    10 fecking places.

    1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Awful top of the page. Apologies.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      11 years, 7 months ago

      it's hard at the top

    7 red arrows in last 8 weeks. Any advice?

    de Gea, Heaton
    Ivanovic, Bertrand, Wollscheid, van Aanholt, Naughton
    Hazard, Cazorla, Eriksen, Boyd, Silva
    Aguero, Kane, Austin

    1. Jeremiah
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe ship Caz.

  3. Iceball

    Austin -> Murray, lets do it?
    Austin has Chelsea and then blank...Murray has SUN (A) WBA (H) Hull (H) and then tough program.

    1. Royal5
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Remy?

      1. Sess!
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Costa might only be out for 2 weeks.

        1. Royal5
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Hmmm.. Could end up a wasted transfer then. And it's impossible to make anything out of Mourinho's comments. If he starts against QPR and United it could still be worth the gamble though..

      2. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Costa could be back next game so Remy maybe not playing?

    2. Hughes Your Daddy
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Agree, Murray with 5 goals in 5 games kind of essential now, just wish I got him in 2 weeks earlier 🙁

      1. Nickofoz
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Hmm. Will Jedi walk straight back into the starting XI? If so, for who?

        1. Hughes Your Daddy
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Very good question. Based on his stats he was one of the best 5 midfielders in Europe based on interceptions/goals etc up until end of last year (http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2014/10/29/jedinak-rated-europes-best-midfield-player) he then Captains the Aussies to win the Asian Cup 2015, but the truth is with Mac and Ledley in midfield we are allot more balanced, is a real tough call for Pards, a nice headache to have for sure,dont think he can drop either on our current form.

          1. Nickofoz
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks mate. If he didn't walk straight back in it would be good for Murray (on pens), but it's hard to see that considering he is captain.

  4. Jeremiah
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Save FT? 🙂

    Myhill
    Alder - Ivan - Rose
    Silva - Hazard - Eriksen - Siggy
    Aguero - Kane - Giroud

    Foster - PVA - Naughton - Amoebi

    1. Margarido
      11 years, 7 months ago

      of course.

      No WC?

      1. Jeremiah
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Yep still have it.

    2. Sess!
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Lose rose maybe or do foster to davies.

      1. Jeremiah
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Any suggestions for Rose replacement?

        1. Sess!
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Bertrand

  5. Gunner77-
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Well it looks like the only team that can catch Chelsea is us. I have no idea how this has happened...

    1. Margarido
      11 years, 7 months ago

      7 successive victories?

      1. Sess!
        11 years, 7 months ago

        10 wins in 11 games.

    2. Jeremiah
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Its great 😀 Would need a massive slip up on Chelsea's behalf mind....

    3. Bojaninho
      11 years, 7 months ago

      madness right...now consider the videos we saw at stoke

    4. Gunner77-
      11 years, 7 months ago

      If only we had some consistency...

      1. Dr Dream
        11 years, 7 months ago

        If only you didn't have so many injury prone players....You'd have had a good shout for the title this season otherwise...

        1. Gunner77-
          11 years, 7 months ago

          I think defeat againsspuds will cost us so much in the end...

          1. Dr Dream
            11 years, 7 months ago

            It's a shame that you won't in it. Arsenal and Wenger are quality. What do you think about the stick the Arsenal fans give him sometimes ?

    5. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I'd really like to see that race happen. Throw in United as well . Would be great if it came down to the final week, with all 3 possible.

    6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      11 years, 7 months ago

      would love to shove it up mourinho

    7. Ruth_NZ
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Not really. It looks like Chelsea can't be caught, that's why the bookies have them at 1/25 and 1/33. You are playing for 2nd.

      1. Gunner77-
        11 years, 7 months ago

        If Wenger bought a centre half in august instead of January it might have been different, the stubborn git

        1. Ruth_NZ
          11 years, 7 months ago

          4th place is a trophy so I guess he gets a knighthood for 2nd, right?

          This is all part of the planned agony for Gooners fans. Every time you get near to getting him out the team improves and he re-establishes his hold. Hopes rise. Then the following season they are cruelly dashed again.

