    Current WC... Which changes look necessary?

    De Gea / McCarthy

    Kolarov / Gomez / Bellerin / Cedric / Muniesa

    Yaya / Sanchez / Pedro / Mahrez / Westwood

    Aguero / Wilson / Gomis

      DDG May not play. I'd get Shaw over Bellerin
      Rest is good

      1. Ian Davis
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'm 0.2 off having Cech/Shaw instead of DDG/Bellerin. Might downgrade Muniesa to make it happen.

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Fabianski

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Don't need Bellerin with Kolarov/Gomez/Cedric. Get another 4.5m def and go for Morrison over Westwood.

            Nope

              You need one!

      Download Movie Box (iOS) or Show Box (Android). If you have a windows phone; tough, your fault for choosing one.

      Probably the best app you'll ever download. More movies, TV shows etc. than Netflix. Possibly anything you can imagine. And it's free. 100% FREE!

      If you have a smart TV you can stream it from your phone/tablet to your TV too. If you're on iOS you'll need an Apple TV mind, but it's well worth the £50 investment for any TV show or movie you'll ever want to watch.

    I'm sure its been asked before but Romero or DDG no 1?

    1. Ian Davis
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      DDG if LVG has any sense..

        • 10 Years

          8 years, 7 months ago

          yep...the thing is I saw an article where it said the deal wen through ( I thought UEFA decided it was good or whatever), but forgot to check the date of that article 🙂

      2. Pariße

  5. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Put right to the bottom:
    How does my team look? Should I be confident with it? 0FT and 2.4 mill in the bank.

    Schmeichel Hennessey
    Azpil Bellerin Huth Francis Targett
    Sanchez Yaya Mane Mahrez Fletcher
    Aguero Benteke Wilson

    Don't know whether I need to take a hit or not? How do I make it better?

    1. RyanC
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good. No hit needed.

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks zat! Does depend on bentekes injury though

  6. DVassell
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Which would you prefer?

    A) Yaya, Sterling, Milner, Azpil, Cedric, Schlupp, Oxford, Myhill, Butland

    Or

    B) Sanchez, Silva, Sinclair, Kolarov, Shaw, Ward, Targett, Courtois, McCarthy

    1. goriuanx

      B has lord Aleks, simple

    4. Marstar

  7. RyanC
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Usually get the compulsive urge to WC around this stage of the season.

    However, I'm more than happy with my team without a WC. I think.

    Sch/Sch
    Kolarov Koscielny Cedric Martin Targett
    Sanchez Silva Pedro Mahrez (Bentaleb)
    Aguero Gomis Wilson

    I'm right to hold my WC, right? Think I'll just downgrade Kosc to free up funds. Maybe.

    1. BlzE_94
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      What team would you even wildcard to?

      1. RyanC
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'll take that as a "I'm right to hold my WC".

        😉

        1. BlzE_94
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yup, I've got the same template front 7 too.

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I also get a compulsive urge to WC about now... Pity i have to wait until January 😀

      1. RyanC
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        My sympathies. If I could gift you one this week you'd be more than welcome to it!

    3. DVassell
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      That is basically a WC team- what use is a WC when you have something like that!? I've got that front 7 plus Kolarov, but I wildcarded to get there.

      Have you taken lots of hits?

      1. RyanC
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        One -4. 🙂

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nah, you're missing Butland, Shaw, Gomez, Ayew, Benteke and Diouf

  8. suddenorgan
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Missed the Liverpool meltdown against West Ham but is there any consensus on whether Gomez's place is safe? Noticed he was subbed off.

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He was part at fault for the first goal. He played alright though. Moreno was good again when he came on

      1. suddenorgan
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers, did Moreno come into left midfield to begin with?

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yep

      2. copps
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        i think rodgers rates moreno more as a LM, he's a liability defendng. i reckon gomex will keep his place.

        1. suddenorgan
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Thanks guys.. I won't be playing him this gameweek anyway so gives a bit of time to assess

  9. Jazz!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Do we think Jenkinson will start next game?

    First game, he was out due to loan terms of not being able to play his parent club vs Arsenal and West Ham came away with a convincing 2-0 win at the Emirates.

    He was back for the home fixtures against Leicester and Bournemouth in which they lost both. He also conceded a red card in the latter game.

    He was banned again for the away fixture against Liverpool; a defence that WAS yet to concede and came away with another convincing win of 3-0.

    So West Ham seem better without him? I have him in my team and plan on playing him next GW.

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He should be straight back in

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You know it's been a shite deadline day when you get questions like this 😛

    2. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah your observations do make sense but I'd say that we're all expecting Jenkinson to start the next game.

  10. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Good to save guys?

    Myhill
    Cedric Toby Richards
    Sanchez Yaya Mane Ayew
    Tekkers Aguero Diouf

    McCarthy Darmian Surman Gomez

    1. BlzE_94
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Awful.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        This one sour.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Save for now.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeh cheers m8, thinking Mane out the next Gwk for Coutinho and maybe Cedric/Toby downgrade.

    3. Sergeant Garcia
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not sold on a Tottenham defender, but then again they held a clean sheet and Sunderland upcoming, so safe 🙂

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeh he will be the downgrade to Bou/Wat Def.

