The last-minute August transfer window move to QPR seems to have offered Shaun Wright-Phillips a new lease of life. The winger cut a forlorn figure on the periphery of Roberto Mancini’s title-challenging Man City but, plucked from his Etihad Stadium nightmare by Neil Warnock, Wright-Phillips has been handed the chance to resurrect his career. Under the guidance of a manager with complete faith in his abilities, he is already making an impact at Loftus Road.
Just watching that '20 goals that shook the world' from the other night on ITV4.
I hate the little git now but god i loved that goal Owen scored against the Argies. Still one of my favourite goals.Open ControlsThe 2 Maradonna goals were kind of joint first 🙄

Long time since I've properly been on these forums. Good day off playing GTAIV again and sorting out my fantasy team. Wanted to buy Nani but can't afford him. I still have faith in my own team though and this weekend should* deliver some goods
*never 100% accurate.Open Controls
GTA IV was the most overhyped game ever. Great graphics, but terrible storyline and they left out so many things that were introduced in San Andreas. Most reviewers were afraid to say anything bad about it after hyping it up for so long.
Open Controls
Mate, i don't wanna be mean but I would have no confidence in that team, no Silva, Nani, Young, Nasri, Kun, Adebayor. You can't have them all but you can have 3!
Open Controls
Why on earth would you say no Adebayor?
Open Controls
would you like fries and a milkshake with those words? because you will be eating them soon
Open ControlsGood one.
He is hardly essential
2 goals against a 9 men Liverpool and he is a must? I agree he is a good pick but to say you need him is ridiculousOpen Controlssuper size me, you say? 🙂
unless you have rooney, aguero, and rvp/torres (should they find form), i doubt you will find a better (valued) striker then adebayor
but we will see come the springOpen Controls
I meant he needs some of the above to be successful inc Adebayor!
Open ControlsHow ?
He has RVP, Rooney and Suarez who are all better options than himOpen Controls
Suarez & Petrov (AVL) out
Nani & DiSanto in
simpleOpen ControlsSuarez at home to Wolves and Petrov against QPR out???
Nani away to Stoke and Di Santo against Spurs in??
What...the...f*ck?Open Controls
Guys i really need help with this1!
2 free transfers, cant decide what to change!
Ruddy (Given)
Brown De Laet A.Cole Kompany Simpson
N'Zog Silva Taarabt Sinclair Moses
Rooney Suarez Dzeko
Been going nice till now... but now i dont know should i get Dzeko out for Adebayor and save 1 trasnfer... or get Zogbia out but whom? and ive been waiting for him to score 5 weeks...Open Controls
a) Cech + P. Jones
b) de Gea + Bosingwa
c) Given + Terry
??Open ControlsGiven + Bosingwa
Open Controls
mertesacker will have nightmares on sat night, i dont know a striker in bundesliga who gets 10 cards per year
Open Controls
nice observation mate
Open Controls
Help needed:
I also have two free transfers and can't decide what to do/whether I need to make any (but I don't want to throw away a transfer):
Kenny (Vorm)
De Laet, Boswinga, Enrique, R Taylor (RJ),
Silva, Young, Arteta (Moses, N Dyer),
Rooney, Dzeko, Suarez
I am thinking maybe just use it to change Moses, as he is not doing much, but his fixtures are good and I only have 0.4m in the bank, so not many options. Or I could go for broke and change Young and Dzeko for Augero and another mid - ahhhhhh help!!Open ControlsSell De Laet and that is it
Open Controls
hey guys,
for the next few gws....Rvp or Ade?Open Controls
GW 7 Totts have ARS at home
I like Ade + the CashOpen ControlsIt depends what u r gonna do with the cash leftover. Its huge difference and this question can't be answered IMO
Open Controlswould use the extra cash to upgrade my 4.5mid to Mata
Open Controls
i cant decide between gerinho or van persie
gervinho 3 million cheaper!
van persie proven scorer but injury prone
any help please?Open ControlsI'd take a punt on Gervinho. Can score and will get assists.
Open ControlsRVP or no one. Don't waste attacker spot on Ger.
Open Controlsthanks mate i am leaning towards that myself but do u think he will be a rotation risk with arshavin and walcott that 2 of the 3 will be playing?