          Gabriel is nowhere near good enough, you still need a top centre half. Flamini is inadequate cover for Coquelin, you still need a top CM/DM. And you have zero cover for Giroud - I don't think Welbeck counts. So you need a top striker as well.

          How many of those do you think Wenger will buy in the summer? Because you won't be winning the PL without them. Much to admire about Arsenal but them's the facts as far as I see them.

    8. Not Irish
      11 years, 7 months ago

      How do you figure? We're gonna do you at Old Trafford you know.

      1. Ruth_NZ
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I think you might well humiliate City this weekend. Could be the end for Pellegrini.

        1. Not Irish
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Yip.

      2. Ryan

        11 years, 7 months ago

        They are too far ahead unfortunately. With a game in hand against Leicester thats an extra 3pts. Thats a long way ahead of the pack. Its too far gone now unless disaster happens at Chelsea

        1. Not Irish
          11 years, 7 months ago

          They're due some justice though.

  6. Judas
    11 years, 7 months ago

    If you had the money to do Austin ---> Rooney, would you do it?

    People moaning about Rooney's fixtures but the Manchester Derby and Chelsea really aren't too bad in my opinion

    1. Sess!
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah utd fixtures are ok. Could be gold.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      11 years, 7 months ago

      what happens when rvp is back?

      1. Royal5
        11 years, 7 months ago

        United start losing.

      2. Judas
        11 years, 7 months ago

        He wont be back for another 2 weeks and why would LVG drop Rooney back in his current form?

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          11 years, 7 months ago

          I wouldn't either but lvg has a thing for rvp

          1. Judas
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Mata is the man in thw middle atm so no need for Rooney there. If rvp did come back him and roo would play together

    3. Jeremiah
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Go for it, form over fixtures.

    4. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Chelsea away is a bad fixture. Think he's a great option for City (H) though, as one would expect goals there.

    5. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. I can see lots of goals incoming

    6. Judas
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Im chasing and first of all think he is a great option and second of all think there is pretty much zero risk involved as Austin has Chelsea then a blank and is very cheap to get back after

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Not chasing but think I'm doing the same thing with 2FT. It certainly looks good. 🙂

  7. Sz21
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Ivan/ Siggy in for Sanchez/ Pieters and captaining Aguero really worked 🙁
    Ranking has more than doubled and plenty more to come.

    One of those days when an FPL team and real life supporting team are at very long odds with each other.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      11 years, 7 months ago

      judge the move over the next few weeks, probably for the best and will even itself out

    2. Jeremiah
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Ivan & Siggy for Sanchez & Bellerin here. Also switched from Haz to Aguero (C) 😀

  8. FPL Daniel
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Damn that redirect it is so annoying. I tried everything:

    Scanned with:
    - Microsoft Security Essentials
    - Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
    - tdsskiller from Kaspersky
    - HitmanPro
    - adwcleaner
    - EmsisoftEmergencyKit (pending)

    Tried several tutorials on youtube, reset settings on chrome, re-installed it, rebooted several times and again problems. It is soooo annoying. My Browsers keeps redirecting to some strange pages and it is completely random, sometimes redirect sometimes not.

    Please help.
    Any advice?

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer your juuuuhuuuu posts.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      11 years, 7 months ago

      it's probably adware/virus

      Download spybot search and destroy and run that. It takes long time but usually works for me. I was having my homepage being re-directed all the time and solved it

      1. FPL Daniel
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Will try that. I really don't want to bother with formating the computer. Will ask my friend IT to help me tomorrow.

        if anyone has bright idea it is appreciated

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          11 years, 7 months ago

          you don't need to format the hard disk. It's been picked up by a site you have visited recently. It will take time but you can clear it. Shut down all browsers and run spybot/update it and then remove risks (you will see many adware loaded on your machine, most are not risks but one probably is causing the redirect)

          1. FPL Daniel
            11 years, 7 months ago

            http://www.safer-networking.org/mirrors/

            Which one to download?

