    What are Krulliot owners doing? Fixtures are getting tougher but I think I am just going to limp through to the Jan WC.

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      same here i think.

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

        Not ideal, but seems a waste of a transfer as we approach the festive period.

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

      Removed krul for Adrian, only because I had McCarthy as back up though

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

        Adrian is one of the options I would consider if I did make room for a transfer. Alternatively just pay up for Courtois.

    3. Sarri-ball
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Aswell to keep with that combo if up to now been happy with newcastle cover in goal should carry on till jan

    4. Azathoth
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping Elliot , pondering between Adrian & Fabianski to replace Krul.

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

        Yep, I would certainly keep Elliot, my decision is whether to bring someone in to keep him company.

  5. Sarri-ball
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    is marney to boyd a boring swap or anything else would do?

    Foster

    Quick question:

    Clichy or Smalling?

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Smalling of those

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

      Lolarov could be back sooner rather than later..

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks guys!.

  7. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Kevin Mirallas just back from a hamstring injury has started 3 games in 8 days..I want him but will he start 4 games in 11 days? 😀 😕

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      twang!

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

      No. But he might score in three of those.

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

      Looking at him as well. Pros: he was pulled after 60 last match, and which mid is nailed on to start every match with that kind of schedule?

    4. Root
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully he's rested against City as I'm going to bench him for that GW.

  8. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone noticed there is Wilfried BOY in captain options pool?

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

    Start Chadli (che) or Wisdom (WHU)

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hmmm... Wisdom probably. Chadli will probably get 2 if he starts and may not start.

  10. Mr Sarcastic
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Just realised Costa won't drop again tomorrow 🙁
    They will remove flag and reset transfers.

    Same goes for Rooney and price rise.

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

      Not Costa. His flag won't come off until Wednesday.

      1. Mr Sarcastic
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Oh yes, true that.
        He might drop one more time then, would mean I only lose 0.1 on him.
        Doubt he will drop again tough.

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        So he *could* drop twice this GW?

        1. Mr Sarcastic
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Yes and he's gone down maybe 60 % today, so 100 % in a day wouldn't be a miracle, but I think it might be too much to ask for.

        2. Pasqualinho
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          If he drops tomorrow night that's officially next GW, but yes. But I think Mr S is correct, it's hard to see him dropping 85k tomorrow again - less time to do it, and you'd think that most people who want to get rid will do it tonight. He'll be well on his way to another drop, but I don't think he'll quite get there.

            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah, I think you're right. Although I'm sure many won't realise a) there's a GW or b) Costa's suspended, until they go to set their team tomorrow. So you never know! Thanks both.

  11. Whazza
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Does anything warrant a hit or good to go? 0 FT & 0.4 ITB..

    Foster

    Ivan Bertrand Naylor Chambers

    Sanchez Hazard(vc) Siggy Downing

    Aguero(c) Austin

    BENCH: Krul. Marney Moore Costa

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

    Another tricky captain choice this week, got in wrong last week with Hazard when my gut said Austin and Aguero is my normal comfort blanket

    Bony - top scorer on 2014 , so I've read , and QPR are woeful in defence . Although they seem to be worse at home

    Aguero - well he's Aguero .Sunderland don't conceed that many chances and kept Chelsea quiet . They also do well v city . Am not sure they will cope with Aguero as well as Costa

    Hazard - let me down last week , and spurs are starting to find some form
    They do concede chances though ...but I think Chelsea maybe due a quiet spell

    So think Im putting on Aguero

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm torn between bony and aguero. Never really considered hazard.

      For what its worth, the bookies have aguero as favourite to score any time.

    2. Think Tank
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      That Bony stat is so irrelevant. Who cares how many goals he was scoring between Jan-May this year?!

    3. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm going siggy, don't be put off by price. If the season started again he'd be 8-8.5m. He was only 6 because he got transferred after the prices were made

      1. Cars and Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        That's not why he isn't being considered I don't think. His stats are nowhere near as good as those options mentioned.

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He had 5 shots last gw. His stats have been awful, they are changing

      2. Think Tank
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Have Siggy as VC in case captain on Wednesday doesn't play.

        Between Coleman and Aguero atm.

        1. Leaf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Coleman , like that one

          Maybe I should look at baines , I have him

    4. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Great rank

      I'm looking into Sanchez or Aguero.... On Sanchez as it stands

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

    Any reason not to do ADM ---> Sanchez tonight?

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nope

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

      Di maria price is dropping and Sanchez rising tonight. get Sanchez if you got the money.

      Get to see the line ups tomorrow and any nasty suprises they bring!

    When are The Big Numbers out?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      And Captain Sensible?

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Guess there wont be a big numbers, because we'd have had it by now. Captain Sensible tomorrow, maybe. Can't really expect them all in such a short GW. 🙂

        1. Gregor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          Dammit, they're the best ones!

    2. Woy of the Wovers

      Yesterday evening. In members area 😉

  15. nosejob
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Okay then, planning for Christmas.

    Who of the 'big guns' are the least likely to be rotated?

    My thoughts:

    Rooney
    Baines
    ADM

    Not sure on Chelsea players or Aguero & Sanchez?

