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.

    What a superb article! Bravo FFS, Bravo Paul 🙂

      Agree. Other than the desire to give back, these articles are the reason I am a member. Does all the heavy lifting on the stats I have access to as a member but am too lazy to dig out myself.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Exactly 🙂

    Anyone around who takes screenshots every year or has a good memory?

    I'm wondering roughly around what week your rank generally starts to settle to where it doesn't move much...

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I have screenshots of each of my seasons.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Give me a sec

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Its a different season. 40 points behind me is almost 100k, I'm at 17k. It will stabilize at around gw 30 probably

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Of course it all depends how good a start you've made. All my starts have been terrible.

      But roughly speaking, GW25 -> GW30.

      I suppose if you're a FFSer and use your winter WC wisely, this makes sense.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers for looking. I guess making moves up the rankings is important early on as later on movement will be limited.

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          NP.
          ofc a good start is what it all comes down to. I've never had one before this season, so I'm in unknown territory.

    4. Fisher
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah i do. It never really does. It just gradually gets more stable. I usually start moving upwards after christmas and end the season on a high. (Slow starter).

      But this season i'm allready in the top 50 so guess this season only can take fall :/ anyway, i'll try 😉

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        😯 well done! Did you used to be called Disco Stu and just kept the grav?

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

          Thanks. No i'm not. Got the name in a period in a period where everyone was finding their own version of bemba da. And then not been very active since 😉

          1. RoysCallerAnne
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            11 years, 8 months ago

            ok 🙂 I remember a guy on here was called Disco Stu.

            Link yiur team, make us all jealous 😉

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

              I'm easy to find as i'm probarbly the only one there with no sanchez. 27080 is the id.

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

                Top 50, no Sanchez. Well done mate.

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Aye true, impossible to pin point a definition of when it becomes stable as such.
        Why no link to your team? 😯

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

          27080. Afraid some of my ML friends will find me here and accuse me of spending to much time on it 😉 wich i'm not haha 😀

    5. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Last season I started terribly and didn't reach top 100k until about gw35. Finished 28k which was my highest rank of the season.

      It's never too late to achieve a respectable rank although I really want at least top 10k this year, so that probably requires being within touching distance in Jan

      1. Marknlard
        • 17 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        I agree with this. In the past few seasons I've made big impressions in the last five or six weeks of the season. Saying that, I have had a couple of rough seasons - I finished around 10k and around 35k having struggled for most of the season.

        Finished around 35k last season having still been outside the top million in GW10. I find that people start to make serious point hits after GW30, so if you plan well for the run-in you can move upwards.

        Depends on rank though, if I went into the run-in in the top 5k, I wouldn't expect to shoot up.

    Will Begovic be fit to play Burnley?

    1. BenjaniMwaruwari
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Not trying to be rude, but how on earth should anyone on here know?

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Rude basterd 😉

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Just had a guick chat with him via skype. He said Bego would be fit for Burnley, and quoted him "Looking forward to continue conceding without save points". Hope this info helps.

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

            Thanks. That's reassuring.

    2. Epic Fail

      Not if I've got anything to do with it, which I do.

  6. NABIL - FPL otai

    Morning DZ.

    Will Chester fall today? Can hardly afford it..

    1. BenjaniMwaruwari
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Hardly no transfers out, would be very surprised if he falls during the break. Fellow owner here.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. But price falls can be very unpredictable this season. Would love to avoid another one from him.

        1. BenjaniMwaruwari
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Since his drop he has had 8.6 K net transfer in, during this GW he has had 2.4 K transfers out. Would be shocked to see him fall during the break and if he is going to fall the earliest will be friday prior to GW bar injury's.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 8 months ago

            I see. Do you plan to sell him anyway? I definitely need to do it someday somehow, to fund Fab -> ADM/Haz either this week or in GW13.

            1. BenjaniMwaruwari
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 8 months ago

              I would like to save transfer instead. If I were in your shoes I would at least wait for Haz/ADM to play their nationals before transfering and probably also wait for a update on Fab. Transfers will be a small fraction of what they normally are for the next 8 days. Good luck anyway!