  11. Sergeant Garcia
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Probably going Depay > Payet, good move?

  12. John t penguin
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Can premier teams still sell to leagues where windows are still open

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

  13. racerx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Does FIFA translate to reality?
    Depay and Martial part of my awesome FIFA 15 team, Martial is a beast.

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      yep 100%

  14. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Quick Poll out of interest

    How many people had heard of Anthony Martial previous to United paying £36 million for him?

    1. Miami Monkey
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      me because of FIFA

    2. GREENDREAMS11
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nope

    3. John t penguin
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah , but only for the two days previous to them paying

    4. Go Loons
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I had not.

    5. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not me

    6. GREENDREAMS11
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Also, if he had signed for Newcastle they would have got him for about £15 million no doubt and nobody would care 1 iota

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Totally but at least it amuses us

    7. The Pep Revolution
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nope, never heard of him prior to this week.

    8. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not me, but then I don't follow European football very closely and have never heard of the majority of players coming in

    9. Sergeant Garcia
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nope

    10. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years

      Never

    11. copps
      • 12 Years

      i always rated him

    12. racerx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yup, FIFA plus some Ligue 1 I've seen. The kid can fly. If he and Depay can coordinate they can cause trouble.

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Depay needs to co-ordinate with his own feet before thinking about anyone else. 😉

      2. The Pep Revolution
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Trouble for the mid table teams?

        Sorry that was unnecessary.

    13. MaRooney 5
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      o/
      Played some games in UCL last season
      Listed top 15 young talent in a recent france football article (Depay was 1st)

    14. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, but I knew Idrissa Gueye, Jordan Amavi and Jordan Veretout also, who came from the same league and played for lesser teams.

      Never seen Papy Djilobodji play though.

    15. GREENDREAMS11
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Your answer looks like no-one knew about this wonder kid unless they were playing Fifa, I must ask Van Gaal if he has a 360 or an X- Box 1. lol

    16. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Me because FIFA. He is a beast there in career mode

  15. The Pep Revolution
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I have to say Im surprised at the lack of transfer activity among some of the top clubs this summer. Arsenal were a couple of signings to being real contenders for the league. Chelsea started the league poorly so many were thinking a reaction in the transfer window was to come but no. Surprising really.

    1. GREENDREAMS11
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      yeah, seems really strange

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      The people at Chelsea have learnt better than to knee jerk. A lesson many on here could learn.

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        wasnt Falcao a bit of that?

      2. The Pep Revolution
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Would it have been knee jerking though? Standing still after winning the league is not good. Chelsea look to have made the same mistakes as City after winning the league in 2013/2014. It may be hard for them to overcome those mistakes this season.

  16. JAC THE CAT
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Is Brunt the most nailed on WBA defender?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      That would be Dawson

    2. Tiamani Warrior
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      think so but classified as a mid right? I wonder why so much upheaval in their defence when they kept 15/16 cleanies last season

      1. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Pulis aims for 38 clean sheet and 0 goals per season.

        1. Tiamani Warrior
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          think Im going to punt on evans to save 0.2

          1. Egg noodle
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I've got Olsson myself, and I reckon I'm in trouble 😀

            1. Tiamani Warrior
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              nice while it lasted though aye - you have him for the bonus points the other week?

    3. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I like this question

    4. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Probably, but my bet is Evans out of the fantasy defenders.

  17. Random Name
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Actually - what am i thinking...

    I'm sticking with Hazard. He'd haunt me if i sold him

    1. BlzE_94
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Your loss

    2. copps
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      he's tough to sell but i've made the mistake of holding onto players out of form too long. his price will drop too. sanchez or silva is better imo

  18. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Was the reason Chelsea signed Hector in getting back at Palace for beating them, because they were the second team interested? After signing Chelsea immediately loaned out a 23 year old, doesn't make too much sense.

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      The first option would make no economic sense tho, so no

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        ''Economic sense'' is a rare thing in football transfer market, especially on the deadline day 🙂

    2. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years

      Very likely. Chelsea often sign players wanted by their rivals, then loan them out to teams they do not consider to be rivals and don't allow them to play against their parent team (Chelsea). If there was a proper Fair Play Policy, this sort of thing would not be allowed.

    What's your honest take on Ritchie, lads?

    Good fixtures coming up and I have him in my team - I feel like keeping him but don't know for sure.

      if you dont have a Bourne player then I would say yeah, him or Wilson/Francis

    *Opinions*

    Would you swap Ozil and Hazard for Ayew and Pedro or Sancez and Ayew?

    p.s. im a disgruntled Arsenal fan but still want at least one arsenal player in my team

      Sanchez will score soon .
      Fixtures are looking better
      I'll only switch to another Pedro when his fixtures ease up

    please give me suggestions, i am currently playing my wild card after disappointing first 4 weeks. My current team after playing wild card is
    Fabianski Butland
    Darmian Monreal Karalov Francis Evans
    Mahrez Toure Redmond Ayew Pedro
    Gomis Wilson Aquero
    1m in bankand thinking about wilson -> Diouf

    1. Roberto Baggio

      Keep Wilson
      Upgrade defence.
      I don't like monreal pick. I'll go for Richards
      You can then upgrade Evans
