This evening, we roll out the seventh round draw of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup X, as sponsored by Paddy Power, and take a look back at the key events during New Year’s Day’s sixth round ties.

United Nations is fast becoming the manager to beat after clocking up his second prize for scoring the highest number of points in a round. A tally of 69 points has propelled him into 334th position overall, earning him another £25 worth of free bets from Paddy Power and setting him up for a round seven tie with Mince and Tatties. United Nations’ fielding of Harry Kane and Gael Clichy proved crucial to his victory.

The giant-killing accolade of the round goes to Aaron Ramessi. He may be ranked 33,436th overall but he saw off round six’s highest ranked manager Never Trust Lukaku, who is ranked 19th. Aaron Ramessi now faces CMIFLFC in the seventh round.

Other notable round seven ties include Mediocre Men, who knocked Granville out in round five, taking on Momalpashands, and community writer Saata facing up to Wolverine. Jimbojunior drew the short straw and meets round seven’s highest ranked manager Mjfdept, who is 65th overall.

Among the 16 remaining competitors, 13 have a rank within the top 10,000 and four are in the elite top 1,000 group.

The full list of sixth round results can be found here, while the seventh round draw in full can be found here.

Good luck to those involved in the weekend’s action. In the meantime, though, if you’re looking for more information on the Scout Cup schedule and prizes available, click this link for a more thorough rundown.

    WC draft (from GW 23, and assuming Aguero plays some minutes vs Arsenal)

    Foster / Begovic
    Terry Bertrand Cresswell O'Shea Wisdom
    Hazard Sanchez Sterling Chadli Downing
    Aguero Austin Kane

    £0.8m in the bank

    Not looked at keeper rotation much, so could be way off with that. Thoughts?

    1. Walsh
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Looks decent. Probably would not want Austin. Cresswell also too expensive for me. Would like to consolidate Chadli and Downing into a heavy hitter too probably.

      1. FionnMac
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I think I agree about Cresswell, West Ham's fixtures aren't great from GW23 either. Debuchy decent alternative?

        1. Walsh
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah I'd rather have him than Cresswell. They are a mess right now but if Kos can stick in that side they should get better.

    2. Fiona B
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No way to get fab in there?

      1. FionnMac
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I have him currently actually. Sterling>Fab and Downing>Body could work.

        Would give me 3 Chelsea though and make it harder to get Costa if Aguero gets crocked again!

        1. Walsh
          11 years, 10 months ago

          It would only take two transfers 🙂

  2. Lallana_
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I'm a bit pissed off Dummet has fallen while Kane hasn't 🙁

    1. Lallana_
      11 years, 10 months ago

      while Kane hasn't rose*

  3. crteer
    11 years, 10 months ago

    G'day all.

    Need a bit of help with my team as I am unsure what to do - your help would be appreciated!

    De Gea / (McCarthy)
    Baines / Taylor / Hutton / (Duff *) / (Bertrand)
    Sanchez / Fabregas / Yaya Toure / Downing / (Boyd)
    Austin / Costa / Lukaku

    1 FT, 0.0 ITB

    Any suggestions, or who would you bring in with a wildcard?

    1. La Roja
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Hmm there is this loser called Lukaku in your team 🙂

      Get rid of him for Kane

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Lukaka 🙁

        1. La Roja
          11 years, 10 months ago

          🙂

    2. Walsh
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yaya to Hazard and don't wildcard.

      1. crteer
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Yaya - Hazard
        Lukaku - Kane

        Worth a -4?

        1. Walsh
          11 years, 10 months ago

          No hit. Just stick with Lukaku and pray.

      2. Wiz
        11 years, 10 months ago

        This

      3. ILOVEBAPS
        11 years, 10 months ago

        This and Captain. Worth a hit to get Kane too imo.

  4. Wiz
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Play Baines (MCI) or Chester (wba) ? 😕

    1. Walsh
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Chester

      1. Wiz
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Leaning towards him atm, you reckon they'll keep a CS ?

        1. Walsh
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Probably not but definitely a better chance of a Hull clean than Baines getting an attacking return I'd think.

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            11 years, 10 months ago

            I disagree..

