Four points clear at the top of the table and eight ahead of defending champions City, Chelsea already look to have a substantial advantage in the title race. Next up for Jose Mourinho’s men is a run of matches which looks poised to bring plenty of Fantasy investment their way – West Brom, Sunderland, Spurs, Newcastle, Hull and Stoke in the upcoming six suggests the league leaders should strengthen their grip at the summit.

When the campaign got underway, it was a two-way battle between Cesc Fabregas and Eden Hazard for our affections, but in recent weeks, Oscar has also thrown his hat in the ring. The Brazilian has now started each of the last six, and having served up three goals, an assist and seven bonus points over that period, has joined Fabregas and Hazard in the top ten of the midfield standings in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game. With this in mind, we take a look at the Blues trio’s displays between Gameweeks 6-11, allowing us to assess their current form ahead of such an enticing schedule.

    @ Doos

    Will you be heading down to watch Messi and co. at Boleyn?

    I missed Costa rise yesterday and it kinda ruin my plan, although salvageable if Clyne rises by next week.

    Cesc Pelle -> Siggy Costa?

    Any price movements on these players anytime soon?

    1. Kip

      they shouldn't rise/fall in the next few days imo

    Looking at Fab to Chadli and Pelle to Aguero (-4), once the International games are done and dusted. I have 0.2 spare, which will be down to 0.1 after tonight's Chadli rise. I may well not make it though with if the gung ho early transfers don't slow down soon. Chadli's stats stack up pretty well compared to Fab, who has the suspected injury and 4 bookings looming. Although I think Pelle will still do ok over the tough period, I need Costa asap and I can maybe get Pelle back for Welb soon enough.

      Your linked team is incorrect.

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          You already have Aguero in that team...

            i think he means costa instead of aguero

            *Sorry Costa. Too many Sherries! 😉

            1. Walsh
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 8 months ago

              Right then 🙂 I would definitely not do that for a hit. I would save and do it next week for free.

              1. darko
                • 15 Years
                11 years, 8 months ago

                Cheers. Might be forced to anyway.

      1. darko
        • 15 Years

        Its fine?

    2. Sweetpea
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Good moves.

      Fab could fall soon meaning you'll be on the money before u know it...

      1. darko
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        FPL stats says -30%. You might be right though.

    3. dierstraights
      • 17 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      i think they are good transfers
      i had to do mine early this week. not how i like it, but had only the exact funds and don't always get chance to check price changes edvery night

      1. darko
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, don't get the logic with all these early transfers before the int games, but it's wishful thinking to hope that they will slow down enough. May have to hang on for another week. We'll see.

  4. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years

    For Long term andnext few GWS who must have in ur Team ?

    A- ADM

    B- FAB

    1. Sweetpea
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Neither must haves but a better imo

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        THANX SWEEEEEEEEET

  5. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Were there some stats saying that Chadli had been insanely lucky in conversion to shots ratio?

    Trying to talk myself out of having to get him.

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Very high conversion rate, yes. The members area has a lot of handy stats..... 🙂

    2. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Something like 37% High like Sanchez's but not insanely high. Likely to go down alright, but then again most are suggesting his liklihood of assists should go up

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        That's ridiculous re his assists. Nobody else on Spurs can score at the moment.

        1. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          😆 I think that's the point. Nobody is finishing off his crosses. One will surely bounce off the back of Adebayors head at some point 😀

    3. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Why must it be attributed to luck? It could also mean he's very good at putting chances away when he gets them

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Good point, probably the wrong choice of words, but means it's more likely to be unsustainable

        1. UnderstandablyDistraught
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          I agree with you there

      2. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Theres good and then theres too good, if you know what I mean? Some rates just can't be kept up or they'll be on par/better than the best players in the world.

        1. UnderstandablyDistraught
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          I thought for a minute about whether he could actually become one of the the best players in the world but then I remembered he plays for Spurs

          1. BeachBadger
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 8 months ago

            😆 So did Bale 😉

            1. UnderstandablyDistraught
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 8 months ago

              🙂 So he could then, am keeping

              1. BeachBadger
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 8 months ago

                😆 Im keeping myself. I just wouldnt be sure of buying him is all

    4. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Don't talk yourself out of it for too long - he's going to rise tonight! (25 mins)

      1. davies
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Doh... + 1 hour.

    5. Saint & Reevesy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Doesn't that just mean his good or at least in form?

