      I must agree with this, one of my fav weeklies

    Quick none CL RMT if you'd please!

    3-5-2

    Manonne (Gilks)
    Ivan Clyne Taylor (Duff, Hutton)
    Di maria Sterling Haz Rambo Siggy
    Pelle Costa (Jutkiewicz)

    Appreciate any kind of constructive feedback 🙂

    1. Mr. Jenkins
      • 9 Years

      Ivan should go out, Tough fixture ahead,

      I have Haz myself but i am i doubts, he doesnt give FPL points, but are such a great player

      1. Kudo Warrior
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Will keep Ivan for now, I have a good bench to rotate him if needed tbh.

        Also sticking with Haz, hopefully he'll come good. He's intent is massively pro points but it's just not converted as of yet.

      I would play Duff over Clyne. Swans v Soton is gonna be a goal fest i think.
      Keep Ivan he is a beast! He is always in the box like a striker lol and Hazard is due a big haul. He hasn't done bad tbh

     Asmir Begovic
     Tom Heaton
     Nathaniel Clyne
     Fabricio Coloccini
     Paul McShane
     Gael Clichy
     Liam Moore
     Eden Hazard
     Ángel Di Maria
     Juan Mata
     Raheem Sterling
     Jonathan Williams
     Wayne Rooney
     Sergio Agüero
     Diego Costa

    I want Ramsey, Pelle, adebayor and herrera. But i just dont know where to turn... i have three transfers!

    Mata, Hazard, Aguero for Pelle, Ramsey, Herrera, or Rooney for adebayor?

    Costa seems like a bad piece to let go, even against City.

    1. Kudo Warrior
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Do not sell Costa.
      I'd say get rid of Kun, he's too pricey to keep hold of now and i'm sure the players you'd pick to replace him would make up the points.

      How can you have 3 transfers? Guess you're taking a hit?

      1. Mr. Jenkins
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I think i have to take the hit this round. Didnt prepare enough sadly.

      How do you have 3 transfers?

      1. Mr. Jenkins
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        YOUR STRANGE!

        No seriusly, i play a wierd ass game, where the number of transfers range from 1-4 each GW. Its random i think. I have 3 this week. And yes, i have a few wierd subs, but this team got me in the top 1% so far.

        1. chrisjdgrady
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          lol you should explain that in the first post

        2. MJ6987
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I see! The team is good apart from a few weird ones. I think your proposed changes could go either way to be honest.

            How are we supposed to offer advice if it is a game we don't know about.
            For all we know you could get points for best hairdo

          Already got bego

    5. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      So would you bench from Robertson, NTaylor, PVA or Clyne??

      1. Red Scout
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        N.Taylor.
        Clyne's got the form & PVA has a good fixture. Newcastle just abject right now so Robertson in with a chance of a cleanie!

      2. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        PVA

    6. x.jim.x
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Krul / McCarthy
      Moreno / Naylor / Ivan / Pieters / Moore
      Siggy / Zaha / Di Maria / Fabregas / Sterling
      Balotelli / Naismith / Diego Costa

      1FT, 0.2 ITB

      Is it worth doing Balotelli > Rooney for a -4?
      Could downgrade Ivan to Baines or ADM to Ramsey for funds?

      Or Naismith > Pelle after downgrading Ivan (again for -4)?

      Sorry for repost - posted just before a new article!

      1. ★FLiPsKiLLz★
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I would keep your Team and wait for 2FT and for now just see if Ivan will do well even against City.

        If this was my team I would do
        Krul
        Moreno, Naylor, Ivan
        Siggy, ADM, Fab, Sterling
        Balo, Naismith, DC

    7. Ser Football 42

      Courtois
      Caulker, Clyne, Shawcros

      To

      Forster
      N. Taylor, Bertrand, Ivan
      ?

    8. MJ6987

      Well, those top two stats have cheered me up!

    9. Evs

      Bony is going to feature in that article next week...

      Most shots, most goals (he bloody wishes !!!!)

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        You still keeping the faith? Surely he has to come good?

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Well, you would like to think so.

          Look at the damn fixtures 😡

          I would get Welbeck if Arsenal fixtures were better.

          1. MJ6987
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            I got Welbeck but if I was doing the transfer now, you'd have to look at Pelle.

