    Is clyne out for baines as -4 worth it?

    1. Evans
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Don't forget Everton next game after hull is city

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 11 months ago

      yes imo

    3. Jonny Sutt
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Defo!

    4. HurriKane
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

    5. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      i'm thinking about Chambers -> Baines (-4), so i'd say yes!

    6. noMoreInternationalBreaks
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Wow, was kind of expecting a no! Thanks all

  2. Andy1
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Eriksen or downing?

    1. Evans
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Siggy

      1. Andy1
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Have him

    2. HurriKane
      11 years, 11 months ago

      eriksen

    3. Jonny Sutt
      11 years, 11 months ago

      E if no other concerns

      1. Andy1
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I have krul out injured. And need to sort my defence out. Downing would allow that, but eriksen is a better prospect?

  3. Dr Dream
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Just on the (c) topic above...Would it not be an added string to the sites bow to run a base score league?....Failing that would it be a good idea for one of the members to run one?

    Another week , another tough week of ''who to captain'' 🙁
    My Heart say Hazard , My head says Kun .

    Kun - Yes , He can score against quite possibly anyone and with yaya coming into form and pacy wingers to get at sunderlands vunerable left and right back , I think Kun can get more than what costa got at the weekend .

    Haz - Tottenham are tottenham , although they are coming into form !! they play a really high line , and I think hazard will benefit from that . hes up against Naughton , and WITH COSTA OUT , We all know that hazard has to step up ...

    So i still dunnno who to captain???

    *repost*

    1. Ady87
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Rooney.

    2. POLSKA GOLA
      11 years, 11 months ago

      My heart is saying Kun, my head is saying Siggy.

      1. AH 🙂
        11 years, 11 months ago

        not other way around lol ?

        1. POLSKA GOLA
          11 years, 11 months ago

          No, exactly as I said. If you consider the opposition Siggy is a safe bet for points this week IMHO. Aguero could blank or go mental against Sunderland.

  5. wendty
    11 years, 11 months ago

    If you were to rank the following in order of preference, what would be your order?

    A. Fabregas/Toure/Rooney/Kane
    B. Toure/Eriksen/Costa/Austin
    C. Fabregas/Eriksen/Costa/Austin

    1. PMC3
      11 years, 11 months ago

      C, A, B.

  6. PMC3
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Am I playing the correct 4?

    Starting:
    Trippier (NEW)
    Naylor (QPR)
    Wisdom (WHU)
    Chadli (che)

    Bench:
    Dummet (bur)
    Hutton (cpl)

    1. Redhulkster
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Would start the other 2 over wisdom imo

      1. PMC3
        11 years, 11 months ago

        OK, thanks. Out of interest, do you own Downing?

      2. copps
        11 years, 11 months ago

        hmm i would play dummet ahead but not hutton

  7. TheBabyfacedAssassin
    11 years, 11 months ago

    2FY 0.1 itb. Suggestion? Costa»roo? Dyrets

    Guzan
    Azpilicueta Baines Duff Dummett
    Boyd Sánchez Hazard Sigurdsson
    Agüero, perez
    Subs: Costa, chadli, yun

    1. PMC3
      11 years, 11 months ago

      If you trust Perez then that sounds good.

  8. HurriKane
    11 years, 11 months ago

    A) Yaya Costa

    or

    B) Sanchez Rooney

    (Already have hazard and aguero)

    1. wendty
      11 years, 11 months ago

      For me Sanchez and Costa are the best combo, but if I had to choose between your options probably B at this stage. Yaya needs to show more consistency so my suggestion is to monitor

      1. HurriKane
        11 years, 11 months ago

        cheers mate.

    2. XhakaCan
      11 years, 11 months ago

      B of those

  9. Zasa
    11 years, 11 months ago

    FFF has many important droppers for today
    Risers: Sanchez, Fabregas tonight

    Fallers: King, Diame, PvA, Lallana, Pelle, Richardson, AdM, Costa all tonight

    FPS as well:
    Risers: Sanchez, Fabregas tonight
    (Jakupovic, Yun, Foster all around 90%)

    Fallers: Pelle Costa Richardson tonight
    (De Laet, PvA, AdM, Lallana, Diame, King, Ivan, all around 90&%)

  10. AleksanderVN
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Trying to spot the "template":

    Guzan, Elliot
    Baines, Yun, Chelsea def, (Two of Naylor, Chambers, Cresswell,
    Hazard, Sanchez, Boyd (two of Siggy,downing,eriksen)
    Aguero, Austin, (one of Rooney, Bony, Costa)

    Agree?

    1. Redhulkster
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Fab more than hazard obv

    2. Ady87
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Not for me.

    3. PMC3
      11 years, 11 months ago

      My team:
      No, No
      No, No. No. 1 of them
      No. Yes. No. 1 of them
      Yes. No. 2 of them

      I think it needs more Dummet, Fabregas and Chadli.

