          This is the main thing! 🙂 Would be happy if that was his final game for me, and then i'll downgrade.

            😯 ..wait..... what!? 😆

  3. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any word on Siggy yet? Are you keeping or getting rid? I'd have to take a hit to get a player I want to replace him so I don't see the value this close to the wildcard.

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

      Keeping as he allegedly could have played last game and basically was rested with a niggle. Looks nailed on to play now, with a good fixture too.

    2. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      looks like he was out of the previous game as a precaution. Monk talked about Siggy being 90% but he wanted players who are 100%. I think he will play.

      Also, http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30563334 seems to allude it was rotation.

      "I knew making those changes that people would question it but I was very confident in the group," said Monk. "We have such a busy period coming up and, if you play the same 11 players in that period, that's suicide for me. We haven't got the biggest squad, but we have got quality."

    8. Zombie
      • 13 Years

      Morning Doos. What do reckon about your match with the table toppers? Any surprises waiting for us?

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yes. We will score. Maybe two. 🙂

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

          So Downing(c) :p? Or maybe Sakho (thinking of benching him though)

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I am playing Sakho, for the following reason:

            I can see QPR not getting enough ball to supply Austin.
            I feel that we will have a decent supply of quality ball ...

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

              Interesting.

              So out of these 8:
              Yaya,Hazard, Downing, siggy, Sanchez
              Sakho, Bony, Austin

              You would be benching Austin?

    9. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Are you looking forward to the match on Friday? Could be a pretty even contest, see yourself getting something? I'm excited to watch it.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Very much indeed. Very excited. 🙂

        1. Black Knights
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Would be good to see you getting a result there, you're making a better fist than Southampton of disrupting the top 4.

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            We will need Noble to be fir though. 🙂

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

    What would you do with a front 3 of Roonpig, Sacko and Costa going into this gawk?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd keep and captain Rooney with his previous record against Newcastle taken into account.

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I would rather look at shipping. Plays deeper then Yaya

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

          We captained Lampard every week at 12.5 from the same position in his prime, and I rate Rooney just as dangerous in front of goal. A little less points as a striker, but still. Would keep at home to newcastle.

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

            Plus billions.

          2. Venom Snake
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Not in the same league.

            Yeah, you heard me.

          3. money face bandwagon
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            lampard is different...he scores 175 goals from that position

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      leave 'em

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I would swap Rooney for van Persie or Bony.

    4. grapesland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      A big points haul just as likely as a virgin birth, so keep calm - its christmas 🙂

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

        Are virgin births that common?

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

          It happens.

    5. Jafalad
      • 16 Years

      Cheers lads-status quo for this week. Guns
      n Roses next week. 🙂

    6. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years

      Sakho to Bony?

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

        No cash.

    why Hazard whyyyy

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years

      He's a Hazard

    2. Woy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      100% this.
      Absolutely gutted FPL wise that he went off, regardless how bad it is. I need a strong Haz at home. More importantly I need him to outscore Cesc

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        you and many others.

        1. Stannage

  8. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Can any Rooney owners make a case for keeping? It's him or Costa that needs downgrading.

      It's the ultimate pleasure. Allows you to either splurge on two glory transfers, or fine tune your deadwood with no other pressing issues.

        Talked myself out of Barkley to silva last week to allow me the flexibility of 2FTs this week.

        Can't win them all

      I would only do two of those anyway.

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years

        Which two?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          Baines and Barkley, for me. 🙂

          1. HamezMace
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Keep Welbeck long term, or just for the QPR game?

    I'm sliding ranks pretty quickly in recent weeks. My team is too template. If the lower ownership players don't do anything I may as well forget the GW.

    Currently rank 278 and had 3 reds in a row now.

    What would you do?

    Adrian (Krul)

    Bertrand Zabaleta Naylor (Wisdom Chambers)

    Sanchez Yaya Hazard Eriksen (Cork)

    Rooney Austin Bony

    Please help!

      No need to put in your rank mate

    3. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Didn't you just have Adrian, Bertrand, Naylor, Zabs clean sheets, plus Yaya, Haz and Austin? That's not too shabby is it?

        Just noticed you've linked your team to a specific GW points. You're better off using the link to your Gameweek History page.

      Heard Fabregas has incredibly low ownership with ye top couple of hundreds, he seems a good choice if this is true.

      Are you asking the peleton to help you breake further away?

      Fair enough. Hazard to ADM then.

