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.

    I can't decide between the Ayew's and the Payet's, the Diouf's and the Gomis of this world'.

    So would leaving 1.5 itb with the following WC team, for application wherever necessary, be a decent strategy?

    Butland - McCarthy
    Kompany - Darmian - Morgan - Richards - Francis (if 4.4)
    Sanchez - Silva - Ayew - Mahrez - Westwood
    Kun - Gomis - Sakho

    Haven't really thought too much about my set of 4.5 defenders yet.

    Swansea, to me, have the best fixture this week in Sunderland, hence the double up.

    Options for the 1.5 include:
    1) Upgrading McCarthy
    2) Upgrading Gomis to Tekkers
    3) Upgrading Ayew to Depay, or any other exploding 8.5 mid

    Time to just give it a rest and hope for the best?

      yeah i like the idea of saving a bit of cash in the bank to see what kind of players rise to the top, following a big wild card week.

        Thanks Jeanz, appreciate it.

  2. asianbeast

    The squad looks like this:

    Courtois (Butland)
    Shaw, Kolarov, Williams (Oxford, Richards)
    Sanchez, Silva, Payet, Hoolahan (Arnautovic)
    Gomis, Aguero, Deeney

    0.4 in bank

    1) Deeney over Arnautovic? (So'ton has a wildly porous back line recently)
    2) How are you all feeling about Courtois?

    If Kolarov is on the bench this week there will be chaos here

    1. Test Eagles

      SCENES

      Eventually he will be, at least from a rotation point of view.

    3. st4rt__

      Not a problem long as the bench is strong

    4. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      This week no chance ..he has been in form and superb ..two or three weeks from now we cant say ...but shouldn't be a problem if you have a decent backup

    @ Ryan ... how's the squad looking mate?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Mignolet
      Bellerin Shaw Cedric
      Sterling Ozil Mane Mahrez
      Aguero(c) Kane Sakho

      Huth Gomez Ibe Hennessey
      -4

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I'm content for now

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

          I'd be happy with that methinks. No concerns with Sterling at this stage?

          1. Ryan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Yep I am. I'm willing to give it a bit more time though.

  6. asianbeast

    10 years, 4 months ago

    Got cut off,

    The squad looks like this:

    Courtois (Butland)
    Shaw, Kolarov, Williams (Oxford, Richards)
    Sanchez, Silva, Payet, Hoolahan (Arnautovic)
    Gomis, Aguero, Deeney

    0.4 in bank

    1) Deeney over Arnautovic? (So'ton has a wildly porous back line recently)
    2) How are you all feeling about Courtois?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Arnautovic did look good last week but I would go for Deeney

      Bergovic deserves to at least get another game after last weeks performance but in all likelihood courtois will return and keep a CS

      1. asianbeast
        • 10 Years

        Cheers.

        yes Sir.

      2. Root
        • 14 Years

        I had it too, in addition with Sunderland defense double up. Such failure. Wildcard activated...

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

          Played Double + Shaw GW1
          Mert + Shaw + Gomez GW2
          Sunderland double .. ouch

      3. asianbeast
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I've always wondered what turned people off about Ben Davies. Good 4.5 option, I've always thought

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

          Not a regular starter.

        2. Huddersfield
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Easy , not nailed on

  8. Trigg ⭐️
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I take it Aguero is the popular captain choice, then?

    I'm thinking my Rooney and Depay are enough of a differential without captaining.

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Aguero is always captain choice. Maybe gomis is a decent choice this week too

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

    How is it looking? 0.6 spare

    Schmeichel - Butland
    Kolarov - Darmian - Skrtel - Richards - Francis(at 4.4/other at 4.5)
    Sanchez - Yaya - Ayew - Mahrez - Westwood
    Aguero - Benteke - Sakho

    Butland (McCarthy)
    Mertz - Kompany - Targett (Clyne - Richards)
    Hazard(c) - Ayew - Silva - Albrighton (Westwood)
    Kun(v) - Diouf - Pelle

    Any thought on my captain selection and my DEF selection. Think Chelsea has a statement to make and are bound to bounce back, else their season is finished before it even starts.

    I don't think LFC will produce a good performance (no CS) against Arsenal, they are still not up.