            1. Walsh
              11 years, 10 months ago

              The beauty of contrasting opinions on an FPL form then, isn't it 😉

              1. Walsh
                11 years, 10 months ago

                *forum

    2. Lallana_
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Chester

    3. Dr. Agabuse
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Baines

    4. Puyol Pants Up
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Baines.

      wba will score

      1. Wiz
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Hull will concede less goals though 😆

    5. John Nerdelbaum
      11 years, 10 months ago

      NBNC 🙂

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        11 years, 10 months ago

        What happened to Scarlett 🙁 Loved looking at that!

        1. John Nerdelbaum
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Ha! Prefer sarcastic clerk guy

      2. Wiz
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Can't wait to wc him out 😡

    6. Wiz
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Cheers all

  5. Frank Black
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Current WC Team:

    De Gea - Hamer

    Azpilicueta - Terry - Clichy - Hutton - Wisdom

    Hazard - Silva - Cazorla - Sanchez - Chadli

    Rooney - Kane - Austin

    How can i improve this?

    Other players i'm keeping an eye on are: Forster, Bertrand, ADM and Falcao.

    1. Walsh
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldn't be doubling on Chelsea defense, but I can see it working out. Clichy should not be there. Rest looks okay.

      1. Not Irish
        11 years, 10 months ago

        And an Arsenal midfield. Also wouldn't be looking at Austin.

        1. Frank Black
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I already had Austin, i don't feel safe selling him right now. I'll give him one or two more GWs.

      2. Frank Black
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I could upgrade Clichy to Zabaleta but i don't want to lose De Gea...i don't know, i might go Forster and Zabaleta but De Gea seems like a good pick.

        1. Walsh
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I wouldn't even be considering a City defender given their prices.

          1. Frank Black
            11 years, 10 months ago

            That's why i went with Clichy, he's the cheapest one. I'm tempted to go back to Bertrand but he needs to show me a little more, i don't know if the Saints are going back to their defensive consistency.

    2. La Roja
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Benching headache for front 8. Plus would be keen to get Cesc or Costa if I'm on WV.

      1. La Roja
        11 years, 10 months ago

        WC*

      2. Frank Black
        11 years, 10 months ago

        I'm done with Costa, sold him ages ago.

  6. John Nerdelbaum
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Play Zabaloleta or Cresswell?

    1. La Roja
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'd play Zaba simply because Neverton looks never in form

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Always seem to be goals at Goodison in this fixture.

        1. La Roja
          11 years, 10 months ago

          He could get involve in any of the City goals

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Zab

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'm not answering you. You took her away 🙁

  7. Not Irish
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I suppose Yaya>Fab and benching Austin is better than Austin>Berahino right now?

    1. Timtastic03
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I think so yea.

    2. La Roja
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yep no brainer imo

    3. Amateur Pundit Zan
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Definitely better

    4. Walsh
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I would not bench Austin, but I will be doing that Yaya to Fab transfer as well unless problems arise from FA Cup ties.

      1. Not Irish
        11 years, 10 months ago

        He's stopped scoring as soon as I brought him in. I loathe him. Will be best for all involved to part ways but not this week. Only other option is to bench Downing.

        1. Walsh
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Same I got Austin in before the Palace game. 🙁 I have the same decision and will be benching Downing, myself.

          1. Not Irish
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Burnley have been crap TBF so maybe you're right. He'll surely score a peno if I bench him. Very uneasy about benching Downing though. Ugh.

            1. Walsh
              11 years, 10 months ago

              Kane taught me a lesson yesterday.

              1. Not Irish
                11 years, 10 months ago

                My condolences.

    5. Not Irish
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Cheers guys.

      1. Captain Shirokov
        11 years, 10 months ago

        No prob.

  8. Dr. Agabuse
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Three projections:

    1 Senegal should be bid on at 12/1 - They have Mane and Sakho!
    2 If Senegal dont Marke the semis I will have Mane and Sakho in my GW24 WcTeam
    3 Baines will be the ultimate WCDifferential

    1. Vamos Los Celeste
      11 years, 10 months ago

      We beat them in tunisia and draw in senegal , they 're not that good

  9. Fiona B
    11 years, 10 months ago

    OK I did it, I played my WC, I am ashamed of myself.

