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

    Dont feel so confident with wilson. Will play sinclair most weeks probably

    1. Mane Of Steel
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Its all about the matches and a little bit of luck. Dont overthink it

    2. syke63
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Someome posted a table earlier and his stats were pretty good. I am only playing him for the better fixtures so I'll give him time.

    3. Pavsboot
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Watched the whole game and didn't look that bad. Got lost a bit granted but could have easily had an assist/goal if the finishing was a bit better.

    4. Adderz
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      His finishing wasn't great. But his finishing last year was pretty solid, I'm putting it down to first day nerves

  2. cogs
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    To be honest, i didn't think Gomis looked that promising.

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      lol

    2. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He didn't you're right.

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Must be a troll, I'm starting to regret not starting with him.

      1. st4rt__
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Hahahahahahah surely not?

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Caused problems in the air, had a few chances, scored a goal, easy fixture next week.

  3. st4rt__
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Kolarov my GW1 punt, replace him with who GW2 onwards?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Keep him.

      1. st4rt__
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I've Haz tho and Aguero, I want to maximize my pts not to decrease um.

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          I'm not sure I follow.

          1. st4rt__
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Say I keep Kolarov, Haz/Chelsea score, it's pointless, they cancel each other out.

    2. Canadian Football
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Darmian...keep until rested

  4. Walsh
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Omg is the DZ back? 😀 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. cogs
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Correct!

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

      Yeah mate. Welcome

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I like what you ended up on, mate.

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

          It could have been better had I stuck with my Albrighton call. Took a punt on Ibe instead. I'm not a fan of Wally and Rooney but they are both handy short term placeholders for Aguero. They are somewhat protective moves as well, just in case I'm wrong about them.

          1. Walsh
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Yep, was in the same boat..so I just decided to get Aguero instead 🙂

            Albrighton would have just been a ridiculous masterstroke. Not a fan of Ibe from an FPL persepctive this season, but I don't mind the punt for GW1. Either way, you look in good shape for a nice GW1 score.

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

              We'll see. I'm still not sure Walcott will start but I'm happy to see what might develop over 2GW's. He'll either be a world beater or a risk too far like last season.

              Aguero saves you a big hassle by having him now. You'll be in good shape without having to 'plan' transfers.

              1. Walsh
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 7 months ago

                Yep Walcott the big question mark. Hope he does well I love him, just didn't want to bother with the headache. My thinking exactly with Aguero, but we'll see. If he bags 3 points after the first 2 gameweeks it won't seem so wise...

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

          Good call on Gomis btw. He looked a handful.

          1. Walsh
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            😉

    3. Gorgles
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Nice call on Gomis! Commented on your stream as well 🙂

    4. Desertbug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      We're baaaaaack!

  5. Louis99
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    My heart is telling me to keep hazard, my head is telling me not. What do I do?

    1. Canadian Football
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Dump for sterling or silva for gw3

    2. icywrists23
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      just keep him. Hes a season long keeper

    3. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Save transfer and reassess after GW2.

    4. Watmore do ya want?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Stick - who would you replace with?

      1. Louis99
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        That's true

    5. Mane Of Steel
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Keep him... the man is bound to have 200+ years. Dont base his potential on one gameweek

    6. Jay10
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Head is always right. Heart makes you happy.

    7. Louis99
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks guys and good luck

    8. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      It's a team game and Chelsea aren't as good as last year. That's why I took the risk to leave him out. Not regretting it yet 🙂

    9. Fplnooob
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      you wont get far in this game with this sort of mentality

    10. Desertbug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      If you've got him, keep him.

  6. icywrists23
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    anyone thinking arsenal will run a riot tomomrow?

    1. Canadian Football
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Yup

    2. Mane Of Steel
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      We all hope

    3. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Arsenal 2 - 1 West Ham

    4. Pavsboot
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Need something special to save this week.

    5. WestHam14
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I am a hammers fan, but run riot will not happen I hope!

    6. Desertbug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      3-2

    7. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      3-0.

  7. Walsh
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Now that the RMTs are over...time to practice...

    Save

    Save transfer

    I'd sit tight

    Right then....ready for GW1+ 🙂

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Walshy, thoughts on Depay!
      How many weeks will you keep?

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        He didn't score a hat trick today..so I was sad. But, he did score better than Mata so small victories! 😀

        In seriousness..I will hold until after GW3 and then reassess. I quite like the boy and want him to do well.

    2. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      😀

  8. st4rt__
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone s**t yourself whilst games wa playing earlier but it turned rout around? God I've missed it!!!!

