          are you confortable only w/ Krul new? why not have for xtra .5 vito and rotate depending on fixture

          1. Coaly
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Could do JWP to Boyd and 4.0 to Manonne but seems like a waste of .5 as I'll probably want to upgrade Naismith before long

    Is Nacer Chadli nailed on for Tottenham now? if so, is he a good alternative to lamela?

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Short term yes long term no

    2. pompeyfan
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't say he's nailed on after 2 consecutive starts, no

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…

      Very much so.

    4. Bantasy Football
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen apart, Lamela seems to be the most likely starter of the attacking mids based on his pre-season form and a few good games in Europa League and v.s. QPR. Chadli didn't turn up against Liverpool and Townsend is now getting back to full fitness (although he was extremely rubbish against Liverpool). Dembele and Paulinho could come back too and they just signed Stambouli, which indicates they might stick with 2 CDMs.

    What's going on with the price rises/drops - are they locked?

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No, Skrtyl and Boateng dropped last night

      1. RidersOfTheNight
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        In that case, is there a reliable site to check this. Total FPL has Rooney over 100% but he did not drop. Rio has been over 100% for about a week. Ramsey and Guzan have been over 100% for a couple of weeks.

          http://www.fiso.co.uk/crackthecode.php seems a little but more accurate.

            Cheers, will give it a whirl

    Hi! Any thoughts on my team? Who to transfer out? Is this the right lineup for gameweek 4?

    Krul(Mannone)
    Pieters, Lovren, Jones (Wisdom, Vlaar)
    Henderson, Ramsey, Silva, Fabregas (Siggy)
    Sturridge, Costa, Naismith

    Have 1 FT, 0.0 in the bank

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You got a benching dilemma every week there.
      I'd play Siggy vs Chelsea who just shipped 3 away at Everton. Chelsea are supposedly tight at the back but Siggy you just don't bench.

      I'd save the FT.

      1. Sweden11
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Okey, so who should I bench? Henderson? Naismith?

        1. There's Always One!
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Henderson over siggy all day long

  6. rossonero5
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    RMT:
    De Gea, Hamer
    Debuchy, Lovren, Clyne, Jones, PVA
    Henderson, Fab, Ramsey, Siggy, Cabella
    Naismith, Costa, Rooney

    1. Sweden11
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nice team but sure about cabella.

    2. A guy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Why have 5 good defenders? This a waste of money as you're probably going to bench them. You're basically wasting 1.5m for the bench, which could mean the difference between Sterling and Cabella.

  7. Galfadez
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    If we're doin' the WC thing here's mine atm:

    Begovic (Elliot)
    Ivan Clyne NTaylor (Duff) (Wisdom)
    Ramsey Fabregas Siggy Sterling (Boyd)
    Costa Falcao Naismith

    2.0 itb

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Looking good.

  8. There's Always One!
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Will Rooney drop before the next game week?

  9. KujaliaFC
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Which is the better upgrade?

    A) Zamora to Austin
    B) Henderson to Sterling

    1. There's Always One!
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B if Zamora is bench fodder

      1. KujaliaFC
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This is for UFPL. I want two Liverpool and one QPR.

        I currently have Lovren, Henderson, and Zamora, one transfer spare, and 2.5 ducats to burn.

        1. DavidLuizIsAHero
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Would need to know rest of mid & forward line really but Sterling would be my instinct

  10. Woy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Vincent Kompany has a 5head

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      50p head ?

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        You mean 'High-five head' ?! Haha. 😀

    2. FPLEL
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I think he means 5, as in bigger an four (fore).

  11. Tom1912
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What does everyone think is the better choice out of:

    Naismith + Cahill
    OR
    Welbeck + Clyne

    Defence is currently Taylor and Moreno with PVA and Coloccini as options on a rotation. Upfront I have Falcao and Costa.

    1. mod33
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Naismith and cahill . Chelsea defender and Naismith is in scoring form. Welbs isn't a guaranteed starter next game

      1. Tom1912
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. Arsenal have City too I suppose.

        Other option would be to go all out and get Ivan in, and swap Moreno for Clyne

        1. mod33
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Either way it's a good choice but I'd keep Moreno some good fixtures coming up

  12. Camila's Toe
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is anyone touching Di Maria yet? I have activated my wildcard and I am thinking of taking a punt on him.

    1. Az__07
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rather him than Mata!

    2. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I have. So my midfield right now is Maria, Siggy, Ramsey, Sterling and Silva 😀

      1. Camila's Toe
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Defense must be terrible with all those big hitters in mid... I finally settled on Di Maria for Ramsey. Fingers crossed I don't regret the decision.

        1. Mahesh_Kumar
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Defence : Ivanovic , Shawcross, Clye (Moore, Duff) .... Not so bad eh? 🙂

  13. sweglet
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Krul

    Dummett moreno kompany

    Ramsey fab silva siggy

    Costa rooney jovetic

    Bench; elliot wisdom hutton marney

    Used my ft to get in moreno, any urgent transfers needed? Wouldn't mind up to a -8 hit, 0.3 itb

    1. SoapFC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I took out dummet out of my team and I would recommend the same! he probably won't start, so maybe play wisdom or hutton instead? just my opinion 🙂

  14. Zco
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Wilson nailed on for Stoke?

    If so, worth downgrading Debuchy for him to free up £1m?

    Or is Pieters a better option for £0.5m?

    Cheers

    1. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Go Pieters. He is nailed and better points potential, isn't a trannie waiting to happen

      1. Zco
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks

  15. Wave of Mutilation
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Repost. Best 4.5 (or less) option to partner with Krul and why?:

    A. Mannone
    B. Guzan
    C. Forest
    D. Elliot

    1. Bantasy Football
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mannone. North East rivals so they rotate home and away nicely. Also he made a tonne of saves last season and got more BPs than any other GK.

  16. Keno
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Costa dropped for Spain's Qualifier due to Hamstring injury....... Hope it's nothing serious!

  17. Rushfort

    hazard and costa. update me please thanx 😀

    1. Bantasy Football

      I'd wait. Save up the two FTs for next week or see if anyone gets injured in internationals.

  19. Would an idiot do that?
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What do you guys think of Robertson? Is he nailed on,fit and is there point potential in the coming weeks?

  20. mzlainy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    RMT please:
    Krul (Mannone)
    Lovren Clyne Dier (Hutton Koscielny)
    Larsson Ramsey Siggy(C) Sterling Fabregas
    Costa Ronney (Weimann)

    2FT 0.5m

  21. Mahesh_Kumar
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who will start as left back for Newcastle?

  22. bishyboshy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hiya chaps,

    What are your thoughts on this team?

    Mannone/Krul
    Azpili, Evans, Duff (Wisdom, Moore)
    Fab, Ramsey, Sterling, Siggy (King)
    Aguero, Costa, Welbeck

    0.6 in bank which will be used to upgrade a defender and hopefully keep .1 for the future...

  23. Skipdipper
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Daft question probably. But who is PVA?

    1. applebonkers

    My WC team...

    Krul Foster
    Lovren azpi Chester N.Taylor Alderweireld
    Siggy Fabregas Sterling Ramsey Ward-prowse
    Falcoa Naismith Costa

    Am tempted by Balotelli instead of Falcoa
    Also don't like my defence not having Ivan

    Any comments much appreciated
