    @Tony

    No, you spend the 20m on worse value, higher scoring players...The aim of the game is balance.

    1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      So we should all get Costa?

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I prefer this team...

        http://imgur.com/0t6I1pL

        To my teams with Costa in... That's all.

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Exactly.

      The high price picks that don't look like much value when presented as ppg in relation to £m spent.

      I just think that was used to demonstrate Costa as bad value but it showed your argument to be flawed as it showed the likes of Fabregas and Hazard to be also be bad value in relation to defenders.

      And as I pointed out Agüero.

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        But they are all higher than Costa ...

        Perhaps it is best to go on average PPG for your team then?

        Aguero, Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Fabregas all have higher PPG.

        Aguero is...Aguero.
        Austin is 0.1 lower than Costa - and therefore should definitely stay on a value basis,
        Kane is 0.6 lower, but since becoming nailed is 6.7 (higher than Aguero) and therefore should definitely stay.

        So that is why Costa goes...

        1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          yes

        2. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Up to you what method you want to use and players you want to pick.

          I'll go Costa personally.

        3. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          What has to be considered thou is the analysis of last data is just that.

          At one stage Costa was the better captain pick, and Hazard was dirt everyone wanted rid of, and Fabregas only assisted so was useless (not my opinion), then Hazard became the better captain pick, at one stage Terry was useless, then he scored 3 in 4 games.

          Its swings and roundabouts, past data is no guarantee of future performance and all that.

          Things change, this week Costa was the better captain for example. Between the two.

    Gary Rowett,

    How.

  3. Seb Wassell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Potential WC team (current team linked):

    Foster (Myhill)
    Bertrand Baird ? ? ?
    Sanchez Hazard Fabregas ADM (Boyd)
    Kane Aguero Ings

    18.1m to spend on three defensive spots. Baines/Chelsea/Arsenal/ManU/ManC?

    Thoughts folks?

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Terry Debuchy?

      1. Seb Wassell
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Arsenal is an interesting shout. Very tempted to hold onto Baines...

  4. Vasty Deep
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Best defender under 4.1?

    1. michudagawd
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      If he keeps his place, Baird.

    2. Sean
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      baird is a bargain

    3. Pepereina Pizza
      • 12 Years

      EVERYONE ONTO THE BAIRDWAGON

  5. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Wow. The scout picks had a really good gameweek so far

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Unlike last week. 🙁

  6. chocolove
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    At this rate, Costa has to score 15 goals more only to reach 200 FPL points
    Not saying that he will miss 2 games minimum for the suspension (7yc atm).

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Seems that they won't give him bonus points. It means his actual value to the team isn't reflected in BPFL.

      1. chocolove
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, i doubt he will hit 30 goals this season

  7. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Just to help my players rise,

    I'm not hitting the WC button until later in the week...

    A tactic I would like all WC'ers to use please 🙂

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I suggested this last week and was lambasted for it.

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Tactics Flynn, Tactics.

        I would like a FFS WC Bandwagon feature, a player we all bring in on a Sunday/Monday to rise his price, then we all sell him for a cheeky 0.1profit haha

        1. In Like Flynn.
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          FPL would suss it soon and stop it happening. But the wildcard, how to tell if people are just taking hits?
          Anyway not enough will do it to make much difference.

    2. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      me too, just dont forget to hit it befire deadline 😉

  8. ronmadpirlo

  13. BeachBadger
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Morning gents. How we all doing this week? Shocker for me so far. Didnt see much of the games last night. Whats the deal with Azpi? Ditch him on a WC?

    1. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Horrible. 35 from 9. Azpi injury didn't look nice, and yeah I'm ditching him on WC for Terry.

      1. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I didnt want to fork over the extra cash for Terry but looks like I'll have to 🙁

        1. Wouter
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          At least we won't have to worry about rotation anymore! Hopefully..

          1. BeachBadger
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Maybe ... lol

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Slight groin issue. Not sure of prognosis yet

      1. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        CHeers

    3. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Bad and bad. Thinking about Luis but the propaganda from Mou & co has already started. Doubt we'll know the extent of the injury.