    1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Not to that extreme but yes watching Costa play and get chance after chance ( not many yesterday, but in general ) is tough as a non owner.

  9. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Hope Walcott doesn't start.

    Only 2 of Giroud, Ox and Walcott will start imo.

    1. Mane Of Steel
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Your name gave me a chuckle

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        So did yours 😉

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I have a feeling theo will be on bench

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Nooooooo! ! Don't say that! Wally cap here! Wenger could play Giroud uptop and wally ahead of Ox

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          I'm an Arsenal fan and I can see Ox getting dropped to be bench at this stage, he was unplayable vs Chelsea.

          As Gru vs Theo, I think Gru will start only because West Ham physicilatity at the back and holding milfs

          1. La Roja
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            I can't see Ox getting dropped *

        2. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          I don't see how Walcott won't be played at right wing, if Wenger wants giroud as striker.

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

            That would be harsh on the Ox

          2. La Roja
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            You clearly didn't watch CS.

            Arsene also prefers a right winger who will help out Bellerin. He isn't solid defensively.

            Ox will start on right, I have no doubt

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

      Yep. We'll see, the guardian reckons he will miss out. Going on the CS game that would seem fair.

    4. syke63
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Because he plays both positions he has twice the chance of playing as the other two. Be pretty pissed off if he doesn't myself.

  10. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Pathetic 20 points, captain played.

    At least Santi Ozil TEkkers Pelle Mig Bellerin to go

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      You're off base if you think that is pathetic, LR. Have a heart, plenty on here did quite worse.

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Wow, didn't expect that

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Just calling it how I see it, mate.

          1. La Roja
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Just a bit fcked off on last min punt on Mirallas. Was on Barkley in the morning and switched to Mirallas 5 min before deadline

            Sigh

            1. Walsh
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 7 months ago

              As they say..it's a marathon not a sprint. You'll do fine as usual pal 🙂

              1. La Roja
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 7 months ago

                Cheers pal.

                Fantastic call on Gomis. Your balls must be frozen

                1. Walsh
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 7 months ago

                  😉

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I have 20 with 5 to play, not to fussed about it. No real regrets at this stage.

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Just regret on last minute punt on Mirallas

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Same here. Had it on Barkley, changed it on the last day

    3. Gorgles
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Im in basically the same ship, 20 points, captain played, except with only Ozil Walcott Sterling and Mane to come.

    4. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      12 points here after Courtois red card...still 7 to go though.

    5. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      The average is 15 😕 you're doing alright

    6. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      24 with roo cap. Clyne, sterling, wally and cech to play

  11. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    What are your current transfer plans for next GW? Get Mahrez? Save FT?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Easy save, barring any injuries tomorrow or Monday.

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Save

      1. Mane Of Steel
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        save. i say that now... Lol

  12. Mane Of Steel
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    If walcott doesnt start, everything will be ok. This place will be a meltdown. I own him and believe he could be explosive off the bench

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I agree, he is capable of getting a brace with 30 min cameo

      1. Mane Of Steel
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        yes he is

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

      He wasn't very explosive off the bench last season. 1 assist in 10 cameos

      1. Mane Of Steel
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        its a new season. new seasons call for new ways

    3. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Hopefully he won't play at all or will keep quiet. Then everything would be just spiffing.

    4. Watmore do ya want?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Your confidence gives me confidence!

      Is he your captain?

      1. Mane Of Steel
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Nope, just always have to have hope

  13. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Going without Hazard seems to be going alright so far. 🙂

    1st of 8 hurdles crossed without issue, arguably the biggest hurdle though.

    1. Watmore do ya want?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      very early days...

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        True, only going Hazard-less for the first 8 GWs though.

        Horrendous score of 12 though.: lol : Courtois red card didn't help 😕

    2. syke63
      • 12 Years

      Home to Palace is the one (gw4)

      1. Arvin-ation

        True, but you have to remember that I have other players that I invested in using the Hazard money, and they don't just have 1 or 2 favourable fixtures in the first 8, the whole block's favourable for some of 'em.

        But, yes...that and new.

        1. WestHam14
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Hazard was playing Swansea who are no mugs mate, they will be one of the toughest tests at Stamford Bridge this year in the BPL. Monk has organised them very very well. Hazard will explode against lower end teams like Bournemouth, Norwich etc.

          1. La Roja
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            This

            I thought second half he was back to his usual form anyway, could have scored if it wasn't for a Flappyhandski head!

          2. Arvin-ation
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Yes, but I'm not planning to go without him for the whole season...just the first 8 gws after which I will WC and get him in.

