This week’s ScoutCast is a throwback – a return to the days when Granville moaned about his team of red flags and names like Robin van Persie and Yaya Toure dominated our thinking.

Granville and I slip into such subject matter like it’s a pair of old slippers, whilst assessing the Aguero fall-out, the Dzeko option, Ivanovic versus “Dave” Azpi and how I’ve modelled my Fantasy Football management style on Roy Hodgson.

We roll out the regulars and lament the demise of the ScoutCast team – eliminated in the opening round of our own cup competition. Some things never change.

Swim in nostalgia via this link or roll back the years via the player below…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

  1. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Out of these, which Man City player would you get?

    Dzeko, Nasri, Silva

    I can't afford Yaya 🙁

    1. Root
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      None

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        have the exact same question and you know, Silva is tempting the hell out of me. Could deliver the same return for less. Is he not due back?

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      silva but let him play some footy first. Watchlist

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Dzeko if you have to out of those 3

    4. tokara
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Nasri if he play in the hole like in Everton

    5. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      all 3 and hope Yaya doesn't get a pen from Milner assist.

    6. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Jecko.

    7. mookie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Dzeko, and maybe a mid. next week.

    8. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      i've been on silva all week

      starting to slide around to the idea of Nasri now

      need to see one more in form game that he starts

    9. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      i'll wait and see how man city plays this weekend

    10. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Dzeko

    11. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      I took a punt on nasri. It feels good!

  2. Patty
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Once Jovetic is at full fitness will he be above Dzeko in the pecking order

    1. Root
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      No

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Yes

        1. HellasLEAF
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          But! There will still be rotation worry if they go one striker and there will also be worry over minutes. Although, I would definitely rather own Jovetic than Dzeko all things being equal.

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Jovetic plays better atm

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      This is the worry. Dzeko could be a great shout but
      Sakho
      Costa
      Beneke
      Bony
      Lukaku

      have less rotation worries over them. imo

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        comes with the territory. None of them play with the same attack quality.

        Dzeko could get a goal off the bench too mind, he's been there and done that. Not the prettiest to watch, but he gets the job done more often than not.

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          Agree on the quality point. Happy to have Bony and wait a week to see on Dzeko. Easy switch

          1. Shifty
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 7 days ago

            Yup, that's a valid tactic too. Have both myself. With the Kun injury and variety of striker options, there will be plenty of bandwagon hopping over the next few weeks.

      2. deathorglory
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Sakho similar risk of being rotated as Dzeko imo (not a lot).

    4. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Until Dzeko is at full fitness.

    5. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      depends on pellegrini tactics..i think dzeko is more suited to a lone forward, while jovetic play behind the striker

  3. SirBruno
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    what do you think lads?

    Hart
    Clyne Wisdom Azpi Baines
    Haz(c) Siggy Eriksen Oscar
    Pelle Dzeko

    Jaku/Boyd/Moore/Austin

    or should I play Boyd and bench Wisdom?

    Cheers

    1. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Front 3 are a concern. Costa, Rooney need to be in there imo.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Or Bony, Lukaku, RVP

      2. SirBruno
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Can't do had to get rid Fabianski and Aguero in the the first place

      http://gyazo.com/e1be85a813c91385c8b2b804962e2b59

      my current team with 1ft

      1. mookie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        no need to WC imo, take a hit(Aguero+Chadli out)

    2. coran2123
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Why keep Bertrand on a WC?

  5. white heart pain
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Pants
    Baines Wisdom Duff
    Yaya Hazard Sanchez Siggy
    Costa Rooney Kane

    Myhill Boyd Chambers S.Taylor

    Worth spending 4pts to replace Duff?

    1. white heart pain
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Anyone

    2. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Not unless it's a long term tf. No hits go a long way this week

  6. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Game week 19 is going to be a car crash. 😕

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      doesn't look bad long as you have Benteke Austin and good helping of ManCity players

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Perhaps. Well, I am almost up to two Citeh ... 😀

      2. Billy Gilmore
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Half the Man City players will be rested

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          yeah... one of those factors in what is now the looming Silva/Nasri/Dzeko/Jovetic decision I may make next week

          but maybe I'll just be simple-minded, not take a hit, and just do Costa to Austin

  7. Proggy
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Been contemplating over who is the best option to replace Aguero...

