    well people with the help of FFS this season I have managed to get myself to 145th with 565 pts.

    Current team is

    De Gea - McCartney
    Clyne - Chambers - Baines - Wilson - Moore
    Sterling - AMD - Siggy - Fab - Boyd
    Pelle - Costa - Welbs

    Have 2 FTs and 1.5m in bank.

    Suggestions welcome for this week !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      @St Johnstone: downgrade de gea and upgrade sterling to Sanchez potentially? But may need to wait until later in the week to see how siggy and costa are looking?

      Nice!!!! I fancy Haz to do well this week. Maybe ADM to him??

  2. GoonerByron

    An Alan Hutton clean sheet and goal is what I'm hoping for tonight with him (C) in Ultimate FPL..! 😀

    Was planning to use my FT to ship out Caulker this week but Costa, and now Siggy have placed their spanners in the works.

    Team is getting weaker and I'm really tempted to hit the WC button.

    Krul, Bego
    Baines, Clyne, Caulker, Chester, Hutton
    Fab, Sterling, Siggy, Downing, Wanyama
    Costa, Aguero, Pelle

    Any other thoughts?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years

      Caulker

      lol

    2. GoonerByron
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I have Costa and Siggy and am thinking about saving my FT this week.. 😐

    3. MJ6987

      Costa dropping again tonight.

      1. SPorting
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, that helps. Thanks MJ 😆

    Would anyone consider a Chelsea defender in the upcoming weeks over Baines..?

    Fixtures slightly better for Chelsea and if the money isn't there for Baines then I think Azpi might be a good player to jump on for some CS's.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Am contemplating getting Azpil in myself. . .

  5. MJ6987
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling / Siggy > Sanchez / Mane (2FT)?

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes IMO.

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Would mean having only Cesc for the QPR game...

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Ill only have one Chelsea player too. Cesc, Hazard or Oscar, not sure which one yet.

          1. MJ6987
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Not sure any sofa is being enough to hide behind for that one

            1. MJ6987
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              *big enough

            2. President John F. Keninnsie
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              You never know! I remember QPR beating Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge a couple of seasons ago.

  6. JPeg
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    How come there's no flag for Ivan? Wont he miss a game?

    1. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Only 1 game though

    2. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      They ran out of red flags at FPL towers. They have ordered more.

    3. whoracle
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Scout tweets: Ivanovic will serve his one-match ban vs Shrewsbury in the Capital One Cup and be available vs QPR in Gameweek 10.

      1. JPeg
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Ah. Cheers

    4. JPeg
      • 13 Years

      Thought there might be a League Cup game or something

  7. izo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    From the bottom of last page...
    2FT
    Shawcross and Moreno to Baines and Chambers?

    1. jaredwilliams
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Like it.

    1. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Note the word "could".

      1. whoracle
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Even if he's out for one gw, it's still better not having that problem atm 😀

    2. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No results yet. Plus International break.

      He should be fine when I need him.

    3. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Hopefully back in time to do Pelle -> Sakho when Sot'on fixtures turn bad

    4. Willis.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      🙁

      Oh well, it was good while it lasted. 28 points in the 3 GWs I've had him for ain't too shabby at all.

      1. Think Tank
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Berahino to Sakho in a few weeks for me.

  8. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Have 2FTs. what's my best transfer this week?

    Krul
    Baines Clyne Chambers
    Fabregas Sterling Mane Sigurdsson
    Aguero Costa Pelle
    -----------------------------------------------------
    McCarthy Boyd Hutton Moore
    Bank:1.1m

    Too early for Walcott?
    Will Costa play next week?
    What are the rumours about a potential Aguero ban?

    Thanks.

  9. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Liverpool in poor form , and Sterling dropping in value. Really tempted to go with Hazard, even if his fpl returns haven't really materialized yet - but home against QPR .... Then there's Tadic, or the Fabregas for consistency. Boils down to these options:

    A) Sterling + Begovic -> Hazard + Foster/Guzan

    B) Sterling + Duff -> Fabregas + Dummet -4 pts

    C) Sterling -> Tadic

    d) hold

    opinions?

