    So are most people doing Yaya to ADM? Seems like the best option to me with Sterling about the same potential

    1. Tex
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I went Sterling. I'm no longer sure it was the right move.

      I'll probably go Sigurdsson to Di Maria next week though if he doesn't get injured.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 9 months ago

        I think it is quite close. ADM maybe a little more of a gamble but with potentially a bigger points capability

        1. Tex
          11 years, 9 months ago

          I went Sterling just in case he finds the scoring touch. Ideally Di Maria doesn't do much and Sterling gets some points though.

    2. Captain Shirokov
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Fabregas.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Well I have 3 Chelsea already so personally I cannot do this. I may have him in my wildcard though

        1. Captain Shirokov
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Between Fab and ADM to get in for Yaya this week for me. Leaning towards Cesc.

  2. Zasa
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Curious, would anyone be interested in more 3-way defensive rotations?
    Have some great 3-way rotation down on paper with Villa, West Brom, Sunderland, Stoke, Newcastle, Palace, Swansea, West Ham all included. It's my day off, feel I should do something constructive 😉

    & no it doesn't have Burnley 😉

    1. The Nuttmxn

      I would love to know all about your three ways.

      1. Zasa
        11 years, 9 months ago

        I see, when then looks like I'll have to give you the toure de France & teach all about the ménage à trois

        1. Twelve years a slave
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Instead of Burnley Stoke do a better job with Villa and Sunderland at least they are a better team, and should any of your defenders dont play i would much rather have a stoke defender than a burnley one off the bench

          1. Zasa
            11 years, 9 months ago

            That's a great point Trigger, I've been hovering around Cameron & Pieters also.
            Cheers, Burnley's shots conceded both in & outside the box are atrocious .

            Will look into this for sure

  3. flippetyflop
    11 years, 9 months ago

    I've read a lot of literature saying that it's best to wait until Aguero is back to do your wildcard.........why not just have a Man United placeholder Rooney/RVP for the QPR and Leicester games and then bring Aguero back in for Hull at home?

    1. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      that's a legitimate option - there are also other reasons to hold off the wc though. injuries, transfers, etc.

    2. Hubert
      11 years, 9 months ago

      That's what I'm doing

  4. Patty
    11 years, 9 months ago

    How many clean sheets do you reckon Leicester could get from, STK, AVL and CRY

    1. Timtastic03
      11 years, 9 months ago

      none

      1. rdpx
        11 years, 9 months ago

        "TIMTASTIC03 Fantasy Football Scout Member
        none"

        Not up to his usual standard, but still short and to the point with no extraneous detail. Three stars.

      1.

    4. Tex
      11 years, 9 months ago

      They could get 3 but probably won't. Aston Villa and Palace would be best chances probably at a clean sheet. But they've been leaky all season so I'll say they get 1 clean sheet from those.

    5. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      1

    6. Nickofoz
      11 years, 9 months ago

      1 against Villa

    7. In Like Flynn.

      2

  5. Captain Shirokov
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Now with Messi in the mix, who are going to be your other two Chelsea players?

    1. So Klose
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Luis & Matic

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Ronaldo & Hazard

      1. Captain Shirokov
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Come off it, Ronaldo's not going to Chelsea.

        1. jaguar shark
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 9 months ago

          i think that's the point 😉

    3. Patty
      11 years, 9 months ago

      might only have 1 other, money will be tight

    4. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Flying Pig and Jesus Christ.

      No player plays every game in this day and age anyway, in saying something Van Gaal tells us nothing.

    2. Wouter
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Hope he stays in the team for the next 3 GW's. Then he's out of my team.

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      11 years, 9 months ago

      The way I read that was Wilson is going to get every chance to prove himself and Falcao and Van Persie's game time will be affected

    1. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      must be fake - thats terrible

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Looks pretty standard and boring, not liked one since the V on the chest one.

    3. Captain Shirokov

      State of it

    so, how many comments does FFS get each week? seems like a LOT.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Add the numbers on the home page. Lots is the answer.

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Thousands upon thousands.

  8. jaredwilliams
    11 years, 9 months ago

    a) Austin + Eriksen/Sterling

    b) Giroud + Chadli

    1. Tex
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I'd go A

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      A and Eriksen.

    3. bammer
      11 years, 9 months ago

      A

        So when I click the reply button it sends me down to the bottom of the page, and I can't see the number of upvotes any posts have either... Any idea why TM/mods? On Safari on an ipad fwiw, first time I've had this problem.

