Foresight – that precious gift that that can bless any Fantasy Football manager. We need it now more than ever.

As Jonty, Andy and myself struggle with the countless permutations offered up by the looming double Gameweeks, we can only hope that our mutterings and musings come laced with just a little dash of foresight.

Steered by an array of community questions targeting the possibilities of the fixture pile-up to come, the three of us discuss the best-laid plans in attempt to jolt our squads out of the current rut.

Around the early double Gameweek discussion, we chew over the optimum blank-dodging strategies as Sigurdsson, Spurs and Stoke top the menu of options. Then, inevitably, we turn attentions to the immediate job at hand, as we preview the weekend and pinpoint potential clean sheets and “Fantasy Island Risks”.

  5. Spike ⚽️
    • 14 Years

    The best scenario would be Man U to go through and draw Valencia in last 16

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

      Man U will lose.

      1. Spike ⚽️
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It would be a great draw though

  6. Puyol Pants Up

    Repost.

    What would you guys do with this? 🙂

    Lloris

    1. Spike ⚽️
      • 14 Years

      Leave it as it is

    2. Vedas
      • 10 Years

      Save

  7. SAINTS
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Safe to bring in Vardy and VVD now?

    1. SAINTS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I want Austin and Moreno out.

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yup.

    3. Dempsey
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yeah

    4. Elijah's Wood
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Why not wait until after Chelsea to bring in VVD?

  8. Captain Hindsight

    *Hindsight – that precious gift that that can bless any Fantasy Football manager. We need it now more than ever.

    1. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      an utterly terrible captain foresight would be a nice side project?

      1. Optimus.
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        PuntMaster from seasons gone by would be competition for Captain Hindsight

        1. Optimus.
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          He did have foresight 🙂

  9. Sepp Blattered
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Arsenal replay won't be on the 8th they said, it's a CL week they said.

    Sorry can't help myself, I'll sign out now 🙂

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Can't play PL matches but they can play Cup matches

      1. Sepp Blattered
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        They can play league matches too. But this is the point I was making.

    2. Spike ⚽️
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      7pm kick off agreed

  10. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If Conte is really signing for Chelsea I think he'll flop, Also Chelsea should be moving away from the defensive football they play because their whole Defence needs rebuilding anyway.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Won 3 Serie A's recently, and Chelsea's attack looks decent to me

      1. Studgie G
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Don't think his tactics suit the EPL, slower paced leagues he's fine

  11. thunder_mike
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Great play from Toby!

  12. fickle
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Romero has the hair of an 80's film star

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Toby looks like an 80's film star; Van Damme head on him!

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Haha uncanny!

  13. SPFC
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What do you think best?

    A- Evans OUT, Morgan IN and start with Cresswell
    B- Cresswell OUT Fuchs IN and start with Bellerin

    1. Spike ⚽️
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I prefer B. I think Defoe will score against his old mentors

    2. Elijah's Wood
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Depends if you can still field 11-12 this week and GW30

      B looks the better option

      1. SPFC
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Can in any case. The point is to have funds for Vardy. Cheers!

        1. Elijah's Wood
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Provided you can afford to bench an injured Evans then B is better. Dont think Morgan is that great of an fpl option compared to Fuchs

  14. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    LVG has 30 minutes to save his job

    1. Dempsey
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      thought that 2 months ago to be honest

  15. Elijah's Wood
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Please pick one to transfer out for Winner (-4) [if one doesnt play then im down to 10 men]

    A) Dawson (CRY)

    B) CBJ (ARS) possibly injured/dropped

    C) Moreno (blank)

    1. Elijah's Wood
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wimmer*

    2. Dempsey
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Moreno for me

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Its between him and CBJ, thinking maybe CBJ because at least i can play Moreno which would still result in 0 points lol

    3. Vedas
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

      1. Elijah's Wood

        Thanks Vedas

        1. Vedas
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          🙂
          You should take out Moreno too, as soon as you can.

          1. Elijah's Wood
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Yeh he will be next week for VVD

            Though having him for 15 weeks now, feel like i need to see it out until the end :p

    4. GS456
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Do B, who you bringing in?

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Wimmer purely from lack of spurs all season and will wildcard in 33. VVD comes in next week after Chelsea

  16. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lamela would be class if he avoided the over elaboration.

      Timing

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I make the mistake of watching Europa matches and transferring in guys who score well in it eg Eriksen broke my heart 2 years ago.

  17. Ronnies

  18. UnitedFan
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who to get in for Aguero?

    A) Costa
    B) Kane

    I will bring Aguero back but not neccessarily for any of those two.

    1. Elijah's Wood
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kane this week, though Costa is hitting form and would want for after Soton

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't like the either of those moves.

  19. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Get in there Spurs...

    1. Spike ⚽️

  20. the axolotl
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    how old is too old to change football allegiance, when you are not from either of the 2 places in question?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Better ask Man U or Chelsea fans.

    2. Spike ⚽️
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Great assist from Ali again

      1. Sjaugen
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Was it? Looked more like a failed clearance

        1. Spike ⚽️
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          The ball hit his leg and deflected to Lamela

          1. Sjaugen
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Alright. Nice 🙂

    3. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      Goal united

      1. Spike ⚽️
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Extra time looming

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          United will win in normal time

          1. Spike ⚽️
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Great and hopefully draw Valencia in last 16

            1. Syd.
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              That would be fun

    4. George Sillett

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dear Mr Woodward,
      And now the end is near and so I face the final curtain. My friend I'll say it clear , I'll state my case of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full , I've travelled each and every highway and more much more than this I did it my way. Regrets I've had a few but then again too few to mention.
      Yours arrogantly,

      LVG

      Shall I get rid of BWJ for a -4? Only have 0.3ITB best replacement would be Olsson. Or could do Simpson > Morgan.

      Or play with 10! Would only be 2 pts better off
