A bitterly disappointing Saturday rumbles on with a tea-time encounter at White Hart Lane.

In Fantasy terms, the clash between Spurs and West Ham looks likely to offer little compensation – aside perhaps for a scouting mission on Harry Kane and a potential clean sheet for the 37.7% owners of Kyle Walker. Son Heung-min’s decline as an option continues as he is relegated to the Spurs bench.

West Ham turn up having enjoyed something of a revival and boasting the fading Fantasy asset that is Dimitri Payet. His talents will be monitored, although an evil run of fixtures for Slaven Bilic’s side is likely to temper any enthusiasm in the Frenchman and Michail Antonio; now owned by just 9.2% of FPL managers, he looks likely to start at right wing-back again this evening.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    How does Kun, Lukaku and Allen ---> Costa, Defoe and Sanchez sound?

      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      yea

  2. Syd.

    Can't believe I'm asking this question after the amount of years i've played this game but here goes

    1. The Rock
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      If i have 2 Free Transfer and use 1 this week, will i have 1 or 2 next week?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        2

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        You get 1 when you use both.

        1. The Rock
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers TM. Sometime things can be too obvious!

  5. Yellin' in my Ear
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone worse than 10 (-4) from seven? Only player that did anything was Pickford on my bench. Triple Chelsea, Heaton and Evans left to hopefully will get me over 20

    1. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      13 from 9

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

      I take it one of the Chelsea players is your captain right or have you found an ingenious way of playing 12 players

      1. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Captain was Kaku, had counted him in today's massive score

        1. Yellin' in my Ear
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          But yes, double for captain is why it adds to 12

  6. matiakez
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Kaku to kane? Has to go tonight really or not at all.

    Or address the Allen, gundogen, fuchs, Rashford issues I have burning?

  7. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    2 FT. Ideas for this lot?

    Heaton Jaku
    Walker Fuchs Holebas Evans Amat
    Sanchez Walcott Firmino Coutinho Allen
    Kun Lukaku Austin
    0.0

    Thinking Walker->VVD or Walcott->Sigg

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Arsenal got green fixtures coming up.

    2. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      this honestly looks like a good team - you might pull a luxury transfer here (dropping Allen and releasing funds)

      VVD can wait 1GW
      Walcott is better value than Siggy if nailed (no signs of him not being nailed yet).

      I'd drop Fuchs the week after - Lei look abysmal away and although they're facing Sunderland I'm expecting them to concede.

  8. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So sick of missing Capoue's points.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Play him every week just incase.

      1. Gooner Kebab
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        He's out for DeRoon barring any injuries.

  9. paulwilsonpickett
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Does anybody know effective ownership for Hazard tomorrow?

    1. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      77%

      1. Fitzy.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That's in the top 10K anyway. Only about 37% overall.

    Bitterly disappointing gameweek indeed.. think I'm getting rid of Aguero. As much to avoid picking the "safe" captain as it is his average returns bar two great returns in his last 6/7 games.

    That aside, this Madrid derby is scintillating. Ten times the speed and aggression you'll see in most top-of-the-table EPL clashes. Watching in a Barcelona bar after they've dropped points at home to 10-men Malaga and it really is a unique experience. Couldn't care less about my awful gameweek (until the morning) .. switch on the game if you're not watching.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I would but X Factor is on.

      1. Gimli son of Gloin
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        An epic fail indeed. Can't believe that show is still chugging along.

        1. Aston-villain
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          It's him keeping Honey G in

    2. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Malaga ended with nine, caught the final ten minutes it was great

      1. Gimli son of Gloin
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        The 2nd red card is no reflection on the result though. The crowd was fascinating to watch over the last 15 or so minutes. Hissing at the ref over questionable penalty claims. Neymar was fairly poor throughout and got an awful verbal doing.

  11. Too Mane Men
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku + Allen need to go.

    Kane + De Roon welcome to the squad.

  12. GHB
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    If you had a rubbish score today it could be worse.

    You could be one of the 302 people who transferred out Yaya

    1. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      fpl has always been a massive hit with coma patients

    2. More Tragic
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      302 is net transfers out, so it's highly likely there's more than that.

