    Don't suppose it's worth a hit to get Hazard or Sanchez in (and give 'em armband maybe) £1.2m in the bank

    Bego
    Baines Terry Chambers
    ADM Siggy Sterling Tadic
    Aguero Pelle Beharino

    Bench - Clyne Duff Marney

      I wouldn't but Bego > Foster, Sterling > Sanchez (c) isn't the craziest idea for 4 points. Depends how confident you are with Aguero or whoever you plan on captaining instead.

    Is Hangeland nailed on for Palace or is Wardinho the best Palace defensive option these days?

      Ward's the best. Dann and Delaney will be back from their injuries/suspensions next week

      Kind of got lost in the price changes...

      Thoughts on this lot?

      Aguero Welbeck Berahino

      4.1m ITB & 1 FT

      Amidst all the flair picks being bandied about this week I'm contemplating a very boring transfer.

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Can't afford Siggy -> Sanchez?

        1. Not Irish
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Don't want to.

          1. Not Irish
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Want to keep that money aside to upgrade Welbeck next week.

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              To who? Costa?

              1. Not Irish
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                Was planning on Rooney. But Costa and Falcao both options as well.

                1. Ryan
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 12 Years
                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  Hmm. In which case a keeper trade might be a good option. At this stage Falcao is far from worth it but Rooney might be alright.

                  1. Not Irish
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 6 months ago

                    Rooney's really who I'm after. Will be a differential for once.

                    Thinking Gilks>Foster to rotate with Heaton. Very solid rotation.

                    1. Ryan
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • Has Moderation Rights
                      • 12 Years
                      9 years, 6 months ago

                      Yeah probably the way to go, especially as Foster gets the odd injury too.

                      1. Not Irish
                        • 10 Years
                        9 years, 6 months ago

                        Cheers, Ryan.

            Intriguing. Why?

      2. Jay_
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Siggy to Sanchez

        • sully29

          9 years, 6 months ago

          Goalkeeper transfer? Everywhere else looks fine as long as you're not jumping on to the Hazard/Sanchez bandwagons....

          1. Not Irish
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            That's what I'm thinking. Gilks>Foster to rotate with Heaton. Hazard the only transfer stopping me.

            1. Jacques The Lad
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              would you be taking a hit for haz?

              1. Not Irish
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                Nope can afford any midfielder for any one of AdM, Haz, Sterling or Siggy.

                1. Jacques The Lad
                  • 9 Years
                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  Well I'm a fan of hazard, can't afford the membership so I'm just going off what I see in the games but I really like that pick. I've had him all season, putting the armband on him this weekend and tbh it will take a lot to get him out of my squad

                  1. Not Irish
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 6 months ago

                    Don't get me wrong. I love him as a player. My issue is that he's starting to look like a much better player in real life than in fantasy ala David Silva. Just not worth the risk ATM for me.

                    1. Jacques The Lad
                      • 9 Years
                      9 years, 6 months ago

                      Fair enough, I'm hoping he pays dividends soon otherwise some surgery might be necessary

            2. sully29
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              I'd upgrade Welbeck to Rooney before I'd upgrade any of you mids to Hazard.

              Hazard might explode now but he's been threatening to do it all season and still nothing so I wouldn't want to be depending on him. Rooney, on the other hand, will likely keep racking up points without ever becoming so popular that he stops being a nice differential.

              I'd do the GK switch now and get a better striker next week.

              1. Not Irish
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                Cheers. Exactly my thinking.

        • Aussie_Toon_Lad
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Are you contemplating a gk transfer? Getting Sanchez must be tempting but you should be saving that 4.1 for welbeck to costa next week

          1. Not Irish
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Exactly. Or Rooney. Or Studge. Or Falcao.

        • Not Irish

          Cheers all for the replies.

          9 years, 6 months ago

          Sounds like Haz is tempting you as he is me..... I just remember the West Ham hat trick last year. Guy in my league (c) Hazard that week and it killed me. Keep thinking Haz is going to do it again.

          1. Not Irish
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah. Problem is you'd have to sell a player of better value who's been performing better than him to get him if you have the template midfield.

        • fedolefan

          Costa is suddenly in the picture for you? What changed overnight?

        Dear DZ,

        I implore you to consider voting for a person I only know by the great efforts he takes each week to put together a team for the Community Champion competition.

