Sky Sports Focus – Fantasy Football Scout League Details

As we mentioned yesterday, the Sky Sports Fantasy Football game is now up and running ahead of the 2015/16 campaign.

After winning top spot in the League of Leagues for the past three seasons, we’re looking to defend our crown once again and hope to make it four times running this year.

For those playing the Sky Sports game, we’ve set up an official Fantasy Football Scout league – the name is FFScout and the pin number to join is 8009000.

Last season, we handed over a cool £1,000 to the Fantasy manager who finished at the summit of the Scout league and hope to offer prizes once again this year – which should be incentive enough to assemble a team and get involved.

Over the next few days, we’ll be rolling out Player Price List analysis articles, breaking down the options position by position and offering insight into each player’s potential.

Once the season gets underway, we’ll be bringing you hints and tips in our weekly Friday afternoon “Sky Sports Focus” articles, analysing the market trends and looking at transfer tactics for the Gameweek ahead.

Our regular contributor d1sable will again be at the helm to offer his expert advice – he’ll be looking for yet another top 100 finish after a storming end to the previous campaign.

We’ve set up a new community article to exclusively deal with Sky Sports Fantasy teams. Those looking to get involved with the discussion should click this link.

    Anyone got any tips for clearing minor writer's block?

      Take a break, maybe do some reading of materials (presuming it's your PhD?), go for a walk, listen to some music. When I was writing a novel and reached a dead-end, I just tried not to focus on it. I know that it's different for academic work with a deadline, but if you stare at the page you'll get frustrated and your thoughts will become even more muddled. Go and listen to some Miles Davis outside 😉

        Thanks 😀

        What novels have you written?

        1. Doolittle
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I wrote one when I was 18, then this one 2-3 years ago:
          http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Less-Traveled-John-OConnor-ebook/dp/B00SH6AFDQ

          It has been described as "better than Anna Karenina" by me, and I wouldn't lie about such matters.

          1. Somalion
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Wow, awesome 😀 dabbling a little myself at the moment, would love to get this far!

            1. Doolittle
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Thanks Somalion! What are you writing? It is a great feeling when you reach the end - less great when you read through and decide 70% of it needs changing 😉

              1. Somalion
                • 14 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Added to wish list 🙂 Once I've finished my other reading for the Summer I'll root out that old kindle I have somewhere and give it a shot.

                Kind of a Lord of the Rings/Game of Thrones book. Idea popped into my head during Summer last year, so I dedicate most of my time off from college to writing (and music). Figured I might as well give it a whack now!

                I've been there a couple of months back, it's funny to see how much things change as you go on 🙂

                1. Doolittle
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  Ah nice, fantasy isn't generally my thing (except fantasy football of course), but there's a huge market for that obviously. It's a good time to do it, I actually found that writing just increased my love of reading and strangely aided my studies.

                  Indeed, you find yourself chopping and changing a lot when you read through it - it's like making an FPL team!

                  1. Somalion
                    • 14 Years
                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    Not my sole interest either, but it just popped into my skull. And sure if it ever manages to earn a few bob, that's a success as far as I'm concerned. I'm quite a massive Wodehouse fan, so if I had the opportunity I'd like to do something more in the light, comedic vein as well.

                    I understand what you mean, I find I read much more now, as well as play music more etc. I tend to only watch television if I'm sitting down with the girlfriend and we want a night in, quite fulfilling all things said 😀

          2. Lucy.
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            WOW COOOLLL.

            1. Doolittle
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              If you have a Kindle/iPad, get yourself a copy Lucy! I made it as cheap as possible, sadly not available as a "real" book yet.

              1. Lucy.
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                I'm terrible for reading novels unless I'm on holiday. Research has really sapped away my love of books 🙁

                1. Doolittle
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  Ahh that's a shame, doing an English degree just enhanced mine (working 8-6 sapped it somewhat). Well if you ever have a few hours free, it's not a particularly long read.

                  1. Lucy.
                    • 10 Years
                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    I'll try and remember to check it out 😀

                  2. dribbler
                    • 14 Years
                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    well I've read all 10 Harry Hole books and all 7 Game of Thrones books...why not James O'Connor?

