    with everyone talking about costa's record against Swansea isn't he a very decent shout for this weeks captain?? i like him over Sanchez

    hazard is a issue though

    1. makaveli123
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez and Hazard for me.

  2. ANDER.
    10 years, 2 months ago

    How good is Diomande as a 3rd striker?

    1. TheEgyptianKing
      10 years, 2 months ago

      perfect for a 352 spare stirker, plays and is cheap

    2. ANDER.
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Is he nailed on?

      1. TheEgyptianKing
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Right now he is, unless Mbokani plays over him

    3. Dre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Hull now have Keane and Mbokani as competition, so I'd say he's a rotation risk

    4. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Risky

    5. ANDER.
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers guys! I have 1.0 ITB. Tell me a good one less than 5.5.

      They also have Hendriksen

      1. ANDER.
        10 years, 2 months ago

        A good one under 5.5?

        1. Jericho101
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Stuani

  3. TheEgyptianKing

    I hope Gray doesent get banned as ive done my team not to use wildcard and if h is banned it may push me over the edge

    1. Dre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I hope Gray does get banned because what he tweeted was disgusting

      1. Patty
        10 years, 2 months ago

        A lot changes in 4 years.

        1. Dre
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 2 months ago

          The comments were still there available to read in his social media. I think a retrospective ban is justifiable.

      2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        10 years, 2 months ago

        It was 4 years ago. Ridiculous to ban him now.

        1. Patty
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Agree completely

        2. Clump
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Similar reasoning would set free Rolf Harris 🙁

          1. Patty
            10 years, 2 months ago

            You shouldn't compare legal proceedings and a fa ban

            1. Clump
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Gray is extremely lucky legal proceedings have not been brought against him.
              It fell into the category of a hate crime 4 years ago, and still does to this day.

            2. Dre
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              10 years, 2 months ago

              When he tweeted those comments he was 21 years old, an adult.

              While it might be that he's only getting an FA charge because his profile has increased, what kind of a message does it send letting him off with a warning? And Clump has a fair point, why should it be acceptable because he said it "when he was a different person"?

              1. FCSB
                10 years, 2 months ago

                this.

              2. @persecuted_by_mods
                10 years, 2 months ago

                Exactly, he was old enough. Didn't even bother to remove the tweets or make a new account. Things can change in 4 years, but they usually don't.

          2. FCSB
            10 years, 2 months ago

            great point!

  4. Concrete
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Took a minus 8 for this

    Foster Jak
    Shaw Stones Amat Friend Evans
    Hazard Sanchez Barkley Ramirez Capoue
    Costa Ibra Gray

    Take the -8 or WildCard?

    1. ANDER.
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Good if Gray doesn't get the ban.

    2. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      WC and get rid of Gray, Ramirez and Stones.

      1. Sanchit
        10 years, 2 months ago

        This

    3. Concrete
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers!!

  5. Jayben23
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Costa / negredo / lukaku /defoe ???

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      10 years, 2 months ago

      costa

    2. TheEgyptianKing
      10 years, 2 months ago

      1
      3
      4
      2

    3. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      10 years, 2 months ago

      3-1-4-2

    4. Sanchit
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku

  6. makaveli123
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I knew managers made good money, but I just read that Guardiola makes a whopping £290'000 / week. That should be enough to put food on the table.

    1. TheEgyptianKing
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Dont think it will be just food, it will be a whole Buffet

    2. Flynniesta
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Certainly gives him a few more tapas options

    3. FCSB
      10 years, 2 months ago

      food and cocaine

  7. JackG55
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Redmond to Antonio for 0.9mill worth it?
    Rondon, Benteke or Bony?

    1. Sanchit
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Benteke

  8. Jayben23
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Ozil / sterling / nolito / cazorla

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      10 years, 2 months ago

      1-3-2-4

    2. Sanchit
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling

  9. Joga Bonito®
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Anybody keen for a gamble on Ihaenacho whilst Kun is out?

    His goals per minute ratio is unreal.

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Don't expect him to get any points at OT

    2. Clump
      10 years, 2 months ago

      It is indeed. It's whether Pep plays Nolito in a false 9 that worries me.
      He looks a cracking shout if he starts though.

    3. TheEgyptianKing
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Really really considered it

    4. M.A.G
      10 years, 2 months ago

      His goal/min ratio is insane
      the only problem is his game time
      Pep loves to play False 9

    5. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I might GW5.

  10. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    I'm thinking to take Aguero out and Lukaku/Costa in. However, another option is to also take Redmond out and Sanchez in. Since I only have 1 FT, the second option will cost me 4 points. So the second option is only profitable if Sanchez gets 5 points more than Redmond.

    So which one would you do?

    A. Aguero --> Costa/Lukaku
    B. Aguero + Redmond --> Lukaku + Sanchez (-4)

  11. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Is this attack a bit light? Waiting for Kun to be back.

    Hazard Sanchez Barkley Antonio (Capoue)
    Ibra Benteke Defoe

    1. makaveli123
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good.

    2. TheEgyptianKing
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I think everyone attack looks lightweight without aguero

    3. Clump
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Nowt wrong with that.

    4. Phil Dagger ⭐
      10 years, 2 months ago

      not light in size as well as points for sure

    5. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers guys

  12. Patty
    10 years, 2 months ago

    So the outcome of a formal hearing is that Gray is playing this weekend?

  13. Phil Dagger ⭐
    10 years, 2 months ago

    apart from agueros 50 points haul vs Newcastle what is the highest score ppl hv got in 1 gw from 1 player?

