    Guys... so plan is WC in 33 bench boost in 34...

    But some are doing in 32... to avoid price rise... but what about injuries and all?

    What to do? What to do?

    1. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Right time to WC in 32 was on Saturday evening. Most of the price changes have already occurred.

      Best to WC in 33 now.

    2. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Price changes always die down in the International week.

      For me, if you are not worried about price changes, 32 is still good to WC but wait until after the international games and the press conferences for 33. Have the plan ready to go.

      You could always wildcard now and then just make free wildcard changes if any injuries happen during the internationals?

    best 1 gw defender r gk punt?

    1. Team Zissou
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      I'm going Ivanovic

    2. The Blackadder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Anyone v Villa really.

  4. The Blackadder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    In a bit of strife for next gameweek, don't think I can go without Mahrez so it would mean taking a hit to get him but would need to drop (and sell) one of these...
    Payet (H) Firminho (H) Özil (H) Arnoutovic (H) Alli (A)
    Vardy (H) Aguero (A) Kane (A)

    I'll be getting rid of Mahrez with a gw33 WC, so is it worth the hit for a one week punt or just hold tight and hope for the best? Only 8pts clear of 3rd in s big cash ML?

    1. The Blackadder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      3rd place and leader have Mahrez and will probably captain I would think.

    2. Jøssy ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      You can't take a hit for a one week punt, unless it's at home to Villa. If you've gone without Mahrez to this point, you're gonna have to hold your nerve for next week I reckon

      1. The Blackadder
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Yeah, that's what I thought, looks like I'll have to put £20 on Mahrez anytime scorer to ease any pain coming my way!

    3. Jøssy ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Being a bit flippant about Villa, but I probably wouldn't even do it then

    4. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      if you have not mahrez in and are after a one week punt why do it against maverick SOT-a clever manger might be the team to cause LEI problems?
      let it go
      if you have to cash in on vardy who is not performing in fantasy terms?

  5. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Best route here? WCing in GW36

    A)
    GW32: Eriksen -> Ozil
    GW33: Wolly -> Sakho
    GW34: Arnie & Vardy -> Payet/Firmino & Rashford/Iggy

    B)
    GW32: Eriksen -> Payet
    GW33: Arnie -> Firmino
    GW34: Kompany* & Vardy -> Smalling/Kos & Welbeck/Martial

    * if Kompany is fit for GW34, then Wolly & Vardy -> Rojo & Welbeck/Martial

    Elliot, Hennessey
    Bellerin, Kompany, Wolly, JEvans, Simpson
    Sanchez, Eriksen, Mahrez, Arnie, Alli
    Aguero, Kane, Vardy

    Bank 1.3m, 2FT

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      * GW34 in B could also be Kompany & Vardy -> Rojo & Lukaku

    2. The Blackadder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Personally, I'd prefer B. Not many waiting til 36, good luck.

    3. athreya
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      B with Rojo/Wellbeck. I think a double up on united defence might be worth it despite what the article above says. If you can get DDG and Rojo.

  6. Red devil 56
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    So many going for rojo I think darmian is more nailed.
    Even if valencia or varela start at rb he gets switched to lb. With the performance difference in the derby between him and rojo, darmian is definitely nailed on.

    1. athreya
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      I am interested in this. I guess the spurs away match should tell us about the preferred line up since that will be united's most difficult match remaining.

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Not entirely true. Rojo is still only slowly returning from injury and has been forced to play a lot since his return. He needs to be subbed more than normal because of that. Valencia could easily start instead of Darmian now that he's back.

  7. athreya
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    I have a wildacard and triple C available. I am thinking of WC in GW34 and TC in GW37. I want to wait till 34 for WC since I want to be sure of line up issues (Arsenal, united, Pool). Also I am planning united defence double up in gw 34 and their next two fixtures are meh.

    Does this sound ok or is there a big risk of getting burnt without TC in gw34? In 37 I think Payet and Lukaku are good options for TC.

  8. KOLASINA(C)
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Play:
    A) Wollscheid
    B) Williams

    Do a transfer
    X) Siggy -> Oscar
    Y) Alli -> Traore

    1. athreya
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      A. Neither of X or Y. Even for a one week punt.

      1. KOLASINA(C)
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Thanks 🙂 not sure what to do with this FT

        1. 32chickens
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          A
          if it is your only FT save it?
          keep alli but siggy will need to go give the poor SWA form-lanzini any good?

          1. KOLASINA(C)
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            Have 2FT one is VVD->Ivanovic punt. I would rather have someone in attack against Villa, they are hopeless.

            1. 32chickens
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 20 days ago

              ok turning this on its head you would ideally like fab instead of siggy but i guess he will cost you too much

              okay now i understand your picture and focus on villa
              either
              -save the second FT
              -punt on traore for siggy (remy had a very poor game)-it'll only be a one week punt as costa will be back.
              -get fab in through vvd to daniels(villa week after) and siggy to fab this week?

