    Looking to ship out Moreno and Schniederlin, the question is for who?

    A) Baines & 4.3
    B) Gibbs & up to 6.0 (downing, Henderson)
    C) other
    D) do nothing

    Thanks!

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      B with Hendo- you dont want a 4.3 mid

    2. Indio
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Do you mean a 4.3 def for another hit, or (non-playing) Isgrove?

      1. atwooder
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        4.3 mid - isgrove, Gutierrez

    3. Captain Peacock
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      A if that mid is to be permabenched.

    4. Patty
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      don't take out moreno before QPR

  2. JT's Dog
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Midfield is keeping my game alive

    1. Captain Peacock
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Me too. The funny thing is that it was the reverse last week!

  3. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Please help with 2 transfers.
    A) PVA, Coloccini to Baines, Ivanovitch
    B) Coloccini and Fabregas to Hazard and Baines
    C) Pelle and Coloccini to Aguero and Kaboul

    Thanks!

    1. atwooder
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      A for me

    2. Captain Peacock
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Pelle has good fixtures and I need to see consistency from Hazard. A.

  4. Indio
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Which £9M GK option is best please?

    A: Foster/Schmeichel
    B: Bego/4.0

  5. manutd99
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Di Maria looking like he's a must. Would anyone sacrifice Fabregas for Di Maria

    Get him now or wait till end of international break in case of injuries to anyone

    most of rivals had so catching me up as had no Di Maria

    1. JT's Dog
      11 years, 9 months ago

      What is rest of team? Wouldn't give up fabs

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Can you get rid of someone other than Fab?

      1. manutd99
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        mid - Fab / Sterling / Siggy / Downing / Albright on
        for - Costa / Aguero / Pelle

        Fab is the only player I can get rid of.

    3. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Again, very hard call, I'd look elsewhere of your team to sort

  6. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Bit of help please....

    Many of you will be aware of the site Fantasy football fix, I wasn't until the poster Marr (above) alerted me to this.

    I wanted to do some basic research into looking into this site, but you need to input your FPL password/Email to access their articles (which look/sound very interesting)

    Does anyone know if this is safe? Or should I just avoid?

  7. Sunny 😎
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Tadic > Di Maria

    Yes or No?

    Gives me time to think if I want to wildcard or not..

    1. Barry Woj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I would do this, but make sure you've checked the fixtures. Utd's are hard and Southampton's much easier.

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        I can get him back if I decide on playing my wildcard but ADM looks set to rise and I want him anyway. He has punished me enough

    2. Captain Peacock
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Anyone else you can sell?

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Sterling or Fabregas

        1. Captain Peacock
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 9 months ago

          I'm considering selling Sterling at this point (for Chadli). Good fixtures though.

          1. Sunny 😎
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 9 months ago

            Really good fixtures and Studge coming back could mean an upturn in Sterling's returns

            1. Captain Peacock
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 9 months ago

              Yeah. Maybe Tadic is the odd man out unless you play 5 mids.

              1. Sunny 😎
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 9 months ago

                I've been playing with 5 mids so far but want to switch to 3 strikers now.

                Cheers for the advice Siren! 🙂

    Who would win a fight webber or mourinho?

    1. Van Dal
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Wenger*

    2. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Marc Webber IMO

    3. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      The Big Show would beat both.

    4. atwooder
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Wenger - longer reach, more experience

    5. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Danny Webber.

    6. JT's Dog
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Hard one
      Wenger is undefeated against drinks bottles but lost every fight with big jackets. Jose is somewhere inbetween those

    7. Captain Peacock
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Chris Webber, what a monster even if his knees are shot. He'd destroy The Special One.

      1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        +1, Fab 5 baby

  9. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Begovic, Hamer.
    Baines, Clyne, Ferdinand, Wisdom, Hutton.
    Sterling, Di María, Sigurdsson, Tadić, Albrighton.
    Diego Costa, Agüero, Welbeck.

    Thoughts lads?

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I want your team.

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        500k rank though 🙁

        1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
          • 15 Years

          🙁

    2. Super Silva
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Bqines to Naylor
      To fund Tadic to Cesc

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Nah, not a fan of Fábregas personally.

      2. Captain Peacock
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Don't do this.

    3. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Save or ship Rio

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Was set to do Ferdinand to Chambers 🙁

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Save then and do it next week. Chambers in was my transfer for this week as well and now it's fecked. Got 2 FTs and no idea what to do.

