The Numbers Game – 2014/15 Review – Stoke City

Following a successful first season at the Britannia for Mark Hughes, in which he guided Stoke to a ninth-place finish, expectations were high as the Potters headed into the 2014/15 campaign. The former Blackburn boss continued his side’s evolution, bringing in the likes of Bojan Krkic from Barcelona and Victor Moses on a season-long loan from Chelsea, while Phil Bardsley and Mame Biram Diouf added physicality at both ends of the pitch. That balance of style and substance ultimately proved successful, with Stoke finishing in ninth place once again.

In this members article, we will take an in-depth look at Hughes’ second season in charge, analysing the main goal threats and creators and comparing the numbers from the 2013/14 and 2014/15 campaigns under the Welshman.

    Rmt please

    Fabianski/Schmichiel

    Kos/Azpil/Fonte (o'shea/Collochini)
    Hazard/Depay/Sterling/wanyama (Barry)
    Costa/Benteke/Sakho
    Out of ten ?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      5
      Expensive defensive. Downgrade some and upgrade a 4th mid.

      Are you sure about rotating keepers? For that price you could have Courtois?

      Apart from that, the only fault I can pick is starting Wanayama/Barry or playing 4 at the back each week. I'd prefer the full seven attackers.

        Nice one !

    3. CC22

      Yeah, big issue is with the two midfielders of Barry and Wanyama. As everyone says, lose some cash from defence and upgrade one.

    4. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      one midfielder short i'm afraid

  2. Farcelona
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Why is Deeney a more popular pick than Wilson? Also, why are they both more popular than Bojan?

    1. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Is Bojan nailed?

      1. AlCapwnUK
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        when fit he's arguably their best player.
        Might be used in the hole rather than out and out striker though

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Pens.

    3. hillbillypete
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Bojan doesnt always play as an out and out striker. Toss up between Deeney and Wilson IMO

      1. hillbillypete
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        plus his awful injury record

    4. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Agree, going Wilson on fixtures purely

      1. Prøphet
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Going with deeney since Watford signed a lot of quality players last week. Pretty sure they will not be in contention to get relegated. I predict around 13th

    5. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      BOJAN!
      i've got an inkling he'll be one of this years top bagain forwards - but I also thought Lamela was going to smash them in last season

      1. il Brutto
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Lamela will smash them in this season wait and see.

        1. AlCapwnUK
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          could happen. he seemed to fit way to easily into the spursy inconsistency last season

      2. Kessler
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Think we all said the same thing this time last year!!

  3. CelticBhoy1

    Please RMT currently, all comments will be noted

    Schmeic Butland
    Azp Cedric Mert Richards Kaboul
    Haz Milner Walcott Cabaye Wanyama
    Roo Costa Wilson

    1. djenzio
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      can't see anything wrong with that time. good job

    2. hillbillypete
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      quite like it

    3. hillbillypete
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      why Milner over Henderson?

      1. CelticBhoy1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I think he has a point to prove and will start strong

        Also Hendo has a tendency to play slightly deeper

        1. hillbillypete
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          again, think its a toss up.

          richards and kaboul rotate?

          1. CelticBhoy1
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah that's what I'm planning on anyway

        2. CelticBhoy1
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Also has a v strong points to minutes ratio

    4. CC22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Well balanced side. I like it a lot.

    5. The Iron Tulip
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Not bad, not bad.

    6. Boo Ya Ka Sha
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      too much in defense. find a better rotation than astonvilla/sunderland. downgrade Mert. Upgrade Cabaye

    7. Girls like Cars and Man&eac…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      That's actually a crazy team! I love it 🙂

  4. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    So Norwich are the only one of the promoted sides to have recent EPL experience and their side still consists of most of the players from that season. On top of that they have just 2 bad fixtures in the first 10 ie sot and liv. Why are most overlooking their defenders for the likes of Francis/Mings/Prodl etc?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Because they were relegated recently.

    2. Adderz
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      "their side still consists of most of the players from that season"

      Because of this

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        12 CS's that season mate.. their defense was pretty good value

        1. Adderz
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Oh, didn't realise this. Whenever I think of that Norwich side I only remember the Liverpool games

      2. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        And i have fond memories of Martin from the season before that one.. tbh i always had a norwich defender now that i think about it

    3. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I've had Martin since my first draft

    4. tm245
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I have their gk combo for 8.5m.

    5. Ludo
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed. They kept 12 CS as well even in the season they went down, with 8 at home.

