Versus – Baines and Coleman

After scaling the heights of fifth place in their first season under Roberto Martinez, Everton have so far failed to find their form. The Toffees sit in seventeenth spot – just two points off the basement – but are poised for an excellent upcoming schedule which many expect will enable them to quickly climb back up the table.

Understandably, Fantasy managers are eyeing up Leighton Baines ahead of a run which pits the Merseysiders against just three of last season’s top eight in the forthcoming 13 Gameweeks. Given that the Toffees have managed just a single clean sheet so far, though, defensive returns may be hard to come by unless they can tighten up considerably.

With team-mate Seamus Coleman looking poised for an imminent return to action, we analyse the pair’s displays so far and compare them to the performances which harvested 169 and 180 points respectively in the 2013/14 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game.

    Can you guys help me with this please? A, B, C or D? Will happily help anyone who replies with their problems.

    A: Forster, Mangala, Moses, Krancjar, Berahino
    B: Mannone, Mangala, Siggy, Wanyama, Berahino
    C: Forster, Wisdom, Moses, Wanyama, Pelle
    D: Mannone, Taylor, Moses, Wanyama, Pelle

    Thanks very much!

      Between A and B for me, tough though,

        Thanks!

    2. Mata-Is-The-Juan

      Is this for FPL? Only asking cos you could find more reliable options [in terms of points] than Wanyama & Krancjar.

      1. Richard_b
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yep, this if for FPL. Are there any players you would recommend in Krancjar's and Wanyama's price range? Thanks

        1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Um... Ki[Swansea], Rodwell[Sunderland], Dorrans[WBA] --5M
          I am a bit stumped when it comes to MIDs below 4.5M but I remember Boyd[Burnley] being mentioned on here. Obertan[NEW] could also be worth a short-term punt.

          Am guessing you won't be playing your 4.5M midfielder regularly right? So he's to be a decent bench option.

          1. Richard_b
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks a lot man.

            Well with A, Krancjar would be the sub and with any option with Wanyama/Boyd/Obertan, they would be the sub.

            Personally, I think Krancjar is likely to outscore Rodwell, Ki and Dorrans, but I appreciate your suggestions.

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure I like any option there.

    4. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A If Mangala is fit but I don't really like any of them.

      1. Richard_b
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. Just to point out, the rest of my team is much better haha. Currently looking into playing my wildcard after the coming gameweek.

    5. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It would do B but Azpi instead of Mangala

      1. Richard_b
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks man

    6. kesh
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Would suggest B but don't like Mangala

      1. Richard_b
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Ok thanks! I've liked the look of Mangala from set pieces from what I've seen. I think he could chip in with a few goals. Still, Azpi might be the safer option.

    Bit of advice please lads. Have 2FTS

    Ulloa + Manquillo ---- Welbeck + Cahmbers(have exact money)
    " + " ---- Sakho + Azpi
    " + " ---- Berahinho + Azpi

    Cheers 🙂

    1. amol
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      First one, but if you fancy a punt pick Sakho

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      :confused:

      1. Touré De Force
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        There seems to be some protons involved in the move.

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Looks more quantum mechanics here. The Azpi boson is new.

          1. Touré De Force
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            There's either Z + W Azpi Bosons, or a previously unaccounted for Azpi Gluon.

      2. ralfb

        Me too

        1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket

          Haha, knobends 🙂

    3. Richard_b
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd pick the first one

    4. Richard_b
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      But I have a feeling Berahino is going to become a steal. (Before everybody jumps on the bandwagon)

  5. Touré De Force
    • 13 Years

    He scores when he wants, HE SCORES WHEN HE WANTS, Gylfi Siggurdson, he scores when he wants!!

      So are you saying he can't be bothered most of the time?

      1. Touré De Force
        • 13 Years

        No, I'm just roaring my approval from an imaginary terrace. The Iceman Cometh.

