    Turns out I'm Wcding

    So, here's some questions!

    Best 2 x 3.9s are Wasileweskyeyeye and Baird right?

    Krul / Hamer

    Evans - Terry - Clichy - Wasil - Baird

    Haz - Sanchez - Boyd - Siggy - DiMaria

    Costa - Kane - Aguero

    0.0 in the bank.... I had no intention of Wcding but the rises are slightly making it happen and Krul was the only viable cheap keeper...

    Picture form - http://i.imgur.com/kt5FU7u.png

    Players out - Guzan, Dummett, Bartley, Silva, Eriksen, and Austin

    Any thoughts?

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Get rid of clichy

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

        Just brought him in for Zaba! Not great fixtures but looking past next 2 to keep em in

        I forgot to mention Zaba out in the post above too*

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

      Change Clichy for Toby, get Panti or Foster for Krul, upgrade Wasil a bit, and there you go, you got yourself a template.

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

        cheers lads

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

    That West Ham goal was all down to Carroll. If you consider that, Downing's form has been shocking lately.

    1. daveoafc77
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      shocking is a touch strong

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

        Bit harsh 😛

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

      im a non-owner but i think he's been good actually. still getting shots on goal

  3. daveoafc77
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    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 fellow fantasy football scout.
    The sharpness of Di Maria is top of my list

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

      I hope for RvP or Falcao to score to skew people's Wildcards 🙂

      1. daveoafc77
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        i think some serious spanners could be thrown into the works!

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

      if alexis dropes too deep with giroud and ramsey back, and if ADM is a better shout than Silva and fabregas

      1. daveoafc77
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        yea good point with Sanchez, hadnt given any thought to shipping him but Giroud changes Arsenals play

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

      Want to see how Arsenal line up. Not sure if he's back already but I think Ozil will really flourish with two quick players on either side of him in Walcott and Alexis, like he did at the start of last season.

      1. daveoafc77
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        If they get everyone fit and firing when Arse have a run of good games they could all be fantasy gold

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

      Adm, Bertrand's position, Moses/Bojan, Wally

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

      Rooney holds the key. If I'm not convinced tomorrow I may hit the WC button. Especially if AdM looks back to his best.

      1. daveoafc77
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        shipped him as soon as he was playing in midfield, the guy knows how score FPL points regardless though!

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

          Yep. If he's at least playing as a #10 he's still golden and I'm confident in him keeping up with Costa. If not, well, time to reassess.

  4. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    A. Clyne and Wasil
    B. Alderweireld and Cameron

    Panti
    Terry - PVA - Baird - xxx - xxx

  5. Tmel

    Just watching motd on delay, surely Guzan made enough saves to get save points today?!

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

      Didn't see but FPL loves a good proper save to make it count

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

    40 points today ( 900k GW rank)+ 9 to come off the bench.

    Anybody have a rough estimate of GW rank for 49pts?
    Just Sanchez tomm..

    1. daveoafc77
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      will be dropping tomoz whatever it is

    2. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      50 points is 237,258

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

        Cheers.
        That's the info I need.

        Hopefully the fall wont be too huge.

    3. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      49 is 264k

  7. Sweetpea

    Aguero rising or price protected?

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

      Looks like not rising from fantasy fix site.
      Kane rising tho

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

        Still some hours left and % rises quickly. Over 85 % to rise now

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

      Not price protected imo.

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

        When flag comes off price frozen for 10 days was the old rule I think.

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

          Red flag removed a week ago and protected for 7 days I believe

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

          Went red to yellow.

        3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Flag turned yellow between red and green, on the 7th i f I remember, then green on the 9th.

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

      Price not protected - might rise tonight but if not definitely tomorrow night

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

      He's rising

  8. Mattymo23
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Kinda scared to get rid of Costa but it must be done

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

      I think it's the correct decision

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

      I dont think he should be dropped..
      fixtures too good to ignore.

      He was class today.
      Very very unlucky not to score a brace or hat trick

    3. daveoafc77
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      why must it?

      1. Mattymo23
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Aguero

  9. Heydudes13

    Wise to bench Siggy this week?

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

      Not sure, he could do a Kane

      1. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Doubt it tbh.

    2. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Thinking about playing Boyd over him.

  12. Marty McFly
    • 13 Years

    Does Baird look safe for starts now? Could be excellent value and have bonus or potential.

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

      Not safe at all.

      A bandwagon that could derail in spectacular fashion.

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

      Not really. WBA fans said he was poor on forums. Think Wisdom is safer.

  13. The Consultants

    Hey everyone!

    Why don't I see any Ings love on here?

    2. copps

    3. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I just had a 1 GW pre WC punt on him. 9 points later and I'm feeling a little Ings love.

      Yes it looks a good move.

      1. copps

        Can do Foster, Terry, Chadli > Krul, Wasil, Di Maria
        Worth it?

