    Should I hold on to my wildcard another week if my team is

    Guzan
    Zab Terry Wisdom
    Hazard Sanchez Sterling Di Maria
    Aguero Kane Austin

    Downing Hutton Yun!?

      you own Aguero and Adm and you are benching Downing vs Hull 🙂 .. you can defo wait a week

    2. Venom Snake

      You know you should

      1. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks it's my defence that's the issue really!

        1. jbenny1107
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Wisdom and Terry just had shutouts today. Definitely hold. If anything transfer out Zabaleta for someone.

  2. Razz1983

    Who's rising tonight guys? Price rising that is

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Nobody knows, but not many

    2. jbenny1107
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero
      Hamer
      Kane

  3. Meganuts

    Did I miss something? When exactly did Milli Vanilli sign for Swansea?

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Hahaha Nice.

  4. Super PVA - Small Spuds
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero rising tonight?

    1. jbenny1107
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

  5. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Wait Richard Dunne got into an argument with the QPR fans

    Silly Dunne. These fans have shelled out bagfuls of money this season to watch their team lose all 10 away from home

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      When QPR came to Burton Albion, we had a good chat to Hill about how sh*t they were.

      Was quite insightful.

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I reckon the 'ultras' who have been to all 10 away games have spent £700 to see absolute dross.

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        They chose to be QPR fans thou.

    3. HP.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      it was clint hill

  6. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    I can't see myself ever giving the armband to Costa. Why do I find it so hard to let him go

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      One of the reasons i'm gonna get rid in two weeks.. Cant really captain him over Hazard so it's a premium captaincy spot wasted

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        If I sell, I won't be able to buy him back without losing a bit hitter in midfield. Very reluctant to do so.

      2. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I don't have Costa and captained Hazard today

        rivals captained Costa

        Lost out in a big way

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Because he is able to score hattricks. But if you look at the fixtures there are no braces for a long while

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      A wild guess here. Is it because he's scored most goals?

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        But has less points than 2 other attacking options at Chelsea 😉

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          And = or worse PPG than the other 2 options...

      2. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Point is I'm selling Austin, who is leading the scoring for forwards and keeping costa who is double the price

    4. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I have to choose between Rooney and Costa to take out this week

    5. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      He was the better captain choice between the two this week.

  7. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Jan WC prototype:

    Panti - Green
    Ivanovic - Hutton - Wisdom - O´Shea - Bertrand
    Sánchez - Chadli - ADM - Boyd - Hazard
    Aguero - Ings - Kane

    Thoughts??

  8. Zasa
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Re-post, no replies 🙁

    Panti
    Baines Terry Dummett
    Hazard Alexis Sterling Siggy
    RvP Jovetic Austin

    (Fabi, Marney, Duff, Wisdom)

    Thoughts on these move gents? Any insight appreciated folks 😉
    Considering a short term United double up for (lei,QPR)
    Not sure if shoehorning Aguero in is off the essence yet, fancy United's short term fixtures more, though ut might hurt going with no City these next 2 GW'S

    (2 FT's, 0.8m ITB)
    A) Jovetic + Sterling ----> Kane + AdM
    B) Jovetic + RvP ---------> Kane + Aguero
    C) Other ideas guys?

    1. Jay_
      11 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      a

    3. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      That's actually quite tough. Probably B for me because I would be wary of Aguero hitting the ground running

      1. Reedy
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Can see why you might want to prioritise A though

      2. Zasa
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Interesting Reedy, Aguero definitely is threatening though. Just not too sure if he'll put any of Arsenal or Chelsea to the sword coming off injury.

        Just see more goals in the United games & can see AdM & RvP scavenging goals for fun
        Will ponder on this for sure.
        Jovetic out is a give-in though it seems

    4. Zasa
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Resounding A vote, cheers guys
      Will check out AdM tomorrow & deal with Sterling swiftly

  9. Tronity
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    WC'ing to

    Foster/Hamer
    Terry, Clichy, Alderweireld, Wasil, O'Shea
    Silva, Haz, ADM, Sanchez Boyd
    Aguero, Kane, Austin

    Anything majorly wrong?

