Our Friday lunchtime regular arrives again, as we analyse the PlayON Player Price List ahead of tomorrow’s 10.45am deadline. Below we offer a couple of picks per position: one essential weekend target and a left-field alternative for your consideration.

PlayON has announced that they will be running Freeroll games and Guaranteed Pot games each week for the rest of the season. This week they have £2,000 in Guaranteed Pots on offer, including £150 FREEROLLS for followers of their @playon Twitter account and £150 FREEROLLS for people who like their Facebook page.

Goalkeeper – Tom Heaton
The Burnley stopper is seeking a fourth clean sheet in front of his own fans as Aston Villa roll up to Turf Moor tomorrow. Available for just 6.3m in this week’s PlayON Price List, Heaton looks an excellent budget option between the posts, bearing in mind that the visitors have failed to score in each of their last four road trips. After defying Arsenal time and again at the Emirates last Sunday, we’re placing our faith in Manchester United’s David De Gea (7.6m) to deliver the points once more. The Red Devils host a Hull City side that have scored just once in the last four Gameweeks and with the home side shipping only three goals in the last five in front of their own fans, Louis Van Gaal’s defensive tactics are beginning to have some effect.

Defender – Steven Caulker
The QPR centre-half looks a strong shout for points at both ends of the pitch this weekend. Visitors Leicester have now failed to score in each of the last five Gameweeks and, having kept out the likes of Sunderland and Aston Villa at Loftus Road, Harry Redknapp’s side will be optimistic of snuffing out another of their relegation rivals. Caulker sits joint second amongst defenders for attempts on goal this season and with the PlayON Scoring Matrix awarding points for clearances, interceptions and tackles, his 6.6m price tag is difficult to ignore. Chelsea roll up to the Stadium of Light having served up back-to-back clean sheets against West Brom and away to Schalke midweek over the last few days. Jose Mourinho’s side are starting to tighten up at the back again and whilst Branislav Ivanovic (9.7m) has yet to rediscover his early season output, the Serbian’s raids down the right could prove pivotal against the Black Cats.

Midfielder – Jefferson Montero
Recently established in Swansea’s first XI, the Ecuadorian has started each of the last four and returned two assists over that period. The new PlayON Scoring Matrix also boosts Montero’s appeal – he’s fired three shots on target in the last two, with each accurate effort earning him 200 points – and, at a price of just 7.9m, compared to team-mate Gylfi Sigurdsson at 9.7m, the winger could turn out to be a cost-effective alternative to the Icelander as the Swans host Crystal Palace. At 13.9m, Angel Di Maria takes a fair amount of your budget. Unlike many of the other premium priced midfield options, the United winger will have had a full week’s rest, given that the Red Devils don’t have any European duties to concern themselves with, and, along with an in-form Wayne Rooney at home to Hull, the Argentine’s inventiveness and drive looks integral to seeing off the Tigers.

Forward – Danny Ings
Both of this week’s forward picks come from newly promoted sides as we opt for a couple of in-form options. Having bagged a brace at the Britannia last weekend, Ings finally exhibited the quality that served up 20 goals in 40 appearances in the Championship last season. Priced at only 7.9m, and with a home-tie against an injury-hit Villa side that have conceded eight goals with no reply in their last four away trips, he looks the Clarets’ best chance of earning a third straight win. Another player who excelled in the Championship, Charlie Austin (8.4m), is the essential forward this week. After four goals in three appearances, he failed to score at Newcastle last week, but the QPR striker’s previous form implies more returns are likely against a travel-sick Leicester side who have lost their last four on the road.

Head over to PlayON.co and get your teams in for the £2,000 in guaranteed pots ahead of the 10.45am deadline on Saturday morning.

    I'm on a wc, should I double up with Fabianski and Naylor or get Chambers instead?

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

      Chambers

    2. Kerz

    3. Baines on Toast...

      Naylor. Chambers has about two weeks left before he's dropped.

      1. mr messi
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Really? Who will take his place?