    Madness to Go AgueroLESS after WC in GW 33??

    Because its not possible to get a team that everyone is talking without getting rid of Aguero.

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      kun is a big beast currently not performing
      i would not be without him-with hart injured he is my citeh player
      he does cost a lot but i have saved up for this
      if you have low value overall having him will cause too many problems for your squad so i'd ditch

    2. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Yes. You cant play this game without aguero mate 🙂

  10. ScottieDog
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Kapow...FA cup reply WH Utd v Man Utd 13/4 right between GW 33 and GW 34...just when you think you have the team selection, in your head, ready...in comes the curve ball. The early dgw wc bunch at least are positioned to respond to FA cup resulting injuries. Don't you just love it.

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      WHU and payet wont change
      and i never pick rags players being a citeh fan -so for a change not worried about this issue at all

      1. ScottieDog
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        '...won't change' ?...injuries force changes, there is no immunity. Super hero crime fighter 'kapow' was just for effect. As for no MU...its a choice but may also be your achilles heel in the long run. Loyalty and myopia often go hand in hand. I wish you well in CL.

  11. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Best 4 ball for the DGW?

    A) Gabriel, Payet, Firmino & Lukaku
    B) Rojo, Payet/Firmino, Coutinho & Lukaku
    C) Sakho, Ozil, Payet/Firmino & Martial
    D) Smalling, Ozil, Payet/Firmino & Rashford

    1. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      A or D

    2. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      B with firmino

      1. Jebiga
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        I mean firmino and payet with B option

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          0.2m short of that 🙁

  12. CB07
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    If I wildcard, can I only play my triple captain chip the following week?

    1. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Yrs. Its not allowed to use wc and tripple captain same gw

    2. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      you can play your TC any week just not with another chip

  13. :
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Lots of people thinking of keeping Mahrez in their upcoming WC, Fair enough, he's the top scorer in the FPL after all, but just take a look at difference in his returns both before and after Christmas, that's around the time he starting missing then lost his penalty kick duties. Talk about a game of two halves!

    There's much better DGW options out there folks. Be bold.

    1. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Agree with you, i will dump him 100%

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Bought him for 5.6 in gw2 and sold him in gw23 and bought him back in gw27 for 7.1.

        If would still have him for 5.6 would most likely to keep him but probaly not now cos I have no value tied with him

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          He will most likely do well but keeping him messes my other plans

    2. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      okay brig accepted
      but for me he is my dont bench dont dump season option
      loving it

    3. andyd
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Silly talk

    4. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Like who? For around $6.5 M (my selling price) and who does not blank the following week?

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Winjaldum

        1. Fowler23
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          Mahrez - West Ham (h) Swansea (h)
          Wijnaldum - Swansea (h) Man city (h) Pool (a)

          You think Mahrez won't outscore him?

          1. Fowler23
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            And GW 33 Mahrez has Sunderland, Wijnaldum has Saints away

    5. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      DGWs are an opportunity to be bold. There are often hidden gems late in the season that get ignored because we cling too tightly to those that served us well in the past

      1. 32chickens
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        accepted there are 'fits and starts' like arnie for instance.
        yes a cheap players in form could emerge as diffs

  14. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Which is better. Pick one form each pls

    A) Bellerin and Rojo
    B) Gabriel and Smalling

    C) Sanchez and Rashford
    D) Martial and Coutinho
    I have Ozil and Firmimo

    1. Jebiga
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      A and C

  15. Jebiga
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    What do you think will kompany be fit for dgw 34 ? I still have him 🙂
    When we can hear some news about his fitness ?

    1. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Get rid. More chance of Man U and Arsenal defender keeping a cs

    2. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      I'm a citeh fan
      i'm sorry but i'd leave him alone as a fantasy prospect-too unreliable in fitness terms sadly

      1. ScottieDog
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Whole heartedly agree.

  16. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Does anyone know when we'll get information on the last Everton game to be rescheduled?

  17. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Good Morning All,

    Any ideas on this lot? 2FTs, 2.5 itb

    Schmeicel Butland
    Toby VVD Williams Bellerin Saylor
    Mahrez Alli Payet Arnie Siggy
    Kane Vardy Aguero

    Thinking Williams + Siggy > Ozil + Reid/Ogbonna ?

  18. Mr Pink
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    So, with the replay against West Ham three days before, and another game four days later, how much rotation will there be for United's first GW34 game against Villa? Me thinks a lot...

    1. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Opportunity for young and fit legs, mr rashford?

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        I thought younger players tend to be rested more. By young, I mean U20.

    2. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Well it is like champions league.. But with all their injuries not a lot.. And they are fighting for 4th place.

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Some players might have to play all 3 out of necessity. It's worth finding out who these players are

      1. Mr Pink
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Let me know when you've found out, will you? 😉

        I'm just worried that Villa at Old Trafford would be the game to risk resting a few key players.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          Depends on the injury status of others. Worth keeping an eye on

  19. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    What do people think about Flanagan as an option?