    This will be the team: (I haven't got aguero in yet, but easily done by downgrading Silva to Boyd)

    Pants / Hamer
    Clyne / Debuchy / Clichy / Hutton / Wisdom
    Haz / Fab / Sanchez / Downing / Boyd
    Aguero / Costa / Kane

    If Aguero and Kompany dropped 0.1 each, can get Kompany over Clichy.

    Decent? I know the tripple Chelsea will bother some. But not other mids/forwards producing at the moment.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Too much Chelsea get o e Utd player

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Fixtures are only alright

      2. Fiona B
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Is too much Chelsea a bad thing when they are the top scoring mids/forwards?

        1. Fiona B
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Good point re Man U, might get Jones instead of Clichy, but Man U have looked terrible at the back.

    2. Timtastic03
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Aguero won't drop anymore I don't think. Silva may rise though. Clichy not nailed, Hamer's place may be under threat from Schwarzer

      1. Fiona B
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks, I am hoping for that Silva rise, then only 0.1 away from Kompany,

  10. Captain Shirokov
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Hamer
    Terry, Wisdom, Cresswell
    Hazard(c), Fabregas, Sanchez, Downing, Siggy
    Austin, Kane

    (Zab, Skrtel, Bojan)

    G2G?

    1. Not Irish
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Might as well be.

    2. Timtastic03
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'd start Zab over Wisdom/Cresswell. Having trouble picking one though. Hamer nailed? When does Schwarzer get there?

      1. Captain Shirokov
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Not sure, will play him anyway. Not much chance of sub appearance.

  11. Volk
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Will Raheem Sterling be playing in the African Cup of Nations?

    1. Captain Shirokov
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Already had that one.

    2. A.T
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No he plays for England so won't be going

    3. Dr. Agabuse
      11 years, 10 months ago

      And yes it's racist

  12. Outatime
    11 years, 10 months ago

    What to do with this team?

    Foster - Panti
    Zab - Baines - Azpi - Hutton - Taylor
    Sanchez - Silva - Siggy - Downing - Boyd
    Kane - Rooney - Austin

    4.8 ITB

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Hazard?

      1. Outatime
        11 years, 10 months ago

        But for who?

        1. John Nerdelbaum
          11 years, 10 months ago

          sigs or down

  13. ILOVEBAPS
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Might ditch Costa for Rooney/ Falcao next GW.
    Good idea?

    1. La Roja
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't.

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No.costa's back

    3. ZolaBackheel
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No. Costa is slowly finding his early form.

    4. mgilbert86
      11 years, 10 months ago

      good options

    5. ILOVEBAPS
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Unanimous then. Damn... I wanted Fabs with Haz and Terry.

      1. mgilbert86
        11 years, 10 months ago

        falcao is as good an option as costa if he continues starting

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Big IF though... guess we will just have to take a leap of faith.

    6. Amateur Pundit Zan
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Im thinking going the other way rooney > costa

  14. Twelve years a slave
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Clyne should not fall much, especially as many of the sales will be on wildcard.
    As someone who paid 5m for him , there no way im selling. Plus when his flag comes off his price will be frozen

    1. Not Irish
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I bought him at 5.2m and I'm keeping him and Bertrand(who I got at 5m).

    2. Walsh
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yep, would certainly would keep in that position.

    3. La Roja
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Likewise. He will probably go down by 0.1 until flag comes off which perfectly fine as I bought him at 5m too.

    4. John Nerdelbaum
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yep wish I had held on to him

    5. Fiona B
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I held onto him through the bad times, got him for 5, not letting go now.

  15. Not Irish
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Seems quality City cover is hard to come by until the little one returns.

    1. Billy Gilmore
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Pretty happy with my Jovetic so far.

      1. BeachBadger
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Silva and Jov have been my most solid acquisitions. Who would have guessed that

    2. Not Irish
      11 years, 10 months ago

      My gut is telling me to get Lamps in for Yaya.

