    I forgot to activate my wildcard and i did 5transfers. Then i activated my wildcard... Will the -16 point be deducted?

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

      Nope.

    2. Torres76
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No mate

        Great news!
        Je suis Charlie

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

      Yes, pretty sure it will be. Bad luck mate

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

        Huh, guess I understood the rules incorrectly. Apologies 🙂

      2. Rider on the Storm
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Bad news!

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, the points will not be deducted if you played the WC in the same GW as the -16pt hit. You can make transfers until the next GW deadline.

    5. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Does it say 0 above wildcard active?

  2. mranonymous
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    If had to pick two 3.9m defenders, who would they be?

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

      Baird
      Yun
      Bruce?

      Those are on top of my head don't know who's best at the price...

    2. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Wasil and Baird.

      1. Torres76
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Baird and Wasi

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

      wasilewski and bruce

      there will be a better alternative than having two 3.9 defs though

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

    Worth WCing my team (linked) to this?

    Panty Heaton
    Terry Bertrand PVA Wisdom Cameron
    Sanchez Haz ADM Siggy Boyd
    Kun Costa Kane

    1. The Manbearpig
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No I don't think so. Your team looks pretty strong, might as well just wait and see who the next bandwagon will be.

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

        Thanks. To be fair I have .3 in rises I can absorb as Cameron could become a 3.9

        Kun and ADM will do that themselves though I can really only wait 1 week max, maybe not even that

  4. super zlatan

    Repost

    What's best?

    A) foster and marney

    B) Krul and Boyd

    *other gk will be a 4.0

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

      A

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

      A. Go for the better goalkeeper as they'll play every week, you won't be depending on Boyd that often if he's your fifth mid.

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

      a - foster over krul > boyd over marney

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      B. Marney will never get you anything more than two points at best.I have had him for a while now.

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

        but you'll almost never play him whereas the keeper would be played every week?

    5. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

    Which two would you prefer to have on a WC?

    A) Hutton
    B) Naylor
    C) Cameron
    D) Wisdom (already have Foster + Myhill)

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

      Is Cameron a certain start?

      Ill get him if he is. And Naylor.

    2. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I went with d. I also have foster and myhill

      I would say naylor also.

  6. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years

    How does downing get an assist and gomis doesn't get one
    Ridiculous.

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I agree

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

      Gomis did get one according to FPL

    3. Cousin Greg
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      gomis get it.

    4. Vardy Gras PBFC
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Also agree.

      1. Vardy Gras PBFC
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        That Downing's assist was dubious. Fernandez looks like he got a foot in before Carroll got it under control.

  7. joinho
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else looking at their team and thinking when it comes to jan wc i'm not gonna have to make more than 3 or 4 changes if that?

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

      I don't even need to use my January WC at the moment. Maybe an injury, Sturridge's return or a potential transfer will change that!

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

      Costa to Aguero prob the only major change i'll be making

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

      I used 2 ft last week had great team and here I am WC for aguero's return!

      Aguero is the only reason I'm Wcding. My team is decent but one dead player and some stuff to change

      Didn't intend to do it until an hour ago

    I tell you who played a blinder today, Albrighton. Another GW1 troll who might eventually come good.

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

      Baird is also a GW1 troll.

          Good man. Look out though, the sales team are back pounding the streets.

    3. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yup, had him.

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      He's an enabler in my WC. Was MOTM vs Newcastle in the FA Cup too, apparently.

    5. Taribo West on a free
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Looked bloody brilliant didn't he.

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

      Still have him.

      Could have had goal and 2 assists...

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

    2 FTs.. 0.4 in the bank
    Pantilimon (Guzan)
    Baines Terry Zabaleta (Wisdom Dummett)
    Sanchez Hazard Silva Downing (Siggy)
    Austin Costa Kane

    A) Siggy(bought @6.8) to Chadli and bench Austin
    B) Zabaleta to Bertrand
    C) Both (Gives me the option to play the WC next week.. if i do A) or B) i'd prob wait another week cause i'll have 2 FTs for GW 23).

  10. RSe

    Foster/Myhill
    JT//Clyne//PVA//Wisdom//Wasilewski

    Contemplating WC to this...thoughts?

    1. sully29

      Looks good.

    TORRESMAGIC

    Fabianski
    Az (I will buy Cresswell with FT, maybe) - Baines - Bertrand
    Sánchez - Fab - Silva - Hazard
    Austin - Ings - Kane

    Bench: Gilks 1 - Siggy 2 - Clyne 3 - Moore

    Forget the WC team and I want to know if this is enough to next GW

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It's enough.