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Meaning? There's people who brought him in? Surely not.

        1. More Tragic
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Betcha there's at least 1 person in this world that did.

  13. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    At least 1FT to burn this week...watcha reckon?

    Cech
    Clyne, Stones, Amat
    Sanchez, Firmino, Coutinho, Wally
    Aguero, Austin, Defoe

    Pickford, Capoue, Kone, Collins
    Bank 0.1m, 2FT

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      You might want Hazard after tomorrow.

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Spurs & City up next - think he can wait a couple

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          They leak for fun.

    2. The Rock
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Time to fix that defense.

      Stones out for Jenkinson? Maybe a 2nd transfer then on Collins out for someone?

  14. Syd.

  16. Del Monte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Any changes needed this week?

    Heaton Pickford

    Koscielny Fuchs Stones Holebas Amat

    Hazard Ozil Firmino Snodgrass Capoue

    Aguero Lukaku Austin

    0.5ITB

    Fuchs & Stones > Azpi & Van Dijk - Too much money in defence?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Stones out, i'd keep Fuchs for fixtures.

      1. Del Monte
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Form over fixtures for me.

        Leicester are very poor at the moment.

        1. Gooner Kebab
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Not worth a hit, do one this week.

    2. Swanremainsthesame
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      ??
      If fpl let you do that go right ahead., then let the rest of us know how you managed it.

      0.5m itcb + 5.4m+5.0m = 10.9m
      Azpi + V vD 6.1m+5.4m =11.5m

    Equal points so far .......1 each lol

  21. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Didn't think I'd be happy with 41 with only Hazard & McAuley but seems to be well above average looking at mini leagues. Happy days.

    Gundogan -> Siggy or Walcott?

    1. Winks Club
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sig

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years

      Come to my place now so I can slap you please.

      Tough. Both great picks. I'm on the fence

    3. jurgenklopp.8

      siggy

  22. Winks Club

    Scared that Redmond will end up on the bench

  23. pjanns
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard - Lallana - Allen - Coutinho - Fer
    Aguero - Lukaku - Costa.

    1 ft.

    Aguero --> Defoe
    Allen --> Sanchez

    Decent transfers right?

  24. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    With Sunderland now playing two up front. Will this not decrease Defoe's point scoring, in the long term? Let's face it, it will be a long time before Sunderland score three again.

    1. Winks Club
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      And is Anichebe a nailed 4,5 striker?

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        3 in 2 games. They daren't drop him.

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No I dont see any reason why it would.

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        They tend to not score too many. If Anichibe keeps pace with Defoe as he has, surely that leads to less returns for Defoe?

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I think that is a failure in reasoning tbh

          1. Monkey Hanger
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Why?

    3. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      It hasn't diminished in the past 2 games while Anichebe has played 90.

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        They don't play Hull, and Bournemouth every GW.

      Was the first one given to him?

        yep

  26. Syd.

    Bale assist

  27. Del Monte

    • 14 Years

    Will Zouma or Terry ever get back into this Chelsea side?

    I need a Chelsea defender but can't afford one 🙁

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Should. Can't see it happening while Cahill is playing his best footy

  28. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Costa or Kane?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Costa

  29. King Klopp
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Heaton Foster
    Stones Coleman Mcauley Amat Souare
    KdB Coutinho Redmond Allen Fletcher
    Aguero Costa Lukaku

    Is a worth -8 point hit to do Aguero Allen Stones---> Anichebe Hazard Alonso?

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      yes

  30. white lightning
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I think there's no reason to panic & it's just one of those weeks. Will save my ft this week & roll with this with 0.4itb:

    Foster
    Alonso, Fuchs, Holebas
    Hazard, Coutinho (c), Firminho, Capoue
    Aguero (vc), Costa, Lukaku

    Jaku, Amat. Pieters, Allen.

    Would you play either Amat (Palace h) or Pieters (Watford a) over Capoue (Stoke h). Capoue scored today so hopefully it could be the start of a bit of a roll for him & maybe players will see his points & start buying again. I just realised Capoue's 10 points equaled my team score of 10 from 7 incl (c) lol.

      You are not afraid of no Arsenal cover?