      I understand the perspective, but it also does seem odd to use a positive stat in a negative context, using that same logic all the players with terrible stats should come good so let's buy them?

      1. Think Tank
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Chadli is a poacher, that's why his conversion rate is so high.

      2. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Yes but can he sustain that sort of conversion rate? Or has he had his purple patch like many a player will go through. I mean if he can sustain it he's essential but I haven't seen enough of Spurs play to know if he's actually any good.

    6. Zasa
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      The last Chad I had on a fantasy game was Chad Johnson in the 10-11 season.
      That did not go well, lesson learned on Chad's

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Thank you, this has been more inspiring that you might ever know....

        1. Zasa

          Always got your back mate 🙂

    7. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Sometimes the only stat you need us the one staring you right in the face, I.e. How many goals he's scored.

  6. leo_messi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    A Lloris & Schneiderlin -> Green & Walters

    B Lloris & Chambers -> Adrian & Yun

    Both option will allow me to get Aguero....

    1. Saint & Reevesy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      B.

    2. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      B) out of the options provided, imo.

    3. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      B easily (seeing as you won't need to play Yun and your other keeper is crap)

    4. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Like either except someone other than Walters. Prefer B anyways as it means your not reliant on a QPR keeper every week

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Good old Jonno Walters will show you 😉

        1. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          lol are you still going ahead with this madness? 😆

    5. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I like A with Foster over Green?

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Actually Krul over Foster

      thanks guys

  7. Arvin-ation

    Bojan + Schurrle ----> Austin + Walters(-4)

    Yay or Nay? Good moves?

    1. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Can't be serious re: Walters?

      Nay.

    2. BeachBadger

      Out of the frying pan ...

    3. Sess!

      Why the Geoff have you still gut schurlle?

      1. Arvin-ation

        Just messin' about 😉

        1. Sess!

          Was gonna say you mad hatter.

  8. Think Tank
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Forster (Elliot)

    Coleman Baines Chambers (Duff, Wiadom)

    ADM Sanchez Fabregas Chadli (Boyd)

    Pelle Aguero Austin

    0.5 itb and at a crossroads - would like Pelle to Costa whilst keeping Coleman, any ideas please?

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Ditch Fabregasfor Siggy?

      1. Think Tank
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Hmm, don't like Siggy - think prem teams will snuff him out soon enough.

        1. Arvin-ation
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          prem teams? He's always been in the prem league!

          1. Think Tank
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 8 months ago

            I mean that Siggy will get marked out of games - stop Siggy, Swansea don't score. It's happened already, hence the downturn in returns.

        2. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Prem as in premium? Cos he doesnt face much of them soon. Fixtures are great.

      2. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Mate, you're doing incredibly well this season! Bloody hell, you're JUST outside the top 100! Well done mate...really well played. Keep it up and best of luck!

        1. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Cheers mate. Hoping I can muscle my way onto page 1. That would be a dream. BUt just trying to avoid a drop is going to be tough. Red arrow is well overdue 😆

    2. darko
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      how much cash spare?

      1. Think Tank
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        .5

        Good lose Forster, Chambers and Chadli to Krul, Yun and Downing to fund the move but it'll take a few weeks and Costa could rise out of reach in that time.

        1. darko
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          I'd go Fab to Downing then, to free up the cash.

          1. Think Tank
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 8 months ago

            Fab to Downing was a move I was looking at.

            Frees up some money too. Good shout. Wondering if Coleman is worth that though...

            1. darko
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 8 months ago

              Well you've got Baines, so I wouldn't get too hung-up on Coleman, even though I'm a big fan. I'd recommend Dummet as a replacement, to free up similar money.

              1. Think Tank
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 8 months ago

                Yeah, Dummet is the enabler I was looking at:

                Coleman, Fab and Pelle to Dummet, Haz and Costa.

                Gives me ADM, Sanchez and Haz in midfield, Aguero and Costa up top with Baines at the back. can't help shake the feeling that Coleman is a better pick than Costa.

                Thanks for your input, appreciated 🙂

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

    a) Fab Chambers to Downing Baines (-4)
    b) ADM to Hazard

    Nice little tool comparing the three "big mids" this year for any non-members out there.

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Link's coming up a bit dodgy, just copy it all anyway.

  11. Saint & Reevesy
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    What's everybodies views about when to make transfers during the international break.

