Scout Notes

Scout Notes – Gameweek 5 – Monday

Dimitri Payet scores both West Ham’s goals as Slaven Bilic’s men earn a first home victory of the season. The Hammers also earn a third clean sheet of the campaign as visitors Newcastle fail to find the net for the fourth successive league outing.

Payet at the Double

West Ham secured their third win of the campaign courtesy of a brace from Dimitri Payet. The France international steered the ball into the top corner from 20 yards for the Hammers’ opener, before claiming his second with a rebound from a Victor Moses strike. Payet now boasts three goals and one assist in five outings, having contributed to 11 goals (four goals and seven assists) in his previous 13 league appearances (including Ligue 1).

Priced at 7.6, Payet is sure to enjoy an increase on his 8.4% ownership in the wake of his double against the Magpies. Although the Irons next face a Manchester City rearguard that’s yet to concede this term, a strong trio of fixtures (NOR, sun, cry) beyond Gameweek 6 look more conducive to attacking returns. Certainly, many Fantasy managers will be eager to source coverage from Slaven Bilic’s outfit, given that they rank joint-top – alongside Man City and Leicester City – for goals scored (11) this term.

Victor Moses (5.3) and Mark Noble (5.5) served up the assists, with the former making his debut for the club. Moses looks to have edged ahead of fellow new boy Michail Antonio in Bilic’s first-team plans but Noble is making a strong case for investment in light of his recent productivity (two goals and one assist). The newly instated West Ham captain benefits from penalty duty and has tallied the same number of shots inside the box (four) as Payet.

Having conceded six goals in their two match-ups at the Boleyn Ground, the Hammers were much tighter at the back this time around, registering their second clean sheet on the trot and third of the campaign. A shut-out on the Sky Blues’ home turf will likely be a step too far, yet their trips to Sunderland and Crystal Palace offer encouragement on the defensive front, considering they’re one of four sides not to concede on the road.

Magpies Woes Continue

Newcastle slumped to their fourth successive defeat on Monday night, underlining their current irrelevance on the Fantasy scene. The Toon have now lost eight of their last 10 away clashes and – with Man City next on their road schedule – that inglorious statistic is unlikely to change any time soon. Furthermore, the Tynesiders have tasted victory just three times in 24 matches this calendar year.

Next on the agenda for Steve McClaren’s beleaguered troops is a home tie against Watford. The Hornets have proved to be a tough nut to crack on their travels this term, conceding just 14 shots inside the box and two big chances, and arrive on the back of three clean sheets in the last four matches – only City have scored against them over that period. Given that the Magpies have now failed to find the net since Gameweek 1, those holding Watford defenders will fancy their chances of earning another shut-out.

    I wouldn't write Newcastle off just yet. They had a terrible set of opening fixtures and a lot of new players to get up to speed.

    1. The Machine
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Also, 10 men in two games against possession sides

      1. pompeyfan

        this is true.

        I feel good about bringing in a Newcastle player into my wc team

          1. pompeyfan
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            they are obviously going to have poorer stats than most due to them having the hardest initial fixtures and being down to 10 men twice.

            Stats as always do not tell the whole story

      They weren't that bad last night, either.

    Looking for your Rough with the Smooth tales of woe and joy from Gameweek 5.

    Please let us know

    1. The key decision or decisions of the week
    2. What effect it had on your rank or score
    3. Any lessons learned?

    Any Payet benchers or ditchers? Any that captained one of this week's three mid price and budget midfield wonders?

    We'll try and read out as many as we can on tonight's Scoutcast.

      Bought Kouyaté.

      Not brilliant, but stopped me plummeting on Monday.

    2. waputs101

      i ditched Payet for Ayew and planning to get him back by gw7. fml

    3. pompeyfan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      My Hazard to Sanchez move for free is about as smooth as it gets for me. 1 point gained right there plus another 2 as it resulted in captaining Sanchez over Aguero - total of 3 points profit - boom!

    4. Rupert The Horse

      I decided to save my FT and play 3 in midfield.
      The key decision was to play a late captain for the first time this season, with the idea of doing it regularly.
      My captain was indeed Mr Payet, who brought home 32 points, the rest of my team got 35, propelling my rank from 2m to 734k.
      I was a bit bummed out that Ogbonna didn't play over 60 minutes and didn't get the clean sheet.
      Lesson learned, my new relaxed attitude and punt captain choose has profited me greatly and I shall continue in the vein.

      I benched Hoolahan and captained Aguero. 🙁

      But had Payet and Mahrez 🙂

        You are ultimate dullard 😛 . I beg you please give more time to Mark in the Scoutcast/Jontycast..

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 15 Years

          ANd I would have benched Wilson, not Hoolahan. Sorry mate

            Easy to say now. 😉

            It was an international fatigue issue for me. He's getting on a bit and had just had a storming International break so thought he may get a rest - or at least limited minutes. Looks like he'll play no matter what though but will be subbed early. Also thought Bournemouth would keep it tight.

          Do you need to make the same comment every time the scoutcast is mentioned? Beginning to sound like a broken record.

          I think Jonty is a great addition to the scoutcast.

            He is. I totally agree, just to give more time to others now and than

              That is bull, Daniel. Jonty is an awesome addition to this site and to the ScoutCast. Stop with that insulting line of more time for Mark. He is the boss anyway...he will take more time as he wants it without your help.

              CARRY ON, JONTY.

      Benched Myhill. Played Guzan. Swing of 7 points.

    7. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kept Payet cause on MNF 😎

    8. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Azpi to Kolarov worked.
      Ozil to Pedro didn't.
      Lesson learnt. Pedro price will not rise of all transfer ins are WC transfers.

    9. Takamba
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ditched Payet for Pedro

      If I'd have kept Payet, I'd now be in the top 10k. Massive error, first huge one I've made this season.