      1. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I may get him too but I dont want to be in a situation with non nailed players post WC lol

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I'm hoping that Zouma will be the value pick we'll all be switching to anyway in that case. Wishful thinking I know.

          Boy we really fecked ourselves and Huttinho over didn't we.

          1. BeachBadger
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Always on the cards that haha Still my highest scoring defender this week lol

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I am. My cheap defence was much better than the City/Chelsea version

      1. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah. May end up keeping Costa 😯

  14. Zasa
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Can someone convince me not to do these moves?
    (2 FT's, 0.8m ITB)
    Jovetic & Sterling ===> Kane + AdM

    Will have no City players & double United until the WC

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Not bad moves at all. Have you got Aguerro?

      1. Zasa
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Sadly no mate

  15. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Cahill ?...Is he a dead duck or just on the naughty step for a week ?

  16. Franktomet
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    A: Bertrand + Silva
    B: 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

  17. Bojan ye gud ting
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Will Aguero rise tonight?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Probably. It says tomorrow but they are inaccurate a lot of the time.

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Sturridge is probably back in two weeks. Who's getting him? Is he really worth 11.1M?

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nowhere near 11.1 mill...

      1. Pepereina Pizza
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        .... so far

      2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I wonder what the FPL-gods were smoking when they put his starting price on 11.5M.

        1. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Didn't take into account no Suarez

          1. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            this ^...He'll be no better than Kane or Austin.

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      He comes back just as their fixtures take a huge turn for the worse. I'd wait to see how well everyone fits in and performs.

    3. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'll believe it when I see it.

  19. Sid07
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Wil boyd rise tonight

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No

  20. Clam. ☘️
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Giroud a good option for WC?

    1. Jacques The Lad
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Fixtures look good, the issue is whether there is any room for him alongside the premiums and the form value picks

    2. Pepereina Pizza
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I think he's a fantastic differential, but I can't see having him over Kane/Austin (assuming Aguero)

  21. Jacques The Lad
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone fancy a hammers clean sheet this week?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. Jelavic injured etc... Hull look to be falling

    2. Jacques The Lad
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Might bring in Cresswell for Zab then reassess for the WC

  22. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Not sure about bringing in Aguero right away. Next two are ARS che

    Who is else is considering NOT bringing him in until after those fixtures.

    Prefer RVP/Falcao for qpr LEI ?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      but then you miss the price rises....united are dodgy you never know which one is turning up. More often than not it's the shite one

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah the Arsenal defence is so good this season

      1. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Aguero fixture proof, only concern would be Pellegrini treating him cautiously. I'd love to get him in just not taking a hit and wanna wc late as poss

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I am considering not also... Was thinking Rooney for 2 matches. Can get him at £12.9 at worst.

    4. Pepereina Pizza
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      flip a coin, really.

    5. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      GW24 for me. If he hasn't injured himself again in the meantime.

    6. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      really hoping a united forward steps up. those fixtures are amazing

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

      Fixtures are unimportant when it comes to Kun.

  23. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Calm your tits Aguero not rising tonight.

    1. Norco

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      What will you do if he does?

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Something illegal.

  24. Tmel
    • 15 Years

    % of Kun or ADM rising tonight?

    1. Coaly
      • 13 Years

      65 50

  25. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years

    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    The only games Austin has scored more than one goal or assist are Villa, Burnley, Leicester, Wbrom at home. Two difficult home games and three away in the next five. I know he's scored well overall, but still..

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'll take a goal per game

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Simply put he is no match for Aguerro.

    3. ronmadpirlo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Highest scoring striker in FPL

    4. Pepereina Pizza
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      go on, op, finish the sentence...

  27. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero doesn't understand fixture difficulty.

    If I recall correctly, the early birds caught the worm when Aguero put 4 past Tottenham.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      yep, i'd say he is fixture proof

      just needs his fitness up and running

  28. Ralphie Cifaretto
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Berahino over Austin?

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years

      Haha

  29. Royal5

    How many pens has Austin scored this season?

  30. Atters
    • 11 Years

    Austin --> Aguero tonight?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Might as well.