                    1. Doolittle
                      • 11 Years
                      8 years, 10 months ago

                      Or even better, why not John O'Connor? 😉

    2. Ghost Ship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      How do you know it is minor?

      1. Doolittle
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Ahaha my advice is ignore Ghost Ship!

        1. Ghost Ship
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          always the best policy.

        2. Lucy.
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Going to do that too 😉

          (I hope it's minor)

      2. The Light Knight
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        😆

    3. The Light Knight
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Go down the pub
      "That's not very helpful"
      What were you expecting? You want good advice, read Doolittle's comment

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'll reserve that course of action for tomorrow, if it's still happening. It will be my birthday after all 😉

        1. The Light Knight
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Well, if I don't "see" you, happy birthday Lucy

          1. Lucy.
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Thanks 🙂

        2. Doolittle
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Happy birthday for tomorrow Lucy!

          1. Lucy.
            • 10 Years

            Thanks 🙂

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I just write some rubbish, put some words down, let the ideas flow, and then edit/rewrite it later.

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Not sure that's going to work. Ideas need to flow from one another. If I stack it all together at the end, my supervisor will rip this chapter apart in minutes.

    5. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      The night was sultry

      What are you writing about? What do you want to say? Create a character (character makes the plot)?

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        It's historical research so it's more about trying to express the things rushing around my head 😀

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Describe the place, which could bring out the characters?

          1. Doolittle
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            I don't think you read Lucy's reply 😉

    6. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Writing at the moment.

      A bit of exercise is always great for me, but likewise so is an hour of a netflix show. I tend to find the more it is pushed out of my mind, the sooner it improves.

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks!

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

      1. Walk away and let the frustration go
      2. Come back and readdress what you are writing as a whole
      3. Review and/or get clear about the hierarchy of the piece - main aims or propositions, main headings of the argument or case you want/need to make, sub-headings if necessary.
      4. If that doesn't get you set you need to do some more study/research, you just aren't clear enough about what you want to say.

      That's a general recipe without knowing exactly what you are writing. 🙂

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I have point 3. I like what I've planned, it all makes sense and it's all thoroughly researched. That's fine. But then I get to putting it down and I just get stuck.

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          OK, good so far. Try writing it for a student 1 year behind you rather than your tutor then.

        2. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Tried verbalising it? I remember doing that a bit during my thesis, helped me a good deal.

          1. Lucy.
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Ooh ok, I'll try that. Thanks 🙂

            1. Somalion
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Might be worth a shot 🙂

    8. Grumpy Camel
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      start writing a story about your past and then make a different ending

    9. meerlight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I go for a walk, away from traffic. I'm lucky that at home there's countryside and at work there's a bit of a rural loop directly outside the office.

    10. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe I'm mentioning the obvious, but you could tinker with your FPL team?

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        😆

  3. Costa in Wengerland
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Im starting with Bony , i hope ManCity starts with 2 upfront

    1. Ghost Ship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I expect him to start and Aguero maybe to come on as sub. But I'm worried he will have to be transfered out in a week or two and I know I'll need those free trades for other things.

    2. hixen
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      This might actually be a good idea.
      I have also Falcao on my watch list. If someone knows how to make a player explode it's the special one.

    3. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Welcome aboard the Bony Belief Bus..

      1. dribbler
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        it's tempting I must say...but those fixtures?

  4. AriseSirGiggsy
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Why no mention of Sidwell in the budget midfielder article?

    1. Ghost Ship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      no goals in 16 appearances last season?

    2. Shipstontrev
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Easy to forget.

  5. J1F
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Most nailed on Stoke 4.5 defender?

    1. Shipstontrev
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Cameron

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Got dropped for a long period last season.

        1. The Brit.
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          played really well in today's game so he's putting up a good fight for his place.

          1. Shipstontrev
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            This

    2. Demí
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Muniesa i suspect

      1. J1F
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I thought so too, thanks!

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Diaby's cousin.

      3. Ruth_NZ
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Hmmm. I doubt that myself. Pre-season will tell us better I guess.

    3. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Bardsley, I think

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        He can't be 4.5, can he?

        1. Whazza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Wowzers, he is. Coates/Bardsely rotation coming up!

          1. Demí
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Think he was dropped for Cameron in the final 3rd of the season

            1. JK - Cønt ⭐
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              They have GJ now, not sure either of Bardsley or Cameron will play much

              1. Demí
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Yeah true, completely forgot him

                1. dribbler
                  • 14 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  "Yeah true, completely forgot him"...Demi...this is serious...I rely on you 100% every week...please say if your concentration or commitment are wavering because I'll need to hit the panic button!!!!!!!!!!

                  1. Ruth_NZ
                    • 9 Years
                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    Yes, very true. I was lost at the end of season when Demi went missing. My rank plummeted and I developed hives.

