    Ran another Cup qualification score for teams 3001-6000 in the FFS League.
    60 was the latest score compared to 62 for the 1st 3000.

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hmm. Hope 72 is safe. Ighalo blank would greatly help

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Should be ok. Depends on Ozil autosubs too.

        1. Swan - Villa Proud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          True. Lots of jammy subs coming in. PVA Winjialdm

      2. SomewhatPleasing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Same

    2. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      An Ighalo goal should see me qualify methinks

    3. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      can I enter?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Read the article 🙂

    4. Kevtheotter
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      80 Should have me safe i reckon 🙂

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        For sure.

      So, basically, anyone who wasn't loaded up with cheap Bournemouth players or captained Agüero is out.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        If 1020 out of that 6000 entered ranging to 200K, 60 would be a bare minimum.
        You could probably get away with captain Kane, Aguero, KDB and 2 CS out of 4 making 54 from that lot.

        1. Diva
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Don't forget Ighalo is still to play. He could surpass those KDB points for his owners.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            I'll run a quick script for Ighalo owners in that 6000 now.

        2. Rusty Nail
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Lots of disappointed people it looks like pretty decent cut off score

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Depends on the quality entered. Top 6000 or 200K is pretty top end.

  2. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    alright DZ, i need to burn a FT. what to do?

    Butland / Hennessey
    Ward / Simpson / Alderweireld / Bellerin / Moreno
    Payet / KDB / Ozil / Alli / Mahrez
    Kane / Lukaku / Aguero

    2 FT 0.1 ITB

    1. Akeem
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      downgrade Toby to Dier IMO

      1. Rusty Nail
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Dont like this move at all

      2. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Only would do this move if freeing up funds for Sanchez

      3. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        no chance

      4. Akeem
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        In the last 7 GW's:

        Dier: 28 pts
        Alderweireld: 26 pts

        Price:
        Dier: 5.3m
        Alderweireld: 6.2m

        Dier better value IMO

        1. Francescoli
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          he's also a yellow card magnet and i have plenty of value tied up in toby as i've had him from the start of the season.

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Replace Toby and Ward with G Johnson and Dann and we have identical teams. So I like this team 🙂

      Hennessey->Elliot ?

    3. Diva
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Wait. The cup replays could make your decision for you.

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        true. when do we know the outcome diva?

        1. Diva
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Middle of this week.

    4. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hennessey > Elliott perhaps. We are in similar boats.

    5. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Very similar team.

      I brought in jagielka for their nice run

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        i'm really tempted by jagielka. have been working on a few combinations to get him in. at this stage i'd have to downgrade Bellerin to do it. not sure if i'm ready to do that yet. who did you transfer him in for?

        1. Francescoli
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          i'm guessing kolorov yea?

    6. Oz lotto
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Get rid of Mahrez! tough fixtures coming up and his form has dipped

  3. Akeem
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Would appreciate your input

    My team:

    ––––––––––––––– DDG –– McCarthy ––––––––––––––

    –– Bellerin –– Dier –– Ward –– J.Olsson – R. Bennett ––

    ––––– Özil ––– Payet -–– Barkley –– Mahrez –– Alli ––––

    ––––––––– Aguero –––– Kane –––– Lukaku ––––––––––

    1 FT 1.6 ITB

    my options:

    A) R.Bennett –––> Daniels
    B) McCarthy –––> Other playing keeper
    C) Save FT
    D) Other move ?

    1. Egg Fried Reus
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I would save or do A imo

      1. Akeem
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        cheers

  4. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Hennessey > Elliot a good transfer considering the potential DGW? Other keeper is Myhill.

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yep if nothing else pressing. But wait til after fa cup replays in case of injuries

      1. JasonG123
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks.

      It's like getting Barry as a 5th mid.

      1. SomewhatPleasing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I had him for weeks, subbed on once for 8 points (I think). Result

        1. Swan - Villa Proud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          The game FPL screwed Deulofeu I bet 🙂

          1. SomewhatPleasing
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Thats the one. But in fairness to myself I was playing Deul too. Can't remember who Barry came on for.