    Sakho - average fixtures, cheap, fantastic stats
    Jovetic - fantastic fixtures, mid-price, great stats, rotation risk with Dzeko
    Dzeko - fantastic fixtures, mid-price, average stats, rotation risk with Jovetic

    Who would you pick?

    1. Son of Rambo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Dzeko

    2. KeepCalm
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      I went with Tekkers

    3. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      rooney/costa/bony/rvp/austin imo

    4. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Sakho. Jovetic does not have fantastic stats, just OK.

    5. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      I went Sakho. Your call.

    6. tokara
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Sakho,

      Big Sam will maximise Sakho before releasing him for AFCON

    7. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      none of the above

    8. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Sacko. Simples.

    9. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Dzeko

  8. Son of Rambo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Guzan, Given
    Baines, Azpilicueta, Chambers, Yun, Dummett
    Hazard, Sanchez, Downing, Sigurdsson, Boyd
    Aguero, Austin, Costa

    1ft & 0 mill

    Aguero needs to go, but is it then worth a -4 or -8 to sell Chambers and upgrade Boyd?

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      No I think you're team is good enough. Just bench austin

    2. Morse
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      I did pretty much exactly that. Took a -4 hit to do:
      Aguero -> Costa
      Boyd -> Yaya
      Chambers -> Hutton

  9. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years

  10. Punty

    GTG? Hoping that my team won't get a red even with -8...

    Pantilimon
    Terry Azpil Cresswell
    Yaya Sigurdsson Sánchez Hazard(C) Downing
    Bony Lukaku

    Subs: Krul Austin Wisdom Dummett

    1. Cruizer van Nistelrooy

      play wisdom

    Good day people. Already on -4 to get this:

    Guzan
    Baines JT Wisdom Naylor
    Sanchez (c) yaya (vc) Siggy Downing
    Costa Sakho

    Elliot Hutton Fab Austin

    A. Take another hit and do Fab -> Haz (c)
    B. Play Hutton instead of Naylor (double up AVL)
    C. stay put and roll with it

    ta

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 7 days ago

            Thanks man. I've been very lucky.

            Yeah, hopefully we''' improve..i'm sure that's not your team on your link 😉

            1. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 7 days ago

      C, in my opinion

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        😆 been very busy. Must be frutrating for him/them.

        cheers for the thoughts.

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          busy is good

          all good

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 7 days ago

            🙂

            Rejected Rick's offer, counter-offered GB's offer.

            1. Heels_Over_Head
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 7 days ago

              you're on a roll

    4. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      A. I'd be worried if I had no Hazza this week.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        you surely can listen to the evil inside me 😆

    5. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      double up villa.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Yah, thinking hardly bout this. Thanks.

  12. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    What would you do?

    A. Take a hit for a premium defender
    B. Play Marney

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      A if it's Baines vs QPR

      1. Pringle
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Already have him

    2. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      A Take a hit for Sacko.

    3. Proggy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Which premium defender are we talking about?
      And also, which defender are you getting rid of?

      1. Pringle
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Already have Baines so maybe Zabaleta, Azpilicueta or Terry

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      A for Baines JT or Zaba

  13. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Yaya (c) is very tempting

    1. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Hazza more so 😉

      1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Have it on him at the minute, but with Schmeichel out I can see Yaya getting some great points. As long as he hits it on target, it should go in.

        1. Punty
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          Haha, you have great confidence in Leicesters 2nd keeper:D

        2. Shifty
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          sub keepers aren't amateurs.

          1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 7 days ago

            Sub keeper for arguably the worst team in the league.

            1. Shifty
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 7 days ago

              have you seen his beard?

              1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 7 days ago

                Impressive.

                1. Shifty
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 7 days ago

                  makes grown men cry

        3. Al Bundy
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          Hamer has 8 ppg so far this season!!

          On a more serious note, Schmeichel hasnt been very good either the last weeks, so Yaya's odds were pretty good before.