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

    Captain Hazard or Aguero?

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      All things being equal Aguero is the better choice.

      Aguero probably has a bigger chance of being rested too though, doesn't he?

      1. Cars and Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Don't think pellegrini has ever rested him when fit.

  17. Shah G
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Thanx for any suggestions..

    Adrian/4 - B/Az/Chmb/Cly/Duff - Haz/Fab/Sig/Chad/ADM - A.k.a

    1) Duff/ADM > 5ish/Downing + 3.5-4m
    2) Duff/ADM > 4.5/Yaya
    3) Clyne/ADM > 5ish/Downing + 4.5-5m
    4) Clyne/Adm > 5ish/Yaya

    Leaning towards 4 because City fixtures are CRAZY and no need to play Clyne, stupid to keep xpensive def on bench.. Worried with not having Downing but Sakho/Valencia are doubts, may decrease his output.. And if i go for 1/3 i dont see any use of those xtra mills, cant see anything i can do with it..

    5ish:
    A) Cresswell (wba,SWA,sun,LEI,che,ARS,WBA)
    B) Clichy (sun,EVE,lei,CRY,wba,BUR,SUN)

    Leaning towards B - Crazy fixtures + dont really want to double up on wha def.. I know there is Kolarov but i think he is 2-3 weeks off and Clichy has been good, wont get dropped in league.. What do you guys think?

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

      Don't be so bloody lazy!!!

      1. Shah G
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Nothing to do with being lazy..

    2. Kip

      cannot compute

      1. Shah G
        • 12 Years

        compute?..

  18. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Getting itchy feet with these (-4)'s...time for a (-8) next week...

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Care to share? 😛 Silva, x and y?

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Nah he's the week after when he's fit....Time for a defence rebuild or a spot of midfield heavies..

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Ah. A winter spring clean. Not a bad idea, at all.

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

      I did a -8 this week, I'll let you know how it went, I remember you did some research on it last year.
      Had only done one -4 so far as well

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I had a very successful -8 this season, if you'd like to include that Wakey! 😀

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          2/3 rds of them resulted in green arrows last season from the sample I did...quite a large sample as well in the end.

            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Impressive. I suppose they are normally used when the team is in poor condition. But then a -8 allows plenty of room to make sure the transfers aren't forced through by budget limitations.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, with surprising results....

  19. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    My 2 game Bony stint is going to generate me lots of points and a nice sell on profit

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

      Yeah nice one. I got him for 2 weeks in GW 2, seems I was massively ahead of the curve there 🙂

    2. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Thinking of getting him, but got a feeling he might be rested midweek.

      1. Dr Dream

        Yeah...but by god he worked for it.

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

    Hazard, Aguero and Rooney all nice looking captain options..I guess part of me might be worried Aguero could come off the bench so that he's not burned out with another game this weekend and CL in midweek next week..

    currently on Haz

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Things like that very rarely happen. Spoken about a lot, happen rarely.

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

      Yep I have that fear with Aguero too, if Rooney is confirmed starter to pro it might be wise to give it to hi.

    2. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero always starts if fit, could well be subbed early if winning mind.

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

        no such thing as always in crazy Christmas time 😉

        1. CABAYE4
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Past evidence suggests he does, though of course he missed late December/early Jan last year.

  23. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years

    If fit is Moreno defo gona b 1st choice left back at pool?

      I'm torn between Haz or Rooney

    Whos your captain armband on guys?

    1. Kagawa-san-mia
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      aguero at the moment may shift to Bony

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Same here to be honest

    2. Jonny Sutt
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Baines

        Mirallas killing his potential

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        never bench, never captain

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Right now: Kun

      Hazard but Aguero and Rooney also worthy

    5. Injury Prone o_O Gooner.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Haz but may bottle it for Kun although gut says Haz.

    6. Cars and Mané

      11 years, 3 months ago

      I don't know

      Aguero but really tempted by Rooney, Hazard and Sanchez, will prob play safe and go with Aguero as I reckon about 60% of top 10k will do that.

        Thats the problem for those of us up top. 🙂 Safety first?

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

          Yeah safety first and hope your differential players make the profits for you.

          I went with my gut last week, ADM (c). I'm still raging.

            Eek gutted Roy,

    8. laGan1n1
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Rooney

    9. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero.

    10. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Rooney. Simple and straightforward for me, haven't given it a second thought.

    Had a bit of a nightmare last night, fell asleep before I finalised my transfers and now I can't afford them!

    So which duo to replace ADM/Costa?

    A. Sterling and Rooney (-4)
    B. Sanchez and Bony (-4)
    C. Sterling and Bony (-4)
    D. Wisdom and Sterling (Costa on bench)
    E. Other combo

    Cheers

    Next two weeks could see some interesting captain picks.

    Lukaku and Bony look like immense picks tomorrow. Especially for people like me trying to catch up on the Aguero/ Sanchez owners!

    How much do you reckon Costa will drop until GW 15?

  30. Redhulkster

    Need Falcao for Costa..

    Sensible thing would b to wait for the teams tomorrow I reckon..