    1. In Bale We Trust
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good

      1. Tronity
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks!

  10. In Bale We Trust
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Alderweireld and Terry, or Azpi and Bertrand?

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      If Azpi fit, the latter.

    2. Zasa
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      The former for sure

  11. Fiona B
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else considering holding onto Austin Kane and Costa? Just can't let them go or justify it. Real tough one to ponder.

    1. In Bale We Trust
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      But Aguero.

      1. Fiona B
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I know, i know. If i lose anyone of those three i wont be able to buy back when aguero gets injured again.

    2. Franktomet
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I just traded Aguero for Costa.

    3. jbenny1107
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Austin on penalties. Drop Costa for Aguero. Keep Austin and Kane. Getting plenty of goals for their price.

      1. eljinj
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        If u can costa to aguero then if aguero gets injured get costa back, his price is higher.

    4. Cousin Greg
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Keeping all three, at least for tonight.

    5. Fiona B
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      You guys make good points just feels like sparta levels of madness to take out Costa the leading goal scorer or austin, who has the most points

      1. jbenny1107
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        No BAP's for Costa. Tired of it. Gonna double up on Chelsea D instead.

  12. Franktomet
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Should I trade Bertrand + Silva for Fab and Alderweireld?

    This is my team ATM, WC active:

    Pantilimon / Foster

    Terry / Clichy / Bertrand / Clyne / Wisdom

    Sanchez / Hazard / Di Maria / Silva / Boyd

    Aguero / Austin / Kane

    1. Cousin Greg
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      too much money in defence. downgrade clichy to one of cheapies.

  13. Le Limpar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Pre-WC 1 week punt for -4

    Zabs + Siggy >> Baines + Chadli

    ?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Baines?!

      1. Le Limpar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Home to West Brom... One last hurrah?!

  14. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    there is no MNF, could really do with Kun not rising tonight

  15. Jump in Micah
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    My Falcao captaincy might just pay off 🙂

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      It was always a good bet. Falcao is still one of the top 5 forwards in world football

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Haha

      2. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        🙂 Just because he got injured doesn't mean he turned crap. It's not his fault he gets 2 shots per game

  16. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Surprised so many going Costa over Fabregas in wildcards?

    Costa is consistent but never gets more than 6 points, is Fabs not better value?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I think fabs will play in the hole a few more times. Mourinho seems to like it in away games. That's why I'm going for fabregas

  17. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Panti Hamer
    Terry Wisdom X X X
    Hazard ADM Sanchez Siggy Boyd
    Costa Kun Kane

    This WC would leave me 12.3 to spend on three defenders. Should I do it and scrimp at the back or ditch Costa and spread the cash?

    1. jbenny1107
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Drop Costa and spread the cash.

  18. TheSteel

    Been away for a week on holiday with 2FT. Anything that stands out?
    Guzan
    Baines zaba hutton

    Austin Costa Rooney

    Gilks Vergini Clyne Boyd

    Im thinking of bringing wisdom and kane in.

      It's time to dump Villa D

      1. OneTwo
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        And Zab for that matter

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I REFUSE to ever buy Tarrabt

  19. Le Limpar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    People aren't really wildcarding solely for a few 0.1s on Aguero are they?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      yes they are

      1. Le Limpar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        That doesn't seem that cool to me.

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      not hitting the button, saved 2 FTs for the purpose

      Think I'll wait till tomorrow anyway

    3. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Most have other fires to put out as well surely.

      1. Le Limpar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Well of course that's fair enough. If you gotta go you gotta go. But wouldn't rush it just because of a price rise. Always ways of getting him in.

    4. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      You make it sound pathetic, but I have two 3.9 defenders in my team to afford the rest. Rises will kill me.

      1. Le Limpar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        3.9 defenders make the world go round

    5. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      They are.

    6. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Wildcard snobbery.

  20. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Crap. I'm doing nothing tonight. If he rises he rises, annoying as it would be.

