    So tempted by adm and taylor to sanchez and alcaraz?!x

      If you feel it do it. I think I'll be keeping ADM myself.

        Ive never been fussed boutt dimaria just put him in to cancel out rivals.always thought sanchez is best mid in game once he gets used to epl.i think he is now.x

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          You could be right jdogg

  2. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Would anyone here do Welbeck and Sterling to Costa and Sanchez if it was for a hit? Could really backfire too..

    1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      If Costa is definitely starting next week then it's tempting. Could work out well

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Could just do one for free also will wait for news on Costa

        1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Sit tight if you can afford any potential drops

    2. Tatty Bojangles
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      You just know Welbeck will score if you do.

    3. DrunkPhilosophy

      Sanchez is a great player and there is no doubt about it, but Welbeck's stats are not bad either.
      Sanchez's haul and two goals this week came from two silly defensive mistakes and that won't happen every week.
      I'm not saying Sanchez is a bad pick, I just think Welbeck could easily get a haul against Burnley as well and you will want him back in.

    4. FPL Blow-In

      Cheers everyone. Will hold for now anyway

    There's an awful lot of comments recently along the lines of, "it's crazy to want Hazard over Fabregas," "it's stupid to ditch Sterling," etc.

    Yet I look at the top teams and see:

    teams with Baines, teams without Baines;
    teams with Fabs, teams with Hazard instead;
    teams with Aguero, teams without Aguero.

    Since when did this site collectively forget that there are multiple ways to play this game?

    1. jordinho23
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Very good point the shadow. I would love Baines but I always go too top heavy. Season in season out Baines is right up there but for some reason I don't bring him in.

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah. If it ain't the identikit team it doesn't fly.

      There are so many options now Rooney is back there is another so many ways to score points, its a very interesting game this year.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Will you shut up about Rooney...and those fixtures coming up...

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I hope Wakey Jnr buys him lol

          1. Dr Dream
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            No he's mine...He'll have to make do with Costa when he's back and firing..

    3. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I say it all the time...Their are loads of great picks...too many anyway..

      1. djenzio
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        yeah i agree with all said above. well said x

        9 years, 7 months ago

        Nothing annoys me more on this site than people making statements like those in initial post.

        He WILL score is another one thats annoying.

        None of us know whats going to happen , can only make an educated guess

  4. RSe
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    How many minutes do we think Wally will get against Burnley?

    1. The Shadow
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'd take 20 in a pool. Wenger rarely subs on until well after 60 mins.

    2. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sub appearance maybe 15-20

    3. Moosie the Staggie
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      It doesn't really matter. He won't start before the international break. 10 min is my guess.

  5. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Evening, what do we think?

    A) Sterling>Hazard

    B) Sterling Siggy > Sanchez Downing (-4)

    C) Ivan Siggy > Chambers Sanchez (-4)

    D) Save FT

    Not sure it's worth taking a hit but Sanchez is so tempting this week!

    1. jdogg
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      C.x

      1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers. Even with Qpr next week?

        1. jdogg
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Chances are u will get a cleansheet eacch for ur two defenders.and i see sanchez as a captaincy option this week and siggy aint.x

    2. Moosie the Staggie
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      D imo

  6. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    RP - bottom of last.

    ......................Mannone
    ...........Baines, Clyne, Bertrand
    Di Maria, Fabrgegas, Sterling, Sigurdsson
    ...........Aguero, Welbeck, Pelle

    Chambers, Duff, Boyd

    1FT, 1.3ITB

    Feel like I'm in a good position and have been moving up for a while. Would you:

    A) Transfer Mannone (morally opposed to having such a horrid defence in my team)
    B) Save FT/wait for news on Sigurdsson - will try and fit in Wally when he returns.

    Thanks all.

    1. jdogg
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Hold.x

      1. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Have a feeling Mannone will be dropped but will try and save.

