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.

    Which do you prefer?

    A) Kane and Ramsey
    or
    B) Diouf and Sanchez

    Thanks.

    1. Test Eagles

      B

        Thanks.

    2. RoyaleBlue

      what is your forward line and mf?

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

        It will probably be:

        Yaya-Ayew-Mahrez-4.5-Ramsey/Sanchez
        Aguero-Benteke-Diouf/Kane

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

          definitely B then

      I suppose it has to be B). Purely on the fact it looks like actual WC players. A) is just a few from the 'failed' GW1 template.

      1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Lol, so because Kane and Ramsey haven't returned points yet it means they are good fantasy players anymore?

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          You missed a slight dig with some subtle sarcasm there. The quotation marks were a sign.

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

        That's why I'm tempted - I want some differential from the WC template and those players have the potential to deliver even if they haven't done it so far.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          If you chose to WC then yeah I figured you would want to differentiate yourself from the GW1 template.

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

            It's the Toyota Prius of Wildcard lineups!

              • 14 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              You're just trying to differentiate from other WC teams by getting GW1 template players in now aren't you 😉

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

                Yep, I'll storm the rankings as no one will ever expect it! 🙂

  2. Mr.Bojangoals
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Yoshida started again in a full strength Saints XI. Encouraging suggestion that Koeman will continue to give this 4.5 man a starting go?

    2. Shifty

      think it was more of the case of Soares being rested.

  3. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Acqua what team have you concocted with that back line?

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

      Alexis, Silva, Payet, Mahrez, Westwood
      Aggy, Kane, Gomis

      can also swap Payet+ Kane for Hazard+Wilson if I wanted.

    2. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Just tinkering with some really top heavy ones atm... think its time for bed.

    1. Chef Ramsey
      • 12 Years

        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I'm sure this beats that team :p

        Schmeichel ( McCarthy )
        Gomez Shaw Bassong Francis Targett
        Sanchez Hazard Silva Ayew Mahrez
        Wilson Kun Ighalo

      7. Root
        • 14 Years

        Ighalo -> Costa and you're set.

    3. Mayor of Flair
      • 11 Years

      All but Silva

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Going with Yaya?

    4. HammersXI
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I have one with Sanchez Kun Haz Rooney so yes it's very possible tbh

      1. HammersXI
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        You just need to see my team remove Rooney to a 5.5 striker and upgrade one of my MF players to Silva and there you go!

    5. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I've got:

      Myhill - McCarthy

      Shaw - Williams - Muniesa - Richards - Targett

      Hazard - Sanchez - Silva - Mahrez - Hoolahan

      Aguero - Diouf - Wilson

      I like it 🙂

  5. Delimiester
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Guys please RMT already pushed my panicked button after back to back disaster GW

    GW3 (3-5-2)
    Fabianski (Schme)
    Darmian / William / Kompany / (Gomez) / (Targett)
    Hazard / Depay / Ayew / Cabaye / Mahrez
    Kun / Sakho / (Diouf)

    Plan GW 4

    Hazard > Silva (if he didn't perform this weekend)

    Thanks for the help guys!

    1. Mayor of Flair
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      If you're playing 3-5-2 you need two lethal forwards and you've only got one

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

        Thought of getting Gomis but worried about having 3 Swans in the same lake

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

          Sorry should be I already have 3 swans swimming in the same lake..cheers

          1. Mayor of Flair
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Who would be likely to be second top points scorer for forward by the end of the season? Possibly Kane? It was easier having Suarez and RVP as the front two, last time I've done it that way.

  6. Mayor of Flair
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    So this is what we're dealing with......

    Ruddy Rudd
    Azpi Mert Clyne (S Taylor Smith - my tip for best 4.0 defender for the season)
    Sanchez Mahrez Lens Hazard (Anya - my tip for best 4.5 midfeilder)
    Aguero Pelle Deeney

    Where is it likely to all blow up in my face?

    Thanks

    1. Chef Ramsey
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      When Chelsea get smashed by West Brom and Mourinho immediately sells Hazard to Accrington Stanley for £500k

      1. Mayor of Flair
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Hmm, that would be a head scratcher alright

  7. Chef Ramsey
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    are price rises happening tonight? I'm trying to take advantage of a Yaya double rise with my WC before switching him for depay

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

      Already happened, check stickies.

