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.

    What was that guy called who came on here last season and made about 5000 posts in a month, was on here 24/7, was doing awesome, then lost the plot and committed fpl suicide? That was funny.

      Don't remember the name but know who you mean. Wasn't he really high up, like top 100 or something and didn't want to commit? Was trying to give his team away

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

        Nah, that was thefantasyfreak. That was weird too though.

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          that was really weird "hey ummm guys I have two teams who wants one?" Who did he give it to in the end?

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

            I think he ended up just keeping it himself, not sure though.

      Was it Rickardinho or something?

        Yesss that's the one!

            10 years, 4 months ago

            Yes, that has been said. I just started posting here at the time he quit, I remember the to do about it. Maybe that's why people think so.

        Legend

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      what time in the season was it?

    5. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Rickardinho?

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

        Yup! Wonder what he's obsessing over nowadays...

    6. The one who has a knock
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      American guy? Can't remember his name.

    7. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      he also was a 9/11 denier or something. lost the plot was a bit of an understatement. that being said i am 98% sure he's here.....i just dont know who he became.

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

        That's the guy. I think if he was here... we would know about it!

        1. Leaf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I'd also be pretty confident he is here somewhere

        2. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah he can't help himself. 9/11 was the American government, aliens have a base on the dark side of the moon and are in cahoots with the illuminati, germ theory is a made up story. The final straw was him hijacking a conversation I was having with fitzy about the Sydney gunman that took over the cafe, that was the australian governments doing to push through anti terror legislation

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

        9/11 denier? I think everyone knows now who really done it. Pretty much public knowledge.

    8. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Rickardinho 🙂 he's never come back since I snapped it at him over his conspiracy ramblings. Funny, weird guy. Seemed quite nice too when not talking sh1t

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

        Ah, so you're the one who broke him! 😉

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          It was long overdue tbf 🙂 that was after his transfer meltdown. He was still coming on and as you can imagine with no fpl to write about he went to his other favorite topic more often

  2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I figured I'd explain my plan for the A.O.A chip as I think it's actually a good one...

    I think that the most effective time to play it will be after the DGW which you have used your bench boost. Why?

    - You can wildcard to a team with 5 good midfielders/3 good strikers
    - You can load your front 8 with good attacks, and the back 5 can be the guys scrapping for clean sheets in the DGW's (like Hull last season!).

    Example:
    GW 36 WC
    GW 37 Bench boost
    GW 38 All out attack (If there's going to be a DGW 37 which I believe there is? having 8 attackers from random teams can pay huge dividends as the last day of the season always has a surprise or two)

    I think this is one of the only times you'll have 8 good attackers to actually take advantage of the AOA chip. At the moment my 5th mid is Fletcher and most others will be Wanyama etc, who lets be honest aren't really going to score many points!

    Just a thought. Obviously if your defence hits the wall then it may be worth playing earlier to save a hit on a defender transfer or something!

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Sounds sensible, but if I need to use my AOA chip sooner (e.g. if I have 3 defenders injured/suspended one week) I won't be that bothered about burning it earlier.

    2. CABAYE4
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Honestly don't think it's worth much at all, I'm sure plenty will actually lose points by playing it.

      There's normally at least once in the season where I'm struggling to play 3 defenders without a hit, I'll be playing it then.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I was already looking at 38 as its a week when defensive form goes on holiday. This wildcard idea make it even better 😀

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

    short and sweet, is kompany worth the money

    Yes or No?

    1. Jay_
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Yes

      • Bubz
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Well he's not going to score every week. Kolarov on the other hand.....

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

          ...will most likely be benched after scoring a corker

        2. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Has a 50% chance of being dropped every week

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

            I will believe this when he is dropped!

            1. Ayew Serious
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Have you only started watching football this season?

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

                They're a different team this season. His link up play with Sterling is outstanding.

                1. Ayew Serious
                  • 10 Years
                  10 years, 4 months ago

                  ...

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

                    Do you disagree?

                    1. Ayew Serious
                      • 10 Years
                      10 years, 4 months ago

                      Not at all! There link up play has been amazing.... Doesn't mean he wont be rotated

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

                        I dunno... if it keeps winning them football matches, whilst keeping clean sheets, I see no reason for him to be dropped any time soon. Then again, he may do in the harder matches. But I want him for the home game fixtures vs weak opposition!

                          10 years, 4 months ago

                          If he's doing that well defensively why would he not play he harder games?

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

                          Did a fine job vs Chelsea didn't he, so yeah, I see no reason.

        This 🙂 .. Looking at the falls list everyday reminds me of the time i used to look at the pass/fail lists back in school to check if me and my friends were one of the unlucky sods. Problem is this happens everyday now!

