Arsenal and Tottenham were both rebuffed in their attempts to sign Southamptonโ€™s World Cup star Morgan Schneiderlin this summer and hanging on to the French midfielder has proven crucial to the Saintsโ€™ ascent under new boss Ronald Koeman.

The 10.7% of Fantasy Premier League managers who have backed Schneiderlin have seen a phenomenal return from the central midfielder, who has chalked up 29 points in his last three appearances, courtesy of a trio of goals and four bonus points.

In our next membersโ€™ article of the week, we turn to the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) tables in order to assess Schneiderlinโ€™s progress from the previous campaign under Mauricio Pochettino.

For the unfamiliar, these KPI tables are designed to use a series of key stats to allow our members to track form or changes in player performance. By tracking the frequency of certain key statistics and comparing them over two separate periods of time, we can ascertain whether a player’s form has improved or declined. As mentioned in last summerโ€™s introductory article, weโ€™ve rolled out a preview movie which shows just how to get the best out of the KPI tables.

By comparing this season to last, we should be able to get an indication as to how he will be utilised in Koemanโ€™s new-look side and determineย whether his high points return so far could be sustainable. By also referencing the Comparison Tool and season totals, we get a better indication as to how he fared:

    You still have Hazard?

      I don't actually.
      Phew.

    2. Warning Hazard ahead
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Never did. Started the season with Fab and still going strong with him.

      1. Lucky boy
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Same Here Fab was a steal at 9m compared to Hazard at 10m,
        Looks even better after 4 weeks

    3. Goodnight Kiwi

      Yip. Season long keeper

    Why has the Sunderland defence been so shit this year?

    Trying to decide between Mannone and Schmeichel...

    1. Walsh
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Poyet trying to make them a more expressive club rather than eek out a point by scrapping at every inch and corner of the pitch. Reckon he's trying to take them to mid-table rather then enter into the season expecting a relegation battle, which in my opinion is folly, as their roster is pretty rubbish. They also have had dreadful opening fixtures, and if memory serves, not a single good home fixture yet.

    2. Acquafresca
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Schmeichel for me.

      Sunderland have been awful, Leicester have been decent.

  3. Piggs Boson

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29206490 ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

    Only because he still has 6 years on his contract and it would cost too much £££ to fire him...

  4. Mane Of Steel
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Doing hazard to fab next gw I think. Hazard will be a fantasy powerhouse still as he has played in epl and on an attacking role. Fabregas unreal start. Just hope he can keep going

    1. Warning Hazard ahead
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I hope they get to the same price so we can pick and choose between them with a FT as Hazard can be a season changer with 20 point GWs sometimes, like Villa at home haha.

  5. Warning Hazard ahead
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Relegation thoughts this year?

    20. QPR
    19. WBA
    18. SUN

    Imo.

    Close for NEW and CPL with Burnley the new Palace/Stoke.

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      SUN > Newcastle. Agree on QPR and WBA

      1. Warning Hazard ahead
        12 years, 1 month ago

        On paper NEW should definitely finish ahead of SUN was my thinking. Their actions however tell a completely different story.

    2. BeachBadger
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I reckon Palace will go down QPR, WBA, CPL

  6. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    How many goals will Newcastle ship this weekend?

    1. Warning Hazard ahead
      12 years, 1 month ago

      2, both to Hernandez.

    2. NASL Shootout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Hoping for clean sheet. ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. Mane Of Steel

    Poor qpr. Up down up down XD

  8. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Another week of saving a free transfer makes this place redundant ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Scrabbling about like raggedy baggedy rag-a-muffins. Shame on you on you all, night night DZ. ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. Joggers Nipple
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Morning DZ

    bench dilemma ahead. Need to drop one of-

    Di Maria Fabregas Siggy Sterling Ramsey
    Costa Rooney Naismith

    Im pretty set on starting Naismith. So

    A Fabreagas
    B Ramsey
    C Sterling

    To the bench?

    My current thinking is B, Ramsey

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I'd bench Naismith ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Joggers Nipple
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, dont know why but have a 'feeling'. probably wrong!

