    Anyone know if Berty will start next game?

      Yes, I know.

      I'm starting Targett just incase he doesn't.

      1. Larry Legend
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I know at least 2 guys I my league who shipped out Targett this week after weeks of waiting... would be hilarious if he got a CS 😀

    Bearing in mind the next few fixtures, which team's defence would you shift out first to make way for a Chelsea defender?

    A. Arsenal
    B. WBA
    C. Stoke
    D. Liverpool
    E. Spurs

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      A

      C

      Ramsey

    4. Unsuccessful
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      B but that's a tough call

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah Ramsey against a patched up Pool or Mahrez who is more explosive and good away but against a usually solid defence. Hmm

    5. elkunaguero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      the one on penalties

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Vardy wasn't an option 😉

  5. Concrete
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Is Alli an option for a 4th midfielder now or is the general thinking that he's a 5th?

    1. George James
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yes. Great choice for 4th mid imo

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      He's an option but not a great one IMO

      He's no Payet

    3. Unsuccessful
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I've got him as a 4th mid for now to see how that works out.

    4. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Nice one. Cheers all

    5. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Wish he'd been my 4th mid - I've had him as 5th for ages and it's been mighty frustrating!

  6. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Pick 1 to start

    A Iggy
    B Lukaku

    1. George James
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Iggy. Gave w feeling city will win comfortably with a cleanie

    2. Unsuccessful
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      B on the basis that it's either 90 mins or nothing

    3. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      A

      Or both

    4. Champione
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      A

  7. GreenWindmill
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Right, crunch time.

    A: Bertrand -> Bennett (likely to leave me with a 4 man defence and a midfield benching headache)
    B. Ramsey -> bench fodder (brings me closer to the 'classic' FPL team structure)

    I really want the answer to be A as I'm desperate for Ramsey to be a success in my team but the answer is B isn't it...

    1. George James
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Give him one more week. A

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I'd really love to but buying a defender who's about to get dropped feels very wrong.

        1. Akeem
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Is Bennett about to be dropped?

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            Why would he be?

            1. GreenWindmill
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              Norwich have just signed a new right back who is expected to be straight into the team meaning Martin is likely to move to CB taking Bennett's place. It's not set in stone but it's the expected outcome. I'm no Norwich expert though, that's just what I've heard.

              1. Paul Psychic Octopus
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                Wonder if such a thing as a 'Norwich expert' exists? I did get given a Delia cookbook once though...

                1. GreenWindmill
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 14 Years

                  Ha, I like Alan Partridge - does that count?

              2. The Bandit
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                Ah, cheers 🙂

              3. Akeem
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                that sucks....thought he was nailed at CB having started the last 10...ah well, he's bench fodder anyway

    2. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      The advantage of B is that I'll finally play Alli. Bought him in GW13 and he's been my first sub every week since!

    3. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      B

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Go Oxford

        1. Concrete
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          The club or the player?

        2. GreenWindmill
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          That's not more appealing than Bennett, Oxford is even less likely to get any minutes.

  8. George James
    • 10 Years

    Shane long..... Differential?

    1. The Bandit

      He sure is

      1. George James
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        A good one? Or am I overthinking to get ahead

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Terrible imho.. Up against one of the best defs this week, WBA then away to Man U and Arsenal. Plus Soton are crap atm and Peller will be back. Oh, and there are so many better options

          1. RubeRx
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  10. Champione

    play Mahrez or Lukaku?

  11. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Lloris --- henessey
    Souare (avl) Darmian (new) Moreno (ARS) ---- simpson (tot) dawson (che)
    ozil mahrez alli mane --- ramsey
    kaku kun kane

    - not a good def this gw
    - benching headache..currently on ramsey as i dont want to start 2 ars mids vs pool away
    - if kaku is out then ramsey will come on

    A: darmian/dawson/moreno >> williams
    B: mane >> payet / ayew
    C: save FT

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Would bench Mane actually
      Darmian --> Williams

  12. Erlanger
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Vardy KDB Barkley to Aguero Yaya and Willian?

  13. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Here we go!

  14. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    This is for next gameweek

    I think I need to get Alli , with 1.6 in the bank I could easily upgrade my 5th mid but leaves me bench issues or could just sell for Walcott

    attack is

    Payet , Ozil , Mahrez , Walcott , gosling

    Kane , Aguero , lukaku

    A - gosling to Alli
    B - Walcott to Alli

    1. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Depends how strong minded you are with your benching decisions. I've had Alli first sub for the last 8 weeks because I was too much of a coward to bench any of my other midfielders, if you're like me then he's wasted as a 5th mid but if you actually have some balls then upgrading Gosling looks nice.

    2. Unsuccessful
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      A esp if Lukaku ends up missing the GW

    3. Somnus84
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Alli as a 5th mid is very frustrating, and given your other mids/forwards, will you ever really play him? I would trade for Walcott if you really want him in, and then strengthen the starting 11 (or rotation pairs at the back)

    4. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Thanks , it's a tricky one
      Slightly clouded by the fact I know I'm going to want Sanchez in a few weeks

  15. dush64
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Kane to Kun for -4, yay or nay?

