    G2G?
    Panti
    Jenkinson Naughton Morgan
    Hazard Ramsey Payet Aarons Bolasie
    Rooney Aguero

    0.1 in the bank, any ways to improve?

    1. steveyeu
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Aarons and Payet could both be big gambles depending on how willing you are to use transfers early on

      1. ebow14
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Payet's stats from last season and his price are too good to ignore imo. Instead of bolasie and aarons, I could do Lens and Ritchie. You reckon this is any better?

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'm almost sure you could easily save 6-7m in attack and still get the same or better points on early rounds from there, without having to enjoy all the 1 pointers from defence.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Make it 8-10m.

        1. ebow14
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          You get much much more points from attacking returns on this game. Panti will get save points and possible motm. Naughton looks solid for cleanioes puls tackling bonus. Jenkinson and morgan look good bets for clean sheets plus assists and goals respectively.
          If I did downgrade by strikers, would you recommend downgrading rooney or aguero?

          1. steveyeu
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Leicester might struggle on the clean sheets I reckon, so Morgan could be a big gamble if thats the only reasoning on having him in

            1. ebow14
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Amavi from villa a better bet? Or go for elphick/martin and upgrade a midfielder?

    3. Sky4625
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Great team imo. Leiecester will struggle to keep cs under ranieri imo. Amavi id go for great in preason and really attacking.

  2. steveyeu
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Right lets try again now I've settled more on a lineup! RMT please?

    Adrian
    Fuchs, Soares, Fonte
    Hazard, Henderson, Cattermole, Mane, Payet
    Kane, Sahko

    Not 100% on the defence or Cattermole though...

    1. ebow14
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Downgrade the defence slightly (although it looks solid) to upgrade cattermole/sakho. I wouldn't get fuchs cos of rotation issues with schlupp (morgan is cheaper I believe)

  3. Eric Banternaaa
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Come On Lads! Hopefully last draft, any improvements on this team:

    Ruddy
    Mert | Azpi | Huth
    Fab | Sterling | Cazorla | Depay
    Rooney | Lukaku | Pelle

    Bench: Butland, OShea, Targett, Anya

    0.5ITB GW1 plan to do Lukaku > Benteke

    Cheers

    1. steveyeu
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      This is the Sky RMT not FPL mate...

    2. mikey1bet
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      We have a similar team / squad

      Myhill

      OShea, Huth, Richards
      Carzola, Henderson, Fabregas, Cabaye, Wijnaldum,
      Lakaku, Rooney

      Aguero Turner Targett Butland

  4. ebow14
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Thinking of going 2 big hitter midfielders and 3 mid priced ones (hazard, ramsey, ritchie, lens and payet) as opposed to 3 premium ones and 2 'cheapies'. Reckon this is a good plan or should I go with something like henderson/milner with someone very cheap like redmond or aarons?

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 4 months ago

      depends on captain options i guess. im weighing up the two options myself

  5. steveyeu
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Adrian
    Soares, Martin, Fonte
    Hazard, Henderson, Brunt, Coquelin, Mane
    Kane, Sahko

    Think that will be me more or less set now!

  6. oliverlevy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone opting for Milner?

    Looks great for bonuses and seems to be a real box-to-box threat.

    1. oliverlevy
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      And one more question,

      Payet does look great for value, as well as Sakho, but is it just me that is concerned by a Europa League run that could really effect their season? Or is everyone taking advantage of West Ham's early start as they're in a much better match-fitness position?

      1. Js31
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        true - west ham could go 5 games without a win, but payet could pick up 3 assists and a goal lol I'm sticking with him

    2. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I really want him and hes been in my team since day 1 but i ma wait on him now as i keep tinkering lol

      1. Js31
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        same, Payet clearly a good player but is he gonna perform in the West Ham team? How have they been playing under Bilic - more attacking?

        1. d1sable
          • Has Moderation Rights
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I tink Payet has great potential to be the lallana type player from Saints. Same price too (back then) i think

          1. Js31
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            good point, I'm torn between him and Ibe. think he could be a gem this year but perhaps later in the season. Payer's value seems to good to ignore, plus i expect him on set pieces & a likely motm contender as you said in article

  7. schlupptheweek
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I did Sky last year for the first time but was awful and gave up after 6 weeks

    Say if you have Clasie or Idrisse Gueye who are not very attacking @5.7m each but are very good statistically, are they more likely to score more than the more attacking Mahrez, Sinclair or Lens who are only slightly more expensive

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Clasie has potential for that but Obiang for 5.1 has that too, or Capoue at 5

      I prefer the flair option (mahrez / Aarons etc) but i can go either way

      Safety vs potential/risk

  8. uptothesky
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    RMT Please:
    Panti
    Soares - Elphick - Jenkinson
    Depay - Mane - Payet - Ayew - Hazard
    Benteke - Lukaku

    0.2 in the bank

    After GW1 -> Soares(5.9) to Amvi(4.9) & Lukaku(8.8) to Augero(10)

    Also interested in peoples thoughts on if Haidara is nailed on as I'm not crazy on Elphick?