    2. fedolefan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Fabregas

      1. Joggers Nipple
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, he was my first chioce. its close

    3. Warning Hazard ahead
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I agree with Ramsey out of those three but still think he'll score more than Naismiths 2 points.

    4. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I have same dilemma and benching Naismith (at least as of now) RMT says Fab should be benched, but given his form i find it nearly impossible to bench him. Ramsey is my only other option.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Fab vs Ramsey is my choice really. Was on Fab. Its close!!!

    5. Always (C)ane
      12 years, 1 month ago

      A or B

      not C

      1. Always (C)ane
        12 years, 1 month ago

        maybe Naismith if he played 90 min in europa league

        1. Joggers Nipple
          12 years, 1 month ago

          true, will watch for that

    6. Jay_
      12 years, 1 month ago

      B but sooner or later the real Villa will show their selves, what's the point in having a 9 m +player to bench , it's only Villa, but I also understand your cheapo in form 3rd forward ain't gonna get many better fixtures , A and C our the equation imo, Ramsey or Naismith

  10. Jay_
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this ?
    Mccarthy
    Clyne Moreno Bertrand
    Siggy Sterling Di Maria(v) Fab
    Welbeck Aguero (c) Costa
    Bego Hutton Boyd Moore
    * Captain and vice c right choices ?
    *Double saints away + versus siggy not right ?
    *Start Mccarthy whats to lose ?
    *Do I need Ivanovic back ?

    1. Joggers Nipple
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Capt choice yes, vice maybe Siggy? doesnt really matter i guess
      One Saint away for me, drop in Hutton, you never know
      McCarthy, cant decide. Not sure if QPR have better potential for clean sheet than Stoke even if home
      Ivan, no. you look fine.

      1. Warning Hazard ahead
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I would swap C and VC.
        Ivan is far greater than Clyne and Moreno even with the extra 1.5 mil.

        1. Jay_
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Got the Arsenal away game at Leicster fresh in my head , captained Ramsey , emotionally scarred to much to walk that path again ๐Ÿ™‚

      2. Jay_
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for feedback , what 1 to bench, sods law will bench the one who scores ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. NATSTER
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Another 0.1m rise of Naismith just made it perfect to part company with him next week. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    1. NATSTER
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Too bad that Duff already rose 0.1m before I buy him though.

    2. rickardinho
      12 years, 1 month ago

      my thoughts too, though ill ptobably keep him yet

  12. nolicnosnhoj
    12 years, 1 month ago

    A)Costa,Haz,Iva
    B)Costa,Fab,Iva
    C)Costa,Haz,Fab

    1. Warning Hazard ahead
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I have B but C would work as long as Chelsea are scoring 2-4 a game. Can't afford to leave out Fab.

    2. rickardinho
      12 years, 1 month ago

      b

    3. crteer
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Gotta have Fab, and then you would be silly to pick Haz alongside him with other better midfield options from other teams for variety and coverage.

      Therefore, if you're going with three Chelsea, I would say B is your best option.

      1. nolicnosnhoj
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Im just feeling a Hazard explosion but I guess he might just play a different role on the team this year.

    4. Joggers Nipple
      12 years, 1 month ago

      B

  13. Randy_Marsh
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Is Rooney the conservative capt pick this week? I think Costa will be a nightmare for city on Sunday, and they've been fairly piss poor so far, Arsenal put 2 past them and could have been more

    1. rickardinho
      12 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    2. -KocH-
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Costa it is then

      1. Randy_Marsh
        12 years, 1 month ago

        ๐Ÿ™‚

    3. Randy_Marsh
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Let's not forget Liverpool dominated in the first half there too, I don't think they're the same force this season. Bayern missing a bucketload of players should have put 3-4 past them only for Hart

  14. rickardinho
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Best defender under 6.0 (other than Lovren, Clyne, or Chambers)?

    1. Warning Hazard ahead
      12 years, 1 month ago

      ShawX, Bertrand or Naylor

    2. crteer
      12 years, 1 month ago

      N. Taylor?
      Bertrand?
      Shawcross?
      Cissokho even, but they have a poor run.
      Duff for very cheap option.