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        kept 10+ CS's in both their previous seasons. I'm defo gonna have one. Owned Martin 3 years ago and Ruddy 2 years ago.. both dint disappoint

    6. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Butland enough

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Butland plays for Stoke, not Norwich.

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          oops, meant Ruddy

    7. Yome
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      What about Johnson and Redmond? Good value at 5.5

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        i like Redmond... Though Johnson spent some time in the front 3 last season he spent the majority of his time in his old withdrawn role. Good value still but i'd rather redmond.

        1. Yome
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          That is right, Johnson mainly plays as DM but he scored 15 goals last season, amazing.
          But he also collected a lot of YCs.
          I would still pick Redmond too, he will assist and create more danger on the wing.

  5. CC22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Currently on a team of:

    Fabianski, Schmeichel
    Koscielny, Azpilicueta, Cedric, Mings, S Taylor
    Hazard, Walcott, Sterling, Henderson, Anya
    Rooney, J Rod, Sakho

    Can anyone offer any advice/recommendations?

    I'm particularly unsure on Anya and also think having S Taylor may be rash with him being almost certain to not play.

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      i like it.
      I'm not sure on sterling but the potential there is huge.
      I'm also a Pelle man, but was on j Rod for ages

    2. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Slightly weak up front maybe a bigger name than J Rod

    3. djenzio
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      S Taylor won't play but then there are no 4mils who will, if you want a non playing defender then I guess he is good as any

      mid looks very good

      J Rod could be a golden pick but my only issue with him is he plays on the wing and even though he scored 3 and got 3 assists in last friendly Koeman's assistant came out and said he was not 100% fit still.

      1. CC22
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, I'm resigned to S Taylor sitting at number 3 on the bench until a 4.0 defender arises probably.

        J Rod's my big punt. He was class for me two seasons ago and I think he could hit the ground running. Very tempted to chance it despite him playing reverse OOP.

  6. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Why is Bellarin in so few teams?

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      reckon he's nailed?

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah I think he is.......

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      People are scared of Debuchy - personally I think Bellerin is first choice and it's his spot to lose.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Agreed,that's why I'm surprised...

      2. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah. think so too

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Confirmed by Debauchy himself

          1. Debauchy
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Yep, sad to say

            1. Debauchy
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              not really. Bellerin a star in the making

    3. gdog2244
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Competition from Debuchy and possibly Chambers

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Surely last season he made it his own. Chambers wasn't that good...

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          yep Chambers no threat

      2. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Less so from Chambers. Bellerin looks the best of those 3, hopefully Arsene is logged in here !

      3. AlCapwnUK
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        chambers is going to have a great time in the capital one cup

    4. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      i think he's a better choice than the guys with Mert. But Kosc is the safe choice, and that safety comes at a premium. I reckon a lot will downgrade if they get a free transfer later in the season

    5. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      He's in mine

  7. Frank Black
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Joe Gomez is the real deal.

    1. djenzio
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      yes indeed but not sure he will be first choice just yet. Moreno is a great player too and BR is fond of him. I think any mistake or injury to Moreno and Gomez will be straight in and could hold the spot

      1. Frank Black
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I'm considering him as my fifth DF right now.

        1. djenzio
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          fair enough.

          might be wiser to wait and see till get gets gametime but that's just me

        2. djenzio
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          he could easily make 5/10 min appearances from the bench

  8. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    I see a lot of people don't have any City player. I think I will double up with Kun and Sterling and get advantage if they score well.

    1. PSEBJ27
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'm doubling up with them already, both will feed off of Silva. Can see Sterling getting lots of assists for penalties and freekicks too, he should've had a penalty against Roma.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Agree 100%.

    2. Frank Black
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I have both in my team at the moment.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        High five. 😀

    3. Boo Ya Ka Sha
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      advantage.. or setting yourself behind. tough fixtures

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        City can score against anyone.

        1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          they won't run riot, that's for certain. depends if you're going to WC early on

      2. hillbillypete
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        they aren't.

        scouts agreed in fixtures article

  9. Pringle
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Good evening guys. What do you think about this team?

    Schmeichel Hamer
    Azpi Kosc Williams Morgan Targett
    Hazard Walcott Ozil Mane Wanyama
    Rooney Benteke Wilson

    1. Farcelona
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Very good, only concerns are Hamer and Targett.

    1. Frank Black
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Is Jenkinson still nailed on? A few people sold him this week.

      1. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yes he is nailed

        Absolutely.

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          He is my WHU pick. 🙂

          1. hillbillypete
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            he's 5.0...............

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Won't play against Arsenal - but you wouldn't want that, anyway. (Loan)

        3. Frank Black
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          So maybe they just sold him because they saw him red flagged?

