Tempted into dealing our Wildcards by yet another “mediocre” Gameweek, Granville and I go through almost the entire episode before Jonty reveals he’s weakened and gone “active”. It’s a revelation that almost has us both logging off and reaching for our own panic buttons.

Before that dramatic finale, we find salvation via another bout of “rough the smooth”, cheering ourselves with tales of Gameweek totals which dip below even our miserable tallies.

We also take a further round of community questions, forcing me to “fess up” on Theo Walcott, while Granville laments Wayne Rooney’s form and the three of us tackle the merits of Mahrez, Ozil and loading up on City assets.

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

    on WC, Ayew or Memphis?

    i think Memphis will explode soon, he could have scored last week...just need to find that composure

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years

      Memphis

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

      Don't hate going with both. Memphis in a vacuum.

    Butland Ruddy

    Azpi Darmian Gomez Huth Oxford

    will have 2 FT next week. My plan is Azpi --> Kolarov and save the other FT.

    good move or just save the 2FT? Thanks!

      Can't save 2 FTs

    Captaincy thoughts:

    Memphis - Not many in my ML will have him, and nobody will captain him. Janmaat and Sissoko out for Newcastle means an entirely patchwork right side of the pitch, which could see Memphis have a monster performance. Early kickoff curse comes into play, but this could be a season defining gamble to take.

    Aguero - He'll get his chances, I fancy him to score a goal in this match. Capping him is minimizing risk, but also minimizes gains to be made. It's the safe option, but it's 3rd choice for me at the moment.

    Sanchez - Liverpool could be without Henderson, stats suggest Alexis will score one of his shots on target, and Ozil is simmering. I could see a big performance for Arsenal in this game, with Sanchez the main culprit.

    Anybody care to discuss?

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

      Aguero the safe choice. Liverpool defense has looked tidy, owning Alexis is enough at this point for me. Captaining Memphis is the mad punt that could pay off but I still think Aguero is the correct pick of the litter.

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Aguero will rip apart Everton.

      1. Shifty
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        dont think so.

      2. Sadio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I think he'll score one, maybe two. He could still finish 3rd in points this week behind Sanchez and Memphis though

        1. TheSteel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          He'll be hard to beat against Everton. Plus ownership

    3. Mr.Bojangoals
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Aguero is my permacaptain. The only place I would think twice about it is Stamford Bridge.

      1. Sadio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I don't think that's the best way to play this game. He won't score double digit points week in and week out, whereas every week a crop of players do just that.

        To me it seems inevitable that Memphis will run rampant against Newcastle, can't see anyone slowing him down.

        1. tokara
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          last season i also thought same, didnt cap Kun and was bitten so many times when i could have overtaken everyone in my ML

          go Kun and never look back!

  4. DAV087
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on Silva and Diouf Or Yaya and Pelle/Benteke?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Silva diouf safer. Could go any way on any week though.

      1. DAV087
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        That's the way I'm leaning. Love Stokes fixtures and Soton didn't look great last week. Just know Pelle will always be around the mark and involved.

    2. Egyptian Eagle
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      How about silva and sakho

      1. DAV087
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Already have Payet and prefer him to Sakho.

        1. Egyptian Eagle
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Do you have ayew ? maybe try to get gomes instead of both

          1. DAV087
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Don't have Ayew but do have Gomis.

            Ruddy Butland
            Kolarov Darmian Williams Gomez Richards
            Sanchez Payet Mahrez Westwood ???
            Aguero Gomis ???

            1. Egyptian Eagle
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Then it is silva and diouf , and i prefer Sakho myself .
              Btw i don't like that Gomez ( Liv ) pick

              1. DAV087
                • 15 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                Why don't you like Gomez?

                1. Egyptian Eagle
                  • 13 Years
                  10 years, 4 months ago

                  I have him , i saw the first two matches and he was really awful , i intend to switch him once he has his second rise . he has arsenal next anyway

  5. Reed_Rothchild
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Is Romero going to be nailed on?

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      if ddg leaves and united don't sign another gk, then yes

  6. Root
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Am I doing it wrong if my WC team has Kane, Mane and Sakho?

    Should I be a sheep and swap them for Ayew, Payet, Gomis, etc.?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      no. Play your own game and don;t give in to the herd mentality

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      All depends if the 1st 3 will outscore the 2nd 3.

  7. President John F. Keninnsie
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    As most of you will know I've been talking up Lovren as an option on here lately. It seems that earlier today Liverpool offered Sakho a new 5 year contract... I'm really not sure what to make of it.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      They'll share the elusive spot more evenly

    2. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Mignolet a good entry into the LFC defence imo

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah. Ill prob go with him when i wildcard.

