Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

  1. Caesar Salahd
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    1 more fight until Aldo vs McGregor

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

      another hour then before it gets going.

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

      I like the McGregor fella.

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

      The Spurs defender versus the Hull keeper? 😛

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

    With a serious lack of captain options next weekend, is Myhill (C) at home to Bournemouth madness?

    1. Caesar Salahd
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      It is

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

        can't think of anyone better (in my team) at this stage.

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

      Definitely .Bournemouth one of the most attacking teams right now.

      As a non Lukaku owner I'm surprised he isn't the runaway captaincy option. I'm thinking of bringing him in out of fear now.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed. Maybe he is not explosive enough? I'm still sticking without though. Ighalo has been outscoring him for quite a while.

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

          Yeah I've got Ighalo Vardy and Kane. You the same? Lets see how Kane goes

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            I thought I was the only one going with that front line 😆

            What are you going to do with Ighalo though? I'm thinking of upgrading my 5th mid and benching Ighalo over his tough run. I can see it backfiring though...

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

              I doubt I would bench him. Will consider selling but not sure yet. I'll decide this week.

              If Kane blanks today he is probably out for Lukaku

              1. Puyol Pants Up
                • 11 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                So you wouldn't bench Ighalo but you would sell him?

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

                  Yes. I want to play 3 strikers. If he isn't worth a place in my 11 then going without Lukaku to bench him would seem crazy

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

        I'm on Kane this week. Lukaku is a good option next week. I'll throw it on him for now.

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Crazy.

      I'm playing Dawson and anything more then 2 points will be a surprise.

    4. Moss
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, Bournemouth could easily score with the form they're in

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

      Yes.

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

      OK that's overwhelming consensus against it.... Who are you all captaining?

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Mahrez Lukaku Kane Vardy options

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

          Was on Mahrez for a while this morning. However, Away at Goodison might be a little tough. I'll put it on Lukaku for now.

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Ozil has to be worth consideration considering the problems City have defensively in the 10 area.
        (no bias at all 😉 )

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

        Lu-ka-ku or Mahrezzzzzzzzzz

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

    Butland, Schmeichal
    Toby, Moreno, Kolarov, Ward, Francis
    KDB, Ozil, Hazard, Mahrez, Westwood
    Vardy, Kane, Lukaku

    2.1m, 2ft's

    Would really appreciate your views on what to do here.
    Maybe just 1 transfer this coming week and move for either Sancez/Aguero next?

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

      I'd avoid both Sanchez and Aguero for this week. Would be a tight game.

      Your team looks really good. I might be tempted to sell Vardy if he blanks though.

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

      Upgrade Francis to Zouma and play him next weekend. Hold the other for an upgrade next week.

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

    A neat 39 points from 5 players yesterday. Thank you Nyom, Butland, Bolasie and Lukaku. 🙂

    And up to 3.5k, highest rank I have ever achieved since my first season. Feels nice until I fall again today. 😀

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

      nice work! great OR

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

        Feels weird, because I am generally around the 50k - 60k or worse around this time in the season. 😀

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

      Mate, nice effort. Its good when the cheap guys come through

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

        Yes, don't remember the last time I have had like £5m in the bank for a straight 6-7 weeks. In hindsight, I could have just had Ozil, but still!

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

          I'm in a similar boat with cash in the bank at the moment. Haven't had the good fortune in a massive rise in rank however. You are doing very well.

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

            But I guess the Xmas fixtures would cause a great deal of shake-up. Set your team up well, a couple of differentials, and you'd be in for a big rise.

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

              Yep. A few diffs could be key. Already have Silva and would like Ramsey if I can manage it, after the City game though

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

      Well I'll be damned, that is top-notch, Saniul. Looks like you're the top regular now 😯

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

        Haha I am hardly the regular, but sure I have been loving this season so far. 🙂

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

      Nice stuff

    5. Costa in Wengerland
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Great !

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

    Considering the following option if all goes well in the remaining games

    Barkley -> Hazard(SUN)

    Thoughts?

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

      certainly a juicy fixture. as you say, depends on how the remaining games go.

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

        Will be watching the Leicester Chelsea game with keen interest. I think the tide of confidence will turn if Chelsea beat them

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

          yeah if Chelsea win by 2 goals, the tide will definitely change. The rot has to end sometime soon, surely. That's why I like the idea of Zouma too.

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

            I'm a big fan of Zouma and will be looking to bring him in but its a question of having the luxury to make a defensive change.