            In the first 8 GWs he doesn't play against any lower end teams like Bournemouth, Norwich etc.

            Just Newcastle away, which is just 1 blip out of 8. I have money invested elswhere, it's not like I dumped the Hazard money in the trash. 😉

            1. WestHam14
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 7 months ago

              Fair play mate, just saying he will probably net 3 goals within 8.

              1. La Roja
                • 14 Years
                10 years, 7 months ago

                Steady on 😀

    Three 50-50s already gone wrong ( short term ) :
    Kane vs Rooney
    Ivan vs azpi
    Wilson vs deeney
    Fourth is ivanovic (c) vs Walcott(c) ,think that will make me pay the most.

    Guys,what ddo you do if you don't require a transfer after the 2nd GW.? Waste one?

      spend 1 and save the other. There is always a way to improve the team no matter how minor.

      1. Jay10

    Hey Walsh how'd u end up doing?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      A tidy 13 from 5 with el capitan still to play. And Palace tied for top of the table. Quite pleased 🙂 And yourself, TJ?

      1. st4rt__
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        13 pts from 5 is tidy?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Bang tidy

        2. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Given how things went today, I think it's fine. Sorry I'm not in the top 1k right now, Start.

      2. TJ_777
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Haha yes the palace Leicester title race will be very interesting

        Last second I went from Kane and sterling to Kun and mahrez

        So I ended up with 30 plus Cedric mert mane Ozil and Kun to play

        I'm very pleased but I know I got very lucky

        I think if el capitan does well u can probably save the gw it's only gw 1 anyways

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Mahrez get in! Nice one! 🙂

          1. TJ_777
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Ya feel really good about it

            If people actually watched football then they would realize he isn't a fluke just didn't score or assist last season

  19. st4rt__
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    What are people's opinion on 31 PTS, Cedric, Kolarov, Mane, Ozil, Sakho and Aguero to play?

    1. Mane Of Steel
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      could be better as always, im sure many people wis they had that so far

    2. Walsh

      Terrible. Enjoy your 2,903,488 GW1 rank.

          Usually if you get more than 10pts over the average its considered very good.

  20. Rotation City
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Leicester look a different side this season, with Pearson and Cambiasso gone. No more lofty passes over the top, instead fast and confident passing up field. Vardy is getting way better service, he could have scored 2 or 3.
    I'm seriously considering a Mahrez - Vardy combo going forward.

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Doubling a bit knee jerky for my liking, but I fear Vardy was severely overlooked as a third striker option this preseason. I anticipate plenty double switching him in along with Aguero very soon.

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      It was Sunderland

    3. davies
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Morgan is useless in a four-man defence.

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Full agree. Ranieri should go back 3 at the back, he won't play Sunderland 37 times

        1. davies
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Take De Laet out for Benaloune and we're better at the back.

  21. Mane Of Steel
    • 12 Years

    Night guys. Mane of steel needs his sleep for tomorrow

    1. Walsh

      2. La Roja

        Wrong spelling for Pelle there

    2. La Roja

      Night mate

  22. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Swans were impressive team yesterday

    Montero. Ayew, Gomis on watch list

    Plus a defender would be good too with those fixtures

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Can see 3 or 4 Clean sheets in the next 7, looks a sound investment at the back, imo. 🙂

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      They're just a very solid squad. I think there is plenty there for fantasy investment.

  23. Chuba

  24. Kurtinho
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else here with Gomez in their squad? He's benched this week for me, but could be a handy little addition if he nails down that LB spot.

    1. Kurtinho
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Joe Gomez, that is.

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      o/

      1. Kurtinho
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Nice 🙂 I have Azpi, Francis, Jenks and Cedric also. Four nailed starters. So I felt I could take a risk on Gomez for that fifth spot. Could easily become an early season bandwagon at 4.5.

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Same boat, in essence, Kurt. Hoping the same thing 🙂

          1. Colonel Klink
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            Are you thinking of playing him? I'm considering playing him over Koscielny, Darmian or Cedric. Seems sort of crazy, but I think he'll get the BPS.

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Opted for Mig instead. Tough fixtures for away games but gets lots of save points

    4. Louis99
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah I've got him

  25. davies

    1. Walsh

      Very happy for you, Davies. I like your group this year 🙂

      1. davies
        • 11 Years

        Cheers. Love the way Palace are heading, too. Very promising.

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years

          Indeed. We'll see you in the Champions League 😀

  26. Clay
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Courtois to Flappy anyone?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I think that's a sensible transfer if you have a non-playing 4.0 behind him.