      The annoying thing was, I knew it was the wrong thing to do with Newcastle at home. The potential Pedro price rises (which ironically never happened), coupled with the fact West Ham had scored 6 goals with no Payet involvement had me concerned.

      It's most annoying because it was exactly the fact that I avoided these sorts of moves that contributed to my success last year.

    10. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1) Keeping payet, in large part thanks to your good self Jonty who advised me to hold for just one more game, despite the allure of Ayew and price rise.
      2) Transformed yet another miserable game week into a respectable 50 point finish with Richards and Targett stuck on my bench.
      3) Keep good players showing form who have blanked. It would have been so easy for me to get rid of Payet, who was not involved in the last 6 hammers goals and is their main playmaker.

    11. Barry Woj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Payet > Ayew was my transfer.
      Still managed to get a green arrow taking me into the top 1 million.

    12. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is FPL slowly phasing price changes out of the game?

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years

        RF

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This. Please use your influence to bring back the price changes

    13. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1. Armband on Kun - not that I'd ever play maverick with the armband and put it on e.g, Mahrez. He's obviously too cheap to be trusted with that ;-). Benching Cedric over Gomez also an oversight.
      2. Since everyone else also captained Kun, just a small red (no Payet 🙁 )
      3. Its slowly getting apparent to me that my initial strategy with budget defense with useless 4.5's and cheap GK's to allow for "big hitters" like Aguero, Sanchez, Hazard and Rooney needs reconsidering (in fairness, latter two now long gone from my team)

    14. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Key decision was not to transfer out Silva, as I had a free transfer, and just play Hoolahan instead.
      Effectively saved me a free transfer and improved my overall weeks score by 11.

      Lesson learned was not to knee jerk, plenty of people were telling me to get Pedro in, glad I stuck to my plan.

    15. FPL Daniel
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Captained Aguero. 4 captaincy fails if Rooney with 5pts doesn't matter. In 5 GW's my team has scored only 1 goal, WIlson last week. If that isn't rough, what is it...

      1. The_Colonel
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        what happened to your pre-season enthusiasm?

    16. Non-template FPL is for Kin…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      After I read that Aguero has come off injured, I got up to grab a drink. As I got up I hit my foot off the the table and fell in agony. Now I've hit a few chairs and tables in the past but this one really hurt, those wee toes. Anyway I'm lying in the living room screaming with my little one standing there confused. I asked the wife for some frozen peas to to ease the pain. She was concerned too. After a couple of minutes with frozen peas on my toes and I'm still lying on the floor all I could say to the missus is "Aguero went off injured". She wasn't impressed 😆

    17. Mona di Fiume
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I put Aguero as captain but thankfully Payet and Mahrez saved my GW, Mata and Kompany were also decent, but the rest are only players with 1 or 2 points...51 points in total, quite decent thanks to west ham and leicester's comeback

    18. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1. Two key decisions this week. 1) Benching Wilson and playing 3-5-2 instead of 3-4-3 with Payet, Ayew, Mahrez, Sanchez and Yaya. And 2) Of course, captaining Mahrez instead of Aguero was key.

      2. With a score of 73 this week and 4 green arrows in a row, my rank has gone from from 2,038,359 in GW1 to 27,205 now. That's an increase of 2,011,154, basically I jumped over 2 million in a month. That has to be some kind of record. It's clear I had a terrible start, but my GW2 WC (1 week earlier than everyone else) and subsequent has put me at the top of nearly all my MLs.

      3. Be patient with players, sometimes the best transfer is no transfer at all. Look at FFS stats tables and comparison tool for who to bench each week. Be aggressive if necessary, but always level-headed. And don't be afraid to captain outside the norm, especially this year.

      Thanks FFS and posters for help and advice!

    19. Gamoriola of the Galaxy (Eu…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rough and smooth. My lone transfer was Silva to Chadli, so I had another player on Sunday, and he did't add much--not particularly rough. My smooth decisions were (a) hanging onto Payet when others lost patience, (b) hanging onto Myhill when others said Lindegaard would definitely start, and (b) putting the armband on Mahrez. The best part about the Mahrez decision is that I made it earlier in the week, then switched to Aguero Friday night owing to persuasion on these boards, and then switched back to Mahrez at 11:30 because I felt I should stick to my original instinct.

      890k to 149k

      Trust my instincts, not groupthink, and be patient with players who look good but haven't been scoring.

    20. Mr F Gallagher
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Captained Aguero 🙁
      Payet, Mahrez and Hoolahan in midfield 🙂

    21. Donhush
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sold Silva to Pedro to have a reason to watch the early Kickoff, a bit nervous not owning Silva now.

      I was tempted to ditch Payet for Ayew but kept to h e a reason to watch the MNF.

    22. Jonny Bananas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      After having Adrian sent off the week I brought him in, then I bought Courtois who also got injured....i finally brought in Gomes who got 9 points, 1st GK clean sheet of the season!

      Captaining Sanchez over Aguero got me my highest captain score of the season with SIX points 🙂

      2.45m to 1.45m rank....not quite party time....but I'm happy with a watford keeper and i don't need to make a sub this week either which is a 1st for 3 years.

      TV of 102.7m means I should be well positioned should big-hitters start big-hitting.

    23. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1. Staying patient and keeping Payet trusting his underlying stats.
      2. Went from 3mill to 1 mill.
      3. Patience will always triumph over the wanton kneejerkers of which there are many on here you'll find.

    24. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Used my FT on Payet >> Ayew, 14point swing and yet another captain fail (Aguero)

      Somehow managed 45points with a small green arrow to 400k ish

    25. The_Colonel
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I couldn't decide whether to do Silva->KDB or Ward-> Jenkinson. Ended up making the wrong decision and brought in KDB only for him to be on the bench. Luckily came on early but only because Aguero (my captain) went off early.

