United and QPR have worries over their first-choice stoppers as we assess the weekend’s new injury concerns for the final time this season. It’s fair to say that, this time round, the injuries have been kept to a minimum.

Aston Villa
Kieran Richardson missed Villa’s 6-1 thrashing at Southampton due to a calf complaint.

Man United
David de Gea was replaced during this afternoon’s draw with Arsenal after sustaining a hip injury.

QPR
Rob Green was forced off with a head knock after colliding with team-mate Joey Barton during the R’s home win over Newcastle.

Sunderland
Billy Jones was replaced late on in the Black Cats’ goalless draw with Leicester due to a muscle problem.

Swansea
Ki Sung-Yeung missed Swansea’s home clash with City after undergoing minor knee surgery in time to be fit for the start of next season.

West Ham
James Collins was withdrawn early on against Everton due to a leg problem, the Hammers have confirmed. Kevin Nolan missed out due to a family bereavement.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Lads and ladettes - need to just hold off my ML and H2H chasers...
    I'm more worried about H2H rival this week but I can't see a stand-out trade to make..

    Krul Heaton
    Terry Bellerin Morgan Vlaar Duff
    Haz Sanchez Cazorla Hendo Bolasie
    Kane Kun Benteke

    0.4ITB...

    was thinking of Caz --> Mata just for united cover against hull?
    Cheers 🙂

      Get rid of Kane! Try Cisse, Ulloa, Vardy?

        don't trust Carver to give Cisse enough minutes... I mean, he needs rest (Carver thinking)

        This. Kane has to go. I already have Vardy, but thinking of doubling with Ulloa.

          Nice call.. Leicester vs QPR could be a rout

    Captain choice for week 38:

    a) Austin
    b) Benteke
    g) Gomis
    k) Kane
    l) Lukaku
    s) some incredible other punty idea - who?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy or Cisse

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I have a strange feeling about Jelavic. Not that I will be bringing him into my team!

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Jelly looked lively at Spurs yesterday, good shout

    3. coran2123
      • 12 Years

      Charlie Adam against his old club 😉

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        he's playing Blackpool?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Liverpool

      2. Enzo the Baker
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Ooh good shout - i wish FPL offered 10 pts for a 'worldie'-type goal.. I don't see him scoring too many in one game - aguero/lukaku/haz on the other hand have penos and tap-ins on offer

        1. coran2123
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Shame it's impossible to objectively determine how good a goal is! Goals like these makes a football fan feel truly alive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3vWMEwZMQE

          True, though Adam takes corners and FKs (according to FFS?), strikers would be a better shout

          1. Enzo the Baker
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Haha that was some goal by hernandez right there.. self-assist + goal + 3 baps banked 😛

    4. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Lukaku

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        yea will probably tempt fate and go with Lukaku

        got to put away all sharp objects in the room though.

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          * chortles

    5. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      RVP?

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        would love to

        don't think he cares

      2. Heels_Over_Head
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        but a good shout no doubt

  3. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    I need Hazard to at least get something against WBA. Selling Silva over him could prove to be a big mistake 🙁

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Will get CS pt 😛

    2. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      same boat PPU. Made so much sense pre deadline. Logic was there - if we had to choose between the 2 to sell for Arsenal mid, it had to be Silva. All signs pointed to Hazard starting both games and he is explosive while Silva had 2 tricky fixtures against stubborn teams.

      Chin up! Hoping for a Hazard masterclass in breaking defences apart.

      1. Taffer
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Hazard's form is poor though - and for the last two fixtures you can't go on much else.

        1. Shifty
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          I'd rather roll the dice with Hazard than Silva, who is less explosive and I personally did not expect Swansea to concede 4...form and all.

          1. Enzo the Baker
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Fair call, especially after the 1-0 lockdown at the emirates.. Are you planning on bringing silva back ? Or more pressing transfers ?

            1. Shifty
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 7 months ago

              I'm gonna bow out in style. -8 or -12 on the cards! So pay no heed to my plans 😀

    panti > schmeichel for free?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Boring...

      But I can't say much, considering I plan on doing Alderweirald to Azpi 😛

    2. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      please don't let that be your last transfer.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        This!

      2. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        sucks but no choice, have to play safe and protect my ML lead......

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          bad lisa

        2. Shifty
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          is there another transfer you can block off? Surely you're just blocking off 4-5 points.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      no

    4. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I'm up by 54 in my ml. Have haz terry sanchez (c), bellerin and ozil to go. Opponent has ivanovic, kosc, sanchez, caz (c) to go. Can I start planning a vacation with the winnings?