      2. Huddersfield

        Not rising is the new falling for WCers

      Feel the need for Chelsea cover. So which?

      A.Hazard & Watmore
      B.Albrighton & Costa

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        get Pedro for 9.5

        1. randompunter
          • 15 Years

          Not yet for me. Dont like unknown quantities

        Yikes, that's between a rock and a hard place.
        A I suppose, forgot about whoever watmore is. He'll rot on you're bench

      10 years, 4 months ago

      Any Man United Fans here....

      Will never happen as everyone is only after the 'big' names but would any of you like to see a cheeky Charlie Austin signing? 15m......proved himself in the premiership last season with an awful team!

      Thoughts?

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

        No. I'd like to see a player with more pace, and someone good enough to relegate Rooney to the bench next season, if not this season.

        1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          who is that realistically in the next ten days?

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

            Yeah, if we're talking next 10 days, then there's unlikely to be anyone. Van Gaal/Woodward are to blame for that, leaving it this late. But Austin would only be short-term, he's not much of an upgrade on Hernandez and £15m is too much

      2. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        would take him if he does have knee ligaments

      3. Woeisme
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Decent back up. They probably need someone to be backed up more urgently

      4. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        No. Just no. Never in a million years thankyou.

        1. bring_on _the_fantasy
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Scored more than rooney & falcau put together last season too, i agree, not enough pace though

          1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            I know he did, and I rate him, but not for United thanks. Think a team like Spurs is about his limit.

            van Gaal wants more pace/trickery, so that all the weight isn't on Memphis' shoulders as the only player to make runs beyond Rooney - hence the Mané links....

            Austin has zero pace/trickery and average technical ability.

      5. j-whitehead-
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I'm a Liverpool fan and was hoping for a cheeky Charlie Austin bid, always in the right place at the right time, something we were in need of last season.

        Although it could be as much about the system as the players in our case.

      6. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Im a Utd fan. Think we should have signed Ings. He's a far better player

        1. 32chickens
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I am a citeh fam and yes you should-he will gather dust in liverpool

          1. j-whitehead-
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            We've been ruining careers for a year now, I genuinely feel sorry for Balotelli and god knows what's happened to Lallana, he looks nothing like that guy that played for Southapmton.

          2. j-whitehead-
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Ings needs regular games or he's probably going to stagnate and not reach his potential

    5. lfc123
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Thoughts on this WC team...?

      Butland | McCarthy
      Kompany | Darmian | Gomez | Schlupp | Oxford
      Silva | Mahrez | Ozil | Payet | Redmond
      Aguero | Benteke | Gomis

      Thanks

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Would defo want Sanchez..

    6. dharoc
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Final defence draft! (Hopefully!)
      Read an article about Man Utd defence stating that they had conceded the least amount of goals of all PL sides since November 2014 (Smallings return after ban). Thats why I've opted for Shaw.

      Butland - Ruddy
      Kolarov - Shaw - Ward - Richards - Targett

      Kola and Shaw will start every game. Ward and Richards rotate nicely and Targett will be on bench.

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

        Kola won't start every game

      2. scmdouglas
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        i like it although Kola might not get selected?

        1. scmdouglas
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          and Ward has dreadful pics, i would go with francis instead

    7. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 15 Years

      Can't believe no one has Hazard on their WC. Tunnel vision. Could easily be the highest scorer over the next few weeks.

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

        Sounds like an opportunity... Go for it
        I'll be over here watching.

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

        What effect will Pedro's arrival have I wonder..
        Will prob help.

      3. Najoman86
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Currently, my biggest concern is fitting Hazard in.

      4. Acquafresca
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        You have him currently Pep?

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

          Yes. And Kane. My team is ending up like my old team 🙂

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

        Yeah I'm a believer.

        It's either him or Sanchez. Sanchez had good stats in his cameo so I might turn to him, tho you can never be sure.

        11.5 for someone who and his team both are not in form does not look tasty.

        Fixs arent great too.

        A lot of value in under 8 MFs.
        Doesn't matter even if he explodes, I believe we can cover it.

          I guess I am also taking a bit of a longer term approach.

      147 players have dropped in price this week. Is that a record?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        It must be. I know it will continue to be ruthless this year.

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

          I hate wasting transfers just to avoid drops but it looks like it's going to be necessary this year.

      2. Thick Of It

        Walcotts - 0.3 is huge. And thanks to your username and grav I am now humming the bassline to "Ceremony".

          Love that song. There is a recording on youtube with Ian singing it which is great.

          1. PC 2015

            Me too. Actually played Lonesome Tonight on my way home last night. Still got the goosebumps 12 hours later. Stick it on. NOW !!

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

              Listening to it now! I've actually had Low-Life on in the car every day for about 2 weeks now. Sunrise is just brilliant.