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      No Arsenal mid?

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Not for this week. Maybe will swap Hazard to Sanchez for next GW.

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

          Selling before a fixture like Crystal Palace (H)?

          1. El-Kloppico
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Will assess Chelsea's perf. and that of newcastle against Man Utd before deciding anyway. Maybe I'll go for Ozil if Hazard starts exploding.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Chelsea might have a statement to make but it won't happen against WBA.

      Choose Gomez/Lovren over Clyne

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Clyne is more attack minded and have greater chances of putting an assist, with big-tekkers out there. He was my favourite last year's too, so I'm sticking with him until I'm disappointed.

    Anyine going Rooney captain?
    I'm a little hesitant now to put the arm band on him for the 3rd time in a row

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      You'd have to be a pretty hard core United fan to put the armband on him now. Still, it is Newcastle and Rooney could be up for it after all the negativity in the press.

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

        You almost have to be a pretty hard core United fan to even be keeping him in your squad right now, to be honest. I know you are one, Ryan, so no offense meant, but wowzers, I didn't exactly see his start playing out this way.

        But yes, it is Newcastle and he did seem from his presser to have been a ...bit... embarrassed by the last performance. Maybe it will light a fire and we can see all the bandwagons crash into each other in their attempts to reverse course.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I actually called him out in the burning question articles during pre-season. I said Rooney is unlikely to succeed in the striker role simply because its been too long since he's been a main striker and no longer has the killer instinct. I still had Rooney in my team for the early weeks as a place holder for Aguero but in hindsight I should have just gone for Aguero right from the start

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

            I remember the article and it persuaded me. I had him at the start as well, but also just as a placeholder. I did end up going with Aguero from the start and the kickon effect of that was me ending up with Mahrez instead of Mane. Still had Rooney last week because I was enticed by the upcoming Newcastle match as well, but after seeing nothing this last week either, I wasn't willing to roll the dice again. He got shipped out this week for me.

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Yep and fair call. It should be clear to LVG that United desperately need a #9

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      he will get an assist and end up with 5 points if you are satisfied with that..

  14. KagKagKag
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Guys which out of these do you think is the best mid-price attack + midfield combo.

    1. Gomis + Ayew
    2. Gomis + Chadli
    3. Diouf + Ayew

    I like first, but don't want to double up on Swansea. Any other options ?

  15. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    What do you guys think of this?

    McCarthy
    Darmian Williams Targett
    Hazard Sanchez Silva Mahrez
    Aguero Gomis Wilson

    Myhill Ward Westwood Richards

  16. st4rt__

    Pick a team - A or B?

    Butland (McCarthy)
    Williams - Darmain - Richards (£4.5m/Francis)
    Payet - Pedro - YYT - Mahrez - Alexis
    Kun - Gomis (Watmore)

    £0.2m spare.

        Hmmm, it's a tough one. Any reason?

          Money
          Silva>Yaya
          Diouf>Watmore
          Chelsea too much of a mess right now to bank on Pedro fitting in and producing right away, and the more midfielders they have, the more the points are spread around

          1. st4rt__
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Pedro will come in straight away though with Oscar being out still, whether he produces or not is a different story, that goes for every fantasy pick. Is Silva worth the extra £ when I have Aguero though?

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

              Hard to say. I sure don't know for sure, but you asked why I answered the way I did and those were my thoughts. That's all they are... my crystal ball is in the shop. 🙂

              1. st4rt__
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                I appreciate it. Any particular you reason you prefer Silva over YYT though?

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

                  He is the focal point for everything their team does. Until last year, you got mostly assists, but not so much in the way of goals. Last year, he started taking more shots and now you get both. You get goals alone from Yaya and unless he is big on the scoresheet, you don't get as much bonus from him.

                  Yaya's glory season two years ago still colors the perception around here, but a really big number of his goals/points that year came from penalties he took when Aguero was out with injuries.

                  He does look healthy again, at the start of this season, and a rampaging Yaya is a glorious thing, but I also look at injury risk, and that is an area where I think Silva holds an edge.

    2. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      £0.7m spare in A btw, sorry. I'm leaning towards that. Just seems a lot more flexible.

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

      B is template.

