    Any transfers I should make? 1 FT and 0.6 in the bank.

    Krul (Myhill)
    Vlaar Azpilicueta Clyne (Wisdom Chester)
    Sigurdsson Fabregas Mata Ramsey (Cattermole)
    Jovetic Costa Rooney

    I’m thinking of getting rid of Jovetic and Azpili but for who?

    1. thegaffer82
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Jov > Adebarndoor perhaps

  2. laGan1n1

    Chambes/Moore

    N'Zogbia

    Lamela

    Balo

          1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
            12 years, 2 months ago

            I doubt he will start though...maybe he will come off the bench score and get a yellow then 😉

    I know it's early but any thoughts on these two transfers?

    Caulker + Mata > Ivanovic + Sterling (2FT)

    Have the exact amount of money to do it, so providing Sterling comes through the Spurs game unscathed I might do it before the price changes tomorrow...

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      12 years, 2 months ago

      all hell has broken lose! caulker! IEWGHizshgiwugriku;ezowhtow45to8Y"OQ!*Hh'q1oi2wh

      sounds orgasmic 🙂

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        12 years, 2 months ago

        No doubt he'll score a goal soon, but I think the time is approaching to jump ship... I'll get him back later in the season 🙂

    2. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I would go ahead with them in a heartbeat

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers TFF.

    3. Michaelangelo
      12 years, 2 months ago

      for free, should be good.

      Don't trust QPR nor United.

      Ivanovic is proving his value. Sterling (got him at the moment) is the only one that worries me because of Balotelli. We'll see if Sterling is influenced in any way

      decent transfers in my opinion

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers, hopefully Balo makes Sterling an even better prospect...

    4. Geordienufc1
      12 years, 2 months ago

      They look like 2 very nice transfers indeed. However, I'd be worried about injuries over the international break, not sure if I would be gutsy enough to make the transfers this early.

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers, see my reply to LR below.

    5. La Roja
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Early transfers before Internationals? Wouldnt suggest that

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Yep, it's the only way I'll be able to afford these transfers as a Mata/Caulker price drop or Ivan/Sterling price rise means I'm screwed. It's a definitely a big risk to make transfers before the internationals, but I have Chester (WHU) to come on from my bench if I get an injury.

        1. La Roja
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Its risky, i wouldnt do it

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            12 years, 2 months ago

            Man, I'm torn 😆

            Cheers LR.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              12 years, 2 months ago

              They won't get injured. I asked a friend who's a fortune teller, she said they'd be fine. Lamela, and Hazard are good too.

              1. President John F. Keninnsie
                12 years, 2 months ago

                Ahh that clears that up! 😀

    6. ClassAct

      Go for it! Looks good for free

        Thanks!

      Thumbs up

      1. President John F. Keninnsie

        Thanks UD

    8. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      It's a yes from me. Not sure how Sterling fits into the frame with Balo around, I'd like to see where he plays and his influence on the game before I get him in.

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Could always get a Spurs mid instead but Pool's fixtures are too good to ignore 🙂 Thanks Arvin.

      2. ClassAct
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Probaly 4-1-2-1-2 with Sterling in the hole. Sterling most of his damage last season in the no.10 role, so hope he does it again

    9. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Good moves innsie. Both look like trade ups

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks Zan! How you going?

    10. BeachBadger

      Seems golden

      1. President John F. Keninnsie

        Thanks Badger 🙂

    11. Yankee
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Do it!

  4. Michaelangelo
    12 years, 2 months ago

    51 points despite captaining aguero. very satisfied with that.

    Really need to get rid of Mata though.

    Already got Siggy Sterling Ramsey and Davis and only .4 in the bank

    any ideas?

    taking a look at Fab, Lamela, Eriksen, and Tadic at the moment

    1. cramps
      12 years, 2 months ago

      i'd go with fabregas.

