Boyd should come with the Baines-esc sub text:
'Never start, always first sub'
+1
looks like everyone is up
Courtois Giliks
Fonte Wisdom PvA Wasilewski Bruce
Hazard Sanchez Di Maria Puncheon Marney
Aguero Costa Kane
RMWCT
Nice
Defence is gash, but the forward line looks very strong. Great options for captains.
I know! TV is pretty low. Fonte Wisdom PvA & Bruce will slot in most times
Why Courtouis? Still injured no? I'd rather go with cheaper gk and Che defender. Same front 8 as me though with the exception of Marney
I can't afford, mate. I've played the number game so poorly - as this is my first season. so, Courtois & Fonte is cheaper than Forster & Azpi/Cahill/Terry.
& Courtois could be back soon. 2 weeks before he plays next. hoping he recuperates by then
I am now going to wild card this week:
Wild Card:
Begovic, Fabianski
Ivanovic, Chambers, Rose, Clyne, Chester
Sánchez, Cazorla, Hazard, Silva, Chadli
Costa, Austin, Kane
0.1 ITB 🙂Is this the WC team? Don't rate it it is
Yes. Fair enough. 🙂
Na it's solids just not sure about the front 8 rotation. Obviously Costa not in your plans? Also not sold on chambers and chester. Rest looks good
Sorry aguero not costa
If only I could ...
Surely you can . I would lose Carzola for starters for Boyd or even A 4.2 and you keeper rotation seems excessive. Just grap pants krul
Sorry. Is not my way - but thank you for input.
Think chambers is nailed?
Needs aguero. Lose Austin. Downgrade a mid.Yes.
In an ideal world. More bang for your buck with the mids.
I like it, but no Aguero?
Expensive keepers... Theres quite a bit of value if you downgrade them, Ivan>Terry, Chadli>Punch
I will never have Terry in my team. Fixtures. But thank you.
Personal reasons? And palace fixtures seem better than Spurs to me?
Yes.

3-5-2? Good Squad but surely Kun needs to be in there at the cost of your squad players
Maybe.
thinking of doing the same - wc this week...
you wanna go without kun? tough, but I'm also tempted 🙂If I could figure a way ...
well, it would mean loose siva, who could be quite the differential as it looks like...
Indeed. 🙂
wow. nice differentials. these players aren't popular in these parts. no WBA defence & Kun?
No WBA - their fixtures are beyond redemption. Agüero I would like ...
their fixtures aren’t as good as I'd hoped, they aren't bad either. who would you rather have for Wisdom? Hutton?
Chester.
I've got Bruce.
Even more reason to get Chester, when Dawson takes Bruce's place.
Wisdom + Bruce - Chester + Baird?
wait & see if Baird is really nailed on
Dont like Spurs' defense. Can downgrade him to Hutton or Stoke's defender imo. Ivan, Chambers and Clyne will play most of the weeks...
I don't like the Spur's defence either. Or Pochettino. But their fixtures are awesome. Won't double on Stoke.
Fixtures wont matter if he sits on (your) bench every week 😉
Rose has very interesting attacking stats, and is nailed when fit.
Agreed. He is attacking... But he is rarely going to be part of that starting XI. Ivanovic and Clyne will start always. Chester and Chambers has some good games too.
P.S. Can you please recommend a "out of the box" forward and a midfielder, only for this week. 17.3m is budget 🙂 Thanks!HOLMES?
Pellè and Cazorla?
I would say Sterling/Coutinho - but he is playing us! 😛 😉Thanks! Considering Pelle too. Have Cazorla, so not an option 😉
Would like to get Coutinho over Sterling, is that fine?
West Ham havent kept single clean sheet in away games ðŸ˜Yes, I think that is, for one week only.
Cheers! Let me know if any new name pop up, no matter how much "out of the box" he is 😛
Stoke have such a kind run you could maybe go just Bego and save a million on Fab downgrade? I like Chester, will be bringing him in in 2 weeks, but I think Chambers may rotate with Bellerin, especially for the easy home games. 2 Spurs would also be a worry, a la yesterday and countless other matches where they flatter to deceive.