      1. st4rt__
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly, but is that a bad thing? Like I say, I'm sorta leaning towards A. It's essentially -

        £4.5m, Pedro, YYT, and Watmore vs Kolarov, Silva, Hoolahan and Diouf.

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

          It's OK to zig when others zag. If nothing else has been shown around here over the past few weeks, it's that many people who were highly confident of the certainty of their choices have had to do some reconsidering.

          1. st4rt__
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Which again, is why I'm considering going for likes of Pedro/YYT rather than Silva/Diouf.

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

              Go for it.

          sorry for the late reply. didn't mean anything by my reply - just noticed you were posting on other teams rating it as 'template' so you should be deciding whether you wanna go template or not.

      is Baines a good option once Everton fixture ease up?

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

        Ankle injury. Out for quite a while. Fixtures will have eased up by then and I'd assume he'll slide right back in to his position, but I'd be nervous about his abilities to get forward at same skill level. Also, he isn't on penalties anymore so much of his prior appeal (and price) was tied up in that. Love him as a fan, but I don't think he'll find his way into my squad.

        1. I am 42
          • 12 Years

    damnit now I'm thinking about Courtois as an option after dumping all over it earlier

      It actually makes more sense now than in GW1. 5.5 is the new benchmark for a way into a premium defence.

        5.4* he dropped

          I know. I'm not going to get too technical here but Shaw at 5.6 and Bellerin at 5.5 etc, they are all in the same price category to me. The 5.5 category.

      We won't rub it in if you change your mind.

      (much)

      FWIW, that's the extent of my Chelsea defense coverage at the moment

    Is Oxford nailed on for the near future? If not, opinions for best 4.5 def?

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

      Not nailed on. Other rotation risks in your team: Hoolahan, Arnautovic, Kolarov

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

        Sure hope Kolarov ends up seeing a start this weekend.

      Pelle disappointed mightily in the CL match, should be due to explode this weekend. B.

      thumbs up

  23. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    so this is currently where I'm at..feels a bit template but I think it's solid

    Courtois - McCarthy
    Shaw - Kolarov - Williams - Gomez - Richards
    Sahrez - Silva - Payet - Mahrez - Westwood
    Aguero - Gomis - Diouf

    0.2m left over

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Sahrez is a great differential 🙂

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

      looks fine sinik. not sure about shaw, the rest looks good.

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        not sure because of United defense? or because of Darmian as a better option?

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

          I prefer Darmian, Smalling and Romero if i was to get a Utd defender

  24. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Best defender for 4.6m or under to complete this jigsaw.

    Ruddy, McCarthy
    Darmian, Kolorov, Gomez, Huth, 4.6m

    Hazard, Depay, Silva, Payet, Westwood
    Aguero, Gomis, Diouf

    0.2

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

      Francis is the best option in that price bracket, but I think you could need a player with a better fixture for next week. Maybe Ward.

    Lads, I need help picking between these 2 combinations.

    A) Ayew, Gomis, Sakho

    B) Payet, Gomis, Diouf

    1. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'm on B, I want Ayew and Gomis but I can't justify not getting Payet and doubling up on SWA.

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

      you and everyone else on here 🙂

      i have payet, gomis and sakho

    Good morning!

    Whitaker or Martin most nailed on at Norwich?

    Or better nailed on options for 4.5, except from Ward?

    1. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I like Francis. Watford look strong defensively too, good set of fixtures after City.

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

      Francis and Prodl are worthy of consideration.

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

        thanks! are they attacking, or good chances of clean sheets?

        1. st4rt__
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Francis is both. I'd look at Layun of Watford but I'm not sure on his game time.

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

          attacking fullbacks

    3. Root
      • 14 Years

      Morgan

  30. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Why is Rooney getting so much negativity from here and the media but Costa has barely been criticized?

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

      Low ownership.

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

        And this

    2. Gravless wonder
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Because nobody owns costa. Rooney is in most pre wildcards teams and flopped as captain

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Rooney is english?

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

      Partly because Rooney is English. Partly because Rooney has been worse.

    5. Desertbug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      And because people already hated Costa.

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

      Well the preseason hype re: Rooney has put such huge expectations on him and safe to say, he's flopped real hard the first 2 games.
