    Theo Walcott looks very promising. Anyone brave enough to go for him instead of Sanchez?

    1. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No go area for me after last season. Up there with Lamela.

      Well, Im watchin a Premier League analysis of an ex Eurosport commentator who keeps updates from his sources. He's mentioned about rumors.

    Should I take out ibra Barkley and hazard for aguero sanchez and another 6.4 midfielder probably Hendo?

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Probably yes

    2. Rhys85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I'm not sure about Henderson, what about Chadli or Townsend?

  7. @SirAustinDangerPowers
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Bottomed

    Finally comes down to this.

    A Sanchez Deeney
    (ideally want Ighalo but can't find the extra. 5)

    B Ibra Chadli
    (this will become A before GW8 with Fts)

    Who to go with for now?

    1. Johan Queef
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A

  8. top556677

    pulled trigger on WC on Sunday. Thoughts? 0.9m in bank

    Foster (jaku)
    Walker, Williams, Friend, Amat, Holebas
    Sanchez, sterling, antonio, capoue, (marney)
    Aguero, Costa, Lukaku

    Is it worth getting in love/koscielny before they rise?

    1. The Left Duke #3
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Dislike Cap as 4th cos if and when he starts blanking your stuck with him and Marney and would need 2FT to free up cash to get rid of 1

  9. Damsko
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    WC activated, so many options but I'm almost there! Dropped Ibra for Costa but what about Sanga, good choice or not?

    Heaton (Jakupovic)

    Baines Holebas McAuley (Sagna) (Amat)

    Antonio Firmino Sterling (V) Sanchez Capoue

    Aguero (C) Costa (Diomande)

        Thanks though I do realize most teams are near abouts the same here

    Chelsea defence is missing Zouma big time

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      - Zouma big time is fine.

  15. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Just saw Deeney is on 3 Yellows would he last for 5 more gameweeks? Is he also like Costa?

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Holebas too. And Rooney. I did a Suspension tightrope earlier.

      If he can get 3 yellows in 5 games, surely he can get 2 in 5.

  16. Hurricane Gilbert

    Lol awful defending

  17. KOLASINA(C)
    • 8 Years

    Chelsea are even worse than Manchester United atm

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Bit harsh.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Said it at the start of the season and have seen nothing to change my mind. Chelsea won't finish top 4. Scraped through in a few matches late on but look so weak even with Kante and Matic protecting the defence. Bar Azpi they're all either off form or plain past it

    3. FPL Puppy
      • 8 Years

      What was Luiz doing???

    4. The Generalator
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Is Baines the best 5.5m def?
      Anyone else? 5m+

    5. ScottyMaz12
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Repost as bottomed - best option from these two combos?

      a) Sterling & £7.2m striker (or below - likely Deeney)
      b) Snodgrass & Costa

    6. jaybradlights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Cahill has been groomed for the last few years to be Terry's replacement - he's just not good enough to be the leader of a team that intends to challenge for the title.

      BendyBus will it start

    8. FPLHaggis
      • 9 Years

      YE or NAY

      Ibra & Barkley > Lukaku & Firmino for (-8)

      1. Totally !rre!evant
        • 8 Years

        I wouldn't

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        sure why not

    9. Hi I'm Jose
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Having watched all games this season, I doubt Sunderland will get collect 10 pts. They are so rubbish.

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Hope they are finally relegated

        1. Leaf

          Along with Stoke

      Xhaka goal

    12. The Left Duke #3
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not seeing much love for Payet in many WC teams. Is Antonio in too good form with the 2m in the kitty just too hard to ignore (currently on Antonio btw, just love Payet)
      Thoughts?

      1. jaybradlights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Forget Antonio. Payet the way forward, the man has assisted their last four goals. The West Ham defence is in such dire straits Antonio might be pushed back to RB again, and surely it's a matter of time before teams such planning for his aerial presence.

      2. The one who has a knock
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I'm strongly considering running with both.

      3. Hi I'm Jose
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Payet is essential for West Ham, but too expensive when you are able to have Mane, Firmino, Antonio, Sterling, Walcott, Chadli, etc. at bargain and plays up front compared to him.

        1. The Left Duke #3
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Ya I hear ya man. My team becomes very unbalanced when I try upgrade Ant to Payet. Will prob stick.
          Payet is some player to watch to be fair. His dead balls alone are vital to the Hammers

      Another Xhaka screamer!

      Shaw out for about 3 weeks? Did I read correctly in one of last posts? Any news on that?