Too risky for me. Don't agree on Chambers. I agree, but Spurs fixtures are just awesome.
Is there a cheaper alternative to cover the odd game you'll need Bego cover? The money could come in handy somewhen.
They are indeed awesome fixtures, but that'll make the blanks even more heartbreaking when they inevitably happen.I will look again.
Just an idea. I know you'll have been pretty thorough though.
Sunderland are possible. But they also have the worst defence in the league ...
No Aguero therefore it's weak. You've spent too much on GK, defence and you've given yourself a benching headache every week. Bit of a mess imo.
4/10Thank you for your views.
Surprised about all the Kun talk seeing as he could easily hobble off again today. Good team imo, lots of options in attack. Keep an eye on which second Arsenal midfielder you want to own, nothing against Caz but he may find himself getting fewer minutes. Of course if that happens there'll be no other one you could really afford but plenty of options elsewhere!
Indeed, Somalian, that is the crux of my problem. But if I replace Chester with Bruce, it gives me a bit more wriggle - room.
sorry, is Bruce nailed? I've got him in on WC
Not very, but more so than some.
aye! so OK pick then?
Dunno. Have just switched back to Chester.
how does Wisdom + Bruce - Chester + Baird sound?
Of course that would be a slight risk but if we put our faith in nepotism it should pay us back. 😉
If your selling value for Caz is 8.3 then that extra money could turn him into a Ramsey or a Wally. Either could be very nice to own. :DaYeppers.
Probably the worst goalkeeper combo possible! Both defences are muck! Ignore fixtures for crap defences. They don't suddenly become good defences over night. How many clean sheets has begovic all season? I got one out of him for first 9 or 10 weeks I think for his great fixtures. Just pick Forster or de gea and 4.0 or go panti and another cheap keeper. Panti great fixtures too.
As for no aguero, I suspect it's a windup!You obviously have done little or no research. You certainly have not looked at the ticker. If you can't give good advice - don't bother.
- UFPL Stick or Twist?
Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic
UFPL Stick or Twist
Which players failed for you yesterday and which players do you have coming in?
Any Costa captainers? Guessing you are sticking. What about Kane/Hazard/Fabregas captainers - who are you sticking the armband on?
Had Rooney (c). Have brought in Aguero with the armband. Only have Sanchez, Aguero and Chester today.
my c is on sanchez atm (also captained rooney), will have to hide as kun plays anyway (fpl) reasons.
I went for Kane so easy swap to Aguero. Got Naismith as last chance saloon m3 captain if that fails. Must admit I'm enjoying the transfer window - really good to get rid of all my red flagged players - and have a playing goal keeper for the first time in weeks.
Where are you ranked Jonty?
1,175th not great but not bad. Top 5% or so. Have learned a lot this season, next season I'll get to grips with the loans much better, the top players have used them to really good effect.
Fair enough. Plenty of dead teams are helping you out, no doubt.
Good experience for next season. Might give it a go. 🙂
Captained Di Maria which was a fail, also bought in double Southampton defence which failed..
Have Aguero, Sanchez, Downing, Kos coming in today for Rooney, Kane, Boyd, Bertrand.
Split on who to captain today, currently on Sanchez but really tempted by Downing.. Aguero too but worried about his minutes..
saints were always likely to concede after keeping a clean sheet last week. just the way it goes. doubling up always fails.
Erikson capt, have Aguero, Sanchez and Silva today,80pts so far.
yawn.
on 77 pts,costa cap.still with kompany, wisdom, silva an giroud to play,the transfers have been a blessing,to many red flagged players in squad !
Stick on Costa for definite. Have aguero but hope he blanks. Dropped 33 place to 43rd last week but yesterday recovered some of that and currently lie in 30th.