  11. Art Vandelay
    11 years, 11 months ago

    I am getting tempted to ditch Cost for a hit. Seems unnecessarily aggressive play, but both Rooney and Bony look tempting and I will go without Costa for a few eels until the Hull game.

    Anyone else doing this?

    1. Evans
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I've made mind up also and I'm going To ship for Kane

      1. Art Vandelay
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I really like Kane as an option and have been championing his cause, however, I have Austin and don't want to cheapie strikers. Good luck mate and hope the hit pays off immediately (Spurs fan :lol:)

    2. Valar(Keith)
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I can do it for free but i'm not doin it.. in 24 hours we'll have a rested, suspension free Costa in our teams

      1. Art Vandelay
        11 years, 11 months ago

        The voice of reason.

        1. Valar(Keith)
          11 years, 11 months ago

          i must admit i flirted with kane + Hazard in for Boyd + Costa.. leaves me with a great bench player too rather than boyd and a peno taker 🙂

  12. Kevtheotter
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Is Mané out worth a hit?

    Have to play him along with Boyd...

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I think so. Although he seems to get at least one fairly decent chance to score a game.

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I'd get rid. But in your own time unless you're down to 10 outfield players.

    3. HurriKane
      11 years, 11 months ago

      yes

      1. Kevtheotter
        11 years, 11 months ago

        For who? I have Siggy

    4. BabyB
      11 years, 11 months ago

      he is the player i am looking to shift as well. I wouldn't be doing it for a hit IMO. You won;t be replacing him for any of the big hitters so would need to be lucky to recoup the cost.

  13. fordy049
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Looking to replace ADM. Can't afford Sanchez or Toure. Can;t get Fabregas or Oscar as I already have 3 Chelsea players. Thinking of Mata (worried he might bench), Herrera, Ramsey and Sterling. Any suggestions??

    1. Uncle John from Jamaica
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Siggy?

    2. ralfb
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Will get herrera

    3. HurriKane
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Herrera is a good shout till adm returns

  14. kirwy
    11 years, 11 months ago

    My lineup for GW14. Would love some wise advice, lads 😀

    Guzan
    Baines / Azpi / Hutton
    Sanchez / Hazard / Siggy / Boyd
    Aguero / Austin / Welbeck

    Bench: McCarthy (GK), Yun, Moore, ADM

    Need to ditch ADM for my FT.

    My alternatives (so I can do Welbz>Costa next):

    A) Downing
    B) Jedinak
    C) Brunt
    D) Other?

    1. Evans
      11 years, 11 months ago

      I would keep Welbeck and swap adm for yaya

      1. kirwy
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Might consider it. Cheers!

  15. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Predicted front 4 for Everton?

      11 years, 11 months ago

      C'est impossible.

      McGeady - Osman - Mirallas
      Lukaku

    1. Redhulkster
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Barkley mirallas pienaar
      ..........lukaku.........

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      2 for Lukaku and 2 for Mirallas.....

  16. Redhulkster
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Ty kagawa ..uncle john..think tank and red beard 😉

  17. trimmtrabb
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Playing my wild card this gameweek - have always gone heavy on forwards over the tears and that has usually served me well. Currently 11k and had almost the cheapest defence possible all year long but now going for a bit of a change:

    Elliot McCarthy

    Baines Cahill Azp Clichy yun

    Yaya Sanchez hazard siggy Boyd

    Aguero Austin Kane

    Double Chelsea defence and Baines will hopefully pay off, 3 city players and 2 budget strikers who along with Siggy offer biggest route to value in the game at the moment.

    1. trimmtrabb
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Someone disagree with me so I can explain why this is the greatest fantasy football team ever made..

    2. Evans
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Awesome

    3. noMoreInternationalBreaks
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Nice team

      1. trimmtrabb
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks I appreciate the support 🙂

  18. Uncle John from Jamaica
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Chaps. Need a forward for one week to replace Costa.

    £11.1m in the bank and got Kun & Austin

    Thinking Rooney or Bony. Not keen on fact Rooney was meant it be unfit and Bony does not complete 90 mins often. Am I missing anyone?

    Who would you chaps go for?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Bony the safer bet. Just.

      1. trimmtrabb
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 11 months ago

        bony for tomorrow or see my post above - get kane and invest elsewhere

    2. RyanC
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Same dilemma here. Leaning towards Rooney, but Bony is tempting...

    3. Evans
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Harry Kane

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        11 years, 11 months ago

        This week? Nah

    4. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Did Costa to Bony seems best as i don´t lose anything if i would want Costa back next week.
      If i don´t use my other transfer and do Nasri to Yaya

      1. Uncle John from Jamaica
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Jane looked good at weekend but don't fancy Spurs at Chelsea on Wed and want Costa back next week.

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          11 years, 11 months ago

          As me then..... Bony then if it is a free transfer that otherwise gets lost. If not free, Keep.

    5. madame shelly
      11 years, 11 months ago

      keep costa, its only 1 game

      1. Uncle John from Jamaica
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Selling Costa will cost(a) me four points - bony should get two minimum by playing so it's only a two point risk plays I bank £100k profit if he goes now.