    3. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      sakho hasn't even been on the bench for liverpool's first two fixtures...something must be up

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah that's what I was thinking too...

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

      You must listen to my pod 😀

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I haven't listened to one yet actually Walsh, I'm not really a podcast type of guy... But I see you've been getting some great reviews on here so I'll try find the time to listen to one over the weekend 😀

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

          😉

      2. Geordienufc1
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Tis a good pod! Though I have to say, advising that first guy not to WC this week with his 3 x 4 mil defenders, Adrian suspended for 3 games, Rooney, Ritchie, no Mahrez, no Sanchez, no Silva, no Kun etc. was madness imo 😛

    5. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I've had enough with you and 5.0 defenders... (Caulker) 😀

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        😀 I'm getting 2 or 3 on my WC 😆

      Morning Jeanz.

      Yeah no risers. And although I sold PVA before his price drop, I had a relief when Coates & Kaboul dropped today. Call me bad.

            hey don't hate on the Panties.

              • 13 Years

  9. Tiamani Warrior

    I haven't seen any swansea games yet. Is Ayew very involved or just pop up for goals?

        hah i just went in to try and find something but drew a blank. pretty fresh on the membership thing. any tips for what table to look up on Ayew?

        1. TorresMagic™

          http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/player-profiles/andre-ayew/

          Compare him to someone or even GW1 Ayew to GW2 Ayew.

            cheers just had a nosey

  10. theChosenOne

    Evening all!
    Any price changes? (notable ones)

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Stickies.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      check stickies

    3. Root
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Cazorla and Coates dropped. No rises. Ridiculous.

  11. Mr.Bojangoals
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I'm slightly surprised by the amount of Sakhowners. My gut instinct is that people are overestimating West Ham. Can anyone change my mind?

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      has some very tasty home fixtures coming up, was a bit unlucky last weekend

      1. Rotation City
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        In that he was taken out by Schmeichel, yes, he was unlucky.

    2. Rotation City
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      West Ham do look good, but I think it's more overestimating Sahko.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Watch him score 2 goals this weekend

      1. Rotation City
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        He's been running cold all preseason. I'll believe it when I see it.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          We saw it last season. and he had a good game at the Emirats too - just didn't score. Maybe it's just about timing this season.

    4. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      For me, it is a question of his price point and what he showed last year. Not to mention Payet seems to be the real deal.

    5. Root
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Disagreed. He's a huge differential. Selected by: 3.5% with 16K transfers out this GW.

  12. Rotation City
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    0.3m drop for Walcott, ouch. Looks like everyone gave him that second chance against Palace.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      🙁

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Had to

    3. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Expected Wenger to start him for the away game for counter attacks. When that did happen, why keep?

    4. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Almost everyone.

  13. Mr.Bojangoals
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Not seeing too much of Redmond about, and he's only 1 goal behind Mahrez having played 60 min less. At 5.5 he could be a great coup; thoughts?

  14. John Easten
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Aside from Aguero, who are the other inform striker right now in the premier league. I really wanted to play my fantasy team with three striker instead of two, though anyone?

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Gomis

    2. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Diouf looks good and has good fixtures

  15. dush64
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Can I get some feedback on my WC team?

    Myland
    Lolarov Jenks Francis Gomez Richards
    Silva Depay Payet Ayew Anya
    Kun Pelle Diouf

    1.8itb. Plan is to downgrade Pelle to Deeney in 3 wks, and upgrade Ayew or Depay to Haz / Sanchez.

    1. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Hooray for top of the page visibility!

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Go Sánchez now. No need for Payet and Ayew.
      Downgrade Pelle to Gomis fe if you drop Ayew. I'd still go two Arsenal mids bzw (Ramsey)

      1. dush64
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I want Ayew for this week versus Sunderland though. Will probably ship him a week after, and do Pell, Ayew --> Deeney, Sanchez.

        I don't think Arsenal will rip it up v Liverpool, so I think it's safe to wait a bit.

        I'm not sold on doubling Arsenal mids - they split the goals a lot last year. Sanchez was profilic when the squad was ravaged by injuries, but split points when everyone came back.

        Thanks for the suggestion, will mull it over!

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Not sold on Depay BPL-wise yet. Like your GK, def and frontline and transfer plan.

      1. dush64
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, Depay is a risk. But even in the first two PL games, his stats were good (I think?). WIll think that over.

    4. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Where's Mahrez?

      1. dush64
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        He's in my squad at the moment, value-adding. Not planning to keep him though.

        He's in great form, but I don't see him keeping it up much longer. I feel as though he's the bandwagon that's least likely to maintain goalscoring ability throughout the season.