      1. rickardinho
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I would make the trade in order to upgrade Caulker, and imo only Bertrand, Shawcross, and Moreno would be, along with also having strong fixtures. The downside being that any of those 3 would be doubling up in my defense. Hopefully another candidate presents himself this weekend.

    3. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Naylor since you don't want to double up ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Twelve years a slave
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Still think Moreno a great option

        1. Twelve years a slave
          12 years, 1 month ago

          if you got pool already then Rafael

          1. rickardinho
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Rafael a rotation risk with Valencia though surely? Or even Young for that matter. Not sure about putting my trust in LVG for now as he could spring a surprise or two.

        2. Randy_Marsh
          12 years, 1 month ago

          He looks quality, Riise mark II

          1. rickardinho
            12 years, 1 month ago

            He's like Riise but with more pace and technique. Gonna be an absolute monster this season already. Spain's LB at Euro 2016...

            Most tempted by him out of all these options actually.

            Moreno>Bertrand>Shawcross.

            1. rickardinho
              12 years, 1 month ago

              Not sure I want to be biting off my fingers in the coming weeks when watching Liverpool games however.. its bad enough hoping for a win and one CS for Lovren!

    4. Piggs Boson
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Rafael or Rose imo

      1. Twelve years a slave
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Wish i had Rafael, am stuck with Evans

        1. Piggs Boson
          12 years, 1 month ago

          At the time of your WC LvG was playing 3 CBs though, and Rafael wasn't playing. Reasonable decision, just unlucky with the timing.

          I wish I could fit Rose into my draft, I like his attacking threat. http://i.imgur.com/oqHFvFE.png?1

      2. rickardinho
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Rose isn't nailed yet. He could easily lose his place to Davies any game now.

        1. Piggs Boson
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Poch has always said Davies was brought as competition for Rose.

          It seems clear now that Davies will play in cup matches. Spurs are in a fair few competitions.

    5. Shifty
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Would get one of the Stoke lads. Quite surprised by some of their defensive stats so far.

  15. Twelve years a slave
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Rio falling has added another .1 to my wildcard profit, would of still been in my team

    1. Sadio

      The season of TriggerLips continues

    2. Piggs Boson
      12 years, 1 month ago

      My aim is to beat you again this season. I've got a long way to go...

      1. Twelve years a slave
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Hapefully if you do, then you have very good rank

        1. Randy_Marsh
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Why are you taking out Sterling?

          1. Twelve years a slave
            12 years, 1 month ago

            When his price looks like dropping, so he has about two weeks to do something

  16. Warning Hazard ahead
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Did anyone see Terrys left footed wonder goal this morning?

    1. rickardinho
      12 years, 1 month ago

      .. after a foul. Just like Chelsea's goal. What an absolute shambles that the referee allowed their goal to stand

  17. -KocH-
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Seems like I'm the only one sticking with haz? All the other team in my league has fab so I just wanted to be diff, the high chance of explosion plus peno duties just did it for me

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Based on what I have seen, the underlying stats and pens which you mention, if forced to bet then I would bet on hazard out scoring fab for the remainder of the season.

      1. -KocH-
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you that's really reassuring

      2. rickardinho
        12 years, 1 month ago

        he might outscore him, but fab was still originally 10% cheaper ๐Ÿ˜‰

    2. nolicnosnhoj
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I still have Haz but Im starting to wonder if Costa will take his share of the goals this year

      Congrats

  20. Not Irish
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Is it the end of the line for this season's golden boy? Hasn't played against a defender the quality of Kompany all season. Continues to flirt with a hamstring pull and there's alway potential for a sending off as well. Nearly everyone calling him essential on the back of four games in which he's scored some very pedestrian thanks to shocking defending. Will be some fallout when he blanks or worse sees red. I wonder what everyone will say then? It will happen. He can't keep this pace up.

    1. haroldhammond
      12 years, 1 month ago

      depends on who you are talking about

      1. Twelve years a slave
        12 years, 1 month ago

        No im still doing well ๐Ÿ˜€

      2. Walsh
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Costa

    2. Randy_Marsh
      12 years, 1 month ago

      The same defence that could have conceded 4 tonight only for Harts heroics, 2 against Arsenal which could have been more, shaky against Liverpool and a poor Newcastle gave them a game.

