    Seems like this week's differential is not taking a hit!

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Fortune favors the brave and all that.

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Lots of posts talk of hits. Most people don't.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Taken one.

      1. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        .....for the team.

      2. Arsennulment

        11 years, 3 months ago

        just took a twelvie - brought in jedinak , erikson , siggy and wisdom ...boyd , adm , wanyama and tomkins out...feeling brave

  2. Garcks

    Need big points this week. Chadli, Tadic, Clyne > Eriksen, Downing, Clichy for minus 4. Worth it?

    1. TD Champ
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Why Clichy?

      1. Garcks
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Man City, good fixtures?

        1. TD Champ
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Mangala suspension and Kompany injury. They haven't been amazing defensively for the price you pay. And let me remind you that this is Clichy's first goal for City.

          1. Garcks
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Ok, cheers bro 🙂

    2. Garcks
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Actually, I have the funds for Wisdom > Clichy

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      When's Kolarov back?

      1. Garcks
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure

  3. TD Champ
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    My WC team, thinking of Berahino because of some amazing fixtures. Any thing you would change?

    Foster - Pantilimon
    Baines - Naylor - Tomkins - Hutton - Yun
    Haz - Sanchez - Fabs - Siggy - Jedinak
    Aguero - Bony - Austin/Berahino

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd consider Rooney over Berahino due to form
      Obviously you'd have to release funds, but maybe from a Sanchez downgrade. The new donation doesn't bode well for him

      1. TD Champ
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. That would mean not watching Arsenal anymore though!

  4. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Gtg?
    1st sub slightly bothering me

    Krilliot
    Baines Blackett Trippier
    Sanchez Siggy Eriksen Hazard
    Aguero Berahino Austin

    Tadic Clyne Yun

    1. TD Champ
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Guess so. Would get rid of Blackett though

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I know, but other than wasting my WC it's not worth a hit. I assume I will get Clyne instead anyway

        1. TD Champ
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Clyne? Have you seen Soton's fixtures? Not a good pick for his price atm.

    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    @TM/other scout..... will there be a Captain Sensible for this GW? Fave of the week. 🙂

  5. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    safe to say Rooney is a sure thing for tomorrow? saw no mention of him in the scout tweets but everyone is looking at him as an option so..

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      For the sake of £0.1m, you may as well wait for line ups...

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        (FWIW, I think he'll start. Like LVG says, if Rooney says he'll play, he'll play.)

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        This

      2. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        just curious, already brought him in on Saturday lol

    1. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      We will have the line ups anyway. Could be gold for you. A good captain could easily get you back to 5 digit ranks

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        my team is very good (defense could be bit better but that's my transfer for this week anyways), it's my captain choices that have been breaking me and letting me down

        1. Exeter Gently
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          what is your team?

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            0.4 itb

            .........................Guzan
            ..........Chambers á´° Hutton á´° Baines
            Hazard á´¹ Fabregas á´¹ Sanchez á´¹ Downing
            ............Austin á¶  Rooney á¶  Aguero

            Gilks; Marney, Yun, Moore

            I'm happy with it..Moore needs changing but that will be for GW15

            1. Exeter Gently
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              like the che mid double up. good team going into the next run of fixtures. not crazy about playing downing every week though, but can't see how you'd sacrifice any other player.

            2. Exeter Gently
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              maybe siggy in for downing, chambers to bottom barrel?

              1. sinik
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                can't swing that on money available but I am monitoring Baines..if Mirallas' inclusion continues to hamper his potential I may have to sell

                1. Exeter Gently
                  • 11 Years
                  11 years, 3 months ago

                  with the idea of bringing in mirallas instead of baines?