      1. Michaelangelo
        12 years, 2 months ago

        is favorite at the moment. not sure i wanted 3 chelsea players though (cahill an costa). but who am i kidding, hard to ignore fab

        thanks

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Fab.

      1. Michaelangelo
        12 years, 2 months ago

        cheers

  5. Keno
    12 years, 2 months ago

    2 FT:

    Thinking of doing:

    Young-----> JWP
    and
    Rooney-----> Aguero

    Thoughts? Maybe should give Rooney another chance?

  6. OPTA FPL
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Nailsmith nailed on with E'too there? how will they line up when Lukakau, E'too, Mirallas, Nailsmith on the pitch? 2 FW & 2 wingers?

    1. KING KOUNDER
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Thats how they did last 20 mins.

      Dont think so they will be doing everytime though.
      Etoo is for Europa mostly.

      1. Epic Fail
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Source?

    2. Michaelangelo
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I think Lukaku and Naismith are nailed. Etoo for subs. Too early to tell though

    3. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku to be dropped soon, once Martinez realizes how shit he is.

      1. OPTA FPL
        12 years, 2 months ago

        their record transfer 😯
        He's not shit though, he was making space for Naismith, Miralass to score

    4. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      12 years, 2 months ago

      it appears that when Eto'o came on it was like this

      Lukaku Naismith Mirallas
      -------------Eto'o--------------

      1. BeachBadger
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Eto looked good and up for it.

    5. UnderstandablyDistraught
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Naismith playing very well in the middle. I've no worries about him

  7. KING KOUNDER
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Got lost on last page...

    Arnie..Albrig...Mata...Ramsey...Siggy
    Roon...Studge...Costa

    Arnie has to go, 0.8 ITB
    Suggestions pls.

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Henderson, de Jong, tadic

  8. thegaffer82
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Have got Mata and Dzeko stinking my team out. Which one is the priority to move on?
    Mata has QPR at home (if he's not injured) so I'm tempted to keep him for one more, but on the other hand the Jov & Kun partnership failed pretty miserably last night so Dzeko could get a start next GW.

    I'm confused:

    A) Mata > Cesc
    B) Dzeko > Adebayor
    C) Save transfer

    1. KING KOUNDER
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Dzeko 's playing time is the deal breaker here.
      Get him if you're sure he is gonna start.

    2. cramps
      12 years, 2 months ago

      i'd do B. Fixtures and uncertainty of dzeko's gametime being the factors. both are good moves though

    3. Michaelangelo
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Thats really tough. I'm currently looking at A myself but then I again, I already have aguero instead of dzeko.

      I'll look at it this way. I think Dzeko and Adebayor are likely to get similar points (If dzeko gets minutes). However, I expect Cesc to do better than Mata considering how poor United is at the moment. Cesc is the way to go in my opinion.

      Better to wait for tomorrow though. Keep an eye on Adebayor. Could get injured for all we know or have the game of his life

  9. Elniñorules
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

    So much said about Costa yesterday.

    What about Matic eh? Was almost involved in every Chelsea goal. Love that he really steps up his game against good teams.

    1. thegaffer82
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Was very impressive but I don't think I can be bothered to find 0.5 to upgrade Marney to him, and then I don't think I can find a place in my team for him every week. On that basis I will not buy him

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      12 years, 2 months ago

      matic is a simply amazing player

    3. OPTA FPL
      12 years, 2 months ago

      waste a Chesea spot in your team

    4. President John F. Keninnsie
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Love him 😀

    5. UnderstandablyDistraught
      12 years, 2 months ago

      A few players who are essential to blues hopes this year and he's one of them. Majestic player

    6. Michaelangelo
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Fantastic player. wish he was at United. Just what we need

    7. King Nil Miss ✩
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Ramsey/Yaya esque last season! Great potential... Don't believe it!?

  10. TheCurseOfRaheem
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Reassure me this squad doesn't need to be wildcarded.