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        You are fine. I would guess very very similar score for those 2 sets of players with slight advantage to you with the capt on Sanchez

      2. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        UP BY 54 AND YOU'RE CONSIDERING THE MOST DULL(bold underline italic) TRANSFER EVER.

        Sorry an overreaction here is warranted.

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Time to live a little? kun to Austin it is then 🙂

          1. Shifty
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            dont live too much silly.

          2. Joggers Nipple
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Im leading by around 40 and it will probably stay around that.

            Boring move is Alderw to a defender at the same price or below.

            Im going Kane to Vardy or Giroud to Bentekke

            1. Shifty
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 7 months ago

              worried that Vardy can finally rest that foot of his? Injections every game...

              1. Joggers Nipple
                • 16 Years
                10 years, 7 months ago

                Ah, good point.

  5. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Ladies and gentleman. I present you Kolarov stats

    Man city results with kolarov- 15 starts, 11 wins, 2 Draws, 2 Loss (epl)

    Stats- 2 goals 2 assists 8 cs

    Dont understand how clichy gets into city starting xi with this guy at their disposal

    1. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Pelligrini doesn't have a clue most of the time. Aguero and Silva bail him out 🙂

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        yeap and if kolarov was nailed on would be one of the first names in my fpl team

        1. Enzo the Baker
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          But then every man and his dog would have him 😛

          1. Shifty
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            then you'd have to captain him to make a difference.

            1. Enzo the Baker
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 7 months ago

              Now there's a thought! Definitely an option for UFPL managers though

              PS - captaining king aleks, taken together with your -12 on the last GW comment : you should really consider changing your name to "Punty" or some such variant if it's already taken 😛

      2. coran2123
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        "Most of the time"?

        1. Shifty
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          ok i was trying to be nice...

          *Pelligrini doesn't have a clue. Aguero and Silva bail him out

      3. Captain Peacock
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        He is indeed a dunce and for City's sake I hope he is sacked. Jardim in!

    Some Transfer News:

    - Brendan Rodgers wants to sign Manchester City misfit Stevan Jovetic (Mirror)
    - Petr Cech is ready to join Real Madrid – if David de Gea snubs the Spanish giants (Sun)
    - Manuel Pellegrini has told James Milner that staying at Manchester City would be best for his career (Express)
    - West Ham manager Sam Allardyce claims ‘everybody has short memories’ and will demand answers should he be sacked next week (Mail)
    - Alan Pardew has warned any clubs seeking to sign Crystal Palace’s best players that it will take hefty bids to prise them away from Selhurst Park this summer (Guardian)

      10 years, 7 months ago

      Arsenal have forked out £10,000 to sign 11-year-old Charlie Patino from League Two side Luton Town. (Mail)

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        10K is a lot from Wenger, the kid must be talented!

        1. Ziro Becomes One
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          😮

    2. Captain Peacock
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Jove is a gun who is being wasted by Pellegrini. He would do well at Pool, playing in the hole or as a second striker

      1. Captain Peacock
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        And Pellegrinis statement to Milner is hilarious! Run Milner Run!

      2. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I think Arsenal would suit him, if Wenger signs him...he is anyday better than Giroud

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      yay for silly season!

    3. Enzo the Baker
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Does anyone want Pardew's players? Except Bolasie maybe, and even he has just 1 goal in 60+ appearances in the last two seasons if you discount the one game against sunderland

      1. Captain Peacock
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Puncheon and Speroni might interest a few

        1. Enzo the Baker
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Agreed on Puncheon.. Haven't seen enough of speroni I'm afraid

          1. Moin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Clubs might be interested in Dann as well..

    4. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Fat Sam is a 'fool' (insert any other word you like for fool)

      Fair play on their start. Probably over achieved. Record since GW18, around Boxing day

      LLDDWLDDDLLLWLDLDWLL

      Gash

      1. Enzo the Baker
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Wonder if that coincides with Downing's brief injury spell, and Sakho's back troubles..

        In any case i think the ambition was just 40+ pts and safety, which is a bit depressing

  7. wilsonito
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Got 30 odd points to make up on leader if I want to win my ML. Who's the best few players I should consider for the last week & who to captain?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Benteke, Lukaku, Phillips, Young, N'Doye,

  8. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe wants to sign out-of-favour Liverpool frontman Rickie Lambert this summer, reports the Daily Mirror.

    1. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Career suicide moving to Liverpool there little Ricky

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Yup!