    4. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I'd look at shipping ferdinand as a priority, then maybe albrighton.

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah. I was going to get Chambers but now he's suspended, I don't know what to do.

    5. Captain Peacock
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Ferdinand to Robertson or McNair if he's starting for the next few weeks.

  10. Chris_Fàbregas #DOOS…
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Why did they say that Fabregas shunned a return to Arsenal on MOTD? Surely it was Wenger that said he didn't want Fabregas so it was the other way around??

    1. Captain Peacock
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Because they're talking out of their rear ends. Somehow they get paid well to do so.

      1. Chris_Fàbregas #DOOS…
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        That's saying something when there is no Lawrenson and Hansen! Although I miss them both, even though they did talk shite most of the time 🙂

  11. Footylicious
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Can I please ask where Eric Dier's clean sheet points are?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      He only played 59 minutes

    2. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Got subbed at 59 mins. Needs 60 to get a CS.

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Didn't he come of the bench at 32.

    3. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      He came on after 30 mins

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

      Ask away...

    5. Footylicious
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks for reply guys - new here

  12. Rasping Drive
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Was Di Maria's assist for Falcao's goal a shot? He did something similar for Mata's goal against QPR.

    If it was once, I would say it was a lucky assist. But now, I am not so sure. Thoughts?

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

      Dont mind im an ADM owner lol
      😀

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        I don't mind either. But there's a fair few comments about Di Maria being lucky thus far, and these two assists have something to do with it. Just curious to hear what others think.

    2. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Didn't look like a shot to me.

    3. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I thought it was just terrific vision and a very well executed pass.

  13. joinho
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Any players set to rise or fall tonight?

    1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Depends if their other halves are in the mood.

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      ADM and Clyne supposedly to rise.

    3. Here's the manager
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I'm definitely on the way up!

    4. Footylicious
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Baines - mass rear end hurt exits haha

  14. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Cant keep going without him, get Siggy in for Tadic? Could do with avoiding any potential price increases/decreases.

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah, get Siggy.

  15. Barry Woj
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Is this team so bad it needs a wildcard?

    Begovic Gilks
    Ivanovic Clyne Chester Duff Moore
    ADM Silva Sigurdsson Fabregas Sterling
    Costa Pelle Ulloa

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

      No

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Who do you want out?

    3. Indio
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Definitely not - only pull the trigger if you want completely diff players, but that's a good team already

      1. Barry Woj
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        I guess you're probably right to be honest! I want a new team structure because the benching headache is horrible (sig and Chester on the bench this week...). I'll be patient and save it! Thanks all.

  16. Dynamic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Krul, Foster.
    Baines, Cahill, Naylor, Collocini, Wisdom.
    Sterling, Fabregas, Sigurdsson, Tadić, Marney.
    Diego Costa, Agüero, Naismith.

    1FT; £0.1m in the bank

    What to do?

    1. Captain Peacock
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Collocini to McNair, Robertson or Hutton.

  17. Reeker

    I was quite content with my GW till I saw that red arrow

      Yeah, exact same here

    1. Van Dal
      • 16 Years

      How many transfers you used?

  19. Grumpy Camel
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Ahhh, WC active, feels good.

    Mannone Elliot
    Baines Bertrand Moore Hutton Taylor
    ADM sterling siggy tadic Boyd
    Aguero costa pelle

    Thoughts?

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years

      More like 2 weeks of torture 🙂

  20. Indio
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Thanks for WC feedback earlier: how's this re-draft looking?

    Bego/4.0
    Baines, Azpi, Clyne, Wisdom, Moore
    Fab, Siggy, ADM, Hendo, Boyd
    Aguero, Costa, Welbz

    1. Evans
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah decent

    2. Captain Peacock
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Can you get Chadli in for Hendo?

  21. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Forster (McCarthy)
    Ivanovic Clyne Shawcrosshite (Hutton, Moore)
    Tadic Sterling Cesc Siggy
    Aguero Ulloa Costa

    2 FT
    0.8 ITB

    I want ADM. 🙁

    Suggestions?

    1. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I have exactly the same midfielders and attackers as you. I think I'm going to wait 3 more weeks on Di Maria, his fixtures are tough.

    2. Boz
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Out of your mids i has to be Tadic out. Then will ShawX > Wisdom get you there?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        .1 short

        1. Dynamic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 9 months ago

          ShawX -> Moore?

          1. dr. Phil
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 9 months ago

            he has Moore.