        1. jdogg
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Who would u put in for him?id mcarthey starts tomorrow.could be a decent way of saving half a million!x

          1. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Already have McCarthy. Either Guzan or Foster as I don't like having 5.0+ keepers.

    2. Ludwig
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      yeah i'd want mannone out
      then your team would be so beast

      maybe plan your transfers for when soton gets those tough fixtures?

      1. Wells - Anti-Dentite!
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yep plan is to lose Clyne or Bertrand in GW13 for a 4.5-5.0 and play Chambers as the main third defender. Wally in the mix to come in also.

        Who would you bring in for Vito?

    3. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Mannone > Guzan for me. After Spurs next week, relatively easy schedule for an excellent keeper

  7. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    am i missing something? just logged into FFF and it says alexis will rise tomorrow

    everyone has been saying FFF was showing he would rise tonight

    1. The Shadow
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Is that the site you have to give your FPL password to log in to?

      1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        you don't have to but yeah

        i just put in my fpl id

      2. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yes..It's all legit and very good. I've been in contact with them over parts of their website development.

        1. Steve
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          seriously? cos the whole "give us your password" thing put me off and although it says you can log in without it, i've yet to get it to work

          1. Dr Dream
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            I did write that when I wrote to them...Send them an e mail saying it makes you nervous and/or that you can't use the site as they wish....They've only been going six weeks but seem very accommodating to feedback.

            1. Steve
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              ok, cheers for the suggestion

  8. Hyperion
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Bego, Krul
    Lovren, Bertrand, Naylor, Hutton, Duff
    ADM, Sterling, Tadic, Siggy, Chadli
    Aguero, Costa, Ulloa

    2 FT, 0.0 ITB

    A) Lovren -> Baines, Siggy -> Boyd, Ulloa -> Berahino (-4, 0.0 left)
    B) Lovren -> Baines, Chadli -> Boyd (0.1 left)
    C) Sterling -> Sanchez, Chadli/Siggy -> Boyd, Ulloa -> Berahino (-4, 0.1/0.2 left)
    D) Sterling -> Sanchez, Chadli/Siggy -> Boyd (0.3/0.4 left)

    So basically is getting Baines or Sanchez more important and is Ulloa -> Berahino worth a hit as it'll be tricky to do after tonight cos of prices.

    RMT tool is looking good for the coming weeks at 322.38!
    Has anyone a higher total?

    1. Steve
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      309 for me

    2. Hyperion

    8. Dr Dream

      324 > 319 this week..but then back up next week

    9. CoolBeans
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      I know it doesn't really mean anything but its still nice to see! Hopefully it translates into more green arrows!

    10. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Mine was 322 before the start of the GW and look how that turned out!
      Down to 316 now

    11. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      314.18

  10. Test Eagles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Who's more urgent to shift?

    1) Dier > Chambers / Duff
    2) Siggy > Diame

    1. Hyperion
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Of those two, 1, but I'd be inclined to do neither unless you have 2 FTs.

    2. jackluhg
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      dier imo

    3. Vasily
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      dier to chambers

  11. Ando
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard looked really good against United, could've easily had a goal and 3 bonus (if he scored). Di Maria played shite, was quite relieved as I got rid for Eriksen who didn't deliver.

    1. Tatty Bojangles
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Di Maria still managed 4 shots and 4 key passes. I thought he looked OK.

      1. Steve
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        his crossing v west brom was first class. He ain't going to be playing a team as big or good as Chelsea every week and Falcao & Rooney will be back soon. Lots of points on the horizon for ADM IMO

  12. The Light Knight
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    My heart truly bleeds for saints Terry and Ivan, and the always persecuted Chelski. It's not as if they already have the title in their own hands

  13. baines is god
    • 12 Years

    anyone got any good projections/predictions/bets for games coming up or over the course of the season, am on a bad run gambling wise and could do with some input! Cheers

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 10 Years

      Liverpool to win the league

  14. Kudo Warrior
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Ivan > Baines
    Sterling > Sanchez
    Good picks?

