    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

      Is Baird nailed?

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

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

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

        Hutton, to Cameron(see how he goes tomorrow)

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          This.

      • BeachBadger
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Wisdom if Baird is nailed

    2. Sparrer
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month 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
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month 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
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Very torn indeed 🙁

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

    3. Jay_

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

        Me : DDG Debuchy ADM RVP

        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
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I'd go with Wisdom + Foster I think.

        2. Jay_
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Foster and PVA

          Me: Sanchez + 39 points
          Opponent: Giroud + ShawX

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

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

              Rooney must have a decent amount and Clyne or bert

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

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

            2. Phaze 1
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Rooney, Sot defense and maybe RVP?

              1. Holmes
                • 12 Years

                Many would have benched Saints?

            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

              Yeah but I'm not not a fan of Costa

                • 11 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Could go with fab over chaddli and out in Austin again

                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

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

            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

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

            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".

            • 13 Years

            Quite happy with this WC team so far.

            Aguero Costa Kane

            0.6 itb

            Any weaknesses I should be aware of?

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

              Looks very solid imo

            2. Kroos Kontrol
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

                Apart from that it's pretty solid.

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

              Baird - is he nailed? No idea.

              Chadli over Downing, maybe?

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

                Wouldn't like a Spurs double up.

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

                  Has worked out well the last 2 gws

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

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

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

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

              Only 1 FT after WC.

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

                Cheers man.

            2. Kroos Kontrol
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month 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.

            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!

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

                Follow up question. To go with Terry and PVA:

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

              Separate query. Costa or Aguero on my WC?

                • 13 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Aguero deffo.

                The question is Costa or Austin.

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

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

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

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

                    1. Sparrer

                      What happens today?

                        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).

                Aguero or both

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

                Let's try that again, sorry.

                Costa or Austin on my WC?

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

                      yeah i had the same dilema and went costa kun kane

            4. In Bale We Trust
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Terry and Alderweireld or Bertrand and Azpi?

              1. Cheeseoid

                • 13 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

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

                • 11 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

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

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

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

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

                      11 years, 1 month ago

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

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

                Haha surely consistent points is a case

                1. Phaze 1
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 1 month 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
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                15 goals in 18 games is a pretty solid case

                1. Phaze 1
                  • 14 Years
                  11 years, 1 month 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

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

              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.

                • 12 Years

                Who do you drop though? Costa? Austin?

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

                thats a big call i cant see him playing next week

                  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.

                  11 years, 1 month ago

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

                • 16 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

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

              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

            10. 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

                    If you've played wildcard already.

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

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