            1. Somalion
              11 years, 7 months ago

              Any of them but I suggest the Safer Networking Limited downloads since they are the actual gang who make SpyBot. Then you'll get a load of options to pay/donate for it etc. but you can click on "download" and it'll start.

            2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
              11 years, 7 months ago

              any of those top ones or try old version 1.6.2

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Ask a professional?

      Or just get a Mac

    4. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Have your turnt it off and back on again?

      1. FPL Daniel
        11 years, 7 months ago

        What do you mean? I am not sure I get it. If it is about reboot I've done it

        1. Parm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, I have no more ideas. Just pray to Pandev.

          1. FPL Daniel
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Will do 😉 😛

            Thanks

    5. Somalion
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Spy bot Search and destroy for Spyware/Adware.
      Install AdBlock for Chrome.
      You've already run Malwarebytes but possibly look at running Avast! antivirus, it is free to download.

      1. FPL Daniel
        11 years, 7 months ago

        That is the problem. I can't install AdBlock for Chrome. It doesn't allows me. I keep pressing the + button but nothing. Will try Spybot.

        Thanks

        1. Somalion
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Hmm. Very odd.

          This may sound absolutely ridiculous but have you tried installing adblock while acting as an administrator? I'm sure you know how to do that but just in case, right click on the Chrome icon and click "Run as administrator" and then try to install AdBlock, it might help.

          Avast! is a good antivirus software as well, completely free so worth looking at if the problem persists but I'd have thought Malwarebytes would have found whatever it was if it was serious malware.

          1. FPL Daniel
            11 years, 7 months ago

            thanks. will do it. But I can install all other extensions, the AddBlock is a problem. Probably the malware installed is preventing 🙁

            1. Somalion
              11 years, 7 months ago

              Yeah it does sound really strange Daniel, and I'm certainly no expert on all of this. 🙁

              I think SpyBot is the way to go here, I started using it many years ago when I had similar issues and it really is excellent so hopefully that will sort you out!

    6. GreennRed
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Backup essential data, sounds dodge. Don't try restoring any files later without a good AV scan.

      Do other browsers cause same issue.

      Could be a pesky update.

      Run a system restore to the point where everything was good before.

      1. FPL Daniel
        11 years, 7 months ago

        system restore could be nice option. Now trying with Firefox to see if it is ok. I think when I browse in incognito mode seems fine.

        1. FPL Daniel
          11 years, 7 months ago

          I reinstalled chrome several times and installed addblock. Now it allowed me. Hope I am fine now

    7. Billy Gilmore
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Have you looked at what extensions you have installed? Just disable them one by one and see if one of them is causing the problem and uninstall it.

  9. Dr Dream
    11 years, 7 months ago

    So another fail for Aguero. Would it be fair to say that given Giroud's form he would have to score a brace every game to justify paying so much more for him than the former donkey ?...I can't for the life of me think why I have him when Giroud will probably outscore him anway even if he returns to form.

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I'm just annoyed Costa is out. Would have been very interesting to see how people reacted to Aguero with Costa around. Most would have sold I imagine, now many will hold.

      1. Dr Dream
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah..Aguero > Costa seemed an easy move for the DGW financially. The game seems very complicated now with many ways to jump.

        1. Chelsea Dagger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 7 months ago

          The more complex the better. Break the template

      2. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah Agüero > Costa would've let me had Giroud instead of Austin or Kane.

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Totally agree. It just feels so wrong getting Giroud in with the blank in 33.
      I think I have to boringly stick with Aguero as his fixtures are still great plus I have an injured Costa to deal with and an upcoming Austin blank GW...

      1. Dr Dream
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I know..it's strange. Giroud along with Kane are obviously under priced..and by a long way. What would you say their real FPL value should be based on their returns ?

    3. Not Irish
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Rooney Giroud Kane

      The way forward

      1. Not Irish
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Remy until the DGW though. Then Gru.

      2. Dr Dream
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Rooney Giroud Murray(form ad fixtures)

        Kane is just a bit dull now...10 a side for all t he moment..

        1. Not Irish
          11 years, 7 months ago

          I did that once. Won't do it again.

  10. odannyboys
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero to remy?