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

      One left before the deadline.

      1. Chef Ramsey
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        also I'm not actually sure i should be getting rid of yaya until memphis proves himself in the league. thoughts?

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

          I have neither. Good chance vs Newcastle.

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

      yaya a better shout than depay, imo

    4. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      great chance against newcastle but then still a keeper for the rest of their tougher fixtures coming up? its too early to say
      depending on the other city cover you have you need at least 2 city players from the next gw onwards

  8. Francescoli
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Earlier this week, i did Cedric ---> Kolorov and Benteke --> Aguero for a -4 hit.

    Good to Go?

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

      Not sure about captaining Hazard, but otherwise I like it.

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

        i'm giving him two weeks to prove himself. if he fails, then yaya comes in and i can upgrade sakho or gomis.

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

          I don't have a problem with him in there, I'm just not sure I would put the armband on him. Having said that, putting the armband on Kompany can propel you into the top 1000 at the minute so maybe it's a genius move! 😀

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

            cheers diva. it's a big risk. i keep looking at doosra's table and keep thinking i'm mad. however, stats only reflect his past two games and chelsea are bound to bounce back hard. maureen will have no more of these substandard performances. my hunch is that hazard is the player we'll all be talking about next week.

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

              You could be right. I'm also suggesting a GW1 retro move in my post above, but I don't think Ryan's taking me seriously!

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

                ha i saw that. i think it's inspired. run with it!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

          I'm hoping for a repeat of the score last time we played Chelsea. Hazard is a brave move!

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      lovely. I'm captaining Haz too

  9. Chef Ramsey
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    WC RMT and help

    Fabianski (McCarthy)
    Darmian Gomez Huth (Richards 4.0)
    Sanchez Silva [Yaya/Memphis] Payet Mahrez
    Aguero Gomis (Kone)

    0 ITB

    Already have Aguero and Silva, should I triple up on City by adding Yaya or get Memphis?

    Also, any recommendations on a 4.0 defender?

    1. ManofKent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      No decent 4m defenders - you'll be squandering a bench spot.

      I prefer Yaya to Memphis, just because of the team around him and fixtures

  10. HammersXI
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Out of these players who should I captain?

    A) Rooney
    B) Aguero
    C) Hazard
    D) Alexis
    E) Ayew
    F) Mahrez

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      You have all four big hitters? 😯

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

        you can hardly call rooney a big hitter, right now.

        1. HammersXI
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          For that price he is a big hitter, though his form is nowhere near it. Might just sell Rooney and Westwood for Silva and Ighalo next week

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

        It's possible 🙂 WC last week to get that team 🙂

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard.. He's up to prove doubters wrong and get Chelsea back on track.

      1. ManofKent
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        remember the score card last time Chelsea played WBA

        1. HammersXI
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah exactly.. Would love to captain Hazard but the last time I did he got 2 points. Plus Chelsea doesn't look convincing this season

        2. El-Kloppico
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          So what? Do you think WestBrom will be able to repeat the feat?
          They are much more fragile in defense this time around and I don't think any team will be able to stop Chelsea this week, apart from M.City maybe. They've got a statement to make, else their season is gone before it even gets started

          1. HammersXI
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            I don't think they repeat that feat.. But Chelsea is playing away and Pulis teams are known for their defensive game.

            Yeah I totally agree with the your points. It's really a toss up between Aguero and hazard this week. Have to keep faith in the big hitters. It amazes me to see how little Hazard all these WC teams are having which is a good thing as a hazard owner

          2. ManofKent
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            I just don't see it as an easy victory for Chelsea - they haven't won at the Hawthorns in about three years. With Chelsea's current form Hazard as captain against a team they historically struggle with seems a big gamble.

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

          Don't care.

    3. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Kun for me. Boring, but safe.

      1. HammersXI
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah leaning towards it. Was on Rooney the whole week but his UCL display did nothing to convince me to give him another chance as captain. So far my captains has shined amazingly to give me 2 and 2..

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

      Your defense must be dead.

      I suggest you to captain Rooney.

      1. HammersXI
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        It doesn't look too bad for now.. But yeah was all set on Rooney but his display is nowhere near convincing to give him another chance at captaincy. Though it's Newcastle and they're never going to keep a CS

        Schmeichel McCarthy
        Shaw Francis Gomez Bassong Targett

        Coz i had Mings fron the start.

