    So are people going back to the drawing boards now regarding the Aguero news?

    If Rooney is replaced by Aguero, is it better to choose Ozil, Mata or Depay?

    1. Nanoelektronicar

      Ozil and Mata if possible. Had both I one of my early drafts.

      Always been a part of my plan with the simple contingency to downgrade to Rooney or Costa at last minute if Pellegrini says he is truly doubtful in press conference preceding gw1.

      Will probably just do:

      Costa & Mane -> Aguero & Ritchie/Young

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

        Nice plan, but I wouldn't like not to have Mane, considering fixtures. But it's either downgrading him or Walcott. 🙁

  3. CFC1990

    Schemeichel, Schwarzer
    Azpiliceuta, Caulker, O’Shea, Mings, S. Taylor
    Sterling, Fabregas, Walcott, Ritchie, Wanyama
    Rooney, Costa, Benteke

    How about this?

    I will choose Caulker over Cedric if eh comes in at 5m.

    Thanks!

  4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    sunderland switch to a 4-3-3 formation with johnson and lens playing on the sides and graham up front

    lens a decent option?

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

      Not unless Sunderland's attack starts to improve.

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

      Whats with Defo?

  5. TheBeast
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Please RM 🙂

    Butland, Ruddy
    Azpi, Koscielny, Jenkinson, Francis, Targett
    Hazard, Walcott, Mata, Sterling, Wanayama
    Rooney, Wilson, Sakho

    0,5m in the bank.

    My plan is to switch Rooney -> Aguero for GW4 and downgrade one midfield player

    My main concern is, are my forwards too light? Is there a better option instead of Sakho? I could upgrade him to Pelle or Kane and downgrade Sterling to Milner or Chadli (Kane would require finding 0,5m somewhere). I'm just not convinced either of them are worth the extra 1,5m / 3,0m. I don't wanna take Benteke untill I see how he adjusts to Pool.

    My other questions are should take Depay instead of Mata (better position) and Özil instead of Sterling (better opening fixtures) and maybe switch Sterling in later?

    Many thanks!

    1. CFC1990
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Mata to Ritchie and Sakho to Benteke as a sugggestion.

      As you said, you are not keen on Benteke.

      It is fine.

      I would prefer Caulker over Jenkinson.

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

        Thanks, good suggestions! I'm probably going to get Ritchie when get Aguero.

        I didn't even notice Caulker is available. I agree that Caulker is better overall, but WHU has some really good fixtures in the opening weeks and quite perfect rotation with Bournemouth

    2. tepercy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Personally, I think Sakho is the best striker for 6.5 mil as he'll be west ham's main striker for the start of the season and he did really well when fit last season. Berahino is a good option but not sure he suits Pulis and West Brom dont make an awful lot of chances, I think West Ham are better in that field, esp. with the addition of Payet.

      Agree with you on the Benteke front, especially with Rodger's tactic of changing formations and styles 5 times in a game.

      I personally prefer Depay as I think he is much more of a goal threat and, fingers crossed, will hopefully play on the wing/upfront where he performs best. Also great at set pieces. Mata still isn't a bad option though!

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

        Thanks, really valuable advice! I also prefer Sakho instead of Berahino + WBA has pretty bad opening fixtures.

        With Mata/Depay I'm quite 50/50, gotta see the rest of the pre-season games. I otherwise maybe prefer Depay a bit, but not sure if I wanna have both Depay and Sterling. A bit risky with two players in new teams. Although I could take Özil instead of Sterling, but that would most probably cost me -4p if I want to get Sterling for GW4 when MCIs fixtures get better (planning to get Aguero then too).

  6. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    So following the Man U friendlies, who is looking like the best option?

    a) Depay

    b) Mata

    c) Go for an Arsenal mid, it's safer

    1. Lord Bendtner, TGSTEL
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Özil, especially if you have rooney

    2. Blame the Ref
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      C

  7. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    i know people have told me not to putjay rodrigues and instead choose pelle but hes scored 5 goals in pre seaon so far only one less than pelle

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

      He's far from match fit after a big injury. You would have scored in those games.

    2. Butters19
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Pre-season can be misleading. Is he nailed on to start? If he is then I would go with him, but Pelle is the safer option and I'm not sure he is nailed on.

  8. AIRMILES
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Dammit! I just come up with my best team name in years, and it doesn't m0f**king fit.

    Crouch Ings Schweinsteiger

    If I take out the spaces I'm 5 short 🙁

    Do ppl think brunt might b a better pick than ki?

