    Feo Walcott to Everton - 7.1m in FPL

    WBA LEI ars CRY wat bur BRI sto

    The only thing that puts me off is Allardyce's approach to games

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years

      Walcott won't be another player in Toffees' shirt. Pretty average.

      1. Ephurion

        He's been quite good when actually on the pitch?

        1. Lucky Z
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Not actually. Can tell you as Arsenal fan. Regress even from the previous season

          1. Ephurion
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            63 minutes so far this season. Could ruin anyones confidence (and it's a tiiiny sample size).

          2. TallestJohn
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Agree that even when he has played this season he's been poor, but on the right in Everton's 4-2-3-1 he could look a bit more like his old self.

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Sigurdsson in theory should be tempting at his price, but he has been ruined by Everton's approach as well. Walcott will be the same.

            Do people really still think Christensen is nailed? No wonder his price hasn’t started dropping. Would have thought it was obvious when he didn’t start Saturday when fit to play.

          3. Dino
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            Lol

    2. Athletic Bilbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Christensen was ill for two games, played, played in cup semi last midweek, rested. See if he plays tomorrow, he’s been head and shoulders their best defender and got a new contract. If he’s rested tomorrow he plays Saturday for sure

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Conte seems to prefer Rudiger. Given he was fit to play on Saturday and didn’t start I don’t understand why you’re so confident. At a minimum he’s a big rotation risk because Chelsea have a lot of games to play.

  3. shotgunnufc - MANIAC

    who would you rather own right now

    A - alonso
    B - kun

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      If straight choice between two, irrespective of price. Kun.

      1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        ye it comes down to Christensen + kun
        Or
        Alonso + firmino

        1. Yellin' in my Ear
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Putting it like that, Alonso easy

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      B

    3. Ephurion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Alonso.
      Cheaper, more points, less (no) rotation.

    4. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      A, all day long.

    5. Bilbao Baggins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      A Vs Kun maybe even if he Alonso was 9 mil. His numbers in the members article and Chelsea tightening up at the back makes for crazy potential. He could be 7.5-8 mil starting price next season i reckon.

  4. goriuanx

    Chelsea have made contact with West Ham regarding a move for Andy Carroll. More to follow on @TeleFootball

    1. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      😆

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Just baffling. Almost as baffling as that season when I made Carroll a TC.

      50 odd million on Morata, 35 million on Batshuyi... and they need perma injured Carroll. If they wanted Sanchez he would go and they can afford the wages. Might be a bit more of a statement of intent too.

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years

      Wait, is this not a joke?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Nope. They're actually after him.

      2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        It’s genuine. Been rumoured since yesterday, think this is the first official contact though.

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Been rumoured a couple of weeks

    4. Athletic Bilbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      They need somebody to clean the floodlights

  5. konrad.sygula95
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard/Morata/DCL which one should I get rid off in the first place? And possible replacement? 1 FT and 0.0 itb

    1. Visionaries
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard > sterling, KDB, Sane, Salah
      Morata > Firmino, Vardy?
      DCL > Fodder or Wilson

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard! Salah

    3. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      DCL, others will play, but I'd be tempted to do two together depending on cash itb

    4. Bilbao Baggins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Sensible answer is one who isn't nailed DCL. I'd be tempted DCL and morata to firmino cal wilson? If affordable. Or firmino and cheapie and upgrade defence or midfield.

  6. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    2FTs, 0.1ITB. Good moves?

    Fabianski >> Pickford
    Depoitre >> Ayew

    Pickford
    Masuaku • Otamendi • Christensen
    Son • Salah • Richarl • Sterling • Arnie
    Kane • Aguero

    (Elliot / Ayew / Duffy / Kiko*)

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      i’d be tempted to sort out your defence first. fabs not the worst keeper to own but masuaku/Duffy/kiko combo is costing you points.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Masu and Duffy rotate so nice over the next few though! And I’ll always play christensen and ota! Any suggestions then? Thanks mate

        1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          I’m not sure Christensen is nailed on. I don’t think the Cahill injury is serious either.

      2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        in fact with kiko being injured and playing in a team with poor defence at this point you may as well have mbemba and 0.5mil. why not do the depoitre move and upgrade kiko to a 4.7ish def?

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Could do, but there are no good 4.7m! I might go down the Mbemba route

          1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            I mean there is an argument to keep him now if you think he’ll play next gw, you’ve held onto him injured for quarter of the season you may as well see some returns now! 🙂

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah 🙁

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      richarl -> albrighton / someone under 6mil
      then upgrade masuaku / kiko

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Hmm... such as? Everyone under 5mil are very poor! Thanks

    3. Athletic Bilbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Bardsley or Chilwell for Kiko?

      If you could wait for striker switch it would be wise, transfer window will impact this price bracket

      1. Athletic Bilbo
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        And rumours of Christensens demise are being greatly exaggerated IMO

  7. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Christensen + Eriksen --> Alonso + Mahrez (-4)

    Go or no go?

