While the Gameweek is in full swing, it’s not too late to dive into our partner game Yahoo who are offering more big-money prizes covering tonight’s fixtures.

They are rolling out a Premier League £3.5k Wednesday contest which takes in all seven matches from this evening’s top-flight action.

Getting underway at 7.45pm, the contest is guaranteed to run, costs £5 to enter and is a multi-entry game, which means you can select up to eight teams. The top 174 places pay out – there’s a minimum win-back of £10, with £350 going to the first place.

Driven by Opta data, the Yahoo game has a unique scoring system which is tailor-made for members of our community seeking out a Daily Fantasy Sports game.

If you’re new to Yahoo, you can sign up and claim a free £50 in credit to your account when you deposit just £5. Promo code: Fantasy50.

It’s also worth having a look over our Strategy Guide before selecting your line-ups, as this gives you a better idea of the Yahoo game and the types of players who tend to benefit.

FFS Strongest XI

Ederson – £16
John Stones – £15
Maya Yoshida – £14
Marcos Alonso – £17
Eden Hazard – £25
Cesc Fabregas – £18
Xherdan Shaqiri – £18
Johan Berg Gudmundsson– £16
Bernardo Silva – £14
Sergio Aguero – £28
Theo Walcott – £19

We’re backing Man City right across the positions in our Yahoo XI, with Ederson one of four players from Pep Guardiola’s side selected for a home encounter with West Brom.

Up against a travel-sick attack with just four goals in their last eight top-flight road trips, the league leaders will be confident of improving a record that’s surprisingly produced just one clean sheet in seven at the Etihad.

Ederson also benefits from the Yahoo scoring system – keepers earn points for wins or draws and pick up double the number of points as defenders for a clean sheet.

Rested for the weekend FA Cup win over Cardiff, John Stones looks set for a first-team return against the Baggies.

We’d prefer the goal threat of his more expensive team-mate Nicolas Otamendi but, with Guardiola’s options now increasing in central defence with the arrival of Aymeric Laporte, there’s a chance the Argentine could be rested for this one.

Despite featuring just eight times at home, Stones still sits among the top seven defenders for successful passes (599) in front of his own fans. City, meanwhile, have allowed fewer shots in the box (44) than any side at home.

Utilised off the bench in the weekend FA Cup win over Watford, Maya Yoshida is expected to return to the Southampton teamsheet in time to host a Brighton side that’s failed to score in six successive road trips. The Japan international has fired 16 efforts inside the box in 18 appearances this season – only five defenders have managed more.

Marcos Alonso remains a peerless big-hitting option at the back as Chelsea welcome Bournemouth to Stamford Bridge.

Antonio Conte’s men have offered outstanding resilience in home matches, conceding just twice in the last eight in front of their own fans across all competitions. Alonso, meanwhile, is the number one defender for shots (45), attempts on target (17) and goals (six), and grabbed a goal and assist in the FA Cup win over Newcastle on Sunday.

Five goals in his last four league appearances against Eddie Howe’s men books Eden Hazard’s place in our line-up. With Alvaro Morata still sidelined and Michy Batshuayi poised for a move, the Belgian looks likely to lead the line this evening. He’s warmed up nicely for this one, too, bagging three goals in as many matches in all competitions.

We’re also backing the fit-again Cesc Fabregas to return to Chelsea’s XI against the Cherries. An unused sub in the weekend cup win over Newcastle, the Spaniard is ranked first for successful crosses (18), key passes (42) and big chances created (seven) at Stamford Bridge. Only Cesar Azpilicueta (716 to 665) has made more successful passes at home among the Chelsea contingent.

Stoke playmaker Xherdan Shaqiri is handed a starting berth at home to a Watford defence with one clean sheet in 10 on the road. The Potters’ number one for shots on target (22), successful crosses (36) and chances created (49), the Swiss international has been involved in 48% of his side’s goal when on the pitch. In terms of big chances created, only Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne (13) has bettered Shaqiri’s 12.

The number one player for successful crosses (12) and key passes (14) over Gameweek 21-24, Johan Berg Gudmundsson’s distribution could prove decisive for Burnley’s trip to Newcastle. The Magpies have conceded more headed attempts (62) than any side this season and have mustered just one clean sheet in their last eight at St James’ Park across all competitions.