      1. Fiona B
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Unlikely to play a full 90.

        1. Not Irish
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Likely to be on penos though.

          1. Fiona B
            11 years, 10 months ago

            If he happens to be on the pitch when a penalty happens. I'm only being devil's advocate here, lhead/ogic says it is a bad move for a 4th mid. 5th mid fine.

      2. ZolaBackheel
        11 years, 10 months ago

        That's what I'm thinking also, but they have Fernando and Fernandinho to cover up Yaya's position.

        Who do you think will be best Yaya replacement out of Haz and Sanchez?

        1. Not Irish
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Hazard. He's necessary.

  16. Sylvester the Investor
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Giroud is back from suspension and next two home fixtures are Stoke and Villa. He seems to have dropped off the FPL radar since his red card but was on fire before that. Might even be a nice captaincy option. Anyone else thinking of loading up?

    1. Timtastic03
      11 years, 10 months ago

      For 1 week. Yup

  17. ZolaBackheel
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Best Yaya Replacement?

    1. Silva
    2. Chadli
    3. Downing
    4. Sterling
    5. Mata?
    6. Cheeky LAMPARD punt

    My midfield already consist of : Hazard, Sanchez, Fabregaz, Siggy, Yaya

    Thanks for the answer guys

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Silva

  18. mgilbert86
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Until I WC:

    A) Costa ADM

    B) Rooney Fabregas

    1. ZolaBackheel
      11 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. La Roja
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Adm is nowhere near to match fitness.

      B

    3. Wiz
      11 years, 10 months ago

      A

    4. ILOVEBAPS
      11 years, 10 months ago

      My quandary also and leaning towards B

  19. Adderz
    11 years, 10 months ago

    I asked this earlier but noone seemed to know.

    I activated my wildcard yesterday and made 10 transfers for free...but now when i try to make more transfers it's saying I need to take a hit, and my wildcard status still says 'available' instead of active or used. Anyone know what's happening there?

    1. justgiving.com/JonnyChard
      11 years, 10 months ago

      are you sure you hit the activate wildcard button? :s would hate to find a -36 hit!

      1. Adderz
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Definitely! If I didn't hit the activate wildcard it'd be coming us as like -44 when I try to make a transfer instead of -4

        1. justgiving.com/JonnyChard
          11 years, 10 months ago

          It would still come up as -4 when making extra transfers once you've already made transfers, I'd hit the activate wildcard button, just to cover any shock come the GW! :')

          1. Adderz
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah think it's just a glitch that'll fix itself and charge me at the end of the week! I'll activate again to be safe.

      2. Twelve years a slave
        11 years, 10 months ago

        You obviously havent activat d

        1. Adderz
          11 years, 10 months ago

          But it'd show my hits surely? As a (-44) or something under 'Pick Team' like it always does when I take a hit...and there's nothing

    2. Davido989
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Email fpl with your team link

      1. Fiona B
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Or he could take the 10 free transfers and still activate the wildcard another week ..... I won't tell, if you won't

        1. Davido989
          11 years, 10 months ago

          😉

  20. Amateur Pundit Zan
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Afternoon dead zone. Help with this team much appreciated.
    Foster, myhill
    Zaba, Azpi, dummett, naylor, Hutton
    Sanchez, hazard, nasri, Erik, sterling
    Rooney, Austin, Kane
    2ft, 1.9m

    I was thinking
    A) nasri > fab
    B) nasri > caz
    C) nasri + Rooney > caz + Costa

        Thats what you get for getting hurrikane as your 8th attacker. Benched eriksen this week 🙂

      Thanks al, a currently my favourite. Would be first time i own fab

  21. crteer

    Bench one - Baines or Bertrand?

    1. La Roja
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Can u not play both?

      1. crteer
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Taylor and Hutton are my other defenders, thoughts? (Last defender is Duff who is injured).

        1. La Roja
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I'd bench Hutton. Lei is scoring goals lately and it's a must win for them

    2. Wiz
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I'd bench Berty

    Looks like FPL Stats predicted the wildcard affected price changes slightly better tonight. They correctly predicted De Gea and were only 0.6% away from correctly calling Dummett's drop too.