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      It’s a go and I think I’ll have to copy you.

    2. Ephurion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't wanna drop Eriksen before next week, really. Maybe monitor Cahills injury. If he's out I'd do it for free next GW

  8. Ed

    6 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone know when next scoutcast is?

  9. Yellin' in my Ear
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    With GW28 in mind and the usual midfield four (no spurs) that everyone has, is Mane a better replacement for Coutinho, or wouod you prefer KdB?

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I'm gonna get Mane before gw28.

    2. Athletic Bilbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Mane, unless you have Bobby F and Salah, that would be too much I think

  10. Tatty Bojangles
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Foster
    Otamendi Christensen Ogbonna
    Salah Sterling Eriksen Arnie
    Kane Aguero DCL

    Elliot Kenny Carroll Long

    a) DCL, Eriksen, Christensen > Wilson, Lingard, Alonso (-4)
    b) Eriksen, DCL > Firmino, Ox (2FT)
    c) Eriksen, DCL > Mahrez, Wilson (2FT)
    d) Something else?

  11. Steve Stiffler

    Off topic sorry, but I did a double bet today, Ronnie -2.5 Frames and Fleetwood +2, well if Leicester win 2-0 do I get the full winnings or is the Fleetwood bet refunded and I win on the Ronnie bet only, thanks

    1. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      You just lose the lot

      Counts as a 2-2 so no winner which means the double loses

      You don't get partial refunds if one of the legs doesn't win and one does

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        ah sickened, praying Leicester doesnt score anymore or Fleetwood equalising

  16. New Article Posted
  17. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    So, for GW28, the potential teams that will blank are just City, Chelsea, United and Arsenal - correct? When do we find out for sure?

    1. TallestJohn
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Correct, we'll know based on the results of the Carabao semi-finals next week.

      If Arsenal or City make it through that fixture in GW28 is obviously a blank.

      If Chelsea make it through their match with United is a blank.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        So it is likely all 4 will blank then with a large blank in GW31. Cheers!

    2. Athletic Bilbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      It’s not obviously a blank, fixtures could be played that midweek, although it’s rare for that to happen

  18. Diamondgeezer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Chelsea and United have the best defenses in the league. Liverpool and city have the best attack. I checked today and it would be possible for me to build a team of 1 Gk, 4 Def from United and Chelsea. 5 Mids and 1 Fwd from City and Pool. Then make up the final subs from cheapest playing Fwds, Gk and Mid.
    Is this madness?

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years

        • 6 Years

        Can't do it with Kane I think. He would be the only one I would really miss I think.

    I would ideally like more city and a chelsea defender. However I can not afford both. Which do you think then more essential for now.

    City or Chelsea
    KDB or Alonso.

    KDB would be at the expense of son and Alonso at Mee's expense. Am I overthinking this. Would you suggest to just hold.

    2.6m itb 1ft

    Alonso's returns are very hard to ignore despite KDB seeming like the more attractive option.

        You have a good team apart from defence, I would also get rid of DCL for Ayew or similar

    Depoitre+Christensen+Richarlison >> C.Wilson+Alonso+King(bench fodder)

    Fabianski
    Masuaku • Otamendi • Alonso
    Son • Salah • Sterling • Arnie
    Kane • Aguero(C) • C.Wilson

    (Elliot / Duffy / Kiko / King)

      Yay

      6 years, 3 months ago

      Like the Agüero captain, we all know what happened last time.

      Shift Fabianski?

      Depoitre to Wilson looks ok, but wait for Niasse news - 4.8 is a bargain

      Alonso looks like a must have so that is fine.

      King and Kiko = problem?

      Any thoughts on my team?

    I hate it when you realise you have the exact money for a transfer you're not sure you want and tomorrow it might be 0.2 out of reach.

    Christensen & DCL -> Wilson & Alonso for -4?

    WC active....what do you think?

    Ederson - Elliott
    Mustafi - Alonso - Shaw - Ogbonna - Hunemier
    Pogba - Sterling - Salah - Arnie - Doucoure
    Kane - Firminho - Crouch

    Other debate is:

    Ederson + Shaw + Alonso or De Gea + Otamendi + Luiz?

    Thanks!

      Shaw not nailed now Young back. Mustafi no on recent Arsenal form. Not a good bench. Lingard still better value than Pogba if base on more than last game. Only worthwhile premium GK over or 5.5 is DDG

    Can anyone suggest how I best use my 2FT (£0) in the bank:

    Fabianski
    Otamendi / Mee / Masuaku
    Salah / Sterling / Arnie / Alli
    Kane / Firmino / Morata

    Elliot / Kabasele / Mee / RLC

      Has to be Morata to Alonso for me
