    Chances of Giroud boy starting?

    1. The Manbearpig
      • 12 Years

      very big

  2. Galfadez

    Hi everyone, just wondering what price we're expecting Messi to be? And will he effect Hazard's output? Thankyou and God bless.

    1. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Lol. Wait a bit.

    2. sinik

      Messi is not leaving Barcelona lol..

  3. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    With Sam Vokes back is it likely Barnes will be benched?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, I think so

    2. Little Frank
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Vokes is being gradually eased back, you may get another week out of Barnes but longer term Vokes is the preferred partner for Ings.

    I have: Haz, Terry and no United.

    Yaya -> ?

    a) Fab
    b) ADM
    c) Eriksen (have Kane)
    d) Sterling

    Thanks lads 😀

    1. BenDavies
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      ADM definitely

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks mate, what are his chances of starting?

    2. janowsc
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I have the same issue. What to do with Yaya this week? Should I take a hit to get Kane or is it not worth the wait? I'm thinking ADM, but will he start?

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, it's tough. I would be reluctant to take a hit with such a short time for it to pay off, but a minus 4 could be ok I guess.

    3. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years

      AdM

    Anyone else thinking about doubling up on West Brom and Sunderland defence?

    In light of the articles on GK and defender rotation (and the potential WBA Pulis effect), I'm looking at the following back 7:

    Foster Panti
    Terry Clyne Wisdom Vergini Hutton

    Would double up for strong fixtures, or spread the love with one GK/def from each team otherwise.

    Thoughts?

    1. RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      MY WC back seven is at the moment:

      Foster Panti
      Terry Clichy Cresswell Wisdom Dummett

      I feel happy to double up with one but not both

      1. dush64
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        That was my thought too. But looking at WBA and AVL (the other two rotating DEFs), the team that rotates with them best is SUN (way better than other options).

        My have another look and avoid too many double ups.

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      PvA best Sunderland option

    3. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I went with no doubling which can be done while rotating.

      I might double South but not WBA and Sun. IMO GL

  6. hazza44
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    What to do with my free with 3.7 in the bank? Have no idea.

    Guzan (McCarthy)

    Wisdom Zab Aspi (Taylor Oshea)

    Sanchez Hazard Silva Downing (Boyd)

    Austin RVP Kane

    thanks guys :))

      replied on previous page 🙂

  7. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Play Downing? Or Use FT to do Yaya Toure>ADM and start ADM?

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      who is off the bench? I'm starting him but not so confident.

  8. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    not WCing for a couple weeks but here's a squad I'm tinkering with..

    Panty ᵍ Foster
    Clichy ᵈ Terry ᵈ PvA ᵈ Bertrand ᵈ Hutton
    Wally ᵐ Haz ᵐ ADM ᵐ Siggy ᵐ Boyd
    Kane ᶠ Kun ᶠ Falcao

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      You think Wally will outscore Sanchez?

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I think Wally plus the 2m+ I get from the swap will outscore Sanchez in a team that will likely see Ozil and Giroud also starting all the time..

        unless of course Sanchez plays up top in a 4-4-2 of sorts which I doubt

        1. Birds of Prey
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          according to this site Giroud not nailed.

          1. Shifty
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            Giroud is nailed on. End of discussion.

          2. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            they're wrong. Wenger didn't even want Welbeck on loan, let alone permanently

        2. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers.

    Messi is not leaving Barcelona 😆

    1. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      People actually believed he was?

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        yep lol

  10. Teror
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    ADM or Chadli? Leaning towards Chadli as ADM has been out injured for time and was looking poor before that injury.

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      so was the whole squad..he will link up brilliantly with Falcao and RVP now

  11. King Huth
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Any help out this team? was doing really well but couple recent PUNTs have been backfiring... caps one are concern and * are the one i really wanna take out... who should i deal with first?

    guzan mcarthy

    TOURE clyne hutton wisdom caulker*

    sanchez YAYA silva downing hazard

    rooney austin* benteke

    0.0 ITB 2FT

    Replacement ideas?