            2. Whazza
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Aah cheers

            3. Birds of Prey
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Cameron has some benefit in that he is sometimes an OOP playing mid, not just Def, but neither is nailed.

    4. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't touch any of them as they aren't nailed on. I'd wait and see as the season progresses. Or get Butland.

  6. Judas
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    is it worth the extra £0.5m for PVA?

    1. J1F
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nope

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, imo. 🙂

    3. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Depends if you could use it effectively elsewhere. Still a good option at 5 but I'm still leaning toward Oshea

    4. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I preferred 5.0 Janmaat in that rotation

  7. Jönny
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Any Bournemouth watchers around? Do we think Josh King will be a regular?

    Could be a good 5m option, no? From what I saw in the FA Cup last season (not that much, admittedly) his pace could trouble a few defences...

    1. tomtface
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He did look good, I would definitely consider him at £5m

    2. Shipstontrev
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I think he'll be on the bench to start, and he has a history of injuries, but definitely one to watch. I'm starting with Ritchie.

    Afternoon all. Who'd like a little present from the Horse?

      Depends from which end!!

        There a joke about looking a gift horse in the mouth here...

          Ha maybe.

    5. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Does it come from Corton?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        SKY.

        1. Boris Bodega
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          As in it fell from...?

  10. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    If City sign De Bruyne would you still prefer Silva?

    1. Rafabio
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yup

    2. LOCO ABREU
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      depends on price i guess

    3. Sverdet
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, Silva is a way better fpl player, but it depends on what de bruyne's price tag is.

    4. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Price would be a deciding factor for me.

    5. Jay Jay Okocha
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Highly dependent on price. He's mine at 9

    6. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yer.

  11. Judas
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Bolasie or Cabaye?

    1. Rafabio
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Cabs

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        cab

    2. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Cabaye for me.

    3. Grumpy Camel
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      If Cabaye plays in the double pivot will he still get forward like his last few months at NEW?

      1. Pap Le Cissier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        He was pushed up behind the striker for yhat period. Mainly because we couldn't hit a barn door.

    4. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Cabaye

  12. FootballPhenomenon
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Any ideas for my current squad? The upcoming season is my second in FPL so I'm still a bit lost at times but hoping to improve my point haul significantly this season with your awesome help combined with the Membership!

    Adrián - Boruc
    Ivan - Francis - Koscielny - Turner - Ogbonna
    Cazorla - Haz - Henderson - Downing - Wanyama
    Deeney - Costa - Kane

    Also a quick question: I currently have 0,5M ITB and was wondering if it's worth it in the beginning of the season or should I try to squeeze it in my squad right from the start?

    1. Shipstontrev
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Downing could be leaving, go for Ritchie instead.

      1. Pap Le Cissier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        This. Also I'm not keen on the Wanyama choice

        1. FootballPhenomenon
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Thanks for the tips. Yeah I'm not so sure about Wanyama either but my other choice was Westwood so I guess I could just flip a coin...

    2. Grumpy Camel
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Its a good idea to have a little in the bank as it gives you a little more flexibility to change things up, and lets be honest, that is what we all want after GW1.
      Decent team.

  13. shanebuckz
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Rooney or Costa and what do we think of sterling at City

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Both!
      Costa, if United get another striker, otherwise Rooney.

    2. Sverdet
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Im playing it safe with both, but if I had to chose. Rooney. Mainly because of better fixtures. Unsure if Sterling is nailed, if he is I think he's worth a thought.

      1. shanebuckz
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks if I play both the midfield may be a poor!!

        1. Sverdet
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          not necessarily if you do some budget cut in defence

    Lyon's manager speaks on Lacazette "If a €50-60m bid was tabled, I will no doubt have to prepare for his exit and wish him good luck."

    1. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Well Liverpool do love an overpriced player 😉

      1. Boris Bodega
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I don't know what they are waiting for, is this a stand off between Man Utd and Liverpool (and whoever else wants him)?

        1. Pap Le Cissier
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I think a lot of it is just to drum up interest, both by the agent/club and whichever rag wants a back page headline with little substance

        2. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Arsenal after him as well, as are nearly every team in the world.

          If he says 50-60 million euros, you know it will be 60 million minimum once bidding starts.

      2. Grumpy Camel

          • 12 Years

          Touché

  15. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Best GK pairing?

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      what's your keeper budget?

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'm looking at two 4.5 GKs for rotation.

        1. Sverdet
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Schmeichel and Speroni i think, but I´m going with panti. Great fixtures and saves a lot. Especially important now that fpl gives more BPA for saves.