    Krul, Foster
    Terry, Chester, Pieters, Colo, Naylor
    Fab, Rambo, Eriksen, Siggy, Marney
    Costa, Dzeko, Rooney

    1ft, 0 itb

    Not feeling all too confident over it if I am honest.

    1. RoyaleBlue
      12 years, 2 months ago

      awful team wildcard now! haha just kidding your fine mate

    2. Toonzie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      nah you are fine, save the wc!

  11. BlueIncognito
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Who to transfer in for Azpili and Jovetic? Eto'o/Naismith?

    1. RoyaleBlue
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Etoo likely to be used as an impact sub. Naismith is nailed for now after his recent form

  12. RoyaleBlue
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Only 39 points this week with just Lamela and Ramsey to play. Already down to 2937 will i drop out of top 10k?

    1. Epic Fail
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Probably

      1. OPTA FPL
        12 years, 2 months ago

        source?

        1. Epic Fail
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Barbeque.

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      No

  13. cramps
    12 years, 2 months ago

    is it wrong if i am scared to get naismith as the 3rd striker because i fear it will make me bench points more often than not? i'm currently playing 3-5-2 and fletcher (will soon become vaz te) is so easy to put on the bench each week. if i suddenly get a viable option up top i fear i will do more bad than good to my team

    1. OPTA FPL
      12 years, 2 months ago

      who are yuor 5 mid?

      1. cramps
        12 years, 2 months ago

        fab - mata - eriksen - sterling - siggy

        (mata to become ramsey for GW8)

        1. OPTA FPL
          12 years, 2 months ago

          I think you're wasting money with Mata & Eriksen for 3-5-2
          use money to upgrade Naismith or your def

    2. cramps
      12 years, 2 months ago

      therefore, vaz te is ideal 😉

    3. BeachBadger
      12 years, 2 months ago

      its better to have a good player than a crap player. even if he's on your bench.

      1. cramps
        12 years, 2 months ago

        the logic is sound, but it messes with my head every week 😀

        1. BeachBadger
          12 years, 2 months ago

          😆

    4. ClassAct
      12 years, 2 months ago

      depends on what you think will accrue more points:
      3-4-3 or 3-5-2

      Imo, I personally would go Vaz Te in your situation.

      1. cramps
        12 years, 2 months ago

        thanks. gonna stick it out for now. too much uncertainty for the mid price strikers at the moment. hence all the "jovetic to who"-questions for that third striker spot

      2. ClassAct
        12 years, 2 months ago

        actually* Naismith

        1. cramps
          12 years, 2 months ago

          might just stick him in there and make myself swear not to play him 😆

  14. Amateur Pundit Zan
    12 years, 2 months ago

    I have no idea how to my 2ft. Any suggestions?
    Krul, foster
    Baines, cahill, pva, hutton, wisdom
    Mata, erik, ramsey, ince, wanyama
    Costa, rooney, jovetic

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      12 years, 2 months ago

      No Siggy 😯

      1. Amateur Pundit Zan
        12 years, 2 months ago

        I know, explains my rank doesnt it

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Maybe Mata > Sterling? And get Siggy next week?

    2. JasonG123
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Ince to Siggy, Baines/Cahill to cheaper defender.

      1. Amateur Pundit Zan
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Siggy away to chelsea just feels the wrong week to bring him in

        1. JasonG123
          12 years, 2 months ago

          Well he'll be 0.3m more expensive but I suppose so.

  15. ClassAct
    12 years, 2 months ago

    What was this GW average amongst everyone here?

    1. Epic Fail
      12 years, 2 months ago

      39

    2. Michaelangelo
      12 years, 2 months ago

      That's hard to tell. But if you give me your gameweek points and your bank information, I'll be able to get the average

  16. white lightning
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Current team

    Krul, Elliott
    Terry, Clyne, Chester, Hutton, Moore
    Ramsey, Sterling, Fabregas, Silva, Siggy
    Rooney, Jovetic, Naismith

    Considering a -4 for gw 4:
    Rooney out, Costa in
    Terry out, Ivanovic in

    Will play 3-4-3 with Silva, Hutton & Moore on the bench.