      I did have Payet which helped me move from ~1million to 500k in the rankings on Monday. The only downside is that my brother and arch rival captained him. Swine.

    26. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1) Kun or Mahrez captain (went C, VC). Oops
      2) Rose to 35k OR (had Payet last night..). Guess another 10 points might have got be near 10k.
      3) Need to think outside the Kun (Box). If he keeps getting taken out then I might reconsider my constant captaining!

    27. FantaCity
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Captained Mahrez .... benched Payet

    28. Mavric Marco
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I played my WC last weekend, I was hopeful, excited, looking forward to lots of points...

      39 pts

      🙁

    29. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Joy - Payet owner
      Woes -. Took armband off payet for kun, benched ighalo
      Lessons learned - None whatsoever

    30. Shifty
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sold Hazard for Pedro early in the game week, giving me a decent midfield of Pedro-Silva-Chadli-Mahrez for the week.

      Silva's injury caused a unnecessary panic as with Silva out, I was leaving about 12.5m unutilized. Panicked a late wildcard...

      Transitioned to a 3-5-2 on the poorly made assumption that Aguero is finally free of his random injuries. Bought Naughton, Begovic, Skrtel, Dawson, Ayew but sold Koscielny, Cedric, Targett, Chadli, Pantillimon.

      Not many points lost - but now my team is in tatters as I have to decide whether to go 4-5-1 this week or sell Aguero for Benteke.

      Lesson learned - it's fine to make early transfers in int'l week...but important to stay calm and not throw the baby out with the bathwater if a subsequent injury happens...could have easily benched Silva and played Targett.

    31. tinkerer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Played my wildcard last week and was 30+ points down on the deal (I transfered out Cedric Mane Pelle Sterling etc) but my team was set up for a good game week this time around until Ward and Silva got injured so I transfered Ward for Shaw who would have got a clean sheet if it wasn't for Benteke's wonder goal and swapped Silva for Sterling who got injured also. I have Aguero who got injured early on and my first sub was Morrison who didn't play. I was around 14,000 place and now I am around 95,000.

    32. kapulasta
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I must be among worst transfers this week..
      Payet+silva-> De bruene and ayew with barkley on bench waiting to come in for silva... 16+9->3+2..
      And aquero captain...

    33. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rough was taking a hit doing Payet and Diouf to Ayew and Gomis. Also playing Darmian over Richards.

      Smooth getting Hoolahan points from the bench for Silva, if Silva was fit I would probably have missed out on those points

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Oh and of course captaining Aguero

      2. Takamba
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Well this has at least made me feel a bit better!

    34. The_Colonel
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Smoothest of the smooth: This weeks top scorer played their triple captain chip and placed the armband on Rooney. BUT their vice captain was Payet....

      1. Donkey_Sanctuary
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That's hardly smooth. Just unbelievably lucky. I think that smooth has to be an intentional decision which paid off

        1. The_Colonel
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          That may be true but they made the decisions to 1) have Payet in team, 2) play triple captain and 3) set Payet as vice

          1. Donkey_Sanctuary
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            That is one way of looking at it. Or you could look at it as an utterly ludicrous decision to triple captain Rooney which achieved a spectacularly lucky outcome

            Incidentally, this guy has had Rooney (c) and Payet (v) since GW2 so I don't think this is a stroke of genius.

            Saying all that he has no doubt done much better from his tripple captain chip than I will do so fair play to him!

    35. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      1. Got rid of Silva and Diouf for a -8. I brought in YYT and Kane who did nothing.
      2. I scored 39 (-8) so I got knocked out of LMS.
      3. Don't take hits.

      After weighing up the options made the Kompany -> Kolarov transfer on Friday only to feel gutted seeing Silva injured come up just as I'd completed the transfer.

      This meant I'd have to play Payat who was going to be on the bench and no points from Silva. Suffice to say this ended up turning out very nicely with Kolarov getting 3BPs and Payat getting his 16 points that I'd have benched!

      Rough and Smooth weekend for me...

      Swapping Krul for Myhill 🙁
      Payet captain 🙂

      Still 200k ranking.. needs to improve soon!

    38. Xhaka Kahn't
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Had the armband on Payet all week long, then listened to the Scoutcast on Friday and switched to Sanchez after Jonty's enthusiasm for his underlying stats got the better of me! (mind you he wasn't far away from bagging a brace himself)

      Sanchez 3 + Payet 32 = 35
      Sanchez 6 + Payet 16 = 22

      13 Points difference would have given me a 73 point gameweek.

      Lessons learned would be to probably look for potential captains playing out of form teams, even if they are not heavy hitters.

    39. PurpleCobras

      9 years, 1 month ago

      5 gameweeks down, I'm firmly rooted in the 1.4m rankings. I know that you and a lot of the community has had a ropey start so far this season, but I wanted to know if any of you guys have ever had worse starts in previous seasons? Did you turn it around, and, if so, how?

    40. Texas Pete
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      key for me was playing the AOA chip. If hadn't I would have had to choose between Ayew, Payet, Yaya, Sanchez & Mahrez and I would probably have chosen wrong. Giving the armband to Mahrez instead of a 'big hitter' was key too (first C points!)

      Went from 1,106,352nd to 376,805th

      Lsson learnt? Even proven big hitters have to be looked at critically and assessed on form.

      Will be fun when that form returns though!

    41. Money Penny
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Had red flags on silva, ward, courtinho (who i brought in for mane last week), courtois (who I've had since gw1), and a yellow on diouf.

      I made one transfer: Silva -> Sterling.
      Aguero (C)
      Dropped further towards 2 million

      What could I possibly learn from this? Glad I didn't take a hit I suppose

    42. C-Dawgg
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      My week was the definition of he rough with the smooth.

