    How come all the sanchez hype now? I understand he's hit a decent bit of form but very expensive considering, that much on arsenal player is quite a bit seeing as they are the most frustratingly inconsistent team to support, also his chances have been quite lucky per say

    1. Twelve years a slave
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Its out of control

      1. John Obi Wan Mikel
        12 years, 7 days ago

        Once something gets going on here it does become unstoppable :L

      2. Twelve years a slave
        12 years, 7 days ago

        All the positive reinforcement on here tends to snowball

        1. Twelve years a slave
          12 years, 7 days ago

          It buids up so much that when the player then gets two points , the forum meltsdown and everyone wonders why they ever transfered them in

          1. Not Irish
            12 years, 7 days ago

            I can't wait.

    2. daveoafc77
      12 years, 7 days ago

      I was caught up breifly but I don't think Arsenal have the greatest run of fixtures and still don't look especially fluid in general, so its passed

    3. Zasa
      12 years, 7 days ago

      He's been the focal point of everything Arsenal does up top, it's been like this for a while now. Just hasn't converted to fantasy $ up until last week.

      If international form is a good indicator of club prowess, I'd say people were just blindsided by his price & AR of course.

    4. Hyperion

      COS PRICES AND BURNLEY N THAT

    5. Joggers Nipple
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Agree, have your own plan and stick to it. Use this place to sound it out. Have gone for Hazard and Welbeck this week. I know not as in vogue as Sancez but like to think i know what im doing. With all that said, Sanhcez is a great player, just a bit to much price wise for me

    6. The Shadow
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Are you saying 8 goals in 11 games is down to luck? Until Sunderland I didn't hear much about luck and even at Sunderland work rate and forward positioning were factors as well as luck.

    7. money face bandwagon
      12 years, 7 days ago

      B4 start of season everyone think sanchez is great no? And now he has hit form and is the focal point..burnley next..everything looks good.

      He is abit expensive so i will not break the bank for him. But if u can afford, why not? Not everyone has aguero or costa(i have though) so they are in a easy position to get him.

  2. Beavis
    12 years, 7 days ago

    Got so many options and that's without even factoring in that Costa may actually start the QPR game. Just some preliminary ideas if you could give me your thoughts.

    Forster (hul)
    Bertrand (hul), Wilson (WHM), Dawson (lei)
    Cesc (QPR), ADM (mcy), Sterling (new), Siggy (eve)
    Welbeck (BUR), Aguero (MCY), Pelle (hul)

    Subs: Boyd, Naylor, Moore
    2 FTs, 3.8m itb

    A: Naylor + Siggy > Chambers + Sanchez/Hazard
    B: Naylor + Sterling > Baines + Hazard
    C: Siggy + Sterling > Hazard + Ramsey
    D: Siggy + Sterling + Welbeck > Hazard + Sanchez + Sakho/Berahino

    Cheers guys and of course any other suggestions more than welcome. ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Beavis
      12 years, 7 days ago

      D is for a -4 of course.

    2. NATSTER

      B looks really good.

  3. NATSTER
    12 years, 7 days ago

    Help please.

    How's about ... Sterling + Moreno -> Sanchez + Chambers ?

    Stronger for points ?

    1. John Obi Wan Mikel
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Just moreno imo

      1. NATSTER
        12 years, 7 days ago

        0.0 ITB.

        I will be able to do those trades before Sanchez rise and Sterling drop only.

        Hesitate.

    2. Beavis
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Yeah good transfers if for free.

        1st season probably the least good of the lot but after that it really picks up. Last couple of seasons have been incredible imo, top quality television.

        Ha, same here. Loved it, but they went too far.

  6. Diva
    12 years, 7 days ago

    Anyone else looking at Sánchez slightly concerned by his current conversion rate?

    1. Beavis
      12 years, 7 days ago

      What's wrong with it? Perfectly normal number.

      1. Diva
        12 years, 7 days ago

        Look at his shots on target to goals.

    2. Zasa
      12 years, 7 days ago

      He had a pretty bad conversion rate last season at Barca too from what I remember, translated into 19 goals & 10 assists on the wing

      1. Diva
        12 years, 7 days ago

        That's interesting because my concern is whether he is currently over-performing.

  7. 1314
    12 years, 7 days ago

    To free up fund for Sanchez :

    a) Welbeck > Berahino/Sakho
    b) Sterling > CHadli

    1. Snikii
      12 years, 7 days ago

      a if you must

    2. 1314
      12 years, 7 days ago

      c) ADM > Sanchez (directly for free)

    3. daveoafc77
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Does taking Welbeck out for Burnley at home seem like a good idea to you?

      1. 1314
        12 years, 7 days ago

        I need Sanchez,,that's why I'm asking to sacrifice Welbeck or Sterling.

        1. Hyperion
          12 years, 7 days ago

          You don't NEED him though.

    4. Hyperion

      Neither, go without Sanchez.

      Sometimes we succeed despite ourselves.