    I could also sway towards a -8 by selling Jovetic & getting Adebeyor or selling Moore & getting Dier.

    I'm wondering when is the best time to do the -4. Soon to avoid price changes or leave until the last minute after the internationals are over.

    1. BlueIncognito
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Spurs fans - will Dier keep on playing? Or would it be a better idea to go with Rose?

      1. white lightning
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah it's an unknown. With the new signing it's expected that Dier could lose his spot but he has been one of the top performers for Spurs. I mean he won the 1st game with a goal & sored in the 2nd. Who knows though.

  17. mindgrapes
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Having a pretty decent week so far, but looking for a way to use my 2 FT's for the week. Will probably make moves after all games are over (TV isn't that big of a concern)

    Begovic, Gilks
    Chester, Debuchy, Naylor, Baird, Clyne
    Sterling Ramsey Fab Siggy Albrighton
    Rooney Costa Dzeko

    1.0M banked.

    Preliminary thoughts are to swap out Dzeko/Rooney to someone cheaper (Naismith?) and upgrade a defender to Ivan/Coleman. Any thoughts and suggestions would be awesome 😀

  18. Deicide
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Cesc, Fabregas and Costa would be too much chelsea?

    1. Deicide
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard**

    2. cramps
      12 years, 2 months ago

      i would pick cesc and costa for now

  19. The Blind Badger
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Worth doing Clyne in for Chambers for a -4. (Planning a Mata to Sterling trade).

    Other defenders are: Terry, Debuchy, Chamber (MCI), Baird (benched) and Hutton(liv)

  20. Toonzie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Would you WC this lot?

    Bego - Gilks
    Jones - Debuchy - Clyne - Colo - Moore
    Ramsey - Mata - Sterling - Siggy - Marney
    Jovetic - Rooney - Costa

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      12 years, 2 months ago

      most certainly not 🙂

    2. Acquafresca
      12 years, 2 months ago

      What's wrong with it?

    3. UnderstandablyDistraught
      12 years, 2 months ago

      No way

    4. Michaelangelo
      12 years, 2 months ago

      no Emma, don't do it!

    5. JasonG123
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Lol team would be pretty much perfect if you went Jovetic to Adebayor and then downgraded either Mata to Lamela.

    6. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Its better than my team and i am not WCing

    7. Toonzie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      thanks guys! saving the wc for rainy days/dgw 🙂

  21. Acquafresca
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone watching Kyrgios vs Robredo?

    Amazing tennis here.

    6-3, 3-6, 5-5

  22. ChampionoftheWorld
    12 years, 2 months ago

    I should have wc earlier, now missed the aguero rise! Angry

    1. Michaelangelo
      12 years, 2 months ago

      only .1

  23. JasonG123
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Got a couple issues with this team now:

    Krul (Elliot)
    Terry Taylor Chester (Hutton, Wisdom)
    Hazard Ramsey Mata Siggy (Marney)
    Costa Rooney Jovetic

    0.2ITB. 1FT.

    Rooney, Mata, Jovetic and Terry are my main issues. What would you do?

    (A) Terry and Mata out. Lamela and Ivanovic in for -4.
    (B) Terry and Hazard out, Fab and Ivanovic in for -4.
    (C) Mata and Jovetic out, Ade and Lamela in for -4.
    (D) Save FT.