      Smooth: decision to bench Diouf and play Hoolahan rather than sell him for Gomis, as well as deciding to give Payet one last chance before shipping for a city mid.

      Rank change: 64 points for the week takes me from 800k to 300k ish.

      Rough: last minute captaincy swap from Mahrez to Aguero

      Lesson leaned: stop trying to make Aguero a thing, he'll start scoring when he's good and ready.

    43. Bobby's Shocker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A tale of joy for one, and woe for the rest of us.

      Had a look at the winner of this gw who triple captained Rooney, but to much avail he vc'd none other than Dimitri Payet. Next level maverick.

    44. Sconeaus - The Dude Abides
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bitta rough, bitta smooth. Took hoolahan out for kouyate (whyyy?), but kept payet thank Jaysus! Ended up with 60 points thanks to Kolarov, myhill, payet n mahrez but aguero captain

      Moved up over 900,000 places. Lessons learned, season still random n maverick captaincy is definitely an option

    45. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The Smooth: Since I considered Aguero to be in the last chance saloon following his disappointing returns, I decided to bench him and captain either Kolarov or Mahrez instead. I thought about using my AOA chip so that I wouldn't have to hide behind the sofa, but decided not to. 🙂

      The Rough: However, following his goals and assists for Argentina during the international break, I not only restored him to my starting eleven, I also gave him the armband again - and benched Payet instead. 🙁

      The Lucky Break: But Silva got himself injured, so I benched him instead and Payet returned to my starting eleven. 🙂

      The Result: Although I had my 5th successive captaincy fail, my 45 points from Payet (16), Mahrez (11), Kolarov (9) and Gomes (9) resulted in my OR improving by nearly 200k, from 445k to 247k. 🙂

      Lessons Learned:
      1. There's a lot of luck in this game.
      2. Cheaper in-form players can get you more points than the more expensive but out-of-form 'big hitters'.
      3. Sometimes it's better to do your own thing rather than following the FFS consensus.

        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Insert between The Lucky Break and The Result:

        The Rough Again: I swapped the armband between Aguero and Mahrez at least a dozen times, and unfortunately it was with Aguero when the music stopped. 🙁

    46. View From the Cheap Seats
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A tale of woe to joy for me this game week. Having finished Saturday with a paltry 21pts. from 8 players, I feared my adventure inside the top 100k was almost certainly over. Then the Mahrez(c)/Payet double performed their weekend redeeming magic. With a further point from the hapless Tim Krul subbing in for the crocked Thibault Courtois, the round ended with me having accumulated 60pts. and a place in the top 30k!

      1. The Mahrez armband was a key decision.
      2. It propelled me, to deep in the depths of the top 100k.
      3. Knee-jerks are for physical examines and mid-life crises, NOT FPL!

    47. Mr. Funny Name
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Contemplated switching myhill to lindegaard and payet to ayew, luckily held off on those moves and had diouf starting but saturday morning before my soccer league match (which we won 6-4!), I benched diouf and started hoolahan instead, scored 72 points this week with main points hauls coming from myhill, payet, hoolahan, mahrez and kolarov, ranking has soared from 750k to 100k.

      What I've learned is that a bit of patience and luck goes a long way and that a late Saturday mornong reshuffle can make a difference

    48. The 12th Man
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1. I had to bench one of these, Sanchez, Yaya, Ayew, Payet, Mahrez, Aguero, Gomis, Wilson.
      Back and forth all week with the unlucky Payet missing out. Unlucky for me! Or bad judgement?
      2. Ended with 41 for the week. Would have been around 56 with Payet in.
      3. Have a bench fodder midfielder. Too many headaches!

    49. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I made Aguero my captain, who was subbed off after 25 minutes, made Mahrez my vice captain, and therefore missed out on eleven extra points, played Gomez over Nyom in defence, and so lost out on Nyom"s clean sheet, and brought in Ayew for Coutinho for a hit, only for Ayew to do nothing. I also brought in Gomis for Benteke, only for Gomis to also do nothing and Benteke to score a spectacular bicycle kick, and lose out on his six points for his goal. All in all, a total, total shocker of a week. The worst I've ever known in Fantasy football.

      1. Blame it on Traore
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I would like to add that my decision-making cost me 28 points in total. I finished up with 38 points when I could so easily have had 66 points.

    50. CABAYE4
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sold Silva due to his injury, showed great restraint not to buy KDB as I thought Nasri would play instead as he did. Sadly I instead bought Sterling who also decided not to show up.

      The need to get rid of Silva meant I couldn't do Ivan to Dawson which means Ivan is still rotting in my team; selling Koscielny over him in GW4 is looking sillier by the week).

      Aguero captain naturally another failure but Mahrez, Kolarov and Benteke somewhat rescued the week to give me a 5th frankly mediocre GW in a row!

    Hi guys, any tips on what to do with my free would be great and prepared to take a hit. Thinking about ditching Sanchez because since I got him in he has been a complete waste of money

    Myhill (Butland)

    Kolorov Shaw Lovren (Huth Francis)

    Silva Sanchez Chadli Mahrez (Westwood)

    Aguero Wilson Gomis

    Thanks guys 🙂

      ChAdli for someone. Not sure what your options are, Payet or Barkley maybe.

          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'm not a stats man so tend not to take too much notice of them Doosra. Spurs as a team don't look great and his fixtures turn very soon. I have him myself btw. Chadli out after this week for me.

            Spurs are badly managed, it is true, and Lamela in particular is a problem. But:

          His stats aren't the issue, Doos...

            Well - all I will say, is that the rest of your midfield better be good. No Westwoods or Sinclairs - and no Agüero, either!!!