    1. odannyboys
      11 years, 7 months ago

      he will score against utd and leicester.

      1. Sess!
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Too short term for my liking. Might not even start against utd.

  11. Not Irish
    11 years, 7 months ago

    That Silva BAP was massive. Just about held serve today.

    Tekkers v Austin tomorrow. To the death.

    1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      11 years, 7 months ago

      You (c) Benteke right? Think that could go well for you.

      1. Somalion
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Could do. Will go better for Austin (c) though. 😉

        1. Not Irish
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Do one!

          1. Somalion
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Come and get it. 😎

        2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Aye. Just see Benteke scoring more points than Austin in that game alone. Not overall though 😉

          1. Somalion
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Red card for Tekkers, written in the stars 😉

            1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
              11 years, 7 months ago

              Would be fine by me. I (c) Austin and don't own Benteke. 🙂

              1. Not Irish
                11 years, 7 months ago

                A curse on both your houses.

                1. Somalion
                  11 years, 7 months ago

                  Sounds like karma is going to bite you bad 😉

      2. Not Irish
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Yip. It really should. Austin's karma should be well used up.

    2. Viper
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I went up about 1k today with 5 points!

      Surprising!

      1. Somalion
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I was very surprised altogether. OR rank increased, GW rank shot up 70k places thanks to the 5 points. 😆

      2. Not Irish
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Only Silva's three points here and I only dropped 200 places. 😆

  12. Jeremiah
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Rose > Clyne/Bert?

    Already have Alder 🙂

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Vs. Hull? O yeah

    2. Sess!
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

  13. GreennRed
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Glen '5/5' Murray.

    The old Harry Kane or the new Rickie Lambert ?

    😉

    1. Royal5
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Latter. BR to pick him up in the summer 🙂

  14. Puyol Pants Up
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Gomis (EVE, lei) , Berahino (LEI, cry) or Murray (sun, WBA) for the next two?

    1. Jeremiah
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Gomis

    2. Royal5
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Murray got form but not too keen on those fixtures..

      1. Royal5
        11 years, 7 months ago

        0,1% ownership though

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Gomis has 0.5%, both are great differentials.

          1. Royal5
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Can you trust him though? 5 goals and 1 assist in 27 games is not exactly impressive.

            1. Royal5
              11 years, 7 months ago

              Ronaldo did this in his last game 😛

            2. Puyol Pants Up
              11 years, 7 months ago

              You can't trust anyone, it's just the way he dispatched both his goals shows that he is growing in confidence.

                Not watched Swansea lately tbh. Could be worth a punt if he and Siggy has started to find each other.

    I have 2 FTs again this week, Is Austin -> Gomis the logical move? (Remy just 0.3m too expensive)

    Pantilimon Krul

    Terry Bertrand PVA Naughton Bruce

    Sanchez Eriksen Hazard Silva Boyd

    Aguero Kane Austin

  16. Dr Dream

    No change at the top for the GW attacking stats per player by ICT threat..still a strange looking crew. Find Aguero is a good game though.

      Aguero has had the most shots in the last 4GW's and the 2nd most shots inside the box

          I wonder if Pelle and Aguero have something in common 🙁

          1. Dr Dream
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Yes...a lack of, and increasing lack of, confidence...Once that goes he's stuffed. Surely he must have arrived at that point now.

              Thats something stats can't measure. Although percentage of shots on target might be an indicator

      2. Ruth_NZ
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Shots in the box is misleading.

        Aguero has scored most of his goals from the 6-12 yard range. Now (4-2-2-2) he he still getting shots away but many more are from 12-18 yards. Still counted as shots in the box but it's harder to score from there.

        He has also been reduced to shooting from outside the box which really isn't his game.

        Great player, wrong position. Reverse of Rooney who is a great player that's now in his right position.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Pelle and Diouf have had the most shots in the 6 yard box all season. Its a ridiculous stat

          1. Ruth_NZ
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Pelle is a bizarre player. His ability not to score when it seems impossible to miss is only paralleled in my recall by Paul Furlong.

      Looks like GW33 for me, 34 would probably be better but went for the dgw which means I'll need to hit to get 11 out in GW 33.
      A lot of green arrows in your history, good going.

