The Gameweek continues with a tussle that has all the credentials of a fixture that Match of the Day would schedule last as Burnley make the trip to the Hawthorns to face West Brom.

The majority of Fantasy managers look set for an afternoon off, then, treated to 90 minutes with little at stake and a potential scouting mission of the budget market.

Burnley, with just a single league goal and three consecutive clean sheets, will come under the microscope. With bargain buys back-to-front, we’ll be assessing their suitability as their schedule eases over the month ahead.

As for West Brom, they are notoriously a no-go zone for Fantasy managers: Alan Irvine’s “revolution” currently boasts little to interest us, bar an array of low-to-mid price differentials that only the brave would consider. Will today’s encounter change that outlook?

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Guys

    Zaha is my current 5th mid.

    Other MIDs are
    Siggy Fabs Sterling ADM

    A)Save FT
    Or
    B)ditch for Jedinak/Lamps/Roddy?

    Thanks

    Come on Duff!!

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      B) ditch Zaha for Jedi or Bolasie. Its what I did this week and then Jedi trolled me with 10 points from my bench 🙠Zaha wont get in the team with the form Bolasie and Puncheon are in right now, Jedi is nailed on and takes pens for us, Bolasie is coming into the kind of form that made Liverpool take notice last season.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Cool.
        I like that Bolasie call.
        Yeah defo him or Jed I think 🙂

    Don't understand guys complaining about the UFPL game.

    A "little alertness" over the weekend is all you need . No need for countless Rooney to who questions and should I wc with this etc.

    For all those that don't enjoy - many here do enjoy , Im one even though Im doing better in FL .

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I like it well enough but if you miss one deadline that's pretty much it. I'd prefer it if you could set your subs in advance. Perhaps you could set score thresholds for your MD1 players, and if they don't get there then your MD2 players sub in, and so on. As it is it's too hands-on.

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I like it myself.
      Its great to have the option to sub out players if they haven't started or performed
      And being able to change your captain is a bonus 😉

    1. In Like Flynn.

      Yes?

        Hahaha!!! Top Piano Player, name of Erroll Garner.

  4. Death
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    9 points from duff is ever so welcome

  5. VRP
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Best MID other than ADM and Sterling?

  6. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Lloris

    Kompany Betrrand Wilson

    Fab ADM Sterling Siggy

    Costa Welbeck Rooney

    Subs: Krul Wisdom Naylor Cork

    What would you do with Rooney here? 1FT, 0 ITB.

    1. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Kompany and Rooney > £4.8m DEF & Aguero?

    2. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Rooney to Pelle? Use funds to upgrade a midfielder

      1. Ady87
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        0.1m short on Rooney & Siggy to Pelle & Silva

        ðŸ™

        1. AgentRed
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Difficult. In which case probably your first suggestion. Chambers for 4.5 perhaps? Arsenal's fixtures ease up a bit now

          1. Ady87
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah Monreal meant to be back for the next game so bit worried there with Chambers.

            Might just do Rooney > Pelle or Dzeko and leave the extra cash in the bank.

            1. AgentRed
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 6 months ago

              It can come in handy. I did Dzeko>Ulloa last week which turned out to be bad timing, but the 3m ITB came massively in handy this week and saved me facing a -8 hit.

  7. Edmond
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Any ideas whether Rambo will drop by tomorrow? Can't afford to take a price drop

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I'm in the same boat. Might be forced to make my trades later.

  8. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Afternoon lads.

    Thoughts on the filling trades for -8

    Terry, Rambo, Rooney > naylor, ADM, aguero

    Need to do all three trades to raise required funds.

    1. Edmond
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Honestly, seems like good moves all around. Just not sure about the -8 needed

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Don't like the -8. Can you do Aguero + Tadic (or Mane if you're short)

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I could do

        Rooney and Rambo > welbeck and ADM

        Can't get tadic as already have 3 saints.

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          I actually prefer the -8 then!

          1. super zlatan
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            Hmm. Cheers. Will need to pull the trigger tonight it seems.

            Will I just go for it?

            1. RoysCallerAnne
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 6 months ago

              I think so, yes.

    3. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Hiya SZ
      I'd be cautious about getting Aguero in before UCL, especially if it's for -8. Can't afford any injuries after taking such a pts hit.

      Personally I'd keep Terry and just do Rambo+Rooney ---> ADM+Welbz. Good fixtures for Danny from gw8, nailed-on striker for a top 4 team.. too good value to miss out on IMO.

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers Kerz. Will consider this.

      Didn't you learn anything from Liverpool yesterday? Alberto M's story...

      1. @FPL_Salah
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        This is guaranteed though

  12. @FPL_Salah
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Duff looking absolutely essential.

    1. Colonel Shoe è‚æ± 
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      wish id got him ages ago, feels late now

      1. @FPL_Salah
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Captain material every week.

  13. caio89
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Had to take my first -4 of the season, Ramsey & Rooney -> di María and Welbeck. Now have the funds to upgrade Sigurdsson to Sterling soon 🙂

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I will be taking my first -4 too 🙠The Ramsey + Rooney show sucked big time.

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Done Rooney out , but would you do Ramsey out for a - 4 for any Mid

        Or

        Just play Clyne

        WC following GW .

        1. AgentRed
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Play Clyne

        2. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Just play Clyne if you are WCing the following week. You will lose 0.1 though on Ramsey ðŸ™

  14. A Defender's Nightmare

      Demi said earlier he was due to play there.

      1. A Defender's Nightmare
        • 13 Years

        That's why I asked. Not watching the game. Cheers. 🙂

  16. owls on the up
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Hi anyone here played the new pes15 demo on ps4 its awesome ive not enjoyed a footy game like this since fifa 10 think its time for pes to reclaim its crown, especially as fifa has been the same boring crap for the last few years!

    1. @FPL_Salah
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I hope SO. Pro evo was the best for a while then FIFA took over had to go to the dark side .

      Would love to come back

      1. owls on the up
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Me to i was pro evo from pro evi 98 to 2009 then had to switch fifa 🙠this seriously is one of best pes ever imo, not sure if its different last gen but if u got a ps4 u gotta give it a try!

    2. J0E
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I hope it's good. Pes 14 was dire. Overly complicated . I mainly play pes 12 still. Great gameplay.

    3. Colonel Shoe è‚æ± 
      • 14 Years

      never been able to get into footy games on ps3............... like fighting games, i have no skill and just end up button mashing 😕

  17. Keno
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Duff or Taylor?

  18. flippetyflop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Which one of these midfielders is it best to sacrifice to free up Aguero funds??

    Di Maria/ Sterling/ Fabregas

    1. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling or Fab, but I wouldn't sell either. Aguero still pricey for his returns.

      I brought him in yesterday but it was Ramsey and Rooney for the chop, so easy players to sacrifice unlike in your situation.

  19. Colonel Shoe è‚æ±

    I've got Foster, Wisdom and Berahino playing

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      In that case, I'm sure you'd welcome a 0-0 with open arms 😉