    1. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      D

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        sensible , but boring....

    2. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling has scored as many points as Fab in the last 5 games.

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        That's right - but looking ahead rather than back, Chelsea definitely seem to be looking at some attacking returns.

  10. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    ADM to Sanchez done earlier.
    Wouldn't have been able to afford earlier..

    Will give him 3 or 4 GW's.
    Then can switch to either ADM again or possibly Walcott depending how they all go..

    No lose situation I think.
    Looking for a big return at home v Burnley to begin with!!

  11. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Waiting and waiting 🙁 Almost lost 0.2 on Sterling dropping and Sanchez rising. I am loosing my edge obviously

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I thought Sanchez won't rise yesterday. How much he was on FPL statistics ?

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        He scored a brace at the weekend.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I am talking about last night rise. He was far from rising on FPLstatisctics when I checked. Did you read my question?

          1. MJ6987
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Yes, he rose because he scored a brace so lots getting him in. The price tools aren't that reliable this year.

            1. Think Tank
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              He was nowhere near on FPL stats but was set to rise on the other one (fffix?)

  12. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Very happy with my team now, after doing Adm > Haz + Sterling > Sanchez. Was there any issues I missed or am I g2g for next GW?

    Krul (Elliot)
    Baines | Rose | Clyne | (Wisdom)(Hutton)
    Haz | Sanchez | Fab | Tadic | (Siggy)
    Costa | Pelle | Berahino

    Will be doing either Tadic or Siggy > Obertan next GW.

    1. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      You got lucky with Aguero at the weekend but he could have scored a couple, you need to start drawing up plans to get him in. Costa the easiest route but be aware he is dropping like a stone.

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I know mate, just had a feeling he would blank against a confident West Ham side. I was thinking of getting Sturridge in when Pelles fixtures turn sour. But yeah I am worried about not having Aguero. Thanks for the advice.

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I also have done Sanchez for Sterling but waiting not sure why on Hazard for ADM ,not sure if I want to get ADM out CP up next and has outscored Hazard easy based on game time..

      1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Sterling is the obvious one, I'm willing to take the risk on Adm. Hazard is just waiting to explode, it's only a matter of time.

  13. toaster
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Sold Costa last week and brought Sanchez in so I'm happy with that.

    I was thinking I'd bring Costa back in for a hit this week with QPR but that would involve

    Fabregas + Berahino > Costa + 4.7m mid. (-4 pts).

    It's just not worth it is it?

    Would need Costa to outscore Fabregas, Berahino and a -4 hit to make it worthwhile.

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez or Hazard? If u have to choose.

    1. DRY PEANUT
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez playing much better

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Hazard is explosion imminent and is playing against QPR.

        1. DRY PEANUT
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Arsenal play Burnley

        2. Jam0sh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Same

        3. Don Look Back in Wenger
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          qpr 1-0 chelsea last season right?

      2. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure if he's playing much better..

      3. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Haven't watched the games, but Hazard's got good ratings on Sky Sports match reports latest few weeks, so there's good reason to expect a return against QPR

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I did have to choose and i chose sanchez

    3. whoracle
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Neither. Hazard with Costa in the Chelsea side is sh**. Same goes with Sanchez when Wilshere and Ramsey are playing. Can't understand people dumping ADM or Sterling tbh.

      1. Sebbo29
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        would not dump ADM but Sterling I can understand: Pool are not good atm and Sterling looks lost. Not sure if this is only coz of Studge not playing but the team as a whole is not good right now, was awful against Hull imo

      2. Don Look Back in Wenger
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        had adm since gw1 and dumped him 2 gw back, best decision ever and i now haev a differential against adm owner. good luck man u 😛

    4. Willis.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'd rather Sanchez long-term but Hazard is a must this week.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        So now we are even more confused. I think Sanchez will blank this week. Hazard could explode. Both are good longterm

    5. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Would love to have both .... but can't stretch it to Sanchez, and Chelsea got QPR up next. Longer term, Chelsea and Arsenal fixtures look equally good.