    Go early and risk the injuries but catch the price rises?

    Or hold off pay more but know you're not transfering and injured player?

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      A
      Unlikely that they get injured, tbh.

    2. darko
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Ideally after the final ball is kicked. Always a risky game catching the rises unless you're on a wc.

    3. davies
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      More likely you'll be burned by price changes than injuries.

    4. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Unless it;s a big price swing or you're priced out I would hold off

      1. Saint & Reevesy
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Haha I'm firmly in the 'do your transfers early' camp.

        The main reason for me though is so I don't waste time agonising all week, make the call early, do it with confidence and know that it will be wrong reasonably often 🙂

        1. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          I've done one already myself cos I dislike looking over my shoulder at price rises and worried I might miss then. It;s a nice relief alright to lock it in and forget about it for another week lol

    5. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I gambled and did it early. Sick of missing out on price rises.

    6. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I already did Fabregas+Welbeck >Sanchez + Austin. I think its a waste to lose money on players when the risk of injury is so small. How many players get injured really?

      I also happen to have a selection dilemma in GW12. If worst comes to worst a -4 hit isn't the worst thing in the world.

    7. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I've always been the gambling man. Yes I'll get burnt every so often but I'll be rich I tell you....RICH!!

  12. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Who will actually keep Baines once his good fixtures run out?

    1. darko
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Probably keep, unless he seriously drops off in form or gets injured.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      He doesn't have a bad run of fixtures all season. I'd keep him if he did.

    3. MadridistaRants
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      With Baines, the fixtures don't matter. Every game he gets chances to get an assist & he's on penalties too. The CS's are an added bonus.

    4. rickardinho
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Baines got an assist and missed a pen at United and also got an assist vs Chelsea. Fixture proof.

    5. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Their (mildly) bad run starts in February and doesnt seem all that bad. I hate to throw out this word, be he could realistically be a season keeper, esp if he keeps going the way he is now

    6. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Baines doesn't need good fixtures.

    7. Zasa
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      The fixtures should be afraid of Baines

  13. JB_FC
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Should I do Pelle > Costa now for free, or do it after the international break?

    1. Think Tank
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Hold off until price rise is imminent.

      1. JB_FC
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        I think price rises can happen anytime though, as we seen with Costa last night

    2. darko
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, do it. Costa is being rested I believe.

      1. JB_FC
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Is Pelle better for the next GW though (against AVL), and make the transfer after that?

        1. Think Tank
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Costa won't rise now for at least a week.

          Keep track with fplstatistics.co.uk

          Tough one. They might be quite tricky at Villa park, but he could easily do Ok. I'm just a bit wary of a Costa hat-trick against West Brom.

          1. JB_FC
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah true, especially with him being rested from int'l he could do well at home to West Brom.

            I think I'll make the transfer now, the likelihood of him getting injured between now and then is little, and I don't have to worry about price rises as well!

              Unless he stubs his toe in the shower, you should be ok on that one.

        1. Coaly
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Clyne would have to become 4.6 or less. Not much to choose from down there

      2. Saint & Reevesy
        • 13 Years

        Haha sounds like you play Boyd as much as I do 🙂

    2. davies

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Hey there Delilah

    2. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I'd ditch DDG for Krul or Adrian

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Didn't see Fab theree....swap for Hazard?

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I'd get Sanchez/Di Maria/Hazard. It's up to you how many to get and how to get them. If you gave options, I'd vote.

    4. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I would disown it and move to another country...

      Or just Pelle to Ayoze and Sterling to Sanchez.

    5. MadridistaRants
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe try & get Sanchez in? But to do that you'll have to do Pelle>Sakho & Pelle has Villa this GW so maybe in the next GW.

    6. Miracallas
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling > Hazard
      Pelle > Sakho

      or

      Sterling > Hazard
      Pelle > Welbeck
      De Gea > Guzan

      1. UnderstandablyDistraught
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        that's not bad but why Guzan?

    7. Saint & Reevesy
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Get rid of sterling. If you're able Sanchez can't be ignored. Keepers don't inspire me either

  16. leo_messi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Ok guys,I think I'm done.How does it look now?

    Adrian - Schmeichel

    Baines - Clyne - Dummett - Naylor - Yun

    Chadli - ADM - Sanchez - Downing - Schneiderlin

    Aguero - Costa - Berahino

    1. darko
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah good!