              1. NABIL - FPL otai
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 8 months ago

                Yep, the proposed big tranny will only happen after the int games. Cheers!

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      No, according to FFF. He's falling in 2 days time according to them.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks man. Yrah, I think he's going to fall at least once over this int break.

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

      Didn't fall today mate, you're still alive 😉

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks God! 😀

  7. IL Fantasista
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Tadic to Chadli. Yay or Nay?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Yay

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

      Yay, I'd say.

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Aye, though the backfire potential is high.

    4. Fisher
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      For the next game, naah. But for the next 5, sure.

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

      Yay, though can you wait a week?

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

    Team as of now:

    Forster (Heaton)
    Baines Chambers Clyne (Duff Konchesky)
    Sanchez Chadli Downing Siggy (Barkley)
    Kun Pelle Welbeck

    Need to get Costa back in, how does Barkley and Welbeck to Milner and Costa? It's exact cash and I'm worried about him rising...

    1. Jebus Saves
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Wouldn't bother with Milner.

    2. BenjaniMwaruwari
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Would rather take Boyd or some other cheap bench fodder over Milner and use the cash to upgrade Clyne/midfield in the near future.

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

      I'd do Barkley to Boyd & Welbz to Costa
      Following week I'd offload Pelle to a 6.0 & invest in the midfield

  9. justgiving.com/JonnyChard
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Berahino, Fabregas, ADM -> Costa, Chadli, Siggy (-8) ?

    Thanks gents!

    Forster, Myhill

    Bertrand, Baines, Chambers, Rose, Wisdom

    Fabregas, ADM, Sanchez, Downing, Boyd

    Aguero, Pelle, Berahino

    £0.0, 1FT

    1. coran2123
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Wouldn't take a -8 for it

      1. justgiving.com/JonnyChard
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        could have just taken a -4 to get Costa in yesterday had it not been for his mysterious price rise.. just conscious of Fab's injury, 4 yellows, and Chadli's price rise, just mulling lots of options over 🙂 I could just save FT, but my gut is telling me to shake things up a bit...

        1. coran2123
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          As a Chadli owner I would expect his points to dry up soon, Spurs are playing terribly and he's made the most of a few chances over the past couple of games. However if the -8 is a longer-term thing then it could very well pay off, I've had Aguero and Costa since GW4/5 🙂

          1. justgiving.com/JonnyChard
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 8 months ago

            Shows in your rank, doing well! 🙂

            The moves would be for long term, but it's whether the latter would outscore the former... are there any suggestions you could possibly give alternatively?

            1. coran2123
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 8 months ago

              Cheers, it's (K)un I have to thank though, ~80 points the last 4 times I captained him 😀

              I'm personally looking at selling Forster myself, so that could be an option to free up 0.5. You could also sell Rose for Dummett/Saylor so that gives you another 1.0 to play with.

  10. coran2123
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Hey lads, will Saylor be nailed on til Xmas?

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

      Jesus was nailed on Easter...

      1. coran2123
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers, just what I was looking for

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

          But seriously, he can't be much worse than Williamson, and there upturn in form with him in the side gives me no reason to believe he should be dropped barring injury.

          1. coran2123
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 8 months ago

            Was thinking along those lines, thank you very much

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

    Eriksen really stinking up my team. Thinking of going to Chadli but very sideways.

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

      I did that this week. Tough to take but had to be done.

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

      I made the exact same transfer two weeks ago in order to raise funds, it only came good to me, until now at least. It is easier to take now.

  12. Cookie Thumper
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Oh crap. How does Oscar rise with only a few transfers in? That's my 3 week plan buggered.

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      good thing he didn't rise

    Hopefully a regular on FFS wins FPL this year. Lots of people seem to be doing well this year so it's not impossible for it to happen. By regular I mean one that's been here for a few years not someone who turned up last week already in the top 100.

    1. Cookie Thumper
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I've been here a few years under different names. I'm top 250. Doubt I'll go higher as it's so easy to F it up.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Get a grav, stick to one name and get more involved 😉

        Well done, great going 😀

        1. Cookie Thumper
          • 11 Years

          Thank you. Yes I will do that. Been playing fantasy prem since it started. With changing jobs and email addresses a few times, I forget passwords etc. Pity as my history would have been not bad.

