    No one going near Berahini? I see him hitting the net consistently till the end of the season.

      side netting?

        Goal

    2. Tim Canterbury
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Actually Berahino, Ings & Austin could all be massive differentials til the end of the season

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah There are many options too at that price range like Gayle Cisse etc

  2. HurriKane
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Think Baines is due a penalty

    1. La Roja
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Okay then, I will buy him tonight. Zaba done feck all and dropping 0.1 tonight it seems.

    2. ​
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Getting him in for a two week punt until my WC, they're juicy figures that even a Martinez team should find hard to pass up on.

  3. La Roja
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Have 2 FT and feck know what to do

    Forster
    Clyne JT Zaba
    Sanchez Eriksen Silva Hazard
    Costa Kane Austin

    2m ITB & 2 FT

    A) Zaba & Eriksen out ➡ Baines & ADM in
    B) Zaba & Austin out : arrow: Baird & Falcao in
    C) Other

      A I reckon. When you WCing

      1. La Roja
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Last day of the month 🙂

    2. TriggerFinger
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Lol at getting baines in.

      1. La Roja
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Bookmarked 😉

        1. TriggerFinger
          11 years, 9 months ago

          In all seriousness you are buying a defender with no clean sheet potential and who's output will be limited as Mirallas comes back into the side.

          1. La Roja
            11 years, 9 months ago

            No harm to punt for 2 weeks

      2. iCon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 9 months ago

        2 assists in last 3, seems his form is picking up. A pen and a c/s could be a 15 pointer for him!

        1. La Roja
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Wouldn't that be just fecking marvellous ?

          1. iCon
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 9 months ago

            Well for me it would be reward for the patience I've shown; for you it would just be jammy as f@ck 😛

            1. La Roja
              11 years, 9 months ago

              😀

    3. HurriKane
      11 years, 9 months ago

      A looks good. When are you getting aguero though ?

      1. La Roja
        11 years, 9 months ago

        After Chelsea game

        1. La Roja
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Unless he smashes vs arsenal 🙂

  4. Nappees
    11 years, 9 months ago

    What would you change to this wc?

    Panti/foster
    Clyne-dummett-wisdom-naylor-hutton
    Downing-hazard-dimaria-sanchez-chadli
    Austin-aguero-kane

    1. Nappees
      11 years, 9 months ago

      2.3m in the bank

    2. TriggerFinger
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Looks pretty damn good I would suggest Dummett to a Chelsea defender.

    3. Giovanni Giorgio
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Also I would select a cheaper 5th midfielder unless you want a headache selection each GW. Someone like Boyd for Chadli/Downing.

  5. Jonny Sutt
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Is stones a starter?

    1. La Roja
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Yes unless he is stoned

  6. BIG TONES
    11 years, 9 months ago

    On WC would you take Bertrand or go for Alderweireld and free up funds for forwards?

    1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Bert. The attacking dimension means you can play him even in difficult fixtures.

      1. BIG TONES
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers. I agree

  7. the shadowz
    11 years, 9 months ago

    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?

    1. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Yes 😀

    2. Hubert
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

    3. Hazardous Liege '76
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Correct

  8. Tim Canterbury
    11 years, 9 months ago

    I'm assuming if a lot of WC are activated this week many will ditch Austin & Ings for the Kane-Aguero-Costa front line but maybe those two will punish?

    1. Bob.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I think I will keep Austin and Kane on my WC. Such good value. WIll probably skip on Costa and go heavy in midfield

    2. kalmoffit
      11 years, 9 months ago

      What? Ings is going to punish us for getting Aguero. 😀

      1. Tim Canterbury
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Can just see Austin & Ings continuing to score. Maybe those who ditch Costa will be rewarded if they use the money elsewhere

    3. Rats Ass
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Think I'm going KIA - Kane, Ings, Aguero.

      But not yet. Still think Costa is due a big one and Aguero looked rusty vs Everton.

  9. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Does this WC team need changes?

    Foster
    Ivan Terry Bert
    Sanchez Wally Silva Hazard
    Berahino Aguero Kane

    Myhill Boyd PVA Wasi/Baird

    1. Bob.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Looks grand. You could probably free up some more funds and drop one of your Chelsea defenders for someone who rotates well with PVA or Wasi/Baird

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Terry Bert Ivan will play week in week out. I am happy having them. I just fancy my chances of getting 15 points from one of them in some weeks.

    2. BIG TONES
      11 years, 9 months ago

      3x WBA - not sure about that. Austin/Ings also better options than Berahino imo

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        11 years, 9 months ago

        WBA RFU have good fixtures for a very long time..

        1. BIG TONES
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Correct but still no need for 3x though imo. I would invest only their def and utilise better striking options in Berahino's price bracket. (Austin)

    3. Hubert
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure on Wally yet, and maybe a playing second keeper?

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        11 years, 9 months ago

        I am waiting for the Arsenal game to see how he fairs. I havent activated WC yet.

    4. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Baird not an option as you already have 3 WBA. Rest looks smart though!

      1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        11 years, 9 months ago

        How nailed on is Baird?