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        He's not worried about that. Home city. Childhood dream to play for Pool. Financial security. Now that he's achieved these he might like a small club where he's guaranteed to play most weeks.

    2. Captain Peacock
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Is the return of Ings too expensive?

  9. coran2123
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    With the end of the season approaching us, any interesting stats about your FPL year that are interesting and/or surprising?

    http://anewpla.net/fpl/

    Aguero and Austin have averaged 11 and 10 points for me, while Lloris has only managed 2.7ppg.

    Meanwhile, I have not owned a single Palace player at all 😛

    1. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      i fare better with a 3-5-2 😯

      1. coran2123
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I almost average the same amount of points with a 4-4-2 as a 3-52!

    2. Marknlard
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I played Bony twice all season and one of those was as captain. I don't even remember owning him.

    3. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      393 defender points sounds poor

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        But I have played Caulker 24 times....

      2. coran2123
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Considering you played Caulker for over half the season, that's actually decent 😀

        427 here, played Leicester def before it was cool (and fruitful)

    4. Marknlard
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Eurgh, I've had Sterling for half the season. That's depressing.

    5. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Difference Between your Captain Points and Highest Possible : -390
      Total Defender Points : 462

      No Palace or West Ham players.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        No Palace or Hull for me.

        I have owned 4 Newcastle players???? And i know 2 were Dummet and Hadria. Oh dear

    6. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Just realized I have 488 defender points this season...seems like alot!

      1. coran2123
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        4.4 points per def player (assuming you play 3 each week), that's massive!

    7. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I captained Ramsey one week apparently. Dont know what the hell happened there.

      1. coran2123
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I captained Baines during their awful run, 1-1 Hull and a YC

    8. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero Austin Kane Hazard Yaya and Silva has the highest averages for me

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        and forgot costa got me 90 points in 10 games

      2. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Benteke 46 PPG for me 😆

    9. mozza
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Overall rank of 70ish with an average gw rank of 700k... Seems like there's a lot of room for improvement there!

    10. Miro
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Captain Sanchez averaged me 21.3 points, while captain Aguero only 11.6.
      I'm guessing that's why I chose to captain Alexis last week.

  10. Judas
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    So my rival Captained Aguero instead of Sanchez by mistake. And is currently up on the deal. How ridiculous!

      But would you swap from Sanchez to Aguero now if you had the choice?

    2. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      It was always about the Sunderland game.

  11. Koflok
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Kane -> Vardy

    Hardly excites me but because I got Gerrard in, there's no money for Toby -> Lolarov.

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Boring

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Can't beat Defoe -> Ulloa

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Kane out looks like the standard move this week.

      I did the ghost team if you turn back a page by the way 🙂

      1. Koflok
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Yep saw it bud. Interesting stuff. Jagielka isn't in the mix?

        Chadli + Downing covers a few good weeks when the essentials are out too.

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          nah that extra 0.5 from Jags -> Soton is needed elsewhere

  12. Norco
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Percentage that Hazard will feature on the pitch tonight?

    1. Enzo the Baker
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Feature on the pitch ? 95%, he wants that "appeared in every game" record
      Starts ? maybe 80%

    2. coran2123
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Probably at least 15 mins

    3. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      100

    4. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      pretty good

      Hazard, Terrry & Ivanovic all vying to start every game of a championship season... have all requested to Mourinho to start all games

    5. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      You hiding or cheering?

  13. Jimbo123
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    So, I have narrowed my midfield punt down to the following 3, but which do you prefer?

    A.) Puncheon

    B.) Milner

    C.) Charlie Adam

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Punch

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A or C

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Puncheon out of those

    4. coran2123
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Milner probably the safest out of the 3, but the other two are tempting

    5. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      C

    6. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A

    7. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A) Zaha

  14. HVT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Some overall ownership of concern
    Hazard 42% (224pts)
    Ivan 30%
    Terry 22%
    Brunt 0.7% (113pts)(same as ramsey higher than Adm)

    1. coran2123
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Never noticed Chris Brunt had 9 assists :O

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        He does that most Seasons. Still is a no go

    2. Enzo the Baker
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry HVT but I think these overall ownerships are pretty useless now in GW37...