        Please give Frank Black's contribution a look-see and consider voting for him, no one makes a better effort on a weekly basis. He merits an opportunity:

        (Last post on this by me for a couple of hours, have to get my 1 year old to nursery school and sort out what to do with my 2 year old that is sick and cannot go today - poor guy's been wheezing all night. If someone else wants to take up the cause, would be much obliged.)

        My team after I use my 2FT

        Forster
        Baines, Clyne, Chambers
        Sanchez(VC), Sterling, Hazard(C), Downing
        Aguero, Pelle, Welbeck

        Guzan, Moore, Naylor, Boyd

        Plan is to save the FT next week then get Costa back after the international break

            • 10 Years

            Probably downgrade hazard to a mid price mid like Chadli or Siggy

              rest of team: baines-chambo-wisdom // chadli - adm // welbeck - dcosta - aguero
              or i could just do sterling>oscar and keep sigur.
              thing is sigur's fixt are not as friendly as sou next 3. even tho sigur seems fixture proof as seen against holand.

                      cheers. will give it a look, as i was thinking of keeping dcosta. dont want to take risk of costa being arounf ag QPR at home. but berahino is in huge form. its either that or mane + ooscar.

                2. Haz + Moses! You have no WestHam/Spurs/Stoke players for their corresponding fixtures next two GWs. I responded to your post earlier check it out.

                    Nevermind! Sorry confused you with another team. Seems like your leaning towards 1, and it could reap huge rewards if it works. Take the chance! cant win if you don't take a chance! Do it and be confident about it.

                • 10 Years

                Foster & Guzan

                • 10 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                Foster/McCarthy. I have Begovic/Green, still it looks like McCarthy will take Green's place eventually.

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

                  Won't be for a while, Green had a great game today

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

              Duff has some easy fixtures after Arsenal. Anyone think Burnley are capable of more clean sheets? Or sell Duff.

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

                sell Duff if no other problems. But is he a defender you have to play week in week out?

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

                  This is true. I need Isgrove out, too

              2. Guidinho
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                One of the better defenders at the 4mil mark who are getting 90mins

            4. schifoso
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Question to members: Too lazy to search around for a glossary of terms so.... within the members comparison tool, what does the "+key" refer to for players?

              Anyways, Henderson > Mane

              Thoughts? Seem pretty confident I'll go ahead with it but wanted to gauge the community as well

              1. Ryan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                key refers to the important stats, I believe they are highlighted differently when you look at the stats in the comparison tool. Personally I think Mane offers more potential than Hendo, the ICT index certainly thinks so

              2. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                Key points. The more important factors.
                I like using both the key & overall. In most cases, both will favour one player.

              3. schifoso

                Cheers guys!

                • 10 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

                Mane I haven't seen. He seems like he has more threat than Henderson, so likely a good move.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Now I'm looking for weaknesses in my team. I fear I have grown too fond of some players and believe my team to be better than it actually is. I am blinded by this, can you guys help me see the light?

              Now this team is subject to the Costa question but assuming he will play against QPR what is wrong with this side?

              Forster, McCarthy
              Baines, Ivan, Naylor (Moore, Duff)
              Sterling, Tadic, Chadlii, Siggy (Boyd)
              Costa c, Aguero, Pelle
              2FT
              1.6m

              Naylor has an awkward fixture this week so I'm keen to move him on possibly to Chambers and carrying over the other FT. Is this really a wasted transfer though? is there something more important which needs addressing? Again its based on the assumption Costa will be fit.

                I don't see the point in the Chambers transfer. He'll be no better than Naylor and maybe even worse long term.

                For me Costa aside it's Tadic, Chadli and Ivan who aren't worth the squeeze from that lot.

                  I think Chadlii is my weakest link in midfield. Tadic might go eventually but not while he has good fixtures. Chadlii on the other hand might even lose his spot soon, in fact it wouldn't surprise me if he's dropped for the next game.

                    Agreed. Chadli and Ivan would be my priorities.

                    The question is what to do this week. 😆

                    For me I'd downgrade Costa and upgrade Chadli but I know you're not into that.

                      Yet....Its still a possibility pending more Costa news. Again I could defer the problem till next week and make a conservative trade but that could come at a massive cost if Arsenal go nuts. Plenty to ponder over.

                      Costa>Welbeck
                      Chadli>Fab/Haz

                      Looks good for this week and possibly long term as well.

                        Not a bad solution, it provides an Arsenal player and an extra Chelsea one. Welbeck is teetering somewhat on the sell/buy ledge so I'm not sure on that. Perhaps Jonty is onto something re Berahino?