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

      Nope, he is likely to play wing-back

      1. owls on the up
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Didn't he play there last season? He only got 1 point less than ki just looking at other options as I need 5.5 mid in the 4th spot!

    2. Lord Bendtner, TGSTEL
      • 11 Years

      yep

  10. Trust John
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Simple question from me - is it important to have a premium defender in your line up for the first few gameweeks? Am really tempted to go with nothing more than 4.5 and 5.0 picks to start things off.

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      All depends how your attackers do 🙂

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

        Good answer. That is the reality of it I guess.

    2. Butters19
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I think it is very risky. I did that a few years ago and it didn't work for me.

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

        My sensible self will pick a premium DF - e.g. Azpi. Just like flirting with the cheaper options!

    3. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Honestly I don't think so. Clean sheets are hard to predict in the beginning. I think a lot of people would rather just take at least one premium defender now, so they can use their FT for mid/forward moves.. especially with uncertainty over Aguero. Would rather get that premium in now then take a hit for it in a few weeks.

    what aguero news?

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

      Back in training earlier than expected.

      1. People Get Up And Drive You…
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I might leave him for now, unless his price rises. Three difficult fixtures for City, might take time to get back into form. Three easy back to back fixtures for Rooney, so probably keeping him for now. :]

        1. ihateramsey2
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          lol @ mentioning fixtures when it comes to Aguero

    2. TorresMagic™

  12. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Which is the stronger team guys? Really on the fence now

    Pantilmon--Butland
    Azpi--Alderweild--Francis--Huth--Targett
    Hazard--Ozil--Ritchie--Sterling--Milner--
    ----Benteke--Rooney--Deeney-----------

    or

    Pantilmon--Butland
    Azpi--Martin--Francis--Huth--O'Shea
    Hazard--Ozil--Ritchie--Sterling--Wanyama--
    ----Benteke--Aguero--Deeney-----------

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'd have to say 2nd team but problem with 1st is you have Deeney and Ritchie - could downgrade one and upgrade elsewhere.

    2. Lord Bendtner, TGSTEL
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Generally, Kun Aguero, but maybe not from GW1.

    3. SugarDunkerton
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Re: A - Not a fan of having an expensive 5th midfielder, even with the new rules. Trust me, it's a nightmare leaving a mid or striker out. Should be 5.0m at most, and there's some great options there.

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

      Make the differences more obvious with a *
      2nd looks better if all are available.

  13. tschmitt6711

    This is a really cool idea you guys are doing. Thanks in advance!

    Hazard-Walcott-Milner-Ritchie-Fletcher
    Rooney-Benteke-Deeney

    3.0 ITB

    I plan to upgrade Rooney to Aguero by GW3/4.

    I'm still not sure about the 3 way rotation between the promoted teams but the fixtures it gives are pretty good.

    Should I use my remaining funds to upgrade Fletcher until it is time to do the Aguero swap? Was thinking Payet possibly. Or would it be better to hold the transfers for bandwagons?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'd maybe use the funds if you work out a plan to get Aguero in with 2 transfers.

      1. tschmitt6711
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I can drop the 5th mid back down to Fletcher and upgrade Rooney to Aguero assuming there are no crazt price changes in the first 3 weeks.

        After I posted this I saw that Aguero might be good to go for GW1 so that might take care of itself lol

        1. andy85wsm
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          🙂

    2. Butters19
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Use the funds elsewhere. Not sure about the promoted defenders, maybe look for other options, but if they rotate well it should be fine.

      1. tschmitt6711
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        It gives:

        AVL, WBA, STO, LEI, BOU, SUN, PAL, WAT, new/STO, WBA

    Schmeichel

    Bellerín - Bacuna - Cédric - Huth - Azpilicueta

    Chadli - Özil - Hazard (C)

    Rooney (Aguero placeholder, 2.5m in bank), - Pellè (VC)

    Subs: Myhill - Ritchie - Sakho - King (LEC)

    1. Lord Bendtner, TGSTEL

      mot sure bacuna nailed at midfield if thats your plan

  15. Tiki-Taka
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    --- WHEN TO WILDCARD? ---

    My main issue is when to use the 1st half Wildcard (WC). Is it a good tactic to pre-plan a WC for post GW3 - so you can bring in Aguero and maybe 2 more City for GW4 onwards - or post GW4 during the International Break so the transfer window is completely shut. Either post GW3 or GW4 would mean sitting up a team with fixtures good for those early gameweeks in particular and also mean you can assess who is nailed on from each team, remove poor GW1 picks, get form players and unexpected gems etc.