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

    Bolasie and Schneiderlin or Sigurdsson and Wanyama??? Cheers

    1. AlCapwnUK

      Siggy and Wanyama for me

      1. B.Edwards1999

        Ok Cheers

  11. The Iron Tulip
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Any Bamford love about? Tempted to go with him from the off with 2 nice fixtures in the first 3 games. If all goes wrong, I can easily swap to Wilson/Deenay who are my other options.

  12. passdpuck
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    A)
    Guzan / Ruddy
    Clyne / Azpi / O'shea / Huth / Baker
    Haz / Depay / Silva / Hendo / Wanyama
    Costa / Benteke / Deeney

    OR

    B)
    Guzan / Hamer
    Clyne / Mert / O'shea / Huth / Baker
    Fab / Depay / Walcott / Sterling / Hendo
    Costa / Benteke / Deeney

    Downgrade a mid to 4.5 and upgrade to Aguero in GW3, use rest on D and mid upgrades.

    1. Aurora

      get hazard, don't need costa if you have both

      hazard and rooney together

  13. Boo Ya Ka Sha
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    all out attack

    Panti Hen
    Williams Huth Bassong Francis Targett
    Hazard Walcott Depay Mane Wanyama
    Rooney Benteke Lukaku(C)

    Lukaku to Sakho + 1.5 after gw1

    1. djenzio
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      only thing to flag is Targett which I am sure you are well aware of

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        all out attack man. no wasted money on a fifth def which will play 2-3 weeks before my WC and Bertrand coming back

  14. Farcelona
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Who is the most attacking Norwich defender? Bassong?

  15. hillbillypete
    • 15 Years

    Is there a rotation spreadsheet floating around? usually is.

    Is Chadli nailed?

    1. Farcelona
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Probably, can't see why he wouldn't be.

  17. Guy Demel's SH

    My first RMT 🙂

    Kasper - Hamer

    Kos - Azpi - NOR - BOU - WAT (all 4.5)

    Hazard - Walcott - Ozil - Payet - Anya

    Rooney - Sakho - Pelle

    - I am concerned about doubling up on WHU, although I do think we'll start strongly.
    - Ozil can be changed to Cazorla or another 8.5

    1. CC22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Double Arsenal and double West Ham - could pay off but I'd be tempted to spread the cash elsewhere slightly. Maybe Payet to one of Milner/Henderson or one of the Palace midfielders?

      1. Guy Demel's SH
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks for the feedback.

        I'm happy with double Arsenal tbh, but agree about West Ham.

        Payet to Milner is definitely an option to consider, thanks.

    2. Farcelona
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Not a fan of the keepers.
      Decent defence.
      Mid is good but a little risky, not convinced by Ozil although you're doubling up so kind of mitigates the risk.
      Forwards are ok.

      0.5/2
      2.5/3

      7/10

      1. Farcelona
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        7/11 apparently...

      2. Guy Demel's SH
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers, which 4.5/4.0 keeper combo would you suggest then?

        Or I could stretch to 5.0/4.0 if I downgrade Payet.

        1. Farcelona
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          £4.5/£4.5 with Schmeichel and Butland is what I've gone for. Might be worth downgrading Payet at the start, then get him in around GW9 when his fixtures pick up.

          1. Guy Demel's SH
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            I'm trying to trust my analysis that West Ham will get off to a flyer (due to EL qualifiers in pre season) and then slow down.

  18. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Stoke leading 5-0 against Wrexham.

    Walters x2
    Diouf
    van Ginkel
    Joselu

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Badly want some their attacking player, but have no idea who is nailed on.

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I've already advised you Walters when you've asked the same question last week or so.

        He is the most nailed as it stands, and certain to start the season, unless he gets injured ofcourse...

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah, but Diouf or Arnautovic could also play on that position and steal his gametime.

          1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            As it stands imo...

            Walters - Adam - Bojan
            Joselu/Diouf

            OR...

            Walters - Bojan - Arnautovic
            Joselu/Diouf

            Joselu is comfortably better than Diouf for me, but they're likely to share gametime.

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Walters & Adam are very tempting if I go that cheap with my 4th mid - probably will stick to minimum of 7.0 though with Liverpool lads or Chadli, if not 8+.

      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Exactly the same for me.

        My fourth mid is Henderson/Milner and likely to stay that way, but Walters would be high on the list if I looked to downgrade there.

