This week’s attempt to get the better of Paddy sees call up Everton’s in-form full-back and City’s free-scoring frontman, whilst we also take a punt on one of Palace’s wide men to do the business against struggling Sunderland.

Everton’s home clash with Swansea ensures Leighton Baines comes into consideration this week. The left-back has produced an incredible series of displays in recent matches, grabbing a goal or assist in six of the last seven, and with Paddy willing to offer 9/1 on Baines to score and the Toffees to keep a clean sheet, we’re willing to make this our bet of the week and fork out £4.

Our next selection is a real punt. Yannick Bolasie failed to score all season Tony Pulis at Palace last season, firing more shots than any player without a goal. This time around, he’s already opened his account in Neil Warnock’s second stint in charge of the Eagles and looks in the mood as struggling Sunderland roll up to Selhurst Park. Paddy are offering 8/1 on a Bolasie goal and Palace clean sheet and with the home side keeping out their opponents in two of the last three in front of their own fans, a further £3 is splashed out here.

Finally, we place out faith in Sergio Aguero for Sunday’s Manchester derby. As mentioned in Thursday’s Captain Sensible piece, the United defence have been far from impressive in recent matches and City are creating Aguero a multitude of chances right now – Paddy are prepared to offer 10/1 on Aguero to score two or more goals and the hosts to keep a clean sheet and we’re convinced enough to throw our final £3 their way.

    If it were possible. I'd gladly save a 3rd FT. Why shouldn't it be possible to save up to 3 FT's?

    1. Mr Smith
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Agreed, if you have the patience and/or the option to save a 3rd i think it should be allowed. Not that i've ever been in that position, mind. 😆

    2. Mr Smith
      12 years, 3 days ago

      The other point, i've seen people using their wildcard for 3 transfers which seems totally bonkers to me.

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Yeah thats just silly. I understand the idea of having a cap on how many transfers you can save to prevent people essentially doing a WC and only changing their team once every two months. However 3FT's isn't much of a change from 2FT's I don't think.

    3. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Ive used my 2 so looks like we have parted ways ryan

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 3 days ago

        There is no right or wrong really. I like options and having the ability to dictate how we use our FT's. I don't like the idea of being 'forced' to make a transfer.

        1. Amateur Pundit Zan
          12 years, 3 days ago

          Yeah its a real mental block to waste one. You almost feel you have to do something like change a keeper even if it does not really help you

          1. Ryan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            12 years, 3 days ago

            Mark showed its possible. Was really impressed with his fortitude to go through with it.

    4. Zombie
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Just change your bench for fun

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 3 days ago

        See I don't necessarily see making a transfer as 'fun'. Playing the game is whats fun, and part of that is having the ability to store transfers for when you really need them.

    5. BeachBadger
      12 years, 3 days ago

      2 transfers is significantly better than 1. I think exponentially 3 might be too great as to make people reluctant to make transfers at all. Of course, the real reason is it means less need for you to visit the site and make your moves

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Yeah I think you last point has a lot to do with it actually. A shame really but I get the feeling it would be rare for someone to hold out for 3 weeks not making a transfer.

        1. BeachBadger
          12 years, 3 days ago

          yeah 2 is tricky enough. But you can do a lot with 3 transfers.

  2. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 3 days ago

    1) which two to start from Chester (SOT) naylor (eve) Clyne (hul)
    2) are we expecting costa to start? Costa or welbeck cpt?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Blimey, thats a tough one. I think they will all concede so go with Clyne who has more attacking threat.

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 3 days ago

        The other option is a toss up. I'd probably go with Naylor

    2. Mr Smith
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Costa(c)

    3. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Bench naylor, captain costa

  3. Sithlord007
    12 years, 3 days ago

    Morning,

    Costa or Sanchez for Captain?

    Cheers

    1. mookie
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Sanchez imo

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Costa

    3. The Left Duke #3
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Costa for me

  4. United13
    12 years, 3 days ago

    Rooney Captain locked in....!