    Yaya --> ADM/Walcott/Sterling ??

    Other of interest: Trippier + Ings...

    Thanks for your help!!

    1. Jay_
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Yaya > Chadli and either
      Austin to Ings or Toure to Terry

      Next week Downing to AdM

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Guzan and Hutton is a rough double after this week.

      Clyne inj possibly

      yaya/AV player> AdM +1.5 itb

      then maybe DDG or Courtois

      1. Birds of Prey
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        or Yaya > Fab

        1. Birds of Prey
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          and save a ft and fix keeper following week. gl

  12. Jay_
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Has anyone from this forum ever made it very far in the FPL cup ? And has any 2 regulars on here ever drawn each other ?

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I've lost the last 2 years by a combined 4pts. I'm curious too how far has someone got?

  13. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Good morning DZ.

    Current front 8;

    YYT Hazard Sanchez Downing Boyd
    Rooney Austin Kane
    1FT, 4.5m.

    YYT>

    A) Fab
    B) Wally
    C) Silva
    D) ADM
    E) Sterling?

    Thanks.

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      A C D in that order. imo

  14. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Best move here chaps?

    A) Zaba/Chambers -> Trippier
    B) Hart -> Heaton
    C) Eriksen -> Chadli

    Bank 0.1m, 2 FT

    Hart
    Terry, Zaba, Wisdom
    Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Eriksen
    Costa, Kane, Austin

    Elliot, Downing, Hutton, Chambers

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. Jay_
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Any 2 of those are good moves , it's shame A and C didn't leave enough itb for Downing to AdM would have been perfect

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, A & C leave me 0.2m short of Downing -> Santi or Austin -> Giroud. Annoying.

        1. Birds of Prey
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          I picked up Cazorla he's now on pens and Giroud might still be in the doghouse ( I smell a halftime sub-in).

    3. Shifty
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      B I guess but I don't like that switch, don't really rate Burnley's defence.

      They didn't rotate at all during the festive period and I think they will start to tire and will def be in a relegation battle no matter what.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers Shifty, it truth I don't really like any of them but with 2 FT I need to use at least one.

        How about Hart & Chambers -> Lloris & Debuchy

        I'm WCing after GW22 so only 2 weeks to consider.

        1. Shifty
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          I think I replied before that I would just do Chambers > Debuchy if long term but if 2 weeks...

          Hart > Courtois? Don't see Chelsea conceding against Newcastle or Swansea.

          1. Jinswick
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            Already have 3 CHE lads and I don't have the cash for just a Chambers -> Debuchy switch 🙁

            1. Shifty
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 6 months ago

              Hmm tough one. Probably Hart > Heaton then if you want to make a transfer for a player who plays...otherwise Chambers>Ald even if you bench Ald this week...then have 2 FTs to take a couple of punts next GW before wildcarding in 22.

              1. Shifty
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 6 months ago

                23*

  15. RoyaleBlue
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Why is van aanholt an option again ?

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Cheap, attacking and with has fixtures. i.e. the holy trinity

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        *good

        1. RoyaleBlue
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          haha ok thanks. Was he injured before?

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            yep

            1. RoyaleBlue
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 6 months ago

              thanks

    2. Shifty
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      because he scored midweek.

      that aside, he looked good before his injury

    3. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      scored in the cup Sat. Gonna rise I bet.

  16. Big Bad Barry
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Guzan Given
    Terry Bertrand Clichy Wisdom Alder
    Hazard Fabergas Sanchez Silva Adm
    Giroud Kane Ings

    RMWCT

    That's it I'm done! For now anyway

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      don't have Guzan in a WC team

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Guzan gonna get hammered http://totalfpl.com/ worst fix's for next 5 games

      might not double South rotate Wisdom w/? or Alder>3.9 lokks like you want to play a 3-5-2 so I might also Ings> Barnes unless Vokes is going to start which is still down road. Then upgrade Giroud. IMO GL

  17. KeepCalm
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Is it wise to take a hit to bring in ADM or Silva for Downing

    Im benching downing and playing Hutton/Zaba anyways

    1. WipWapJaws
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldnt

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      prob not if you are benching him if you get Silva-AdM who sits then?