    1. makaveli123
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Berbatov 50 pts (c)

    2. TheEgyptianKing
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Defoe and berbatov both scored 5 in a match (2009,2011)

    3. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      TC Sanchez in the DGW

    4. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero TC 25 x 3 = 75

      GW34.

      1. McQueen
        10 years, 2 months ago

        3 points more, I believe he got 26 in GW 34 and Sanchez 25.

        Good times.

    5. Kenzoblu
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Walcott 26 x 2 = 52 vs newcastle (before the TC chip was available)

      1. zøphar
        10 years, 2 months ago

        This. I miss newcastle. biggest hauls have been against them.

      2. AA33
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah Walcott 26 points!

  14. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Hi Everyone, can I get your thoughts on this please:

    Remove one
    A) Stones
    B) Morgan

    Replace with
    1) Baines
    2) Williams

    1. Patty
      10 years, 2 months ago

      B1

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Morgan to baines

  15. BB-8
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Want to fit Bainsey in. Pick one of these-

    A. Heaton Baines leko(non playing 4.4 mid)
    B. Mandanda Baines Rodwell
    C. Foster Williams Capoue (no Baines)

    1. Patty
      10 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Dre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Not worried about a fit again Hennessy for B?

      C looks the better option

    3. zøphar
      10 years, 2 months ago

      both A and B have risks, 4.4 mid in A and Mandanda in B

      I'd go for C. Capoue an excellent 5th mid

  16. Whazza

    Re the Gray case

    "No date has yet been set for that hearing, with the FA last night saying one will be arranged ‘in due course’.
    But their own guidelines say that all case papers for personal hearings ‘must be distributed to the participant and the commission members at least three days prior to the hearing’.

    That would rule out the possibility of a hearing taking place before the weekend, and the visit of the Tigers to Turf Moor."

  17. Liastro ⭐️
    10 years, 2 months ago

    2FTs, 0.0m in the bank... Would you wildcard this lot?

    Foster Jaku
    Shaw Stones Friend Mee Amat
    Hazard Firmino Alli Ramirez Capoue
    Aguero Ibra Gray

    1. King H
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Keep your WC. Thank me later.

      Aguero Alli Ramirez ..Out
      Costa Sanchez Snodgrass In

    2. makaveli123

  18. King H
    10 years, 2 months ago

      1. King H
        10 years, 2 months ago

    2. FCSB
      10 years, 2 months ago

  19. Phil Dagger ⭐
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Gen. question -- how much time ppl spend on ffs daily?

    1. King H
      10 years, 2 months ago

      On the train for 15mins on way to work.
      15 mins on ma lunch break.

      Wee half hour at night. Not every night.

    2. Patty
      10 years, 2 months ago

      10 minutes

    3. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        10 years, 2 months ago

          1. Chucky
            10 years, 2 months ago

            I meant is he nailed on? thanks

            1. FCSB
              10 years, 2 months ago

              sorry just trying to be funny... he'll play yeah

  23. joersherman
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Mane & Williams vs. Firmino & Baines?

    1. Bullet Eder
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I think B will score more long term.

    2. Clump
      10 years, 2 months ago

      The former for me. Mr explosive & Mr Bonus magnet.

    3. Chucky

  24. Still Unsure
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Would you play Kone (EVE) or McAuley (bou) this weekend?

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Mcauley

  25. Phil Dagger ⭐
    10 years, 2 months ago

    walker looked great vs Slovakia .... think he Valencia and baines can be a great defense pairing this season.....

    1. The Gohan
      10 years, 2 months ago

      That will be a costly defence, go for Williams -> Baines, you might save yourself a few bucks.

      1. Phil Dagger ⭐
        10 years, 2 months ago

        I know but its looks very good imo

  26. MORIS FC
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on Lamela? Do you guys think he still is nailed on with the arrival of Sissoko? Could he be rested at the weekend, because he gets back late from international duties?

    1. FCSB
      10 years, 2 months ago

      i think he could be rested, especially with the CL game next week too.... i 90% sure im gonna transfer him out for antonio

  27. David Luiz is Back
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Morning all!

    What do you guys think of my wildcard draft?

    Jaku-Pickford -

    Kingsley - Pieters - Valencia - Williams - Galloway

    Haz- Ozil - Snoddy - Capoue - Mane

    Ibra- Kane- Tekkers

    What do you guys think? & what should I do differently ? Thanks in advance

    1. Tiamani Warrior
      10 years, 2 months ago

      don't put pieters in until Saturday morning if you want him may drop to 4.4 by then. coleman played today for ireland so galloway most likely goneskie. ditto for kingsley with naylor playing today for wales

      1. The Gohan
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Is pieters nailed?
        And what about collins?

        1. McQueen
          10 years, 2 months ago

          I believe both of them are. Collins until he makes a mistake 😉

      2. McQueen
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Galloway doesn't play for Everton anymore, you meant Holgate is goneskie now that Coleman is back?

        1. Tiamani Warrior
          10 years, 2 months ago

          oh sorry yeah my bad galloway at Brom. evans probably more nailed at that price for brom

  28. rossiy95
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Wilshere or Redmond?

    1. McQueen
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Redmond.

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Adnan.

      1. Tiamani Warrior
        10 years, 2 months ago

        think adnan can outscore redmond?

    3. rossiy95
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks Guys, adnan would give me extra funds

      1. jamhot12
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Can't believe that everyone is ignoring Josh king .....

  29. FCSB
    10 years, 2 months ago

    is holgate still a likely starter??

    1. McQueen
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Doubt it! Although he did play pretty well. But Coleman is first choice, no doubt.

  30. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Alexis, son, you better not get injured today.

    1. McQueen
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He won't, he'll score a brace, come back to UK and score another brace! He's not human, he's a goal machine!! 😉
