The time comes when every Fantasy Football manager has to react quickly to douse some fires in their squad. The problem is, my team is currently a blazing inferno, without a disco in sight.

At least that’s Granville’s opinion. Buoyed from seeing his canny capture of Anthony Martial deliver a brace at St Mary’s, my cocky co-host is quick to dish out a whipping to my ailing lineup.

We discuss the merits of United’s new teenage sensation as part of another round of community questions, served up once again by Jonty. The three of us also ponder the Chelsea revival, David Silva’s fragile ankles and just how our Fantasy Football managerial styles translate to the dog world: a crunch question that’s been brewing unanswered for many episodes.

    Just did Benteke -> Martial.

    I decided earlier not to do that, but I feel a little tipsy because of the flu and fever I got.
    So I decided what the hey, let's go with it..

    1. super zlatan
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Good move.

    2. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Very Maverick, haven't seen anything like it

      1. Sponge-worthy
        11 years, 24 days ago

        Hardly maverick!!! 🙂 , but so does one's mind change.

    3. copps
      11 years, 24 days ago

      at least you can blame it on the fever if it goes wrong. i've got no excuse.

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      11 years, 24 days ago

      You made the right choice sir..I missed that gravy train

  2. copps
    11 years, 24 days ago

    us silva owners deserve some respite. from that opening game "yaya goal" to mysterious minor injuries during which he can still play CL, if he is out tomorrow that is a harsh blow.

    1. Numb
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Been a nightmare to own

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        11 years, 24 days ago

        Like mane but it was worth the pain in end..like silva will be

  3. jonnyleeds
    11 years, 24 days ago

    Pasqualinho I raise my glass..... You have made me laugh. Here endeth the lesson.

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 24 days ago

      You ott nothing. You're nothing but a lot of talk and a badge!

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 24 days ago

        Got**

  4. super zlatan
    11 years, 24 days ago

    If silva is confirmed out who is the best replacement?

    A) haz
    B) KDB

    1. Demelbrush
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 24 days ago

      If you've not got 3 city, you really should so I'd say KDB is a better transfer

      1. super zlatan
        11 years, 24 days ago

        Even if it means no Chelsea players?

    2. copps
      11 years, 24 days ago

      probably A. i would want silva back at some point though.

    3. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 24 days ago

      B, because he will take Silvas position, but under normal circumstances Hazard

    4. Epic Fail
      11 years, 24 days ago

      B

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Tough tough choice..flip a coin it's that close

  5. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 24 days ago

    Team for this week:

    Butland
    Darmian, Kolarov, Dawson
    Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mahrez
    Aguero, Wilson, Martial

    Who would you captain out of this lot?

    1. Milner4eva
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Payet or Martial.

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 24 days ago

        Have to say I had it on Payet all week then switched to Martial last night after that goal.

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 24 days ago

          This.

          Probably backfire now.

    2. Sunamimanu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Any idea if Mou will play Baba instead of Ivanovic ?

      1. super zlatan
        11 years, 24 days ago

        Payet

        1. Burger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 24 days ago

          Who you going with Zlat?

  6. Kurtinho
    11 years, 24 days ago

    Close to doing Benteke > Pellé. Hesitant about next weekend's match away to Chelsea though. Should I just pull the trigger?

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Aye

  7. Tomlette Greggs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 24 days ago

    any news on Silva?

    &

    Will be using WC after GW8. Do either of these moves for a hit?
    A) Silva to de Bruyne? (-4)
    B) J.Gomez to Moreno? (-4)

    1. Numb
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Not yet

      Depends on above

  8. FPL Emu
    11 years, 24 days ago

    Demi, I noticed some of what you wrote earlier this week about Martial and your reluctance to get him in. Had the same feeling as you then, and have been holding onto Lukaku for that reason. I know Lukaku isn't exactly setting the world ablaze right now, but I actually kind of like his fixture, and the Martial transfer still feels a bit knee-jerky. Have you changed your view, or do you agree?

    1. Demí
      11 years, 24 days ago

      I agree that it feels kneejerky, but got him in anyway more for the price rises and his potential to get a big haul this week. Thinking short-term, and probably gonna sell afterwards, though others may not have that luxury. Having a care-free attitude to hits this season, but wouldn't recommend him to others so easily.

  9. gribude
    11 years, 24 days ago

    so benteke most likely -.1 tnite?

    1. copps
      11 years, 24 days ago

      i think so yes

    2. Numb
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Yes

    3. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Touch and go on around 97%!

