Tempted into dealing our Wildcards by yet another “mediocre” Gameweek, Granville and I go through almost the entire episode before Jonty reveals he’s weakened and gone “active”. It’s a revelation that almost has us both logging off and reaching for our own panic buttons.

Before that dramatic finale, we find salvation via another bout of “rough the smooth”, cheering ourselves with tales of Gameweek totals which dip below even our miserable tallies.

We also take a further round of community questions, forcing me to “fess up” on Theo Walcott, while Granville laments Wayne Rooney’s form and the three of us tackle the merits of Mahrez, Ozil and loading up on City assets.

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

    If Everton have a torrid time in their difficult fixtures and Coleman at 13% ownership and Baines at 6% ownership, we could see a them dropping to 5.7 and 6.2 respectively when the fixtures turnaround, yes please!

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

      Baines is out for like three months. Coleman, on the other hand, should be a good pick. I've already an eye towards Coleman, Rom, and either Galloway or Barkley when their fixtures turn on my wildcard 🙂

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        yep, its gonna be good!

      Bad GK combo for wc team

      1. Walsh

        I disagree 🙂

      yeah

    1. sleecc
      • 10 Years

      Yes.

  4. Huddersfield
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    When your TV is 101 without WCing , Is it better to WC in GW4---GW11 or GW11-GW18 ?

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      later

      1. Mattias
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Use your WC when you need it. You can't really plan that far ahead.

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

          i don't take much hits usually , i save transfers , i had many players rising that ppl want on WCs , i'm not in a bad position top 500k , but i wanna know what's the best time to invest money

  5. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    OK triggerlips. I had grabban as my 4.5 striker but I'll take your advice and go for watmore if you're confident. Bench fodder anyway

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Im not confident, but they all fairly rubbish have a read up on him and see what you think

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I can't remember the last time I needed all 3 subs so it isn't much of a factor really. I will have 2 playing 4.4-4.5 defenders

  6. Root

    Let's make a page full of RMT's with no replies.

    Myhill McCarthy
    Darmian Kolarov Ward Morgan Francis
    Silva Özil Depay Mahrez Abrighton

      No replies.

      • 12 Years

      lets not

    2. gdog2244
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Benching nightmare, Sakho to Kone/Ighalo and Albrighton upgraded

      1. Root
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        How does that change anything? I still have to bench a good player.

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

      interesting because i have mcarthy guzan
      darmian bellerin kolarov (targett gomez)
      sanchez hazard mata mahrez albrighton
      aguero diouf jerome

      1. Root
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Biggest difference is Özil+Kane -> Sanchez+Diouf.

        Trying to decide which one I prefer. Makes my head hurt.

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

          well u know my choice.. my decision right now is if to play jerome or Albrighton with already having mahrez sigh

    4. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Nice reverse psychology there

  7. Ruth_NZ
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Some lovely price falls happening or due for players I may well want later.

    Jerome 4.9m, Francis 4.4m, Mane 7.9m, Milner 6.9m, Bony 8.3m (only takes an injury for Aguero), Firmino 8.3m, Ki 5.3m, Ritchie 5.8m, Lens 6.4m, Hazard 11.4m/11.3m, Sigurdsson 7.4m, Fabregas 8.9m/8.8m...

    I'm sure I'll want some of those. 🙂

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Amazed on Lens, two assists in two games and still dropping.

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

      Not including Walcott?

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

        No. Not unless Giroud gets injured. Then it would be a different matter.

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

          I will monitor his situation, likely to -3 this week. He will be dirt cheap.

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

            8.7 isn't dirt cheap for a player that doesn't play. 😕

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

              But if Giroud gets injured and he was to play, then I'd say it is.

    2. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Lens?!? Didn't he get two assists in two games?

      Not surprised by the rest tbh.

      1. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        No he has not dropped. Nor hazard.

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

          "...happening or due..."

          It wasn't a long post. 😕

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      why on earth would anyone want jerome?

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        352

      2. Every Dog Has Its Day
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Shots fired.

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

        Transitioning to 4-4-2. And I'd like a bench striker that actually starts.

        If I'm lucky he will get to 4.8 by the time I need him. 🙂

    as someone ranked inside the top 100k i consider it beneath my station to fraternize with anyone whose rank is worse than my own. therefore, it is with the most inspiring humilty that i deign to correspond with any one of you woebegotten guttersnipes.
    if you too fall within these boundaries of decent society, it would be both my pleasure and my duty to invite you to regale these downtrodden troglodytes with tales of your glorious success in all avenues of life and to join me in gleeful revelry as we swap stories of their flightful, foolish fancies

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Your OR is 238k is it not? WC played GW2? Or is that not your team linked?

