    Evening folks....need to pick one of the following as captain....tough choice...but any reason not to go for Arnie v a Newcastle team that appear poor on the road?

    Options are

    Vardy
    Arnie kun

      I'd go vardy, definitely not kun after his marathon game yesterday, could make some serious gains if you captian arnie though and he does well

    Good evening all, I've been wondering about this for a while now...

    Can you see Arsene Wenger still being Arsenal manager if he loses the league to Tottenham or Leicester?

    First of all: Arsenal are repeating what they have been doing constantly over the last years - failing miserably at the most important stage of the season, half of the team injured and out of form. And Wenger can be blamed for this, example: Alexis didn't become an average player overnight. It's clearly Wenger's fault. He told before the season that he needs Sanchez to fully recover after he was exhausted and barely trained with the team before the first game of the season. Alexis was expected to be rested for at least 2-3 more weeks.

    Instead, Wenger subbed him on in the second half against West Ham.

    Next of all: every year, Arsene promises a lot of things, says that no signings are needed and the squad is good enough. If Manchester City, United or Chelsea win the league his excuse is easy - they have more money, better depth in squad etc. But seriously, though, what if Leicester or Tottenham win the league? What will be Arsene's excuse then?

    He often doesn't seem to react properly to what is happening on the pitch, making some absurd substitutions (bringing Flamini in when losing with Barca, bringing Elneny when losing at Old Trafford). Maybe he can save this season by winning the FA Cup, although from what I remember no team ever won it 3 times in a row, so it seems very unlikely for Arsenal in that form to do this.

    So let's assume they won't win the FA Cup and lose the league to Leicester/Spurs (which is more than likely) - can and should Arsene be given another chance?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He'll be Arsenal manager until he retires.

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

      I'm going to say no.

    3. The one who has a knock
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I really think he's got the job as long as he wants it. It seems that achieving top 4 every year is enough. They know what they are going to get and what if they punt with someone else and slide down the table? Then where do they turn?
      That being said, I am sick of the guy and would love to see someone who seriously wants a title.

        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe it would be the best idea for him to retire and let the club move on, with a new manager and new ideas. He is almost like an icon and deserves to leave in good fashion, and this season might be the last occasion to do so.

        Arsenal have the money, the tradition and the players to attract the best managers - I wouldn't worry about their fate after losing Wenger if I was an Arsenal fan.

    4. KingNidge
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He pretty much decides his own future.. and i cant see him walking

      1. KingNidge
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Not just yet anyway

        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Me neither, although he should consider retirement imo.

  2. the marXman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    What to do with this lot?
    Butland/Hennessy
    Aldy / wolly / simpson / borthwick / targett
    Mahrez / ozil / Alli / payet / stanislas
    Kane / costa / Aguero
    .1 itb and 2 ft
    That only thing I can see is stanislas to linguard but that seems so borring ... any ideas?

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

    What do you guys think Kane>Costa on a free?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Costa could easily be rested.

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Hiddink said Costa will be rested in one of the next 2 games

      1. Sunkey
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers guys. What do we think of Rashford?

  4. dejarik
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Any point in buying Arnie for Stanislas tonight?

    Arnie is going up, but Stanislas isn't going down. I have Alli (as I assume most people have), and we might get more info tomorrow before the deadline.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Depends how important 0.1 is.

      1. dejarik
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Have 4.4 ITB. Doesn't feel that important. But it feels so good to make a transfer. Especially when it's selling an injured player for a good player in form with a GW30 match.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          If you can handle Alli rested news or similar then why not.

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If you need to save the money.

  5. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Was planning on an Ighalo > Costa punt this GW that news from the presser has upset my plan.

    Whilst Norwich is the easier fixture, surely a rest this weekend makes more sense?

    Might just get Aguero a week earlier and be boring and safe anyway.

  6. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Who to play from Smith, Azpi or Toby!?

  7. ZTF

            Ok thanks

  8. ZTF

    Will Alli play?

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Lets hope not!! LOLZ

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I don't think so - North London Derby next Saturday

      1. ZTF
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        🙁

  9. F_Ivanovic
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Do I need a GK for GW30, and if so, who should I get? Currently have Gomes and Hennessey. Money is pretty much no object for me right now - 6.3m in bank but will be around 4m off the top of my head once I get in Aguero and swap Payet for Siggy.

    I've already used a WC so need to plan for DGW in 34 as well as week 30. Will just be missing a GK in week 30 - i will have one FT but want 2 for 31 so I can DGW 34 plan.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Hart/Elliot

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, thinking Hart. For Hennessey or Gomes? Only worry is if City lose Kompany again I'm really not confident of CS prospects w/o him. Really wish I could get him in for 29 against Villa but getting Aguero and Siggy instead for a 4pt hit already. 8pt hit would be too much

  10. NLB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Payet or Sanchez out this week?

    Extra FT to burn, and I need to rearrange the midfield for GW30.