    1. Screaming Midget
      12 years, 3 days ago

      If he does well, I hope ADM sets up all his goals!

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 3 days ago

      😆

    3. PaddyPyne
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Snap!

    4. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Blimey. Thats just a bit mental tbh and I'm a United fan too.

      1. United13
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Ha! Not mental at all I think. He's fresh, eager to impress and be the 'captain', playing an inconsistent team who have grumblings in the dressing room, playing in a team on a massive high after getting a point against Chelsea, think he's the highest scoring derby player that's currently in the team for United too....easy choice 🙂

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 3 days ago

          Well he's certainly capable. Lets hope he's the spark United need right now.

    5. Kevtheotter
      12 years, 3 days ago

      How am I looking?

      Guzan
      Baines Clyne Zabaleta
      Siggy Sterling Mane Hazard
      Costa(c) Kun(vc) Berahino

      McCarthy Boyd Moore Bruce

      Boyd 1st sub look good?

      Cheers

    6. Kevtheotter
      12 years, 3 days ago

      dont know how that happened! Rooney (c) is a fail

      1. United13
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Thanks. Let's see what happens. Your team looks very 'template'-esque. Fine if your happy with that but I would want more differentials....

    7. Luffytaro
      12 years, 3 days ago

      same as me. high 5!!

      hope we can get some greens up the ranks.

  5. Your Mum Zohore

    Mannone

    Jags Clyne Wisdom

    Fab ADM Sterling Tadic

    Costa Kun Sakho

    (Heaton, Cork Moore Hutton)

      1. Your Mum Zohore
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Thank you =)

    2. Screaming Midget
      12 years, 3 days ago

      No Baines or Ivanovic over the next 3 games would be a worry.

      Sakho may miss this weekend.

      1. Your Mum Zohore
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Will have 2 FTs next week could probably do Fab + Hutton => Ivan + Chadli, or something along those lines.

  6. Who Ate All Depays?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 3 days ago

    Aguero or Sanchez for captain ?

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Sanchez

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Sanchez

    3. kalmoffit
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Aguero

  7. Van Dal
    12 years, 3 days ago

    1. kalmoffit
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Is that, up till now.

  8. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 3 days ago

    Costa did not travel today!

    *this is a taste of what is expecting us here in the next 6 hours. Logging off.

    1. mookie
      12 years, 3 days ago

      playing at home tho

      1. Van Dal
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Lol

      2. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Duh, that was the whole point.

        1. mookie
          12 years, 3 days ago

          😳

        2. Van Dal
          12 years, 3 days ago

          Like the recovery 😉

  9. ILOVEBAPS
    12 years, 3 days ago

    To get a green arrow I need one of Costa, Hazard or Sanchez in my team this week don't I? Don't like anyone in my team for captaincy at the mo. 🙁

    Begovic
    Terry, Chambers, Wisdom
    Di María, Sterling, Fábregas(c), Sigurdsson
    Pellè, Agüero, Berahino

    (Gilks, PvA, S.Taylor, JWP)

    0FT & £3.4ITB

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Kun?

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Meh... not feeling it.

        1. Amateur Pundit Zan
          12 years, 3 days ago

          Ive got both sanchez and costa and still going kun but im feeling it different

    2. Sunny 😎
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Either Aguero or Pelle

    3. Paul Huckin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Would go Aguero

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Cheers. Is what everyone was saying last week too. Gut says Chelsea so Fabs it is.

        Unless I take a hit!

    4. mookie
      12 years, 3 days ago

      it has to be Sanchez, Pelle to Costa no worth a hit imo

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Sterling > Sanchez (-4) ??

        1. mookie
          12 years, 3 days ago

          up to you, i wouldn’t but that could go either way

          1. ILOVEBAPS
            12 years, 3 days ago

            Thanks Mookie. Could also be Hazard instead?

            1. mookie
              12 years, 3 days ago

              Sanchez the better option if you need a captain for this week imho

            2. enrico.palazzo
              12 years, 3 days ago

              Hazard definitely.

  10. Paul Huckin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 3 days ago

    Anything to do here other than pray Costa is rusty?