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Tis a puzzle at this stage

      Both could lsoe there place during the season in any case

      Save the transfers and go for 5m ish players i think, hurts the midfield but there are always little gems in midfield further down the line

    2. Js31
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      great midfield. not sure on Elphick, lot of people seem to have him though, can you see Bournemouth keeping many clean sheets?

      1. uptothesky
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Not at all really, its more to do with the fact he is nailed on to start in my opinion.
        Hopefully after a few weeks someone within the budget bracket from a slightly better team will become available (Haidara?). I may have to downgrade the midfield to end up with Ward - Jenkinson - Amavi.

        1. Js31
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          You know players stay the same value all season on sky, right? Ward would be good, my weak link at the back is Bennett of Norwich. morr value in midfielders than defenders though so not too bothered

  9. d1sable
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone risking Joe Gomez?

    1. Jawain - 9th overall 2014/2…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Tempted to in normal game or ultimate but not in Sky.

    2. djenzio
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      yep

  10. Jawain - 9th overall 2014/2…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Whats your team looking like at the moment d1sable? Found this years cheap midfielder yet?

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 4 months ago

      No lol

      im weighing up:

      Walcott + Arrons

      vs

      Milner + Mahrez

      You?

      1. Sky4625
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Walcott aarons all day for me. Aarons is injury prone however so may go wiv jurado n upgrade elsewhere

      2. Sky4625
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Is milner in your thinking due to captaincy gmw 2?

        1. d1sable
          • Has Moderation Rights
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Na long term player who will churn out points. Could be a skipper at various points though

      3. Jawain - 9th overall 2014/2…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Oooh tough decision that one. I am very keen on Walcott this year and think he could do very well. Saying that Arrons is very injury prone and the fixtures are awful for him. Mahrez looked good at the end of last season.

        Think I would pick Walcott and Aarons but only just.

  11. oliverlevy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Will Clasie be fit for the weekend? And is he even worth it seeing as Saints will most probably be playing thursday-sunday this season

  12. Snoopy

      Nice CAPS.

      1. oliverlevy
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        When you want your team rated but you cant get noticed aha!

        Team looks strong. But would suggested replacing Sterling for a more budget-friendly option and invest in a heavy hitter to replace Pelle. When Aguero is fit and scoring and you dont have him you will be punished..

        1. Snoopy
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          apologies for CAPS lol... Ye Aguero will be in for Sterling after game week 2, Pelle I think will be top scorer in forst few weeks.

          1. Js31
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            agree on Pelle. Im in the same boat though i don't know how I'm going to accommodate Aguero when he's back, although i do think it will take him a couple of weeks to get in his stride once he's back

    2. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      • 14 Years

      how sway?

  13. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Does Ramsey get tackle bonus? And do prices go up or down?

    1. Js31
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      prices remain the same all the way through

    2. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights

      He does and No

  14. oliverlevy

    10 years, 4 months ago

    I know this is a Sky FF page and I am a big player on the site. But would someone mind Rating my FPL team.

    Panto / Butland
    Clyne / PVA / Naughton / Mings / Baker
    Hazard / Ozil / Ayew / Depay / Jurado
    Wilson / Kane / Sakho

    4.0m in bank for Aguero. May upgrade Sakho for Benteke as season goes on.. cheers!

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      It's full of punts, so they could work out. Personally I'd spend all the money in the first gw

  15. 32chickens

    Ah must get round to sky team and joining D1sabled group
    so comments please

    Steklenburg
    Francis Amavi PVA
    Haz Silva(2nd c) Ritchie Mane Lens
    Kane Pelle(c)

    No Arsenal-dont trust rotation
    lens I have had the pleasure of seeing in person-specialises in taking 2 people on at a time

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Me likey!

      Aguero plan?

