Is Dummett --> Demichelis a sound move this week, or would you rather save the FT going into the busy Festive period?
I'd do it.
Do it.
Id wait. If you are playing Dummett this week he has a great chance of getting CS v Sunderland, and if you dont then you have other great options in defence and wont need Demi.
A clean sheet in the Tyne-Wear Derby, you must be joking? Maybe I am wrong, but are they not traditionally goal fests
They are.
Sunderland are dreadful
Derby. I think I may bench Dummett
Hi Lads, first time doing this sitting on roughly 800 points and just can’t seem to gain on leaders sitting on 890… any help /advice/ ridicule would be greatly appreciated;
Adrian
Clyne Ivanovic Jagielka
Chadli Oscar Sanchez Siggudson
Bony Costa Pelle
Subs: Murphy ( Keeper) Obertan Hutton Bruce
With 1.4M in the bank
You need a re shuffle.
Players I would be trying to get out would be jagielka for baines .
Chadli needs replacing for someone like downing or eriksen.
Oscar is a good differential but hazard is on fire.
I don't think Costa is essential (personally) if you have hazard, so you could free up funds by doing Costa >Austin, or Kane.....
U shud try to replace below mentioned in phases(don't take too many hits), In order they are listed:
Clyne: little cleanie chance
Chadli: not nailed on
Pelle: bad form/not converting chances/ not favourable fixtures
Oscar: Rotation risk
Jagielka: I have him too but i am fed up that everton can't keep clean sheet like last year
replacements:
Hazard: good form/key player in chelsea setup
city defender
pelle to austin/sakho
decide ur captain wisely coz it makes much difference when u have to catch up some lead.. 😉
jagz chadz oscz pellz to zabz downz haz austin
*austinz i think.. 😉 😛
Right you are, my mistake
- Acon & Asia cup casualties
A few folks have been asking about players that are departing from the epl in the upcoming tournaments so I’ve popped a list down below.
African Cup of Nations
Crystal Palace Adlene Guediora (Algeria), Yannick Bolasie (DR Congo)
Everton Christian Atsu (Ghana)
Hull City Mohamed Diame (Senegal)
Leicester City Riyad Mahrez (Algeria), Jeff Schlupp (Ghana)
Liverpool Kolo Toure (Ivory Coast)
Manchester City Yaya Toure (Ivory Coast)
Newcastle United Mehdi Abeid (Algeria), Papiss Cisse (Senegal), Cheick Tiote (Ivory Coast)
Southampton Emmanuel Mayuka (Zambia), Sadio Mane (Senegal)
Stoke City Mame Biram Diouf (Senegal)
Swansea Wilfried Bony (Ivory Coast)
Tottenham Nabil Bentaleb (Algeria)
West Ham United Alex Song (Cameroon), Cheikhou Kouyate (Senegal), Diafra Sakho (Senegal)
West Bromwich Albion Youssouf Mulumbu (DR Congo)
Asia Cup
Aston Villa Chris Herd (Australia)
Crystal Palace Mile Jedinak (Australia)
Liverpool Brad Jones (Australia)
QPR Yun Suk Young (QPR)
Southampton Maya Yoshida (Japan)
Swansea Ki Sung Yueng (Korean Republic)
West Bromwich Albion Jason Davidson (Australia)
p.s. I accept zero responsibility for the content of the above lists…….
When do you expect players to leave for this tourney?
Acn starts on the 17th and Asia cup the 9th (January) so I'd expect them to go on weeks 20 and 19 respectively (a week early). It could well be the week before but we should find out in plenty of time.
Cheers. So there is a high possibility that Yun could miss GW19 (CPL) and Gw20 (SWA)
Sauce? 😉
Cheers. Only Yaya for me, nice easy transfer
The Pan Asia Cup seems to have gone under the radar. This is the first I have heard of it.
So do I, not happy with Yun on that list.
Ooooh my first ever green 😆
Splendid! Thank you.
I hope QPR win the Asia cup 😉
What are opinions on Baines ?
Waiting for Mirallas info, if out then keep Baines ? : - )Waiting on Mirallas info. If he's fine I will just get rid on Jan WC.