    A. Payet to Siggy/Arnie or
    B. Sanchez to Silva

    cheers all

    1. The one who has a knock
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'd do A this week and B next week.

  11. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Any advice here lads? 1FT, 1.5M ITB.

    Butland
    Fuchs Bellerin Ward
    Alli Mahrez Barkley (v) Sanchez
    Aguero Vardy (C) Kane

    Bench: Payet, Dawson, Williams, McCarthy.

    Thinking of doing Ward>Van Dijk
    or do you think Daniels is a better option? Last chance for Sanchez.

  12. Richd
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Arnie had 2 shots on target, one was a pen, one was a freak goal that he chested in (albeit showed great strength). I'm still not convinced.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      One was a pen, also, he's on pens.

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        He's behind Bojan potentially.

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

          Bojan doesn't even play

    2. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If Aguero gets two goals from two shots on target, one of which is a penalty, everyone creams themselves and praises him for his clinical ability.

      All about the points returns at the end of the day

    3. Stephen - Robot Daniels
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I would have been happy with 15 across AVL and NEW Anything from now on is a bonus.

      Don't care how they come... Lucky goal, tap in, penalty, studs or a glance off the buttocks...

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        It's mainly aimed at those aiming to get THIS week. I agree it was a great haul, and I was close to getting him myself. Unfortunately, the stats were just too poor.. the downside of stats.

  13. #Swish41
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Hi guys. I am top, but not by much, of each of my 3 mini leagues. I still have a wc and triple captain which is a treat but want to plan for GW 30. Currently 2FT, so have 4FT in effect to get 11 out in GW30:

    BUTLAND begovic
    SIMPSON ALDERWIELD azpi cresswell bellerin
    MAHREZ ALLI ozil payet stanislas
    AGUERO VARDY KANE

    GW28 Begovic > Forster (GW29 Forster has SUN and Stoke are away to Chelsea)
    GW29 Azpi > Man City Def (I need someone nailed, so probably Komapny)
    GW30 Cresswell > DEF (perhaps Bournemouth, who are home to Swansea) and Stanislas (injured) > Siggy/Arnoutavich

    That gets me 11 for GW 30 (along the lines of the below) with no hit. What do you folks think:

    Butland
    Alder Simpson Kompany Francis
    Mahrez Alli Arnoutovich
    Vardy Kane Aguero

    BUT...my one hiccup is all my rivals have Barkley, who has Villa in GW28, so should I ditch the Forster move and play Butland in GW 29 in order to have Barkley for a couple of weeks. Again, would appreciate any thoughts - you will see I have put a lot of thought into this!!

    Cheers in advance folks!!

  14. ZTF

    Silva - Ozil for a FT? Duh?

    1. NLB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'm thinking about bringing Silva in. Has a game GW30 and a DGW at some point.

  15. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    My God why hav I held on to sanchez for so long. Did ozil to sanchez a long time ago and got nothing. All my rivals have ozil and it's killed me. Getting rid b4 Norwich sounds daft but think I have to, right??

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I'm not doing it.

      San(c)hez. I have a feeling. And I've only captained him once this season.

    1. Dynamic Duos

      It's between Arnie and Ozil for me, so out of them Ozil

      1. Jazz!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Ah, Mahrez is meant to be Arnie! Between Arnie and Ozil for me too. Who are you leaning towards?

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Arnie

  18. Lovefootball
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking of buying Arnie, but can't decide for who... Firmino or Payet?

    Who of the 2 will make more points despite the tough fixtures?

    Thanks 🙂

    1) Can I get an objective rating of Arnie last game? I wasn't able to watch..
    2) Based on the above, is there sense in actually buying him now for Newcastle when Stoke have Chelsea and Soton after that?

    1. KingNidge

    @ Arnie buyers this GW: Why now and not last GW? Sure, Newcastle at home this GW is a good fixture but then Chelsea away and Southampton at home aren't the greatest fixtures. If you were going to punt on him, last week was the time to do it. I'd much rather have Siggy for Swans' upcoming fixtures after this week and I don't have room for both a Swansea + Stoke player in midfield.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Wasn't sure on fitness and maybe it was for a hit?

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I get logic for not buying - I would have had a hit so opted against. But just don't think it's worth buying him anymore just because he happened to have a good GW against the worst team in the league

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years

      I'm a wimp, should have got him last gw, happy to get for Ali now and get Eriksen in a few weeks.

    Should I get Arnie or Willian? I know Willian is missing GW 39 but I can still field 11 in GW 30.

      Good move, Bellerin has almost disappointed like Moreno; thought both would have attacking returns.