                • 14 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                🙁

                Sánchez, Walcott, Yaya Touré, Payet/Chadli/Tadic, Mahrez
                Kane, Pellé, Gomis

                Something like that.

                1. walkman666
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Would take quite a few hits or a wc for your roster or mine or his to look like that though. We may need to evolve to that....

                  Kane, Pelle, Theo, payet/chadli/tadic all absent, right? I even have chadli, and the rest would take some roster manipulation, but I get your point about what is desirable in the future.

                2. Donkey_Sanctuary
                  • 12 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Sanchez & Walcott. Is doubling up on ARS a good idea?

                  Would you have Chadli / Tadic ahead of Ayew?

                  Also, Kane and Pelle. There are surely a lot better picks out there in terms of getting points and these two look even worse if you factor in value for money

    2. Budweiser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      With so many big hitters playing so badly could De Bruyne be worth signing early? He looked very good against Palace and was unlucky not to get 2 assists!

    3. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thoughts on the UEFA CL Fantasy game debacle?

      Interested to hear what you guys think about this nonsense, coming from the governing body of European football.

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Back 7.

      Ruddy Rudd
      Mertesacker Kolarov Cedric Francis Browning

      Worth a hit to bring in Nyom/Dawson and Myhill this week or just one?

    5. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Will any of the scoutcast team be switching to 4-5-1 formation if Aguero is out?

    6. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is FPL slowly phasing price changes out of the game?

      1. Fitzy.
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I think it's obvious that they are trying to eliminate building up team value as a strategic element of the game.

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed, I reckon in a couple seasons, it will no longer be part of the game.

          There will however be more gizmo chips and other fluffy nonsense.....

      2. Donkey_Sanctuary
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I don't think they are. The transfer market aspect of it is definitely a strength of the game. Would be a shame to loose it

    7. The Albatross
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is Pedro worth keeping?

    8. Alan Hansen's Emu
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      In this current FPL climate, is investing 'heavy' at the back a genuine strategy? Mid priced MFs are flying, monies freed up for a good backline. 451 / 541 anyone?

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Big hitters will come good soon, I reckon, don't want to mess with your team too much in case it happen quickly and have to totally re-org your team.

        Just my opinion....

        1. Alan Hansen's Emu
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I know, I think you're right - but at present my team is stretched to the max budget wise.

          Might genuinely role out 442/352

      2. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Attacking points is still the key so at least 2 up front for me

    9. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What are those?

    10. Gooner Kebab
      • 12 Years

      WBA defenders worth getting?

    11. djenzio
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      is this the season where 3-4-3 is not working anymore?

      should we will be considering a switch to 3-5-2 or even 4-4-2 in order to make up ground in the ranks?

      1. Alan Hansen's Emu
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah my thoughts above.

    12. Nickk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is it only a matter of time before the traditional big hitters start firing once more, or should we go and captain the form players, like Mahrez for example?
      My front 3 is Gomis, Wilson and Aguero. And strangely I can't decide who to captain after this strange start to the season.

    13. djenzio
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      is it time to let go of Hazard? our we just clinging to old habits and seasons past when he has dominated?

      1. Mona di Fiume
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You still have him? 😀

      2. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sell. Just as easy to bring him back in at a cheaper price

    14. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Have 2 free transfers, is it worth getting 2 or 3 Liverpool players in for their next 2 home games?

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No
        Can't trust their defence or attack right now

    15. FPL Daniel
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The question:

      Is it ok to waste a transfer sometimes? Have you ever been in that situation? I know Mark has been in the past and you didn't know what to do last week? Do you make the transfer just for the sake of it, or you just let it go..?

      My team in example I don't want to sell nobody and have 2FT.

          I would ditch Pedro for Coutinho but not sure people will agree.

        No. Not ever. There is NEVER a time when your team is perfect.

        When you think it is, you will score 35 that week ...

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          But who to change? I don't know the answer. Doesn't matter it isn't perfect

          1. Dinamo Drachma
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I'd take a STK defender to ride the fixtures and probably ditch Pedro

    16. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Last time Liverpool lost at OT they put in a string of solid results. With his back against the wall again, could BR play more attacking football? With NOR and AVL up next, worth getting Benteke or Coutinho?

    17. OPTA FPL
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Big different between Payet playing in the hole and on the flanks?!

      1. Donhush
        • 10 Years

        This...his natural positon is #10 and we saw what he did last night and how involved he was

    18. OPTA FPL
      • 13 Years

      Any Stoke midfielders worth getting if you already have Diouf?

    19. FPL Daniel
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Please discuss that imaginary Richards assist for Granville. Make him discuss it and admit it

    20. OPTA FPL
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Shaquiri or Arnautovic?

      1. Mona di Fiume
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        neither

    21. Helia
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      if we were to know aguero was definitely going to be unfit to play this gw and possibly the next would it be wrong to keep him on the bench? I think id do that and spend a free transfer reinforcing my bench with oxford to evans. (Already did alderweireld to nyom with my forst FT.)

      Would like to know what Aguero news would make you think its worth actually transferring him out. I wouldnt want to be stuck trying to get him back in just a couple gws later!

      1. Mona di Fiume

        Depends on what the rest of your team looks like. I will leave him on the bench if he won't be playing this weekend and play a 4-4-2 formation with richards, shaw, kompany and gomez in the back and wilson, gomis up front...But I'm sure he'll be back in time for gw7, no doubt about it...

      I've ditched Aguero - and doubled up on Man City defenders (and the rare situation of 6.8m in the bank) , too risky?

      1. Mona di Fiume
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        that's a great short-term move cause City's defense is getting massive points, not so sure about long-term tho...Aguero will score goals sooner or later, the question is when...

        Most of the current top ten have done that from the start.

