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.

      gtg,,just don't like ur keepers,,maybe downgrade huth to 4.0 and upgrade 1 keeper,,also can 5.0/4.0
      assuming ur formation 343

  2. IAmTheWalrus

  3. Don1911

    10 years, 4 months ago

    First time playing Fantasy Football, I played my WC so need some help and feedback.

    How does this look?

    Romero (Butland)
    Kompany Darmian Shaw (Richards Gomez)
    Ayew Sanchez YYToure Mahrez (Albrighton)
    Gomis Kun(c) Diouf

    with 0.2 ITB.

    Feedback will be appreciated, how can I improve this team? Thanks

    1. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      It's good, benching headache though, will you not want to start Mahrez and Albrighton always?

      1. Don1911
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I know.

        I am not sure who to bench!

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

      You don't need to double up on Swansea and Leicester attackers. Consider Payet.

      1. Don1911
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Whom should I drop?

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

      Not balance, triple MU defence, front 8 rotation headache.

      1. Don1911
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        What do you suggest I do?

        Who should I replace Shaw with?

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

          Downgrade 1 of your premium defenders, especially MU defenders, and upgrade your mid. Get someone cheaper for your 5th mid and treat as bench player in your team, only to provide cover in case your first XI not starting.

          1. Don1911
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            How about go from Shaw -> Target that frees 1.5

            then I'll have 1.7mil to play with. Who should I spend that on to upgrade? Payet for Ayew? How should I play it out?

            Honestly, there are not many sure-shot forward options in the premier league so I am not sure who to pick apart from Kun.

  4. Indian_Ronaldo
    • 11 Years

    Is it worth bringing in otamendi and pedro?

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

      Not now.

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

      Otamendi costs more than Kompany. So no. Pedro at 9.5 is at least 1.0 overrated IMO.

      1. Saint & Reevesy
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Surely its impossible to asses Pedros relative value he hasnt kicked a ball yet.......

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

          He's kicked plenty of balls, many of them into the goal 🙂 The problem with him will be starts

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

            He said: "Josè called me and told me he wanted me to be a starter".

      2. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Lol u cannot have every player listed as a bargain. 9.5m is a good price. Given that he might take a few games to start performing..there could be a price drop too.

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

      Otamendi is overpriced imo, not worth more than Kompany, who's the known commodity. Pedro maybe, but give it a few weeks.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      no and yes respectively

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

      **** no

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

      No & OFC

  5. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Why is Williams in every WC team here?

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

      Swansea are a great defensive side, he's only 5.0, hovers up baps, and their fixtures are solid

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        What is the back up proof for their 'great defensive side'?
        2 games vs 10 men

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

          Last season seems to be pretty good evidence.

          1. OPTA FPL
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Fixtures look not good for CS though

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

              Good call, but still, would be happy with Williams on my team. Some tough home games but could keep cleans in the away fixtures against weaker sides. That said, I'd rather have Lovren over him at a 5.0 slot at this point.

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

      he is in my team from the start. Best 5.0m option

    3. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Because some people put him in the team and then everyone follows. Only 2gw ago he was a differential. Though fair play he has a good record in getting bps

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        but their fixtures very trisky for CS

    4. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Hes about the only pick i got right in my original 15!

      On WC and only him, Sakho, Ruddy/Rudd and maybe Haz will survive

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

      Best 5.0 option. Cedric was a fail

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

    For those one earlier. My little lad is now in theatre having his operation.
    So far so good... The forum is helping distract 🙂

    1. Prøphet

      Hopefully all goes well!

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    rank your top 3 GK combos if money wasn't an issue

    1) Courtois McCarthy
    2) Schmeichel - Butland
    3) Myhill - McCarthy

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

      I have 2) and didn't even consider others. I simply chose butland for fixtures and Schmeichel to cover his hard games.

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

        I'm the same as this.

    5. Francescoli

      1,2,3

    6. Captain Peacock
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      If money wasn't an issue, I wouldn't have dross like McCarthy.