        1. BIG TONES
          11 years, 9 months ago

          No way of knowing until a couple more gameweeks, also Pulis is definitely bringing in players this month which could involve more competition for places

          1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
            11 years, 9 months ago

            I will save WC till 31st. Lots of uncertainities I will need to get out of my way in Wally Baird Bera etc

            1. BIG TONES
              11 years, 9 months ago

              Good to wait, but be wary of price rises if you want Aguero and ADM in your WC team.

              Still think Austin and Ings are much better options than Bera up front. Invest in WBA def if you want to triple up on them

              1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
                11 years, 9 months ago

                I used my freebie to do Costa> Kun yesterday.

  10. Jonny Sutt
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Can a Man U fan tell me about their defence. Who is the best purchase and why ? Not de Gea

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Jones. He's as nailed on as can be. Shaw would be another good bet but is seriously injury prone

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Jones is hardly Captain Scarlett either

    2. BIG TONES
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Probably none to be honest, They will struggle to keep cleanies even when winning

    3. Bob.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Its very difficult. Shaw could be good. If youre going for a centre back one of Jones/Evans would be your man

    4. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      11 years, 9 months ago

      We are very solid at the back. Jones, as the best defender in the league, is as nailed as it gets. He's your man.

      1. TriggerFinger
        11 years, 9 months ago

  11. Tim Canterbury
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Quite tempted to make a team out of differentials. Austin Ings Berahino Downing Sterling Zaha...

    1. La Roja
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Austin Downing sterling hardly differentials

      Ings is a good punt though

    2. BIG TONES
      11 years, 9 months ago

      You will have the highest GW score at some point but many more crap weeks.

  12. TuttiFrutti
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Did aguero rise tonight?

    1. Bob.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

    2. La Roja
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Yep

    3. Tim Canterbury
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Ask his Mrs

      1. La Roja
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Disgusting, reported

      2. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
        11 years, 9 months ago

        I'm his mrs. Can confirm his willy came up.

    4. TuttiFrutti
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Cheers guys!

  13. Jonny Sutt
    11 years, 9 months ago

    A shaw and stones
    B jones and jag

    1. Bob.
      11 years, 9 months ago

      B

      1. Jonny Sutt
        11 years, 9 months ago

        I guess the real question is who will pick up more bonus points and goals/assists. Shaw or jag

        1. Bob.
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Jag a more secure starter but Shaw could get more attacking pts when playing

    2. BIG TONES
      11 years, 9 months ago

      A - but why would you invest in EVE defence?

      1. Jonny Sutt
        11 years, 9 months ago

        The tide must be changing and 1 goal conceded against Man City is a good sign I recon

        1. BIG TONES
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Nooooooooo! Everton are like a sieve this year... CHE/SOU/WBA + 2 cheapies is a much better plan for defence imo

    3. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 9 months ago

      I'd question getting an EVE defender (and even more so a CB); what's your thinking there?

    4. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Don't get an Everton defender

    5. Clump
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Jags seems to be the main problem in Everton defence. So many individual errors.

  14. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Who will be more transfered out for Aguero this week,

    Costa or Austin?

  15. kirwy
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Best cheap def rotation?

    1. BIG TONES
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Wisdom/Hutton/PVA

      1. kirwy
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Thx!

      2. Amateur Pundit Zan
        11 years, 9 months ago

        That will be my 3 to support chelsea and soton come wc

    2. La Roja
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Wasi, Baird, PVA

      1. kirwy
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers!

      2. BIG TONES
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Baird too risky for those WC'ing this GW? Pulis could well buy another def before the end of window as well...

        1. La Roja
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Agreed, wisdom then

          1. BIG TONES
            11 years, 9 months ago

            In saying that, incoming transfers could mean Wisdom is no longer nailed by the end of Jan either!

  16. Ice
    11 years, 9 months ago

    The Fab vs Costa debate.
    Fab 5.78 ppg
    Costa 6.2 ppg

    1. Lawrø
      11 years, 9 months ago

      The plot thickens.

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 9 months ago

      *3m

    3. Amateur Pundit Zan
      11 years, 9 months ago

      According to the fpl site they are both 5.7ppg

      1. Ice
        11 years, 9 months ago

        This is wrong. Do it yourself and you'll get the same number (total points) divided by(mins/90)

        1. Lawrø
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Total Points/ Games participated in

          1. Ice
            11 years, 9 months ago

            My way is much more accurate.

            1. Lawrø
              11 years, 9 months ago

              Per "game'', there's no point working out points per 90 minute for a player if they only play 80 minutes every game. My way is more accurate as it is truer to the real value of how many points they get per game they actually participate in.

          2. Lawrø
            11 years, 9 months ago

            You're working out points per 90 minutes and there's a distinction to be made between the two.

        2. Amateur Pundit Zan
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Thats not points per game, thats points per 90. Im not sure why costa getting dragged early would be a good thing

          1. Ice
            11 years, 9 months ago

            90 minutes is by definition a game. Look is up if you want to. This just a more
            Accurate ppg, so you would count 20 mins as a game of you did it then? Sorry but that's not the way to do it, it shews results.

