        Cheers. That's where I was leaning. Please see my entire defense below. Would love some input. I usually don't struggle with starting choices, but this week is tricky.

    Please RMT for this coming GW, all feedback appreciated

    1. Helia
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      nice team. just wondering though do you have alot ITB?

      1. CelticBhoy1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah 1.9ITB, will use when another striker emerges to play alongside Aguero

    2. Lukey27
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Targett>Darmian

  3. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Do you guys think it would be ideal to have Wilson + Aguero up front in a 3-5-2?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      who is your other striker?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Either a 4.5 or Ighalo. I'm on a WC.

        If I went with Ighalo, I would have a benching headache every week between Mahrez/Ighalo/Wilson

        1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Take the headache in my opinion. Who knows when someone doesn't play unannounced a la Kos and Mert. When someone gets a stupid red card etc

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I am not sure there is such a thing as ideal in this game. But is decent.

    3. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      It will be good for now. When the big guns start firing, you can switch.

    4. Polo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I have, it worked last week. Lets me get 4 big guns in midfield (and mahrez!)

    5. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Nah, I toyed with many options and having that cheap 4.5 mid really helps things along all over the rest of the team and lets you get the big hitters and a decent mix

      Not that sold on Wilson, WHam totally f&cked up for the goals

    6. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Trim your MID and get Costa + Kun. That'll be deadly.

  4. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Which move:

    (A) Sakho to Wilson
    (B) Sakho and Mane to Wilson and Pedro (-4)
    (C) Benteke and Mane to Wilson and Sanchez (-4)
    (D) Mane to Ozil/Shaqiri/Ozil/Chadli/Payet/Ayew

    1. Helia

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers. I already have Hazard, would you still go Pedro?

        1. Helia
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          okk interesting. maybe id get pedro for now and then look at swapping hazard to silva or sanchez in the future... pedro seems the way to have great chels cover and still have silva sanchez aguero i feel

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Unless Sakho injured, has a good run of fixtures from GW5

      Benteke is in form

      Mane out, keep the others

      You listed Ozil twice as an option to replace Mane so seems you want him... Shaqiri and Payet have favorable fixtures in their future, Chadli & Ayew are in form... all good options.

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Wilson has very good fixtures and is set to rise in price though.

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Yes, that's true.

    3. Lukey27
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      D-Shaqiri

  5. BananaNose Maldonado
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Which three would you start this week:

    Williams MUN
    Shaw swa
    Richards SUN
    Targett NOR
    Muniesa WBA

    This defense needs to be upgraded, but this week's fixtures are actually pretty good.

    1. sleecc
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      1,3,4

    2. Helia
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      richards targett and one of williams or shaw.. probably shaw

      1. Helia
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        or williams actually.. man u dont look like they can score

      2. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        We're just not trusting Stoke's defense at this point, right? A shame given their upcoming fixtures are starting to look good.

        1. Helia
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          a shame.. i think shawcross is a huge loss there. other fixtures look good though aswell for the other options. a good problem to have

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

      Why does it need to be upgraded?

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Well, Targett likely is out once Bertrand is back, and I don't trust Muniesa. For now, it'll do.

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

      Shaw & 2 from the bottom 3

    5. Tomlette Greggs

      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

  6. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Guys, I am far from a knee jerker but I think I've overpaid for Sanchez. It's all about value, and he seems on the expensive side given some of the options around.

    What are your thoughts DZ?

    1. sleecc
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I am sure there are some more urgent issues than transfer Sanchez out.

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        To you maybe. Feel free to discuss them. That's what I'm doing

    2. Helia
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      his the clear option from arsenal.. had alot of chances, could of easily scored in every game his played so far.

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        True Tbone. You're dead right in that, all things being equal, he would be the best option from Arsenal, but does he justify the additional 2.5?

        I'm looking at Coutinho and the fact that he is 8.1 and how much of a threat he looks and it's making me think...it seems that everything Liverpool do is going through him

        1. Helia
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          i considered that too. i dont feel like the other arsenal mids will offer much consistency.. and it just always seems like sanchez is getting the ball in the box.. and many say sanchez will be top scorer fantasy wise this season.. i think hell be top 3.. not first though.

          i dont think what you paid for sanchez is something to worry about, im hoping he justifies that pricetag very soon! any other way to get coutinho in?

          1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Ok, thanks for the thoughts bro. I am 0.1 short of Payet -> Cout. It's gutting!

            1. Helia
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              ahh hate that!

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

      all the cheap options are delivering at the moment, but this isn't sustainable...i hope.

