    Naismith goal

    Kind of predictable really

      Nice of Everton to let him play against parent club

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil

        7 years, 7 months ago

        Wrong account there Optimus.

  2. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    McAuley/Evans or Lovren?

    1. Scholes Balls
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Evans

    2. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Evans.

    Got ibra for 11.5
    SP - 11.7
    Still not decided whether to keep him
    Should I ditch him today on Wc and expect him to drop again this week and get him for 11.7 in case I want him??

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      What's the point?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Still own him or spend 0.2 more elsewhere.

      2. Sid07
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        If I decide to ditch him later on I lose 0.1 today??

        1. kalmoffit
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          You're effectively losing -1 if you keep him and he drops. If you sell and buy back at his lower price you're still losing .1 but you've increased his selling price.

          1. Sid07
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            That's why planning to ditch him on wc and hoping he drops again so I break even

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, no need to take the drop if on wildcard.

  4. Team Cruel

    Walker, Hazard, Lukaku > Klavan, Xhaka, Okazaki -12?

    1. Cevap
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I would keep Walker but do the other 2 for -8

    2. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I did this on WC

        giggity

      2. HurriKane

  11. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years

    There's the Cahill goal I waited for 5 weeks for 🙄

  12. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    5 attempts by Zlatan Ibrahimovic was more than any forward. The United striker also led the way for touches in the box (nine) and was joint-top for efforts in the area (three) d

    This is why I think it's unwise to sell

    Three very, very similar goals. All just over the goal line.

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

      Yeah, three goals but the net hasn't been touched 😀

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. dashdriver

      No, but it does kill manhood.

      Hot topic

  19. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Chelsea now have only kept 2 cleanies in their last 25 matches.....Sanchez essential this weekend now

  20. Yellin' in my Ear
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Thibk this will be my wildcard more or less, thoughts would be welcome in the last couple of pieces:

    Cech/Pickford
    Coleman/Holebas/Walker/Amat/JEvans
    Sanchez/Capoue/Antonio/Sterling/....
    Kun/Luk/...

    For the blanks would you rather:
    A)Deeney and Snodgrass, rotating them and Capoue as appropriate +£1.1m in the bank
    B) Firminho and Diomande (perma bench) +£0.6m ITB
    C)Other

    Could always downgrade Sterling in future to upgrade elsewhere but for time being I'm happy with the double up.

    Thank

    Sturridge injured or rested for Hull?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I would say he doesn't have the best relationship with Klopp

      1. BB-8
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Not even on the bench. Must be bad

  23. camarozz

    Evening ppl.
    WC active. This is wat of come up with. 343 formation
    Heaton
    Walker, mcAuley, baines
    Firmino, kdb,antonio, capoue
    Kun,lukaku, deeney
    1.6 itb.

    Was going sterling and sanchez but gonna swap out kdb for sanchez for nxt wks fixture, Don't fancy him v Chelsea. May bring in sterling for antonio thereafter.

    Correct decision?
    Any defender other than mcAuley for under 5.0?

    Also triple Watford risky?
    Thanks

    1. camarozz

      Sorry forgot bench
      (pickford, holebas, snodgrass, amat) going to rotate capoue with snodgrass for now.

        Thanks! That's quite hard to interpret does it mean Ibra and haz looking at dropping tonight?

          Changes are predicted when a player gets to around 100 target.

    Opinions on this WC?

    Pickford Jaku
    Baines McAuley Holebas Kelly Amat
    Sanchez KDB Firmino Snodgrass Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Deeney.

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

      Looks good

  26. Iain Dowies Love Child
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    On WC: if I decide to bring in ShawoddySnoddy alongside Sanchez, Firmino & Capoue, would you go A or B (Kun owner obvs):
    A) Sterling
    B) Antonio

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I have A

      1. Iain Dowies Love Child
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, my preferred option atm

  27. The Desi Messi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Janssen a decent 3rd striker option now given that Kane might be out for a while?

    1. Donnie Brasco´s
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Deeney and Tekkers are better for less money!!

  28. Postman Ty
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I really hope Chelsea can fix their wretched defence, Luiz has looked like he's going to be scoring goals every other week.

    1. Long Juan Silva
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He can't score goals from the bench

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I wouldn't be surprised to see him starting XI when Terry is back. When Zouma is back there will be much more competition, or maybe 3 at the back, but Luiz has been good.

        1. Long Juan Silva
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Are you taking the piss?

          1. Postman Ty
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            You don't honestly think he's worse than Cahill do you? And Terry is too slow.

          2. Postman Ty
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            point in case, Luiz just won two important balls in a row and played a perfect pass for costa in on goal, which he didn't finish.

  29. Long Juan Silva
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who captains Arsenal tonight? Guessing Ox or Gibbs?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Gibbs.

      1. Long Juan Silva
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Ta

  30. Red or Dead
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    On wildcard, which attack is best?

    Sanchez - Firmino - Capoue - ANTONIO
    Lukaku - Aguero - COSTA

    Or

    Sanchez - Firmino - Capoue - STERLING
    Lukaku - Aguero - £9.1m

    1. Scholes Balls
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I have A and happy with it, not a fan of doubling up even on city