    Other potential idea is just set up a team for the first 8-10 weeks (or whatever) and not pre-plan a WC. Advantages of this are you can use it at a time when you really may need it (lots of injuries etc, or for a fixture shift for a lot of teams)

    Ideas guys? Cheers, much appreciated.

    1. Lord Bendtner, TGSTEL
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Plan for WC late late late. when lots of double game weeks occur

      1. Tiki-Taka
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        With the new rules you have 1 wildcard that you have to use in the first half of the season though i.e. before the DGW's start

  16. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    It looks like a lot of people are going with 2 cheap rotating GK, which is my same plan. For a while I have had Schmeichel + Butland in my squad. The other popular option is Ruddy. I did some analysis for the first 10 matches, and found that only once does Leicester have a better matchup than Norwich or Stoke (GW1). I rated LEI/NOR/STO each GW and awarded each team points based on the likelihood of a CS: 3 if they had the best GW matchup, 2 for 2nd, and 1 point for worst matchup. Here are the results:

    LEI = 17 points
    NOR = 23
    STO = 20

    After seeing this, I will be changing to Butland + Ruddy.

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

      Oh! I have Butland and Schmeichel at moment. I think I may change! Thanks for the tip off.

    2. ihateramsey2
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      how about just ruddy?

      1. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        If you want to save 0.5, then you can. But Stoke have the best fixture for the following weeks:
        - GW4: H vs WBA
        - GW6: H vs LEI
        - GW7: H vs BOU
        - GW10: H vs WAT

        Some pretty good fixtures.

    RMT Please.

    Ruddy - Rudd

    Azpilicueta - Huth - Mertesacker - O Shea - Baker

    Walcott - Sterling - Firmino - Mane - Hoolahan

    Costa - Rooney - Wilson

    - Do i swap Frimino for Hendo and leave 2m ITB for Costa/Aguero or Walcott-Sterling/ Haz swap
    - Or do i swap Sterling, Frimino, Costa for Hendo/Milner, Aguero and Fab... No Hazard in either though, is this to risky?

    Ruddy - Rudd

    Azpilicueta - Huth - Mertesacker - O Shea - Baker

    Walcott - Fabregas - Henderson - Mane - Hoolahan

    Aguero - Rooney - Wilson

    Butland
    Azpi, Cedric, Huth,
    Hazard, Cesc, Ozil, Young
    Aguero, Pelle, Sakho

    Hennessey, Francis, Prodl, Fletcher

    Really just wondering if the balance of the team is about right? Having Aguero in kind of distorts things, I'm not sure the frontline is quite strong enough.

    1. Kip

      Well balanced team imo

      Balance looks good.

      Keep an eye on Young - especially if we bring in another winger.

      If the news means people think he's more likely to start GW1 then it's made things easier if anything

    Trying a five way Rotation at the BACK this year. Best i could come up with and picked the best pair of GK's with a differential to the defence.

    (Gk) Lec/Cpa

    (Def) Sto/Nor - Sun/Swa - Sto/Swa - Nor/Ava - Ava/Swa

    (Mid) Nor/Bou

    Thinking of putting in Giroud/Kane if Agüero still isn't READY for GW1 ?

    Should I swap out Sigurdsson/Chadl for Mané ?

    I have picked Redmond over Johnson as he is a risk as he PLAYED left back recently ! What do ye think ?

    Any SUGGESTIONS Welcome !

      Looking at your team, where have all the funds gone. Doesn't look like 99m.

      1. Risk It For aBiscuit
        • 11 Years

        Haha but it is 99M. Why So?

  22. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years

    Is Sterling and Aguero together too much? Perhaps a Man U midfielder would be a better option?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      All depends on who get the points at City.

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Wait a little bit until doubling, especially because they don't have that great opening fixtures.

      1. Tiki-Taka
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I always see comments about fixtures but for a team like City I don't think fixtures are relevant. They can score well against anyone, except maybe Chelsea

    3. Kip
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'd prefer mata over sterling

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Haz, Arsenal, Hendo/Chadli/Tadic, Ritchie/Ki is my midfield. Imbalanced intentionally.

    5. aehii
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      At least aguero and sterling will play. Van Gaal is too unpredictable, I'm staying well away personally.

    6. Butters19
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I would rather go with a Man U mid, but there is no such thing as too much. Look at Sturridge and Suarez a few years ago and Ozil and I think it was Ramsey were picking up points so if you think Sterling will do well then go for it. At the start I would put a Man U mid in though and you can always swap for Sterling.

    7. Wrizard
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      That seems too much and I think you definitely want some man u cover

  23. HamezMace
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Which is better;

    Chadli and a 4.5m defender,

    Sinclair and a 6m defender?