      1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        True. But when it comes to Sanchez the replacement can be on the premium side and still offer a very handy saving

    4. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He's the only Arsenal man to have and I'm happy having him there for a while

  7. Tree House
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Gomis + Depay OUT

    Wilson + Pedro IN

    Worth a hit?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      no

    2. OLE BOLEH!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      on my mind all day (all week too) long too.
      same 2 subs for -4.

      i cant sleep.

    3. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      No

    4. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Keep thinking of these moves too.

  8. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Been tinkling with many different WC teams, but keep coming back to this:

    Butland, McCarthy
    Kolarov, Lovren, Prodl, Francis, Coates
    Silva, Sanchez, Pedro, Chadli, Mahrez
    Aguero, Diouf, 4.5

    0.0 ITB

    What changes would you make? Love the look of 3-5-2

    1. Helia
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      i dunno, i think id like it better without chadli and gomis up top but thats me

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Don't know why not many people like Chadli on here. Cheap nailed Spurs mid that has blanked only once from his 3 games, and that one game was at Old Trafford.

        1. Helia
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          its not that i dont like him.. i just feel there are better options out there

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Fair call. I'm tempted by Gomis, but fixtures now turn for Swansea.

            1. Helia
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              true. you have a great team there nonetheless.. im just being fussy. watched 2 of spurs games now and they just havent got any fluency going forward. struggling to get into good attacking positions

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      One option I'm thinking is:

      Diouf to Wilson
      Chadli, to Shaqiri

      Upgrade defence/3rd striker with 1.0 ITB

      1. sleecc
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Diouf > Gomis
        Chadli > Shaqiri
        Lovren > Gomez

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Can't afford that

      2. Jay Jay Okocha
        • 12 Years

        I like this

  9. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone doing Aguero triple captain pts this week?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      why not wait for double game weeks in the spring?

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't you want to triple captain when he has a double gameweek?

    3. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, forgot about this lol good call

  10. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Question for those who've watched Bournemouth this season. Is their attack really that good? I don't know if I should get Wilson despite their good fixtures.

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      They didn't score in their first two matches.

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        And I have Wilson and I'm telling you that. He's my third forward - which is nice insurance - but I'm not exactly banking on a hattie every week. I'm rotating him with Redmond.

      2. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        They are very decent against villa though

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I think their style of playing. Tbh only watched the game against villa but i think that they are quick and attacking. I think goals will come

    3. Helia
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      wilson scored from 3 of 3 shots.. was very efficient.. dont think that would happen every week. in saying that.. ive got wilson. that cheap nailed striker allows alot of room for upgrades elsewhere so fingers are crossed

    4. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Well it was Wilson's first senior hatty, they hadn't scored previous and each of their goals was easily mistake from a Wham defender and absolutely gifted to them

      It's a safe enough wagon to ride with those fixtures and if you caught the first Wilson rise.

    5. Peter Russo
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Bour only good against sides that play a high line thats what west ham did leaving gaps down the right and middle with nearly all the goals...if you play deep and hold your position they will struggle like their first two games even though they do pass the ball around well wilson is short and fast so he wont win headers and wont receive the ball with his back to goal...but seeing that they have games against similar level teams they will find that space and will get in behind with the fast wilson so I think its good to have him and rotate him with your redmonds ritchies etc

  11. Venom Snake

    G'day g'day.

    Memphis to Pedro for free or save?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I would do it.

    2. sleecc
      • 10 Years

      Do it.

      Wow haha

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Problem is it leaves me no more wriggle room to get Benteke

    6. Helia
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      i concurrr ^^

    7. Lukey27
      • 11 Years

      Yes

  12. OLE BOLEH!
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    is wilson the real deal?
    is pedro the real deal?

    1. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yes.
      Is this a serious question?

    2. oghash
      • 10 Years

      Does God exist?

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Richard Dawkins

        1. oghash
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          He does consider himself one, you're right.

    3. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      U expect them to score like aguero? Lol

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

      W - 14 goals for the season (including the hattie)

      P - 7 goals 14 assists for the season

      that'd be my guess

      whatever that deal is

  16. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Which option do you guys prefer?

    A) Chadli + Diouf
    B) Shaqiri + Wilson + 1.0 ITB

    P.S - Diouf/Wilson will be my 2nd striker in a 3-5-2 formation 🙂

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Gradel + Diouf + £1.0

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        you love Gradel too much 🙂

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          He's better then Wilson

    2. Pickled and Preserved
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I have B, but 5.4 itb :O

    3. Helia
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      B... only cos wilson has nice fixtures for a while. if that wasnt the case A

    4. Lukey27
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      B

    5. oghash
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      You don't want Wilson as a second striker.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        That's my worry. But the team is a 3-5-2 so It shouldn't be too bad?

        I'm thinking maybe use the 1.0 ITB to upgrade my 4.5 third striker to a 5.0 and rotate him with Wilson, could cause benching headaches though.