An ankle injury for Leroy Sane looks set to boost Bernardo Silva’s pitch-time for Man City. Priced at just £14 in Yahoo, the summer signing has stepped up his output in recent weeks, producing three goals and six assists in his last 13 matches across all competitions. Silva looks likely to take up the right flank role against a Baggies backline that places third bottom for crosses conceded (285) down their left side.

We have to make room for Sergio Aguero after his hat-trick against Newcastle last time out. In terms of home goals, the Man City frontman is now tied with Harry Kane at the summit on 10 apiece – good news as he goes head-to-head with a West Brom defence that’s mustered a single clean sheet in their last 11 road trips.

We turn to Theo Walcott as Everton look to take advantage of the Riyad Mahrez unrest and get the better of Leicester at Goodison Park. The winter signing wasted no time in making his mark for the Toffees, supplying an assist on his debut in the Gameweek 24 stalemate with West Brom. The Foxes have struggled to keep out opponents on the road – indeed, their clean sheet at Chelsea was a first in eight away matches.

As Yahoo allows late swaps up until each kick-off, our listed line-up may well be subject to change.

The Midweek Contests

As well as the Premier League £3.5k Wednesday contest, Yahoo are also offering a Premier League £600 Wednesday contest that takes in the same seven fixtures.

This is also guaranteed to run, but costs just £1 to enter and is a multi-entry game, which means you can select up to six teams. The top 155 places pay out – there’s a minimum win-back of £2, with £60 going to the first place.

    Everton have agreed a deal with Manchester City to sign Eliaquim Mangala on loan. (Source: SkySports)

      Will he start?

    2. ★Kuntheman★

      Hopefully with option to buy

    3. El-Kloppico

      Everton has bought for 100M of def, yet trying to loan DEF.

    4. Reedy
      • 15 Years

      This is shit news. Just when I was feeling happy that Holgate was the safest Everton defender..

  2. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years

    The most annoying thing is that Mahrez plays SWA next, so dropping him is a tough choice

    1. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes I’d hope he will play that game.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

      Swansea just beat Liverpool and Arsenal and are on a great run and fighting for their lives - not sure it works be an easy game

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Very good point.

  3. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Mahrez should be allowed to leave tbh.

    1. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Think he could if he gave the club enough time to find replacement.

      1. boc610
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        He told them he wanted to leave last summer, they've had time..i get the feeling they just don't take him seriously

        1. Amsterhammer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          He also then agreed to play for the season.

          1. boc610
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            I somehow doubt that

        2. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Only offer though was a last minute one from Citeh because of Sane injury.

      2. Sims
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Lei should have taken the money and look for a replacement in summer

        They're not getting relegated and can't finish in Europe spots either realistically

    2. Tommy Svindal Larsen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      How are they 'not' allowing him to leave? The issue is with the valuation of the player and the clubs are £30m apart according to reports

      1. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        £60m is a fair price already considering how much Auba cost Arsenal.

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah he is being allowed, just that Leicester want a price for his best player.. I think it's fair since players price are crazy nowadays, that Leicester should try and get the max.

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        They paid 400k for him. I think that 64 million profit is a fair price for someone who helped you reach champions league quarter final.

        1. Pacer.
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          it's irrelevant what they paid for him, they have to replace him and will have to pay the going rate themsleves.

          look at the cost of top players now, why should they let him go for any less than 50-100ml, depending on when the transfer is made

        2. Big Mac 24
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I don't think just because you spotted a bargain and nurtured a world star that you have to sell him at a cut price to one of the world's richest clubs - fair price is nonsense!

        3. el polako
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I think its a decent thing to do after all that Mahrez did for Leicester, he clearly wants out and 64ml profit is good money even in today's inflated market.
          Looking at the players that came to Leicester since they have one the title its safe to say that they wont be going for any A-listers any time soon hence why I dont think they will be quoted premium prices.
          I probably never make good busienessman but just belive that being there should be room for respect in football and decent behaviour - turning down 64ml for a player that wants to leave and was a great servant is far from decent(in my book anyway).
          Wont be surprised if this comes and bites Fox on his arse.

      2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Agreed, Mahrez is a great player and he is worth what Leicester value him considering the market these days. And he will be very hard to replace

      Do not fix it if aint broken i suppose.