          1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 7 days ago

            Indeed, I just get excited when my players play sub/reserve keepers.

            I would probably captain Sanchez if Arsenal hadn't been so abysmal as of late.

            1. Al Bundy
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 7 days ago

              Especially reserve for a team with 2 pts from the last 11 games I reckon.

              Im probably capping Rooney. Liverpool cannot defend to save their lives. Yaya and Bony are a bit tempting too though

              1. Punty
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 7 days ago

                Liverpool have let in 2 in the last 5 games, 1 in the last 4 in PL.. That's the 4 games after Lucas started playing as DM

                1. Punty
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 7 days ago

                  Oh, and rooney has scores twice against Liverpool since 2010 or 2011, but go ahead;)

                2. Al Bundy
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 7 days ago

                  Not sure what stats you use, but theyre wrong.
                  1-1 v Basel, 0-0 v Sunlun, 1-3 v Leicester, 1-0 v Stoke, 2-2 v Leicester
                  4 goals in last 5, 3 in last 4 in PL. (and before this, 3-1 v Palace!)

                  Also, Sunderland werent even trying to get a goal, and Stoke were just unlucky not to score. Basel outplayed them before their 1-0 goal, and Leicester could easily have had more. Their defending on set pieces with Mignolet's work in the area is also a great worry.

                    I wrote wrong, in the last 3 in the PL, and the last 4 overall, the points is since Lucas started playing as DM obviously, which was the Stoke-game

      1. Heels_Over_Head

        you should tell people to sort the 1st link by goals 😉

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          and the 2nd one by goals conceded

          deary me...

        Liverpool 9 shots on target from 54 shots 😆

        Can't blame Balotelli for that...

      I might follow suit.

    Anyone on a wildcard?

    Care to post your team?

    1. yLLacs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      ive made so many drafts cant decide heres my current draft

      http://gyazo.com/191aacb19d08b13f0445e4f4eb0544e0

      1. super zlatan
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Not bad. If I wildcarded I could get this

        Guzan. 4.0
        Azpi. Clyne. Hutton. Wisdom. Yun
        Sanchez. Haz. Yaya. Downing. Boyd
        Dzeko. Costa. Bony

        Worth pulling the trigger?

        1. yLLacs
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          i see your getting rid of baines im 50/50 on doing it also its just qpr(h) makes me want to keep him one more game

          1. super zlatan
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 7 days ago

            I could bring in sakho instead of dzeko and keep baines ?

        2. Abaddon

          • 11 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          If I were to wc now I would sell Clyne i think. Though fixtures ahead, and you could buy back again in the january WC. Also the december rotation is hard to predict, espescially for the big teams.

          Just checked the team you have now... DONT WC. Your 3 transfers and -4 i more than enough to make a good team.

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 11 Years

      Krul Foster

      RVP Costa Kane

      1. Respect My Authoritah

        The 3rd choice Newcastle keeper over Krul

  15. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    What to do with this bunch?

    Guzan,
    Baines, Naylor, Clyne
    Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Downing
    Aguero, Bony, Berahino

    Subs: Krul, Ward Prowse, Moore, Chambers

    Costa or Rooney for Aguero?
    Should I take a hit to bring in a Man City player? Silva? Nasri?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      1 FT with 1.7M in the bank and can't afford yaya

    2. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      rooney, if you confident he will be among the point when united thrashing liverpool 😉

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Aguero to Costa this week for sure
      next week Berhanio to Austin
      Spare cash? Upgrade Chambers/ Moore

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        This is exactly the way I'd follow

  16. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    the stage is set for all Kun replacements to get 1 goal and max baps on Saturday and Sunday.

    Enter Trollkaku MNF...hattrick.

    That would be something.

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Evs got him

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        he knows what's up...

