    Mornings peeps.

    What are we all doing with Siggy on the WC ?

    Ditching?

    Patience. Wearing. Thin.

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

      Keeping, till he gets injured or I find a better option 🙂

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

      He's only had a couple of blanks 😯

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        12 out of 21 GWs.

        Only 4 goals.

        I expected better if I am honest.

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

          Oh you mean overall not recently. Well I ditched before his last goal a couple of GW's ago and have been glad for it. Bony leaving made up my mind.

        2. JasonG123
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          He's fifth in the midfielder standings for 6m starting price. Can't get much better than that.

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

          Well, people on here are still keeping Sterling, with only one goal the last 16 matches, and a lot expensiver than Siggy.

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

            expensiver 😀

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

              More 🙂

        4. JasonG123
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Also he's actually only blanked in 8 out of 20 weeks.

          1. JasonG123
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Wait never mind, that's wrong. 😛

        5. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          He's only 6.8 or something though Evs, easily living up to and exceeding what you should expect from someone at that price. Has outscored the likes of Yaya and Silva, only one point less than Costa etc...

    3. MARVELLUS
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping.
      With my TV need a 4th mid, have Kane so no Chadli, regretfully shifted Downing due to fixtures.

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

        Have ditched Siggy to Chadli on wc
        Why is Kane and Chadli too much Spurs if they are always involved or a lot involved?

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

          It isn't too much IMO.

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

          I might get proved wrong, but Spurs aren't suddenly world beaters, very inconsistent.

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

      Shouldn't he have got an assist?

    5. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      if you ditch, do it this week for ADM

    6. Patty
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Read somewhere that he still go better without bony there

    7. TheCurseOfRaheem
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Had him all season, have been pleased with him. That said, I'll reassess towards the end of the month.

  2. Patty
    • 11 Years

    RIP Malanda. My thoughts go out to all friends and family. Died to young 🙁

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

      Only hearing of this now. Tragic. 🙁

  3. laGan1n1
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    i did Oscar > Haz last week

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

    Why do QPR get so many penalties? Will this continue or just an anomaly?

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

      Vargas and isla are south american

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Racist

        1. Evs
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          He's factually correct 🙂

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

            🙂

          2. La Roja
            • 13 Years

            🙂

    2. A La Pelle
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      God knows. Hopefully not.

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

    Surely you'd take RVP (qpr, LEI) over Kun (ARS, che) for 2 weeks?

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

      Price changes could be annoying though

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

      Yes you would... I just don't like how the points are spread with Utd attackers. Have a great week followed by blanks.

  6. laGan1n1
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    do you think Jovetic will start next week ?

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

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

      I wouldn't have thought so. Have got him and looking to offload..

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

      Yes, I think so.

  7. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Next gw
    A Erikson
    B mata
    C sterling

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

      Sterling

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

    Best use of a FT on this side? £3.5 saved

    Panti
    Terry, Clichy, Hutton
    Hazard, Sánchez, Downing, Chadli
    Agüero, Austin, Kane(c)

    (Alnwick, Silva, Wisdom, Dummett)

    Thinking maybe Clichy out for Baines? Or Dummett > Cresswell/Skrtl?
    Will WC after GW 23 I think.

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

      Dummett/Clichy to Cresswell or Save

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

        Good team, maybe save.

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

          Cheers. Tough to know what to do going forward.

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

        Clichy I am having second thoughts about ditching but Dum Dum has less reason to be in my team.

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

    Dont know what team I want on WC -_- #clueless

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

      Put Sanchez, haz, aguero, Kane, Chelsea def, west from def (or keeper) and Southampton def then fill the gaps imo.

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

        If only it was that simple... 😛

    2. Mr. Grv

    Good day fantasy ppl,

    Playing around with the wildcard which will be activated on gameweek 23.

    Pantilmon/krul
    Bruce/van-anholt/taylor/clark/wisdom
    Silva/fabregas/hazard/johnson
    Aguero/rooney/giroud

    Thoughts welcome as usual

  11. jai1212

    How does this WC team looks?

    Heaton - Pantilimon
    Terry - Debuchy - Clyne - Wisdom - PVA
    Hazard - Boyd - ADM - Sanchez - Chadli
    Pelle - Aguero - Berahino

    0.2 itb.

    Pelle and Sanchez or Costa and Cazorla?

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

      You went for 2 players from southampton. They're fixtures arent very promising, im guessing you trust the team enough.

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

        Actually i am wrong, their fixtures are promising 🙂

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

      pelle and sanch

    3. MARVELLUS
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Different. Like it.

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

    Pick two:

    A) Fab
    B) Silva
    C) Chadi + cash ITB

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

      A and B

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

      Next round? (Chadli & cash) - they play sunderland at home

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

        AC

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

      A&B (if for the long term)
      A&C (if until WC)

    4. mipola
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers all. Currently on WC, Thinking Fab and Chadli over Silva for the next two.

  13. saata

    • 13 Years

    I went out last night and missed all the price rises and now I'm giving away more money for Aguero.
    Alcohol is dragging me behind in fantasy terms..

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

      Perfect Grav for that statement. 😉

      1. Mr. Grv
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        ++1

      2. saata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Haha

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

    Not pressed the WC button despite 8 transfers last night - will wait until the last day so that they count towards the rises. Everyone else WC-ing doing the same?