    1. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      ivan will play vs QPR serving his ban midweek

      1. Kudo Warrior
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I know. But Baines is just a better attacking option at the moment. Especially with Chelsea not getting regular CS's

        1. John Obi Wan Mikel
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Ivan looked very promising today, should've got a penalty, easily could've got 2 goals or a goal and an assist, then again Baines also looks good but I think Chelsea/Ivan has much more clean sheet potential

          1. Kudo Warrior
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            You're probably right. Just been a thorn in my side for the last few weeks.
            Cheers.

            1. John Obi Wan Mikel
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              I know what you mean bro 😛 I've had him aswell and today was just a major dose of premier league misfortune, and if Ivan was missing the QPR I'd probably be bringing Baines in

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ivanovic nearly scored tonight he could get a big score next week I wouldn't make that transfer this week

  15. DaveZubie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Need to get rid of Naismith but only got 6m (without taking hits)

    1) Berahino
    2) Sakho
    3) Other?

    1. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sakho probably injured, so Berahino

  16. jackluhg
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    any news on Sakho yet?

    1. Demí
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Scan tomorrow

  17. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Shame Sakho is out. Was tempted to do Welbeck>Sakho and Sterling>Sanchez.

    1. John Obi Wan Mikel
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Hop on the Berahino bandwagon instead?

  18. Gooner Kebab
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Just logged in....so the transfer du jour, Siggy or Sterling out for Alexis?

  19. Snikii
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Dont know if discussed already but i found Jermaine Jenas refreshing during MoTD. Younger people are required imo

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I agree..some of the presenters need refreshing.

    2. Lizard Lips
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Couldn't agree more. Great insightful analysis and no constant cliches.

  20. Not Irish

    What's the consensus on significant risers/fallers tonight?

    1. Najoman86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Clyne & Berahino to rise
      Costa set for another fall

      1. Not Irish
        • 10 Years

          • 14 Years

          No prob!
          How'd you fare this GW?

          1. Not Irish
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            48, up from 8k to 7k. Will be lucky to stay in the top 10k after autosubs kick in.

            You?

            1. Najoman86
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Nice work! Progressing up the overall rank well!
              Rough GW for mine. Sitting on 38 with Wilson/Boyd auto-sub for a total of 2pts should get me over the 40pt mark. Dropped around 1.5k but still inside top 10k.

              McCarthy in goals tomorrow morning - CS and PK save would go down a treat! Ha!

    2. Art Vandelay

    1. DaveZubie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No to me .. was one of my replacements for Naismith

  22. Najoman86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Missed the Swansea game, but noticed the Siggy early sub and subsequent yellow flag in FPL. Serious injury concern or just a minor knock?

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Groin, no news yet

    2. Not Irish
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Precautionary by the looks of it. He asked to come off. Set up a goal even as they were waiting to make the change.

      Just stick your ID in and see what it says

  24. Hibbo

    • 11 Years

    Probably asked a million times but what's the story with the West Ham centre backs? Was Collins injured and is he now nailed? Because Tomkin's looked an option but has missed the last two games...

        They have some cracking fixtures.

        And the Noble & Song pairing provides solid protection.

        Looking a real good outfit.

    I really hate template teams and very popular picks.
    Basically I hate players with very high ownerships but I do own most of them and I have a very template team I would say because I wanna on the safe side.
    Sometimes I see myself wishing a player picking an injury or getting sent off just so I can get a new face in without worrying about what could have happened lol.
    Just a thought before going to bed
    Goodnight DZ

    Forster / (McCarthy)
    Clyne / N. Taylor / Baines / (Duff) / (Wisdom)
    Sterling / Siggy / Fabregas / Di Maria / (Boyd)
    Aguero / Pelle / Welbeck

    1 FT, 0.9 ITB.

    What's the obvious choice here?

    Why doesn't scout do a nightly risers/drops post?
    I know it's hazard to be accurate but it would be nice.