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Prefer Austin/Ayoze to Berhino and probably Krul to Adrian. If that leaves you enough cash upgrade Naylor to Cresswell and maybe Yun to someone who isn't utter turd.

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Also Schderlin is a waste. If you're not going to play him then get someone cheaper like wanyama and use the money elsewhere

        1. Bartowski
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          And you miles as well get Pantilimon rather than Kasper

          1. leo_messi
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 8 months ago

            but its not a wilcard team 🙂

            1. Bartowski
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 8 months ago

              Oh then disregard everything I have just said

              1. davies
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 8 months ago

                • 14 Years
                11 years, 8 months ago

                I have Schmeichel,Schneiderlin and Naylor from the start...my plan is:

                Loris,Chambers and Pelle to Adrian,Kun and Aguero

                or

                Loris,Schneiderlin and Pelle to Green/Guzan,Walters and Kun

                1. Bartowski
                  • 15 Years
                  11 years, 8 months ago

                  Can you just do the later but get Krul?

                  1. leo_messi
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 14 Years
                    11 years, 8 months ago

                    I already have Dummett so don't want to double up on Newcastle defence..

                2. Bartowski
                  • 15 Years
                  11 years, 8 months ago

                  In fact seeing as you're not going to play him anyway, get Wanyama and then you can afford a more expensive keeper such as Adrian (although think I would still prefer Krul)

  17. Van Dal
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Hey party ppl

  18. Jacketts Potatoes
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Evening folks... Happier with my team now but wanting Costa back and I'm going to take a -4.... I think it's going to be

    Tadic to ?
    &
    Welbs/Pelle to Costa

    If I go Pelle to Costa I have £6.2m to shell out on the Tadic replacement. If I drop Welbs I'll have £5.3m to spend.

    Any ideas for credible replacements?

    Thinking Downing maybe

    Also considered wanyama and schneiderlin as cheaper Southampton mid options.... Ultimately it's about getting Costa back as for me my essentials are Baines, Sanchez, Kun & Costa

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Downing good option.

      I agree with your essentials

    2. MadridistaRants
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Tadic > Downing/Chadli. I did Tadic > Downing 2 GWs back.

    3. Jacketts Potatoes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      To be honest I've held on to Tadic for a while now because others needed to go more urgently such as Raheem. I'd like Chadli but funds won't allow.

      I'm just not seeing many stand out options at the moment

  19. Ser Football 42
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Ivan or Trippier and money

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Not a Burnley defender....ever.

      1. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        4/11 CS. Not terrible for around 4.5m

        1. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Trippier was 5. Now down to 4.8 still a decent return but 5m for a Burnley defender. No way I was going near that lol

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 8 months ago

            assists and bap magnet..

            1. BeachBadger
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 8 months ago

              He got his first assist last week lol Thank god he did or Granville probably would have gone mad

              1. Ser Football 42
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 8 months ago

                So maybe just keep Ivan ?

                1. BeachBadger
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 8 months ago

                  I would keep Ivan unless you have a plan for that cash

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      What are you going to do with the money? Hookers and blow?

      1. UnderstandablyDistraught
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        I miss the 80s

  20. Saint & Reevesy
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Hazard seems to be a divisive player.

    I see many saying he's great and when RMTs don't have him that he should be brought in. But many suggesting he should be transferred out when RMTs include Hazard.......

    Personally I think he and Costa are going to score for fun over the next month or so.

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Owning Costa over the Christmas period is going to be quite stressful imo. So prone to getting rested at any point but in the games he does play should score well. I don't know what to make of Hazard at the moment, he's playing well but not turning it into points.

      1. Saint & Reevesy
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        I take your point but I think not owning Costa is more stressful. He's so clinical and that them will always create chances.

        1. Mull
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          I'm prepared to go without. Don't think he's an essential purchase if I'll never captain him when I own Aguero.

      2. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        This is good point, makes me realise how important squad depth will be over this period

    2. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Been thinking he would explode for weeks and weeks but just not happened yet. I'm getting him this week, hoping to time it right but who knows

      1. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        If he explodes I'm going to turn into the FPL hipster. I had him before he was mainstream etc.

        1. Amateur Pundit Zan
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Like many of the best things in life, timing is everything.