    3. dr. Phil
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Well I don't see another option then Fabregas -> DiMaria. Ideally you'd go ShawX to lets say Wisdom and Tadic - > ADM, but I think you'll be 0,1 short.

    4. Captain Peacock
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      +1 for your description of the cancerous rat Shawcross.

  22. Boz
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    WC Activated.

    Current WC team is on:

    Krulliot
    Clyne - Bertrand - Wilson - Duff - Moore
    ADM - Sterling - Fabregas - Siggy - Boyd
    Costa - Pelle - Aguero

    Any potential double risers other than ADM?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Fix your GK combo.

      1. Boz
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Gone WBA. Looking more solid with Lescott back

    2. Boz
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      0.2 ITB btw

    3. oscardo
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      no arsenal cover.

  23. Footylicious
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Di Maria, Siggy, Bertrand risers imo

  24. Alberto Tomba
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 9 months ago

    If you didn't have ADM now would you consider him essential?

    My only reason for not getting him in now is Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea in the next five.

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

      essential - only solid attacker out of Man U atm. Him and Fab are gold right now

    2. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I don't have him, and I'm set to wait at least 3 GW's.

      1. oscardo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 9 months ago

        good luck

    3. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah Im not so sure Id be bringing him in but Id def be keeping. That kind of way. Will surely go up in price though

        Yes. Should drop to anywhere between 44/47 depending on hits.

      Both had to be sent off. Same with Cahill and Kosc.

    Just seeing the action on MOTD and another great Fab assist.

    Also Chelsea looking tighter, might have to buy back into def soon. Azpil looking good value, must be nailed on now?

    Gargatron tells me this is my situation, ranked 220k. Should I still be calm in my hunt for 10k?

    Points behind rank 1................ 97
    Points behind rank 100............. 78
    Points behind rank 1 000........... 62
    Points behind rank 5 000........... 48
    Points behind rank 10 000.. ........42
    Points behind rank 50 000......... 23
    Points behind rank 100 000........ 13
    Points behind rank 200 000 .........2

    I still have my WC intact while almost 60% of players have used theirs already which gives me some comfort, though I'm unsure how big a difference it can make... My team looks very good on paper too:

    Begovic Krul
    Clyne Lovren Chambers Taylor Wisdom
    Siggy Tadic Sterling Fabregas Downing
    Costa Pelle Welbeck
    (5.4itb 0FT)

    1. Kip
      • 12 Years

      No worries imo

    2. TorresMagic™

      220K after GW20 becomes a challenge. Top 1K possible now.

        Thanks, appreciate the reassuring advice.

      I think that 5.4 could be invested in midfield very well. Alot of coin to have sitting in reserve. Without looking at fixtures you could upgrade Tadic or Downing to a chadli/silva or wait for the likes of walcott when he is fit, even splurge on a striker could go pelle to Kun in 1 trade

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

        I prefer Pelle to Kun in the next 4 fixtures. Sturridge might be a replacement though.

        I want to get Baines in soon too but not in a massive rush since Lovren has good fixtures and I don't have a FT.

        My midfielders are performing well so I see no need to trade any of them right now. Need to invest in my defense first and foremost.

        1. Evans
          • 13 Years

          Lovern has been awful

          Don't fancy adm then ?

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

            No. Fixtures, and i think he's been lucky with his output to a degree. Much better value out there imo.

          2. rickardinho
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 9 months ago

            Lovren has been incredibly unlucky not to get CS's against Everton (92nd minute worldie) and WBA (terrible referee error gifting a penalty). Great fixtures too.

    Just WC'd; gone from

    Krulliott
    Chambers - Clyne - Caulker - van Aanholt - Chester
    Sterling - Fabregas - Siggy - Ramsey - Tadic
    Costa - Pelle - Ulloa

    to

    Foster - Myhill
    Baines - Clyne - Coloccini - van Aanholt - Chester
    Sterling - Fabregas - Moses - ADM - Chadli
    Costa - Pelle - Welbeck

    Can't seem to fit Man City cover in there anywhere but it'll do. Might regret WC by the morning.

    1. Captain Peacock

      Dump Chester immediately. Cover is overrated but if you want it that bad you can pick up Dzeko or Milner.

      You've WCed Colocini INTO your team?!

      I had that same front 8 but have moved towards Welbeck and Downing while keeping my WC intact. There's absolutely no need to WC that team, a FT and perhaps a hit would have been fine.