    *Would be 4th and playing midfielder, Wanyama is 5th

    1. aehii
      • 13 Years

      a.

    2. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      a lot would depend on whether sinclair is on penalties, at swansea penalties were huge for him. the signings of adebayor or berbatov could change all that.

      so i'd say the latter if villa dont sign those players, the former if they do

    do people expect caulker to come in at 5.0 and be 1st choice?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm expecting 5m but might not be first choice, especially if they sign another CB soonish

      1. phild22
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        i am considering having yoshida/caulker (if he came in at 4.5) and targett for the start of the season and seeing there line up and then making transfers a couple of weeks in when bertrand is back

  25. aehii
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Settled on

    cech [hennessey]
    clyne huth o'shea [simpson baker]
    walcott hazard sterling mane bolasie
    aguero berahino [hooper]

    I suppose i could swap bolasie for sakho, but that would be being influenced by others as I've never thought much of sakho. I want Kane really, somehow.

    I've always thought aguero will play maybe 30 mins of gw1, and going against chelsea the week after isn't a big deal for him given he scores against the top sides. Never owned Hazard ..!

    2. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hola. Not a Palace expert, per se, but I wouldn't wager that he's nailed. He seems to struggle for regular time, as far as I have seen and what not. Fairly talented player, who is perhaps at this time more of a sub/impact sub with energy to offer when nothing else is working. Never know, however. He could catch on this season. Something to monitor before sticking him in, I would say.

      1. owls on the up

      i fancy him tbh.

      ----------- mcarthur/jedinak ---- cabaye -----------
      zaha ------------------ punch ---------------- bolasie
      --------------------------- striker --------------------------

      would be my guess as it stands

        Oh Ud have post that wouldn't u lol
        If he plays regularly he cud be a steal, will have keep an eye on him!

    4. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
      • 12 Years

      I don't see how he could: Bolasie Punch Jedinak Ledley Cabaye.

        Was trying to do it in order earlier but there's just too many. Prioritising those with questions over simply those asking for a rating

          done

  28. betweenthesticks
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Could use a look over my team please,

    Courtois, Fabianski
    Ivan, Alderweireld, Cedric, Kos, Jagielka
    Ritchie, Mane, Henderson, Ozil, Fabregas
    Rooney, Berahino, Deeney

    Any thoughts welcomed. Thanks

    1. tepercy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Way too much money spent on the defence. Depends what formation you're playing but downgrade two defenders and upgrade your midfield/attack

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Far too expensive gks and defence!

      Drop atleast 4 of gks and defs for 4.5 and get better 2nd striker.

    3. aehii
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Too much on keepers, no? Is second keeper needed for 5m? And a lot on defenders too. I'd downgrade one of the three and upgrade deeney or richie depending on which formation you play.

    4. owls on the up
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Keepers far too expensive just go with Cortouis
      Defence too expensive keep Ivan, kos, then have 3 4.5 defenders rotating
      Like ur mid it's decent
      Strike force too weak
      I'd be concerned having no hazard or aguero,
      Not many captain choices

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

        Have rarely had Aguero or Hazard in my teams since they've been around. Just about picking them at the right time.

    5. Wrizard
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Keepers and Defenders are waaaay too expensive.

      If you want Court you are probably gonna wanna play him every week so just downgrade Fabianski to a non playing keeper (4.0)

      Probably wanna pick two higher priced defenders like Kos and Azpi or Mertesacker and Ivan and then three 4.5 defenders who can rotate well.

      take the money you've freed up and invest in better forwards mostly and maybe a little in midfield

      hope it helps

    Here's a good question!

    Is Ivanovic worth the £7mil?! Discuss!

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Potentially

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Not imo.

    3. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Only time will tell. I have decided not to go with him off the bat. He was pretty frustrating to own last season, especially there at the end. Just loves a stupid yellow card. Hopefully, he's a little more quiet out the gates this time around.

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yes he's worth £7m as his PPG divided by cost is 67%, which is considerably higher than the likes of Costa, Hazard and Fabregas who are all under 55%. Azpi is 76% for a reason, so you either take the risk-discount for 1m or pay the premium I guess.

  30. The_Socca_Philosopha

    Which 5.5 forward would you suggest?

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Wilson

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

        Thanks! Would you recommend a Wilson/Ritchie double or look elsewhere for a 6.0 mil or under 4th mid?

        1. andy85wsm
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I don't really know much about Ritchie. He seems to be all the rage but I might go for a 5.5 and upgrade elsewhere.

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Wilson