      Top 10k (which is a pretty accurate reflection of the top 100k as well) would be something like 80% Hazard, 60% Terry and 40% Ivan I think (iirc from fpldiscovery)

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Fair point you're right but you've left out someone from above enzo......
        😉

        1. Enzo the Baker
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Ah, how could I !

          Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but cell X70 from the spreadsheet for GW37 says Brunt : 0.0 % 🙁

          https://fpldiscovery.wordpress.com/2015/05/16/gw-37-transfers-and-team-selection-2/

          1. HVT
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Omg!
            No one in Top 10k owns Brunt!
            Scandalous I tell you!
            🙂

  15. Marknlard
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    I can do Skrtel and Austin to Kolarov and Remy. Would leave 0.0 in the bank so can't afford any price changes. Does this sound like a good punt?

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure on remy mate?

      1. Marknlard
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Is that because you don't think he'll start or just that he won't score?

        1. HVT
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Both!
          You think he might give Drogs a games for there's rumours about Costa.
          I'd like my punt nailed personally but I could be wrong

          1. Marknlard
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Fair comment. I'm just bereft of Chelsea apart from Terry and would need a couple of point hits to get Hazard in again.

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      No. Gomis, imo

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Silva > Cazorla 🙁 at the moment and not looking great based on yesterday's performance.

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Hmmm. I don't agree about yesterday's performance. 🙂

    3. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Costa could posisbly play

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      sorry, not for me

    5. Marknlard
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers all, a conclusive no.

  16. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    That Transfer News about Crystal Palace’s best players got me thinking about Jason Puncheon.

    Currently sitting on 125 points, the 6.0 priced Midfielder just 6 points short of beating last season's 131 pts (highest). The season before he got 110 pts. This shows that he's a steady source of points - if given the right minutes - arguably flying under the radar. And he achieved this feat despite the breakthrough season of Bolasie (129 points - similar minutes; I doubt he'll be priced 5.5 again next year) and the return of Zaha (why must I mention him?).

    In short I think he's a very reliable source of points in FPL and given the high possibility of inflating prices next season, he could be our guy for the elusive 4th midfield slot. Just saying.

    1. Enzo the Baker
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah but I think his scores are far too spaced out, even if in a good system under Pardew his returns are something like 12, blank, blank, blank, 12, blank, blank (repeat)

      Just enough for an owner to bench / transfer out at the wrong time

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Point taken. But we had the same situation with Siggy - almost at least. Very attacking and on some set pieces. But iagine him playing in such system under Pardew from the start - I would be tempted. Hopefully fixtures are with CRY for early next season.

    2. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Could you shout any louder do Fpl will hear and slap a 8.5 tag on him!
      😉

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Hey, at least I'm talking a proven FPL asset. Some posters are talking up Callum Wilson and Matt Ritchie despite FPL lurking! 😀

        #justiceforcresswell

        1. Enzo the Baker
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Lessons I've learnt from lurking : FPL towers pays no heed to DZ + preseason as most of the conversation revolves around movie polls and upcoming cricket/hockey comps

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            😀 Good for us!

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Colback stats have caught my eye as future 5th mid 4.7 now 108 points. Would probably never start him but could be my new Boyd

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        ah, Colback. Him and Cork. Very good about 5th spot, not too sure about 4th.

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          5th for sure

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Albrighton says hi again to us 🙂

      2. Enzo the Baker
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Albrighton over Colback if priced at the same ? Or maybe JWP if he is on penos/set pieces/nailed starter

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          From the earlier chat i feel the 4th mid and 3rd striker are key players

          1. Enzo the Baker
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Agreed, and also perhaps the positions that are most likely to clear up 1-2 GWs into the new season

    4. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      yup. but think he will be on alot of radars especially given his end of season form. I foresee him being the 3rd midfielder in the GW1 template.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        3rd is hard to take imo, meaning you'll have cheaper mids in your team (i.e the 5.0s and 4.5s). Unless you go with 2 6.0 mids which is a decent strategy.

        1. Shifty
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          yea meant 3rd in a 6.0-6.0 strategy.

  17. Miro
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Chances of Ivanovic featuring tonight ? #RoseFirstSub :-/

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He starts.
      🙁

  18. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Current team for next week.

    Schmeichel,
    Terry, Skrtel, Schlupp
    Ramsey, Sanchez, Hazard, Cambiasso
    Aguero, Giroud, Kane

    Pantil, Hendo, Duff, PVA

    1.3M and 2 ft's
    Skrtel- Vlaar
    Giroud- Costa?

  19. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone considering a punt on Yaya.?.

  20. HVT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Is this scoring from a rebound in a peno situation (Fpl wise) right or wrong ?
    It seems everyone wins ie the player taking and the gk,
    Is the scenario correct in your opinion or should it be looked at?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Correct.

      And may I request a repeat on Wednesday when Santi faces Panti 😉

    2. mojoindojo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      The majority who do not own either lose.