      I can understand a panic buy for Laporte when you have Stones maybe it was the only thing in that City team that needed fixing.

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        It's good to see even Man C drawing the line when other clubs are taking the piss. I may be wrong with Laporte - he could be proved long term to be a very good signing. After all VVD ?

    3. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      In a world where David Luiz is 50m, Van Dijk is 75m, Lukaku is 75m, and Dembele is 120+m...54m for a player like Laporte is a steal.

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Also in a world where bundesliga top scorer also costs about the same amount of money

        U can't use just the extreme worst value transfers as reference

    4. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      it's all so easy when you're winning

      if city were in third they'd be spraying that money all over the place

  5. F4L

    Get on the next train to Merseyside Mahrez, there's a good lad

  6. Deano
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I’m certainly not an Aresenal hater but surely Gunners fans who watched last night’s game must be concerned.

    Yes, it was played in deplorable conditions but most AFC players looked like the wanted to play with an umbrella! Surely professional sportsman paid at this level need to rise above external challenges.

    Another worrying stat I heard in the broadcast is that Arsenal have not won an away game all season in the PL.

    Has the Manager therefore lost his players and can n longer motivate them with the desire to play CL?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      players play for their wages nowadays, not for the club

    2. Random Name

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Was weird to see such a nervous defence. Should be getting stronger in that department, not weaker. #wengerout

    4. Random Name
      • 10 Years

      Also Arsenal beat palace away a few weeks back so no idea what you're on about tbh

    5. Random Name
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      'can no longer motivate them with the desire to play cl' - surely laca and auba both knew that before signing?

      sorry for third reply already - i just keep finding faults in your post.

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thought u had stopped reading,

      2. Deano
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I admire your commitment, or is it delusion?

        Wasn’t teaming down vs Palace. (Are you seriously judging Arsenal against Palace?)

    6. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I don't think Ozil would have sign if he is not motivated. Just an off-day imo.
      But tbh, SWA played great yesterday.

    7. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Wenger needs to sort our defense out with a strong CB and CDM in the summer window. Attack looks decent now.

    8. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

    9. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      We've won 3. Still terrible mind you. Honestly I feel the defenders played like amateurs last night. Monreal's scissor kick clearance was stupid so was Cech's clearance

    10. Visionaries
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      But let's be honest, is it anything new? This has been going on at Arsenal for years. It will never change as long as Wenger is still in charge.
      Long may it continue

    11. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      After the shift/passion they put in to beat Chelsk I was disappointed to see them roll over and die against Palace.

      Always hard to predict which Gunners are going to turn up.

    12. Gnu

      I wish I kept the (c) on Sterling instead of Salah.

      1. Blame it on Traore
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        16 points is a reasonable return I'd say, and I would still have captained Salah over Sterling.

    I wonder who the player City were willing to give Leicester was?

    1. Lone Wolf FPL

      BSilva?

    So basically City come in just to unsettle Mahrez for one day and ruin my fantasy team. What a horrible club

    1. Lone Wolf FPL

      this

    2. Ógie

      Pep certainly does not own Mahrez in his fpl team.

    Neymar annoyed at PSG for not using Lucas more and for letting him go to Spurs. Well as a Spurs fan 😀

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Brazilian blood..
      Sad seeing his compatriot go.. But sport-wise he should have left well before, was wasting his talent on the bench there.

      Neymar doesn't care about anyone apart from himself 😛

    Any transfer rumours involving Partick Thistle?

    We're looking for eleven players.

      WHat are you wearing?
      I’m in double denim. I look odd.

      1. Jafooli

        With mullet? I might be interested.....

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          No mullet, quite the mane though. Or is that the same thing?

    2. GENERATION X

      Random event: My Sunday team once played a Partick Thistle Supporters XI on the plastic at Deepdale.

      They slaughtered us even though they pretty much went straight from Preston town centre Saturday night to the ground the next morning.

  14. TherryOnWii

    Any other Arsenal fan that's actually more emotionally affected by Giroud leaving, rather than Auba signing? He's been such a class act throughout.

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Class act throughout, yes and I love him. But he's never had an amazing season for us, even when we had Alexis and Ozil supplying him. It's time to move on. Aubamayeng is much much better.