      Team Oranje is lobbying for our man Timtastic atm, the current #1 OR 😉

        My bad, he slid down a bit but still in a very commendable position.

      2. BeachBadger

        Yeah Timtastic is going great. Hope he keeps it up

      Hey Mull.

      Yeah it would be brilliant if a regular poster won it. King Mil Less, TimTastic ( i think he's 5th )
      Tinkerman are all in the top 100.

      Mark is top 500 too.

      All just place holders for the mighty Triggerlips. He will win it. He is God.

        On Triggerlips RCA....a few years ago i feel sure their was a guy on here called Tiggerlips who really knew his stuff. Are they the same guy ❓

          Not sure. I'm on here 5 years, it's difficult to remember all the sly fooks changing their user names and links 😉

            😆 yeah ive been lurking around for that sorta time frame i reckon, but feel sure a poster called Tiggerlips was around when i 1st started.

    5. maglia rosa

      I'd be happy for anyone involved with FFS to win overall tbh.......their are i'm sure a shit load of lurkers around who get out of the site what they need and make their decisions accordingly.

              Cheers RCA not wishing to blow smake up ur ass bud but your one of the guys who i take notice of tbh so thanx for the praise. Old Farts is indeed a seriously good league.....i have a constant supply of tissues by my side for the frequent nose bleeds i've been getting. Long way to go though so who knows where i'll end up come week 35 😛

      So far this game week without making a transfer I've had 7 of the 8 rises and no falls. My team is so hot right now 🙂

      But I missed out on Austin, has someone not on WC managed the clean sweep?

      Boooring

      Chadli owners are gonna be so disappointed when he can't keep scoring with 28% of his shots

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

        Hopefully I'll be able to do a straight swap for siggy without costing £ by then 🙂

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

        Though i have to say im happy that the Chadli buys are working as a buffer for Siggy, as they make sure Siggy won't rise until GW13 😀

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

          I'm sure the Downing owners will be lording it over us 🙄 Funny all this huffing and puffing I reckon they'll all finish fairly similarly on points lol

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

      Is that Chadlis second rise of the week?

  15. Sting
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    With Spurs this poor is Chadli worth it?

    1. coran2123
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      There's better options out there to say the least (Downing, Siggy, etc)

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

      If you don't have Siggy get him from GW13 and beyond.

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

      I think Chadli offers good value even with Spurs being poor and a nice bit of 'cover' for them if you feel that way inclined if they do start to pick up.

      Don't think he merits fussing over to be honest. If you have him keep, if you don't don't worry about him 😆

    4. Fisher
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      same can be said about arsenal and sanchez, United and di maria, everton and baines and so on.. good players delivers anyway i guess..

      I'm not a chadli owner btw.

  16. Kurtinho
    • 11 Years

    Do y'all think Pelle might drop in price this gameweek? His price is key to my future transfers..

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

      Highly doubt it

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

      I don't think so but I hope so - more sellers, bigger differential if just for one game.

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

      Hope he does well against villa, if he do i really would want to keep him during the socalled tough fixtures

  17. traffords
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Bego/Elliot
    Baines/Clyne/Chambers/Duff/Moore
    Fab/ADM/Sanchez/Siggy/Boyd
    Aguero/Pelle/Berahino

    Better move for -4?
    Fab & Pelle > Costa & Chadli
    Fab & a Bego > Hazard & Krul

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      the latter if Fab is really injured and Hazard is unscathed over the int break.

  18. Norco
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Going forward from GW13 to the January WC, who would you prefer to have as the following replacements.

    I would potentionally like to downgrade both Forster and Clyne, then upgrade either Moore/Duff/Wisdom over the next two weeks.