Open Controls
Team for this week:
Given (Vorm)
Kompany - Bosingwa - Brown - Simpson (NTaylor)
Young - Silva - Cabaye (Brunt - Dyer)
Rooney - Suarez(vc) - Dzeko(c)
2 frees, .3 bank
Comments/advice for this week? Want to keep one transfer, but wonder I should ship out Brunt for someone like Murphy? Barton? Petrov?Open ControlsKeep Brunt u r benching him anyway. I would propose only one transfer and save the second one. Great team. I would sell Given and bring Kenny. Great rotation with Vorm and QPR are gonna be good defensively.
Open ControlsDamn, u were faster mate.
Open Controls
Lose Brunt.
Open Controls
I haven't see it for a while so I would love to start the party 😆
Please RMT. Weaknesses, strong sides, anything to change and captain.
Given (Vorm)
Bos, S.Taylor, Simpson, (Briggs, Taylor - Swansea)
Silva, Young, Walcott, Brunt, (Dyer)
Rooney, Suarez, Dzeko.
Cheers,Open ControlsComments are appreciated
Open ControlsOne more week
Open Controls
Weakness - Doubling up on Newcastle, Briggs, BRUNT!
Strengths - Forward line and mid.
Captain - Rooney.Open ControlsGood that Walcott isn't my weakness
Open Controls
Given vorm isn’t the best keeper combo out there
Open Controls
Suarez, but if u can have them both. Suarez isn't playing Europe and isn't playing at Old Traford
Open Controls
How's everyone?
Thoughts on time to WC? I'm thinking I may just hold onto mine for a while and make the best of double gameweeks.
Another 4 pt hit this week.
Aguero (c) this week.Open ControlsHe might be rested u know? Also City lost something like 5 in a row from Eve, or even more
Open ControlsYour team looks in good shape, save the wildcard for when you really need it. How did you get Aguero in?
Open ControlsSuch kneejerking 😉
Good moves though.Open ControlsBeside Faurlin all bad moves IMO
Open ControlsThat's the one i would say is the weakest move. Aguero will outscore Dzeko. Adebayor will score more goals then Suarez.
Open ControlsFixtures and form both in favor of Aguero and Adebayor. Price rises are nice too.
Open ControlsWhat do you two think of Mata? Wating to bring him in but not sure who for, it's either Nasri, Walcott or Young.
Open Controlswanting*
Open ControlsI had a choice between:
Young > Mata
Or
Jarvis > Faurlin
Went with the latter to see if I could get the price rise on Young.Open ControlsYou've got Rooney though so you'll be covered, Young is my only Utd coverage at the moment. Actually tempted to lose Nasri for Mata.
Open Controls
dont u see Suarez doing well vs Wolves?
Open Controls
Regarding the wildcard that's what I'm doing.
I just feel that I'd be chasing the 'perfect' team with a wildcard now, and that changes week in week out. Last year I gained a lot of points by using the wildcard for a double week.
That said, an 8 pt hit to bring in Silva and Aguero this week. My first 8pt hit in 2 years. A massive kneejerk, but, well, sod it!
Aguero(C) this week for me too.Open Controls
Regarding your name, let's just say I've had a top 100 FPL finish. Why would I want to join your league? Is there a prize or anything?
Open Controls
hi guys!
is it worth taking a hit to make any more subs this week?
krul (vorm)
bosingwa, enrique, RTyaylor (de Laet, Ward)
Silva, Young, Jarvis, Brunt (Dyer)
Suarez(c), Rooney, Dzeko
I'm planning on bringing in Agbonlahor & Nani in for Brunt/Jarvis & Suarez next week (depending on performances this week).
cheers!Open Controls
Anyone seen this story on Jovanovic. 5yr ban!! That would be ridiculous
Open Controls
a 5 year ban for "aiming an imaginary machine gun at rival fans". That is absolutely ridiculous.
Open Controlslooked like an imaginary super soaker to me... odd
Open Controls
I only saw the link to a Sun story on here. So I wouldn't be surprised if the 5 years mentioned is nothing more than tabloid conjecture.
TBH though, I haven't looked out for the story.Open Controls
Given, Vorm
Smalling, Taylor R, Jose Enrique, Bosingwa, De Laet
Silva, Jarvis, Mata, Dyer, Taarabt
Dzeko, Rooney, Suarez
2 frees, 1m bank
A) Jarvis > Cabaye
B) Smalling & Jarvis > Bramble/Brown & Arteta
C) Jarvis & Suarez > Nani & Sturridge
D) Something else hmmm..