    Thanks for the previous advice, currently going with:

    Foster (Myhill)
    Baines, Azpilicueta, Bertrand, Chambers (Moore)
    Di Maria, Fabregas, Sigurdsson (Boyd, Albrighton)
    Costa, Aguero, Pelle

    Any thoughts or changes required? I'll happily reply/suggest to similar posts.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years

      You're ready. Not sure about your keepers though. Might want to change that in the near future

      1. ZiZou10
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Could go Forster and Dawson for Foster and Bertrand?

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Hmmmm wouldn't want to sacrifice Bertrand.

      2. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Foster & Myhill aren't great but they're probably the best bet if you want to go with a 4.5/4.0 split atm.

        The only other options are Krul (in an awful team and possibly injured) or Mannone (poor fixtures and no 4.0 back up).

  7. Van Dal

    Siggy is a must in the EQFF

    How many weeks in advance to people 'try' plan their transfers. Seem to be about 3 weeks ahead in planning this year...

    1. ZiZou10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm planning until January but I'm wildcard active at the moment.

      Usually 3-5 weeks ahead

    2. Touré De Force
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Until I'm satisfied an asset is underperforming, no move is made. Planning to ditch Wilson post haste under this regime.

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      3 weeks at most, usually. Atm, I have no planned transfers as my team is depressingly template.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I've taken hits when I didn't need a transfer to try and get away from the template. Tbh I'm really bored with the game atm. Gutted I have to wait until mid Nov for more Internationals 😛

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          It is a bit boring this year, I agree.

      2. Ady87
        • 10 Years

        Mine is the epitome of template.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I got Siggy in last week and got Bertrand in this week. How boring is that 🙂

          1. Ady87
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Terrible, but at least you got this far without them, that must have been a rush, 😀

              That's some overall rank.... Wow!

    4. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I asked this same question a few days ago. Personally any transfer I make now I have an eye on making it to January with. Most said that they rarely plan too far ahead cos inevitably something would come up to change their plans

  9. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years

    Good to see Siggy and particularly Pellè on the score sheet tonight!

    Continue the form please 🙂

        Wouldn't surprise me

  10. Jarvis

    Wisdom, Moore or Chambers?

    1. ZiZou10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Chambers

    2. ZiZou10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Moore if you need cash

    3. ralfb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Chambers, but not this week

    4. Mr Imp
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Chambers next week, but you may want Moore if you can find a use for the extra 0.6 elsewhere.

  11. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Repost for the smart-holes. Have 2FTS

    Ulloa + Manquillo ---- Welbeck + Cahmbers(have exact money)
    Ulloa + Manquillo ---- Sakho + Azpi
    Ulloa + Manquillo ---- Berahinho + Azpi

    1. Touré De Force
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A or C. I say A as I think both are decent shouts at their prices. What other Arsenal cover do you have there Neils Bohr?

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        No other but will be bringing in Walcott sooner rather than later

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A. Those Arsenal fixtures are very tempting.

  12. Fantasy Gold
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What would you do with the 1 FT here? ADM is killing me. Do I just bite the bullet and transfer him in?

    Begovic McCarthy
    Baines Moreno Clyne Naylor Moore
    Siggy Sterling Fabregas Tadic
    Costa Dzeko Pelle

    3m itb. Dunno whether to focus my 3m on midfield or attack.

    1. ZiZou10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tadic to adm

      1. ZiZou10
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Can you improve Dzeko?

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I'd love to improve Dzeko, maybe Sturridge

      2. kesh
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hmmmm, you could potentially get Kun in. Also Moreno needs to be downgraded next week so you could use the extra cash in getting ADM

    3. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I would do Tadic -- ADM

    4. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      tadic to adm

      would look to do dzeko to kun as well, moreno the sacrifice

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Great minds think alike

        1. ZiZou10
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I said that too!

          1. Make United Great Again
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Great minds team huddle

            1. Fantasy Gold
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Yeah I appreciate the Tadic > ADM move is probably the correct one.

              But then that leaves me short so even if I downgraded Moreno next GW I wouldn't be able to afford Aguero.

              I guess the question is, where do my priorities lie? Midfield or attack? Severely tempted by Sturridge as a differential

    5. DRY PEANUT
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Dzeko to Aguero could be a disaster. Just get Di Maria in

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        You're probably right.