  16. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years

    Kane (C)?

    1. super zlatan

      Thinking downing.

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

      Aguero is there though. I remember the last time a team from North London visited the Etihad. 38 points.

    3. Mílanista

      1. Heydudes13
        • 14 Years

        Might leave off WC'ing this week and just do Sakho > Ings.

    4. Reedy
      • 15 Years

      Probably yes

    5. Coaly

    Adrian

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

    Downing has to go...

    Those fixtures after Hull are awful.

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

    Zouma taking up one of those valuable Chelsea spots is madness, right?

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Luis will be good depending on the fitness of Azpi

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

      Chelsea are the best team in the league and have nailed on, consistent points scorers in every position. Go big on them.

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

        But I'm allergic to Terry. So it's basically Zouma or no one for their D as I'm not paying a bomb for Iva.

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

          Ivan's worth it, will be the top scoring defender this season.

    3. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It's not so much the Chelsea spot...it's the slot in your team that is too important to risk on him.

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

        Even if the rest of the defense and bench(Boyd) is super strong?

        1. Reedy
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Yes but that's just my approach. I won't even pick a non-playing 2nd 'keeper

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

        I only have two Chelsea but I wouldn't want any dead weight in my squad. The 15 must all play

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

    Last one tonight...

    Would you wc to do the following :

    Out - Costa, Downing, Clichy, Dummett, Elliot, Guzan, Silva

    In - Aguero, Boyd, Terry, Baines, Mannone, Pantilimon, ADM

    Would leave me with:

    Pantilimon, Mannone
    Terry, Wisdom, Bertrand, Baines, Hutton
    Hazard, Fabregas, Sanchez, ADM, Boyd
    Austin, Aguero, Kane

    ?

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

      I would get rid of Baines. He takes up so much money!

      And also remove mannone, as hes not playing.

      I have a very similar team to yours, and I just used WC and traded out costa, bego, yaya, hutton for Aguero, Pantilimon, ADM, and Terry

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

        Baines I figured could be a punt, my team value is quite high so whilst others are rolling with Wisdom and the like I thought I could take a gamble on Baines hitting some form. Mannone is there as backup to Panti, as Sunderlands other keeper.

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

      Beautiful

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

    A) Keep Austin and upgrade siggy or downing
    B) Go with Kane Costa Kun upfront

    Decisions.

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

      B

  22. Franktomet

    RMT / Advice please:

    Just activated my Wildcard so I have endless transfers this week

    Pantilimon / Foster

    Terry / Clichy / Bertrand / Clyne / Wisdom

    Sanchez / Hazard / Di Maria / Silva / Boyd

    Aguero / Austin / Kane

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

      Great defence

  23. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Hi all. Many on here stil holding on to WC? I hav zaba,azpi,baines, and no aguero yet. 45 pts wit sanchez to go. any point waiting to wildcard?

  24. Qubit
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    This game really is infuriating at times! Original plan to have Wisdom and play Chadli would have seen me 9 points (a lot in a week like this!) better off than opting for Pocog and playing Aguero at the last minute.

    Azpi injury didn't help my mood much either 😀 So hard explaining that to the other half!

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

    Will Cahill drop this week?

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

      Worried about this too.
      Prob yes.

      Have Zabaleta as well to make things worse.
      Going to hold both tho as the priority is bringing in Aguero this week.

  26. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Hart
    Baines JT Wisdom Hutton Dummett
    Hazard Sanchez Silva Sterling Downing
    Costa Kane Austin

    Best way to get Aguero? Any of A, B or C option tempting??

    A Sterling, Costa to Kun, Chadli (-4)
    B Baines, Costa to Kun, Bertand (-4)
    C Sanchez, Austin to Kun, Boyd (-4)
    D WC

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted to do C.

      Sanchez selling price 10.2, current price 10.4....I can get him back when I WC the week after

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

      A will do.

    Costa has scored a goal more than Aguero and 2 more than Austin...
    Has just 2 assists less than both
    Has started 5 more games than aguero and the same number as Austin
    And has scored less points overall compared to both.. 😯 .. wth

      He's overrated. I said so before the season and got slated for it. Some coming around but he's still well overrated.

        Highest scorer in the league so not overrated.. it's just that the fpl system just does not suit him

          In reality as well. There are quite a few strikers better than him. You'd think he's at Ronaldo or RvP level going by the fans/media.

      See my little snippet of info below.

      Costa is so useless with BAPs & YC's that it actually ruins him.

      If he didn't have 7? YC's & got say 1 BP per goal (15?), then he'd be 22 better off.

      Which is a big difference!

      A 2 match ban looms.

    Costa PPG 5.7
    Fabregas PPG 5.7

    Fabregas is cheaper.

    I'm selling Costa.

    Bye Costa.