        @Zasa I'm good thanks, just got back to the hotel after doing a tour of LA!
        @GK Happy new year to you too mate 🙂

      Happy New Year Innsie. Did Boyd give you a new year present?

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Sadly not 🙁 HNY Diva.

        1. Diva
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Neither did I. Don't mind too much, if I had started him I probably would have benched Kane rather than any of the attackers who subsequently scored 2 points. 🙂 Enjoy your West Coast visit!

  10. Gustavospeaks
    11 years, 9 months ago

    My midfield is set except one, so now I will ask here and hope for some (improbable?) constructive feedback:
    - Sigurdsson
    - Downing
    - Henderson (lacking money for Sterling or Coutinho)
    - Cadli (lacking money for Eriksen)
    - or another?
    (my price limit here is 7.3)

    1. bammer
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Downing

    2. jaredwilliams
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Chadli or Sig

    3. Jay_
      11 years, 9 months ago

      If you have Kane , Siggy , his fixtures turn great in February and everyone who wildcards late will have him and it will hurt you not owning him

    4. Nickofoz
      11 years, 9 months ago

      For the next few weeks Downing, then switch to Siggy as the Hammers' fixtures turn terrible.

    5. Tex
      11 years, 9 months ago

      You're looking for a mid up to 7.3 from Sigurdsson, Downing, Henderson, Chadli or another , is that right?

      Personally I'd go Sigurdsson from these.

      1. Gustavospeaks
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Most been saying Sigurdsson as well. He does seem the best choice through the entire season in this price, even compared to all he is one of the best choices. What made me unsure was Swansea's next fixtures plus the fact that they have Bony + Ki away with their countries.

  11. bammer
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Start baines trippier or downing?

    1. Walsh
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Downing

      1. bammer
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. Then the tough part. Baines or trippier in defense?

        1. Walsh
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Trippier 😉

          1. bammer
            11 years, 9 months ago

            That's what I'm leaning towards. But how do you bench a 7.0 defender!? Baines will probably have a goal and assist ha!

            1. Walsh
              11 years, 9 months ago

              I know it's tough to take price out of the equation completely when looking at who to start or sit but in reality you just need to do your best to pick who you think will get most points. It's not always the most expensive player.

  12. Jay_
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Kane Williamson is fast becoming one of the premier, if not THE premier batsmen in world cricket , brilliant talent

    1. Goodnight Kiwi
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Amen

    2. TorresMagic™

        Krul doesn't rotate well with heaton , no good news here

    I presume a lot of people will be having Aguero/Kane in their WC teams. Who seems to be the best pick for the 3rd striker position?

    1. bammer
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I'm going to have a hard time letting go of Austin

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      RVP/Falcao depending on funds

  16. Del Monte

    Risers: None

    Fallers: Krul Ramsey Eto'o Kranjcar

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      thanks, suprised no risers this week but as stated must be loads of wc transfers

      1. Twelve years a slave

        Krul that is good news

        1. FPL Daniel
          11 years, 9 months ago

          u plan to get him before Panti and Foster?

      FFFix & FPS had Krul, Rambo, Cisse, & Wanyama falling

    3. fedolefan
      11 years, 9 months ago

      How on earth are Eto'o and Kranjcar falling in price. I can't believe there are any active players that own them.

  17. bammer
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Krul becomes interesting...

    1. Tex
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Im definitely wanting him when fit. I'd be even happier if he misses out this week and falls another 0.1m. Unlikely though as he took forever to fall to 4.4

    2. jaredwilliams
      11 years, 9 months ago

      It's either Krul or Foster to pair with Pantillimon for me. Depends on how Pullis gets WBA playing.

    3. Walsh
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Indeed.

    Would appreciate if you check out the team and vote (if you like it)

    cheers 😀

  19. jgjokaj
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Wildcard team

    guzan (heaton)
    Terry Bertrand Wisdom Hutton (wasi)
    Sanchez Hazard Silva Eriksen (boyd)
    Costa Kane Austin

    Will be going Silva Costa > sterling Kun when available
    Any thoughts

    1. Tex
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Solid team. Any plans to get Di Maria in? Personally I'm obsessed with getting him.