  9. Cookie Thumper
    12 years, 7 days ago

    It's fine to bring in Sanchez for next week. I may bring back adm for week after. Points in the bag that count.

    1. daveoafc77
      12 years, 7 days ago

      If you've got money in the bank to afford it then sure, but can't keep losing buying players back at more than you've sold them for

      1. Cookie Thumper
        12 years, 7 days ago

        Yeah 100% right Dave. I also lost a lot on Costa to Aguero last week but it paid off. At least Costa and AGM are cheaper. 8 or 900 k lost though if I buy them back.

  10. Twelve years a slave
    12 years, 7 days ago

    Is the baby being thrown out with the bathwater?
    Babies even

    Sterling/Siggi/ADM

    These players are template for a reason, they are good fantasy assets who will not be easy to buy back with their elevated prices.
    It tempting to see a shiny new toy and cast aside old favourites, however people havevery short memories, and none of the above players have done anything wrong to justify throwing out

    1. daveoafc77
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Of course. Its the nature of the game but sometimes the transfers you don't make are the best ones

    2. Not Irish
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Indeed. Why didn't you comment on my post a couple pages back which said the exact same thing? ๐Ÿ˜€

    3. Beavis
      12 years, 7 days ago

      What elevated prices? Sterling is dropping.

    4. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Exactly.

      My defence needs transfers that what I'll be doing.

    5. Hyperion
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Certainly disagree with ADM out. The other two I can sort of see. Liverpool are pretty woeful and Sturridge won't be back until after the international break. I downgraded Siggy this week as it was either him or Costa and I'm not 100% happy about it since he's setting up most of Bony's chances, but on the other hand he has had virtually zero goal threat recently and has tough fixtures.

      1. daveoafc77
        12 years, 7 days ago

        Next 3 are tough after that its a great run of games, its weighing up the short term vs medium term gains I guess

        1. Hyperion
          12 years, 7 days ago

          Hopefully I will be able to get him back in for Chadli by that point if he looks like scoring well again.

    6. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 7 days ago

      While I do agree with you about ADM and possibly Sterling, although I dropped him 2 weeks ago as I don't trust his returns without Sturridge, I have to say now that Siggy is injured, he needs to go. Going into this week he has blanked in 4 out of 5 games and even though he got an assist this week, it was only a 4 pt. return. Enough is enough for me and most others.

      There are so many other great choices out there, that will he really be missed that badly? He is good for assists and not proven himself as a goal scorer in the PL. I think most are looking for better, more consistent options going forward and blanking in nearly 5 out of 6 isn't a good consistent option.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        12 years, 7 days ago

        Agree Costa, and when you can make Siggy into someone like Hazard it makes good sense

    7. money face bandwagon
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Then how are u gg to get in players like eriksen sanchez etc?

      As much as i agree on playing safe but sometimes u really might have to take a risk somewhere to max ur points. If u are brave enough to have done adm->sanchez last week u would be 10pts ahead. Nth points to an adm blank for all the tough fixtures..in fact he could get points..just that maybe sanchez could do better

    8. Randy_Marsh
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Solid advice Triggerlips although I'm becoming a little weary of owning Sterling. Don't think he's worth the coffers at the min

      1. Cookie Thumper
        12 years, 7 days ago

      They all seem like awful options to me

      1. Twelve years a slave

        yes the first two look better than the replacements

    2. emperikal

    Thoughts ?

    1. emperikal
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Wow. Thats some big guns you're bringing in! I kind of like it. Sterling has a great fixture but Newcastle looked better today and Liverpool have looked awful. Think its a risk that could pay off

      1. Jay_
        12 years, 7 days ago

        Yep siggy form and Sterling playing in awful Liverpool big factor ,I need to bring in a Chelsea player for QPR, could have waited to do Sterling > Sanchez but I think playing BUR he will cover the -4, problem is then Costa gone for a while

    2. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Do it

  14. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 7 days ago

    Anyone any current two or three way defensive rotation schemes?

    1. Dr Dream
      12 years, 7 days ago

      It doesn't work Tony..pick one or two from the top of the season ticker for the next few weeks and save yourself the brain ache...

      1. Beavis
        12 years, 7 days ago

        I don't disagree with the tactic but I do think defensive rotations work.

        1. Not Irish
          12 years, 7 days ago

          Best just picking the best players in the best defenses with the best fixtures.

          1. money face bandwagon
            12 years, 7 days ago

            Defensive rotation is to minimize transfers as u have players with good fixtures long term through rotating.

            There need to be a mix though..like maybe clyne baines + rotation.

            I start with a rotation of chester(baines gw7) ferdinand clyne taylor wisdom and have worked well so far..so rotation works especially the big teams not keeping cs

        2. Dr Dream
          12 years, 7 days ago

          Soton was top of the ticker for the first ten GW's (same as last year funnily enough) and have proved the best picks (same as last year funnily enough)...No promises but it's certainly as good a way as any...

