    Saved WC....How's this lot looking?

    Foster Jaku
    Friend Valencia Walker Williams Stones
    Sterling Ozil Capoue Firmino Lamela
    Aguero Costa Diomande

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      not bad but that Diomande..

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Lamela and diomande have to go, and i don't think Sterling is all that worth it either, rest is good though.

      Not sure tbh. I got rid of friend,stones,williams,Valencia, and lamela on WC this wk so don't know where that leaves me!!!

    when is the scout cast?

    1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Tonight.

  4. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

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

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        thanks good man

  5. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Hate that Firmino is playing in this

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yup. Queue injury

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      don't worry. will be subbed early.

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Due to injury.

    3. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years

      Surprised he has started to be honest.

  6. SKH
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Team for GW6:

    Foster Heaton
    Alderweireld Shaw McAuley Kingsley Holgate
    Zaha Alexis Capoue Fletcher Antonio
    Ibrahimovic Kane (c) Lukaku

    I'm looking for a possible -8 to
    Zaha Alexis Capoue Firmino Antonio
    Aguero Deeney Lukaku.

    Is it worth it?

    1. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      not for Zaha and Capoue as your 4th/5th rotation

    2. kingcairo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Considering you're not on WC, you have to take kane out cos of injury and you can bench zaha for antonio. Good move

  7. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Firmino and Coutinho link up play >

  8. Oven Glover
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Talk me out of doing Özil -> Sanchez for a hit, please.

    Foster
    Baines Valencia Walker
    Sterling Mane Antonio Özil Capoue
    Kun Kaku

    1.9 ITB

    Not worth it for a hit right?

    1. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Honsetly ozil has not done anything to warrant his 9.5 mil price, looks out of form

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        That's why it's so tempting. 13 points so far for 9.5 mil...

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Okazaki has scored 6 goals for us now since he joined, from memory at least 3 of the 6 were cleared "on the line" (but over the line). Weird scoring record.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Weird reply fail. Don't take the hit though, do it next week.

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Cheers weirdo

    3. PepTalk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'm having the same dilemma. Ozil price to drop soon which makes it a bit tight for me (1.6 ITB).

      I ditched Sanchez from WC team (for Ozil) when news hit he'd be on the bench and it's haunted me ever since...and 2 weeks is a lifetime in fantasy football.

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I guess I'll give him one more chance. Would be annoying if he outscored Sanchez plus a hit. I'm not affected by the price drop nor Sanchez potential rise but if it would have an effect I would transfer him out now. Money talks.

  9. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Mixed feelings about Firmino starting. Glad hes fit but c'mon Klopp, any need to risk him tonight?

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Needs to keep match sharpness missed the last game so an hour tonight will be good for him

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        It's not like he's been off for months though.

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Nor is a run out tonight going to kill the guy

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            It could.

            1. Bubz
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 9 months ago

              This

              Well i'm on a WC so i'll get someone else if he croaks it

    2. Exeter Gently

      my thought exactly

    3. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      probably was not even injured...more of just a rest over the weekend. I know what you mean though...give him a rest here!!!!!

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        A rest vs Chelsea away?

        1. Cevap
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          hmmm, good point...never mind.

          *grabs my coat*

  10. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Benteke or Deeney?

    1. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Deeney, cheaper, better stats and much better fixtures.

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        cheers. need money to fit kun and thinking about to take a hit for Benteke -> Troy or Heaton -> Pickford

  12. The Generalator
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Doing rubbish so far, any help with the WC more than welcomed
    I know... Capoue 4th mid but my team value is bad and I want Zlat if possible

    WC
    Pickford-Jakupovic

    Holebas-Baines-McAuley-Francis-Amat

    Firmino-Sterling-Sánchez-Capoue-Fletcher

    Ibrahimovic-Deeney-Agüero

    1. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Ibra kun and sanchez is too much for me, apread the money around and keep 2 out of 3

  13. RobinNdaHood
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    WC draft #14. What do you guys think of this version:

    Heaton - Robinson
    Walker - Baines - Lovren - Holebas - Amat
    Sanchez - Firmino - Sterling - Snodgrass - Capoue
    Kun - Lukaku - Deeney

    1. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Looks nice

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I preferred draft-13.

    3. Mookty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No Antonio?

    4. Bullet Eder
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Complete template.

    5. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Why Robinson?

  14. MartialMatas
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this defence?

    Heaton Pickford
    Valencia Stones Lovren Holebas Amat

    I know people are getting frustrated by stones but surely the clean sheets are coming

    1. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years

      Clean sheet came last week but we still had 1 pointer

      1. Cevap

  15. George Agdgdgwngo

    9 years, 9 months ago

    Hmmm worried by chelseas fixtures.