      1. megatronaldinho
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        ii'm not top 100k. if i were there'd be a danger of someone taking this seriously, which was a scenario i thought ripe with hilarity.....

    2. Scoredelario

      Well I'm only 1.5 mil behind you. So ner.

  9. Retrosynth
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Ok Root, I'll add to that!

    Butland (Schmeichel)

    Kompany Darmian Ward (Gomez, Richards)

    Silva Depay Cabaye Mahrez (Wanyama)

    Aguero Benteke Gomis

    1.9 in the bank for the future. Thoughts?

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      upgrade kebab

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

      Looks good, but I'd switch Cabaye with someone else. And Ward is not a good pick for me. Nor Richards.

  10. Evs
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Sanchez this week, or ayew (have Gomis) ?

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years

      Sanchez 100%.

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

      Sanchez.

    3. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Alexis.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      to play or buy?

      to play, always Sanchez

      to buy, well they're very different prices

    4. CunkOnFPL

  12. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Quick question

    Which of these leagues would you be interested in joining?

    a) A league where GW rank under 1m or less with hits is needed to survive.
    b) H2H knockout competition based on rank
    c) suggestion for something else

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

      A sounds impossible...

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I ran these sort of leagues in the past but it's quite impossible if the template fails.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Especially this season.

    2. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      B

      1. Mattias
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Me and my mates have a 'worst team' league. Minimum 95m spend and least points wins.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      B as in rank seeds the matches so nth best plays nth worst? If yes B

      C: Pairs Tag-Team league (nominate one player each week, if no pair don't nominate in a week, last weeks player is used)

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        *a pair doesn't

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I ran one with 256 players back in the day. Luck of the draw but plenty enjoyed it.
        Interesting idea for c). Been done in a way although it was the total of both teams.

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I like that because it gives the better players some sort of protection in the h2h randomness of fpl. Another idea would be two-legged head to head ties.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            2 legs could work. One season top 11K was the cutoff for 256 at GW29.

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

      C, without including captain's points?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Sounds too basic.

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

          Didn't know you want something complicated 😀

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            😛

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

      A H2H over 7 seasons 😉

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        HoF is the real guide. 😛

    5. the cromulent one
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Probably B.
      A would be too much of a crap shoot. Everyone has a bad gw (or two) where their gw rank is over 1m.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        In the old day, 1m was pretty simple. Not so much as casuals pick better teams.

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          2m?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Maybe half the entrants at the time so 1.6m or whatever.

    6. chunk
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      B sounds good

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        So many people is the main issue.

      I love him.

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Great post, can I just suggest for next time, points per 90minutes rather than points per minute?

          Cheers 🙂

          Yeap, that's probably a good idea, makes it a lot more readable/understandable. Thanks!

    3. Chelsea Dagger

      Once he is nailed for 90, yes

      next!

  14. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Right I haven't touched my WC team for about 4 days now. How is it?

    Rutland
    Kolarov Shaw Williams Huth Richards
    Sanchez Silva Payet Mahrez Hoolahan
    Aguero Gomis Diouf

    0.4 ITB.

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Pretty good, though rumor is Hoolahan may not be nailed

      1. Every Dog Has Its Day
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I'll take my chances... he seems like a good pick.

        1. Root
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Agreed, but I think Albrighton is better regardless of the double up with Mahrez.

      I know, I know - No grav or team linked so zero cred here on this site.....

      But, yeah, I look those apples.
      Heres mine. - Subs not subbed for this game week yet though.

      Myhill (McCarthy)
      Kompany / Shaw / Azpilicueta (Gomez / S Taylor)
      Ayew / Silva / Sánchez / Hoolahan (Marhrez)
      Agüero / Diouf / Gomis

  15. Jay_
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Got 20 minutes to decide

      A: Francis Yaya Diouf

      B: Targett Silva Wilson

      Would love to go 'B' but I can't with Kolarov and Gomez can I ? (Darmian Richards other defenders)

      1. Every Dog Has Its Day
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        A

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

        Don't love either grouping, but yeah getting Targett seems silly. A for me even though the best player in the groupings is in B.