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yep why worry, it only .1. There still games to be played yet. If falcao scored a hattrick would you still want aguero next week?

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe. I really wish Bony weren't at ACON right now. That would make it a lot easier. As it stands I feel like I'm left with my pants down with no City.

        1. Twelve years a slave
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          I dont know why everyone buying aguero with ars and chelsea up. But the idiots will force me to buy him because he rising

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            I was really hoping to hold off as well. Looks like he's set for liftoff. Really annoying.

          2. Rhinos
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            I'd say arse at home is a prime fixture for kun

            1. Not Irish
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 7 months ago

              Agreed.

              1. Rhinos
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 7 months ago

                In gonna wait though. Will just have to skimp somewhere to get kun. The advantages of waiting outweigh triggering wc, I hope 🙂

            2. Zasa
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 7 months ago

              I think we have to be realistic about top 4 defenses mate.
              They will all tighten up in the latter half of the season, these will not be cakewalks mate

      2. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        It's not .1 though is it, it's the .2 he'll rise this week plus other falls and rises in your current and future team

  21. keotes
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Going to ship Zabaleta out this GW. Which mid-premium defenders are worth considering?

    1. Le Limpar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I'm considering a 1 week ticket back to Bainesville. Surely Martinez will be targeting that fixture as a win and push the boat out a bit.

  22. Total Foot 5

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

        I probably would

      tomorrow if he scores or assists

  23. Venom Snake

    If azpi is fit should I just keep on WC?

  24. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

    A) Clyne and Van aanholt

    B) alderwield and Moreno

      A, no doubt.

    4. Zasa
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      A, so easy. So easy.

  25. Bastien
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Is Baird looking like a viable option for WBA defense?
    I'm considering him as my 5th def, maybe even tripling up with Foster and Wisdom.
    Not necessarily playing all 3, but for 3.9 Baird would definitely be great value if he makes LB position his.

    Thoughts?

    1. Flycroft
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      give it a week if you can. if you're wcing, he is worth a punt at that price

      1. jdogg
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        This.x

      2. Bastien
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        didn't plan to WC, but aguero back means I have to bring him in.
        That means either taking a hit or shipping Costa out.
        As none of the options look appealing to me, seriously considering WCing this week.

      3. Nickofoz
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Agreed. I'm on WC and I'm going to take a punt of him (instead of Wisdom) so I can afford the Heaton/Panti rotation

      Fab and Haz in mid will be in my WC, dropping Costa.

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

        PPG Costa = Fabregas.

        Fabregas cheaper, therefore, wins.

      Terry gets 0.74 ppg, eh?

        Read it again.

        PPG per £ spent:

        It's effectively value based on PPG rather than total score.

        1. Captain Shirokov
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Well, he's gotten me about 40 points the last 4 gws, I'll take that.

      2. Bastien

        per million

      3. Cousin Greg

        11 years, 7 months ago

        Just because of those 3 games. But if numbers to go by Capitano has got his quota of goals for this season.

    4. Hibbo

      Going by that we should own three Chelsea defenders and not Hazard, Fabregas or Costa.

      1. Cousin Greg
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        +1

      2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Value, yes.

        But it's not all about value, we pay a premium for more points - just the ratio isn't so great. If you get me?

          Defenders always have better value due to their price.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          I get the maths but I think the view is flawed.

          None of the big hitters represent much value in relation to ppg because of their huge price.

          What's the alternative? Big hitting defences with Austin, Ingss, Kane up front, Chadli Downing Siggy etc in midfield and 20m in the bank?

      Terry Ivan and Oscar on Wc

    6. Hibbo

      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Going by this flawed viewpoint Agüero ranks at 0.54 BTW.

      We shouldn't own him either?

      I played my wildcard last night and got rid of Costa. Was cursing my luck when he scored but he finished on six points and Terry who I was going to go without finished on seven.

      Lack of assists and bonus points makes Costa worthless to me. 5 or 6 points every week is ok but Kane and Austin can match that at half the price.

      Price per dollar is pretty useless.

        My original post is pretty useless 😀