                  1. sinik
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 12 Years
                    11 years, 3 months ago

                    no I mean if Mirallas being back on the field seems to continue to hurt Baines (and he turns almost into a regular defender who has FKs and pens), then I may sell Baines..those funds could help me upgrade Moore and turn Downing into Siggy

        2. The Machine
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Unlucky. Aguer should have got you points last week. Sanchez could have scored this week too

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            yep..not worried though, season is loooooooooooooong..lots of time to go and I still have my WC

  6. Bolasie
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Need some help with this lot, any ideas?

    Fabianski(Hamer)
    Wisdom, Duff, Baines (Moore, Clyne)
    Hazard, Siggy, ADM*, Chadli (Obertan)
    Aguero, Costa*, Austin

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years

      Anything itb. FTs?

      1. Bolasie
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        1,4 itb 1FT

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Get Sanchez for Adm.

    2. TD Champ
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You could downgrade ADM --> Sanchez? Do you have the funds?

      1. TD Champ
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        *upgrade

    3. Sol
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      ADM > Fab

    4. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      You've got to decide of you keeping Costa or not. ADM on the otherhand, needs to go IMO so you can field at least 4 MIDs.

    5. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Adm to Eriksen
      Costa to Rooney

      1. Bolasie
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Can get Sanchez or Yaya instead of Eriksen

      Baines

    9. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years

      Thinking Hazard.

        1. Woy of the Wovers

          Yeah, we know what we're doing. 😉

    10. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard v a tired Spurs

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Hazard vs Kyle "Early Bath" Naughton is very tempting.

      2. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Hazard without Costa on the pitch is terrifying..he was dangerous all game vs United

    11. Desertbug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Trouble deciding between Hazard and Bony.

    a) play Marney and save a trasfer
    b) or use a sub to bring in a 5.2 or less defender to play for the week
    c) costa to bony... will struggle to fit him in on team value though

    1. supperspout
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      will struggle to fit costa back in*

    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hi, which sounds the better medium term option? I currently have Bertrand and Welbeck, but have the spare budget to go for one of these options:-

    a) Azpi & Welbeck

    b) Bertrand & Rooney

    Thanks for any advice.

  11. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Average for last week enough to get into the scout cup?

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

      It's usually higher than average.

    2. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm afraid 39 is around 4 points short

    3. SmoothRossi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm sure someone could knock up a quick script to extract the qualifying score based on the signup page list if you ask nicely and they have the inclination.

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

        Or just wait.

        1. SmoothRossi
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          That would be the approach I would take.

  12. applebonkers
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    noticed on the stats that di maria seems to be losing corners suddenly

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

      I bet he doesn't even get any corners at all this GW.

    2. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      i should narrow that down and say just in the arsenal game, but van persie starting to take corners again is an interesting change

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hardly surprising. I watched him deliver three in a row to the first defender.

    4. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I've been really shocked by his corner delieveries. Expected a little better from a £62m man.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Dead-ball striking is an arcane skill. Takes hours of practice.

        1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Surely at that price he should have those hours of practice under his belt?

    Costa Aguero Austin

    Foster Boyd Moore Wisdom

    1. Leeroy Jenkyns

      Moore to a playing 4.2 down defender. Probably Bartley.

    Bego + Clyne => Guzan + Baines

    Has taken my biggest punt so far this season. Costa OUT, Benteke IN ... Come on now, the beast is back... I hope 🙂

      Based on what?

    2. kimoo
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Benteke would play 90 mins and Score ???

      1. oscardo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        One of my fav.players, has pens, and those fixtures screams for returns....

    Already made one transfer ADM > Downing so Boyd > Jedinak for a -4 this GW or -4 for tomorrow night? (upgrading Sakho > Costa as other).

  22. Qubit

    Only 3 players have averaged more than 2 shots on target per 90m. Anyone care to venture a guess at who? (one of them is almost exactly 2)

      Austin welbeck

      1. Qubit
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Nope. Welbeck average just over 1 I think.

    3. TD Champ
      • 12 Years

      Townsend 🙂

      1. chrisjdgrady

        Or Pelle

      2. Qubit

      1. Qubit
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        We have a winner 😀 Kane is 2nd. Not bad for someone costing 4.9m! Yes he's played less minutes but he's played enough for it to be noteworthy.

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