    FFF: 0 out of 3 risers and predicted risers, and 0/3 fallers and predicted fallers.
    FPLS: 1/4 risers and predicted risers, and 0/2 fallers and predicted fallers (or 1/3 if you give them Dummett.

    1. Diva
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Sorry, 1 of 2 if you give them Dummett.

    2. Wiz
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Still not good enough though

      1. Diva
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Better than I could ever do but, yes, not reliable.

  23. Twelve years a slave
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Will southampton finish in top four?
    I think they might, no european football to worry about, looking forward to the utd game next week

    1. mgilbert86
      11 years, 10 months ago

      mane is a big loss for this month

    2. Not Irish
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I honestly think have as good a shot as anyone aside from City and Chelsea.

    3. La Roja
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I think they have a decent chance. Manu and arsenal not consistent, Liverpool is meh and I don't think Spurs is better team than Saints.

      I would really like to see them qualifying for CL. Imagine how Shaw, Lallana, Lovren, Lambert faces if happens

      1. Davido989
        11 years, 10 months ago

        +1

        3rd best team in the league atm, for me anyway.

    4. Davido989
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Arsenal, well Wenger, always seems to find a way

      1. Diva
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Third or fourth every year since 2006. Crazy.

    5. SW6
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I really think they could, defensively they're not far behind Chelsea, far ahead of their rivals in that department.

    6. ILOVEBAPS
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I think they will. Ars look a shambles in defence

    7. Amateur Pundit Zan
      11 years, 10 months ago

      They can based on how well they've been playing but history would tell us they probably wont

  24. Arctic monkeys
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Morning All.

    Would you play Boyd Over Downing this gw ?

    1. Not Irish
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I am.

      1. Arctic monkeys
        11 years, 10 months ago

        and do you think Downing should be in a WC team ? Or should i replace him with Chadli or siggy

    2. Walsh
      11 years, 10 months ago

      No.

  25. Clam. ☘️
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Is Yaya to Sanchez the obvious transfer for me?
    Foster - Heaton
    Zaba - Terry - Naylor - Hutton - Yun
    Hazard - Yaya - Eriksen - Downing - Siggy
    Costa - Kane - Austin
    1FT 3.4itb.

    1. La Roja
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yaya to Sanchez

    2. Walsh
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

    3. ZolaBackheel
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Yes for you.

      Could you help me :

      Hazard Sanchez Fab Siggy Yaya.

      Who is best to replace Yaya? Thanks.

      1. Clam. ☘️
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Boyd IMO. That way you won't have a benching issue

    4. Clam. ☘️

  27. white lightning
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on my latest wc draft for gw21. 0.5itb.

    Hart (Panti)
    Terry, Shaw, Hutton (Bertrand, Wisdom)
    Hazard (c), Fabregas, Sanchez, Chadli (Boyd)
    RVP, Kane, Austin

    Opinions appreciated & thanks in advance.

    1. Walsh
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Don't like Hart or Shaw. Rest looks okay. Maybe go without Austin.

      1. white lightning
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks Walsh. The 5 teams who have conceded the least shots per game are Soton (9.3), Ars (10.2), Che (10.3 but 7.9 at home), MCI (10.5) & MU (10.8). Hart is the most nailed City (wanted Clichy but rotation) but I might reconsider due to fixtures. Shaw is a punt based on low ownership & has strong upcoming fixtures & with Young going down he should be nailed.
        Austin is very consistent, averages 4.1 shots per game (2.3 in penalty area) & with Burnley up next should do well especially with half of the Burnley defence injured.

        I might go Foster in for Hart. Would go Heaton but explanation above.

        1. Walsh
          11 years, 10 months ago

          I would definitely pick Foster over Hart. Shaw can't stay on the pitch and has done nothing to date this season to warrant a pick and I wouldn't want to punt on a defender when generally there is more to gain by using your transfers on attack. I agree re Austin but they have gotten pretty much all of their good home fixtures out of the way already and I see him slowing down a bit. Still good value but with Kane such an obvious pick I'd be tempted to get someone a bit more expensive than Austin.

          1. white lightning
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Cheers mate. Will look into some Austin alternatives but will play him this week against an understrength Burnley defence.