                          Been on about him since preseason. Shame I didn't start with him. What might've been.

                    why do u think chadders might drop? pochetino has ben happy w him and has played him at time even as a 2nd forward on the left wing. he almsot scored this gw on that eriksen cross. who would come in his place?
                    seems lamela - erik -chadli are nailed as can be.
                    townsend, lennon are bench duty kane can come in for him or in for ade during game.

                      akso chadli is their top goal scorer w/ 4. no reason to drop him being so

                      Well the simple fact that Spurs are struggling for goals and penetration. I heard the commentators during the game and they were slamming Chadlii and Lamela who constantly looked to cut inside (predictable) and provided very little pace and width to stretch the defence. Basically Poch is being very naive to persevere with 3 #10's

                        w/ al due respect, the commentators might have been pissed off. but how can u drop your top goal scorer. of anyhting he'd drop again eriksen or lamela. not chadli, and im not belgian. ade is at times poor in work ethic.
                        id keep all 3 and stick w the talent. cant se townsend, lennon doing better. lamela is the one thats huge talent but inconsistent, but poche being argentinian will stik w him imo.

                        in 1970 world cup, brasil played w/ 4 #10s..u play w the best talent and make room for them. yes, comparison is huge, but just as a pt of ref

                          Yep, and you make a good point. Whats wrong with 3 #10's? these commentators were obviously old school and very English in their approach to football (traditional). The thing is though, they weren't that wrong. Spurs did struggle to offer genuine goal threat. Its a hard one and a tend to agree that Poche is unlikely to change that style.

                            yep. actually they were 5 #10s in in 1970.
                            thats why it was revolutionary to certain dergee
                            pele, rivelino, jairzinho, tostao, and gerson were all #10s in their respective clubs the coach just reassigned roles like tostao playng forward etc.

                            its al baout being a "good intelligent" coach.

                            and poche is right. heck at beg of seaso i was in doubt of chadli, as i thought they could play w soldado and ade upfront. but he proved me wrong. chad didnt even start for belgium. erik and lamela for me r untouchables.

                I'd get rid of Taylor, three tough fixtures ahead, especially for a DF. Personally, i'm not pleased with Sterling and you should probably get rid of one between Tadic and Chadli(Tadic is going to face tough fixtures soon). The attack looks great if Costa is actually going to be fit for QPR.

                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  Yeah I could probably hold Tadic for another 3GW's while he has good fixtures but yeah I think Chadlii and Sterling are probably more urgent matters. Chadlii in particular might even lose his starting spot I fear.

                    • 11 Years

                    I don't think he'll ever lose his starting spot but without Sturridge and with the team playing so badly he's not producing much. I'd love to see him play as a false 9 since Balotelli is pretty much a false 9 or false forward in general himself.

                      Sorry I was talking about rumours on Chadlii losing his spot to err Townsend.

                      I agree that Sterling could be great as a false 9, Class is perminant and all that too. I don't think he needs to go urgently but at the same time I think he is in line for the chop. I think Sterling is worth holding for another week, when Liverpool score goals he is usually involved.

                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  Chadli and Siggy would worry me , mid is full of as assisters, there is a goalscorer emerged ( Sanchez ) maybe downgrade Ivan to get him ?

                    Yeah an Ivan downgrade might be a way in to get finance and if it wasn't for QPR this week I'd probably have sold him by now. Chambers is really the only defender I'd want in though but it just seems to be a week too soon to sell Ivan.

                        9 years, 6 months ago

                        Yh I get you but flip side of it Sanchez has BUR and your team will be better for it in the coming weeks and who knows QPR could sneak a goal they are confident all of a sudden

                          Hmm, you raise a good point about how Sanchez's time is now. I agree that to get him next week will be a week too late perhaps negating the sale of Ivan a week too soon. Certainly something to consider.

                            That's assuming you are thinking of
                            Ivan Siggy > Chambers Sanchez ( if affordable I'd go for it )

                              Certainly affordable but I might sell Chadlii instead of Siggy. I just have a feeling his time has come. We all know Siggy is class however.

                                  Yep that's true Chadli is just the better short term pick , Siggy for the season and your TV will not drop if you lose Chadli

                        I'd be concerned about no arsenal attack this week plus they have some reasonable fixtures coming up. Costa would be the only 1 I can see funding this though

                          Yep, I'll await news on Costa but at this point in time, I'm almost certain to keep him based on recent quotes.