      1. 32chickens
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        kunlite-he's busy playing in my second team -i think i drop kane there and put the keeper down a bit
        i rate SOT very much

  16. d1sable
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Elphick and Ritchie

    or

    Francis and Aarons

    I think first easily wins but only if Elphick plays..... if he dosent that means likely 2 transfers....

    Thoughts?

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      depends if you can afford the explosive young man to break down-as he does
      elphick should play-many goals in the AV match and then liverpool up?
      but guess you cant afford francis and rictchie or to double BOR load-i have done on basis of the attacking advantage of francis over elphick

      1. d1sable
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Would go both Bournemouth if i could afford but i cant 🙁

        1. 32chickens
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          where has your big money gone-any chance of tradedowns?

          1. d1sable
            • Has Moderation Rights
            10 years, 4 months ago

            in the bank for aguero!

            Walcot Haz Mane Rooney

              well thats where i have an advantage-rooney in my blind spot

  17. oliverlevy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Payet & Pelle

    or

    Mane & Sakho

    __________

    Plus im really considering Andre Ayew.. thoughts??

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Flip a coin for that one, very tough.

      Ayew could be good but its a wait and see for me

  18. Would an idiot do that?
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Draft #537

    Adrian
    Pva Targett Amavi
    Haz Caz Ki Obiang
    Aguero Rooney Pelle

    Obviously Aguero will be silva until he's fit
    All thoughts appreciated

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Looks fine. Like Obiang for bps potential

      Targett may not play?

      1. Would an idiot do that?
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I was hoping he would play until the cheap defenders started to emerge?
        If Bertrand does play gw1 I could do Caz + Targett > Walcott + Elphick?

  19. oliverlevy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Disable are you putting up a fixtures article soon? Planning a team for some early 3 captain GW's is proving very very difficult!

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Captain just went up?

  20. oliverlevy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    How recently? Aint seen it

  21. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Just trying to understand how to play

    If I had 3 chelsea and they play on a Sat, then transfer those 3 to arsenal players on Sun and captain one with a captain change. Would I get 3 extra players points and a the double captain?

    Btw there are still a few cheap defenders, look harder.

    1. Would an idiot do that?
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Yes if you transfer a player in before the game day deadline they will score points for you. Doesn't matter how many players

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Spill with the cheap defenders 🙂

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Promoted sides, you just got to choose which teams will get hammered. I'm disappointed Mulumbu has got injured though 🙁

    3. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 4 months ago

      If you have 3 Chelsea players with one as captain.

      you sub all three to Arsenal players

      You would get 6 players points and two captains WITHOUT using your captain swap

  22. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Are most starting with or leaving money itb for Aguero?

    1. d1sable
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Money ITB

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      ITB

  23. steveyeu
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Fonte or Soares, struggling to chose but can only fit one after yet more tinkering to make room for Aguero

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Fonte by a country mile

  24. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Here goes lads....

    Pantilimon

    Gomez Francis Schlupp

    Hazard Milner Ramsey Chadli Payet

    Rooney Pelle

    (money ITB for Rooney to Aguero).

    Never played Sky game before so where have I gone wrong? 🙂

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I like it. Midfield is good. Chadders is the punt there. There are no players at 7m or under who will get passing bonus I think so it's whoever gets the assists/goals/motm awards.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Not convinced by defence. Gomez is a risk and is Schlupp even nailed these days?

        Bournemouth could get smashed too!

      2. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Additionally how would someone like Sigurdsson stack up against Chadli do you think? Worse fixtures to start...

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Sigg is good at home, remember that.

      3. Js31
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Herrera passes for fun. Ive got him in my team, did great for me last year assist goals etc

    2. Js31
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Pants
      Naughton - Amani - Bennett
      Haz - Walcott - Sterling - Herrera - Payet
      Rooney - Pelle

      Want to start strong with midfield, but don't know what to do to bring Aguero in when fit?!

  25. steveyeu
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    RMT please!
    Draft 5453636

    Adrian
    Soares, Martin, PVA
    Hazard, Henderson, Obiang, Payet/Wanyama/Ki/Johnson, Mane
    Rooney, Kane

    Just unsure on Payet/Wanyama/Ki/Johnson

    MITB for Rooney > Aguero

    1. steveyeu
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Soares out for Fonte, then Obiang out for Nolan to still allow the Rooney/Aguero swap

      Really need to settle on a team!

      1. steveyeu
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Which fails as I'm 0.2 short. Doh.

  26. steveyeu
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Adrian
    Martin, Fonte, PVA
    Hazard, Henderson, Colback/Barry/Noble, Coquelin, Payet
    Rooney, Kane