            1. Swan - Villa Proud
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Barkley I believe. I had Deulo at that time too. Got some points over 6 weeks but he should have had at least 10 more during that time

        2. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I had the same luck with Barry.....got him for the 8 the only time I needed him

          1. SomewhatPleasing
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            And didn't that feel good. 2 pointer every week until the week you needed him. Sublime skill too, controlling it with the tip of his studs, amazing talent 🙂

      2. JasonG123
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I was actually considering that as well for Wanyama...

    3. Diva
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I would hold off doing that just yet.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I would be interested in picking your brains regarding a GK at some point over the week but too busy just now.

      2. JasonG123
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        2FTs and worried about both my keepers losing their spots.

        1. Diva
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          But if you want a DGW keeper you need to know which side will have a DGW first. 🙂

          1. Swan - Villa Proud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            That's why I feel Elliot works. If he gets a DGW great but if not you still have a 4.0 keeper nailed on and getting save points. Great backup

            1. Diva
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              That's true.

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

          im actually considering Hennessey> Pickford with no ITB.

    4. Oz lotto
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I considered doing Myhill --> Elliot but did Kasper instead... in the meantime looks ok but when is Krul back?

      1. JasonG123
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah might get Kasper even though I have Simpson. No other options at that price.

  5. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    If I got a dog I would call it Diva

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      My mate has a cat named Diva. Acts like it too

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Aren't all cats like that?

        1. Swan - Villa Proud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah good point

      2. Oz lotto
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I hate cats

        1. Swan - Villa Proud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Ditto. Love dogs though. Will get on once my girls are a bit older

        2. SomewhatPleasing
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Oh you horrid man, you made my cat flinch

          1. Oz lotto
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            sorry mate

            1. SomewhatPleasing
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              It's ok, I pacified him by feeding him a goldfish called Diva

    2. SomewhatPleasing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I knew a Diva who was a dog

    3. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I might buy a goldfish and call it Diva that would confuse maters.

  6. Waterboyd
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Butland (Hennessey)
    Williams Simpson Walker (Cresswell Ward)
    Alli Mahrez KDB Payet (Ozil)
    Kane Aguero Ighalo

    2FT 0ITB

    Hennessy -> Elliot if Ozil and Ighalo are fine?

    1. Diva
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Why Elliot?

      1. Waterboyd
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Like Jason said, potential DGW. And I don't have any glaring problems which needs replacing.

        1. Diva
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          As long as you don't mind if he doesn't get a C1C in the end, I can see the sense in moving away from having two Palace players at the back.

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Solid team. With nothing glaring and 0 ITB I like the Elliot move

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

    What are we basing these potential DGW from?

    1. SomewhatPleasing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Cup fixtures and available slots

    2. Diva
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      The C1C Final will create a double for 2-4 teams, depending on which sides are in it.

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

    Well, this has been my best GW in my history of playing the game.

    Much needed after 21 weeks of watching my team consistently underperform.

    99 points all out, thanks to the legend known as Charlie Daniels.

    1. Diva
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Well done Steve. Can you remove the first part of your name now?

      1. Sadio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        JubilantSteve just doesn't have the same ring to it though 😉

        1. Diva
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          😀

    2. SomewhatPleasing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Well played Sir.
      Fabulous gameweek and a great OR jump.

    3. Rusty Nail
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Wow huge score whats your gameweek rank

      1. Rusty Nail
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        nvm 155 thats sick tough season for you

        1. Sadio
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yea, I've made some poor decisions this season so if I'm being honest I deserve the rank I'm at. Hope this great GW sparks a resurgence and I can keep chasing down the leader in my main ML.

    4. Oz lotto
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      wow.. very nice.

      1. Sadio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Still pinching myself, one of those weeks where everything just sort of just worked out superbly.

    5. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Fantastic.

    6. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I nearly took Daniels, then I noticed smith was .4 less so i changed my mind. I would've given me a 90+ score too. So i can imagine how pleased you must be. Have a great week 🙂

  9. Oz lotto
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Ok time to roll the dice a little....
    what would you do?