      11 years, 7 months ago

      I'm sure you get this alot but how do you still own walcott? i sold him for siggy two weeks ago and I felt stupid for holding him for so long

      1. Not Irish
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Because he's my fifth mid and thus is a very low priority.

        1. Mary
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Fair enough, you have an impressive team value! I'd do A this week and B next week

          1. Not Irish
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Exactly the way I'm leaning. Cheers.

      Walcott obviously has to go! Way too much of your budget wasted on him!!

      1. Not Irish
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I guess. Not stopped me doing anything so far. So A for you then?

        1. Viper
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah I reckon A. Mata is in good form and he's a decent differential.

    3. Chelsea Dagger

      C. Assuming that tweet about Cech going to Soton on an emergency loan is garbage

      If Remy's starts next week, make that move for the Tekkers move when he blanks the following week. He could score vs. Spurs

      1. Not Irish
        11 years, 7 months ago

        I'm really not hot on using a transfer on a GK though. Pretty sold on both Mata and Remy. Would then take a hit to get them both in before the blank.

  22. Dr Dream
    11 years, 7 months ago

    Jamie Carragher brought up a really good point about City after the match.

    Sometimes a team can be so good and so dominant that they actually start to affect their own ability to score and win games. He reminded everybody of Chelsea two years ago having so many players in the box that they couldn't actually score (I remember it) and now City have fallen into the same trap. Do they not just need to back off a lot and let the game breathe ?..

    1. Ruth_NZ
      11 years, 7 months ago

      4-2-3-1 might be a good idea.

      Play Aguero upfront with Silva behind. If they play that way they'll give United a game (but still lose I think). If Pellegrini rolls out the 4-2-2-2 again they could be humiliated.

      1. Dr Dream
        11 years, 7 months ago

        They just look like they need more space to play. However that's dressed up, and whatever formation is called, it has to be better than trying to score through a packed out penalty area all the time. Or at least mix it up between playing on the break and how they do it now...

        I watched the Real Madrid game at the weekend..even they seem to score a high number of goals on the break even whilst dominating a game....They have far more space to play in than City.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          11 years, 7 months ago

          I think its a testament to Pardew, he had a game plan of sitting deep and blocking space. It worked a tread

          1. Not Irish
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Yip. La Liga sucks.

          2. Dr Dream
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah they did it well...

    2. Not Irish
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I keep saying it. I think they're well overrated. Only top player they have who can be relied on to produce on a consistent basis is Silva.

      1. Royal5
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Yaya carried the whole team alone last season and has been a shaddow of himself this season. The obviously rely very much on him to help out offensively. And their defense have never been worse.

        1. Not Irish
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Yup.

        2. Chelsea Dagger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 7 months ago

          This is true. Dzeko was much better last year, and Negredo filled in well also. Jovetic is crap.

          1. Royal5
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Dzeko has been terrible and Jovetic is barely playing. Bony felt like a panic January buy and not really worked out so far. A lot of issue's in that City squad to sort out during the summer.

    3. FPL Daniel
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Eh,,,..?

    4. Somalion
      11 years, 7 months ago

      I didn't see most of the game until the last 10 or so minutes when City were pressing a lot. But in the Burnley game, they looked to be controlling possession in a very lethargic way. More than once I saw Yaya telling other players to slow down even though it was still 0-0 and they weren't really making many chances. Part of me wonders if they are going too slow at the start, allowing a shock goal happen, and then starting to hit panic mode and lump everyone forward to get back into the game.

      They need to stop letting Navas try to cross the ball as well. Massive waste of attacking chances every single game.

      1. Not Irish
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Creating their own problems in some ways(lineups, lack of urgency) but teams have also started to succeed in sitting off them and packing the box and middle of the pitch.

        1. Somalion
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Agreed. I think if they woke up a bit early on they could inflict some damage quickly and get a good foothold, score early and then try to retain possession and frustrate. Currently they only seem to wind up frustrating themselves.

    5. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 7 months ago

      City have been piss this season.