      City hav been unconvincing so far.

      1. Twelve years a slave
        12 years, 1 month ago

        It really dosent matter if he is sent off, we all own him anyway

      2. Not Irish
        12 years, 1 month ago

        True. But Kompany can mark any forward out of the game on his day. And I don't see him getting any soft goals this week, which has been his MO. People going on and on about Di Maria's fluke results yet Costa has raked them in.

      3. kiwi_pool
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Bayern were missing some key player this morning (NZ time) too, could have been much worse for City.

        Right now you're better off owning him than not owning him. Simply ride the form players, even better those with good fictures too.

    3. Joggers Nipple
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I agree it will interesting to see him vs a 'good' defense and players like Komp who will give as good as they get. He will of course blank at some point of the season and peoples reactions will be panicked i recon.But hey, im a glass full kind of person. Lets imagine the reaction if he scores two this week

    4. Jay_
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Think your right sooner or later the run has to end but not the end of the line, only worth transferring out if 3 match suspension or injury , worth keeping all season will be top overall scorer I think

      1. Not Irish
        12 years, 1 month ago

        And when he's sent off it will most definitely be a 3 match ban for violent conduct. Not being smug as I've missed out on lots of points mainly due to worry over his injuries so far. But he should've been sent off last week and could've been against Everton as well.

        1. Jay_
          12 years, 1 month ago

          No your right about the sending off its inevitable , just get someone else in for the games his suspended for when it happens , he played quite a lot last season barely missed a game (so I'm told) I think even if he misses a few games through suspension will still be top fpl points scorer

    5. Piggs Boson
      12 years, 1 month ago

      This could be the weekend he earns 'captain every week' status.

      1. haroldhammond

        this

        1. Twelve years a slave

          Torn between him and Rooney ---again

      2. Joggers Nipple

        Thats the way i am looking at it Giggs

      3. theloveburglar

        that wildcard team is lookin pretty tasty btw gb

        1. Piggs Boson
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers ๐Ÿ™‚

          Captaincy is difficult this week though!

          1. theloveburglar
            12 years, 1 month ago

            it is although there doesnt appear to be one stand out option so a punt wouldnt be the worst idea

      4. Randy_Marsh
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Yep I'm thinking the same.

      5. theloveburglar
        12 years, 1 month ago

        hope he blanks in that case

    6. theloveburglar
      12 years, 1 month ago

      u can knock him all you want but the fact is he has taken to the english game like a duck to water and if i was a betting man id lay a serious amount of money on costa being in ur team by next week..

      1. Not Irish
        12 years, 1 month ago

        If he does the business this week I'll have no choice. Already made transfers preparing for it TBF.

        ๐Ÿ˜†

        1. Not Irish
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Which inevitably means he'll be sent off the next week. ๐Ÿ˜†

        2. theloveburglar
          12 years, 1 month ago

          haha read u like a book mate

          1. Not Irish
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Well I've already said as much umpteen times so not much reading necessary really guy

      2. Piggs Boson
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Costa will win the Golden Boot if he stays injury free, I'm sure.

        1. Twelve years a slave
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Falcao could catch him

          1. Amateur Pundit Zan
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Anything possible but 7 goals is a sizeable head start

            1. crteer
              12 years, 1 month ago

              Suarez with a seven match ban still caught up.

              1. Amateur Pundit Zan
                12 years, 1 month ago

                It's unusual something like that happens but not impossible

                Costa injury and it's game on, however.

        2. Not Irish
          12 years, 1 month ago

          That's a large assumption based on a small sample size.

            It's just my opinion.

            Chelsea look strong this year, and he is the focal point.

            Falcao will not be a lone striker but I still think he'll contest with Costa.

            1. Not Irish
              12 years, 1 month ago

              No he's a good shout. It's just that he's had the rub of the green in every way so far. And football's a funny game. That can change quickly.

            Seeing as the book makers have Costa at even odds to win the golden boot & the next closest is Aguero at 4½:1; I'd say they're pretty confident in that small sample size too...

            Sturridge 12:1
            Rooney 14:1
            Falco 16:1

            1. Not Irish
              12 years, 1 month ago

              What's Aguero at?