    3. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      i've decided I can wait to see the stoke teamsheets for GW1 and 2 before picking anyone. (it's BOJAN)

  19. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Is Bamford nailed on?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 15 Years

      If you are asking.....

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Why u have problem with me?

  20. Kessler
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    I'm still tinkering but can you guys RMT please so I can avoid using my wildcard on GW 4 as usual 🙂

    GK: Cech / Henessey
    DEF: Ivanovic / Morgan / Clyne / Mertesacker / Targett
    MID : Chadli / Puncheon / Walcott / Sterling / Schneiderlin
    FWD: Costa / Kane / Gomis

    Thanks in advance!

    Kessler

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      all about the chips this year. got to keep that WC i'm afraid 😛

      Not sure about the defence. Like the Gomis pick.

      That midfield is potentially explosive

      1. Kessler
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Would you go with courtois or Cech in goal? Can't decide whether to double up on chelski defence or arsenal??

        1. Farcelona
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Have a look and see who you think has the best fixtures until you WC.

    2. Farcelona
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Like the keepers.
      Like the defence.
      Risking it for all the biscuits in midfield.
      Not a fan of the forwards but I could be wrong.

      Overall, pretty good.

  21. Jafooli
    • 12 Years

    Any chance Baker is first choice for Villa?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Not if they want to retain their slim hopes of remaining up!

    2. Aurora
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      wondering same thing, not sure of other 4.0 mil options tbh

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I doubt it. At least hopefully not.

    4. Desperate Dan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Rotatin risk from Butcher and Candlestickmaker.

  22. Yome
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    GW1, I only have 2 players playing away. I fear about GW2 already...

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Are your players not good enough to play away?

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I reckon they won't be as efficient but let's see how it goes

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Just WC?

  23. Aurora
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Who is the most nailed on £4.0 mil DEFENDER?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Targett. And he's not nailed.

      1. Aurora
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        you don't think baker is more nailed on?

        1. Farcelona
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Neither of them are worth it.

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Targett if your'e WCing in gw 2

    3. Frank Black
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Turner is the 4M DF who's going to play more minutes than any other.

  24. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Pudil first choice?

  25. Kessler
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Best midfielder for 5.5m??

    1. Aurora
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ive gone Mahrez- I think he will be Leicester's man this year

      1. Tiki-Taka
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        My 4th mid may end up being 5.5, Mahrez is interesting but reckon he will be nailed? Certainly wasn't last season as far as I'm aware

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          If he was nailed , would be an auto for me. But a risk at the mo.

      2. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Have a similar feeling for Mahrez. Just left my team though ,may come back

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ki S.Y.

    3. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      i decided 5.5 wasn't worth it. But if i had to, maybe Ki?

    4. Feeling_blue
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Moses if he moves otherwise none

  26. Theatre_Of_Screams
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Is anyone planning to have Aguero, Costa and Hazard?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Possibly.

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      By gw 20 maybe

    3. Farcelona
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Probably not many. Way too much invested in 3 players (£35.5m) when you need a 15 man squad. Means your other 12 players have to be worth £5.375m on average.

    4. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Too much IMO, Hazard and Aguero is enough

      1. AlCapwnUK
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        this

    5. Feeling_blue
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Eventually

    6. Tiki-Taka
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      If Pellegrini suggests Aguero could make GW1 I will probably have Aguero, Rooney and Haz. If Aguero doesn't make it, I will probably have Costa, Rooney, Haz.

  27. Isco Disco

    Can anyone explain to me what the numbers Doosra keeps posting next to team names mean?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Coordinates.

      1. Isco Disco
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        No, really...

      2. Frank Black
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        To the Mad Island.

    2. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      doubt even Doosra can explain.

  28. AriseSirGiggsy
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Celticbhoy1 - we have almost the same teams so must be thinking on the same lines....

    Why Cabaye tho?
    I'm looking at Walters, Bolasie or Chadli depending on budget left....

  29. Jafooli
    • 12 Years

    Season 10/11 Adam got 45 baps 😯

    Bring back man in the stand.....

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      42 for Hazard last season

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        54 for Fabregas in 06/07

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          46 for Rooney 09/10

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Aguero's best was 30

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Man in the stand loved Fab
          Would take him over Haz if went back to that beautiful system 😆

            • 13 Years

            Chris Eagles would still Hoover up the baps thanks to the man in the stand loving his long flowing locks

    2. hillbillypete
      • 15 Years

      Ritchie this seasons Adam?

    3. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      he also had a hatful of goals and assists though..

    4. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Adam 10/11 was the God-like genius of the fantasy world; I thought it was a bargain that'd never be beaten... then Kane came along
