    Which option?

    Pantilimon / Krul
    Terry / Alderweireld / Hutton / Wisdom or 4.2 / 3.9
    Sanchez / Hazard / Di Maria / Chadli / Boyd
    Aguero / Costa / Kane

    A) Wisdom and Baird
    B) Wisdom and Wasilewski
    C) PVA and Baird
    D) Cameron and Baird

      Is Baird nailed?

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

        Not nailed but looks to be the favored choice at LB.

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

        For the moment anyway. Pulis may have plans to bring in a better defender in the window though.

    Foster, Myhill
    Terry, Toby, Naylor, PvA, Hutton
    Hazard, Sanchez, Di Maria, Fabregas, Boyd
    Aguero, Kane, Austin

    2.1m left to spend on my WC. Any ideas? It's quite nice having unlimited transfers..... 🙂

    What do ye think of these Pre WC moves,

    2 Ft's, 3.0 in account.. 2 WC's if that is any help.

    1. Aguero/Boyd in for Austin/Sterling..
    2. Aguero-Costa and 1 more FT (Maybe change Cahill or Zaba to Baines or some Price Riser)
    3. Something else

    Thinking of Option 2, with Baines in.

    Guzan, Gilks
    Zabaleta, Cahill, Wisdom, Naylor, Clyne
    Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy, Sterling, Downing
    Austin (6.1), Costa (11.1), Kane

  4. Puyol Pants Up

    11 years, 7 months ago

    RP

    Who would you rather downgrade? Need 0.1 for ADM

    A) Hutton: (Cameron, Bruce, Wasil are some options)
    B) Boyd: (Marney, 4.5s etc)
    C) Wisdom: (Will only downgrade to Baird, is he nailed?)

    1. Jay_
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Hutton, to Cameron(see how he goes tomorrow)

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        This.

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

      Wisdom if Baird is nailed

  5. Sparrer
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Baird. How did he look today? Where did he play? Do we think he's nailed based on what we know of Pulis teams?

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      He is a tempter isn't he. If the transfer window had not been open I would say yes. I think I will risk it on the WC myself

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

        Very torn indeed 🙁

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          What is the worst that could happen. Just do not rely on him

  6. Jay_
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Him : Bertrand Chambers ( A.Valencia only sub) + 9 points

    Me : DDG Debuchy ADM RVP

    Who would your money be on ?

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

      you

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      You

    3. Phaze 1
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      You could just wait a few hours to find out.

  7. flippetyflop
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Who do I play next weekend Pantilimon +Van Aanholt (spurs away) or Wisdom + Foster (everton away)

    I think West Brom have more chance of keeping a clean sheet but Van Aanholt has more chance of attacking returns.

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I'd go with Wisdom + Foster I think.

    2. Jay_
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Foster and PVA

    3. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      The Wiz and Foster

  8. davies

    Can you only pay for memberships with PayPal? 😕

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      There's another method in the article.

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

        What's Stripe, TM?

    2. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      There is. But you got to pay attention in class.

      1. davies
        • 12 Years

        😳

  9. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Since everyone is doing this. Who will win?

    Me: Sanchez + 39 points
    Opponent: Giroud + ShawX

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Lol should be a nailbiter 🙂

      1. Man Chest Hair United

        Geeze how many points you in this gw? That's a pasting

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Lets just say it was a good GW 😀

  10. Acquafresca
    • 15 Years

    Gosh I hate the Seahawks.

    But Carolina are awful.

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

    Other than Sanchez, any high ownership players left in top 10k?

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Rooney must have a decent amount and Clyne or bert

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

        Rooney 😯 Hopefully he score 2pts, nothing more than that...

    2. Phaze 1
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Rooney, Sot defense and maybe RVP?

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

        Many would have benched Saints?

    3. Kroos Kontrol
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      No.

  12. Man Chest Hair United
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Hey guys asked earlier but no luck. Very template but is this ok for WC

    Pants ( Manone)

    Terry Bertrand Toby wisdom Hutton

    Hazard Sanchez Di Maria chadli boyd

    Aguero Costa kane.

    Any changes needed?

    Appreciate any feedback

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

      Yeah but I'm not not a fan of Costa

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Could go with fab over chaddli and out in Austin again

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

          Thats what I have. I don't really undestand why more players don't go that route.

  13. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Noble scored an OG and got a BP!?