                        Chadli and Tadic seem hot and cold, Sterling has been a little off form in the last couple, Ivan is in my chop zone (but will stay this week for QPR) and Naylor's fixtures now turn. Naylor is probably the weakest short-term from that lot, but finding a suitable replacement that will deliver you more points than replacing one of the others is not simple. Sorry, that's probably not very helpful.

                        1. Ryan

                          9 years, 6 months ago

                          No very useful. It wouldn't be ideal for me to sell both Naylor and Ivan over the next few weeks. I should look to minimise my defensive transfers and an Ivan downgrade might be more useful when considering the rest of my team.

                            Minimizing defensive transfers is a sound policy. However, I must confess I have just shipped Naylor myself - though I'm fairly confident I will get good returns from his replacement. (I had £3m in the bank before the move if that helps you guess who I bought! 🙂 )

                              Ha! upgrades are always worthwhile though (perhaps downgrades are too?) Its the like for like defensive transfers which seem a bit meh though? Will I really gain that much in the long term going with Chambers over Naylor? Perhaps I'd be better off making a structural change but downgrading Ivan? Then again, Naylor has an awkward fixture this week.

                                It's tricky. If you don't make a change to the back line this week then anything more than 2 points from your third defender will be a bonus. But apart from Soton, no team has really been showing a greater propensity for clean sheets than those teams already represented in your backline. So your money may go further if spent upfield.

                          Yeah, its a conservative move but it will provide me with further info on making the more serious changes next week. Will have to hide behind the couch during the Arsenal game though.

                            More chance than Naylor v Everton. And agree, looks boring but is best for upcoming fixtures. And yes, keeps your spare FT for another week

                                I still like it now , rewarded for consistency, just mean with less Pelle and making it this far it becomes more important , bit of a silly question but am I right that gw8 it will be between 2 people left fighting for the 1st place ?

                                Can I get a prize for coming top this week or does the warm glow of satisfaction have to suffice?

                                      Great stuff. Top 1K finish is well within your sights.

                                      Not sure if 'plenty enough' makes sense but I'm gonna with it

                                        'gonna go with it' even. I need to go to bed.

                                        A top 1K finish is still a distant dream at this stage. Laid the groundwork for an assault but there's still plenty chance to muck it up.

                              Considering this wildcard team:

                              Aguero Pelle Berahino

                              Thoughts? Just wondering who to choose for keepers, too.

                                (9.6 left but wouldn't spend much more than 9 on keepers)

                                Looks solid. Really strong midfield and great balance. You not concerned about Costa or any other premium striker?

                                1. Scoredelario
                                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                                  Concerned for sure. If mourinho says something positive about Costa it might be back to the drawing board.

                                  1. Ryan

                                    9 years, 6 months ago

                                    Its a good thing the other options are sidelined for now. Might be an idea to consider a get out of jail plan if Costa/Rooney/Sturridge becomes essential.

                                you just took a hit, maybe picking your captain should be an easy decision. Sanchez (c)

                                Captain Sanchez. Great fixture this week and he's on form, can't get better than that really.

                              Hey Chaps
                              Ivanovic gets a 1 match ban? Does Chelsea play a cup game before QPR.
                              Thanks

                                They play midweek so Ivanovic is free to play QPR.

                                  Cheers mate. nearly tossed him out for Baines but no red flag

                                    Yes, seems to be true, as the writeup for the Chelsea Shrewsbury game says Ivanovic is suspended so Zouma must start. He's only suspended one game so this must be it.

                                They do. Though with Azpilicueta looking for a route back, I'm not convinced it's Luis that will be dropped.

                                can you do Sterling-->Sanchez by not losing ADM by any chance?

                                    maybe do Wilson-->Yun or 4.0 then Sterling-->Sanchez? Thats what I's do

                                      Another option. Thanks for that.

                                Neither are great options and they both seem very sideways. I prefer A)

                                  I'm somewhat confused by your comment. You reckon I should hold fire as I'm loosing more with the transfers long term?

                                    well, its an awkward one, I think we are both in a very similar situation. A) is a bold move that could be brilliant and it could bit you. B) looks completely pointless as Villa has lost it defensively in my view.

                                    Perhaps consider another way? maybe another conservative option to weigh up against A)

                                      Thank you for the reply. You almost read my mind. The problem with A is that it breaks up some balance to the squad. Team wise. But it could pay off very well with upcoming matches. Thing is would I want to go back if they blank or disapoint?

