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.

    Quick question

    Which of these leagues would you be interested in joining?

    a) A league where GW rank under 1m or less with hits is needed to survive.
    b) H2H knockout competition based on rank
    c) suggestion for something else

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

      A sounds impossible...

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

        I ran these sort of leagues in the past but it's quite impossible if the template fails.

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

          Especially this season.

    2. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      B

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

        Me and my mates have a 'worst team' league. Minimum 95m spend and least points wins.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      B as in rank seeds the matches so nth best plays nth worst? If yes B

      C: Pairs Tag-Team league (nominate one player each week, if no pair don't nominate in a week, last weeks player is used)

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        *a pair doesn't

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

        I ran one with 256 players back in the day. Luck of the draw but plenty enjoyed it.
        Interesting idea for c). Been done in a way although it was the total of both teams.

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I like that because it gives the better players some sort of protection in the h2h randomness of fpl. Another idea would be two-legged head to head ties.

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

            2 legs could work. One season top 11K was the cutoff for 256 at GW29.

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

      C, without including captain's points?

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

        Sounds too basic.

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

          Didn't know you want something complicated 😀

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years

      A H2H over 7 seasons 😉

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

        HoF is the real guide. 😛

    5. the cromulent one
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Probably B.
      A would be too much of a crap shoot. Everyone has a bad gw (or two) where their gw rank is over 1m.

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

        In the old day, 1m was pretty simple. Not so much as casuals pick better teams.

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          2m?

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

            Maybe half the entrants at the time so 1.6m or whatever.

    6. chunk

      B sounds good

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

        So many people is the main issue.

        It well and truly stuck on -

  6. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    @Walsh

    Surely Pelle is a decent pick if on WC for next few games?

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

      i think he is... just alot of value elsewhere which would be why his been overlooked by many

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

      I don't think so if on a WC. Only the next 2 or 3 fixtures looks promising. After that, I'm selling

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      not Walsh, but he is. The only problen is there are three other forwards much cheaper with similar points potential.

    3. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Well, I'm.getting so... Nah, nah 😀

        Come on EVS since when did you need to ask these underlings for advice 😀

            • 14 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Bit of early season pressure on many of the Pros round here ... we might have all talked each other into some bad punts i dare say!

  7. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Best 4.5m keeper (not butland) is...

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Myhill

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

      Most will say Myhill. They'd probably be right.

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

      Schmeichel long-term, Myhill until Foster is back

    3. Crystal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Krul if you're in it for the long term

  8. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Any advances on the Myhill / Butland double up?

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

      Trying to decide between them myself...

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

      mccarthy Butland is pretty sexy too

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights

        Yup that looks decent too actually.

        10 years, 4 months ago

        Hadn't checked out Leicester yet - will take a look now.

        I think I quite like Myhill as an option to get into the WBA defence.

      My Fab/Schmeichel combo has netted me 8 points so far. Just saying.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        0.5m more than I'd like to spend though unfortunately.

  9. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    There's something I like about Amavi....

    Maybe it's just that point in the week where I really am considering every option for my team.

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

      I have seriously considered him, Andy. Only my prejudice about Sherwood defences steers me away. But he may well get a fair few assists for Gestede.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Only 2 weeks in but Villa not that high up the chances conceded table. They did play a very poor United side though.

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

          I know. But I have a fixed idea that Sherwood teams can't defend and it will take a bit more evidence before I adjust it. Just me.

      2. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        As boring as it is I'm coming back round to Swansea as my 5m defender. They rotate nicely with Bournemouth and I think I'm happy to give Francis a shot.

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

      He's great, just too expensive. Much like Trippier last season - player's too good to be 4.5m, but the team isn't defensively strong enough for him to be 5m.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I have space for a 5m defender and currently looking at him instead of Williams. Could play him for next 4 but it's risky.

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

          He's a good option. The advantage of getting Richards or Clark is that you can play them in the favourable fixtures, but then not worry about a waste of funds when you need to bench them - I think Amavi should score well, but then force you into a transfer soon after.

          1. andy85wsm
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah - probably a transfer I won't want to make so I'll be stuck with him during the poor fixtures. At least with Williams I won't need to bench him so often.

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

      There us lots to like about amavi just not the team he is playing in or his price considering he plays for that team.

    4. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 4 months ago

      He's fantastic. Check out his dribbling stats. Shame he's 5 but I don't think he will be at Villa next season.

  10. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    4.5m midfielder of choice....Westwood? Surman? Wanyama? Does it really matter?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      D 🙂

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

      Surman and no, probably not.

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

      Not truly, unless you have a team with lots of ifs and buts.
      Westwood personally

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

      I'd go westwood or darren fletcher, doesnt really matter tbh mate, have you considered a 352?

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I've not really looked properly at 3-5-2 to be honest and don't really have the time to know unfortunately. Too much effort 🙂

        1. andy85wsm
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Basically if I go 3-5-2 I only really see it working if I drop Sanchez to Ozil.

          That or I need to drop some £££ in defence.

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

      Gone for Westwood personally, he's safer than flair options like Anya, doesn't pick up TOO many yellows.. Wanyama's goals last season were probably an exception to the norm

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

      There's some quality in the next price bracket (5.0-5.1m)

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

      Westwood for corners, Surman from open play, maybe. Wanyama also has a good chance of the odd goal from distance or a header from a corner, but might be more at risk of a price drop. Westwood or Surman as they're not card magnets, but I doubt it's going to make much difference.

    8. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Cheers all. Think I might stick to Surman.