    Kasper-Hen

    Walker Cresswell Kosc Simpson Nyom
    KdB Alli Ozil Arnie Mahrez
    Kaks Kun Kane

    0.5 ITB 2FT...

    A) Walker, Mahrez --> Targett, Payet
    B) Walker, Mahrez --> Targett, Wijnaldum
    C) Mahrez, Arnie --> Payet, Gosling
    D) Walker, Cresswell --> Baines and Targett

    Cheers lads!

    1. Oz lotto
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      add in E) Walker, Mahrez --> Baines, Gosling

      1. Rusty Nail
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Would lose arni and alli before mahrez

        1. Oz lotto
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Mahrez has just become... "blah" to me...

          although losing Alli might be an idea. he hasn't done too much since I got him

          1. Rusty Nail
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Im booting Alli and keeping Mahrez

            1. Oz lotto
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              I could gradually do both anyway... Walker, Alli --> Baines and Gos

    2. Akeem
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Walker, Arnie --> Baines + 5th mid

      1. Oz lotto
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I don't see the appeal of losing Arnie over Mahrez though..

        Mahrez - STO, LIV, mci, ars, NOR, WBA
        Arnie - lei, mun, EVE, bou, AVL, NEW

        1. Akeem
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I'd still lose Mahrez, just after the next 2 home games

          1. Oz lotto
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            hmmm might be a good plan. thanks for your thoughts.

            walker out is one thing I'm confident on. Rotation risk in the good games and spurs seem to find a way to concede one in easy fixtures anyway

        2. Rusty Nail

          8 years, 3 months ago

          Look a bit further after Arsenal leicesters fixtures are amazing Mahrez to outscore arni till end of season anyhow

          1. Oz lotto
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers mate. I'll wait for cup games anyway. injuries come thick and fast at this time anyway

  10. The Fantastic Mr Fox
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Is the recend Soton defensive turnaround bcos of the new formation, fixtures or the return of King Forster? I'd like to think its the GK, but I haven't watched the games

    1. Oz lotto
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      and change of formation I think... wing backs and the coming of Targett (hopefully he stays) haha

    2. Rusty Nail
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Formation more than anything hardly give up any chances in last two but fixtures turn south

    3. Diva
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Haven't looked into it, but Forster probably helps given Stekelenberg's poor save percentage this season (last time I looked).

    4. Sadio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Little bit of everything I think. Their attack still isn't firing on all cylinders, but clearly the new formation and the return of Forster has strengthened them at the back.

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Austin should help there

      2. Sadio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Also, they've played against declining Watford and a toothless West Brom. Their game against United this week will be a better barometer.

        1. Rusty Nail
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          They kept out Arsenal as well 3 consecutive cleanies at home

    5. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      5 at the back has really worked for them. Cannot wait to see how Austin gets on

    6. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Forster's return, Pelle's impending return, Austin's arrival.. looks like they might be in for a revival of fortunes

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Pellets impending exit from what I've read.

        1. Rusty Nail
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah he aint great Long and Austin are better would actually make a nice front two

        2. The Fantastic Mr Fox
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          didn't know that was going on

    Can someone please help explain for me what they mean by this midweek cup replay will tell us? Possible DGW?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely nothing really.
      They are FA Cup replays.
      The C1C semi 2nd legs will tell us the DGW teams and blank teams for GW27.

    2. Diva
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A quarter of the Premier League has FA Cup replays this week and if a player is injured in one of those matches it could take them out of contention to play next weekend.

    3. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Just that loads of players will be injured midweek or will be rested next weekend

    How wise is Kane --> Aguero? I can do it in 1FT

    I could also do Ighalo --> Aguero for -4pts (involves downgrading Ozil to 7.0 max), but Ighalo's fixtures aren't at all bad, and Kane's aren't great... and kinda means I'm balls deep in strikers... but at least they all take pens....???

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I feel Aguero is a must if fit. But Ighalo is great value.

  13. Egg Fried Reus
    • 9 Years

    Myhill & Dann -> ? & ?

    Got £10.3m to play with, really stumped with this one, looking at fixtures no team really stands out for me.

    1. Rusty Nail
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Mark Viduka

    2. Akeem
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Howard & Daniels ?

  14. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Who wins my H2H?