      2. Billy Gilmore
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        He does love his Lukaka does Evs

        1. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          if lukaku scores well this gw, he deserved it i think..afterall, he sold rvp to costa prior to the southampton game..must be hurt though 😀

          1. Billy Gilmore
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 7 days ago

            Ouch, that's nearly as bad a my (and many others) selling Costa prior to Everton

          2. Shifty
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 7 days ago

            ouch he did? 😕

    2. Root
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Mirallas won't let that happen.

      Mirallas hat trick.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      no way Jose. Baines' show that time.

    4. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      another way to look at lukaku

      a) austin+mirallas

      or

      b) boyd+lukaku

      similar in price..i think i would prefer A

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        can't tempt me anymore. I've gone down the darkside - Dzeko's alr sitting in my 11. That smirk....

        1. money face bandwagon
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          dzeko is firmly on my radar...only concern is his security of starts in christmas

          was planning to do austin->dzeko but resisted due to the 2 home games austin has in the christmas period which i know he will definitely play..so i got in mirallas to cover austin's away fixtures

    5. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      yun will stop him 😀

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        "Y U N(o) stop him!"

  17. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    I have no City nor Hazard. Starting to feel worried 😐

    1. Cruizer van Nistelrooy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      hazard (c) 😀

    2. Rats Ass
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Me neither! Was wondering whether to do Hazard for a hit. But I think I'll ride it out and hope he doesn't bag a load.

    3. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      I only have 2 Man City players and I'm starting to worry that's not enough

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Yaya and Costa. But with only those two, it doenn't instill much confidence atm 🙁

  18. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    glad to see everyone going with a different strikeforce..which make the game fun

    currently with

    austin rooney costa

    aiming to get

    dzeko benteke austin

  19. Sooda
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Foster - Hutton, Yun, Wisdom - Sterling, Fabregas, Siggy, Downing - Aguero, Costa, Austin

    Krul, Tadic, Bertrand, Bartley

    With Krul, And Aguero injured and Austin and Fab suspended, I amm seriously considering Wild carding and maximising the funds I get from transferring Kun

    What do you guys think?

    Other wise it is 4 pt hit for

    Kun- Dzeko and
    Tadic for Yaya I think

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      good transfers

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      don't wild card now

      1. Sooda
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 days ago

        Thanks buddy sorry for the v late reply. Still thinking abt WC

  20. Hakuho FPL
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Why all the love for Rooney? I watched manutd games and he doesnt look that impressive (coming from a utd fan)

    1. Punty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      The only thing I can think of is that he can score anytime against anyone, but I agree would never get him now, specially not with those fixtures

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      he's still in my team because of injuries and suspension of other players..but here comes 2 home games in the next 3..probably wise to keep for now

    3. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      2 weeks ago he was a must have but you know what it's like on here.

    4. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      At the end of the season, he will average 5 points/game. Steady trickle of points. And also on pens.

      1. Hakuho FPL
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        i thought RVP is on pens?

  21. Azathoth
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    If ever everyone is fit , this will be Arsenal front 6 ?

    Arteta - Ramsey
    Theo - Ozil - Alexis
    Giroud

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      I wonder about Theo. I think the Ox has far more class.

    2. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      welbeck

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Artetas past it Wilshere beside Ramsey. I know it won't happen but I'd love to see Walcott as the striker.

      Wilshere - Ramsey
      Caz - Ozil - Alexis
      Walcott

  22. tokara
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Anyone tempted by Nasri? Apparently last two GWs, his stats is same like yaya, in terms of shots taken

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      o/

    2. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      no. he's a count

      1. Punty
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Thought he was a duke?

        1. Caine & Co.
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          no no. a c*unt

          1. Al Bundy
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 7 days ago

            A chunt? Thats racist!

            1. Caine & Co.
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 7 days ago

              yep, he's also a racist!

    3. Punty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Could be good pick/value.. depends if he will start playing 90 minutes every game now like Yaya or if he keeps playing 60-70

    4. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Why Nasri when you can Silva, I always say

  23. favel nedved
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Hello lads! Will be helpful if you could share your thoughts

    1) Is Azpi still nailed on and the best value for money option from
    Chlesea?

    2) Will zaba be rotated with sagna or will he start all PL games?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Sagna and Luis will get game time.

