    • 15 Years

    Given my dodgy defence this week, can Aguero wait a week? Best option here?

    A) Silva & Austin -> Albrighton & Aguero
    B) Debuchy & Costa -> Reid/Luis & Aguero
    C) Debuchy & Austin -> Baines & Ings
    D) Debuchy & Chambers -> Baines & Wasilewski

    Plan to WC next week

    Bank 1.4m, 2 Freebies

    Hart
    Terry, Hutton, Debuchy
    Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Eriksen, Downing
    Costa, Kane

    Elliot, Austin, Hutton, Chambers

    1. Hakuho FPL

    2. Jay_

        B with Creswell ?

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

      Probable team for GW22:
      Heaton
      Baines-Cresswell-Terry-Clyne
      Sanchez-Hazard-Downing
      Austin-Ings-Rooney
      Bench: Sigurdsson-Cazorla-Hutton
      1FT .1m in bank
      Anything worth doing? 1 week punt?

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

        I'd save or get rid of Rooney for Kane

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

          Not Kane? Someone else?

          1. Jay_
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Carrol

          Don't let price rises stop you... I'm wildcarding now.

      3. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Which teams should we be investing in for our defence?

        Currently I have double West Brom and Chelsea but I'm struggling for ideas...

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

          Villa, sunderland and crystal palace can be good shouts

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

          Stoke City, Southampton

            This.

            Although, remember that Stoke had a great run of fixtures to start the year too. & nothing.

            Also, I think ppl got off the South bandwagon & don't think they can get back on...
            Something weird about selling a player & having to buy him back at that inflated price.

      4. Mr. Grv

        11 years, 1 month ago

        Nice price rise for me removed sterling and falcao got aguero and Austin last night for a -4
        I am gonna WC late so happy to spend -4

          Is Sterling a forward?

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

            Good point.
            If he is then I want to nominate Giroud for midfield it'd make tinkering that much easier.

          2. Tim Canterbury

      5. Skipdipper

        Wildcarded...

        Foster Myhill
        Terry Bertrand PVA wisdom trippier
        Chadli Sanchez hazard adm Boyd
        Kane RVP Carroll

        Carroll - one week punt. Switch to giroud next week
        RVP to Aguero week after

        Thoughts? Feel free to rip apart...

        1. Skipdipper
          • 14 Years

          Anyone? 🙂

        WC mids seem really template for everyone. Making this really boring

        1. Holmes

          Try something else 🙂

          Agreed. I'm trying my hardest to find some alternative lines but struggling.

          Need walcott/sturridge/bony/yaya all to come back and ideally a decent signing or two to come to the EPL during january to mix things up a bit.

        3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Some puntable signings added to the game would help things.
          someone sign David Villa!!

        4. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          It's also to do with crowd behaviour. And transfers lead to price rises which only encourages the same Group-thought.

        11 years, 1 month ago

        Guys just playing around with wildcards and came up with this one. I won't be playing my WC until the last week.

        Pantilimon | Mannone
        PVA| Huttone | Lescott | Pieters | Bertrand
        Sanchez | Fabregas| Hazard | Colback | Sessegnon
        Kane | Kun | Sturridge

        I have left costa out for sturridge as I believe Hazard\Fab coverage is enough. Plus sturridge earns more bps when he plays.

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Che defender?

          1. badger1982
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Expensive! Plus I don't think Chelsea defence is as good as people think. Just my opinion tho.

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

          triple sunderland and west brom seems a bit much 😆

          1. badger1982
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah I agree lol

        3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Studge looks a lock for me when he comes back. Liverpool missing him more than anything else to my eye. Even if not back he'll be in my Ufpl squad as a diff.

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

            *for when he comes back, not just because I want an expensive bench

            1. badger1982
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Yup plus the people doing their wildcards now won't be able to find the funds for him down the line I reckon.

      8. Sz21
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

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

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

        How about Aguero in for Costa ( can get back later in WC).
        Can change either Zaba/Cahill to Baines for a punt and then WC next week?

        or should i just WC now and shake this lot up?

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

          I think I'd shake it up.

        @ torresmagic
        falcao and sterling for ADM and aguero.
        my mob is giving prob with reply button.

        Why Zaha dont get more minute on the pitch? Yesterday looked very good and change the game...

        1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          He does that and then is anonymous for six weeks (he was with us last year anyway). I think Pardew will punt on him a bit now though

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

            I agree all the talent in the world but, it sounds as if he's a handful off the pitch / on the training ground.

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

        Does this look like a decent WC? 🙂

        Foster
        Terry, Alderweireld, PVA, Baird, Bruce
        Hazard, Sanchez, Di Maria, Downing, Boyd
        Costa, Aguero, Kane

        The defence is a little sketchy...