    Would u prefer

    A. Costa and snodgrass

    B. Sterling and deeney

    Already have Aguero and capoue (5th sub)

    1. Hi I'm Jose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I will give one.more chance.to Hazard so as Chelsea against Arsenal. I reckon Costa will.find the net but may be booked. Arsenal are rubbish against Chelsea. Costa will find opportunities.

  16. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    On WC. Amat or Kingsley?

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Amat - Kingsley has more competition lurking.

      he probably takes his job back hahaha

  22. Cevap
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    best mid up to 7.8...rest of team is:

    Jaku/Foster
    McCauley, Valencia, Friend, Kone, Mee
    Sanchez, Capoue, Antonio, Firmino
    Deeney, Lukaku, Kun

    would also consider downgrading one of the 4.5's in defence to upgrade to 8.2

    cheers!

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years

      Deeney to Okazaki

        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers, Kalmoffit.

        not sure i'm on the Bolaise bandwagon especially considering I have Lukaku, but decent choice

    3. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Are you benching Capoue then?

      1. Cevap
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        that would be the plan. concerned if Capoue stops producing, it will be difficult to upgrade considering his price

    4. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Get spurs cover. Lamela is the best value imo

      1. Cevap
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        cheers, but been there done tthat...took his early points and sold. not guaranteed playing time

  23. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    What's your current team value? 101.6 any good?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      102 is about average.

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

        Mine isn't too great then! Hopefully Sterling, Antonio, Lukaku, KDB and Capoue rise again!

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Similar.

    3. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      102.5 - probably drop to 102.2 after all WC transfers are done.

      101.6 is very good.

    4. Vlekz
      9 years, 9 months ago

      103. Zlatan will drop. So will lose a bit there

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Sure

  24. timPgoodwin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    So whats the deal with Ozil this season? He makes my WC look so much better than it does with Sanchez and his cost.

    1. makaveli123
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Slow start. Give him some matches and he'll find the rhytm.

    2. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      nothing..still early. probably will get out of a funk, just don't know when

    3. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I have him and will probably keep him until their fixtures turn south. Will cost me at least one hit to get Alexis though.

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Lost set pieces to Cazorla.

  25. ChristoBisto
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    What are Shaw owners doing? Thinking of switching him out for a hit got £0.2m itb

      1. ChristoBisto
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Ah thank you TM. Maybe I stick rather than a hit then. Collins will come on if Shaw doesn't play

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

      Sold on WC even before injury. Utd are kak

  26. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Okazaki has scored 6 goals for us now since he joined, from memory at least 3 of the 6 were cleared "on the line" (but over the line). Weird scoring record.

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

      I always think you look better when he plays. 70 minutes of tireless effort before he gets hooked off knackered.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        We do, I don't expect he will get too many minutes now with Slimani around, but we will see. It's hard not to love him, he runs himself into the ground so hard that he rarely finishes a game, great smile too.

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

          Thought he was key to Vardys success last year. He dragged defenders everywhere.

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Is that all? Thought he'd scored way more

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        *6 last season, clearly my memory/maths is worse than I thought. So that will be 8 total 😀

        He doesn't score many, but he works his ass off for the team every time he plays.

    3. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      not to sound racist, but he does remind me of Ji Sung Park. Quiet man, dynamo on the pitch

    WC team, feedback plz...

    Francis, Holebas, Mcauley, Kingsley, Friend

    Firmino, Sanchez, Antonio, Capoue, Fletcher

    Ibra, Kun, Lukaku

    - worth doing Ibra to Costa and upgrade defence?
    - worth doing Firming to Snodgrass and upgrade defence?

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years

      I don't like your keeper choices

    Got to be my favourite article on this site!

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Never read the Pre-amble? 😮

      1. Cevap
        • 15 Years

        absolutely this

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

        One of the best, sure. But this one is full of raw stats, got to love that.

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I dont like it because it makes me want to buy every person mentioned in it

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

        I know, but at least it gives you some underlying stats, otherwise you would want to buy evrybody that had decent points return last GW. Now you can filter out some of them.

  30. HellasLEAF

    Those who transfer Early. Are you not worried about midweek matches causing injury?

    Or possibly even in training?

    What will happen to your plans if some can't play..

    1. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Unfortunately, early transfers are almost a must these days if you want to stay on top of your team's total value.

    2. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Early transfer were the only way to afford the players I wanted due to imminent price rises, most good players dont even start in these matches

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

      Risk yes, but this year (at least up until now) TV seems to be important. Imagine what you could do with an extra million?