    2. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Sagna will get the easy games at home. This is the irritating thinking about the idea of owning Zaba

      1. Mahesh_Kumar
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        thinking = thing

  24. Heels_Over_Head

  25. Mr. O'Connell

    Morning, looking for some last min advice

    Guzan
    Wisdom, Azpi, Clyne
    Hazard (C), Shanchez, Yaya, Siggy, Boyd
    Bony, Jovetic

    Gilks, Dummett, Chambers, Austin

    A lot in the bank, frees used. Anything worth a hit? e.g. Chambers to Baines/Zaba and play them over Wisdom?

    Thanks

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      I want to do the same. Zaba, but I will wait.

  26. enrico.palazzo

    Hazard (vc) - Sanchez (c) - chadli - siggy - nasri
    Bony - Costa

    Wisdom/Hutton, yun, Austin

    1) right captain?
    2) should I double up on wba defence or play hutton

    Thanks all, good luck this game week

    1. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      1. Haz
      2. Play Hutton to cover the likelihood of Villa cs.

      1. enrico.palazzo
        • 13 Years

        I like you're thinking and will probably do that. Team in good nick? Thanks for input

      Good defence , really don't like that mid though...... I wouldn't do a bit though. Who's (c)?

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years

      Good team, gtg. CAptain Haz or Roo.

    3. Jafalad
      • 15 Years

      Fabs->Sanchez.

      Are you worried abt luis starting instead? Or maybe sagna?

  28. andres
    • 14 Years

    chambers => zab (-4) or play this team?

    Forster (McCarthy)
    Naylor Azpi clyne (Moore CHAMBERS)
    downing Yaya Haz Alexis Boyd
    Costa Bony (AUSTIN)
    1.9, no FT

    1. NABIL - FPL otai

      that -4.

    2. Joggers Nipple

      -4 it

    3. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Half of the FPL universe will be taking a -4 or worse this week. If I were you I'd resist.

      1. enrico.palazzo
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Exactly spot on.

  29. Super-Hans
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Good to go? No hit so far, and I really think I should leave it as it is even though my keeper and my defence is rather sh*t....! Thoughts? Who to captain? Is considering Sanchez, but scared one of the two from Chelsea will go mad and punish me for not believing in them....!

    Green - (Krul)
    Bartley - Wisdom - Hutton - (Naughton) - (Duff)
    Sterling - Sanchez - Hazard - Siggy - (Downing)
    Rooney - Costa - Dzeko

    Play Siggy at home to TOT or Downing away to SUN? Benched Downing last week and got burned....

    1. Jafalad
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      This is the issue with front 8s like this. Sterlo could be Yaya.

      Capn Haz.

      1. Super-Hans
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        Don't have the funds to do Sterling to Yaya, unfortunately. And I don't like hits...!
        Will consider Haz, cheers.

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 days ago

      Number 1. Great user name
      Number 2. How are you doing overall? I know people will sniff at the ultra cheap defence but i like that route generally.

      bench Downing i guess

      1. Super-Hans
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 days ago

        1. Cheers, Sab. Peep Show is great!
        2. After a horrible start I've been doing alright lately. So I'm 55k at the moment. But two years ago I was number 9 in the world a couple of weeks before end of season, so everything seems to be a dissapointment after that...! But that year I went for the cheap-defence-route, and that is what I'm trying to reproduce this year. How about you? How's your team? Overall rank?

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 7 days ago

          1. Totally agree
          2. Been pretty fortunate and around 2k at the moment. Just this week got my first 'big' defender of the season.

          Had-
          Hutton Yun Chambers NTaylor Clyne

          Did chambers to Zab
          Started with Chambers from beginning of season

          Think having a strong front 8 over xams where rotation and rest kicks in will do you well. A good 1st sub will prob be called upon

  30. toaster
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 days ago

    Horrible weekend of injuries, suspensions e.t.c. as with everybody else.

    Decided I'd leave Fabianski and have a non-playing goalkeeper as my only other keeper was Hamer who I've carried as a 4m since GW1.

    Just found out he's playing this weekend (though it is against City).