      Carra is a ex-pro but he's talking utter garbage in my book.

    6. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 7 months ago

      They were far too slow on the ball, passing it around and not knowing how to penetrate. CP had time to set their defence and just be positionally onto it. City needed to be much quicker in order to test them and stretch the defence. A few more shots from distance might have helped as well, that would have drawn the CP defence out a lot more, City's reluctance to shoot enabled Palace to just sit on the edge of the box and block any passage through

      1. Dr Dream
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Yep...good summary.

    7. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Playing Aguero up front on his own would be a start. Then signing a wide player with more quality than Milner/Nasri/Navas.

      1. Dr Dream
        11 years, 7 months ago

        But he never plays up front on his own, even when the team sheet says he is the striker. They play with about seven players running around the edge of the box and going nowhere sometimes.

        1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          11 years, 7 months ago

          He was the lead striker earlier in the season when he was in red hot form. Undeniably plays better when this is the case.

      2. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Nasri is a good player imo. Shows far more flair and isn't afraid to shoot from outside the box when coming in on his left, he was missed today. Jovetic and Milner could have added a lot more too.

        1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
          11 years, 7 months ago

          Tbf, Nasri is a decent player. Navas is awful though, Milner is hardly the answer, and Jovetic is more than likely heading towards the exit door.

          1. Ryan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            11 years, 7 months ago

            Indeed. They need better competition for Nasri than what they've got

    8. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 7 months ago

      Pellegrini is a puzzle.
      His reliance on Navas, 0 goals and generally ineffective and 1 dimensional.
      His constant rotating of his defenders, argueably the one area you don't rotate.
      His inability to get the best out of Dzeko, Jovetic, Negredo(gone, I know)and early days in fairness, Bony - leaving him totally reliant on an injury prone Aguero.
      Not getting the best out of Yaya.
      Strange reluctance to use Lamps, Milner and now Nasri.
      Stubborn or incompetent?
      I don't get it.

      1. Chelsea Dagger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Pelle is stubborn and incompetent.

      2. Royal5
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Agreed. Seems like a nice old man though 😛

      3. FPL Daniel
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Milner should be nailed on IMO

        1. Gnu

      11 years, 7 months ago

      Muppets said it above but I'll say it myself: their players are good enough.

      Chelsea winning the league is the predicted outcome and they have hardly been vintage. I think Europe showed their limitations for what they are.

      A half decent City side would have challenged. Their defence is non existent and bar Silva Agüero they offer little going forward.

      1. Ruth_NZ
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Champions League: 8 games, 4 wins, 4 draws.

        Going out to PSG on away goals is no embarrassment. PSG are a top team.

        Chelsea lack depth and a couple of quality players. Will be rectified in the summer I expect.

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 7 months ago

          PSG weren't being called a top team by many before putting Chelsea out.

          They are hardly a powerhouse.

          My point is not to be critical of Chelsea but to highlight that the Premier League was very winnable this season.

          City have been awful yet they are not a million miles off, United the same for them. City should really have put up a better fight.

          1. Not Irish

            No use arguing Chelsea matters with Ruth.

  23. Viper
    11 years, 7 months ago

    An Austin brace tomorrow or even a goal +bps could turn mini leagues on their heads.

    Tomorrow is the game I expected Austin to get his points in to!

    You see how critical it could be when you look at your rivals teams and they don't even own Austin!!

    1. Hibbo

      Austin (c) has turned my season around.

        I have led my mini leagues most of the season but in the last 6/7 weeks I have been pegged back to within a few points..

    hi. been out most of past 2-3 weeks. so been out a bit on the Dcosta news.
    any realistic chance he plays the dgw or is Remy safe for the dgw?

    if costa returns, then remy no gametime right? tia

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      11 years, 7 months ago

      That is the risk with Remy. I think the best thing to do is wait for the press conferences then we might know more information.

      1. FPL Daniel
        11 years, 7 months ago

        Its Remy or Murray for me

    2. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 7 months ago

      The way Costa was walked off the field leads me to think he is out for a while. Remy worries me with Drogba lurking around. Wait for pressers but I would assume Costa out for a while