    Please RMT for this coming GW

    Butland

    1. Rolls-Royce

      Wilson? Milner? Rest is Ok

  13. SpaceCadet

    Quite happy with this new and slightly ballsy wc team. Thoughts?

    courtois
    kola shaw Richards

    kun costa

    McCarthy kone morgan gomez

    1. Chef Ramsey
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      quite like it but personally i'd stay away from courtois considering the way chelsea's defense is playing

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

      like the shelvey pick

    3. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Kouyate plays too deep for my taste. Costa is too much for what he provides.

  15. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Nabil - Hazard(c) eh? Why?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Got to push up the table after a terrible start. This season I plan to play wild because I know I won't repeat last season performance.

      otoh I think he has the chance to do well. Kun is soo next week

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

        Yea have a bad feeling about Murphy's Law striking the GW3 wildcarders. I do reckon Chelsea will bounce back in a big way - big signal of intent with the recent transfers hence kept Hazard. But not sure if I would (c) him! VC atm for what it's worth.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Go Kun if you want to play it safe. Haz if you're in for a wild celebration 😉

          1. HammersXI
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            I'm exactly in the same position as you. Thinking of either hazard or Aguero since I'm never going to get back to last season position ever again...

            Is it too risky to make such a captaincy move now?

            1. NABIL - FPL otai
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Yep it's risky.

              Big risk, big reward they say. Kun (c) this week is too safe for my liking. And I won;t be surprised if he fails to deliver - EVE might want to be tight again.

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

            With 66 points after 2 GWs, I could do with something wild.

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

        Kun from next week onwards. I agree, Haz in a revved up Chelsea team playing at West Brom is a better shout than Kun at Goodison imo.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Exactly my thinking.

          Haz will be like "Hey Pedro, lemme show you who's the boss here".

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

            Hey Eden , i'm not looking to be a boss , i'm a free bird and i'll score more than Depay

          2. ManofKent
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Chelsea haven't won at the Hawthorns in three years...

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

              due then.

              last seasons game there was a dead rubber. wouldnt read too much into this.

            2. NABIL - FPL otai
              • 13 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              hate to say it but CHe's due then

  16. dush64
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    OK, second try. I now have a front 8 because I can't decide who to drop! Will bench Deeney for now (tough fixtures), and downgrade whichever mid I get bored of quickest, to bolster the defence.

    Myland
    Lolarov Francis Gomez Richards Targett
    Silva Sanchez Payet Ayew Mahrez
    Kun Pelle Deeney

    Any thoughts? Thanks!

    1. Mayor of Flair
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Don't think Deeney is far from breaking the ice

      1. dush64
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed. Just has SOT mci to navigate, and I'll start playing him every week!

  17. Chef Ramsey
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Start Gomez or Richards this week>

    1. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Richards.

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      So Gomez is playing Arsenal
      And Richards is playing Crystal Palace

      Hmmm, is it not obvious?

      1. Chef Ramsey
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks everyone, Richards it is
        But I'll have to live with benching a Gomez brace tbh

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          You're not being confused with Gomis are you? Gomez is a defender.

          1. Chef Ramsey
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Nope, although I have Gomis as well

            1. Ryan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              Gomez won't get a brace. You can relax

              1. Chef Ramsey
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                Murphy's law
                but don't worry, Richards starts

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

      Richards

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Rich

  18. goodday there mate

    Guys need some help - no FT, used to get Kun. My defence is shite ... 0.8 ITB what to do -4? Cheers

    Pants
    PVA Targett Bacuna Matata

  19. waputs101
    • 10 Years

    just curious what formation u guys using, 3-4-3, 3-5-2, 4-4-2?

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

      Most likely 4-4-2, may end up playing Arnautovic over Deeney though.

    2. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Setting up like Mourinho with a 1-0 lead

      Playing my all out defence chip this week for a 6-3-1

  20. Bggz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    OK WC done no more tinkering. I'm here to be rated...

    Lloris - (McCarthy)
    Darmian - Azpilicueta - Martin - (Williams) - (Gomez)
    Sanchez - Payet - Silva - Mahrez - (Westwood)
    Sakho - Aguero - Gomis

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      standard WC mid. standard WC attack.