    Why are so many people (based on FFF) taking Fletcher (SUN) in? I have him and planning to get Austin in for him. Confused.....

  15. Stannage

    What r people doing with hazard? Assuming Jose keeps cards close to his chest....it is worth taking 4pt hit for Silva or fabregas?.....

    1. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm in the same boat and don't know!

  16. Shifty
    • 12 Years

    So if Hazard out...Downing comes in. Not too bad?

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

      2 points I guess is OK.

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Plenty don't have a choice but to play Downing anyway - but he was always going to be first sub for me. Oh well.

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

          2 points is better than 0 points, and he may surprise and bag more.

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

      Yep, nice first sub!

    3. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Good thing with this is we'll know immediately if we're cheering Downing on. Not like waiting to see if our injured player makes it on a Monday night, knowing we're watching our first sub and not knowing if we want points or not.

        Indeed, but I think he can do his job.

    Reeling from some pretty hefty body blows.
    5 red arrows in 6 GWs.
    Rival has closed a 51 point gap in 3 GWs and we're now level.
    My team looks great for this week though, so I'm keeping calm and saving FT, I think. Rotation will affect everyone so no point in trying to second guess the managers.

    Merry Christmas 🙂

    1. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      same, rival closed a big gap also. but I prefer it this way.

      When leading, you try not to play based on your rivals...but subconsciously it still affects my style of play. more conservative, take less risks etc. Eg was going to get Silva in this week, but Eriksen was in my rival's team coming off 2 great games + 2 plum fixtures. Meh.

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

      It didn't look too bad. Painful but not muscular etc. doesn't mean to say it could be an ideal opportunity to give him a little rest.

      1. tokara

        he already had his rest last week

          play 3 games in such a short period u will be tired regardless of whether u are rested or not..and his so called rest is actually just midweek rest..

          1. tokara
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            that would be the same for Rooney then, isnt it?

            everyone will be rested

    Hmm was thinking of taking Oscar out for Silva this week but this Hazard news may just make the decision for me. Think unless José comes out and says Hazard is fine then he's coming out. Interested to know what other people plan to do with him?

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Might do Hazard to Oscar, if he missed this one he'll play a decent amount of the next three.

      1. Wheato182
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        That's what I'm thinking. Oscar should be bolted now for the next few games.

  28. King H

    Falcao will explode against Newcastle. Di Maria back and swinging them in. I predict at least a brace if he starts.

          Falcao did not look that rusty. I thought he got into some good positions and took his chance well. He is a world class finisher and just needs half a chance imo. At old traforrd if he starts am sure he will score

          1. Van Dal
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            no doubting that however rotation is a worry.

              • 14 Years

              True mate. But I think he will play through the Christmas period. A think Rvp will be rested on boxing day

              1. Van Dal
                • 16 Years
                11 years, 3 months ago

                Hmm i dont think he will as he was taken off at 60min but upto you mate could work out!

    2. grapesland

      Before his injury ADM and Rooney connected really well going forward.

  29. C-Dawgg
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    There's been a lot of discussion over City defence rotation for the xmas period.

    Zabaleta, Cliche, Mangala... I think I even heard Demichelis name thrown in. Seems like everyone wants one but no one wants to pick since we don't know who is getting rested.

    The fixtures are amazing, so why not get two?

    With the decline of Baines and no expensive viable forward left people have cash to spare and a premium defensive slot free, apart from Zab they are all pretty cheap. If they both play with the fixtures coming you have serious points potential, if one is rested then no big deal, one will play and a cheap option rotates in from the bench.

    This also reduces the chance you have 2-3 premium defenders rested on the same game week as it seems unlikely they City would rest 2 out of the 4 in the same week, whereas if you have say, Zab, Api x then its feasible they all get rested in one week.

    Bit of a long post, but the more I typed the more I got into the idea!

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      for me you don't pay that price for two in anticipation one will get benched - flirting with danger. and if both p;ay and city concede then you shoot yourself in the foot

      1. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        or worse... one replaces the other at 59 mins

        1. C-Dawgg
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          This seem absurd, firstly when do wing back and centre backs replace each other? I'm not saying get Kolarov and Zab/Clichy.

          Yes if City concede you lose points, but you can still have decent attacking returns and having players from two teams doesn't guarantee a CS anyway, what other team has fixtures this good??

          Can you name one defender you expect to get more points over the next 3 games? If not then statistically it doesn't matter.