    6. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Would go with Haz. I saw the Arsenal match and for me Alexis was not too convincing. Yes he scored twice but those goals were only due to a couple of horrid Sunderland blunders. If it hadn't been for those blunders the game might have ended nil-nil

      1. BobB
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yes, I would agree - both fantastic players but Alexis has enjoyed some slices of luck while Hazard hasn't. Chelsea have some great fixtures coming up, and are surely due a pen or two...

      2. athreya
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Lol what is your point? If there were no defensive errors most matches would end 0-0. Even the united Chelsea match yesterday.

        1. Don Look Back in Wenger
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          well said. alexis positioning is as good as RV nistelrooy, that surely helps u make the decision on owning him, no?

  15. Edmond
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Would really appreciate any inputs. Thanks beforehand! 😀

    Begovic, Hamer
    Baines, Clyne, Collo, Wisdom, Moore
    ADM, Sterling, Siggy, Chadli, Marney
    Aguero, Costa, Pelle

    1 FT, 0.4m in the bank

  16. DRY PEANUT
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Ivanovich owners get lucky.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah loosing 6pts in last 15 sec of the game is luck. Yeah right . Also he should have had assist for earned penalty

      1. BRONALDINHO
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Unless the penalty was for the foul against Terry, would've been a nightmare really for the FPL guys to determine what the foul was there

    2. Don Look Back in Wenger
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      not really. i panic sell him for a 4m to get sanchez in, my 1st blunder of the season, selling ivan before QPR at home.

  17. Pringle
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    If you had to bet all your money on Costa playing vs QPR or not. What would your bet be?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Playing between 25-65 mins

      1. BeardedOldMan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Which is enough for him to score a brace

    3. Sunny 😎
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He plays. Everyone thinking Jose might want to rest him for the easy game but an easy game is also an opportunity to get some game time and get back among goals after an injury..

  18. Garcks
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is it madness to have Fab and Haz? Would mean dropping Costa, but at least gives you two guaranteed starters in the Chelsea attack

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      it is mad.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah I am considering that but that means not having Sanchez

      1. Garcks
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I can fit Sanchez in too. In a cash league and prepared to take a little hit.

    3. whoracle
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Fabs on 4 yellows. Mou might as well drop him for QPR game with Pool away in two weeks time.

  19. BeardedOldMan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Hi everyone, I have 6pts coming off the bench at the end of this gw... What do other people have?

  20. Big_Andy_GAWA

    What's the deal with Remy - is he confirmed out for this week, as well?

  21. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    want a 1-1 scoreline in the QPR Vs Villa match...so that I can reach under 100K ranking

    1. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I pray for 0-1 and guzan penatly save 😀

  22. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard plays ridicilously good without Costa on the pitch, right ?

  23. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Sakho and Berahino have scored 12 goals between them, can they continue this form given their value?

    1. Think Tank
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No, Sakho injured.

  24. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Lol at 18k people who altready got rid of Ivan

  25. BRONALDINHO
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez was not supposed to rise last night, damn!. Had the perfect plan to do ADM -> Sanchez and have enough cash to do a straight swap for Lukaku -> Costa if he was declared fit. If I now pull the trigger, I will have to hope Costa drops in price soon

    1. Think Tank
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Costa due to drop.

      1. BRONALDINHO
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        For a couple of days now..but I might go the alternative route - a cheap striker and siggy to Alexis

  26. The Machine
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Ramsey for a few weeks then switch to walcott instead of snachez for a hit?

    Hi guys,

    Some advice needed as thinking of playing wildcard. Already missed some price rises which is quite annoying...

    Here's current team:

    http://i58.tinypic.com/oaxfn4.png

    Thinking of making the switch to:

    http://tinypic.com/r/jj8thu/8

    What do we think?

    1. BeardedOldMan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure you'll get enough pay back for the changes

  28. Sir David White
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Who am I?

      I score a goal every other game.

      I will start every game as centre forward for my team.

      I am cheaper than Lambert, Balotelli, Podolski and Loldildo.

      I have 0.3% ownership.