        Having said that, as a Tadic owner from the beginning, no doubt he will bite me in the ass as soon as I sell him.

        1. DRY PEANUT
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          True. well maybe wait till United have an easy home game then get Di Maria in...

        2. Ady87
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I know you are reluctant to get him in, but you will be better off for it.

    6. Richard_b
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Admittedly Tadic is not playing particularly well at the moment, but I'm giving him one more week. Personally, and this may turn out to be a ridiculous statement, I think ADM is deceiving everybody at the moment. He is an absolutely fantastic player, but I don't think he will actually score that many goals in the long term. If you look at his goalscoring record, it is not actually that good. Ok he has done well at home to QPR and Everton, and had a decent game at Leicester, but l think his form will calm down.

      Is he going to do the business on a cold day in Stoke?

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        One thing is a certainty, he will outscore Tadic

        1. Ady87
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          +1

          1. Fantasy Gold
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah. I think you've convinced me to get ADM. Thanks guys.

        2. Richard_b
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Haha! Agreed. But I think the highly priced midfielders in the long-term will outscore him.

          Btw, I wasn't being some stupid idiot suggesting 'the foreigners can't do well in cold temperatures'; it's a Guardian Football Weekly podcast reference...

      2. Touré De Force
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Don't have ADM, in no panic to get him at all.

        1. Ady87
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Is your cash ITB from selling Rooney? I'm too lazy to look.

          1. Fantasy Gold
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah it is. That 3m needs to be used in a juicing up my team with a big hitter so I guess it's ADM or Sturridge

          2. Touré De Force
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Can't remember where it came from, that sounds right though.

            1. Touré De Force
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Lol

  13. Mr Imp
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Krul - Elliot
    Baines - Ivan - Duff - Hutton - Bruce
    ADM - Sterling - Fabregas - Siggy - Boyd
    Costa - Aguero - Naismith

    Who needs to be my next transfer out, and with whom would you replace them? Have 0.0itb.

    1. DRY PEANUT
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You need some Arsenal and some Southampton. They have the best fixtures coming up

      1. Mr Imp
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Very true.

        I could do Fabregas to Walcott, but I want to see Walcott play 90 mins before doing this. If Walcott doesn't look like the player that he used to be, then I might downgrade Fabregas to Chadli and get in Welbeck and Forster.

        I agree that Arsenal and Saints players are badly needed over the coming weeks - thanks for the input.

    2. Touré De Force
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Krul > Guzan or Manone. Guzan has the fixtures, but Manones big hauls came against the bigger sides last season - and they're defensively quiet sound.

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        If you want to keep Mannone until January then the fixtures really are bad though. Arsenal, Everton, Chelsea, City, Liverpool, City again, Liverpool again and Tottenham. He'd need to be damn good with those sort of games coming...

    3. kesh
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You should probably deal with Krul and watch Naismith's minutes when Barkely's back

      1. Mr Imp

        Naismith is my biggest concern at the moment. The only way I can get a substantial upgrade on him is to downgrade Fabregas. I want to keep Fabregas for now whilst I assess walcott, as fab- walcott is on my radar.

    Any advice?

    Szczesny / (Schmeichel)
    Ivanovic / Baines / Nailor / (Chambers / Hutton)
    Di Maria / Fabregas / Sterling / Siggy / (JWP)
    Costa / Welbeck / Ulloa

      If I had your team, I would make the following plan fof the next few weeks...

      1. If going with both baines and ivan, I would downgrade the rest of defence to 3 x 4.0s and rotate three of them.

      2. Downgrade JWP to Boyd.

      3. Downgrade Sczcesny to Forster

      4. Use the money saved in points 1 to 3 above to upgrade ulloa.

    How come it took them so long to realize that staggering all the qualifiers over a longer period was a great idea?
    And it is a great idea.
    Saying that, I had never thought of it before. Is it the first time it's been done? Was it the much maligned Platini's idea?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      Is it not just that there are more of them this time?

        Are there? With the exception of Gibraltar weren't every other team in qualification for the last Euros? What's changed bar extra games against Gibraltar?