      3. Chelsea Dagger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        A because more nailed players

      4. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        A
        but neither floats my boat

      5. Jay_
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks all, Silva and Yaya never rose, got one last day to ponder

      6. The Pep Revolution
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I'm filling in the final three spots of my team, which is currently:

        Schmeichel Butland
        Kompany Williams Gomez Ward Richards
        Silva Payet Mahrez ??? ???
        Agüero Gomis ???

        After that I have three options that I have come up with to fill the final spots.

        1. Sanchez, Diouf and Hoolahan. This option is to accommodate Sanchez but leaves the other two players as slightly weak.

        2. Ramsey, Benteke and Redmond. This spreads the funds better and leaves more room for flexibility for later transfers. It does assume Ramsey can give Sanchez a challenge as an alternative.

        3. Ramsey, Depay and Deeney. Weak in the forward line but stronger midfield.

        Which option would you prefer? Any other changes worth considering? All comments and opinions most welcome.

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          3 for me because it has Memphis < 3

        1. Chelsea Dagger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          1 because of Sanchez, but Hoolahan may not be nailed

        Looking at 4.5M Defenders and am not overly impressed with any. Who do people rate at this price point? I'm looking for up to three of them and currently only like Richards and maybe Francis. Thoughts?

        1. Every Dog Has Its Day
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Huth.

            • 13 Years

            I am considering him but am concerned that they aren't playing great team defense at the moment..

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Richards, Huth, Prodl, Francis

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

            Thanks. Prodl's fixtures are a little off-putting at the moment though...

              Point taken ... He rotates well with Richards imo

        I got Depay in for this week as I expect the mid-week game to give him a little confidence and then he can go against Newcastle on the next game, it's a good set up for some points.

        1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          he wasn't in my WC team til after Tuesday's blinder.
          Hope he rips Newcastle a new one

          Wait till after Rooney plays, he won't fall and Aguero won't rise before then.

        What would you rather? Keeping in mind I intend playing a 3-5-2

        A) Kone

        B) 4.5 fwd (Watmore) & Upgrade defender by 0.6?
        Gomez -> Lovern / Williams to Skertl / Targett to Richards etc

        10 years, 4 months ago

        Is Myhill/Guzan a good gk combo, at least until October? I don't see many people going with that, but they appear to rotate well.

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

          I'd never bench Myhill for Guzan regardless of fixture.

          1. Tiamani Warrior
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            reckon west brom are still moving for a new keeper or trying to ride it out till foster is back? also whats your thoughts on Mccarthy so far Walsh?

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

              I have no clue re: West Brom gk transfers, but Myhill has been good and I'm just rolling with it. Worst case you have to make a transfer later, but best case you have the best 4.5 GK in the game who you can start every week comfortably. I like McCarthy and he's been good, but Speroni could easily come back in when fit. Only Pardew knows.

              1. Tiamani Warrior
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                hmm i wonder if they do sign someone he will come in at 4.5 for a straight swap

              2. Tiamani Warrior
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                i read some thing that speroni can't kick very far so mccarthy's big boot fits a quick counter attack better?

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

                  Yeah, Speroni's distribution has always been suspect. His only strength really is as a shot stopper. He's pretty poor against set pieces too. McCarthy was for sure bought to be our keeper of the future, it's just a matter of whether the coaching staff thinks the time is now or they want to ease him in more. This is likely to be Speroni's last season with us, and he was pretty fine last season, so it could be harsh for him to lose his place due to being injured. It's a tough one, we'll see how it plays out soon.

                  1. Tiamani Warrior
                    • 12 Years
                    10 years, 4 months ago

                    was going to stick with schmeich-mcarthy but i think you've sold me on myhill-mcarthy now! one bonus point haul from myhill will pay for a keeper transfer down the line anyway

      15. ArseneAllTheWay
        • 12 Years

        Myhill (Mccarthy)
        Komp, Williams, Targett (Muniesa, Gomez)
        Silva, Sanchez, Depay, Payet, Mahrez
        Kun, Gomis (Ighalo)

        still cant find where to shed 0.5, help lads, ive been on this for waaaaay too long

            • 12 Years

        Romero (Butland)
        Kompany Darmian Shaw (Richards Gomez)
        Ayew Sanchez YYToure Mahrez (Albrighton)
        Gomis Kun(c) Diouf

        with 0.2 ITB

        I am thinking of replacing Shaw with Targett. that'll give me 1.7mil to play with. Where should I spend them? Who should I upgrade/replace?