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

      Cech, courtois

  8. cjw176
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Hey guys, this is my WC team

    Courtois (McCarthy)
    Kompany Darmian Williams (Richards) (Gomez)
    Sanchez Silva Payet Redmond Mahrez
    Aguero Gomis (Kone)

    Is it worth me donig Sanchez to Depay just for the Newcastle game then switching back?
    Also is Gomez a risky pick or should he be nailed on?

    Thank you! 🙂

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

      pool arsenal games are highscoring

      tough i own both depay and sanchez 🙂

      1. cjw176
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Thank you I think I'll stick with Sanchez for now

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

      Gomez is definitely risky but I'm tempted to have him in mine just because of the lack of decent 4.5's so far

      1. cjw176
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers Mark I agree. If he can nail down a regular spot he will be a steal

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Sorry, its not a slight. Just seems to hold a lot of weight round here he does, seems to know a lot

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            This is because he contributes such a lot. 🙂

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

              Very good, thought he was a scout or some fantasy angel hybrid

              1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years

                He is a Scout as well.

          2. Gaz Downright
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years

    any other opinion on thus, Best 3 (4.5)Def out of this lot? thx

    1Gomes is he the best value, so far as it seems moreno playing OOP.

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

      I think if you're going to have Gomez, you need to make sure your other two are nailed and rotate well

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

      Gomez has gone up in price?

      Him anyway. Plus Ward and maybe Huth? Prodl and Francis were tipped to do well but still waiting.

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

    Starting 2 of Gomez, Richards, Huth this week
    Which 2?
    (I realize I asked a very similar question earlier but I forgot about Huth)

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

      And it seems as though it's now between. Gomez and Huth

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

        surely its the same answer. why would you pick gomez playing arsenal?

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

          Just I'm always nervous about Arsenal
          But I am going to start Richards and Huth

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

            you're talking about a Liverpool defender. why would you be nervous about Arsenal's attack?

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

              I have a bad feeling about this game
              However, common sense prevails, Gomez will be benched

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

      Don't see LFC ending this weeks game with a CS though. I'm benching Clyne.
      I would have gone for Huth and Richards

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

    Fpl stats has about 50 players in the 90+ region expected to drop tnite 😯 , while FFFix has just 15(and i own none of them 😎 ) .. If FFFix is even partially right that'll mean 0 loss in team value with just one FT for me this week ie Coates to Williams 🙂

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Nicely done. 🙂

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

      Funnily enough the panic to WC saved us non WCers from losing value 🙂

        Apparently so ... although I still find it hard to believe that they differentiate ...

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

          Twas the case last year too Doos.

            Right. OK. 🙂

      Who are the 15 potential droppers? I'm reticent to give my password away to sign into FFFix!!

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

        dont give it away.. you can login via your fpl id. I'd never give my fpl password to anyone. wish i dint have to give it to fpl 🙂

        1. Third Eye Vision
          • 13 Years

          I'm surprised by how often this comes up. Like the people who have designed a useful fantasy football aid, are really just part of a conspiracy to log into their customer's accounts and bench Aguero.

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

        Anyway the main ones are
        Sinclair, Mane, Rose, Francis, Panti, Jerome, Lescott, Milner

        Use your WC when you need it. You can't really plan that far ahead.

      8.5
      25.5
      37.9
      27.5

      Pretty big on defense since teo of my transfers are PVA -> Kolarov & Targett -> Gomez, but I will sort it when I downgrade Jenk or even Kos.

      Mid is lightweight despite owning Haz since my 2nd mid is Mane, but then a City midfielder is always coming in.

    I took Kolarov out forgetting about his price rise earlier this week and couple other players to see what my XI would look like and now I've lost £0.1m. Silly me.

    1. The Bandit

    2. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      If you sell him before he next rises you won't technically have lost anything. Strange consolation I know haha

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

      Such a silly thing to do haha, checked all my players before I did it then I realized straight away that I brought in Kolarov like on Monday, ah well. It doesn't actually affect me thankfully, hopefully Francis drops to £4.4m and/or Gomez rises tonight.

    4. Ryan

      So easy to make little mistakes like that on a WC. I remember selling Ivan on my WC last season but bought him back for 0.2 more as I had changed my mind. Very silly.

  17. Fifa las vegas

    Where da fck are they going with 6.5 for Otamendi!?