    3. Miracallas
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard detonation imminent

      1. UnderstandablyDistraught
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        bodes well for Belgium

        1. Miracallas
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Hazard detonation penultimate

    4. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I really do want him in but it makes no sense getting him until he starts scoring points or Fab is injured

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        the trick is to get him WHEN he STARTS scoring points. Plus Fab is injured 😉

        1. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          I wouldnt go spreading that Fab is injured rumour about. He had an MRI scan with Spain and they found no hamstring damage. Hes just feeling 'discomfort' Sounds more like an international injury by the minute

  21. Man Chest Hair United
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    New crowd so will ask again. Winning my mini league and having a good season ranked 2012th. Wondering weather to take a hit this week to get in Baines. Would mean doing fab to downing and either duff or wisdom to Baines. Already have Costa Aguero Sanchez and Adm . I would loose significant team value but gain Baines

  22. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Di Maria to Chadli before the price rises?

    Tell me now and tell me quick....

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      only if your funding kun.

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        This my aptly named friend is the major reason for the downgrade

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          😀

          go for it mate.

        2. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          If its for Kun I would do it

        3. Bojaninho
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          yes

      2. Miracallas
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        or if you're funding co

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          disagree. i would for kun but not for costa.

        2. Bartowski
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          I have Costa

    2. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Look at GW13 and GW14.

    3. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Feck it, I have pulled the trigger. Thank you gentlemen.

  23. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    I only have one FT. Willing to take a hit to get Baines in now.

    team:

    Bego
    Chambers Clyne Moore Wisdom Duff
    ADM Sanchez Hazard Siggy Boyd
    Aguero Costa Sakho

    What moves would you make to get Baines in here?

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I owuld ditch ADM out of that lot. Not an easy call

    2. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Facing a similar dilemma kind of hopping to go without and pray he doesn't punish us too much

      1. bigbudgie
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Well that's my other option

        Judging who out of Sanchez, Hazard and ADM to drop to get Baines in ...at the moment it would have to be ADM. But if he goes, I have to get Rooney, and that doesn't work with Baines too!
        United fan here too!

    3. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      adm to downing

  24. Jacketts Potatoes
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Ok here goes.

    My team currently looks like this
    Krul Green
    Baines Clyne Chambers Wisdom Duff
    Sanchez Fab Tadic Siggy Jedinak
    KUN Pelle Welbeck

    1ft and £1.4m in the bank

    As I've posted earlier I need Costa back and my likely -4 hit is going to be

    Tadic & Pelle to Downing & Costa

    1.) is this my best move
    2.) can you see any other sensible moves
    3.) is appreciate honest views on the team

    1. Bojaninho
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      its not bad but with Downing it feels a bit like point chasing, he does have solid fixtures so i would prob say go ahead if your desperate for Costa love

      1. Jacketts Potatoes
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        I do agree. I'd sooner gave Chadli but finances won't quite allow.... It's as much as money thing as it is a "past form" thing

    2. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Like the moves. Can you wait one more week and do them for free though?

      1. Jacketts Potatoes
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        I'm thinking cash really. Costa will rise again I'm certain. That's my only reason for rushing really

        1. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah hate that when you look to be losing money on players you want to have. Tough call mate. If its only a 0.1 differemce Id probably wait but if its more yeah i can see why youd pulling the trigger

    3. Miracallas
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I think that's a solid move

      Fab > Haz would avoid the suspension tightrope

      1. Jacketts Potatoes
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed. I'm waiting really hoping I don't miss an explosion.

  25. Bojaninho
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    gents

    Krul,Taylor

    Baines,Ivan,Hutton,Clyne,Wisdom

    Fab,Sanchez,Chadli,Siggy,Jones

    Aguero,Wellbeck,Pelle

    0.6 and 2fts

    ideas:
    1.Hutton >Naylor (bench v city)
    2.Fab depending on news on his injury> Oscar/Hazard
    3.any other ideas.

    thanks in advance 😀

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Fab out depending on news is the obvious one. Downgrade Welbeck or Ivan to fund a Costa move maybe?

  26. Jacketts Potatoes
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Ivan to somebody like Chambers
    Pelle to Costa

    1. Jacketts Potatoes

  28. Rolf Harris Saint Germain
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Not sure whether to stick with Fabregas and give Boyd a run out or transfer Fab out and take a -4 hit

    Any suggestions?

    1. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Fabs will probably play

      1. Rolf Harris Saint Germain
        • 12 Years