^ This
Everton aren't keeping clean sheets. Why keep him? he's not going to get a penalty every week to make up for the lack of defensive returns.
Sold for Demi.
Thank you all, I will wait for Mirallas info, if he's out I will keep him and hope for 3 double figures in a row!
Lost at bottom
Morning all. Some great teams here, but I would absolutely love a vote. Please vote for the Horse.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/12/15/scout-picks-community-champion-vote-gameweek-17/?hc_page=1#hc_comment_9152125
Coincidence?
Mirallas was out for GWs 8-11... Baines scored 15, 7, 7, 11.
Since Mirallas has been back... Baines has got 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1.
We need him to be injured again.
*we need him to be in our teams
Cant be, I hate mirallas but great to have in fpl. So selfish
It's not a coincidence, Baines is more defensive when Mirallas plays, Mirallas is a bit of a ball hog, and steals his set pieces (see Mirallas scoring from a FK last night).
He always ignores Baines' overlaps.
It's only 1, 1, 2, 1
Pick 1 to play next game
A) Bertrand EVE (H)
B) Dummet SUN (H)
C) Jedinak MCI (A)
Straight shoot out between Costa and Rooney for the next 4 games, who would you choose? Head says Costa, but genuinely worried about game time with the package fixtures, and Drogba sat ready and waiting (and on form).
Guzan (MUN),
Baines, Clyne, Dummett,
Hazard, Sanchez, YAYA, Downing,
Costa, Bony, Austin
Krul*, Boyd, Wisdom, Moore - 1FT 1.0 ITB
What to do?
Concerned about Guzan v MUN, Baines form, lack of Eriksen...
best forward as one week punt ? will be giving armband to him,have a lot of catching up to do
I regret I didn't buy caroll and van persie couple of weeks ago when I was sure they will do wellRVP or Austin.
can austin score a hatty against a decent west brom defence? 😛
Austin.
What's the thinking behind it being Demi/Mangala as the City defender of choice.
Given he's just had a rest and is far more attacking, isn't Zaba the best option?Yes I think he is, probably a price issue.
They have a much bigger chance of starting each game. Both full backs are almost guaranteed to rotate.
Demi was good last year when he was first choice.
Simply a price issue. Zab would be my first choice, but I cannot afford him
i could have had him last week but opted for roon and ivan instead. Suppose i could drop bainesy to get him in...
Yeah haven't been in town but pretty crazy stuff man. Just some unhinged dikhead though nothing to do with these IS losers etc.
As for being a utd fan, we all have our weaknesses
lol
Which one over the next 5 gameweeks?
A) Giroud + Nasri
B) Sakho + Yaya
B's good for the next 4 - but then they will be off to ACON.
Great thanks. Actually I have B currently. So might switch to A in January.
which to bench?
Fabianski (Hul,away) vs Panti (New, Away)Panti imo
thanks! how about Baines > Azpilicueta?
or keep Baines?
Panti & keep baines
Im thinking this or Baines -> Terry myself, but am holding for now. Waiting on news re Mirallas
same here, waiting for Mirallas news.
Terry and Azi is in my watchlist too.
I'm definitely keeping Baines.
Today
Derby County vs Chelsea FC
Sheffield Utd vs Southampton
Tomorrow
Bournemouth vs Liverpool FC
Tottenham vs Newcastle UtdYaya or Austin for captain?

There are some great teams but I would love to represent you all against the Scouts this week, please feel free to upvote if you like my team 🙂
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/12/15/scout-picks-community-champion-vote-gameweek-17/?hc_page=1#hc_comment_9154126You've got it in the bag Jonny. 🙂
Clyne to Clichy worth it for free? Or any other defender max 5.7m
I think he'll be rested for at least one of City's nice fixtures. But OK if you have cover on your bench.