Only 1 transfer made from January's allocation so far so hoping that will stand to me long term
RMWCT (£0.6 itb, low TV)
Forster - Elliot
Terry - PVA - Hutton - Wisdom - Wasilewski
Sanchez - Hazard - Sterling - Puncheon - JWP
Aguero - Costa - Kane
like the jwp differential. maybe lose elliot as he's unlikely to play
Just a 4.0 keeper! Will play Forster
nice. I like. balanced! not sure bout sterling, but it's a nice selection to make
Had £9.0 to spend on 3rd mid, looking for a bit of a differential and with Sturridge returning I think Sterling could be good
solid! don't think Sturridge will hit form immediately. but it's a nice team
This^ I'm gonna bring Sterling back in my squad when Daniel is back. His form will definetly go up with a fast and rapid striker ahead. You've got strong selection imo. Good luck!
On my WC now, Who is the best Midfielder to get - 7.0 million or lower.
Already got Chadli.Henderson
Puncheon
How many times has Siggy assisted Bony this season?
Do we think he's now very likely to be outshined by the likes of Puncheon and Chadli from now on?
Wildcarded Costa right out of my team.
After owning him for basically the whole season.
Went Aguero Kane Austin
Now am figuring out how to bring him right back in.
FMLthat makes two of us
3
rp
i kept saying i wouldnt bring costa back but im quickly losing ground as leader of my ML. hows this for for a -4:
ings>costa
fab>punch
debuchy>wasiLikevit
Like it damm I pad
Anyone waiting till early February to WC ?
The longer I wait the happier I am ( for example I am now won over to go Costa and Kun )I'm probably waiting unless there are a few injuries.
Four straight captain fails for me: 3,2,2,2. Horrific.
5 for me
1, 2, 3, 2 for me.
2,5,3,2 here.
Since gw 18 I have had:
-4,4,14,6, Aguero to come. The -4 I cluded me selling Rooney to Giroud for a hit and (c)
If I had captained my vc those weeks I'd have:
22,12,4,14,4
Massive differenceThose scores are already x2 obviously
5 for me
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/9523833 😕
2-2-2-(-4)-2-9-1-16-1-6-7-2-2-1-6-5-2-1-2-6-7
LOL @ who said Puncheon was a ridiculous pick.
Not sure anyone did did they? He's a great pick, lots got him in before this weekend myself included (sadly benched him though).
he is good but won't do it every week.
So.. RMWCT:
Foster, Krul
Terry, Clyne, PVA, Trippier, Baird
Hazard, Sanchez, ADM, Puncheon, Elia
Kane, Aguero, Costa
(0.1m)
Any suggestions?Yeah don't need such a strong 5 th mid pick one of Elia or punch and upgrade trippier
So maybe Boyd and Clyne instead of Elia and Trippier?
Bingo
You already have Clyne
Oops. Meant Clichy!
I like it as it is 🙂 maybe Pants over Foster tho
Those of us intelligent enough to leave the WC until after the next GW hat are we looking at? Probably sensible to start thinking about a squad. I supose Costa is the main issue
Very intelligently said 🙂
🙂 there's always someone that will bite
You could at least spell all the words right....
The word correctly would have been better suited there old chap
Thought that would have been too intelligent for you. 😉
Elia Puncheon or Downing going forward
Elia short term, Puncheon Mid term.
I think im keeping Downing out of my WC team as WHM fixtures arent great.I'm looking at Puncheon & someone else for my two mid mids. Neither of those two tho. Might go Eriksen
Is there anything glaring obvious that you would change with this WC team? -
Panti-Heaton
Terry, Bertrand, McAuley, Wollscheid, Wasliewski.
Hazard, Sanchez, Chadli, Punchon, Boyd.
Aguero, Costa, Kane.
I really despair when I see people planning on getting rid of Di Maria. He was in the World team of the Year and was Argentina's sports person of the year amongst other things. Why would you judge such a highly regarded player on two games after injury? If Aguro blanks today will people get rid of him because that will be his second game back, the same as Di Maria? I dont think so. Di Maria improved rapidly on last week, members can compare the stats. Give Di Maria some time and if he doesn't perform by all means get rid but now is not the time. If the footballing world think he is good enough for the team of the year then surely he can have a few weeks in our FPL teams.