      1. TherryOnWii
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Football wise, absolutely. Auba would be much better. no brainer. It's just emotionally. It's a sad day 🙁

      2. Sims
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly

        The same arsenal fans crying out for a new striker the 4 yes he was fort choice in now mourning his loss

    2. Ógie

      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not an Arsenal fan but I went to the game vs QPR on Boxing Day a few years ago, did a little nut job on someone and got a red. I think Wenger is nuts to get rid, decent goals per minute output.

      Andre no brainier have u seen him play?

      1. Deulofail

        I bet Andre hates that nickname

      Big brother is the better one.
      But little brother is more fit physically and faster. Has even been lucky lately with his goals.

    6. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I’m fact I think Andre is very under rated and under used. Haven’t been keeping track so I guess he has had injuries but if he started week in week out he would be like another Mane imo

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Remember when he first came to the Premier League? Everyone was falling over themselves trying to get double Swansea attack - Ayew and Gomis.

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Yea I remember, I never rated Gomis at all tho and that celebration ugh

          1. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            That was one of the cringiest celebrations, for sure.

            1. Pierce34
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              Mind you, my aversion for cringe-inducing celebration routines hasn't stopped me from getting Lingard 😛

  16. circusmonkey

    Is Dragovic now a fixture in the Leicester defence? Will he be out when Morgan is fit and how long will until he is back?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Hemaybe a feature.

    2. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No Huth just returned from an inj

  17. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    With Conte ok to let D.Luiz go, I think LIV should have made a bid.
    Luiz can even play as holding MID and would still be better than Hendo or Gini.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Greedy Pool

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Luiz won't be sold by CHE.. he is closer to management than Conte

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Thought Arsenal were in for him 😕

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thought it was a straight swap for Giroud.
        I was already giving ARS the gold medal for this transfer window if that was to be completed.

  18. Paganoi
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Will Sterling move over to the left now that Sane is out? If so, I'm going to be monitoring him closely.

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Could happen with Bilva playing on the right

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I'd expect that.

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      David Silva has managed to play there at some points and did well.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      HEs played there a lot anyway me thinks.

    4. Paganoi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      IMHO, he's not nearly as effective when he plays on the left so I'll be curious to see how he performs over the next few weeks.

  19. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    If mahrez plays tonight which he won’t. It’s going to be time to ship him for sure. Team mates are annoyed at him, manager will be. His form will be gone and probably his guarantee of starts at least for a while anyway. Annoying but wel I have had him for like 12 weeks or something and he served me very well. Thank you Mahrez

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I bought him 2 nights ago 🙁 and probably he will be shipped out this week. Who is his best replacement in your opinion?

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Dunno depends who you have. For similar prices maybe look at Martial, Shaqiri or Mkhi. All a bit punty but so was Mahrez 12 weeks ago.

        1. AzzaroMax99
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I also bought Mkhi. Maybe Pogba or Spurs players in a week or two.

  20. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Was going to do Son -> Mahrez but held off for obvious reasons.
    What to do with Son and 1.3 ITB? He needs to go right?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Mikhi?

    2. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not necessarily. If you're keeping for Man United, why not just keep doing that. But yeah there are alternatives.

      1. fr3d
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I kinda had no choice. It's an awkward price bracket

    3. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Hopefully tonight will give us more of an indication.

    4. QuintonFortune25
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I would go Pogba for that price.

  21. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Kuntheman made a good point and maybe tomorrow it can be made in to a hot topic. With Swansea up next, what to do with Mahrez? He obviously won’t play tonight so there’s no way to tell what he’s like post the move failure.

    1. Amsterhammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'm going to hold and monitor.

      Staright swap to Pogba, Mkhi, maybe Son after this weekends games. Depends if any of them look good and Mahrez doen't.

      Ramsey and Martial on the radar.

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Keep. Great player. Will be fine, even if he's not at his best for one game. At the end of the day, Leicester effectively spent £55m or whatever to keep him. He's integral to the team's attacking spirit, and he still has all the great fixtures ahead.

      (I sold for a hit before deadline)

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        It must be a real conundrum for owners.

      2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        You say he might lose form for just one game. But look how he pe formed after previous transfer windows when he didn’t get a move.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          World Cup coming up. Could ean himself a 100m move to City or another club in the Summer.