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

      #legend

    2. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      And Costa scored and didn't get one

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

    On a wildcard and can't sleep.

    Pick one combo for points over rest of season

    A. Ivan + Austin
    B. Ivan + Giroud
    C. Terry + Austin

    Thanks

      C

  15. Cristi@no R7
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Clichy to trippier & Austin to Aguero & get back Austin in WC?

    1. Cristi@no R7
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      for a hit

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

        Not a fan of that move.

        1. Cristi@no R7
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Thanks.

          1. Shatner's Bassoon
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            test

  16. davies
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Membership worth it at this stage of the season?

    1. Kroos Kontrol
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      It's always worth it if it helps. Just check the vimeo video by Mark to see if you like it.

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

      Think it is if you know how to use those stats 😛

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

        Meaning what?

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

          If we dont know how to use those stats/numbers, its waste imo

  17. Kroos Kontrol
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Adm Panti Kun already rose? Wut?

    Wow, I might have to WC purely to make sure I get my team.

    So much for "Aguero's price is frozen".

  18. michudagawd
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Quite happy with this WC team so far.

    Foster Myhill
    Terry Clyne PvA Hutton Baird
    Sanchez Hazard ADM Downing Boyd
    Aguero Costa Kane

    0.6 itb

    Any weaknesses I should be aware of?

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Looks very solid imo

    2. Kroos Kontrol
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I don't like the fact you have to play one of Downing/Boyd every week. Downing has awful fixtures coming up and you can't rely on Boyd.

      1. Kroos Kontrol
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Apart from that it's pretty solid.

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

        Had a look there at Downing's fixts. Yeah they're pretty bad alright but he has been very consistent this season and is a vital part of the Hammers attack. I think he's the best option at his price range and I'd be happy to play him in his next few anyway. Can reassess after Liv away. Cheers for input.

    3. Sparrer
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Baird - is he nailed? No idea.

      Chadli over Downing, maybe?

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

        Wouldn't like a Spurs double up.

        1. Man Chest Hair United
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Has worked out well the last 2 gws

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

            Yup it has but I still wouldn't be comfortable having 2 Spurs attack. I think they're too unpredictable and Kane on his own is enough for me.

  19. FPLEL
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    If I use my FT this week, then decide to WC, I get the FT back, right?

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

      Only 1 FT after WC.

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers man.

    2. Kroos Kontrol
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      If you use your WC, you have 1 FT the next week. If you have 2 FTs or 1 FT this week and you WC, you will have 1 FT the next week.

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Ooh, I didn't know about the two FT thing, thanks mate.

  20. Cristi@no R7
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Clichy to trippier & Austin to Aguero for a hit & get back Austin in WC?

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Why not WC nw

      1. Cristi@no R7
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Will use WC after next week. Long gap & Transfers.

        1. Man Chest Hair United
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Just wat for Aguero till WC then n need to take a hit

          1. Cristi@no R7
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            will try that. Thanks.

  21. Sparrer
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Peeved ADM rose today as well as Aguero. That's cost me a bad choice.

    A) Terry and Cameron
    B) Cahill and Hutton

    Which do you fancy?

    Chur!

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

      Or C) Terry and Hutton, but with Baird instead of Wisdom (who may not be nailed either. Gah!)

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        A

    2. Jay_
      11 years, 7 months ago

      A 100 % Although switch Cameron to PVA if you don't already have him

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

      A

    4. Sparrer
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers gents.

      Follow up question. To go with Terry and PVA:

      1) Hutton, Baird, Clyne
      2) Cameron, Wisdom, Alderweireld

      Ta!

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

        1 is my plan atm to go with JT and PvA.

  22. Sparrer
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Separate query. Costa or Aguero on my WC?

    1. Kroos Kontrol
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero deffo.

      The question is Costa or Austin.

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

        Yes, sorry - that's the question I meant to ask. Damn G&T!

        1. Man Chest Hair United
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          That's a tough one I went for Costa but still feel sad to sell Austin he has been great

        2. Kroos Kontrol
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 7 months ago

          It's a matter of personal preference. There's no definite answer yet. There might be after today.

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

            What happens today?

            1. Kroos Kontrol
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 7 months ago

              Sorry for the late response, was away.

              If Walcott/Ramsey/Ozil (whoever plays) and Di Maria score, a compelling argument to stiffen up your MFs comes in place and as such Costa might not have any place left (considering Austin and Kane are prolific scorers as well).

