    Hey lads.. 2FT and not sure what to roll with:
    Bellerin is the one I've decided has to go (have Kosc) - but for who?

    A) Cresswell
    B) Williams
    C) Bellerin --> Williams + Walker --> Azpi

    Cheers lads!

      B.

      Do you have Toby? If so C is beautiful.

        unfortunately I don't... I got walker as spurs cover to be cheap but I've regretted it ever since

    Current results “prediction” for each match next GW (based on each team’s number of team goals spread market mid-point).

    Villa 1.1 Palace 1.2
    Bournemouth 1.5 West Ham 1.1
    Newcastle 0.85 Man U 1.6
    Chelsea 2 West Brom 0.65
    Man C 2.25 Everton 1.05
    Southampton 1.5 Watford 0.95
    Stoke 1.45 Norwich 0.95
    Swansea 1.6 Sunderland 0.8
    Liverpool 1.3 Arsenal 1.45
    Spurs 1.8 Leicester 1

    For example, if Villa v Palace was played, say, 100 times, the spread-betting website reckons that Villa would score 110 goals (i.e. a 1.1 average) and Palace 120 (i.e. a 1.2 average).

      This tells me that West Ham and Watford are excellent value this week.

    2. Oz lotto

      • 14 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      this is pretty clever if you're gambling on over and under goals and trying to work clean sheets

  3. DAV087
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    Need to play TWO of Bellerin(liv) Dann(avl) Cresswell(bou) Wolly(NOR) to partner Toby.

    Thinking Bellerin and Cresswell

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Definitely Wollscheid. And probably Dann.

      1. DAV087
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        That what I'm thinking

          if you were thinking this, why did you think Bell and Cress? seems odd

          1. DAV087
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 17 days ago

            Haha got confused. Thinking of benching Dann and Wollshied and playing Bellerin and Cresswell

    2. InBetweenDreams
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Wolly and Dann.

  4. Davido989

    Best mid up to 6.5m? Gotta be Alli?

    Would love Arnie but planning on Silva to KDB next week.

    1. Requiem for a Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Alli better long term option imo than Arnie anyway. But yeah I think Alli up to 6.5.

    Amazing season from Bale at wing:

    http://www.whoscored.com/Players/13812/

    Gone under the radar with MSN playing some of the best football.

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Ronaldo not doing too bad with 25 goals and 10 assists too

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        Has scored over a goal per game for Madrid in over 200 apps. So impressive.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Ronaldo and Messi have changed the way people judge players. It's all about stats, nothing else matters nowadays

      Imagine the stick Zidane would get in this day and age.

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        Ronaldo and Messi have raised the bar considerably that's all

        As for Zizou he wouldn't get stick.. in any day or age he would orchestrate a midfield with ease

    3. Test Eagles

    I have to sell Vardy and Ramsey and I have 2 FTs, so some advice please.

    Would you go Ighalo and Yaya?

    Or altenatively take a hit to bring in Kun, and shipping KDB and Ramsey?

    1. Schwarzer
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Wouldn't sell KDB with two incoming home matches, especially for a hit.

    2. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      could you get Kun by doing selling Ramsey and Vardy?

    3. Oz lotto

      get rid of Rambo for a hit to get Kun yes.

      1. Sting
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        I'd have to sell Rambo and KDB. Still worth it?

        1. Oz lotto
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 17 days ago

          hmm tough... I wouldn't want to part with KDB but I would want Kun

    4. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      I did KDB and Vardy -> Yaya and Aguero yesterday (for free) and yeah I am scared that KDB will come back to bite me but I definitely wanted Kun in and that was really the only viable option I saw

  8. Davido989

    Would like to hear some thoughts 🙂

    De Gea
    Toby Ward Williams
    Silva Ozil Mahrez Payet
    Kane Lukaku Ighalo

    McCarthy Walcott Moreno Nyom

    1FT. £2.8m.

    A) Walcott to KDB
    B) Walcott, Kane to Alli, Agueroooooo
    C) Change defence/GK
    D) Something else

    🙂

    1. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      downgrade DDG, not worth the investment imo. No love for Kun?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        B) is Kun

        I hate DDG in FPL terms. Rash that won't go

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      A) Or Moreno out for another def, but not urgent given your other defenders.

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Walcott to Alli and get Aguero on the freebie next week

    3. Requiem for a Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      IMO you need some CIty for the next forever (but especially the next few), also you have several forwards/mids who may be benched/miss this coming week/limited minutes (Lukaku, Payet, Walcott, Silva) so I feel on balance a hit may be in your best interest, as long as they are short and long term options. Defence is absolutely fine and DDG is coming into good fixtures so C is a non-option.

      I'm quite a fan of B (I did basically the same thing this week), although A is also a very good option if you'd prefer not to take a hit.

      Hope that helps.

      1. Requiem for a Raheem
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        On review, Man United's fixtures are not as good as they are in my head, but at least for this week I would deal with the mid/forward thing.

    Any other non-Ageuro owners?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years

      At the mo, yes

      But 2 plum home games

      1. Ando
        • 12 Years

        Yeah a bit of a risk but hopefully Jags can shore up that Everton backline.

    2. Cevap

    3. Esraj
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Nobody has come near 30 assists in any european league in recent history. Don't you expect any regression?

            Yeah save, but i'd play Bellerin, Mabe instead of Ward.

              • 15 Years

              Palace better on the road. Villa worst team in the league and lowest scorers. Ward just scored. Got to play him surely.

            I might still bench Lukaku rather than risk a 1 pointer.

              • 15 Years

              Why on earth would he get a 1pointer. I see people on hear condemning talk of benching mahrez but personally I think benching lukaku is even more crazy talk!

                That'll be me with the crazy talk. 😉 If he's confirmed fit obviously he's in.

                I have difficult benching issues this week and I'm not in the least convinced that the games are as straightforward as many here seem to think.

            if Kane blanks against Sunderland are people selling?

            Also would you rather lukaku at home vs Swansea or
            Ighalo at home vs Newcastle?

              If Kane blanks against sunderland I think owners will be throwing themselves off the nearest bridge.

              Maybe.

                Agree both but if you mean only one to have in your team then lukaku.

                  I'd have to disagree, I reckon Ighalo against Newcastle. Both strikers on fire, but I feel Swansea are less likely (on form of the last 4 or so) to capitulate a a double digit haul than Toon.

                    Yes just got rid of kaku for Aguero but will be bringing him back soon for either Kane or ighalo. Trying to decipher when would be best. Cheers guys.

              Kane blanked against dick advocaat's horrible sunderland in gw5. Still remember that.

            Slight benching headache because I'm sticking with Mane for this week (end of a three week punt).

            Who would you bench out of this lot?

            Alli, Mane, Silva, Payet, Arnie
            Lukaku, Kane, Aguero

            1. Sess!
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 17 days ago

              Mane as he had a bust up so might not even play.

              1. Springbank
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 17 days ago

                If not then Payet

                • 10 Years

                A new one or the late for the meeting one?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years

              Mane imo, that team is in absolute disarray.

              1. fancy111
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 17 days ago

                Yeah, I just don't want to miss out on the points in a three week punt if he scores. I might just have to suck it up and drop him to the bench.

                1. Requiem for a Raheem
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 10 Years

                  Got to take each week on it's merits, I've rarely had success chasing points/preconceptions. Payet will have limited minutes so he is the other option, so if you really want to see through the punt then Payet, but I reckon Mane.