      Team is good. Downgrade Azpi and play Williams

      1. Bggz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        i cant bring myself to ditch all my chelsea players especially with wba and palace coming up

        williams keeps coming in and out

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          CHE look shaky at the back. If you wan't to keep then it's Hazard.

          Yep, can't have em all. I understand the Sanchez & Silva temptation. If I were you Azpi & Silva -> Kolarov & Haz

  21. A-VB
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I'm having an uncanny feeling that this Diouf bandwagon created in FFS will probably turn out to like last season's Tadic one.

    Shhhhhh...anyone else agrees ?

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      It reminds me of N'Doye actually. Big week this weekend, then nothing.

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

      Tadic did have the 23 pointer GW if it helps :p

  22. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    How likey is Griezmann to Man Utd?

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

      Bout the same as Benzema to Arsenal

  23. TK74
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Targett against Watford or Gomez against Arsenal?

    1. HammersXI
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Targett all day long

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      T

  24. Chef Ramsey
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Starting 2 of Gomez, Richards, Huth this week
    Which 2?
    (I realize I asked a very similar question earlier but I forgot about Huth)

    1. Chef Ramsey
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      And it seems as though it's now between. Gomez and Huth

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

        surely its the same answer. why would you pick gomez playing arsenal?

        1. Chef Ramsey
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Just I'm always nervous about Arsenal
          But I am going to start Richards and Huth

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

            you're talking about a Liverpool defender. why would you be nervous about Arsenal's attack?

            1. Chef Ramsey
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              I have a bad feeling about this game
              However, common sense prevails, Gomez will be benched

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Don't see LFC ending this weeks game with a CS though. I'm benching Clyne.
      I would have gone for Huth and Richards

  25. Francescoli
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I already miss Friday night games...

  26. Areid13
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    GTG? Thoughts are much appreciated

    Butland
    Azpi Huth Cedric
    Silva Ayew Memphis Mahrez
    Kun Rooney Deeney

    Kasper Mings Coates Ritchie

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Put Ritchie as first sub

      1. Areid13
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I will. Is everything else good?

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah its good

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Richie in for Deeney IMO

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

        +1. I wish I could fit him in my WC team.

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

      Play Ritchie

  27. Geordienufc1
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I can't decide between the Ayew's and the Payet's, the Diouf's and the Gomis of this world'.

    So would leaving 1.5 itb with the following WC team, for application wherever necessary, be a decent strategy?

    Butland - McCarthy
    Kompany - Darmian - Morgan - Richards - Francis (if 4.4)
    Sanchez - Silva - Ayew - Mahrez - Westwood
    Kun - Gomis - Sakho

    Haven't really thought too much about my set of 4.5 defenders yet.

    Swansea, to me, have the best fixture this week in Sunderland, hence the double up.

    Options for the 1.5 include:
    1) Upgrading McCarthy
    2) Upgrading Gomis to Tekkers
    3) Upgrading Ayew to Depay, or any other exploding 8.5 mid

    Time to just give it a rest and hope for the best?

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

      yeah i like the idea of saving a bit of cash in the bank to see what kind of players rise to the top, following a big wild card week.

      1. Geordienufc1
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks Jeanz, appreciate it.

  28. Test Eagles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    With regards to transfer windows, I've never understood why the don't make the deadline cut before the season starts ... it must be very frustrating for managers and players to have this hanging over their heads as they commence a season ... ridiculous set-up!!

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      That's why you've got Wildcards.
      1 to be used after summer window and 1 after winter window.

    2. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Double edged sword. Managers have the opportunity to panic buy if results don't look good early on

  29. asianbeast
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    The squad looks like this:

    Courtois (Butland)
    Shaw, Kolarov, Williams (Oxford, Richards)
    Sanchez, Silva, Payet, Hoolahan (Arnautovic)
    Gomis, Aguero, Deeney

    0.4 in bank

    1) Deeney over Arnautovic? (So'ton has a wildly porous back line recently)
    2) How are you all feeling about Courtois?

  30. Boo Ya Ka Sha
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    a)

    Sanchez / Silva / Depay / Mahrez / Westwood
    Aguero / Gomis / Diouf

    Sanchez / Silva / Payet / Mahrez / Chadli
    Aguero / Gomis / Ighalo