  10. super zlatan
    11 years, 24 days ago

    KDB to rise tonight?

    1. Kurt Zouma
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Should do

    2. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 24 days ago

      I'd say so! 98.1 on fpl stats right now

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 24 days ago

        doubt it

        1. Ayew Serious
          11 years, 24 days ago

          I'm only guessing, you are probably right ↪

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 24 days ago

            hey I am too 😉

    3. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 24 days ago

      could survive. he's been rising slowly and most of the transfers will be Friday regardless. he was 90% on Monday night at the time of the changes.

    4. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Been there or thereabouts last few nights his percentage keeps being adjusted

  11. Kurt Zouma
    11 years, 24 days ago

    Rondon or Berahino?

    1. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Rondon

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Rondon. Someone on here said WBA are playing a 4-5-1 with Berahino wide now

    3. st4rt__
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Rondon. NQAT.

    4. gribude
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Berahino for me...

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        11 years, 24 days ago

        +1

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Rondon
      .shame he plays for West Brom who don't score.very dangerous player

  12. 1966 was a great year for E…
    11 years, 24 days ago

    Would you play

    A) Sako (wat)
    B) Ayew (sou)
    ?

    1. The Light Knight
      11 years, 24 days ago

      A if you aren't going to tell us C or D 😉

  13. SMOOTH
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 24 days ago

    any chance that coutinho to hazard for a -4 can be worth it?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Yeah

      Definitely

    2. copps
      11 years, 24 days ago

      not worth it imo. coutinho home to villa is not the worst game

    3. DaddyPig
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Do it, hazard is the better player in the better side.

  14. Mull
    11 years, 24 days ago

    Benteke to Remy tonight or should I wait until tomorrow?

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 24 days ago

      I wouldn't do it any day.

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Now

      Right now

    3. st4rt__
      11 years, 24 days ago

      You shouldn't do it at all.

    4. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Mull, I chickened out of the Remy transfer, I just can't trust him to play

      Went with Ighalo instead, follow me

    5. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      11 years, 24 days ago

      It will end in tears

    6. Mull
      11 years, 24 days ago

      I'll probably end up being boring and buying Martial.

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        11 years, 24 days ago

        I prefer Ighalo

  15. chilli con kone
    11 years, 24 days ago

    What do you think the Bouremouth v Watford score will be the following GW?

    Crucial in deciding when to go AOA as I've got Wilson, Igloo, Nyom & Francis

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Bournemouth 2
      Watford 3

      1. Ayew Serious
        11 years, 24 days ago

        You think Watford will concede to against Bournemouth?

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          11 years, 24 days ago

          They know each other

          1. Ayew Serious
            11 years, 24 days ago

            Should that not mean low scoring?

            1. Heels_Over_Head
              11 years, 24 days ago

              I stand by my original statement

    Demi, Jaanmat anytime card worth it? Up against Hazard and could be a repeat of Montero 😛

    1. Demí
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Great bet imo

    2. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 24 days ago

      A card and a goal, what are the odds?

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Haz vs the defensive abilities of jaanmat eh

    1. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Demi doesn't do the early Liverpool team, some other dude does, cant remember his name but his Grav is a Liverpool crest

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 24 days ago

        yeah I know, we were talking about it the other day. I asked him to hot topic it for me 😉

        1. Ayew Serious
          11 years, 24 days ago

          A Sticky will do grand

      2. ​
        11 years, 24 days ago

        Davysteen

  23. Pariße
    11 years, 24 days ago

    No FTs. If Silva's out what do I do with 10.7m?

    1. Pariße
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Westwood is the 5th mid

    2. Mull
      11 years, 24 days ago

      De Bruyne

      1. Pariße
        11 years, 24 days ago

        thanks

    3. copps
      11 years, 24 days ago

      KDB or Pedro

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Kdb
      Easy

    5. Shipstontrev
      11 years, 24 days ago

      KDB

    6. Milner4eva
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Don't take a hit! Liverpool aren't good, I wouldn't be shocked if Westy grabbed an assist or something

  24. Starvaiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 24 days ago

    Butland / Ruddy

    Prödl / Bellerín / Cédric / Oxford / Martin

    De Bruyne / Sánchez / Payet / Redmond / Chadli

    Pellè / Agüero / Wilson

    Time to get rid of Chadli and/or Redmond?

    If so, who's the best replacement? (not Mahrez as he's unavailable in my ML) Shaqiri?

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      11 years, 24 days ago

      I would concentrate on your defenders

    2. Jimbo123
      11 years, 24 days ago

      I'd be inclined to sort your defence

      Who's available?