Yea rest of def is Azpi Hutton Dummet Wisdom and been alright so far so think will swap
A lot of people seem to think Clichy will rotate with Kolorov, but he has started the last 9 and seems to be revelling in getting consistent starts. The fans forums seem to be bugging him up as Pelli's first choice too.
bigging
Yea just been looking at his stats and saw started every game since 18 oct so think will swap, cheers
You've got a decent Def there
Cheers mate, hovering around 5k at moment so just want bit more attacking from def to try and kick on
Don't mean to look mean but I'm pissed. So he ruins Baines for all the easy fixtures and now he gets injured.
https://twitter.com/Everton/status/544616761287770112
As of gameweek 18 I will be taking a punt on either Falcao or Balotelli (please refrain from laughing)
Any thoughts on which is better?
If Falcao starts this weekend I'm definitely going with him (I think)Why bother?
Falcao is probably the least terrible.
definitely not Balotelli.
get Balotelli for a laugh
I bought Balotelli for gw3 (just from the excitement of him being back!), but wont do it again. Liverpool are a wreck, he is a wreck, I cant see it working out.
And a Falcao with limited gametime from Wilson (!) will hardly do you much good.
Buy Andy Carroll instead, thats fun
Chances of Chambers not playing this week? As my other defenders are Moore (out of favour) and Hutton (suspended). Also worried Terry might be rotated
He will play as long as Kosc is injured
He will play. Koscielny is still out.
Between Cahill and Terry, I think Cahill more likely to be rotated. Chambers should play, my guess.
Cheers guys
Play 3:
Cresswell (LEI) Bertrand(EVE) Baines(sou) Wisdom(qpr)
Thanks.Drop Wisdom.
Cress, Baines, Wisdom 🙂
Cress Baines Wisdom
Who to get in - Silva or Eriksen?
Eriksen for form, Silva for fixtures. Get both 😉
I wish!
Sanchez + Agbonlahoar ----> Silva + Giroud
Yes or No?yes
Baines > Zabaletta.... tempting.
Do it. But confirm the extent of Mirallas' injury first
It looks good even if Mirallas is out a while.
When you say something like: hes done his job with a ploom (plumb) (plume)
How is it actually said/spelt?Aplomb.
aplomb (one word)
Thanks all, was going mad trying to spell it!
Actually its just one word.
AplombAs in - the best person for the job.
Yeah i knew what it meant just couldn't work out how to spell it, never even thought about it being one word.
This is one of THE funniest posts I have ever seen! 😆 Just the variations in the spellings and the attempts, might be a little disabled on that front. 😉
The kind lads above have already helped you out, so you won't need my spelling help!Not that mine's any better 😆
Glad to be of service 😛
Dave wasnt very good at cleaning windows so Peter often told his wife that he done his job with a plum
the funniest thing is when i googled it with the phrase: like a duck to water to see it if would come up as a similar alternative option.
Needless to say i got Duck and Plum recipes all over the gaffHahah ! 🙂
A) Play Wisdon
B) Play Chambers
C) Chambers > Clichy/Demi (Bench Wisdom)Id be tempted to play Chambers.
miralllas and benteke > silva and kane?
Anyone out there that likes these moves as a wildcard reshuffle?
Current Team:
T.Heaton - Given
Wisdom - Hutton - Chambers - COLEMAN - DUMMETT
Sanchez - Yaya - Downing - OSCAR - SIGGY
Bony - COSTA - BENTEKE
thinking about downgrading my frontline to upgrade elsewhere (-20 or WC, leaving 0.0 itb):
T.Heaton - Given
Wisdom - Hutton - Chambers - AZPILICUETA - ZABALETA
Sanchez - Yaya - Downing - ERIKSEN - HAZARD
Bony - GIROUD - AUSTIN
What do ye think?So...
Coleman -> Azpilicueta
Dummett -> Zabaleta
Oscar -> Eriksen
Siggy -> Hazard
Costa -> Giroud
Benteke -> AustinI do!
Thanks Arvin 🙂
Why would you WC now? Wait a couple weeks.
Why not wildcard now?
I don't really want to use the January wildcard early in January with transfers still going on until the end..Your team doesn't look like it really needs a wildcard to be honest. Maybe a couple tweaks here and there. Would be more valuable to save that for later in the season.
Baines in summary:
No Mirallas, no Barkley = Left winger
Just Barkley = Left Midfielder
Just Mirallas = Left wing-back
Mirallas and Barkley = Left back^this