        Or, of course, he could be Ramsey 2.0.....

        1. Nicks93
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I dont think thats an informed opinion at all

          1. dush64

          Just to add to that - even towards the end of last season, when he looked pretty good, he managed a single brace and that was it for goals / assists.

          http://www.transfermarkt.com/riyad-mahrez/leistungsdaten/spieler/171424/saison/2014

          I really doubt he'll keep this up.

          1. Nicks93
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            New manager, new players, higher confidence.

            I really cant find one good reason not to get Mahrez at such price

            1. dush64
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Fair enough. That seems to be the prevailing opinion, hopefully it works out!
              Cheers for the tip.

      Thanks for suggestions all. Plenty to consider 🙂

  16. Zoostation
    • 11 Years

    I promise I will stop asking Silva vs Yaya after this. Will settle it for me:

    A: Silva Kolorov Barkley

    B Yaya Kompany Payet

    thanks!

    1. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Can you afford Silva Kolarov Payet? If not, then the second.

      1. Rotation City
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        This

        I can't unfortunately. Which is why the second may have to be the choice.

        Just wish we knew how nailed on Kolorov will be

    2. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      tough one ... B just because I worry about rotation with Kol and Bark

    3. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      B

    4. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      B

    5. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Yaya, Kolorov, Payet

      1. Zoostation
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Why Kolorov over Kompany? Not worried about rotation?

        1. Francescoli
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Kolorov is in exceptional form. Don't see him getting rotated for a while. As long as you have a decent sub, think he's the most exciting fantasy defender to be honest.

    • 13 Years

    I read where Liverpool is trying to keep Sakho. Does that mean Lovren is still not nailed down?

    1. TorresMagic™

  19. President John F. Keninnsie
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I'm really not feeling the Gomis love...

    Thoughts on the best two strikers for 15.5m?

    I've considered...
    Gomis & Benteke
    Sakho/Diouf & Benteke
    And even Sakho/Diouf & Giroud 😯

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Ayew better pick then Gomis, imo

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Diouf Benteke if you Payet, Sakho if you don't

    2. Root
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Kane and Vardy

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        That is an option but I don't want double LEI attack.

      2. Diva
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Ooh, nice out if the box suggestion.

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Diouf / Tekkers for me

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I like option B, or even Kane + 6

      I still putting trust on Pelle though

    5. Diva
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I like Diouf and Benteke (or Kane and Diouf if you can find the extra).

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I could get Kane and Diouf if I went for Ayew over Payet... Hmm.

        1. Diva
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I prefer Ayew over Payet personally based on what I see in the underlying stats so far.

    6. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I am going 3-5-2 with Kun and Kane.

    7. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Sakho w/ Benteke, and perhaps then Ayew in the midfield perhaps. But it's all much of a muchness I think. I'm in a similar spot to you though - really not enthused by any of the strikers bar Aguero...

    8. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers all, good food for thought!

    9. Francescoli

        1. Francescoli
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Fair enough. I wild carded last week and have Aguero, Gomes, Sakho. Standard really.

        Thanks. Chelsea are a wounded animal, and Hazard is always the likeliest to be involved in the points. I suspect (read: blindly hope) our stubbornness will pay off.

    Not wildcarding or Taking a hit,
    Your thoughts are valued highly. Should I take a -4? Hazard a good Cap option? Benched the right players?

    Ruddy
    Bacuna-Williams-Cedric
    Mata-Chadli-Eriksen-Hazard [C]
    Sakho-Aguero [VC]-Pelle

    Bench: Hennessey-Westwood-Francis-Huth

    My thoughts are that Chelsea have got 1 point from a possible 6, and I see Hazard scoring in their triumph over Pulis' men away. Also in 2m rank so I need to take some risk to cover ground.
    (Who would've known I would've called Captaining Hazard a Risk 😛 )

          I transferred out PVA to abode the drop.

          Kane's fitness is fine. Poch said his wording was wrong. He subbed him off because of some calf knock.

    2. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Similar to my own dilemma. I like the idea of having a striker in that mid-higher priced striker price bracket, which sways me to one of Tekkers and Pelle as the 2nd striker. Perhaps Tekkers and Sakho?

      Really nothing in it though.

    For the guys on a WC - is anyone of you also thinking of getting Haz in addition to Sanchez & Yaya/Silva? If he is not in the team now, it means quite a massive hit later...
    This would probably mean the defence would look like:
    Ruddy/Rudd
    Huth Williams Lovren Jenkinson Prödl (to not have defenders not playing)

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Sakho just signed a new 5-year deal apparently so look for another 5.0 option other than Lovren
      If those teams have good rotation and semi-ok defensive record I think it's worth it