If you were on a WC, would you find room for him in your team?
From an FPL point of view he wasnt great before his injury was he?I got him on my wc 2 gw's ago and regret it.
No admittedly he wasn't but you never know what could have been happening behind the scenes. I'm just saying that people should give him more time.
Oh and this is my team for the record.
Panti/Heaton
Gardos, Terry, Hutton,Widsom, PvA
Sanchez, Adm, Hazard, Chadli, Boyd
Kun, Costa, KaneGardos, bit risky, I dont think he will be long term.
I know, I'll play that by ear, I want Toby when he's back.
Problem is he's playing out of position. If United move back to 4 at the back and play Di Maria in midfield he would becoming a much more tempting pick again over this failed attempt to play him as a striker.
Totally agree with this
As do I sadly, I don't like seeing such a good player being played out of position.
Great player doesn't always translate to great fpl pick
Thanks, just needed this positive statement about him, to not think the next 2 weeks if i should go back to silva
What accolades he has won has absolutely no impact on his FPL-worthiness. Since his early lucky flurry he's been a bang average option. Of course the potential is there, but he and Utd as a whole (the main issue, really) look out of sorts and disjointed.
Our greatest mistake is not lioking at simple numbers like points scored in last 6 weeks; ADM has hardly any. Sideshow Bob was on World team of year - marketing nonsense. Having said that if LVG gets the formation right, giving ADM room to run he could prosper.
He's been injured for four of the last six..... Not marketing nonsense, players are voted for by footbaerrs and coaches all over the world.
And all their votes are incredibly biased.
For the record guys if you read the last line in summary of my post, I'm trying to get people to give him a chance for a couple of more weeks as I think that he could come good. I'm not advocating a spot for someone regardless of form. If he doesn't do well I'll kick him out. Please read my post properly, especially the last line.
Iniesta is in there as well. Also a great player. He doesn't score many goals either
David Luiz was on the team of the year 😉
And he was 4th choice CB at Chelsea.
Better options plain and simple in Haz, Sanchez, Fab & Silva (after Chelsea (
Have you not looked at my team? I have Haz Sanchez, Costa instead of Fab and I don't think Silva will benefit from Kun's return as he hasn't done well with him on the pitch historically.
If United changed formation I'd agree but this terrible setup kills them all as prospects and as such I will not own any of them for now.
I know this is being written in the shadow of Costa exploding, but is he really that essential? The alternative Chelsea trio of: Ivanovic, Fabregas and Hazard all have strong cases to be picked ahead of him. Ivan picked up another 10 points yesterday and is the highest scoring defender, Fabregas assisted again yesterday and has outscored Costa over the course of the season, as has Hazard who is on penalties and rivalling Sanchez for overall top scorer.
I did Costa > Kun as my free transfer last week and now considering whether to bring him back in or not. But all the reasons I took him out for are still sound, so does a one week explosion really change that and put him ahead of the other 3 in the pecking order? Having both him and Aguero unbalances your whole team.Firstly having him and Kun doesn't unbalance your team, I have both. Secondly why wouldn't you want a player who's scored 17 goals in your team? Thirdly, it's his first PL season so we may not have even seen the best of him.
It's not a case of 'not wanting' him. Of course everyone would want him in for those goals. The debate is whether he's that much better than the other Chelsea options to merit a spot given they've all either exceeded or more or less matched his points scores this season and for less money.
See above for my WC team, with Aguero & Costa, do you think this looks unbalanced?
I don't really like the idea of having to play two of Chadli/Puncheon/Boyd every week, no
That's your problem mate, I have both and don't have to. Look above.
Your defence is a bit frail, but nothing major. It's all personal preference really.
Yeh, Gardos is in instead of Toby. I could have a reshuffle and get another mid price defender but there's not many teams apart from Chelsea and Saints getting cleanses atm so I like the rotation as it gives me more chance of a clean sheet and I can adapt to the fixtures.
It's not my problem, I was responding to the other poster's question. And from their response below obviously this was a doubt for them as well. I'm not saying having Costa is a bad choice, I'm just debating the merits of it now that everyone is looking to squeeze him in alongside Aguero.