    Love having the Wildcard waiting , allows so many short term fixture based punts as no worries about being stuck with them

    ADM & Rvp looking good for this 🙂

    1. Twelve years a slave
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Im not liking it, taking short term punts on the likes of zabaleta and silva has left me far from impressed

  29. PotentialPrudential
    11 years, 10 months ago

    Hey guys.. finally decided to stop reading all your comments and actually interact for once.. you're all really helpful for information, hoping maybe I can contribute a little also..

    Was wondering if you'd all rate my team.. Wildcard is active..

    Lloris

    Clichy Terry Cissokho

    Silva Fabregas Chadli Hazard Downing

    Ings Rooney

    Bench - Guzan Kane Clyne O'Shea

    My mate question with regards to this one is should I do Terry, Kane & Silva > Costa, Cresswell & Boyd..

    The main points being City having a recognised striker back (Silva output dropping), Burnley with a good run of fixtures of Burnley and gambling on Costa taking more points than JT (Doesn't seem to get anywhere near the bonus returns JT takes)

    Would really appreciate some insight.. Thank you all!

    1. Walsh
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Good start for me. Lloris too expensive to go with for me, I'd find a cheaper guy to rotate with Guzan. I'd go with a defender from WBA with Pulis incoming. I'd take out Clichy. I'd go without Rooney. I'd go without Chadli and Silva as well. AdM could be a good pick if he is fit after the FA Cup tie. Alexis is tough to go without given his explosiveness and ownership levels I'd try and fit him in. Kane should be starting. I'd maybe take a punt on Jovetic or Giroud. I am not a fan of tripling on Chelsea attack, so I would either go with Haz and Fab or Haz and Costa. Tough call there. Good luck mate!

  30. Not Irish
    11 years, 10 months ago

    So with Yaya gone for the month and the WC lying in wait is it just me or does Lampard seem like a really sensible punt right now?

    1. Frank Black
      11 years, 10 months ago

      I considered him as a fifth MF but he doesn't play enough minutes.

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Doesn't need that many tbf.

    2. Davido989
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Possible pens too

      1. Not Irish
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Should definitely be on them until Kun is back in which case I'll be wildcarding anyway. Or not with all the money I have in the bank. Hmmm.

    3. Wiz
      11 years, 10 months ago

      It's just you 😆

      1. Twelve years a slave
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Do short term man c punts ever work

        So far this season had fails on
        Jotevic
        Dzeko
        Zabaleta
        Silva

        All fails

        1. Not Irish
          11 years, 10 months ago

          lol

        2. Wiz
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Some people went Milner too

        3. SC not pearls before swine
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Jovetic has been a smashing success for me: 2, 13, 2, 11.

          1. SC not pearls before swine
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Dang it I also had him for his one last week. Still 5.8 PPG isn't bad.

        4. Joga Bonito®
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Moral of the story don't captain non-Aguero City players.

        5. BeachBadger
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Silva and Jov have been successful for.me. Dzeko and Zab never even got me a point yet lol

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

      Yep great punt

    5. Walsh
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Not worth using a transfer for a fifth mid this close to using the WC and security of starts means that he cannot be trusted as a fourth mid. No for me.

      1. Not Irish
        11 years, 10 months ago

        He's fourth mid material for sure. Even if he only plays 60 most weeks.

        1. La Roja
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Or even 30 that matter. He could have had a hatty vs sunderland

        2. Walsh
          11 years, 10 months ago

          He ain't for me! Too many other good options I would never consider starting Lampard. Especially with their tough fixtures after the Everton game.

    6. Captain Shirokov
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Great option imo

    7. Joga Bonito®
      11 years, 10 months ago

      Could be a great call. You'd have to accept that he'll still not start every game though.

      1. Not Irish
        11 years, 10 months ago

        Doesn't really need to does he.

        1. Joga Bonito®
          11 years, 10 months ago

          Well it's not great if he's coming in gettig 1 point. He's not going to score everytime he comes off the bench.

          1. Not Irish
            11 years, 10 months ago

            Should surely be starting with Yaya gone.