    Replace Forster with:
    1. Guzan (AVL) - 4.6
    2. Krul (NEW) - 4.5
    3. Adrian (WHU) - 5.0
    4. Fabianski (SWA) - 5.1

    Pick two without doubling up with same team as keeper:
    A. Vlaar (AVL) - 4.5
    B. Dummett (NEW) - 4.1
    C. Coloccini (NEW) - 4.5
    D. Cresswell (WHU) - 5.4
    E. N Taylor (SWA) - 4.7

    2FT and cash available is 14.4 - 14.6 mil

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

      Guzan & Dummet

      Cheapest combo and I think it balances itself out - Guzan way more save points and potential baps, Colo won't be scoring every week.

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

        Thanks Shifty, much appreciated.

        If I go Guzan and Dummet, that gives me 5.7-5.9 mil to upgrade Moore.

        How does this look:

        Guzan
        Baines Cresswell* Dummet Wisdom Duff?

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

          WHU defence not as tight this season and I don't think they will improve as long as they stick to a Valencia/Sakho attack. Unless it shifts back to an attack revolving around Nolan/Carroll...I wouldn't touch their defence.

          I would go Coleman/Jags.

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

      Was gonna add on - for jan WC is the time to put more money into defence. Until then, stick with the cheapies imo. Teams are going to be rotated and likely to concede goals over the xmas period I believe.

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

        Thanks for the insight there, the festive season is make or break I reckon.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      4B or 2E.

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

        Swansea/Newcastle combo? I like the Swansea fixtures coming up, could be potential for good points.

        Could even go:
        Fabianski
        Cresswell Dummet

        or

        Krul
        Cresswell N.Taylor

      2. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years

    4. Amateur Pundit Zan

      Dummett, Taylor, Guzan

      Reinvest the rest

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

        Thanks Zan. Gives me 1.0 mill in the bank going forward which is handy.

        Gives me a back line of:
        Guzan
        Baines Taylor Wisdom Dummett Duff

        Front 8 is:
        Sanchez Fab Siggy Chadli Boyd
        Aguero Costa Pelle

  19. coran2123

    1. coran2123

      RF to above

  20. ChampionoftheWorld
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    I still cannot make up my mind, help me! Choice of newcastle defender 4.5 and below.

    Colo - 4.5 captain so nailed on. But he was sub out of the last game, any injury concern?

    Dummett - Less nailed than Colo, but cheaper at only 4.1. Good that he started the game as centreback when Williamson was available. Worry is when will Santon be back?

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

      Krul at 4.5 is the best option in that defense. Ditto for Begovic 4.9 in Stoke defense.

      In outfield, its probably safest to choose Coloccini, though the Dummett gamble could pay off.

      As a general rule I only buy players who are 90-100% nailed on, so i probably wouldnt buy dummett

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        all depends on when Santon is back..which is very enigmatic atm

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

          yeah, Haidara, Santon, Williamson, Saylor, etc... alot of risk there imo.

          From a 4.0 you really want to be choosing someone who is 100% going to be available for that 1-2, maybe 3 fixtures you need them for, otherwise there's no point.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 8 months ago

            Do we thin Yun is nailed on now? I like his fixtures and style of play.

            1. NABIL - FPL otai
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 8 months ago

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

            So would you say only Janmatt and Colo are certain of their places?

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

        Thanks, was looking for a defender to rotate with the rest of my defence.

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

          whats your defense?

          I can recommend Baines-Clyne-Chambers-Naylor-Wisdom. Absolutely perfect rotation, with the only exception being this GW when I play Chambers(MUN). Clyne could even be taken out and the other 4 would still rotate reasonably well.

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

            Defence is Baines Bertrand Chambers Naylor Hutton. Pretty similar our defence.

            Baines will play regardless of fixtures.

            (NEW) Chambers Naylor Hutton rotates very well.

  21. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Fab + Vlaar > Baines + Downing for a hit worth it?

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

      I'm in the exactly the same position but duff instead of vlarr it's a toughie. I'm thinking of keeping fab and hoping Baines slows down. He would have had 2 on the weekend if not for the pen and he won't get them too often

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

        Yeah. Its agonizing not having Baines in my team.

  22. Kurtinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Krul (Schmeichel)
    Baines, Kaboul, Chambers (Colo, Wisdom)
    Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Chadli (Boyd)
    Aguero, Pelle, Austin

    0 FT, 3.4m in the bank.

    Plan is to do Pelle to Costa next week, which leaves me with 0.5m, and then downgrading Schmeichel to Elliot the week after which allows me to upgrade Kaboul to Azpi.