    Beg 4.0
    Baines Clyne Dawson (Hutton Duff)
    Fab ADM Siggy Sanchez (c) (Boyd)
    Aguero Pelle Berahino

    0.9 ITB

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Nope. You are good to go.

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 3 days ago

      No I think it looks fine.

    3. Paul Huckin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Very nervous about Costa, this is the worst I've felt going into a gameweek

      1. theoldgit
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Be afraid. Be very afraid .lol

      2. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Its a terrible feeling. I've felt that way about ADM a few weeks back. Still haven't got him 🙁

        1. Paul Huckin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          12 years, 3 days ago

          The worst thing is I will probably watch the Chelsea game which will make it more painful!

  11. KujaliaFC
    12 years, 3 days ago

    I'm captaining Chamberlain in my FPL team ... because that's how I roll.

    1. Sunny 😎
      12 years, 3 days ago

      😯

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Sounds just like something your grav would do

      1. KujaliaFC
        12 years, 2 days ago

        It's a cunning plan, milord.

        He'll be such a strange looking bird, that nobody will captain him. But I know he's a killer bull!

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      😯

      1. RASPUTIN

        Your not ...... I can feel you caving in to baines

        1. KujaliaFC
          12 years, 3 days ago

          Heresy! Never bench! Never captain!

    4. BeachBadger
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Book marking this for later 😆

      1. KujaliaFC
        12 years, 3 days ago

        For those who think I'm joking, check back here after the deadline: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/6230/event-history/10/

  12. RASPUTIN
    12 years, 3 days ago

    Baines C over costa aguero and ADM?

    1. Screaming Midget
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Baines isn't a bad shout. Could pay off.

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Not a bad bet actually

  13. Siggy Azalea
    12 years, 3 days ago

    Hey Guys, good to go?

    Bego
    Lovren - Ivanovic - Coleman - Clyne
    Siggy - Hazard - Sterling
    Beharino - Welbeck - Costa (C)

    Subs: Zaha - Neil Taylor - Henderson
    Thanks!

    1. kalmoffit
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Perhaps Henderson over Lovren

  14. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 3 days ago

    Play Wilson or Moore?

  15. Pringle
    12 years, 3 days ago

    Worth to do Coloccini --> Dummett as 1 out of 2FT just to free up funds?

    1. Paul Huckin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Depends in the rest of your team

      1. Pringle
        12 years, 3 days ago

        The only reason for it is if Dummett offers the same for less, why not have the cheaper option

        1. Sunny 😎
          12 years, 3 days ago

          Do it

    2. kalmoffit
      12 years, 3 days ago

      I don't think so. Coloccino more sure of starts

  16. orangepeel
    12 years, 3 days ago

    Any Chelsea fans seen Hazard improving over last few weeks?
    I'm thinking of bringing him in for sterling.

    1. Sunny 😎
      12 years, 3 days ago

      He has been great since the first game, just hasn't been able to convert his good play in to FPL points. But he is always on the verge every match. He will get a haul soon

  17. NorwichCityLad
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    12 years, 3 days ago

    Who should I replace silva with a) Downing or b) tadic??

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Depends how you would use the spare cash if you went with Downing.

      1. Sunny 😎
        12 years, 3 days ago

        This

    2. The-Best
      12 years, 3 days ago

      C Oscar

    3. Paul Huckin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Downing is tempting as Saints fixtures stiffen soon and West Ham's ease. The only caveat is that i think Sahko is the West Ham player to have and wouldn't double up

      1. NorwichCityLad
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        12 years, 3 days ago

        My front 3 is Costa lukaku and pelle

  18. mookie
    12 years, 3 days ago

    Good to go?

    Adrián
    Clyne, Baines, Moreno
    Sterling, Sigurdsson, Tadic, Chadli
    Agüero(C), Costa, Welbeck(VC)

    Mannone, Boyd, Hutton, Bardsley

    1FT and 0.7m ITB

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Very good. Jealous of Costa.