      1. KeepCalm
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Probably Hutton will sit. Zaba has more attack potential

  18. WipWapJaws
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Who is likely to cover Yaya while he's away?

    Sorry if this has already been covered

    1. KeepCalm
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Lampard will play more I reckon

  19. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Decent chance of Chambers starting against STO?

    Flamini, Ramsey and Ox are doubts so we are short in the double pivot.

    1. Shifty
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I swear I'm going to move away from a 3-5-2 when I use the WC...but thoughts on starting and bench order?

      Guzan
      Terry P.Jones Hutton
      Sanchez Hazard Silva Sigurdsson
      Costa Kane Austin

      Downing, Clyne, Wisdom

      Cheers folks.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        wisdom should be 1st sub...rest looks good..

      2. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Haha, sabotage!!

        Looks good - my only change would be your defender order. Wisdom has a plum fixture so I think I'd be starting him. SOT are the best team defensively in the league and Clyne offers a very good attacking threat. If fit I would probably start them both over P Jones and Hutton

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Oops. just realised SOT are away. In that case I think I'd start Wisdom and have P Jones as 1st defensive sub

        2. Shifty
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks! That's the price of a decent 15 I guess. Going to leave quite a few points on my bench this week 😎

    2. Shifty
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      ah feck sorry Jins.

    3. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      tough to say

    4. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      but the back 4 aren't inj

    The Last Stat 😯

  21. The Finnisher
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Am I missing something?

    Ings has A form in the watchlist, yet there are several strikers that have outscored him the last 6 GW's and he hasnt scored over 5 points once in his last 7 games.

    1. Shifty
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      probably fixtures tip it in his favour but for those with Austin already, i wouldn't pair him with Ings. Relying on QPR and Burnley for 2 striker spots is a disaster.

      1. Fitzy.
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Fixtures are future though, form is past.

        1. Shifty
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          which is what it puts him higher up the watchlist right? That's where I'm getting at. The watchlist takes into account potential as well as history.

          1. Fitzy.
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            "Ings has A form in the watchlist"

            Jack was talking about his form rating, not his actual position on the list.

      2. Birds of Prey
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        true that

  22. Shifty
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    I swear I'm going to move away from a 3-5-2 when I use the WC...but thoughts on starting and bench order?

    Guzan
    Terry P.Jones Hutton
    Sanchez Hazard Silva Sigurdsson
    Costa Kane Austin

    Downing, Clyne, Wisdom

  23. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Seems like everyone on here is convinced Di Maria will start.

    1. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      This is the only question I need answering before this GW starts. What do you think?

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I honestly don't know. He has plenty of time to get fit for next gameweek but who does LvG drop? Mata? He's been doing pretty well.

    2. Jay_
      11 years, 6 months ago

      RMT thinks he won't , I know people knock it but twice this season it has been right for me in big calls

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Why wouldn't he start? Is he still carrying a bit of an injury?

      2. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        LvG went on a nice run when Di Maria was injured. He's a great player but I think he'll ease him in.

  24. Patty
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Play Bertrand (mun) or PVA (LIV)

    1. Angin out the Begović
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Bertrand

  25. Angin out the Begović
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Gomis nailed on ?

    1. KeepCalm
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I actually heard he was leaving swansea...

  26. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    @ Shifty, what's the thinking behind starting Hutton over Wisdom?

      I thought WBA were playing away. I shall right that wrong and start Wisdom since I already have Guzan 😆 Not sure what to do with Clyne though

      is Davies nailed--nice at 4.4 but there is also Yedlin coming in and he played 15 mins

      what about a 4.2 like Cameron or PvA or 4.4 McNair

      who is 5th mid?

        sorry meant Smalling but maybe not nailed either.

    Just saw Gerrard scored a brace. Well done to the guy who had bet tenner at 17/2. Enjoy your ill-gotten wealth 😀