          It's not as though he handed in the transfer request on Jan 1 because he was unhappy. If was in conjunction with City's interest after Sane's injury. He would be pretty immature to let something as explainable as this to affect his game too much. I'd imagine he's able to get his head down and get on with it, if he cares about his career.

    3. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Just wait and see. There's been speculation around him before and it hasn't disrupted him too much.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Well he’s been poor after transfer requests before.

    4. SW6
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If you have him keep him, but don't buy him

  22. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Sparta Prague goalkeeper Martin Dubravka will land in Newcastle and go straight to St James’ Park where he’ll have his medical as the team prepare for tonight’s match with Burnley.

    Byebye Darlow and Elliot!

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Farewell Elliott game would be nice...

    2. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      It's good news as a Toon fan. Both Darlow and Elliot have been fantastic at times but the consistency week in, week out just isn't there

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        What with Mbemba?
        I think he is a solid player and did well in the FA Cup match.
        So did Darlow though.

    3. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Some disruptive moves being made in these late stages. Not necessarily high-profile moves, but could definitely shake up our FPL squads a bit.

  23. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    When 6:45pm hits we will have a short break from transfer talk on here as we scurry to check the team news and again at 7pm. Then when 7:45pm hits bam BACK AGAIN, the PL football takes centre stage

  24. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Early thoughts. 1FT and 0.0 ITB.

    A) Zanka -> Chilwell
    B) Depoitre -> Ayew

    DDG
    Alonso, Mustafi, Ogbonna, Mee
    Salah, Sterling, Hazard, CM
    Kane, Firmino

    Elliot, Zanka, Depoitre, RLC

    1. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I like B. Will be my DCL replacement.

      1. KUNingas
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks

  25. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins outlines the club's plans for Deadline Day and says he is 'confident' they will sign Andre Ayew and Andy King.

    Andre can be a threat for Jordan gametime imo.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Surely not when Jordan is in such good form

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Form is temporary.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Andre will certainly take some of Jordan’s minutes

    3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Ahahaha Andy King

  26. circusmonkey

    • 15 Years

    Any views on Watford's Carillo? Too expensive in FPL but thinking of an auction league bid. Will Delofeu spoil his minutes?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Delofeu will play on RM and Carillo up front imo.

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Oups.. sorry, I mixed up with Soton signing, Carillo!

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        The only name misspelt more than 'Firminho/Firminio'

        1. Random Name

            • 10 Years

    2. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years

      Big risk with Deulofeu now there

      Richie seriously needs a rest though so both could play

      1. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thought for a moment someone in my auction league had sussed who I was but you mean Richarlison don't you.

  27. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    The moment of truth is fast approaching
    One minute before deadline I swapped out Kane for Aguero for a hit.
    Took captaincy of hazard and promptly put it on Aguero
    How much hurt will I receive tonight
    Points wise?

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A lot. He is my captain and I can do little right this season...

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Hopefully your fortunes will take an up turn.

        1. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Amen to that...I'm not used to being crap

    2. Paganoi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I made the same move for a -4 but took the armband off Salah in favor of Kun. Fingers crossed.

  28. Visionaries
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone shifting Mahrez before Leicester's very favourable home weekend fixture?
    Can't see him being thrown straight back into the team after throwing his toys out the pram

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Who knows.. They need him imo.

      1. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        He's got back on with it before so he might again, then he knows he can go in the summer. But tbh I don't know why Leicester don't cash in now, good time. They never said what MC player they were offered, they could have pushed for a better one.

        1. El-Kloppico
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah but honestly Leicester have been greedy with that.
          My guess would be to make Nacho a permanent deal.

          1. circusmonkey
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            It already is according to wiki.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      What very favourable fixture is that ?

      1. Visionaries
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Swansea H, granted they look a lot better under the new manager

  29. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Swansea striker Oli McBurnie set to go on loan to either Sunderland or Barnsley, says Swansea Chairman Huw Jenkins.

    1. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I don't mind this so much. Was never going to play for me anyway, so the incoming red flag just seems like a more honest assessment of his prospects.

  30. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Slimani medical done at Newcastle

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Could be a genuine FPL option I reckon