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          No idea. It was a suggestion based on more teams qualifying

    Team for this week

    Forster (McCarthy)
    Bertrand Wilson Naylor (Duff) (Wisdom)
    Fab Sterling Siggy Di Maria(v) (Chadli)
    Falcao Costa(c) Ulloa

    2m ITB 0FT

    1. Snikii

      Chadli to 4.5 and Ulloa^

      1. Murder On Zidane's Flo…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Ive only just bought Chadli in. Ive got 2m in the bank so can upgrade ulloa to welbeck anyway which is definitely an option next week

      2. Go Loons
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        No way is that worth a -8. Keep your team as is MOZF.

    2. Murder On Zidane's Flo…
      • 11 Years

      The plan is ulloa>welbeck Wilson>Chambers and Wisdom/Duff>Hutton

      In what order i dunno lol

  17. Triple J
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    The only way to get Baines into my team without a 4 point hit is to swap Sterling for Downing. Noble on his way back... Good idea or not?

    1. kesh
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not for a hit IMHO

    2. Touré De Force
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm doing Sterling > Lallana as part of a -4 for Bainsey.Plumetting down the OR if Sterling delivers and my new recruits blank.

  18. Venom Snake
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hey guys. Is Naylor still a good option to bring in, even with that tough three game stretch coming up?

    1. kesh
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I have him and I'm keeping him. I rotate him with Chambers and Hutton

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd say no. I'm looking at getting rid of him soon.

    3. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I still don't trust Swansea's defense. Wouldn't be looking at him as an option I don't think.

      Nice. Very similar to me this week.

    2. kesh
      • 9 Years

      Solid starting lineup - who's on the bench? Also are you on WC? If not how much itb and how many FT's?

  20. ralfb
    • 9 Years

    I want to downgrade chadli to afford fab to hazard. Does that make sense, and who would you get, downing or diame? Or someone else, any help highly appreciated.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wow, that's different. I'd still rather have Fabs than Hazard and I'm looking to get Chadli in next week

      1. ralfb
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I benched chadli the last 3 weeks as i played 3 4 3 and had kun costa welbz fab siggi adm sterling

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          You have too much in mf so you will have the same problem every week. You need a mid who will be on your bench most weeks and none of them fit the bill.

          1. ralfb
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks, was thinking that too, maybe just get a 4.4 one and upgrade wilson to azpi

    2. kesh
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Different but could lead to a good differential if it pays off! I agree Hazard > Fabregas over coming weeks as he's coming into form and much bigger goal threat than Fab. Id also say Downing > Diame die to fixtures. If you can do a less drastic downgrade I'd say it could really pay off 🙂

      1. ralfb
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Chadli is the only one i didnt play and is more worth than my benched 4 m defenders. But was also thinking playing him and getting rid if sterling. That might then allow me also to upgrade defence

  21. Jarvis
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who to captain out of Sterling - ADM - Costa - Aguero - Sakho - Baines - Ivan - Haz - Siggy...? So many options!

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      The price you pay for not having Welbeck 😉

    2. Touré De Force
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Costa, that's an easy one. Should be goals in that one, I can forsee Palace 'having a go' at them. Haz is also a decent shout.

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm going with Aguero. Did it last week and it nearly was a lovely leg up on the Costa captainers.
      With so many teams looking similar it's nice to "gamble" on an Aguero captaincy.
      Many don't agree with gambling with the armband but I've never believed in that. It's one of the most fun elements of the game, imo.

      1. ralfb
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Welbeck for me against hull, if he plays

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Anyone but Costa 🙂

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Completely agree with you. There are folk in my mini leagues that just seem to keep it on Costa. D1cks!! 😀

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I can see why though. I'm in top 10k (just). And last week 52% of top 10k captained Costa.
          I hate playing it safe though and Aguero looked just to tempting, only 12% went with him. I'd imagine it will be similar figures this week.

          1. RoysCallerAnne
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            *too

            1. Touré De Force
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Just pick who you thinl will do best. For plenty of folk that's D-I-E-G-O.

              1. RoysCallerAnne
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Oh I agree. I think City are about to explode so I'm going Aguero.

