These are difficult times for Granville. Sadly for him, his prediction that Diego Costa’s studs played into my hands along with Emre Can’s ankle proved correct – the Chelsea villain pushed me into a Gameweek 23 Wildcard and I cashed in.

It left Granville spitting feathers and 92-points behind but he remains defiant. Even with the millions draining from his squad via his active Wildcard, my resolute co-host is not giving up on keeping the season alive and the rivalry as bitter as ever.

We weigh up Granville’s latest options in his quest to close the gap: analysing the contest between Sturridge and Aguero for our place in our forward lines, check in on the fallout from the Sanchez injury, whilst wading through the usual regulars ahead of another Gameweek.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Guys advice here please:

    Foster - (Pants)
    Terry - Moreno - PVA - (Bert - Wasil)
    Sanchez - Haz - ADM - Chadli - (Boyd)
    Aguero(c) - Kane - Austin.

    I got 2FT and 0.1ITB.

    I just noticed Sanchez is out again for this week. Bert is out too.

    Should I swap these guys out? Bert especially. If so, who to?

    If I use my 2 FT now, I can have 2 FT again before the DGW

      • 11 Years

      Sanchez -> Silva
      Bert -> Clyne

    A.) chelsea mid double (Oscar,haz)->AVL away.
    B.)arsenal triple(Caz,wally,giroud)->TOT away
    C.)arsenal mid double(wally,caz)
    D.)City double(Silva,aguero)->HUL home

    Hello

    Quick question. I have 1245 points overall. I am 91k overall (rubbish I know). Someone in my mini league has 1239 points overall and is 50k?

    How is that possible?

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

      There is clearly only a 6 point spread between 50k and 91k that's how it's possible.
      OR perhaps because he's scored more points he's higher than you

      1. Niz Super X1
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I have 6 points more than him but he is 41k above me?

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

          Oh, post the links that's not possible OR there's a bug and it needs reporting to FPL Towers

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

      It's not. Post the links.

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

        Ignore me, thought you said your rival had less points than you!

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

          Actually, don't ignore me, I read it right the first time. Post the links.

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

            Seriously dude, he's 104k not 50k (although he is 50k in England).

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

          He's 104k not 50k

        2. JWF
          • 16 Years

          See above

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

      Take it as a positive, means you're only 6 points off the top 50k

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

      he's not 50k, he's 104.5k

    on a WC and changing my keepers, currently have Forster & McCarthy, which is the best combo to replace them with

    a) panti & foster
    b) panti & krul

    1. NULL-X-VOID
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      a

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

      Panti & Foster imo

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

    Kane Aguero ???

    On WC; Defo or Giroud?

    Tempted to go Defoe over Giroud - Fixtures are tempting me, and also 2.3m less. But Giroud obviously the safer pick.

    1. Jimbo123
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Giroud for me, just

  6. ratski

    Could I kindly have your opinion on this wc team
    Foster, myhill
    Terry, Jones, bellerin, pva, naughton
    Adm, silva, wally, haz. Boyd
    Aguero, giroud, Kane

    Plan to do terry and wally to Sanchez and 4.5 def in two gw

    Any news on Fab?

    I've had him since start so 9.3 SP and CP is 9.6m

    Tempted to bring in Walcott instead, but Fab has been dependable..

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

      Most likely out of the next 2 according to reports.

      1. ViperStripes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

    1. NULL-X-VOID
      • 12 Years

      West brom's def is getting stronger .

      1. BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Correct. Would you play PVA or Boyd off the bench this week?

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Pva

    2. Epic Fail

      Not really as Burnley are crap, but more chance than normal.

      1. BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Play PVA or Boyd off the bench then?

  10. Flynniesta
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Try again..
    Is bringing Remy in for a couple of weeks on wildcard mad? Should I stck with Defoe?

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

      Id go for neither.

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

        Still tinkering, have the standard Aguero & Kane, 3rd striker up fir grabs. Thought of Defoe as a worthwhile long-term punt or Remy prospering whilst Costa's out...mmm. Also scratching my bonce over Fab & Sanchez

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't get Remy. Defoe seems ok

    3. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No to Remy, yes to Defoe. Great fixture next week

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

        Cheers guys, food for thought

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

          For 2 weeks Remy is a very good shout. Will start for Chelsea (Drogba is still not 100%), played well against City and has a good scoring record. If I wanted a 2 week punt I'd seriously consider him.

      But not super accurate at the moment due to wildcard season.

    Daniel.. I agree that the forum was better a few years ago but the state of the forum for better or worse has nothing to do with the fact that any abuse you get is self inflicted and not down to the people on the forum. I remember you from years ago and you get worse every year. Grow up

  20. NIGHTHIKER - I Kane, I Shaw…
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Here's the plan - keep Sanchez for now on the bench, then wait for Arsenal vs Leicester lineups and if he doesn't return to the starting XI, ship him. Who for though? Which Arsenal midfielder is least likely to be replaced by Sanchez when he returns to the team...

    Obviously Cazorla's set pieces give him an advantage but he does naturally seem lower in the pecking order than Ozil and Walcott.

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds like a good plan.. I'm keeping based on this. Only likely to drop .1 for when we see lineups on Tues

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I have Walcott so I'd go Cazorla

    Simple questions if you dont mind?

    1) most points this week... Rosicky[Vs Tottenham] or Colback[Vs Stoke]

    ?

    2) How many pts will Bellerin get this weekend? Vs Tottenham

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years

      Colback. Only because rosicky probably won't play.

      1

        Do you not think with Champs league coming up he may play Rosicky? rest Walcott?

        1. Ruth_NZ

          Walcott needs games to gain match fitness. Seems to be lasting about 70 mins at the moment.

      Rosicky 1 - Colback 2 - Bellerin 12 (rather 1 or 2)

    Sanchez out for a hit make sense?

      If you think the replacement will score 4 more than your first sub, sure.

        (But the chances are really against you that they will.)

      I shouldve done it last week, but didnt. Doing it this week instead.

      So its going to end poorly.

      Depends who for. Not just for the sake of it.

    Has there ever been any moment in this world when at least two countries aren't fighting?

    1. Bubz

      No

      No. I fact there have been no periods in the last hundred years when at least a dozen countries are not at war.

      Probably not but fwiw this world is consistently getting safer, more peaceful and more civilized. Life really hasn't been better for a lot of us

    4. Jönny

      Sure. Prior to the existence of countries.

      Of course back then we just butchered each other for different reasons.