Yeah, thats the one thing that bothers me but I cant really see any other option if I want aguero & costa
Yup and that's the decision to be made. I'm undecided myself as to whether it's worth it or not. At the moment I have Fab and Haz and will either wildcard Costa back in (owned him nearly all season before now) or bring in Ivan.
While I was worried when he got his haul, it really doesn't hurt that much. The Costa owners don't own one of Cesc/Ivan/Terry so didn't really gain that much, plus the savings helped me get more points from other players. Missed out on probably 5 points or something, if that.
Add to that the fact that he was gifted one goal and Swansea's incompetence enhancing his haul, my stance hasn't changed tbh.
Maybe a bit different, but what do you think of this WC team?
Foster - Myhill
Clyne - Terry - Bertrand - Wisdom - PVA
Hazard - Sanchez - Di Maria - Chadli - Puncheon
Aguero - Austin - Kane
£1.2 ITB
Chadli and Puncheon rotates very well, so think it might be a good combination.i like it but id probably have cesc over ADM
That is the decision make, but I haven't had Fab in a long time now, so not too tempted by that price tag. United has also got some good fixtures coming up now, so no United cover could hurt me.
Not so different but nice team, though a double-up on Southampton and West Brom is a bit risky i think.
Do we think Kane will continue to do well?
Soldado playing yesterday worries me slightly.Need Soldado to get benched. 3 games before next GW should sort it out.
He could even get sold!
Even an Australian team wouldn't buy him.
read the BBC gossip column and Torres is on loan.
Me too and 3 cup games in a week will tire him out. I've learned these cheap strikers are fine but not captain material.
He won't play three cup games, he was rested midweek.
Keeping Costa basically means going Punch Downing + Ivan and 4 cheap defs. Whereas there's all sorts of upgrades if you go for Ings or Austin. Definitely won't be keeping Costa
Ive found an alternative to Puncheon, Chadli etc....
ADAM JOHNSON
BUR swa QPR WBA mun hul AVL whm NEW CPLWow, nice fixtures. Will play Panti, is PVA worth a go also or should I get Wolfscheid of Stoke for 4.5m?
Hmmm... Tripple Sunderland perhaps, reminds me of that DGW the other day..
Depends on the rest of your Def. We may start to play a 352 so with him being a wing back could see him boom. Hes a bit of a defensive liability tho
He's more pricey than Punch though. I brought him in but my budget defence was too woeful with him so had to save a few quid there.
Also keep it quiet. Could be a great differential.
He was mentioned an awful lot the last few days
Horror showing ytd with an overall GW ranking of 3m+... Should I activate WC this week or take a hit to get Costa in?
Hart Foster
Baines Chester Trippier Yun Caulker
Alexis Hazard Silva Sterling Downing
Carroll Kane Austin
Planning to do : Caulker + Carroll - > Costa and 4.5 DF (-4)a. Silva and Elia
Or
b. ADM and Boyd
?

Who would you rather have for just this week:
(A) Austin (stk), Kosc (AVL)
(B) Dummett (hul) Giroud (AVL)A.
B
Fab adm kane ---> sterling chadli costa?
No no no no no.
Thanks
Jason Puncheon reminds me of Robbie Earle back in the day.
You think he's gash, but he keeps popping up with goals and assists.Elia. Yay or Nay
Yay last week.
Now he's an option for 4th/5th mid.
His previous record wasn't great and Mane will be back soon,
I'm sitting on the fence another while.Would make Costa happen is all.
And don't want to bring in Downing.
Henderson? Puncheon?
Anyone bringing in Costa before the City game?
Plenty will. 🙂
Some people are taking him out, some bringing him in. Is Hazard ana Costa too much?
That's what I have atm. Chelsea defender incoming soon.
Plenty that have their WC active I'd say.
I own but I could see that game as 0-0/1-1 possibly I'd be in no rush unless he's due a rise or two.
Anybody watch Sanogo play yesterday? Worth keeping an eye on?