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

      Lol if you forget

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

        Nothing like a good old -28 hit to sort your team out!

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

      I hope your internet drops and you can't press WC

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

        How lovely!

    3. Mr Smith
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Err no, your alarm doesn't come on and your season is over.

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

        Could just do it on Friday if you don't trust yourself. Still, think it makes sense.

  15. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Zab or jones?

    1. Mr. Grv
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      well seeing zab hasnt given me anything any defender is better then him

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

      Think I'd take Smalling over Jones atm! Zab has 2 tough games and slight rotation risk, so I'd avoid

  16. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Am I insane to do Zaba out for Baines in FT?

    1. laGan1n1
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      racist

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Keep Zaba then? 🙂

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

      Not insane take out Zaba.
      Insane to bring Baines in now.

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

      Could be a great differential. If you are ahead of the curve with Baines you could make some serious ground.

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

      Not at all. I like the look of his fixture this week!

  17. Just A Wooden Spoon
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone think Baines may become a viable option again this season? Granny made a decent comment yesterday that after a poor period Baines usually comes back with a good run. It's all about catching him at the right time, with 2 assists in last 3 is this the time to jump back on?

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Precisely my thinking, I'm gonna do Zaba out for Baines I think. Then assess when WC in GW 24

      1. Mr Smith
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        WBA/cpl coming up too so maybe worth a 2 week punt at least.

        1. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Yip

          1. Mr Smith
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            At least i'm not going crazy, or if i am i'm not alone 😀

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

      The best way is just to leave him in all season.

      1. Mr Smith
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Don't agree, he's never been a whole season type of player but there are usually 2 or 3 pockets during the season where he's worth investing in and you normally cash in pretty big.

        Problem with a player like Baines, most people find it difficult to downgrade after a decent run but you need to remember a bad patch always comes along again.

      2. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Normally I would, but I jumped ship just on time as realised Everton was having a shocking period. Yesterday they looked pretty good, even Lukaku 😯

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

          They were improved in the cup against West Ham as well, Lukaku looked seriously fired up.

    3. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm thinking of getting him for the next 2 before I WC

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        +1

  18. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Morning guys..
    2 FTs and 0.4 in the bank. Playing my WC GW 24 so looking at good two week punts(and also looking at getting players i want on WC cheap)
    Panti (Guzan)
    Baines Terry Zabaleta (Wisdom Dummett)
    Sanchez Hazard Silva Downing (Siggy@6.8)
    Costa Austin Kane

    A) Siggy to Chadli(SUN,wba) and Zabaleta to Bertrand(new, SWA) leaves around 7.5 for a midfield punt on Downing next week before WCing
    B) Siggy to Adm(qpr, LEI) and Zabaleta to Cameron(lei, QPR)... leaves about 6.1 for a midfield punt on Downing next week

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

      No man U? Good fixtures coming

  19. Amateur Pundit Zan
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    What happened to azpi other than trolling me? Did it look serious?

    1. Mr Smith
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      by all accounts its not serious. Have you seen the scout tweets on the home page, its the first headline, fyi.

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

    Best defender for £4.3 for next GW only?

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

      Slim pickings... Probably Wasilewski or Simpson. Maybe Cameron if he starts again today and you rate Stoke.

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

        Yeah, not many options; need to downgrade Vergini to afford Siggy to ADM for next week and could do with a better 3rd defender than Dummet...

  21. radawson
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I don't know anything about West Brom.....

    Was Baird starting on merit or due to injury/rotation?

    Is he likely to keep his place?

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

      It's possible, but not a certainty just yet. Need to see over next few matches I reckon

    2. Jonny Sutt
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      He did ply on merit this weekend and he played quite well, pulis likes playing full backs that are solid first and for most. The other left backs at WBA like to bomb on! It's likely Baird will start again for the foreseeable future however I think the baggies will purchase another left back this month. Also pocognoli is a good player. I'd stay clear tbh, go for wisdom, I have foster!

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

    Will Sanchez score 6+ points to pass Hazard for highest scoring mid today?

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      He should do but u never know. Both arsenal and spurs are very inconsistent this season. I won't be surprised with 0-1 Stoke win

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

        I think Arsenal will win this revenge game.
        1 assist and 1bp would do the trick

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

      Let me check in my crystal ball

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

      Yes

  23. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    People who wanna bring in baines aren't you all worried that mirallas might start next gw and hog most of his attacking returns ?

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sort of. He is still on penos though. And maybe a cheeky/rare Everton cs

  24. andres

    double up on chelsea's defence (terry, ivanovic) or midfield (hazard, fabregas)

    I think I'm going to get rid of Costa for a aguero, kane, austin front 3. leaves me with 1 open chelsea slot in my team.
    My defence and midfield right now is

    terry, trippier, Wisdom, PVA, wasilewski
    hazard, sanchez, downing, silva, albrighton

    I would get rid of wasilewski if i were to get ivan and silva if i were to get fabregas.

    Thoughts??

        Interesting point.

        Would you take Alderweireld or Bertrand on WC?

    So I can See City putting a few past Arsenal. Does Costa->Aguero make sense?

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me.

      Costa is looking food game by game.

      KUN needs couple of more weeks imo

    Hi guys/gals

    My 3 defenders were. Cahill/moreno/ baines
    My 1st sub was marney and my 2nd was Wasil

    Will wasil come into my side in place of cahill to make it 3defenders since 2 is not allowed?