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Why is terry an issue? Mata and jovetic out makes sense , though its hard to find the right combo to replace. Ade and lamela a bit too much spurs though i like each individually so msybe it is fine

      1. JasonG123
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. I'll probably just save the FT I think and then do it next week when I have more information. I'm reluctant to sell Mata as well right before a home game to QPR.

        power shift to London for sure. expecting arsenal to be the closest challenger to chelsea.
        man city are just a band of mercenaries lacking any team spirit

          Chelsea 1st
          City 2nd
          Arsenal 3rd

      Really? This week we had a rumour, a snowball of a crash sale(followed by a two goal + baps resurrection) and a wagon crash

        i love it when someone else's wagon burst into flames 😛

        1. UnderstandablyDistraught

          There was something weird about that Costa firesale. It took off so quickly even though there was little evidence to begin with and even when that little evidence was refuted. It was a Jovetic frenzy by then. Epic flames!!!

            People will be lying if they said the sold him 'only' because he was injured. People knew it was best to wait till the press conference and still many who waited that long, still sold him despite him having a very strong chance of starting. Some even misquoted Mourinho in a way which suggested he'd either be benched or not be named at all.

            1. UnderstandablyDistraught
              12 years, 2 months ago

              Exactly but that kind of misleading interpretation was rife from the start. Usually this site reins in stuff like that

          2. cramps
            12 years, 2 months ago

            fueled by the fear of city hammering stoke with jovetic and aguero hatties.

              🙂 the match for the fire

      Things got back to normal! I'm hlad the 5 mid plan is on again, and I can truly say last year was the casual year for sure!

      Safe to say, I'm liking this year more than the last.

        Same

  25. Dr. Rog
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Krul Elliot
    Clyne Janmaat Duff/Wisdom/Hutton
    Sterling Hazard Ramsey Sigurdsson Sánchez
    Jovetic Naismith Agüero
    0.8m

    Jov --> Ade, then good to go?

    1. JasonG123
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Yep, nice team. 😀

  26. BlueIncognito
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Dier or Rose? Sterling or Lamela?

    1. fantasykid
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Dier & Sterling IMO

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Rose and Sterling

  27. Not Irish
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Have the exact funds to do Jovetic & Hazard to Costa & Sterling. 😯

    1. fantasykid
      12 years, 2 months ago

      do it 🙂

    2. Toonzie

      DIOUF DIOUF IS THE MAN

      oh ffs we got rid of him then he scores 🙁

      1. Not Irish
        12 years, 2 months ago

        I would be more upset about it if it didn't mean City dropping points.

        😀

    3. UnderstandablyDistraught
      12 years, 2 months ago

      You'll find 200 more permutations before the next game rolls around

    4. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      12 years, 2 months ago

      its a sign 🙂

    5. cramps
      12 years, 2 months ago

      that's tempting considering costa's "form" and sterling's fixtures

    6. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      12 years, 2 months ago

      Too sideways imo and very knee jerky. What if Sterling blanks again tomorrow?

      1. UnderstandablyDistraught
        12 years, 2 months ago

        but sensible too

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 2 months ago

          No it isn't

          1. UnderstandablyDistraught
            12 years, 2 months ago

            I think it is if they're freebies

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              12 years, 2 months ago

              freebies can be used elsewhere as well and its possible to save a transfer.

              1. UnderstandablyDistraught
                12 years, 2 months ago

                Jovetic could continue to be a good pick but right now there is nothing to say he's nailed after today. Such is the see-saw for any other City forward besides Aguero. Costa is nailed and is also in form. Hazard is the price for this and Sterling is a good choice given upcoming fixtures.

      2. Not Irish
        12 years, 2 months ago

        Would certainly wait until tomorrow. But Hazard yet again didn't take a shot today. Very worried Mou's adjustments are affecting his chances.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 2 months ago

          No need to sell Jovetic. Hazard you can hold. Why the hurry?

          1. Not Irish
            12 years, 2 months ago

            Jovetic is as good as gone. After all that talk from Pelly he left a half fit Kun on and went back to his tried and true combination of Navas and a big man(Dzeko) coming on. I'm done.

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              12 years, 2 months ago

              As good as gone? They said that after GW1 then he scored a brace.