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

        2 Weeks?
        I thought / saw that Debuchy wasn't back until GW19 or so...
        Right around Xmas & who knows if the Frenchmen will get the full 90 then too.

            • 14 Years
            11 years, 8 months ago

            That's still 4 to 5 games away though...
            So, it's not a pressing issue at the moment.

    3. Kerz

        how do you know?

      Keeping

    6. Rupert The Horse

      Keeping.

    7. Higuita
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      waiting for confirmation, keeping but considering ivanovic or azpi if he is ruled out for next 2 GW

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

      wow pretty unanimous. I'm on the fence, but seeing the responses....might keep.

      Was just about to do Baines Pelle > Yun Rooney 😐

    9. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      There are no obvious replacements, unless you don't have Chelsea already.

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

      Was hoping for something more definite really - I guess I will be keeping , though Baines + Pelle -> Rooney + Hutton is tempting

  3. M.I.A.
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    So guys do I risk playing Baines and just do Pelle>Bony as originally planned? Or do Baines>Taylor and Pelle>Rooney for -4?

    My other players flagged are Chadli and Duff 🙁 bench is very weak as I own both Moore and Albrighton!

    Any advice is much appreciated...

  4. A Defender's Nightmare

    Thanks, Roberto. Definitely worth the wait today. "He has a chance" guys! 😡

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

      theres a difference between slim chance or he's playing. costa had a chance of playing to, but he wasn't even on the bench.

  5. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Begovic is fine to pick up his usual 2 points tomorrow, right?

    1. Billy Gilmore

  6. Teror
    • 11 Years

    Worth dropping Bertrand for Jagielka? Or maybe take a punt on Koscielny?

  7. Kerrazy
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    2ft, 0.3m in the bank.

    A) Pelle>Bony/Austin/Lukaku/Sakho and save 1ft.
    B) Pelle>one of above, and Baines/Bertie>Ivan/Azpili
    C) otherr

    Krul (Elliot)
    Baines Bertrand Chambers (Wisdom Duff)
    Sanchez ADM Hazard Siggy (SDavies)

    1. clarkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Can you do Pelle/Baines -> Costa / Yun?

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

        Baines>Yun what a major downgrade, dont think so i think imma keep him. dont really think i need Costa at this point..

  8. Holmes
    • 12 Years

    Rodgers: Few months ago I was manager of the year, now I'm tipped to get sacked. All I can focus on is what you can control. 😆

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

    Is there a Spurs press conference today? Will we ever hear news on Chadli?

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I believe there is one later

  10. clarkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Sorry, repost.

    Forster, Mannone,
    Baines, Moore, Duff, Wisdom, Bertrand
    Fabregas, Sanchez, Tadic, Boyd, Brady
    Aguero, Costa, Ulloa

    1FT, 0.3 itb

    Pretty nightmarish squad. What should I do this week?

    a) Tadic -> Siggy
    b) Ulloa -> Austin
    c) a and b for -4
    d) sort out defence (baines, duff, moore all might not play)

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

    Best 4.1 defender (not Yun)?

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Wasilewski?

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

      Bartley is the best pick short term. Local press were talking up his partnership with Williams (http://www.southwales-eveningpost.co.uk/Swansea-City-defender-Kyle-Bartley-hails-skipper/story-24765688-detail/story.html?), so who knows, a couple of clean sheets and might even be able to retain the spot.

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

        Interesting, cheers for the link.

        Unlikely he'll retain his spot when Fernandez is back though. He has 30 appearances for Argentina and experience in Europe under his belt.

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

          Yeah it's a long shot, a set back in his injury comeback would help. I'm thinking if bartley does lose his spot could switch to s.taylor who looks like he's fit again.

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

            cheers mate

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

        >might even be able to retain the spot

        There is a very slim chance he keeps his spot.
        He was there to start the year & Fernandez was brought in order to address their deficiencies in CD.

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

          Yeah it would take some outstanding performances.

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

            I considered Bartley in the short term however, the issue is if he's unable to keep his spot (let's be generous & say it's 50/50) then we've got a non-playing £3.9 mill defender on our bench for one of the most hectic times of year.