    Given he's not in the Europa squad, you'd think he'd get at least 1, possibly 2 games in the DGW. Only 4.4m also.

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      You never know though.. It a risk worth staying away from IMO.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Yeah, Sakho/Lovren iare probably worth the extra 0.3-0.4m, assuming they stay first choice with Skrtel back

        1. Mr Pink
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          I'd say Sakho as it stands now, but things may change in a couple of weeks.

    2. Jape
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      I've already brought him in. Thought it might be worth it

      Liverpool's only nailed spot is Clyne/Mignolet.

      Sakho/Lovren/Skrtel will be rotated for sure

  20. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    how do we see the Liverpool vs Spurs game going this weekend?

    Predictions?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      3-1 Spurs

    2. Jape
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Either 2-2 or 2-1 Spurs

    3. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      so, consensus is that there's goals...

      1. Jape
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Can't see it being 0-0

    4. TheEgyptianKing
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      I want to say Liverpool will win but i think it will be 1-1

  21. Jape
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Can someone edit the YC table on the side. I nearly made a transfer without checking somewhere else first.

    Otamendi is on 6 Yellow Cards and not 8.

    1. Jape
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      And Emre Can is on 7 not 9

    2. Demí
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Why edit it? It's correct. The other place you checked is wrong

      1. Squiggle
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        He received 2 in the League Cup to go with the 6 in the Premier League.

        1. Demí
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 20 days ago

          Yeah that's right. Domestic yellow cards count towards suspension

          1. Jape
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 20 days ago

            I completely forgot about that. I stand corrected.

  22. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Dumping Kane, Mahrez, Vardy is easy for me since I don't have any value tied in them.

    However Toby and Alli are the difficult ones as I bought them towards the start and will lose arnd 1.4 m.

    1. Barry Woj
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      The tied up value surely only matters if you plan on getting the players back in though? If you're making the decision to ditch them for the dgw, then you may as well commit to not having them.

  23. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    ok, big budgie surgery time.

    Hart McCarthy

    Fuchs Ivanovic Wolly Nyom Francis

    Siggy Mahrez Ozil Eriksen Alli

    Aguero Kane Vardy

    1FT

    A) Save (playing no goalkeeper)
    B) boring goalkeeper transfer for one week punt (Courtois probably)
    C) Wildcard now!
    D) Attacking punt, used FT, still no goalkeeper

        Not a fan of WC now with potential injury issues. You don't have a weak player going forward so makes more sense to play 11

      Boring keeper transfer Courtois or Ospina.

      Assume you're wildcarding in 33?

    3. bigbudgie

      Actually there's no point saving because I am wildcarding in 33 so discount A!

      B, Courtois great shout.

      1. davies
        • 11 Years

        Is he?

        Villa could nick a goal & guaranteed no save points.

          What do you suggest then?

    If you are briging in a Lpool defedner (for your GW33 WC), Bring in clyne or sakho and avoid the rest

    PvA or Azpi for a 1 week punt before WC?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      PvA certainly has a lot more upside but Azpi's CS is virtually guaranteed...

    2. TheEgyptianKing

      Im probs doing azpi, but PVA at home against basically playing like a LW not a LB 😛 against a bad WBA side is tempting

    who are the early TC contenders for ge37? If Lukaku doesn't have this TGW

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Payet.

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Or Lanzini.

    What a mistake it was 7 gws ago to sell Mahrez and Özil. I could have had them for 5.6 and 8.6 instead of 7.1 and 9.7.

  28. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 20 days ago

    Can't afford to keep Kane if I want atleast 14 decent dgw players. Looks like I'll end up with either Welbeck or Martial.

    Which one is safer option for gws 33-34?

    1. TheEgyptianKing
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      martial is safer, welbeck has more chance of getting points

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        and has chance of starting in gw35 🙂

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Martial

  29. TheEgyptianKing
    • 10 Years

    Which players have you had since the first GW? I have had Butland and Mahrez since GW1 never took them out ---> Going to be hard to let them goooo

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Mahrez. And that's all.

      1. TheEgyptianKing
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Is right 😛

      2. Mitchacho

        What this guy said.

    2. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      No one I think. I had Vardy from the get go but dumped him when his form dipped. I may have had Dawson from the start.

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      None. GW1 team was a disaster.

  30. TheEgyptianKing
    • 10 Years

    The goalies for the dgw are tricky, i really want DDG but then there are so many other options

    Is DDG --- Elliott the best or whats better 🙂

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      Who of these 3 would you prefer? (Next gameweek only!)

      A) Alli (liv)
      B) Lanzini (CRY)
      C) Coutinho (TOT)

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 20 days ago

        Oh my God. Post fail aargh

    2. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 20 days ago

      The ideal would be Cech and possibly with Elliot. When is Cechmate back?