              1. Not Irish
                12 years, 2 months ago

                Yes but unless he scores and/or is looking like MOTM he'll be the first one to get the hook even if he does manage to start. I don't agree with it. I said it was a daft choice when he was subbed and it proved to be in the end. But that's the way it is unfortunately. I'm not interested in that circus. No more City strikers for me.

          2. Billy Gilmore
            12 years, 2 months ago

            Really doubt Jovetic will start against Arsenal. Unless Aguero gets injured. Aguero is always going to play and Dzeko suits Aguero more. Holding Hazard I can understand, but he's not showing much to justify spending the extra over Fabregas/other 9m options.

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              12 years, 2 months ago

              Load of crap. Pelle said last week Jovetic can play with anyone.

              1. Nabs Kebabs
                12 years, 2 months ago

                that was before the performance yesterday.

                kun and jovetic won't be starting together imo, they are too alike, it doesn't work esp against taller defences.

                1. Not Irish
                  12 years, 2 months ago

                  Worst part is that Aguero was poor yet Jovetic still got the hook.

                2. Billy Gilmore
                  12 years, 2 months ago

                  They both operate better as a second striker.

              2. Billy Gilmore
                12 years, 2 months ago

                Did you watch the game? Jovetic was useless and as soon as he was carted for Dzeko they actually had some presence up front.

                1. Not Irish
                  12 years, 2 months ago

                  That's absolute bunk. It was Navas providing width that improved them, slightly. Jovetic was clearly better than Aguero. But the City attackers were just crowding the hell out of each other in the middle of the pitch.

                  1. Billy Gilmore
                    12 years, 2 months ago

                    Don't agree Jovetic was better than Aguero, both equally shit if I'm honest. Yes, Navas provided the spark, but without Dzeko occupying Shawcross/Wilson and providing a target for Navas he wouldn't have done squat. Aguero/Jovetic both kept dropping deep and with Silva and Nasri also drifting centrally they did crowd each other. That's where the target man like Dzeko comes in.

                  You can't make firm conclusions on one game.

                  1. Billy Gilmore
                    12 years, 2 months ago

                    No, you can't, but it's pretty obvious that if you own Jovetic/Dzeko then they need to be carted. Pronto

    Replacement for mata?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Sterling, Fabregas, Spurs Mid, Siggy, Ramsey

      1. Arvin-ation

        Well done on the Ivan pick at the start of the season, Ryan.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 2 months ago

          TBF it only became a plan after I spotted Doosra promoting the idea in pre-season. His plan was to swap him to Baines from GW8 and I liked the idea. After such a spectacular start however I'm not sure I'd want to part with Ivanovic at all.

          1. Arvin-ation
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            12 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah, congratulated him last week. Top pick.
            I wouldn't. His stats are amazing....Terry really off the pace in terms of attacking threat this season. Sometimes, he's not even up to head in a free kick.

  29. mitro
    12 years, 2 months ago

    Might keep Diouf, could be deadly against Leicester

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      12 years, 2 months ago

      he was actually quite terrible tbh.

      comical defending and keeping for the goal.

      1. Not Irish
        12 years, 2 months ago

        This

      2. Nabs Kebabs
        12 years, 2 months ago

        that being said, i may be slightly annoyed i sold for a hit 😛

      3. Billy Gilmore
        12 years, 2 months ago

        And then missed a sitter not long after his goal

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          12 years, 2 months ago

          yeah, i would've scored that. he is kak

      4. mitro
        12 years, 2 months ago

        True but Leicester isn't gonna be that much better 😛

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 2 months ago

      Carpe Diouf

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 2 months ago

      I'd keep him. Had a great record last season and will be full of confidence after his goal.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        12 years, 2 months ago

        he has always looked poor in the pl though.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 2 months ago

          He's worth holding for one more fixture at least I think. See what happens.

  30. Nabs Kebabs
    12 years, 2 months ago

    10:48 30/8 Costa to Jovetic -4

    lol @ self