                .....and what about Elegia ??
                That's me done now. Need to wake up a bit.Love Vigilantes in the shower should do the trick:)

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

                  Of course, but it has to be the 17 minute version of Elegia though!

          2. Thick Of It
            • 13 Years

            That really shaky demo where Barney fluff the guitar line and pulls it back...just. Lovely.

              What an incredible drummer though. I love watching JD videos just to see him drum.

                have you seen that lego version of transmission?
                he's ace in that

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

                  I've not seen that - sounds interesting! Will check it out in a minute.

            Love the Galaxie 500 one, I always enjoyed Moby's "New Dawn Fades" as a guilty pleasure too.

            1. hibster
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years

              saw dean wareham play it twice last year B-)

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

            Those are both great. I love the Radiohead one especially due to the higher tempo.

            • 15 Years

            haven't checked these, but have you heard Jeremy warmsley's temptation, or laura viers' love vigilantes?

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

          wonder what the gigs will be like later this year...

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

            I'm not much of a fan of the new stuff so think I will avoid. Wish I was old enough to have seen them in their prime.

    9. @FPLStrategist
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Guys and gals on WC...

      Shaw or Darmian?

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Darmian I've plumped for.

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

        i got darmian at 5.6 (now 5.7)
        Shaw is now 5.6 (unexpected rise as per FFF)

        both of them are doing awesome

        I feel Darmian has better stats

      3. suddenorgan
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Shaw is surely going to get injured at some point

        1. The Gambler.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          3 games back to back is his record run of games

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

            if we're counting Brugge that means he's due a niggle sometime tomorrow

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

        Darmian is the better option IMO but Shaw if money is tight.

      5. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Shaw based on the fact Utd will attack down the left more now Depay is playing there.

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

          I don't get the impression Depay will be passing it to Shaw a lot.

    10. The Raging Bull
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't bother with Pedro in FPL. His previous stats are from offensive Barcelona teams. He's now playing in a Mourinho team. Jose is someone who has a Ferrari but drives it at the minimum speed.

      1. Stoke me a Clipper
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Nonsense

        Top scoring player in FPL last season was a Chelsea player

      2. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        The first half of last season they did well going forward, not sure if they'll revert back to that though

      3. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        he'll get goals but he's nothing special pretty much alot of tap ins created by messi like suarez/sterling 2 seasons ago

        1. Frank Black
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          You clearly haven't seen him play.

          1. Studgie G
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            you haven't. who hasn't seen barca games

      4. Frank Black
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, that's exactly what he did with Inter, destroying the best club team in football history. Plus Chelsea...twice...plus Bayern...

      I see a guy earlier asking the best place for stats and all said join here.
      Well I challenge anyone who does not have a credit card (ME) to get the paltry sum from South African shores.
      I have asked Jonty for bank details so I can pay directly as my debit card does not work on this site.
      I have to:
      Prove I cannot get goods or service from an SA source.
      Proof of address (Rates and taxes bill)
      An air ticket showing I am going abroad.
      Get Revenue Service and SA Reserve bank approval.
      Once again HELP!

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

        Simple. Get a credit card, or use someone's you know and give them cash.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I wish it was that simple. Credit cards are evil and the Reserve bank audits all transactions.
          Believe me, we are in a Zouma police state here.

            Is living in SA as stressful and dangerous as our media makes out?

            1. Eze Really?
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Dangerous in certain areas and burglaries are rife no matter what security you have.
              Drugs a major problem and hitting black population.
              Unions and the labour act killing employment.
              Mines suffering.
              Government owned companies rotten to the core.
              Taxes can't meet the fiscus.
              Insurrection on the cards!

              I love SA but its hard to be optimistic.

        Nothing on Everton newsnow. It's all Yarmolenko and Ranocchia

    17. The Pep Revolution
      • 14 Years

      How confident are you that Gomez will start?

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Put it this way, if he starts vs arsenal away then he's pretty much nailed on.

        1. Captain Shirokov
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Nope

            His place to lose

              • 14 Years

              He's first choice alright, but will inevitably get rotated

      2. Bubz

        2 clean sheets in 2? No reason why he wouldn't.

        Richards.

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

        So Gomez is playing Arsenal
        And Richards is playing Crystal Palace

        Hmmm, is it not obvious?

        1. Chef Ramsey
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks everyone, Richards it is
          But I'll have to live with benching a Gomez brace tbh

          1. Ryan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years

            You're not being confused with Gomis are you? Gomez is a defender.

            1. Chef Ramsey
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Nope, although I have Gomis as well

              1. Ryan

                10 years, 4 months ago

                Gomez won't get a brace. You can relax

                1. Chef Ramsey
                  • 12 Years

                  Murphy's law
                  but don't worry, Richards starts

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

        Richards

      Very interesting...