            1. Lawrø
              11 years, 9 months ago

              "90 minutes is by definition a game''

              🙄

              That's where you differ from the rest of us, we perceive a game to be how many minutes they actually play per match where as you for some bizarre reason coagulate all of the bit parts and pretend they play 90 minutes every game which just isn't a good model for what actually happens in real life.

    4. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Ooooh. Balls in your court, Fab brigade.

      1. Amateur Pundit Zan
        11 years, 9 months ago

        See just above,

        Also i can afford austin if i get fab but only boyd if i get costa. One of those is the top scoring striker in the game

        1. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Back to you, Ice. 😀

        2. Ice
          11 years, 9 months ago

          Yes but with Austin a lot of the other top strikers haven't played anywhere need as many minutes as him so this is not a point to be used in an argument. E.g Kane,Costa, Aguero

          1. Amateur Pundit Zan
            11 years, 9 months ago

            Austin ppg 5.6. Its pretty comparable to costa

            Can you show me a mf 5m cheaper than fab with a comparable ppg?

            1. Ice
              11 years, 9 months ago

              Why would I want a 5m mid who is comparable to Fab? It's about how you spread money round your team, I wouldn't want two Chelsea mids as IMO mid slots are more precious than striker slots.

    5. TriggerFinger
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Own neither, but isn't there a 1.5 million price difference as well? Or am I just imagining things.

    6. HurriKane
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Watched the chelsea match Costa couldve scored a hattrick. He'll get chances every match and if he could finish them can see big hauls incomming

    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). Current team..

    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 before WCing

    I like having a strong squad but next week is an absolute nightmare benching wise.

    Sanchez Hazard AdM Cesc Downing
    Aguero Ings Kane

    Of the budget options they all have good home games. Aguero is a stick on and the heavy hitter mids all have away games you can see them getting points in but are one of those the correct choice? Benching a heavy hitter is a big decision.

    Who to chose? I'm certain I'll bench points regardless.

    Any Everton fans recon u will tighten up at the back with ur easy fixtures?

    1. Rats Ass
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Who knows? Every Everton fan wishes it.

      We seem to have abandoned our suicidal tendency to play the short ball every time. So at least we're not actually giving the opposition the ball in dangerous places all the time.

    2. BIG TONES
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Should pick up a couple of wins but likely to concede goals as well.

  21. Kerrazy
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Guzan
    Azpili* BDavies** Wisdom
    Alexis Hazard Silva Fab
    Austin Kane RVP

    Elliott Naylor SDAvis Duff

    Who is the most nailed on defender for man United.have a great run of fixtures coming up.on wildcard

    1. Pie-o-My
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Evans I would think.

    2. ​
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Phil Jones at the moment. Though Rojo/Shaw also should be set to have runs in the side if they stay fit

      Look up, that question was just asked

    4. Giovanni Giorgio
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Probably Shaw or Jones but can they stay healthy.... ?

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        11 years, 9 months ago

      Rojo and Shaw are the most nailed if everyone is fit.

    RM WC TEAM!

    ------------------------Foster--------------------- (Pantilimon)

    Debuchy-----Alderweireld-----Wasilewski (Hutton, Wisdom)

    Sanchez----Di Maria----Hazard----Chadli (Boyd)

    Kane--------------Aguero---------------Costa

    Defence is kinda weak and im 0.2 short on Bertrand/Clyne......

    1. Pie-o-My
      11 years, 9 months ago

      You could ditch paint for Myhill and St go with west brom keeper till the end of the season. That'll free up the funds you need.

      1. Pie-o-My
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Panti*. Dam ipad!

      2. Giovanni Giorgio
        11 years, 9 months ago

    When you're a grown man, it's not cool to still be called Matty (James).

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 9 months ago

      It's never cool.

      1. Black Knights
        11 years, 9 months ago

        True.

    1. La Roja
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Are u shaw? He is injury prone

      1. Jonny Sutt
        11 years, 9 months ago

        If he can stay fit do u think he is man u's best defender?

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          11 years, 9 months ago

  27. Tim Canterbury
    11 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone NOT putting Ings & Austin in their WC team? Austin the top scoring forward & Ings great fixtures

    1. Epic Fail

    2. BIG TONES

    5. TriggerFinger
      11 years, 9 months ago

    6. BIG TONES
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Can't kiss all the pretty girls at the party etc etc....

      Or maybe you could if you didn't have a budget

    Since Kane first started making appearances again (13 gameweeks) he has averaged 6.3ppg.

    If you go from his first full appearance (90 mins) he's averaged 6.7ppg over 11 weeks.

    Doesn't feel like a fluke to me.

    1. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      think most have realized by now he is the real deal
      last week pretty much sealed it

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        11 years, 9 months ago

        Still seeing him not included in some wildcard teams. Seems a bit mental but I guess if you want to climb the ranks....

      1. andres
        11 years, 9 months ago

    2. BIG TONES
      11 years, 9 months ago

      Spurs double-up is dicey, they are so inconsistent.

      In saying that, I'm considering tripling-up on WBA defence lol

    Austin > Ings