          1. Beavis
            12 years, 7 days ago

            Well yeah sure but the fact that I knew I'd have 2 budget players with decent fixtures this week (Dawson/Naylor) got me at least the 1 cleanie, ditto few weeks ago with Lescott/Wilson.

            Maybe I'd rather have Chambers tbh but it's not as clear as "it doesn't work".

  15. emperikal
    12 years, 7 days ago

    Still yet to see a red arrow ๐Ÿ˜ฏ Surely the streak can't last much longer?!

    Here's the current squad:

    Foster - Krul
    Baines - Bertrand - Clyne - Naylor - PVA
    Fabregas - Sterling - Di Maria - Siggy - Downing
    Costa - Welbeck - Pellé

    2 FT this week and unsure what to do with it. Contemplated getting in Hazard or Sanchez for Sterling but otherwise I don't know. Is this the time I squeeze in Kun for Costa?

    1. Total Foot 5
      12 years, 7 days ago

      same here 2ft. lloks good, maybe the sanchez mov e, altho sanches both goals were quite lucky.

      would u drop sigur due to injury and not so good fixture or downing?

      1. emperikal
        12 years, 7 days ago

        Well I got Downing a few weeks back with the intention of playing him the next few weeks to cover for Siggy so I'll just bench this week and reassess

        1. Total Foot 5
          12 years, 7 days ago

          think im dropping sigur and sterling for my 2ft as i too got downing in case i need to play him for the DC injury.

        2. Total Foot 5
          12 years, 7 days ago

          emprerikal what do u thi k best w/ these 2 ft?

          1.2FT sigur + sterling> Oscar + Mane
          2.2FT sigur + sterling> Tadic + Mane (double Sou mid!)
          3. (-4) sigur + sterling + downing > Cesc + Mane + Boyd

          1. emperikal
            12 years, 7 days ago

            Answered above. Out of those I'd say 1. Also perhaps consider Downing for the next few over Mane and get Hazard?

            1. Total Foot 5
              12 years, 7 days ago

              yep. if i get haz, then id have to do sterling + sigur > Haz + 5.6 (diame/SDavis/ or jedinak)
              what do u think?

              rest of team: chadli - adm // welbeck - dcosta - aguero

    How bad was Lukaku today! Very bad. I'd love it if Eto started in the prem instead. Genuine captain choice unlike Lukaku.

        Surprising to be honest.

        1. Beavis
          12 years, 7 days ago

          Not at all, was nowhere near on FFF.

      Why would they buy Clyne..far too late and may as well have had Toby for what was left of the good fixtures...

      1. The Shadow
        12 years, 7 days ago

        Because he's still at the top of the TS list which is all many look at.

        1. Dr Dream
          12 years, 7 days ago

          Aye...only about two or three more good games to come..may as well have saved 0.5...

          1. Zasa
            12 years, 7 days ago

            In hindsight yes, but you can't keep people from points chasing, can ya?

    5. The Shadow

      Price rise time hasn't changed with the resetting of clocks?

      1. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 7 days ago

        It's been 6:43 pm in California and is STILL at 6:43 in California until next weekend when we turn our clocks back.

        1. The Shadow
          12 years, 7 days ago

          The clocks have already gone back in UK which is why your games started an hour later today.

    6. Jay_

      I didn't do my transfers thought it was another hour that's just cost me .1

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        12 years, 7 days ago

        Same. Can't make the moves now.

        1. Jay_
          12 years, 7 days ago

          They should have put a warning on the FPL site I can still afford but feel disheartened now

          1. President John F. Keninnsie
            12 years, 7 days ago

            At least you can still afford it!

      Who the hell has: Vertonghen, Gazzaniga, Westwood, Chiriches, Donacien, Kingsley, Stambouli and is dropping them finally????? Mind boggling.

    Sahko ranks 3rd among forwards for points per game, so with this in mind - Costa out for Sahko and Siggy out for Sanchez worthwhile?

    1. Zasa
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Sahko deemed injured up to a month, not a prosperous move IMO

      1. UpAndAway
        12 years, 7 days ago

        Is he a confirmed out for a month? I saw him go off with a head knock vs City...

        1. The Shadow
          12 years, 7 days ago

          That was the shoulder injury - same play. Scans tomorrow. Out for up to a month.

    2. 1314
      12 years, 7 days ago

      with shoulder injury is he likely to miss at least for a week or two ?

      Arsenal v Burnley
      Chelsea v QPR

  28. Total Foot 5
    12 years, 7 days ago

    Mane: is he now assured 90 minutes?

    he had 90 min, but in the 8-0 that he only played 26 min, was it due to slight knock? thinking of going for him and saving the cash instead of tadic.

    1. MDynamite
      12 years, 7 days ago

      Was because he returned from international duty with Senegal

      1. Total Foot 5
        12 years, 7 days ago

        yep thnx. forgot, think senegal game was on thu. so he is assured then...