    3. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Player taking loess two points. I think GK should only be awarded the pen save once the ball has went to touch or cleared the 18 yard line

    4. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I wonder what the success percentage off all penalyy kicks is? Maybe the hit for missing should be more? Personally dont want that, we all get on the pen takers!

  21. coran2123
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    West Ham have 3 league wins in 2015, while Newcastle.. no words necessary.

    Predictions on whether Newcastle will get Hammered one last time? Or is there a tiny bit of fight left in them?

    1. jernej93
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Newcastle will win with 2 goals margin 😉

  22. Kings of Lyon ★
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    0.5 ITB 2FT

    Really need some advice. Both rivals have Benteke one has Silva.

    Schmeichel
    Huth Terry Vlaar
    Sanchez Özil Hazard Cambiasso
    Kane Aguero Giroud

    Skrtel PvA Larsson

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Do you want both Kol?
      Prepared to take a hit?

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Sanchez/Kane > silva/Bentekke may work?

      2. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Not sure I want both tbh. I'm 3 points behind in on league and 20 points ahead in another. Open to suggestions but not overly keen on taking a hit

    2. coran2123
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Depends on whether you're chasing or leading

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        As above 3 points behind in one and 20 clear in snother

        1. coran2123
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Larsson/Giroud > Young/Lukaku? Then bench Cambiasso and play Young

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Sort by attempts? Not sure I want to sell any arsenal which will limit me

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Zaha?

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Milner?

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Ozil to Silva and Larrson to Young

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I wish I done that weeks ago but not bad shout

  23. mojoindojo
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Gomez --> ??. I have 8.1 M and rest of Attack is:

    Haz Sanchez Albrighton Coutinho
    Giroud Benteke Kun

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Young or Mirallas

    2. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      One of palace mids?

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Adam

    4. jernej93
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Leave Gomez, he will be your 5th MID for last game, you will play 3-4-3 ...

      Rather transfer out Coutinho and bring Silva or Willian 🙂

      1. mojoindojo
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Tempting.

    5. mojoindojo

      Thanks for the replies!

  24. FISSH
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    ohhh the punt possibilities for the final gameweek, what are people thinking?

    Cisse, Jelavic, Lukaku, Mata spring to mind

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Cisse, Gomis, Young, Mirallas

      1. FISSH
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Yea Gomis is a good shout too.

    2. jernej93
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Sissoko, Fellaini, Willian, Montero

    3. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Thinking Cisse if confirmed fit

  25. Rabbinton
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Who comes out on top?

    a) Ospina & Cattermole
    b) Panti, Ozil & Graham

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      B

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      a) 6+2?
      b) 2+?+2

      All down to Ozil, any assist or goal from him wins it imo. If i had to lay a tenner on it i would go b

    3. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      the one with 3 players haha

    4. Rabbinton
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Ok, thanks. I'm b so I hope you're right

  26. Tibbs
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Any chance Hazard won't feature today? Matt Philips 1st sub waiting patiently to come on!

    Also to a previous post I captained Aguero by mistake and I will settle for 10pts. Will be hiding behind my seat at the Emirates watching alexis though!

    1. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He wants to play every game I think. Will probably feature

  27. Spencer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Original plan was to do Ramsey -> Gerrard, but after Saturday's dismal performance, I'm not so sure.

    A. Ramsey -> Young
    B. Benteke -> Cisse

    Schmeichel
    Ivanovic / Skrtel / Collins
    Ramsey / Sánchez / Cambiasso / Hazard
    Benteke / Vardy / Agüero

    Ospina / Larsson / Bertrand / van Aanholt

    1. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A

      Why sell Tekkers?
      Have I missed something?

        Probably over thinking, but might he get lass game time because of the cup final? Now Villa are safe, there's no need to risk him.

          After being humiliated 6-1, I can't see Villa putting out a weakened side. They'll need to be full strength and try to win the game to boost confidence for the final. And, the final's 6 days later, plenty of time for rest.

          After that drubbing I'd expect Sherwood will need to try I still some form into that team.
          To do this he certainly needs Bentekke for me Spencer.

    Why will Everton, Swansea, Crystal Palace play attacking in last game? Isn't their season over? They can't reach Europe and they can't be relegated ...

      exactly why they will have some fun!

    Have 2 FTs to use. Already have Vardy, but my preferred option ATM is Moreno > Schlupp/Morgan & Kane > Ulloa. Too much Leicester? Should I spread the risk a bit more?

      Too much Leicester 😀

      Kane > Cisse?