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

      to the 0% ownership tree

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

      And pedro 9.5 is a strange one

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

      I too would love to know the reasoning behind that. Did he score a crap ton of goals at Valencia or something?

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

        6 i think

    4. The Pep Revolution
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Goal potential on top of City looking impressive defensively this season. It will be interesting to see what De Bruyne is priced at.

  18. asif316uk
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Courtois a good cheap way into the Chelsea back line?

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      62 caps too........ 😀

      Yes wtf!

  19. 123thro
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Any chance Mane is dropped because of these transfer rumours about him to Utd? Cheers 🙂

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

      he wasn't dropped for the europa league game, so doubt it

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

      That's partly it. But also because he's been unlucky to score so far and others want to capture risers (i.e. Mahrez, Payet) to build TV. I'm sticking for this week, his stats are very solid

      1. 123thro
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Sorry for being unclear mate, but I meant him being dropped by Koeman for Southampton, kinda like De Gea has been dropped by LVG.

  20. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Surprised to see that Bournemouth has more crosses and touches in the penalty area than City

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 15 Years

      SO youre saying I should get Wilson? 😉

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

        I prefer Ighalo, rotates with West Ham from GW 9-17 (Bournemouth is opposite)

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

      Decent side but been unlucky. I think Ritchie will bang them in soon. A good replacement for Mahrez is he loses form.

    3. Venom Snake

      Just waiting for that Francis drop..

    5. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      That's probably because of the difference in style of play. Man city have Kolarov who crosses and that's about it. Crossing for the most part is easily the least efficient means of scoring.

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

        Agree, both stats don't necessarily translate into scoring, it just jumped off the page to see Bournemouth so high up there

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

      goes to show that stats aren't everything.

      same case with Trippier at Burnley too.

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

        Yep, see my comment above

  21. Kingston
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    With the dearth of forward options I'm surprised nobody isn't looking at a 3-5-2 and rotating Deeney and Wilson. This allows you to get all the big guns in other positions. Thoughts?

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

      Gomis has 7 in 8. Wouldn't say there is a dearth

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

      Because in a 3-5-2 you should have a big gun forward partnering Kun

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

        Why? I'd like to question that logic

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

          Because they'll get more points than Deeney/Wilson. If you disagree then do that, good luck to you

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

            Maybe they would but then you have money to be spent elsewhere that should gain you more points

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

          Forwards are where the points are, more chances to scores goals which equals more point opportunities, especially if theyre on penalties

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

            Midfielders score as well if not more than forwards

            1. Tiamani Warrior
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              never mind them kingsy I think its a great plan and im rolling with it

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

                At least I'm not completely losing the plot. Reassuring

    Anyone playing the Sun Dreamteam on here .
    They've gone over to a stats based rating system and look to have made a complete hash of things !
    Mane awarded a 7+ rating tonight and Pelle was awarded Starman . Last week Man Utd vs Villa Rooney was awarded Starman for one of the worst games he has played for a long while !
    How could they get things so wrong ?

    Who to bench?

    Tadic (wat) Ramsey (LIV) Ayew (sun) Chadli (lei) Payet (BOU)
    Lukaku (MAN C) Pelle (wat)

        I had Tadic or Rambo in mind so that's helped thanks!

    Settled on my Wildcard (I think...). All comments appreciated, let me know what you all think:

    Butland McCarthy
    Kompany Cresswell Muniesa Francis Targett
    Sanchez Yaya Mata Payet Wanyama
    Aguero Gomis Vardy

    0.5m ITB to do Mata -> Fab maybe next week

    Cheers!

      double stoke?

        Yeah that was my doubt - who's your pick for a different 4.5m DEF?

          Ward, Morgan better bet. If you have another 0.1 then Richards or Gomez.

        2. Gooner Kebab
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Huth, Richards, Ward? I'm sure you'd find 3 to rotate.

    Just a bit of bedtime reading for the DZ. I thought a few might be interested.

    Apologies to West Ham fans but it was at the top of the search page.

        Better than a poke in the eye, but not worth risking your Premier League status over.
        Good if you can do OK in both.

        Peanuts when you consider the new Sky deal gets each club at least 100M a season.