            Pretty tough to find a replacement & I don't know if I could respect myself in the morning after saying I used two of my 38 transfers on Kyle Bartley.

  12. Jay_
    11 years, 8 months ago

    I'm really not fussed with Baines and Chadli , I've got Boyd and Hutton covering they will probably outscore them both anyway (0-0 all over it ) as long as Baines it back for midweek I will be happy , Chadli has Chelsea away so will bench anyway midweek , if Chadli still not back after and Bony blanks these 2 juicy homes I will do
    Chadli Bony > AdM /Fab Kane

  13. Bobby_Baggio
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Hi All. Would appreciate some advice on this:

    Krul
    Chambers, Jags, Clyne
    ADM, Fab, Downing, Sanchez
    Aguero, Sahko, Costa

    Gilks(don't ask), Marney, Hutton, Wisdom

    2FT & 0.3 ITB. Does this sound alrite?

    A) Gilks & Sahko > Elliot & Austin/Ings?
    OR
    B) Krul & Sahko > Heaton & Austin/Ings?

  14. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Crikey calm down fellow Baines owners! "Good chance" is better than last round of games. Just think of the points you'll waste getting him out then back in!

  15. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Mario Balotelli ruled out of game v Stoke

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

      What a signing he was.

    2. davies

      Lamb-wagon

    3. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…

      Bad news for Bego 🙁

      1. jackx13
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Bego is not playing anyway

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Of course he is

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

    Boyd, Yun, Wisdom

    Correct bench order?

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

      Not playing Yun?

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

        Nah, I see goals in that game. Both teams need to go for it.

    2. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      yes

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

      Yes

    4. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I've got the same bench and am thinking Yun ahead of Boyd.

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

        The fact keane just left villa and they have defensive injuries, makes me think boyd just edges it.

      2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Don't do it

      3. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Same bench too and I think Boyd just edges it.

      4. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks all, think I will go with Boyd.

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

    Who to captain?

    A) Aguero
    B) Sanchez
    C) Costa
    D) Di Maria
    E) Siggy

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

      D

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

      B or C for me.....still can't choose myself.

  18. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    The worry with Baines is the next game is in midweek. He could quite easily miss three in the blink of an eye.

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Or he could play all three and score over 20 points

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

        +1

        People need to chill

      2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Much more likely than him missing the next 3

      3. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        well when you put it like that...

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

        ok this has epiphany has made me hold back on Pelle Baines > Rooney Hutton/Yun 😀

        Thoughts on Clyne/Pelle > Hutton/Bony?

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

          I'm also still considering Pelle + Baines > Rooney + Hutton, but second option would be Clyne + Pelle -> Azpi/Terry + Austin (keeping Baines)

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Nah. Good news today. Being assessed means he isnt badly injured. I will keep and line him up to play. Other more pressing matters.

      Chadli presser*

  21. Mr. O'Connell

    Logging out. This look ok? Dunno which defenders to play.

    Guzan
    Chambers, Trippier, Clyne

      Looks good

      1. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        I just wish Fabregas could be Di Maria though. 🙁 0.3m short.

  24. Just A Hat
    • 17 Years
    11 years, 8 months ago

    The thing with Baines is the next game is in midweek. He could quite easily miss three matches just like that

    1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 8 months ago

      In the blink of an eye... you could say

      1. Just A Hat
        • 17 Years
        11 years, 8 months ago

        exactly

    Currently looking at replacing Clyne/Bertrand, Downing, Welbeck.

    Really not sure what to do with my 2FT.

    Worth Getting Sanchez/ADM or Aguero in there somehow?

    Two free transfers this week so any help appreciated!

    Lloris myhill
    Ivano clyne bertrand wisdom
    ADM Sanchez Downing fabregas king
    Costa pelle berahinho

    2FT and 0.2 in the bank

    Worth bringing Aguero in for Berahinho but having to downgrade ADM to someone like jedniak?

    Or just fix keeper situation and swap bera for Austin?