      1. Merteswagger
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Looks good, Kane and Eriksen though? Get sterling instead then swap silva to adm so youve got coverage from all the top teams (once di maria if fully fit ofc, conveniently when aguero is back it seems)

      2. jgjokaj
        11 years, 9 months ago

        yes thinking of going
        Sanchez silva Austin > ADM Kun Downing once Kun is baack

        1. jgjokaj
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Does ADM play this week I was going to wait an extra week before I bring him in. I was think Chadli instead of Eriksen I like the way they are playing and ws even thinking Kane > Berahino

  20. FPL Daniel
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on Cazorla as one week punt?

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Like it I'm thinking Yaya to Santi then to adm the next week

    2. Timtastic03
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Who would he replace?

      1. FPL Daniel
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Yoyo of course, who else

        1. Timtastic03
          11 years, 9 months ago

          No 5th mid? Do it! I got Giroud for Bony. Going to bench Sterling/Silva to play him

  21. flippetyflop
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Best aguero placeholder, Rooney, RVP or Falcao??

    1. Tex
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I'd go RvP but heard he's due to drop soon.

      1. Merteswagger
        11 years, 9 months ago

        currently got RVP and had for a few weeks now, utds points are so spread can be very frustrating

  22. bigbudgie
    11 years, 9 months ago

    what do you reckon for this non-wildcarded team for this GW, feel almost obessive now that I have TWO in my pocket

    Guzan
    Wisdom Azpi Hutton
    Siggy Silva Hazard Sanchez
    Kane Austin Costa

    (Boyd Taylor Tomkins)

    I really want to play Boydinho here to be honest but can't justify dropping anyone from the front 7

    Also, Villa double defence worked last week, think they can keep another cleanie (lei) or should I swap out Hutton for Taylor (WHU)

    1. bigbudgie
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Hazard (c) BTW

    2. Walsh
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I would keep lineup as is.

    3. Tex
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I'm playing Taylor as I have doubts Villa can keep the clean sheets coming. West Ham have lost 3 key players to Africa Cup of Nations. Reckon both Swansea and Villa concede though.

      1. bigbudgie
        11 years, 9 months ago

        yeah. in that case I would probably choose to keep Hutton on and pray for attacking points.

        Having benched Kane last week that Villa double d saved my GW!

          It's probably wise choice. I'm going with home team rather than worst opposition. It could well backfire.

    Everything I post is being reviewed? Any idea why? :S

        Out of context this seems like a family inane contribution to the page, but it needs to be taken as a continuation of the theme raised in the prequel. Alone it falls flat, but as part of the concert it is a worthy adagio to the main work. THREE STARS.

      Swear words? That's why mine get "reviewed".

        Nope :S, tried to ask trigger about his post a couple times and the my reply to Daniel saying I got Giroud. Didn't call him a donkey or anything 😀

          *****
          The genius of the hanging "donkey", which leaves the reader unsure as to whether this refers to Triggerlips or Olivier Giroud. is simply sublime. Clearly this is Timtastic03 firing on all cylinders and certainly can be argued to be his greatest contribution so far to the comments on this page RECOMMENDED. FIVE STARS.

            I thought he meant Daniel. 😉

      Well if you must, I'd probably give this post a 1 out of 5 stars review.

      This was a great post by TIMTASTIC03, with just enough mystery and suspense to keep us interested right to the end of the thread. I won't give any spoilers, but TM's addition at the end really raises the stakes here and leaves the viewer begging for more, and not a RATE MY TEAM for miles. Refreshing stuff. Four stars.

          This is a rather poor and somewhat imitative post from Timtastic03's weak Late Emoji Period. Many people feel that he owes all his ideas here to INNSIE, and I for one agree. Not up to the high standard of his mid-career posts (see reviews passim)
          POOR. ONE STAR.

    Is Falcao a good punt?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I think he is decent punt but united's goals are so spreadout. I think he is still to hit anything like top form, perhaps it may take another month or two for that to happen

      good fixtures though

    How's this for a dead team (cup opponent) that achieved a GW rank of top 5K GW16, 1 transfer all season. This would embarrassing

    De Gea
    Fonte Wisdom Williams
    Hazard Mata Carzola Silva
    Rooney Jovetic Naismith

    gulp!

      You could be in trouble.

    2. Tex

      A squad like that will probably win the Cup.

    Who here is still in the FPL Cup?

    1. Merteswagger
      11 years, 9 months ago

      ME! just about staved off the dead teams

    2. bigbudgie
      11 years, 9 months ago

      yes just, by 1 point last week having trounced the first two
      could be in trouble this week (see above)

    3. President John F. Keninnsie

      o/

      Won on goals scored two weeks ago, and by 1 point last week 😆

      I now see what a difference TV makes at this stage...some of the WC teams I see don't seem possible and I know I couldn't afford!