      Mbemba up to 4 😎

    11. Enzo the Baker
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Would you take a -4 for a 1 week punt ?

      Chester + Ramsey -> Baines + Chadli , the fixtures for Everton and Spurs look tasty

      1. ★FLiPsKiLLz★
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yes I would

    12. Red Scout
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      How did Sterling play today? I'm worried he doesn't do well with Balo in the team!

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Your concerns are justified based on tonight...

      2. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Pants.

      3. Sweetpea
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        he was essential last week according to some on here

        1. Sweetpea
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          ps Balo is greedier than Studge

        2. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          With 2 goals in 3 games can you blame them?

          1. Sweetpea
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            yes, there is no-one essential except maybe Costa

      4. SmoothRossi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I'm hoping the last two performances will of convinced Rodger's he shouldn't persist with Balo alone up top. I'm expecting Sterling to start vs. West Ham behind a front two, which will improve his FPL returns.

      5. Red Scout
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks all! I might just do Sterling > Rambo this week!

    13. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      anyone for both soton fullbacks at least for next few weeks?

      2 goals against in 4
      fairly cheap
      attacking potential
      crossing to a big man in form

      i have clyne and may get bertrand for terry.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        😯 .. had the same thought below

      2. Benteke10
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I've owned both for a couple of weeks now 😀

    14. Captain Shirokov
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Great article, as usual.

    15. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Last week it was all about Clyne when i was choosing between them.. this week it;s all about bertrand. sigh.. i think next week i'll just get bertrand too alongside clyne 🙂

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I think both are good picks.

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Clyne has more of a goal threat though.. gonna get bertrand in next week/after tottenham for chester. dont wanna take a hit with swansea away

          1. MJ6987
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah, Clyne more of a goal threat but Bertrand more of an assist threat.

        2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          i was lucky enough to get pelles haul last week so getting both rules out a tadic move. and i do like to mix defenders. but this looks too good to pass up short term

          1. Valar(Keith)
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            short term is swansea and tottenham away though.. would rather not double up for those. would love having both for QPR though!

      2. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        actually next week QPR at home could be the perfect time to get Bertrand for a hit.. almost all but guaranteed to atleast even out the hit(considerin i'd have to play crap caulker/chester 🙂 ) .. cant wait

    16. Sweetpea
      • 11 Years

      Debuchy to fall tonight....fiso doesnt think so at the moment.

      Getting young Ryan B.

        do it

    17. Honeybadger
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      52 points, pretty good start. However making 4 changes. Fabiano GK, Neymar, Lewandowski and Behrami in 🙂

    18. JT's Dog
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Same number shots as costa in the box

          1. MJ6987
            • 13 Years

            Not sure, Wenger says that Bellerin is ready as well

          2. Kudo Warrior
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            For a while.
            Yes.

          3. Sweetpea
            • 11 Years

            2/3 months. No but probably will.

          4. Valar(Keith)
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Bellerin started tonight... so no guarantees. better options elsewhere

            1. A guy
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              Chambers is a definite starter, Bellerin only started, because Chambers was sick.

        3. Misery likes Kompany
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Naylor rising?

          1. Sweetpea
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            hope so

            The day after tomorrow probably.

          Any sure fire risers tonight? I know the sites don't work etc.

          1. Pasqualinho
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Di Maria is the one I'd be most confident about.

            1. Valar(Keith)
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              he rose 2 days ago though.. the second price rise seems to take much longer than usual.

              1. Pasqualinho
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 9 months ago

                He's had enough transfers in today alone to kill a small elephant. You could be right, though.

                1. Kudo Warrior
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 9 months ago

            Which premium defender with easy fixtures ahead would you suggest me? Please not from Chelsea, I'm asking this because I wanna get rid of Cahill

            1. Wouter
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              Probably Baines.

            Any ideas on who to replace debuchy with?

            1. A guy
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              Bertrand, N. Taylor, might be Chambers as well, but Arsenal's defence looks unconvincing for now.

            • 12 Years

            Best defender for 4.5 or less?

            I have Naylor and Moore

            1. FF Dirtbag
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              Surely duff has to be one?

                    I like the look of that, only Wilson comes out better of the options I can afford

                    I see your point about Williams but he is too pricey for me

            Zaha or Chadli guys? don't know who to pick Zaha looks good but he is at risk of not playing full 90 mins but Chadli's confidence is sky high due to Pochettino however he also never plays 90 mins -_-