May do A then with my 2 free next gwk get Nani & Sturridge inOpen Controls
From those options A or B
But if I were you would be looking to transfer R Taylor(rotation risk)!Open Controls
Any transfers needed? Used freebie on jarvis to swp.
Krul (vorm)
Simpson Kompany brown (de laet, ward)
Silva Walcott brunt swp (dyer)
Rvp Rooney dzekoOpen Controls
What's the consensus on Moses? Was going to ditch him but Rodallega's injury may boost his returns (can hardly make them worse). Stick or twist?
Open Controls
Stick for now.
Open Controls
Suggestions?
Given. Vorm
Bos. Kompany. De laet. Brown. Simpson
Silva. Walcott. Jarvis. Moses. Sinclair
Rooney. Suarez. Dzeko
.9m in bank
1 free transfer
Was thinking of doing Walcott->Nani?Open ControlsWalcott at home to Bolton, Nani away to Stoke...in the exact same situation and no way am i doing it this week considering fixtures. Will be doing it next week however
Open Controls
Nani will be up to 10 by next week and you'll be 0.1 short
I'd do it nowOpen Controlshow? Nani is at 21% to rise, he wont be 10 by the end of the GW, do the transfer early next week if you need to. Not this week...actually do it I dont care
Open Controls
Sorry to ask again but is...
A.Cole > Bosingwa worth a 4 point hit to allow me to upgrade Osman for Silva?
As somebody suggested, a 4 point hit to get in a defender from the same team seems a little needless. I just need to free up 0.5 somewhere. Rest of my defence is Brown, Simpson, Kompany and Wilkinson... all of which seem worth keeping.Open ControlsAre you doing Obertan > Silva this week, meaning its an 8 point hit or are you upgrading Obertan next week or is it Bosingwa and Silva in for a 4 point hit or what?
Bosingwa > Cole for a 4 point hit to upgrade Obertan makes no sense!Open Controls
Do not wait in anticipation for players to perform. By the time your player starts performing, all other fantasy managers would be way ahead of you. Present form and fixtures are the way to go. Do not be deceived by comments to hold on to any player. Chop and change wisely.
Open ControlsYoda?
Open Controls
Sensible advice. I don't suppose some will listen. (read)
Open ControlsSo you are suggesting sell Suarez ?
No thanks..Open Controls
Why all the love for Cabaye? With only 1 assist to his name and an unremarkable ict threat rating. Would anyone rate him above, say, O'Hara?
Open Controls
Hey guys, need some help. I've had an absolutely shocking start to the season so I'm very tempted to WC this week, although I do have two free transfers if I can use them instead. Any thoughts?
Given
Cahill Kompany Riise
Ramsey Brunt Dempsey Silva
Crouch Suarez Van Persie
Al-Habsi Tiote Simpson AlcarazOpen Controls
alright apologies for askin this again but which front 3 is likely to fetch me more???
ROONEY/RVP/DZEKO
OR
AGUERO/RVP/SUAREZ
HELPOpen ControlsUnfortunately Rohan your guess is as good as anyone elses,either look to have good potential points,and neither will be too far adrift long term imo.
Open Controls
Right now I have Dzeko and Tchoyi (massive punt which failed spectacularly), but I'm concerned about not having enough 90min men...
Looking at the coming fixtures I can't decide whether the bring in Adam & Best or Petrov(BOL)& Adebayor with my two freebies...
Any suggestions on this? ThxOpen Controls

young out mata in
rooney out aguero in
dzeko out suarez in..
8 point hit.. worthed??? if no, which ones are??Open Controls
NO NO NO
Keep Rooney/Young until GW8 (you'll kick yourself not having those two against Norwich)
Dzeko -> Adebayor/Suarez is ok if you can afford Suarez, but pretty sideways.Open Controls
Wow. Just wow. I think we'll leave it as a simple 'no, not worth it'.
Open Controls
I wouldn't. The only one I can see making sense in the long-run is Dzeko to Suarez. Taking Rooney and Young out with their form seems very unnecessary.
Open Controls
how big is the loss of Agger to LIV's defense? does Jose Enrique's value take a hit as far as clean sheets go?
and when Vidic comes back, how are Jones and Smalling affected, if at all? MUN has allowed the most shots so far this year, not liking their clean sheet potential at the moment ...Open Controls
depends really. liverpool were a stupid mistake from a local boy each week away from 4 clean sheets in their first 4 games. so if they iron out flanagan and carragher those mistakes then they'll be stronger but the past shows that in general they're weaker without agger, also a more direct side without agger