          So you're a United fan then?

          1. The 12th Man
            • 12 Years

            No, Everton.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              I was just joking. I knew you said "us" for Everton...but United get beat on every transfer!! Oh well.

      Anyone care to stab at Stokes attacking mids line up?

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        When fully fit

        ------VanGinkel---FPL irrelevant
        Shaq------Bojan-----Arnie
        -----Diouf/Joselu

        Those 3 behind the striker 😯 and now they are trying for Yarmolenko too

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

          What about Afellay?

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Arnie's on form.

          2. Valar(Keith)
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Probably a straight fight between Arnie and Afellay..
            Walters to cover for Shaq and Ireland to cover for Bojan

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

              Some great creative options there certainly. Their full backs are going to have to do a lot of defending though!

      2. Heytch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Walters Affelay Shaqiri
        Diouf

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          No Arnie? 🙁

      3. QPR expects... glory!
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Shaquiri, Bojan (when fully fit), Arnautovic?

      4. The Bandit
        • 15 Years

        As I thought... Think I'll wait for now 😀

      Wildcarders should pick up Pedro, his price will only rise from here

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

        Triggerlips-esque misdirection.

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I know he's had the luxury of feeding/being fed by Messi but he oozes goals + assists/90

      2. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        No idea when/where he will play and CHE fixtures still tricky. It's a big gamble right now.

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

        Behave

      4. Chelsea Dagger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        I'll take my chances and not get him until he proves his value

    21. Just A Hat
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I have a date tomorrow so making my final WC team now, shall I trade out Yaya Toure now or sneak off during the date after the price rises tomorrow night in case he rises .1 again for a profit?

      Morning all. Looking at Jenkinson, is he a good option for WHM? How nailed on is he?

      1. The Bandit

        Yes and yes. Great user name 🙂

      Is eriksen worth considering as an option or is he overpriced? Got a nice run of fixtures coming

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

        Chadli much better imo

        1. jiGGidyJ1

          This

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

          that was my first impression, but chadli's stats put me off. although he does tend to rack up the points without recording great stats

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

        Very worth considering

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

        Played very, very well in the first two games. Full bonus in a 2-2 draw where he only got an assist shows how well he played

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

      Is Courtois a bad option?
      I'm basically thinking in terms of not missing the Chelsea clean sheets whilst not having to worry about azpi and rotation and the others being too pricey?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I'm actually liking this

      2. Ted Maw
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Think he's a great option. Mou likely to batten down the hatches IMO

      3. Daniel Exeter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Check out the stats of Courtois last year compared to some of the cheaper keepers i.e. Schmeichel / Begovic, Panti, Foster, Forster. I think you'll be surprised. I know I was..

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

          I know he won't get as many saves or baps and he was injured a bit last year but he's say 0.6m cheaper than Azpi and carries no rotation risk in general but it covers the majority of the Chelsea clean sheet points with little rotation risk and which of Chelsea's back line is nailed on now?

      4. jiGGidyJ1
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I think he's a great option. Never have to rotate him and he's the cheapest way into the Chelsea defense

      5. TekkersFC
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Azpi wont be rotated

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

        Great option

    25. Cheshire Duck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Otamendi at 6.5? Is that a joke ?

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

        Apparently he scored 6 goal last season.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Kompany is £6.1m and is going to score 38 apparently

      2. Oz lotto
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        won't go there. prem defenders are overrated. I have mert and ivan and I'm not happy about it haha

      3. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years

        crazy.

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

        Pricing fail.. Same with Pedro.
        No EPL experience, big risk.

        I think Pedro should have been 8.5 max and Otamendi 5.5.

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

      Wow, more than 50 per cent of the top 1,000 captained Yaya Toure or Vincent Kompany in GW2... against Chelsea.

      This is why I am not worried about what the "top" players are doing right now.

      1. Geordienufc1
        • 12 Years

        *facepalm*

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

        That's the only reason they're in the top 1k 🙂

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

        Where do you get these kind of stats Diva? 🙂

        1. Diva

        They're visionaries. Who are you to look down upon them :D?

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

          Haha, true, they had the players we all want before we were ready for them. But captaining them? Against Chelsea? That's ballsy... or dumb luck.

        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        TBH its not that amazing. The top 1k at the moment are mostly fools who captained weird players that somehow got them loads of points. The top 1k is a total fluke right now. I would take no notice of the top 1k or even top 10k till at least 10GW's when a proper sample size of GW's has been and gone.

        1. Diva
          • 11 Years

          You and me both Ryan. I had a little disagreement about this with Torres Magic earlier. 😉