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero or both

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Both

    3. Sparrer
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Let's try that again, sorry.

      Costa or Austin on my WC?

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Depends on what the cash can do for you elsewhere? I went Costa as eventually I hope that sturidge gets fit and firing and it's an easy swap

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

          Not a huge amount. Austin means I can get Lescott in instead of Wisdom/Baird and maybe Sterling or Fab instead of Chadli.

          1. Man Chest Hair United
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 7 months ago

            yeah i had the same dilema and went costa kun kane

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

    Terry and Alderweireld or Bertrand and Azpi?

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Rotation for Azpi has been awful recently. I would avoid him

    2. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      A for now Azpi might be out plus has rotation to contend with

    3. Sparrer
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      A!

    4. Phaze 1
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      a & t

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

      Interesting. Thanks for the replies guys.

  24. Phaze 1
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 7 months ago

    The case for Costa.......

    .

    .

    .
    There is none.

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

      He scores goals...
      He's consistent...

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

        So do lots of other players and they all cost less than he does.

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

          Who? 😮

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

            Austin, Fab, Hazard, Sanchez and almost matched by a bunch of defenders.

      Haha surely consistent points is a case

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

        Its a case thats on pretty thin ice. If he cost 7 mil then sure. At 11 mil his output doesn't match his price.

    3. Sparrer
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      15 goals in 18 games is a pretty solid case

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

        He's been outscored(points) by a QPR striker and another who's been out for a month. To top it off people are actually posing the question ' Austin or Costa?'

      I'd rather a guaranteed 6 points on average every week without having to use my FT on striker merry go round.

        I do wish he would get a few baps sometimes

      2. Phaze 1
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Does his price not play a factor when you adopted this strat?

    Looking forward to utd game, should be a cracker

      Really hope Saints come out and play.

  26. In Bale We Trust

    Pelle really looks like a good option now. Fancy him at Newcastle next GW with all their injuries. Saints seem to do well against Newcastle recently too.

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

      Who do you drop though? Costa? Austin?

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        i have soft spot for pelle as he killed it for me earlier in the year. Hard to make room for him now Aguero is back and kane and Austin are better value

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

        Kun, Kane, Pelle is how I'm going. QPR are dire away from home and their good fixtures there have dried up. AUstin won't be posting the same figures now imo.

    I don't know why there's no excitement around a Chelsea defender priced at 4.6 being available.

    I reckon its his spot to lose now. Even if he gets the occasional rest, it's not that big a deal at that price.

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      thats a big call i cant see him playing next week

      1. Elniñorules
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Cahill has been average at best this season. One of our weakest links.

        Time will tell I guess but Jose will be looking to Varanise young Kurt.

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 7 months ago

      nah

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Luis at 5.3 is a far better call and he will miss half the games

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

      No reason to presume he's nailed. Jose will keep faith with Cahill.

        In Zouma We Trust 😉

    4. BeachBadger

      He's hardly nailed on though is he? If he starts next week then Id be estatic

    What do ye think of these Pre WC moves,

    2 Ft's, 3.0 in account.. 2 WC's if that is any help.

    1. Aguero/Boyd in for Austin/Sterling..
    2. Aguero-Costa and 1 more FT (Maybe change Cahill or Zaba to Baines or some Price Riser)
    3. Something else

    Thinking of Option 2, with Baines in..

    Guzan, Gilks
    Zabaleta, Cahill, Wisdom, Naylor, Clyne
    Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy, Sterling, Downing
    Austin (6.1), Costa (11.1), Kane

  29. Sarri-ball
    • 16 Years

    On a wildcard only need 0.1 for my ideal team.

    In old days easily able to make 0.1 on wildcard Harder now.

    Who are likely to double rise this week?

    already got

    Aguero,Kane,Di maria, etc.

    possible thinking best option for double rise

    chadli
    boyd
    any others

    Best defender under 5.5m? Also, Austin > Aguero? (Kane + Costa)

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

      Apologies for top of page, guys.

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

      Debuchy
      Yes

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

        Zab > Debuchy, Austin > Aguero for 4pt?

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

          If you've played wildcard already.

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

            Haven't played yet, want to hold as team isn't too bad. Aguero could injure again.

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

              Still good moves, I think. I try not to take hits, though for a player like Aguero there's not much risk