      1. Starvaiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 24 days ago

        All non man city players really!

  25. Bainesill
    11 years, 24 days ago

    Anyone considering captaining Azpilicueta? Almost guaranteed clean sheet and possible BAPS?

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 24 days ago

      😀

    2. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 24 days ago

      I don't think he will get Baps because they will be taken by attackers

      1. Starvaiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 24 days ago

        False

    3. Fat Ronaldo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Missing Baines that much he'll captain any left back

    4. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Rogue

      1. Bainesill
        11 years, 24 days ago

        Mentioning the word "Rogue" makes me more inclined to do it haha.

    5. Milner4eva
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Nope

    6. THE Wild Rover
      11 years, 24 days ago

      No, but happy to have him 🙂

    Pellegrini isn't typically cryptic right? We'll know exactly how well Silva is doing? Or could it be the dreaded 'late fitness test'?

      He was forthcoming with news about Aguero last week

        Thanks for the Walcott quote earlier. Didn't see it until a few hours after posted because I fell asleep. Much obliged

          No worries

    So then, Aguero and Sanchez owners..

    Who are you captaining?
    If you are captaining one of them that is

    1. BlzE_94

      Sanchez

    2. Optimus.
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Martial

      1-1?

    4. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Aguero, why?... Totthenam

      1. Milner4eva
        11 years, 24 days ago

        You just answered your own question there 😉

    5. THE Wild Rover
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Aguero

    6. Pariße
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Aguero first game
      Sanchez worse form

  28. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    tekkers to rondon..............done

    gulp

    1. Pariße
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Wouldn't buy an attacker from the most defensive team in the league.

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        11 years, 24 days ago

        youre probably right

      2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        11 years, 24 days ago

        Benteke was playing for one of the worst teams in the league last year so was Austin

        1. Camp No No
          11 years, 24 days ago

          Austin played for the most attacking team in the league though, and Tekkers mostly turned good when Sherwood took over and decided to go all out attack.

        2. Pariße
          11 years, 24 days ago

          Didn't say the worst, I said defensive...what Camp Mou said is very true.

          1. Camp No No
            11 years, 24 days ago

            As per usual. *smug*

            However, there are good reasons not avoid a Pulis team forward, in condition that he actually plays upfront.

            1. Camp No No
              11 years, 24 days ago

              *not to

          2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            11 years, 24 days ago

            Point taken but I still think he is going to be an excellent option with those fixtures and he is getting plenty of shots in the box

    2. Optimus.
      11 years, 24 days ago

      flair 🙂

    3. THE Wild Rover
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Could be great, certainly not gulpworthy

    4. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 24 days ago

      +1 for avoiding herd mentality

    5. Root
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Mistake. Now you can't triple up with WBA defense.

    6. Fat Ronaldo

      Good shout

    7. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 24 days ago

      nice move. Went with Bojan personally. Rondon was my other option.

    8. Kurtinho
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Good move. I was close to doing that, but opted for Pelle to maintain team structure.

    9. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      11 years, 24 days ago

      cheers all, mainly done to have a mnf player 😀

      Good luck Col. Benteke to Sakho for me. I ll deal with Costa tomoro night

  29. Pariße
    11 years, 24 days ago

    Likeliness of Silva being fir for Saturday, might be helpful to know before KDB's probable price rise today.

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 24 days ago

      I think KDB survives the night.

      1. Pariße
        11 years, 24 days ago

        Hopefully...on 98% accoring to fplstats, 1st in line accoring to FFF.

        1. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 24 days ago

          he was on 90% or so on Monday evening 72 hours ago

          1. Pariße
            11 years, 24 days ago

            Oh thanks, didn't know about that...fplstats are more accurate than FFF anyway.

  30. Mahrez
    11 years, 24 days ago

    Yaya > Mata/Payet?

    1. BlzE_94
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Payet

    2. Ayew Serious
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Why Sell Yaya, he was so attacking last week?

      1. THE Wild Rover
        11 years, 24 days ago

        He could have had a massive score, no way am I selling

      2. Mahrez
        11 years, 24 days ago

        Payet and Mata are also attacking and *I think* are more likely to score

        1. Milner4eva
          11 years, 24 days ago

          Seriously, Yaya looked so good last game, compare his fixtures with those of Payet and Mata too. NEW, BOU next - you'd be making a big mistake in selling him IMO.

    3. Heels_Over_Head
      11 years, 24 days ago

      Mata, price rising tonight

    4. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 24 days ago

      prefer Payet