    A) Ighalo, Williams, Nyom
    B) 4 points

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A by far

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        What if it finish's 2-1 Watford with Nyom + Williams YC and Ighalo blank? 😛

    2. Rusty Nail
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A easy B would need some serious luck to win that

    3. Oz lotto
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A easily mate. only way for that to fail would be for a 2-2 shootout and none of them involved in any goal. then it would be a draw.

  15. Rusty Nail
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    1 Ighalo goal or assist tomorrow nothing more non owner

    1. SomewhatPleasing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Less would be good - I'm all out

    2. Jape
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A hatrick or brace with Watford CS would be lovely!

      1. SomewhatPleasing

    5297 Ozil autosubs

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Do you know the average auto-sub score coming on for Ozil or would that exceed your magic powers?

      I'm wondering if I should be happy with Surman's 3 points.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I also got 3 from Stanislas...

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Is that good though?

          What if the average auto-sub score coming on for Ozil is 4+ we would of been better of if Ozil playerd 🙁

      2. Eden Azzzar

        1. OPTA FPL
          • 12 Years

          Smalling + Bellerin + Johnson = 38% = 3k8 sub players got at least

            • 14 Years

            Placement on the bench is more important.

            All we need now is someone to find the average "first sub" score 😆

            It is possible, but time consuming.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Pretty easy. Just need to place a score for each player then the rest is simple.

        5. Kevtheotter
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Based on this can we figure out an average? Cheers for all the numbers

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            You can do their score x their ownership.
            Add all totals then divide by total.
            This is just for the FFS Top 6000 on whatever the balance is.

    2. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Any chance at advancing on 66 ?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Depends on the quality of entrants.
        Wouldn't bet on it especially if Ighalo does well.

        1. Rusty Nail
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Oh really damn scratch my comment thought that was fine tough crowd it seems

        2. Acquafresca
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          If Ighalo blanks I have a shot.

          1. Rusty Nail
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            I dont own but want him to score or assist but not haul weird one

      2. Rusty Nail
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah id say comfortably

  17. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Why are people transferring out lukaku? Shouldn't it be the other way round for his easy fixtures?

    1. Rusty Nail
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah the top rankers are getting nervous and panicking making rash decisions. Then when Lukaku hauls in the next two they will be looking him back in

    2. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Panic to get Aguero probably.

      1. Rusty Nail
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        The trick is too have both

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years

      I would have thought so, he's captain material this week

  19. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Should I prioritize getting in Aguero or Removing Mahrez? My:

    Mid: Silva, Ozil, Mahrez, Payet, Stanislas
    Fwd: Kane, Lukaku, Ighalo

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero sir.

        For Whom?

        1. Acquafresca
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Has to be Ighalo IMO, if you can afford it.

    1. Puyol Pants Up

      Next season I believe.

      1. Rusty Nail

        Haha

  21. Acquafresca
    • 12 Years

    If an opponent played AOA with Ozil, does he get a sub or not?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      he gets a sub, AOA Wasted

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Can the sub be a defender?

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          yeah

          1. Acquafresca
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers Moin. So defender comes in and they lose AOA chip?

            Lovely.

          1. Acquafresca
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Now the question is what to do with Mahrez? Do we hold and hope he gets back his form?

            Hard fixs and off pens now.

            1. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              we are assuming he is off peno's...he is due a rest me thinks. looked tired when coming off...fixtures still looks ok GW 27->...

              1. Acquafresca
                • 12 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                I'm 99.9% sure that after 2 in 2 misses Vardy will be taking them here on out.

                My worry is that Mahrez was playing really deep and like you said he looks tired..

                  Wijn an option, but he does buggerall away from home and has no setpieces as far as I know.

                  1. Acquafresca
                    • 12 Years
                    8 years, 3 months ago

                    I was thinking Barkley perhaps. 3 home games in next 4.

                    Or Payet (don't have him yet).

                    1. Acquafresca
                      • 12 Years
                      8 years, 3 months ago

                      Or could always hold and wait it out. Not sure that's a good idea though.

                      1. Acquafresca

                        8 years, 3 months ago

                        On the other hand Michu burned me that season I sold him when he lost form and scored 2 against Arsenal.

                        ouch. Kdb is a bigger issue for me.