        1. oghash
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          It's not that it shouldn't be too bad. How annoying is it to see that number 2 or 1 underneath a player when the rest of your team has done reasonably well. Even more so when you see it twice. If your midfield has an off day, which it will, you're stuck with hope. hope sucks like a fat girl on a cream cake.

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Strikers are more likely to have an off day then mid-fielders, no?

            1. oghash
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              They are, but look at Sanchez this GW, Haz first two, Fab all 3 to name the first 3 off the top of my head.

              1. Puyol Pants Up
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

                The top 3 scores from midfielders are:

                35
                28
                24

                The top 3 scores from strikers are:

                21
                20
                18

                Strikers more likely to blank then mids?

                1. oghash
                  • 10 Years
                  10 years, 6 months ago

                  Too small a sample size 3 weeks in.

                  1. Puyol Pants Up
                    • 11 Years
                    10 years, 6 months ago

                    Fair enough. But I have been noticing that mids are getting BPS for 1 assist, strikers in the other hand don't get anything when they score a goal (eg, aguero, gomis)

                    May have something to do with it

                2. Jay Jay Okocha
                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 6 months ago

                  Small sample size theatre

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

      A, PPU.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Hmm. I guess it all depends on what I do with the 1.0 ITB for B?

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

          to be honest, i'm not a fan of Diouf or Wilson as a second striker.

          I would be more comfortable with Gomis/Benteke/Lukaku as a 2nd striker.

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            But the 2nd striker in a 3-5-2 is equivalent to a 3rd striker in a 4-3-3, right?

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

              Not necessarily, the 3rd striker is now your 5th midfielder 🙂

              If i were to go with a 3-5-2, I would want to be focusing all future transfers on my midfield. With Diouf/Wilson as your second striker, I don't think they will be a strong enough source of points and with a few options at that price range, the temptation will always be to tinker.

              Classic case in point was the Bojan > Naismith > Ulloa debacle last season.

              Primary benefit of 3-5-2 should be matching value & price in midfield instead of stacking it with premium options. 2/3 defenders should play week in/week out - which you have. I would still prefer Yaya over Silva if it means ugprading Diouf to say Benteke/Lukaku.

              1. Puyol Pants Up
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

                I see where you come from. I would prefer Yaya over Silva if I could upgrade Diouf to Benteke/Lukaku. But I can't afford it. The good thing with Diouf/Wilson is that they have great fixtures coming up, I can't see myself getting rid of either one of them in the next month or so. But you do have a point.

  17. Clintymints
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Any rotation risk for Shaw with Rojo back soon?

    It seems LvG has settled with the current lads, but Blind, Rojo are the other Lb defenders that could easily slot in

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Not if Shaw maintain his form and fitness.

      1. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Fitness being the key one. Darmian is a Trooper and Shaw is a wet paper towel... The .1 really is going a long way and I can't decide who to drop! Tis tricky and they're both pretty even baps and stats wise

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I think Blind lacks pace and Rojo challenges CB. I might be wrong.

      1. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        No I'd agree totally. Blind seems to be doing well with Smalling and I totally wrote him off at cb at the start for the same reason of lacking pace

        Just curious really since I'd rather ditch Shaw over Darmian! 1 less wc for Shaw all the same

    2. Helia
      • 10 Years

      defence a little weak there.. prepare to be stuck with targett soon. rest looks strong though.

      1. fplej
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        agree. the only way to beef up defence is to downgrade tekkers (to gomis) or silva (to yaya)

        i wish i had got yaya @ 8.5 when i could've, but it wasn't meant to be

        i do technically have city/chelsea defence cover though so i feel it's ok..or could be a false sense of security

        1. Helia
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          i wouldnt downgrade silva.. downgrade tekkers to gomis then you would have the same front 7 as me. but you could do a nice defence upgrade. get pool defence.. lovren or gomez

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years

    Butland
    Shaw kolorav Francis --- huth Coates
    Mahrez sterling hazard chadli mane

    All set? Not a massive fan of my team but will slowly tweak it. Worth another hit if mane is injured?

    4. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      A.
      Why selling Sanchez? He's by far the best performer for Arsenal.
      Credit to LFC defense to have kept them at bay yesterday but I'm sure as the pressure rises for Arsenal, they'll start firing all cylinders.

    4. El-Kloppico

    Hi deadzone!

    So, inspired by Fantasy Flutter, I've started putting some money (spare change really) on EPL matches each week.
    Does anyone have suggestion on what markets are good? eg. clean sheet, handicap, anytime goal scorer, etc.

    eg. I know that big accumulators are a bad idea, since you multiply the profit margin for the bookies, and that the big team bets (eg. City to beat Watford) are unlikely to offer good value.

    Anyone have any experience on this?

    1. dush64