        It's worked for them so far, but will it continue to do so?

      Not exactly a scoutcast question rather more of an issue.
      I can't seen to watch it live and was wondering if that's a YouTube formatting problem / a regional issue as I'm in Australia or because I'm using a Samsung galaxy s4?

      Someone posted a very good post about how all forwards this year have turned into Costa baps wise. To get bonus points, they usually have to do more than score or assist a single goal even if it is the winning goal. Defenders, midfielders and even keepers are more favored than forwards after the change in bonus system.

      Does this change in the bonus system signal the end of 3-4-3 as the best/default strategy? Is it time to play 4-4-2 and 3-5-2 more often? And should we be captaining defenders more often (especially the attacking ones like Kolarov, Shaw and Bellerin for example)?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah this too. Forwards are all Costa bonus points wise. Maybe change in formation

      Why are there not more women on FFS and what are the Scouts going to do about it?

      As far as I can tell there are only five girls on here: Christina, Ruth, Lucy, Annie and the one who likes American football and supports SWN.

      1. Fitzy.
        • 12 Years

        You know full well that some of those aren't girls!

        1. Jafalad
          • 14 Years

          Some of them are 50-50 I'll admit but it's so easy to hide behind your anonymity on here 😉

            Lucy and Annie are probably the only girls among that lot (assuming that Annie is a girl) - I'm pretty sure that Christina, Ruth and Katie aren't - so I think it's more like 40-60.

            But there are probably plenty of other females who either don't bother to post or hide under assumed names. TorresMagic has commented in the past that there are more than we think.

            I never managed to work out which Camzy was - does anyone know what happened to him or her - or to Fran?

        The main reason is that most women have absolutely no interest in fantasy football. Which is fine. A lot will have quite negative views of it based on hearing guys go on about it a lot.

        That said, there could well be girls on here that don't choose a female name as their username. The majority of those you've listed are guys anyway making listing them like that a futile exercise.

        I think the scouts should go around clubs and bars armed with business cards and use their charms to persuade more girls to come on the site.

      Time to stop looking at heat maps and stats and just use our eyes and judgments of the game?

      There are some very obvious players not performing ie Rooney, Depay, Pelle, Hazard, Chelsea defense, most of Liverpool, Kane. Some who are doing ok and not scoring ie Sanchez Aguero

      Time to just use this information or still go into the stats. For me im using my judgement for a while

      It seems defensive points are more predictable than attacking points. Is anyone considering playing more than 3 defenders at the back until things become clear?

      1. Dinamo Drachma
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'd do that if I had for example two City defenders and a couple of defenders with easy matches

    30. Dinamo Drachma
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is captaining an attacking defender with an easy fixture a viable strategy?

    31. jkdeclan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is it fair to say that there has been a paradigm shift this season, and that fixtures are no longer a reliable guide to fantasy football success?

      Before the beginning of the season pundits were talking about the rise of the Premier League's middle and lower classes on account of the massive TV money floating around. This seems to be how things are panning out, yet many FPL managers (including myself) are failing to acknowledge the new reality. Or are we actually right to expect things to return to "normal" any week now?

      Some people suggest the sample size is too small to draw any conclusions, but 5 games represents almost 15% of a season. That not an insignificant amount of data.

    33. The_Colonel
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      With European football imminent, which teams do you think will be most affected by their mid-week efforts?

      Personally, I think united could struggle with their squad. However, Liverpool could use it to get some much needed confidence. Either that or completely ruin them....

    34. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Myself like most getting the captain wrong every week is it time to go left field and not back the big hitters Sanchez/Hazard/Aguero ect and go Wilson/Mahrez/Kolarov form/fixtures over heavy hitters?

    35. Ready Manager One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I got in pedro for silva. Should i get silva back now for pedro and just suck up the loss? Alternatively, bring in kolarov to sit alongside kompany as 3rd city player (other being aguero) and keep pedro (praying that he'll produce points against arsenal)?

      Keep up the great work guys!

    36. jkdeclan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Though it appears that stats mean nothing this season, could it be argued that we just need to interpret them more carefully?

      For example, Sanchez's 50+ touches in the box has become a comfort blanket to his owners, but a more careful analysis of this statistic might reveal that this abnormally high number actually explains why so many of his shots have been blocked (14 out of 28). He is simply taking too many touches!

      Far from statistical research being irrelevant this season, I actually think those who really do the hard research will be more rewarded than ever.

      What are you planning to do with Gomez after GW7 ?

      L'Pool: eve, tot, SOU, che, CRY, mci, SWA

      Liverpool's fixtures are looking bad for a few weeks (GW14 to GW20 looks good again, but not sure Gomez will still start by then), normally I would just let him on my bench but the problem is Darmians fixtures are also bad at the same time:

      Man.Utd.: ars, eve, MCI, cry, WBA, wat, lei

      I guess many are in the same position.

      With Aguero looking likely to miss this weekend the importance of having a Man City mid in your squad for their upcoming fixtures seems crucial. But which one? Toure/De Bruyne/Silva/Sterling?!?!

    44. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I'm thinking Benteke or Wilson instead...

      Is double City defence a viable short-term strategy until one of Sterling/Yaya/Silva/KDB emerges as the stand-out City midfield pick?

      I sort of accidentally happened upon it two weeks ago and since then Sagna + Kolorov double up has got me:

      18pts + 16pts

      ...in the 2GWKs.

      1.Do you guys think Myhills no.1gk position is now guaranteed until Foster returns?

      2.Captaincy options - it's becoming very difficult to pick a captain for this coming gw, with the big hitters not performing, should we start taking punts on the cheaper options?