    Sound like a good plan? Or is there something else I should be considering?

              Yep, for Coleman as well.

                  anytime now... 🙂

  24. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    What to do with this lot?

    Forster
    Clyne dummett Baines
    Hazard tadic Siggy adm
    Kun costa Berahino

    4.0 chester Pva King

    2FT's and no money ITB

    I want to keep Saints lot one more week. Maybe just get rid of injured player Pva to someone cheap and save 1 FT for next week ?

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

      Ditch PVA. Someone was worried about Chesters price dropping too so maybe check that one out.

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

      you don't really need to sell saints imo.

      Clyne has scored at Anfield and that screamer at the Emirates, so is fairly fixture proof imo. Always attacking or getting CS's.

      There will probably be safer options that Tadic though. I'll be doing Tadic>Siggy in GW13, very easy. Will keep CLyne and pelle.

    3. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      PvA to Yun or Duff and save the other. Thinking of doing the same move but ditching Kelly

  25. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Should I ditch Kelly this week or just save the ft? Nothing else I want to do really

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

      1FT I'd save.

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Just worried he may randomly drop in price

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

          Theres been a few obscure rises alright but I thiink the fallers have been fairly well noted. Is he likely to drop soon?

          1. Venom Snake
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 8 months ago

            I have no idea tbh

        Cheers Walshy, any transfers for you this week?

          I will be saving this week unless one of my men gets injured. Not really sure which direction to take my team at the moment..the hit I took last week didn't pay off what a surprise. I think it may have been my last of the season unless it's in front of a DGW.

    How does Bony stats look? Thinking he's a good replacement for pelle soon!

      Good home stats. not alot of touches in the box iirc, but plenty of shots, and he's on penalties. good option, though I think most people will just stick to Siggy. I wouldn't be completely averse to Siggy-Bony double-up though. Think it could be a great partnership until christmas

      Gomis lurking

        Yes that's right. More tempted by Austin / Berainho who takes pens too.

      I really wish one or more of the mid-range strikers would wake up actually.. welbeck, bony, jovetic, dzeko, benteke, lukaku, adebayor... they've all been pretty tame this season

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

        Yes, currently Austin Sakho Berainho all playing better than these mid range forwards.

      don't know, but i think he was poor against Arsenal.

      Hasn't looked so great in the few Swansea games I've watched this season.

    Hi all, I would be grateful for your thoughts. I want to get Aguero in, but would need to something like the following and take a 8 point hit

    Mannone, Begovic

    Clyne, Bertrand, Baines, Chambers, Wilson

    Di Maria, Downing, Sanchez, Fabregas, Zaha

    Costa, Pelle, Naismith

    Transfer:
    Clyne – Dummett
    Di Maria – Chadli
    Fabregas – Oscar
    Pelle - Aguero

      Does anyone have any advice on this? Cheers

    Krul (Schmeichel)
    Baines, Kaboul, Chambers (Colo, Wisdom)
    Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Chadli (Boyd)
    Aguero, Pelle, Austin

    0 FT, 3.4m in the bank.

    Plan is to do Pelle to Costa next week, which leaves me with 0.5m, and then downgrading Schmeichel to Elliot the week after which allows me to upgrade Kaboul to Azpi.

    Sound like a good plan? Or is there something else I should be considering??

    My team:

    Foster (Mannone)

    Baines, Bertrand, Chambers (Moore, Hutton)

    Downing, Chadli, Hazard, Siggy (Boyd)

    Costa, Aguero, Pelle

    1FT, 3.1 ITB.

    This week I am doing Mannone -> Krul.

    Next week, I'm getting rid of Bertrand. I'm tossing up between Taylor (on 4YC but cheap and good fixtures) vs. Azpi (6 mill).

    This would still allow me to do Chadli -> Sterling the following week (when Studge is back).

    Thoughts? Should I bring in Taylor or Azpi?

    Obviously this is subject to change but just planning ahead.