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          11 years, 11 months ago

          You also have to take into account the points you´ll get from that guy you do play if you just keep Costa

          1. Uncle John from Jamaica
            11 years, 11 months ago

            Unless Sanchez at Villa as a stormer I think I cam live 🙂

  19. Bob.
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Stuck with what to do this week. Was goign to wait until deadline but with all these price drops/rises happenign with Di Maria, etc. might make the transfers tonight.

    Forster
    Baines Duff Chambers
    Hazard Siggurdson (c) Di Maria Sanchez
    Aguero Austin Sakho

    Green Boyd Hutton Clyne

    Thinking ADM -> Bolasie and Sakho -> Rooney for -4. Any other ideas? Cheers

    1. Redhulkster
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Good move IMO..

      Downing over bolasie if possible

      1. Bob.
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Cant afford Downing if getting Rooney in. Have 5.8 to spend on a midfielder. Not many great options around the 5.5 mark

        1. Bob.
          11 years, 11 months ago

          Could also get in Bony and Herrera

  20. madame shelly
    11 years, 11 months ago

    baines and downing in for adm and bruce?! -4.

    everyones gone quiet on downing

    1. Redhulkster
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Do it

  21. RyanC
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Decisions, decisions...

    My team for tomorrow is currently:

    Fabianski (McCarthy)
    Azpi Cresswell Chambers (Duff, Clyne)
    Hazard Sanchez Siggy Downing Boyd
    Aguero Austin (Costa)

    Already done Moore > Cresswell so no FT. Keeping Clyne for the time being.

    1.5 in the bank.

    Question is...

    A) Costa > Rooney for a -4
    B) Costa > Bony for a -4
    C) Save

    1. Redhulkster
      11 years, 11 months ago

      A or b

      I would do A if falcao isnt starting tomorrow

      1. RyanC
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks!

  22. Gungho_Joe
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Will di Maria drop tonight? Again?!

    1. Bob.
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Looks like it :/

    2. Jonny Sutt
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Just get rid, even when he does play he's fighting to stay on the pitch for longer than an hour. Got rid of him Saturday and it improved the rest of my team tenfold!!!

    3. Game of Stones
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Hope so 😉 Will be able to get him back without a loss then

      1. Gungho_Joe
        11 years, 11 months ago

        He's gone

  23. Jonny Sutt
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Which 1 will play more minutes from now till end of season?
    A)k Toure
    B)j enrique

    1. Redhulkster
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Why do u even have to go der ..
      Are u outta ur mind 😮

      1. Jonny Sutt
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Cuz I'm getting fed up of naylors 2 points. And the rest of my team is class! Just ent got Rooney

    2. madame shelly
      11 years, 11 months ago

      theyll both be out soon enough. leave alone

  24. Steve McCroskey
    11 years, 11 months ago

    If Costa is red flagged will he be able to drop tonight? If so, will he drop?

    1. RyanC
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Apparently due to drop tonight.

  25. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Ben finery is quite good. He takes the time to respond to my tweets. Just got on Twitter though.

    1. Rupert The Horse

      *Dinnery

    2. Beavis
      11 years, 11 months ago

      He's a nice guy and I appreciate his work but people mistakenly think he's itk or something. Just puts the news that's out there readily available for everyone and might add his own interpretation which may or may not be right.

  26. Puyol Pants Up
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Got 3 Swansea players 😯

    1. Syd.
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Me too 🙂 QPR up next

      Let the fun begin

    2. PMC3
      11 years, 11 months ago

      At least I am not the only one!

  27. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Bit worried about only having Siggy, Downing and GK (either Heaton or Guzan, wait for line-ups to decide) tomorrow. Anyone else in the same boat???

  28. fijuhmon
    11 years, 11 months ago

    ADM & Pelle to

    a) Kun & Jedinak
    or
    b) Yaya & Lukaku

      11 years, 11 months ago

      A

        11 years, 11 months ago

        I wouldn't want to play Jedinak every week though.

    1. Redhulkster
      11 years, 11 months ago

      A
      Or yaya and bony

  29. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
    11 years, 11 months ago

    play Boyd or Pelle ?!

    1. Redhulkster
      11 years, 11 months ago

      Pelle

  30. Enzo the Baker
    11 years, 11 months ago

    Cant decide between these two transfers -

    AdM -> Fab for FT
    AdM + Yun -> Downing + Baines for a -4

    Any advice appreciated!

    1. Redhulkster
      11 years, 11 months ago

      B
      Explosive 😉

      1. Enzo the Baker
        11 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers punter!

    2. madame shelly
      11 years, 11 months ago

      im thinking bruce + adm to downing and baines so much the same. also a -4

      only concern is downing keeping it up ?

      1. Enzo the Baker
        11 years, 11 months ago

        I think Valencia back now and sakho back soon, we'll see the return of downing from a few weeks ago.
