I’ve been pondering my goalkeeper selection for the last month – i.e. main keeper and non-playing reserve or two cheapos. Seen lots of comments about this but not much real analysis so I final…

Marc Albrighton was the popular choice, every man and his dog had the Englishman in their sides with the promise of a nailed-on option and even some potential attacking returns with a solid 4 assis…

The case for cheap points. Nearly every RMT shows an abundance of cash spent on the midfield and strikers, with the goal being to be as cheap as you dare in defence. I find this to be a bad ide…

Thinking of setting up an 'Early Doors' cup - similar to one I ran last year for FFS non-qualifiers. Would be in a CL format, 32 places up for grabs, group stages then knockouts. Will all be on a …

I respectfully disagree with some of the defenders watchlist. Ivanovic - A sure starter? Davies - Why not Chester for 4.5m? Shawcross - 5.5m for defender from a team that got 9 CSs last year? Less…

Fantasy Football Scout Daily Hot Topic Which players are top of your watchlist in the gk, def, mid and forward roles and why?

Since you cannot possibly have every big hitter. Which one are you most afraid of not owning? Currently I don't have Costa.

Who do you think are the best long and short term 4.0m defender options, in order of preference?

How I see the midfield situation personally. I think Ramsey is quick becoming the most owned mid, which is saying something about how he's rated as he doesn't have the best fixtures but you can't …

How are your benches looking? Anyone going for the maximum cheap bench strategy of 4m gk, two 4m defenders and one 4.5m midfielder? Or is it wiser to build a bench that can deal with rotation? W…

Project 'Make a balanced team with Rooney Costa Sturridge' is complete!

He's handsome...He's stylish....He's DANGEROUS.... Looking back at last season, one of the main reasons for Hazard’s dip in form was how defences began to adapt the way they played him. At times…

Interested to hear if anyone's definitely doubling up in defence for a particular team at the start. If so, who?

what's the best 4.5/4.5 gk rotation? I thought it was Foster/Krul and while it does rotate, neither team really bodes confidence for cleansheets on their own anyhow

Since the resident Stoke fan (there is only one around on this website apparently) is a hard creature to find, I have taken it upon myself to search through Stoke’s forums and recent games to see…

The way I see it, Siggy is looking odds on for a price drop. Think about it, he's a punt by most, he's easily replaceable at that price (Young, Henderson, Puncheon, Matic, Ince, Snoddy, New Bandwa…