    2. Sunny 😎
      12 years, 3 days ago

      You need another premium mid. But that's something for next week. Good to go for now

    3. mozza
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Not considering captaining costa?

      1. mookie
        12 years, 3 days ago

        worried about Mourinho’s special care

    4. PGR
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Surely captain Costa?

    5. mookie
      12 years, 3 days ago

      cheers

  19. The-Best
    12 years, 3 days ago

    I've just brought in Oscar it's a massive risk I know do we expect him to start?

    1. Sunny 😎
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Yes he should start. Jose not impressed by Schurrle and Salah

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 3 days ago

      He's never far away from being benched. I think he'd need to prove he's indispensable to Mourinho in order for him to be safe. Fabregas is a very good #10 in his own right and with Ramires back I'd be worried.

      1. The-Best
        12 years, 3 days ago

        With the opposition being QPR wouldn't bringing in Ramires back for Oscar be a negative move?

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          12 years, 3 days ago

          Indeed it probably will be. However we have to think a little more long term here. I just can't see Oscar starting every week.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Team news says no.

  20. 50pipsDaily
    12 years, 3 days ago

    Sterling to Fab decent move?

    1. John7Sass
      12 years, 3 days ago

      yeah

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Yes it is. I'm seriously considering doing that move myself.

      1. 50pipsDaily
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Thanks ryan, i just need to utilised my 2 ft, really dont know what to do

    3. theoldgit
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Yep.

      1. theoldgit
        12 years, 3 days ago

        Stirling to Hazard would be better IMO.

        1. 50pipsDaily
          12 years, 3 days ago

          Fab/costa combination better than haz/costa imo

          1. 50pipsDaily
            12 years, 3 days ago

            I have costa

            1. theoldgit
              12 years, 3 days ago

              I have Fab/Haz/Costa.

    4. Screaming Midget

      He's only 1 YC from a suspension don't forget.

  21. Rossaldinho

    Hi guys I really can't decide who to captain out of Hazard and Sanchez. Can anyone persuade me?

    FFF pretty much nailed the risers and fallers last night. Seems to be the place to go for the most accurate price projections at this present time.

    Aguero/Sterling > Costa/Sanchez

    Good move?

    1. Evans
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Not Aguero

      1. Ian Davis
        12 years, 3 days ago

        ADM > Sanchez or Hazard?

        1. Evans
          12 years, 3 days ago

          Sanchez

    Fearing for my defense this week. Which one would you play out of:

    A) Caulker(Chelsea away)
    B) Naylor (Everton away)
    C) Duff (Arsenal away)

    1. Evans
      12 years, 3 days ago

      None of them really but at a push caulker

    Good to go? Saving 1FT and 1m in the bank

    Foster (gilks)
    Clyne - Taylor - Chambers (wisdom, Chester)
    Siggy - sterling - Fab - Di Maria (marney)
    Costa (c) - welbeck - aguero

    1. Evans
      12 years, 3 days ago

      Di Maria to Sanchez ?

    For next week:

    a) Pelle + Naylor

    b) Sakho + Baines

    1. Evans
      12 years, 3 days ago

      B

    Morning all...

    Krul
    Baines Terry Clyne
    Eriksen Tadic Sterling Siggy
    Costa(c) Aguero(vc) Welbeck

    Elliott Boyd Duff Yun
    0.6 in the bank

    Took a hit this week and got rid of Caulker, Vardy, Adm and got Costa in for a -4. Now not so sure about the captaincy.. could get a double whammy if aguero scores well and Costa does not. Who to captain from that lot?

      Stick with the plan

    Morning fellas! Which one would you play?

    This is the worst I've felt going into a GW. I have a Sanchez shaped itch in my groin which is begging to be scratched, but there's no easy in. I have two FT, but thinking of just doing Siggy to Chadli and calling it a day.
    Thoughts?

    Forster
    Baines Wisdom Chambers
    Fab ADM Downing Siggy
    Costa (c) Kun Pelle

    Hamer Bertrand Duff Quinn

    Zero in the bank