          2. ralfb
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Thats because 66% own costa and only 15% own kun

            1. ralfb
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              That means probably only 80% of costa owners chose him as capt while 90% of kun owners chose him

              1. RoysCallerAnne
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                fair point too.

                1. ralfb
                  • 9 Years
                  9 years, 8 months ago

                  My numbers are not mathematically correct, kun actually only has 12.8 % owners, so almost 100 % captained him

                  1. RoysCallerAnne
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 14 Years
                    9 years, 8 months ago

                    I noticed that but didn't want to come across as pedantic 😉

  22. DRY PEANUT
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Would any you guys double up on Southamton defence? This is what I currently have. 2FT

    Forster - Mannone

    NTaylor - Kaboul - Wilson - Chambers - Vlaar

    Will get Alwerield/Bertrand for Vlaar/Kaboulshit

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Clyne is probably your best shout if you have the coin.

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It could work, yeah. I have Clyne and Forster, but was gonna play Chambers instead of Clyne until he got suspended.

      1. DRY PEANUT
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Sunderland don't score much and neither do Stoke. Their next two fixtures at home.

    3. Murder On Zidane's Flo…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ive got Forster and Bertrand and playing them both for the next five weeks lol

  23. duffnasty
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    whats worst?

    a) not bringing in a player because you think they are crap and then having them go on to score big

    or

    b) saying to hell with it, bringing them in, and then having them blank just as you thought they would whilst the player you dropped gets more points

    this is how i feel about ulloa > lolbeck this weekend

    and i have to say b) hurts the most

    1. Touré De Force
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Defo b mate.

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Doing something that hurts is always more painful than not doing something. That said I would make the move, captain Welbeck too 😉

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      B, no doubt.

    4. Snikii
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Please dont bring Welbz in if you think he is crap....

      1. duffnasty
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        well its not like i think ulloa is any better as i've only seen him play once, i mostly picked him up during my wildcard to make some money on him. as a united fan i've watched danny for a long time and he has just never really shown any consistency and has always seemed rather awkward. dont get me wrong, even though he plays for the hated gooners now i still would love to see a top class striker playing for england, i just dont see it in danny.

        1. Murder On Zidane's Flo…
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Thats exactly how I feel its welbeck or Pelle anyway. Or may break the mould and go Sakho/Berahino

        2. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I felt that way about Sturridge when Liverpool signed him. He never impressed me at Chelsea.
          Welbeck, like Sturridge has gotten himself a big move and is still young and will be out to prove himself and his doubters wrong. He definitely has talent... We will just have to see how it turns out for him.

    5. Murder On Zidane's Flo…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Im keeping ulloa for this week and will decide after that

      1. duffnasty
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        i think this is best, especially in light of the ankle knock. plus the other danny should play this weekend so keep the ft and re-evaluate next week

    6. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Even crap players can bring in points.

    7. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A) will hurt you more pointswise. Trust me. I was hit very hard last year with Yaya and Ramsey.

      Can't be second guessing yourself though. At the end of the day you gotta trust your own judgement.

  24. Jimbo123

    2. BeachBadger

      Coleman out too long to really know. It was a poor idea to be frank. Like doing an article on Welbeck v Giroud.

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        So Baines it is then 😉

        1. BeachBadger
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Yep until Coleman proves himself. At the same price, he'd have to do a lot to justify getting him over Baines.

    1. BeachBadger

                Fair enough, as do I. King of vegetables behind the potato which is in a category of its own. 🙂

                  Indeed. I have about a dozen different ways of doing potatoes. 🙂

    Begovic,Schmeichel
    Wisdom,Chester,Shawcross,Moreno,Ivan

    0.6 ITB, 2FT. Looking at getting Baines in by dropping Begovic to Hamer and getting rid of either Moreno or Shawcross ...But which one?

      Seems a bitof a waste of two free transfers given this weeks fixtures.
      Stokes fixtures do take a turn for the worst soon though

        I know Stoke at home, but haven't been convincing apart from the Man City game. Liverpool with QPR and good fixtures, but looking like Toure will play which spells disaster for a clean sheet in my view. Might just do Hamer, i want the extra money 🙂