    1. Champione
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      not for a hit imo

    2. Optimus.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I can do it for free but I'm scared

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Don't be scared.

    3. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Nay, only for free.

  16. Somnus84
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Transfer Options:

    A) Barkley & Lukaku out for Alli and Costa
    B) Barkley & Bellerin out for Payet & Azpi
    C) Barkley & Fuchs out for Payet & Wollschield/Daniels
    D) Barkley & Moreno out for Payet & Cathcart/Wollschield/Daniels

    I'm leaning towards D on the Daniels option (based on Bournemouth fixtures, and Liverpool being hopeless at the back), but I do also really like the look of Chelsea defenders now

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I like D with Wolly.

      1. Somnus84
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I agree in general, but I have Butland already, and their fixtures are not strong enough over the next 6 to double up. Given I might wildcard in the next month, I'm basing it on the next 4-6 fixtures instead of longer term

    2. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Just do Barkley to Alli.
      Costa is out of next gw
      Payet is not ready to start bringing in points
      Bellerin is good long term
      Moreno has high possibility of a double gw coming up soon

      Maybe fuchs to someone. Ben Davies could be a good move, but worth waiting on

      1. Somnus84
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks - I hadn't thought of 1 transfer, just because I really want Payet and I need to make 2 to get him. I could do Alli this week and postpone the double transfer to next week...

  17. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Just went Wally and Vardy to Ali and Kun for free. Good, bad, what was I thinking?

    1. yemzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is just me being old and grumpy but FA cup coverage , especially BBC winds me up

    Shock , giant killers , underdog ,46 places between them in the league or whatever

    Even the tone of the commentators when one of the lower division players does a successful pass or has a shot , like its the first time the player has seen a football

    1. Concrete

    2. Unsuccessful

      Desperate to hang on to the romantic side of things. That would even apply is Middlesborough drew Villa

  20. Ninjaa
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    2 freebs. I can do Toby and Igalho > k.walker and Kane. Gives me a front 3 of Aguero Lukaku Kane. Views on this move, should I go for it?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No way IMO. Toby to Walker is just useless and Ighalo is still rolling at the moment.

    Evening guys, Out of the loop a little.

    Any decent sources / substance to these Silva injured rumours?

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah that Ben Dinnery lad on Twitter tweeted that Pellegrini said 'We hope to have Silva, Yaya and Fernandinho back for Wednesday'. 🙁

      1. Jazz!

      ESPN saying they should be back but Eurosport UK is suggesting that Pellegrini is hopeful that they will be back.

    4. InBetweenDreams

      Did he actually specify what the injuries were? Seems strange that nothing was picked up after their last game.

      Thanks all. A little annoying.

      I might play Barkley now. Also playing Lukaku.

  23. Igic97

    Kane to Aguero for a hit?
    Already have kdb and Alli

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Not for a hit IMO.

    2. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Tough call, but if it is for the long term then yes.

  24. tm245

    Evening. Which two of these four would you choose?

    Oscar Payet Siggy Alli

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      First two

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers, am leaning there as well.

    2. InBetweenDreams
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      For this GW or long term?

      This week: Siggy and Alli

      Long term: Payet and Siggy

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Good call.

    Swansea were terrible defensively

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Williams just became even better

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I mean today with their second string xi. Made Oxford look brilliant

        1. Rhinos
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          hence the players not playing look better

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            True. Maybe Williams could have kept them quiet

    2. InBetweenDreams
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      They changed their whole first XI today didn't they?

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        10 of them

        1. InBetweenDreams
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          thanks

  26. DV8R

    For a -4

    Silva + Vardy -> Alli + Aguero

    Do it??

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Could work. Unsure cos of the hit

  27. Jedi_Reed
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Bench one.

    A) Alli
    B) Payet
    C) Lukaku

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      A

    3. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      B

      1. Jedi_Reed
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks guys.

        Toss up between Payet and Alli. I just have a suspicion that after a couple of substitute appearances, Payet could start and would be good for a differential.

  28. InBetweenDreams
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    My defence is awful. Already used my FT.

    I need to play 1 out of:

    A) Richards
    B) Janmaat
    C) Moreno

    Thoughts?

    1. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      C

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Richards, Janmaat 1st sub

      1. InBetweenDreams
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Playing Ward so reluctant to go this route, can't see palace not scoring. Real toughie. Thanks.

    3. Unsuccessful
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      No right answer. Moreno at least gets forward and has a crack at goal.

      1. Larry Legend
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        +1

    4. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      B

      1. InBetweenDreams
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        thanks all

    I guess after a brace v Swansea Roofe doesn't get much higher

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      The Kasam is lucky to have a Roofe it doesn't even have 4 sides

      1. Unsuccessful
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Amusing folk shout "mind my car" every time Gomis gets through on goal

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      This deserves slating