                                        The thing is I can't see any clear way to make a conservative move in your team. There are hardly any goalies in the 4.5m range that offer better value.

                                        If there was such a move I'd recomend using 1FT and having 2 freebies next week to make a more informed choice.

                                        Nevertheless with Chelsea playing QPR and Arsenal playing Burnley I guess there is no better time than now to jump on their bandwagons.

                              If you were on wildcard would you bring in hazard for Fabregas? Or stick with fab?

                                I like Fab better just for the consistency.

                                  I changed Fab to Hazard. Fab is like a metronome but I like Haz on pens and he is more exciting to own.

                                    Yeah I'm thinking goalscorers usually come out ahead of assisters by the end of the season.

                              2. Goodnight Kiwi

                                9 years, 6 months ago

                                I'd argue Hazard and the reason being is that he ISN'T as consistent as Fab. If he is going to be above or on the same points as Fab at the end of the year - which most agree he will, he needs some big rounds. Pick those and you will win. I feel they could be coming sooner than Christmas too

                                  He did look menacing against manu so God knows what he could do v qpr

                                Depends on how else you would use the cash.

                                  According to my current draft it would be in the bank. I don't really see that as a big deal though because we make transfers all the time... 0.6 can come in handy so if fab is the better value option I'd prefer him

                                    Hmm I would agree that Fabregas is the better value. I also think that Hazard is no longer the go to guy at Chelsea. I can't see him replicating last seasons form.

                                      This. Costa is the X-factor in this reasoning.

                              Thinking about a Sanchez punt for one week - ADM > Sanchez (have welbeck and chambers too) and then get ADM back week after. Ridiculous?

                                yes, he's playing man city who just lost to west ham

                                  Doesn't mean anything. City will beat United to nil

                                    Agree, City miles better than United.

                                Wouldn't use two transfers on it personally

                                Not as ridiculous as it sounds, it would've been nice if you caught his first price rise

                                I think Sanchez will outscore Di Maria, wouldn't bother getting him back

                                  The only thing stopping me from backing up that is the return of Walcott. Still to early i know but could have some impact.

                              Which will score more guys?

                              A) Costa, Sterling, Naylor

                              B) Bera, Sanchez, Baines (-4)

                                I did the same transfers for -4. Too much doubt over Costa and Sterling/Liverpool not firing. Plus I needed Baines as he's too consistent

                                ...this were my reasons anyway

                                  Cheers. Same reasons too, would be first hit.

                                  Only thing stopping me is Costa uncertainty. Can see him smashing QPR and making me rue getting rid.

                                    Spooky, my first hit as well. Only made 6 transfers up until today

                                      Ha 6 transfers too.

                                      With that I hope you do amazing this GW... 🙂

                                  tough call. Swansea are pretty consisten and Spurs are so night and day. Chadli has the preferable fixtures and more proven goal scoring ability when compared to Siggy. Siggy is very unselfish and more of a facilitator.

                                Hey, guys! Long time since my last post. Which one would you choose?

                                A) Naylor - Sigurdsson - Costa

                                B) Bertrand - Sánchez - Berahino (-4)

                                  9 years, 6 months ago

                                  B if Costa remains a doubt

                                  Depends on Costa really. At this stage I'd stick with A

                                  B better fixtures

                                According to the stats, aguero has missed 6 "big chances" in
                                his last 4 games.

                                Yuck!

                                  At least he can afford to miss chances. He puts half of them away.

                                    I've owned him since his first start so I agree. Just wish he had scored those 6! Costa hasn't missed a big chance yet so hopefully they swap stats in that regard haha

                                      I know, imagine if he got that penalty. 5 goals in one game would be unprecedented.

                                I think I've answered my own question about whether I should bring in hazard for Fabregas on wildcard.

                                With Fabregas in the team he isn't even my vice captain. As soon as I put hazard in the lineup on the transfer screen I thought "captain v qpr?"

                                My subconscious definitely prefers haz!

                                  I'd be concerned about he he would go with Costa back. I doubt he'll cut inside as much.

                                      So captain then? Hazard, Sanchez,, Aguero or Costa

                                  Guys, if I already used 2 transfers this week for -4, but I will decide to play my wildcard later in the week, then i assume I won't take that hit? Can anyone clarify this?

                                      Naylor to Chambers or keep the FT?

                                        I'd make that transfer

                                        Naylor isn't too playable in the next three. But Chambers is far from a perfect choice (swa MUN after the plum BUR fixture). It really depends on who your other defenders are.