    53. Shmadz - Le Saux Solid Crew
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mark, Stanville & Jonty,

      Of all the misfiring big-hitters in the first 5 game weeks of the season, which player(s), in the opinion of the objectivity laden Brains Trust, have the greatest chance of turning up and performing to schedule, come season end....and which the greatest chance of proving a season long flop?

      I'd guess at Kun Aguero being most likely to come good and have performances match his price tag and England's record goalscorer, Wayne Rooney is most likely to have proven the biggest disappointment come the end of the season.

    54. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ

      City defence..

      Thoughts on doubling up?

      Have showed excellent form, with potential for BAPS and attacking returns. Kolarov and Kompany/Sagna look good for the foreseeable. Especially with Shaw now out, many will be looking to replace him with another premium, week in week out defender.

      The City midfield is an issue IMO. KDB has added to what was already a plethora of FPL options. Chances are he will take points away from the likes of Silva. There's also Sterling and Yaya to contend with. As well as the odd Fernandinho thunderbolt or through ball picking up some points (not saying he is a viable FPL alternative). Not all of them will score well. It's a lottery picking any of them, and there will be times when some score and others don't.

      Thoughts on captaining defenders too? Especially players like Kolarov; probably my captain this weekend.

    55. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      How long do you expect Shaw to be out for and who will deputise for him?

      How much is his absence likely to affect United?

        • Has Moderation Rights

        And will City be affected much if Kompany misses the next match?

    56. Rustyboy
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I know it looks like the season has started like a mixed bag, but do you guys feel though a lot of the guys at the top end points wise are just people who have burned their chips like triple captain and bench boost already?

    57. The_Socca_Philosopha

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        It's probably because they expect him to lose his place to Foster sometime soon - but will he?

    I have 2 FT guys - which transfers would you do ???

    A.) Panti ----> Myhill or Gomes

    B.) Huth ------> Jevans or Nyom

    C.) Deeney -----> Bojan

    1. A.T
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B Evans

    2. waputs101
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B for Dawson tho if u got extra 0.2

    3. Bangarang
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Do (A) - (Myhill) .Get rid of Deeney, but not to Bojan, No cash for Defoe?

    4. Donhush
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A definitely from that lot.

      Watford have good fixtures and B is definitely a waste

  8. Norb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Should I transfer Huth out tonight before price fall or save my FT?

    I'm happy with my current 3 at the back for next week so I'm not in need for a defender with good fixture

    1. A.T
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Save then

      1. Norb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yh a loss of 0.1 shouldn't be any problem, but on the other hand Leicester defense doesn't seem so good

        1. A.T
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Id certainly look to get rid soon if possible but it's not essential and the ft might come in very handy.

    Sanchez to Mata?? Even though everyone saying Sanchez has the stats theres no point having him if after each week he doesn't deliver and we keep saying the same thing.

  12. Caravagio
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Think im gna play a strong 3-5-2 while Aguero doubtful.

    Ive got mahrez, ayew, pedro and shaqiri.

    I've got obertan on bench who I will sub out. Will have 9.6 million to use.

    who would you pick for next 2-3 GWs?

    Thinking maybe Mata or Yaya/Sterling?

    1. Jazz!

    So what are people's definition of form on here? Everyone seems to have their own definitions.
    no one said anything about Payet being on form the past 2 weeks but now he's the form mid in fpl?
    Pedro was considered the form mid but he blanked once so he is no longer in form?
    Sanchez has had loads of shots but he is not in form because his shots were off by an inch?
    Ayew seems to have been forgotten.. People were considering removing Mahrez at the end of the first half on sunday..
    Crazy short term thinking on here atm

    1. Bangarang

    4. Rupert The Horse

      Being involved, creating chances, getting into positions to have chances. Example Sanchez. Unless he gets crocked I'm keeping for now.

      Payet's form has been steady, and holding up well. Marauders/Chancers

      Pedro has been crap - only one shot on target - the goal

      Sánchez IS a conundrum, it's true.

      Ayew was always going to be hot and cols - Gomis is the one. Assassins/Marauders/Chancers

    7. Boris Bodega

      There's two definitions, a) form related to how they are playing, and b) form related to how many points they are scoring in FPL.

      if a) is good but b) is poor, the chances are b) will improve shortly. This is the case with Sanchez and Aguero, imo.

      If a) is poor but b) is good, chances are they lucked out. You could say this about Naismith, or Sako.

      This is why it's important to watch the players you have in your team wherever you can, and look at the stats (or ask Doos...) to support your interest in a player.

        Don't believe a word of it, quite the contrary - its your social life thats just died, not your ff career. You now have an inbuilt excuse to have a sneaky peek at the price changes as they happen and join the deadzone whilst on feed shift. Just make sure you get your team selection and transfers in early in case you fall asleep just before the deadline. Welcome to the club where you now have no energy for life outside of the sprog and ffs.

        Congrats to you and your other half - hang in there and enjoy - you will soon be looking forward to getting them a kit and taking them to a match (trip to seaside sneakily coinciding with Blackpool away at 15 months in my case.)

    My front 3 for GW6 is Wilson, Gomis and Aguero.nthe obvious captain choice traditionally would be Aguero. But the way this seasons going I don't even know who to choose.

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

      I did Mahrez last week and it beautifully paid off. Trust me, and go with Wilson (SUN)

      1. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Agree. Him or Mahrez or Sagna for me.

  16. Jazz!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Play One

    A) Francis (SUN)
    B) Darmian (sou)
    C) Both and bench Sanchez

    1. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Margarido
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Darmian

    3. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      🙁 1-1 right now. Anyone care to decide the decider?

    4. waputs101
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Darmian. The way Che is defending, i would definitely not bench Sanchez 🙂

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

        Francis is playing the worst team in the BPL though at home + attacking threat

        1. waputs101
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Bou defense is not that steady either. Sunderland easily could have scored 2 goals against Spurs. And ManU def is all they have atm. I have Darmian too and playing him

    5. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years

      B

    6. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…

      Darmian

  17. HVT
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Predicted rises / drops this week?

  18. djenzio
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    is Hazard to Coutinho for free good or just plain madness?