        1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Not sure on Baird as but the rest looks very strong

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

            Neither am I but it's getting difficult to fill out those last few defender slots, I should of wildcarded yesterday!

            Cheers 🙂

        2. Jay_
            11 years, 1 month ago

            2 X 3.9s that are gametime doubts is very risky, swap Bruce to Wasil it looks a bit better, rest of team is very nice though

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

              I think I may take you up on that Wasilewski shout! Thanks 😀

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

          Baird or Wasilewski?

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

          Cheers.

            I have quite a tense top of the table H2H match.

            Team 1 - 57 + Di Maria v Team 2 - 56 + Debuchy and Sanchez.

            Team 2 is looking favourite but who knows? Eeeeek.

            1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              I'm set for this GW22 played WC last week..defence have tough games but can't help that hoping Cahill plays..

              Heaton
              Cahill Bertand Wisdom
              Hazard Sanchez ADM Chadli
              Aguero(C) Costa Kane (VC)

              Pants Boyd PVA Debuchy

              If Cahill fails to get back into centre back for Chelsea I'm thinking either
              A.Cahill > Clyne or Fonte double Saints? Or
              B.Cahill > Shaw

              Thoughts ?

            11 years, 1 month ago

            Well, tying two cup games so far, and winning the third by a point, I have another cliffhanger on hand.

            Me: Sanchez.
            Him: Bertrand + 4.

            Should be extremely interesting again.

            1. Jay_
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Similar for me,

                Me: DDG Debuchy ADM RVP

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

                We should both sneak it i feel, need a United goal !

              B) Fab
              C) Chadli

              Pick one.

                  Ive got this problem too, I would want a Chelsea defender, probably Azpi if his fit, but I have DDG, so Shaw could be a good call

                    I was gutted when doing my WC I was .1 short of Terry!! If I'd played my WC earlier in the week would of been bang on the money Grrr why is it always .1 short regardless of your TV

                    I think and hope Cahill will return next GW but think Shaw might be the way if he's dropped again. Thanks

                Just watched MOTD and Gomis looks like he has two left feet. Swans will need a better striker than him going forward

                    For the French left=gauche. Italians think it sinister. Links in German means strange. It's all nonsense propaganda put about by the right-sided autocrats but the phrase means he's clumsy.

                Current WC team.. what do you think? 🙂

                Foster / Myhill
                Terry / Clyne / PvA / Hutton / Wasil
                Sanchez / Hazard / ADM / Oscar / Boyd
                Kun / Kane / Austin

                1.9 in bank

                When Coloccini tracked back fast enough to clear that open goal shot from my captain Costa, how many pts. did he costa me? 12 min right? I suppose it was still a better choice than Hazard.

                  probably 18. surely he would've got max Bps with a brace?

                      haha same here. we're going to be forced into wc this week if we don't want to miss the next price rise I imagine.

                        Haha cheers mate. I am wildcarding this week I think. Brought in Aguero on a hit and havent pressed the button yet but I can feel it lol

                          If ur team is good..take the hit and delay a week more to wc.

                            I have a few issues this week. DOuble villa against Liverpool for one. Azpi maybe injured and some of my WC players will have decent fixtures. Probably better off pulling the trigger this week

                  Make sense to do Costa/Zaba to Kun and Alderweireld with two free transfers?

                  Panti Elliot

                  Anyone found any decent keeper rotations for the rest of the year? I'm currently likojg Panti/Forster which gives the following fixtures:

                  new, BUR, qpr, QPR, WBA, wba, CPL, AVL, BUR, NEW, CPL, stk, TOT, SOU, lei

                  Anyone found better?

                    Pants Heaton is better

                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Can I ask a massively noob question

                  On the wildcard, to capture the price rises, do you just buy the players that are rising every evening and then repeat until the deadline?

                  1. Robe Wan
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 13 Years
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    Also, are their any accurate price sites?

                  2. Woy of the Wovers
                    • 15 Years
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    You can't make much TV from the WC. But you can get the players you want early before their prices rise.

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

                    If you're trying to make some cash from them they have to rise twice before you will make a profit off them but as Woy says above, you wont make much anyways. better to get in the players you want

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

                    Yes, but be careful! If you sell any players on which you have already made a profit then you would have to buy them back at the market rate should you decide to get them back in again. Just don't remove the ones that you designate as keepers.

                  Thinking of Costa ro RVP over the next 4, then Aguero. Most people will be going Kun asap so if RVP could outscore them both with juicy fixtures could be a winner?

                  Is it silly to get rid of Sanchez for a hit before WC?

                  Thinking to do Sanchez, Austin to Kun, Boyd (-4) 😯

                  Not sure about Sanchez's point potential away at City and I can get him back in WC for only 0.2 dearer

                  Will (c) Kun for a punt...