          1. Pariße
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            I considered Pantilimon as well. The problem is that I don't see any 4.5vers that would rotate too well.

            1. Ruth_NZ
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Butland Schmeichel is OK.

              1. Pariße
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                and I'm on that atm 🙂

    2. ThunderPants
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      fabianski schmeichel

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        haha this is exactly what I've got at the moment.

      2. Birds of Prey
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Fab/Schm is 9.5 and the best value at 4.5 Butland/Speroni or BOU/WAT. gl

        1. ThunderPants
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          palace have a pretty tough opening set of fixtures. butland i expect to be number 1, but he could be rotated with given

    3. meerlight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      lei/stk?

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        yes! this one looks quite good.

  16. tomtface
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Best

  17. tomtface
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Best sub-£8m striker, anyone?

    1. Sverdet
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku, but if you go with sakho you´re saving some useful money

    2. J1F
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Sakho

    3. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Probably Gomiss or Rodriguez, unless Villa buy Adebayor.

    4. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      JRod if all continues in th right direction during pre-season

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        And of course Sakho

    5. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Vardy at 6.0 is a sleeper
      J-rod
      Sakho
      Gomis

      1. Boris Bodega
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Vardy's career ruined by narcolepsy.....

        1. Birds of Prey
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Is there any truth to that?
          Any fatigue I would attribute to work rate not narcolepsy.

    6. Jay Jay Okocha
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Throwing the name Diouf in the ring

  18. Sverdet
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Schmeichel-Speroni i think, but I´m going with panti. Great fixtures and saves a lot. Especially important now that fpl gives more BPA for saves.

  19. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Who would you rather double up on? I'm on A at the moment, with Aguero. Would need to downgrade Lescott to a 4.5 to make C possible. E is possible with no downgrade

    A) Rooney & Mata
    B) Rooney & Depay
    C) Aguero & Sterling
    D) Aguero & Silva
    E) Aguero & Yaya

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      d

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      C sure is tempting

    3. tomtface
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      D for me, but think Depay could be huge

    4. Zizoulicious
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      D if aguero is fit to start the season. I want to see how united line up before maybe going for depay

  20. tomtface
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone think Shane Long is a good punt?

    1. Zizoulicious
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I'm keeping an eye out for him in pre season. Think if he gets game time, he'll be great for the price

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      that's a long punt

    3. LOCO ABREU
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      avoid imo

    4. Shipstontrev
      • 14 Years

    Schmeicel. Hamer

    Darmian. Azpel. Williams jenkinson ward

    Suggestions please maybe spent too much on back line let me know what u think!!.(

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A little too much in the back line. I wouldn't get Azpilicueta as his game time might be limited, also I'm not too sure about Darmian, there are better cheaper players.

  22. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

      Could be gold, if it happens in case Myhill loses his place to him.

  23. LAMB TEA

    Ruddy - Butland
    Ivanovic - Coates - Williams - Francis - Whittaker
    Hazard - Cazorla - Depay/Eriksen/Mata - Ritchie - Redmond (rotate ritchie n redmond)
    Sakho - Aguero - Ulloa

    what u think i need to improve?

    1. 1892
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Strikers

    2. Grumpy Camel
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      agüero no certainty to be ready for GW1 is he? too much of your budget for that kind of risk imo

  24. Theatre_Of_Screams
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    What are people's opinions on Sterling for 9m vs Depay for 8.5m?

    1. shanebuckz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I think depay is a risk with game time I think sterling is nailed on

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Mine is that it's all guesswork until we have a better idea whether Depay will start in GW1.

    3. Demí
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I think Van Gaal will be cautious of Depay's gametime at the start, whereas Sterling seems ready to go imo.

  25. Jay Jay Okocha

    Tinker, tinker, tinker... thoughts on this Kun/Kane/Hazard/Silva draft?

    Azpi, Darmian, 4.5/4.5, 4

  26. Batigol
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    What's the preference here guys? Boruc being the other keeper.

    Stekelenburg and Cresswell
    Adrian and Cedric

    1. J1F
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Adrian / Boruc nice rotation for first few game weeks until WC

      1. Batigol
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        That's what I'm currently on. Was just wanting SOT defensive cover and read a few times lately that Cedric is a bit of a card magnet and not that attacking.

    2. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A

  27. J1F
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    I have 1m to spare, should I upgrade Munisea to a more nailed on Stoke defender? If so then which one is most nailed on?

    Thanks!