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

      I bought Hazard last week, but not sure how confident I am. Just monitor him this week. I'd personally hope he plays LW and not striker.

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

        Costa should return, its doing him no good leaving him on the bench

        1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Started him in Champs Lge and he apologised for the bid throwing. All is rosey in that garden again.

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

            Good to hear. Chelsea need him on side and firing

    3. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'm looking at getting Hazard out. Don't think he's shown enough form to warrant the investment, and doesn't have enough explosive potential with Chelsea's goalscoring form.

      Who are the rest of your midfielders?

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

        Ozil Silva Barkley Mahrez Lingard

    Williams --> Evans/McAuley ???

    Who is more nailed and less likely to be rotated ??

    Thanks !!!

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

      Evans is completely nailed. I'd bring him in

      1. The Handsome Hunk
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks Ryan, I am little bit worried of his injuries but his price is just unavoidable.. looking at the fixtures!

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

          Pulis loves him and he's been getting stints at LB and DM as well so Pulis wants him on the field no matter what. Just hope the injuries stay clear, McAuley is getting old so he'll be rested more imo

          1. The Handsome Hunk
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            yeah, lets see what happens in today's match.. hopefully he dont get injured.. williams just stinking in my team since GW1.

        The ref probably should have blown it, that last 15 seconds felt like 2 minutes 😐

        1. Zasa
          • 11 Years

          Yeah, ref gave the champ way too much leeway there. Any other match that would've been it.

    My macbook screen is flashing blue intermittenly

    Mainly when I press keys and move the laptop.

    Any tech wizzes know whats going on?

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

      Blue screen and then it turns itself off?

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Just sort of flashes Blue, but not complete blue covering the screen. Just certain rows of the screen or areas? Sort of?

        Its stopped now, after I closed a certain streaming tab so might've been that?

        1. Optimus.
          • 15 Years

          Does it pixelate? Might be a gpu issue.

            Nope, no pixelation!

            All good now though...hopefully, it stays this way.

    Wow De Bruyne as captain. Thought he would have a good game against the current worst team in the comp, at home where he normally dominates. But pellegrini as he does screwed things up.

    1. Optimus.
      • 15 Years

      In fairness some put up a link Friday night of Pelle talking of a KdB rest

        • 10 Years

        Ahh fair enough. Just annoyed at my last 2 captains of Hazard and De Bruyne. Who looked great on paper and were unique yet they did jack and I was punished for not going with the dull option of Lukaku.

    Benched Butland for Lloris. If Newcastle score I'm going to start breaking things.

    The rumoured team for tonight's game is:-
    Mignolet
    Clyne
    Skrtel
    Lovren
    Moreno
    Henderson
    Big Emre
    Milner
    Coutinho
    Lallana
    Benteke

    3. Kurtinho

      If true, would prefer Firmino in for Milner. We need as much creativity as possible in a match like this.

          This week Galloway, KDB and now Firmino not starting... Hopefully Vardy and Mahrez play, otherwise its all up to Giroud captain to save the weekend..

    I have to choose between Mignolet, Mertesacker, Toby, Wijnaldum and Benteke(not likely to start) in UFPL today. Probably going to have to go with Mertesacker 🙁

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

      Why not Toby?

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

        Because Villa are worse than Newcastle.

    2. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Newcastle on the road tho...all of Wij's goals have been at home. Who else actually scores for them?

      Toby a bigger goal threat too

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

    Vardy to Ighalo if he blanks tomorrow??

    Ighalo has difficult fixtures of course but at that price- hard to resist plus it allows for Aguero in.

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

      why not just do it now? you obviusly wantt to and it really doesnt make any difference to whether you should keep vardy or not if he scores tomorrow so you may as well just try catch some price rises...

  30. Kurtinho

    Starting defenders next GW:

    Zouma (SUN) - Dawson (BOU) - Moreno (wat)
    Bench: Toby (sou), Francis (wba)

    Any objections to this? Advice appreciated 🙂

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years

      Have a look at Southampton's goal record of late. Utterly toothless. I would play Toby ahead of Moreno.

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

        i woukld pplay tioby not ahead of moreno though ahead of dawson

        1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          That last spot is debatable but I think Moreno is flattered massively on this site. Any team playing a back four with Lovren and Moreno will concede goals regularly. For all the talk he has managed a single assist.

          I see Sakho is back soon which will improve his prospects.