      1. Clay
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Unfortunately I do, Hennessey. Schoolboy error.

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          I don't think it was. I was very surprised to see McCarthy get the nod over him today. Nothing in the preseason gave us any indication that would be the case. Just gotta move on from here sadly.

          1. Clay
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            True, the Coutois / Hennessey pick was one of the unluckier I've done. But that's what transfers are for I guess.

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Romero

      1. Clay
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Good call. I expect his performance expedited DDG's transfer / resolution though.

    3. davies
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Yay

    4. syke63
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He didn't look great today be they have some cleanies in them in the short term.

    5. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      That's a really good call

      1. Clay
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        I guess its Courtois to Flappy, Romero or Adrian. Anyone else?

        1. Desertbug
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Stekelenberg if you are just looking for somebody until the schedule block changes around GW8-9

    6. Ziro Becomes One
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I wonder how many Courtois owners have activated the wildcard yet.

      1. Futboley
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Not many
        He's only suspended for 1 though match.
        Happy to play my other GK and keep him.

        Those who intend to keep him all season are not affected by temporary price loss, which I reckon will be 0.1 only.

  27. Helia
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    What happened to the totalfpl sight? I cant get on it using any device. Is there a different site to check price changes?

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Appears to be down.

    2. Desertbug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      FISO looks like it is alive again. We'll see if they are improved over last year. It's been updating through last six-eight hrs. Cech and Mahrez in upper 20%, Darmian and Romero in 15-20% range. Hart and Albrighton around 11%

  28. FFCBERB
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Rooney owner here. Glad for the 5 points, and if he could average that for every game for 38 fixtures it wouldn't be all that terrible... But my god, there was nothing there today. We should, as owners, be thankful that Walker scored for him. And at least got us some points.

    1. Helia
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Very thankful. Dont know why rooney thought he had all the time in the world. He stopped the ball dead had a look up, as if no spurs players were anywhere near and took a deep breath as if he was taking a pen.. Amatuerish stuff.

      1. FFCBERB
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Perhaps this is a signal that he's actually crap as a striker now and should be a defensive holding midfielder???... I know VG's stare was incredibly descriptive. A picture says 1,000 words.

  29. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Wow, just checked Courtois ownership.

    That's one FT done for owners, most wont have back up.

    Unfortunate, sorry lads

    1. Walsh

        And those playing calculated risk (like me) 🙁
        I mean really, was this foreseeable?
        I went through entire year last year with a non-playing 4.0 backup. Changed gears with each wildcard. Did just fine.

        I have plan though, I guess... Never fear.

        1. Walsh
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          You'll be fine, Scott. GW1 always throws a spanner into the works. Chin up, onwards and upwards 🙂

    2. Ziro Becomes One
      • 11 Years

      Ah posted on the wrong post. I wonder how many of them have activated the WC already. Can we see that anywhere?

  30. moment
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Accidentally played Rudd, not Ruddy, thereby having 0 points from goalkeeper at the moment (although the autosub will take care of that in the end).
    But it occurs to me that if you're doing the 2 x GK from same team strategy (and both my teams are, one Rudd(y), the other Schm/Schw), then you should ALWAYS play the non-playing goalkeeper...
    a) for troll value in minileagues / H2Hs
    b) In case GK 1 gets sent off (a la Courtois today: Bego: 2pts, Courtois -2pts)
    c) If GK 1 gets injured, it's only actually going to cost you points if injury happens in the last 30 minutes (especially of a clean sheet). If it happens in the first 30 minutes you're better off. In the middle 30 it's a push.

    Would be great to know the frequency of GK sending offs versus injuries to absolutely check the expected outcomes, but I'm pretty confident game theory says play the second string goal-keeper.
    I shall do this all season [or at least until I can afford to rotate two 1st choice keepers].

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

      This needs to be a hot topic. Can't believe I haven't read this before on this site. I've got the Newcastle duo going at the point, and will follow your lead fine sir!

    5. Ziro Becomes One
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      This was discussed a week back. One more scenario is that many times this means the coming keeper has a chance for a peno save as well.

      But there were some more pitfalls.. will try to search that post.

      1. moment
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Hadn't thought of that: good point. Which is effectively a free bite at the penalty save cherry, because the outgoing goalie is going to be charged for the goal as well if it goes in...

        Interested to know what the pitfalls could be - can only think of
        a) Tactical sub of goalie in last minute, but I can't think of that *ever* happening.
        b) Goalie injury in minutes 60-90 of a clean sheet. But balanced out by seemingly equal chance of goalie injury in minutes 1-30, and then no further goals conceded.

        Honestly can't think of any others...