                        8 years, 3 months ago

                        Selling then? For who?

                • 8 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                Yeah probably wont play against spurs in cup hope loads sell him then he rips it up against stoke

            2. Rusty Nail
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Next two are decent two toughies after then lovely ones for a while could go either way im holding for now

              1. Acquafresca
                • 12 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                STO and LIV at home are hardly easy fixtures the way LEI are playing. No more gung-ho attack.

                2 goals scored in their last 5 and next 5 fixtures even thougher.

  22. Eden Azzzar

    I've managed to do it again, 2 clean sheets on my bench, average bench points for me this season is 19

    1. Rusty Nail
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Thats insanely high are you sure your not benching your better players

      1. Eden Azzzar
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Played Toby and lloris benched Johnson and butland 8 points Johnson 7 points butters

        1. Acquafresca
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Stop doubling up and hedge your bets.

    Anyone care to explain how a DGW 25 can happen (and the possible involved teams)?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      DGW 25 won't happen

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Because?

        1. Acquafresca
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Very unlikely

          1. minus-four
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            But what prompted all the talk of a DGW 25?

            1. Acquafresca
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              It was a possibility. Now looks unlikely.

              1. Desertbug

                • 12 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                Is there some news that came out that makes it look unlikely? Just curious.

            2. Desertbug

              The Capital One Cup Finalists will be known before GW24 is played. The final is in GW27. Moving the GW27 fixtures for those teams up to fall into GW25 could be done if they didn't want to move them back into open dates later in the season. Open dates later in the season would then be better preserved for rescheduling matches that have to be rescheduled due to FA Cup.

              1. Rusty Nail
                • 8 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                You will be hoping Everton are in it anyhow

                1. Desertbug
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  8 years, 3 months ago

                  Yeah, obviously.
                  Everton would end up with a DGW somewhere, if either they OR Liverpool end up in the final, because the GW27 match scheduled was Liverpool/Everton. If those two end up in final, it would be only that one match that would need to be resched, and we only get the two teams that have a DGW somewhere.

    KdB & Ighalo > Barko & Lukaku for free?

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      SWA, NEW, sto, WBA......gotta get some of that?

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Looking at Barkley as well. Own Lukaku already. 3 of 4 home games.

    Morning gents - Is it time to get rid of Mahrez ? AW said Ozil would make chelsea game right ?

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Correct about Ozil.

      Mahrez is 50/50. Probably off PKs and hard fixtures coming up.

      1. French Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        @Acqua Currently on Ozil Ramsey Payet Mahrez (Wanyama) - Considering Mahrez to Alli and/or Ramsey to Barkley/Wijaldum/Firmino.
        Thoughts? got 2FTs

        1. Acquafresca
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Ramsey to Barkley looks good.

          Not certain about Mahrez too either Wij or Firmino, both look pretty hot and cold FPL-wise.

        Marhez injured?? when?

        1. French Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          50/50 as in hold or get rid is what acqua meant imo

        2. Acquafresca
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I mean 50/50 to sell.

          (-)
          -Form has been bad last 4-5.
          -Off PKs (missed last 2)
          -LEI have stopped scoring
          -Hard fixtures

          (+)
          -Good value

          1. OPTA FPL
            • 12 Years

            ah

            1. Acquafresca
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Thoughts?

              Keeping or selling? Will probably lose 0.3 - 0.5 in value over the next weeks or so.

      Lol imagine Rodgers watching that the bit about united tho not cool ended video

  27. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Thinking I might bring Baines in this week.

    Worth it to transfer out one of Smalling or Bellerin?

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      From experience playing FPL, I'd probably save a transfer, both after a good and bad week.

      Then you'll have 2 FTs to reassess. NEW are in good form, I doubt Baines keeps a CS

      1. Sadio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yea, it's either save or get Baines in. Save seems the sensible option in this instance.

  28. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    If Ighalo gets any returns this week I would (C) him over Aguero at home to Newcastle.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      will you get his points this week from gw 22 then?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        That's how it works right?

    2. Alittude
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      If he scores I might keep him over Kane, will be a tough nugget.

    Smalling to Simpson and not Daniels as originally planned really leaves a burning pain in my rectum that won't go away.