              1. crteer
                12 years, 1 month ago

                4.5 : 1

                1. Not Irish
                  12 years, 1 month ago

                  Christ. The internet has ruined me reading.

        3. Mull
          12 years, 1 month ago

          I think Aguero has a very good chance if he also stays injury free.

          1. theloveburglar
            12 years, 1 month ago

            wonder what odds you would get on that ๐Ÿ™‚

            1. Mull
              12 years, 1 month ago

              There's no chance he actually stays injury free though so it's all hypothetical ๐Ÿ™‚

    7. The Finnisher
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Even if he doesn't score it's not the 'end of the line'.

      You are just trying to convince yourself you are right in not having him. ๐Ÿ˜†

      1. Not Irish
        12 years, 1 month ago

        It's getting to the point where I have to hope for a sending off while everyone else has him to justify all the points I've missed out on.

        ๐Ÿ˜†

        1. Walsh
          12 years, 1 month ago

          I don't have him either. He can sod off.

          1. Not Irish
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Will be loathsome bringing him in. Just got rid of Suarez and now have to put up with this mong.

            1. Walsh
              12 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah. Ugh.

        2. Amateur Pundit Zan
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Id be top of the league if I counted all the points I have missed out on.

          You still need to get him in next week though.

          I'm considering Blackett next week, need a 4.5m defender for 2 weeks. I assume you approve

          1. Not Irish
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Will do most likely. And yeah, I don't see him being dropped. Especially with Jones out.

    8. Najoman86
      12 years, 1 month ago

      You'd anticipate a fairly open game, given the results to date for both sides. I'm actually quite comfortable going in to this GW with both Aguero & Costa on field. I expect goals at the Etihad.

      City's last 3 - loss/draw/loss in all comps. Their game against Chelsea this weekend almost becomes must-win, doesn't it?

      1. Randy_Marsh
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Don't forget Mourinho likes nil-nil draws at the start of a season against rivals just hope it doesn't end up that way. They have a great advantage at the moment so City must be under some pressure to close the gap

    9. Willis.
      12 years, 1 month ago

      You're right. If he blanks this week, I'll have to ditch him ASAP. I can't afford to have a striker in my team who doesn't score 2 goals every week.

      1. theloveburglar
        12 years, 1 month ago

        lol

  21. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 1 month ago

    So my differential players this week or Di Maria, Caulker, and Henderson.

    Hope captain Rooney does the business.

  22. Piggs Boson
    12 years, 1 month ago

    This game needs more Walcott. It's been too long.

    1. Sadio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      My advice is, don't worry about it. Don't select an Arsenal defender, they've been out of sorts defensively so far this year.

      Mertesacker has been particularly woeful. Arteta has been his usual, unathletic self.

      Avoid at all costs imo.

      1. Piggs Boson
        12 years, 1 month ago

        But Chambers is only 4.5m and I'm on a WC...

        1. Sadio
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 1 month ago

          If you're stashing for week 8 onwards, I suppose it looks a little more optimistic.

        2. Mull
          12 years, 1 month ago

          They spent 16m on Chambers. If he's fit he will play ahead of Bellerin.

      2. OShaughnessy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Huh?
        Arsenal are in the Top 5 in most defensive categories.
        Most impressively they've only conceded 9spg.
        To not grab a nailed on £4.5mil defender in that backline would be missing out on some serious value.

        1. Mull
          12 years, 1 month ago

          How long is Debuchy out for?

          1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
            12 years, 1 month ago

            2-3 months reportedly...

            1. Mull
              12 years, 1 month ago

              Chambers in for Chester then.

          2. OShaughnessy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            12 years, 1 month ago

            We've been hearing two mths.
            Although, if he plays well there's no reason he can't win the job, right?

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

      nah calum will start ๐Ÿ™‚

    3. Piggs Boson
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers all. I like to check everything.

  23. The Finnisher
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Funny reading a few of the comments from earlier when Aguero was on the bench.

    Owners saying it's good he's rested.

    Non-owners saying he is being wrapped in cotton wool and isn't a good sign for the future.