    9. RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      on westwood myself

    10. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Wanyama

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

      I've got Wanywama but i'd get Westwood now if i could. I'm hoping it won't matter at all though as i'm not intending to ever play him.

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

      Im going Surman. Dunno why, just cos.

  11. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Chadli, 4.5m def (Ighalo)

    v

    Diouf, Williams (4.5m mid)

    ?

    Maybe 3-5-2 is the way to go...

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      A

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

      1st one but better options than Chadli IMHO

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Have Gomis and Mahrez. Who do you think is better than Chadli out of interest? 7.1m max to spend.

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

          Ayew, but if you have Gomis i suppose you don't want to double up.

          1. andy85wsm
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            I'm not dead set against it but I'm not sure their fixtures are THAT good. They look in decent form though.

        2. Sergeant Garcia
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Ayew!

    3. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      A if 3-5-2
      B if 3-4-3

          Have a feeling Diouf. Just
          His fixtures are better

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

      Diouf, 4.5m def and 5.0m mid

    5. meltedman

      Im not sure if any formation will make those combos look good to be honest (not trying to be a dick)

    Almost certain Gomez won't be starting regularly in a few games time but still going to go for him just in case. Will end in tears!

      kolarov and gomez on a wildcard this week. -8 to get some starting defenders next week

      Not a worry Andy, just transfer out when he's dropped. The points he earns in the meantime will even make it worth the hit to get rid. 🙂

        • Has Moderation Rights

        Don't even need him this week so if he's dropped the week after!

          Ifs ands buts and maybes. Who really knows? He's worth the punt imo.
          But then my season is the worst start ever I think.

  13. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Myhill + Butland = 3 games for Myhill in next 9

    Myhill + McCarthy = 7 games for Myhill in next 9.

    You just know even though the fixtures are better in the Butland rotation (at least until GW11) that benching Myhill that many times won't work out in your favour.

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

      Definitely. I dont want a Stoke keeper ever again. I had Begovic for his 'amazing' fixtures last season. Literally got me one clean sheet in 12.

    2. SL8

      Think I'm settled on paying the xtra for Courtois/McCarthy now

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

      Agreed. I'm just hesitant, as the 2nd combo just looks like trouble in around 2 months time when Myhill's position may be at risk. Added to the fact that we can only guess as to whether McCarthy keeps his place beyond 2 weeks.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Even if McCarthy doesn't keep his place it just means playing Myhill v Palace (a). Can always use a transfer to offload him later on if he loses his place to Foster.

        Looks like every single WC post. What is the question?

    9. 4vets
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      "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."

      I don't mean to be rude but why would Jonty wc-ing cause any buttons to be hit, let alone a panic one?

      1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 12 Years

        not sure its entirely serious, that

        1. 4vets
          • 15 Years

          It just sounds a but "Sun" to me.

      2. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Think in this case panic button refers to the wildcard button rather than they were panicked because of Jonty.

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

          But why would anyone one to wc just coz Jonty has?

          It's ridiculous.

            Think you're taking things a bit too literally - nothing serious....although they have both wildcarded 🙂

          The massive spider at the one hour mark should have been a greater source of panic. 🙂

        I'm impressed that you've found three different ways of phrasing this question.

    12. The Mighty One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Hey all...I'm thinking of a groundbreaking move of going 5-wide with 4.5 Defenders (OK...it has been done before, I know.)

      Please toss out 2 of these 7:
      Ward CRY
      Gomez LIV
      Huth LEI
      Richards AST
      Francis BOU
      Muniesa STO
      Ben Davies TOT

      Cheers!

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

        Ben Davies and Ward

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

        Two from Francis/Huth/Muniesa

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

        Rose will come in for Davies at some point. I've heard that Stoke are after another CB as well which would presumably put Muniesa's spot at risk.

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

        Ward Bavies

      5. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Bottom two. Not nailed

        francis davies

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

        Davies isn't nailed. Is Muniesa nailed long term? I'd lose these two.

        Also, Gomez and Francis are 4.6m.

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

          Should have said Gomez is 4.6 and Francis is potentially dropping to 4.4m

          1. The Mighty One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years

            Thanks! I knew what you meant...and I already have Gomes on the WC. Waiting for Francis to drop!

      8. Ludo
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Take out Davies straight away - Danny Rose is going to get plenty of gametime, particularly as soon as the Europa League comes around for Spurs.

        With the rest, I would just take a look at who you're going to play each week, and which rotation works out the best.

        Anyone?

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

      Anyone know much about City line ups last season? Is it either Kolorov and Sagna or Clichy and Zaba - or do they play kolorov and zaba together as well? Also where will De Brune fit into the team - in place of navas? What foot is he?

      1. GuyIncognito
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I think Kolarov's prospects this season are improved with Sterling in front protecting him. Zaba will surely start most games at RB. I assume Tintin and Silva will be fairly fluid in their roles.

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

          so de brune over navas? who's gonna protect zaba?

    15. Jeremiah
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Best option? 🙂

      A. Sakho, Depay, Kolorov & 4.4

      B. Diouf, Payet, Kompany & Francis

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

        A for the excitement.

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

        A if Francis drops, so he can be that 4.4.

        If it means that you have to pick a non-starting player, though, B takes it.

      3. Wrizard

        1. BabyB
          • 12 Years

          if he can nail down a spot.

    17. BMox81
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Convince me that going with Yaya, Silva and Aguero compared to getting a City defender instead of one of the midfielders is the wrong choice.