      1. Ibracadabra´s Spell

        Ok, thanks mate. 🙂

    Who's rising and falling tonight?

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

      Aguero avoiding a rise I think anyway.

      Kane rising

  13. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    A super punty WC is calling my name.

    Must. Resist.

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      The difference between my wildcard team in GW 23 wasn't much different to the one if I did one now. So I wildcarded

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Well, this would be drastically different. I'd either win FPL or drop like a stone.

        Tempted.

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

    A- Costa > Kun For free

    B- Active WC

    Guzan (Gilks)

    Baines / Azapi / Naylor / Trippier / Moore

    Sanchez / Hazard / Downing / Silva / Chadli

    Kane / Austin / Costa

  15. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Newcastle seemed quite solid. I thought they'd collapse defensively

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      They were the better team overall.

    2. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      They were great. Especially Cabella was magnificent.

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Colback has come on well and looking a very decent player.

  16. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Would it be better to have Panti and Mannone as keepers and Baird and Wisdom over Panti and Foster with Baird and PvA? Think I want to double on Pulis defence somehow

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      The latter is much better imo? Two playing keepers + a defender with attacking threat.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        But costs a little bit more

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      That's what I'm doing, but a 4.0 instead of Manonne

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I'd rather pay the extra for Mannone

        1. Gazza2000
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Can't afford it 🙁

    3. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yup, double Sunderland keeper, double West Brom defenders. I might do the same.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        if I can afford the extra I might get McAuley or Lescott over Wisdom

      2. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I know that if I get Panti and Mannone I'll end up playing Mannone

  17. copps
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    downing's assist is probably one of the jammiest i've seen

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

      once the defender touched it i was sure he would not get it

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Imagine having him also coming off the bench too. Jammy git that Mark.

    3. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yh annoying and Sig doesn't get one because of a rebound off the post. Frustrating!

  18. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Ppl with downing...

    You keeping him even if using the wildcard?

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

      I did

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

      Nope. I have enough cash to go for four heavy hitter in mid so the value Downing brings isn't as necessary.

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Who are your strikers sully?

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

          On the WC?

          Aguero + Kane + Costa or Pelle

          Depends on how strong I want my defence....

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

      I didnt have him and not sure bout him or chadli?! Because i have kane.still thinking chadli.x

    4. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I am, he's on pretty much all set pieces and with Carroll/Valencia/Sakho being good in the air I see no reason not to have him.

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

        That said, Chadli is quickly knocking on the door..

    5. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping him. Benching Austin to play him.

    6. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Stats regression no?

    7. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sold him, decided to keep Siggy instead

  19. LeytonOrient
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Repost on my WC side, anything obvious I'm missing?

    Forster Hamer
    Terry Clyne Clichy Duff Wasilewski
    Alexis Haz Siggy Downing Boyd
    Kun Costa Kane

    -16 overall
    Given > Hamer
    Zabaleta + Wisdom > Was + Duff
    Austin > Kun

    Good to go and pull the trigger?

    1. Rotation City
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Is Duff even playing? Surely these's a better option?

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

        Only 4.1 to splash. He's expected back from injury (so i believed).
        Baird is my other thought but not certain on him!

  20. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Risers and fallers tonight?

  21. Rotation City
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    RMT please
    Looking to play my WC, but I have a conundrum in Midfield.

    Foster--Pantilimon
    Clyne - Wisdom - Terry - Clichy - Wasilewski
    Hazard - Silva - Sanchez - Downing - STIRLING/ERIKSEN/OTHER
    Aguero - Austin - Kane

    9.1 ITB

    I'm choosing to drop Costa with the return of Aguero, I just can't justify the cost with other strikers in from.
    I have 9.1 to fill that last midfield slot. The idea is to have a 5 midfield option, and I can bench Austin,Kane,Downing or the 5th mid depending on fixtures.

    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    1. Bolivian Seaman

      Keep enough money in the bank for walcott

  23. Heydudes13

    Lol @ Downing getting an assist for that and Sigurdsson not

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

      Silva's "assist" was questionable too

  24. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Should I be WC with Benteke,Azpi,Yun,Zaba and Sterling with nothing ITB and 1FT?

  25. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Why did Downing get the assist when the defender touched the ball, then carroll retrieved it?

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

      BAPs as well...

    What are you looking forward to seeing tomorrow fantasy-wise? Not who do you have and want to score points but what will you be looking out for as a fantasy football scout.
    The sharpness of Di Maria is top of my list

      Walcott and seeing if Falcao/RVP/Rooney are worth it over Aguero given the fixtures.

      Amazing game. I love how Rodgers gets these small technical players to defend too. I appreciate that.