    Fwiw, I did predict Dzeko was gonna start alone up top and received mixed reviews ๐Ÿ˜‰

    1. Walsh
      12 years, 1 month ago

      No matter what a players name is if you own him in FPL and he is playing a competitive match that is not in the league it is a worry. Ramsey owners were probably just as happy when he got subbed off even though he looked like rubbish when he did play. It's all about avoiding injury in non-league games.

      1. Not Irish
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Not to mention the fact that he'll be that much more motivated at the weekend after being dropped for a big match midweek.

        1. Walsh
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Wouldn't read that much into it, mate. He scores when he wants ๐Ÿ™‚ They all know how important this fixture is.

    2. theloveburglar
      12 years, 1 month ago

      i honestly think pelle knew that even with aguero starting they were more than likely gunna get beaten by munich and decided to keep him fresh and ready for chelsea.. a game that even at this early stage is huge and much more important right now..

      1. The Finnisher
        12 years, 1 month ago

        He did the same away to Bayern last season, Dzeko on his own with Aguero on the bench, and again the season before away to Dortmund.

    3. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      12 years, 1 month ago

      with kun its always a good thing - delays the inevitable injury ๐Ÿ˜‰

  24. Rolls-Royce

    This week's the week Caulker will score right?

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      12 years, 1 month ago

      is what the last few who kept him will be saying before gw38 ๐Ÿ˜‰

      1. Shifty
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Nah, not because I own him...but because I just sold him. Murphy's/Sod's Law whatever you wanna call it

  26. Walsh
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Start McCarthy over Courtois this weekend?

    1. Sadio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't.

      1. Walsh
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers.

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

      not for me - if you are willing to spend the money on courtois, you play him ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Walsh
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Thinking this. It's just the worst fixture they have all year :\

      2. Walsh
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Who are you capping this weekend AR?

        1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
          12 years, 1 month ago

          been switching between Sterling and Ramsey - I have no idea ๐Ÿ˜€

          1. Walsh
            12 years, 1 month ago

            Hah - okay then ๐Ÿ™‚

    3. Willis.
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea will keep a clean sheet

      1. Mull
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Hard to score against 8 at the back.

      2. Walsh
        12 years, 1 month ago

        As they will do every weekend, 'eh Willis......

  27. FantasTic
    12 years, 1 month ago

    Chambers or Taylor for WC team?

    1. Danny x-factor
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Taylor for me

  28. Piggs Boson
    12 years, 1 month ago

    GW7 is a shitter for my defence.

    Baines[mun] - Rafael[EVE] - Chambers[che] - Duff[lei] - Hutton[MCY]

    .
    Worth getting Moore[BUR] instead of Hutton in my WC? I like Villa's defence a lot, but they have a shocking run of fixtures.

    1. Mull
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. That's probably the only week you'll need cover from you cheap defenders.

      1. Piggs Boson
        12 years, 1 month ago

        I think I will, cheers.

        I will lose 0.1m on Hutton, but meh...

    2. Torreslove
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 1 month ago

      if you're gonna keep hutton till gw 7 then might as well stick with him because after that his fixtures ease up.If you want to take him out then its best done now.

    3. Walsh
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Baines pen, Rafael assist, Duff cleanie. I don't see a problem ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. Mull
        12 years, 1 month ago

        2-2 in both games with Baines getting booked. There's your reality.

        1. Walsh
          12 years, 1 month ago

          From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. Thanks Mull ๐Ÿ™

      2. Piggs Boson
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm, getting Moore would actually cause a selection headache then ๐Ÿ˜€

  29. Not Irish
    12 years, 1 month ago

    If I were to WC right now, this would be my team...

    Heaton Hamer

    Bertrand Blackett Naylor Duff Moore

    AdM Fabregas Lamela Siggy Boyd

    Aguero Costa Roon

    1. Mull
      12 years, 1 month ago

      Trying to work out if this is a joke or not...

      1. Walsh
        12 years, 1 month ago

        If Blackett is in you know he's deadly serious ๐Ÿ˜€

      2. Piggs Boson
        12 years, 1 month ago

        Same. Having Hamer over Gilks is bemusing me more than Blackett.

        1. Not Irish
          12 years, 1 month ago

          Is it now.