    1. HVT
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not madness but a gamble - not sure I would.

    2. Donhush
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If i had owned Hazard for this long I would be worried selling. I personally don't trust coutinho fantasy wise.

    3. The Rock
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't get Coutinho, but perhaps someone else.

      1. djenzio
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        my other option is Sanchez.

        maxed out on City and no one else is tempting me

  19. treemendous87
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I have lost patience with Chelsea now, clearly an unhappy camp. I gave Hazard 5 weeks, but now he has to go. So, I can choose any midfielder in the game.

    Does anyone have a better idea than making the swap for Sanchez and captaining him vs Chelsea? He has been so unlucky not to score yet.

    1. HVT
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wait 1 more week?
      Tough call, still a home game for Haz with penos.

      1. treemendous87
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hmmmm. Interesting point, but last week was supposed to be his last chance.

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Get Silva, he has better fixtures

      1. treemendous87
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Already have Silva

    3. The Rock
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't bring in Sanchez this week... He's been unlucky for a while now, it could continue on for another while!

    4. djenzio
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      same boat for me. considering Coutinho for his 2 plum fixtures. thought about Sanchez too. Haz dropped again this week, very annoying.

      1. treemendous87
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I got Coutinho in for his red card week, which was lovely. I was considering keeping, but Liverpool just look shocking.

  20. n-doggg
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which one to move Depay to?

    A. Ayew
    B. Hazard
    C. Coutinho
    D. Other

    2 FT, 3.5m ITB

    My team

    McCarthy, butland
    Kolarov, shaw, targett, richards, muniesa
    Sanchez, yaya, Depay, mahrez, Westwood
    Aguero, gomis, Wilson

    Thanks

    1. merin
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

      or maybe Payet

      SWA have easier match than WHU this week

    2. The Rock
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Payet?

      I wouldn't go for Ayew because you already have Gomis and Haz and Chelsea are in terrible form and Coutinho is a bit overrated as a FPL player.

      1. merin
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        +1

    3. kalmoffit

    Well done maverick. I admire you

  22. The Rock
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Think i will be doing a simple Westwood to Sinclair transfer this week. Hard to look past Sinclair short term anyway.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      luxury transfer

      1. The Rock
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It is a little bit, could also do with shipping Pelle out but i think Sinclair could deliver.

        Will either be lots of goals in the derby or a bore 0-0. Any predictions for the Villa v W.Brom match?

        1. OPTA FPL
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Villa fixtures becoming tougher, I wont do that transfer
          1-0 or 0-0

        2. Shearer & Sutton
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          1-1

  23. Prøphet
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Looking at the stats tables / fixtures and stuff i cant decide which defender to get instead of Clark after this GW, dont want to take a hit since its a waste anyways.

    Def looks like this

    Myhil - Butland
    Williams, Kolarov, Francis, Huth , CLARK. Now i have 3 city players and MUN has a tough schedule just after next game vs SUN at home. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Money is no issue since i have enough for any defender bar Ivan/Terry who are not an option 😀

    Thoughts?

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Muniesa or anyone

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Was looking at Nyom, leaning towards Cresswell or Belerin. Tough call tbh

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            Fonte, Bellerin or Cresswell ...

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Yea my thoughts as well tbh. Not sure if i fancy SOT yet, but i think i will be going for Cresswell!

            • 9 Years

            If money is no issue at all, go for Cresswell IMO. West Ham look solid, after the City game they have nice fixtures

            1. Prøphet
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Yea, my thoughts exactly. I can get Bellerin or Fonte for Huth next week bar any injuries or unexpected things since im happy with my front 7

    Do we reckon Norwich will score past Pool at Anfield?

    1. The Rock

      Probably! 😀

    2. OPTA FPL

      Hoolahan and Redmond will cause Gomez big problem

    3. Jafalad

      Yes...I firmly believe they will. May be BR's last game in charge.

  26. Bobby_Baggio

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hi guys. Some advice please. 1FT and 1.7m ITB

    Schmei
    Kolarov, Mert, Azpi
    Mane, Pedro, Mahrez, Sterling
    Aguero, Benteke, Wilson

    (Schwar), Francis, Richards, Fletcher

    Mane > Samchez
    Azpi > 4.5m def

    1. The Rock
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think Mane should go anyway.. Sanchez needs to start delivering but fixtures are getting tougher so not sure..Sanchez or Payet for me.

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ok but for me to afford that i'd need to downgrade Azpi > 4.5m def

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Would be happier to see Silva and Sanchez in there.

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ok - i can't fit silva as i have 3 city but sanchez i can do for mane but need to downgrade Azpi to 4.5m def if you think thats worth it?

  27. FPL Daniel
    • 15 Years

    Mahrez captain next week? He never blanked till now. That game when he got injured doesn't count

      Captained him last week. And I'm not giving him the armband over Wilson. Away to Stoke vs home to Sunderland + Wilson has hat trick potential.
      Could be a good option I guess, likes to go double figures

      It's a good shout tbh. The guy is on fire right now.

      Not a bad choise but i think I'm still going for Kolarov, can feel a goal/assist coming for him + decent enough chance of a cleanie.

      My first thought was Kolorov.

    What are Sagna owners doing? Just fear a Kolarov explosion is around the corner with those fixtures...

      Hi son.
      Those who bought Sagna instead of Kolarov did so knowing that Kolarov is better but more expensive, nothing's changed.

        True. Should stick... So far difference between the two has been marginal.

      Yeah, but this is due to fixtures, it will return to normality in time.
