          Oh I thought if it was something interesting, it would've made a transfer headache a lot easier

            The whole article is interesting tbh.

      Will take more than one game to convince me he's a good option at that price.

    Johnny Evans 75% chance of playing? When did this happen?

    Burnley knocked out of League Cup by Accrington Stanley. First proper upset.

      Might do the same

  5. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
    • 15 Years

    Wilson is -95.5 on Fpl Stats probability of him dropping ?

    1. ChelseaKTBFF
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      95.5%

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Don't be sensible.

    2. BadgersBoys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Can't see him dropping tonight.

  6. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 5 months ago

    Fear from price drop made me do 3 transfers this week for a hit:
    1) Tadic to Redmond
    2) Gray to Benteke
    3) Firmino to Barkley (-4)

    A) This will cost me dearly
    B) It won't matter much
    C) It will pay off

    1. ChelseaKTBFF
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No benteke move, do 1+3 for free

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'd have Firmino before barkley without a shadow of doubt

    4. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B or C - peckers up

    5. Backup Dancer

      B

    6. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Somewhere between A and B

  7. tm245

    My captain is featured, nice.

  8. meltedman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    If anyone knows, at least a day too early here but....

    When is Man City's press conference?

    I might just get Sterling tonight for Alli, if it's on a Friday. Not looking like rising tonight but it's close enough to be worried about 0.1 slipping away.

  9. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is Firmino definitely dropping tonight?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not definitely but probably.

    2. Elijah's Wood
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Seems that way, over -100% on fplstats

      1. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Hope not already brought him in haha, hopefully he proves the people who ditched him wrong

        1. Elijah's Wood
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Ouch, bad time to bring in lol. Im sure Liverpool will kick into gear after a disapointing trip to Burnley but i dont want to suffer the drop in TV

  10. Vatroslav
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Have 2FT, what should I do with my front 8?

    Hazard Eriksen Capoue Townsend Redmond
    Aguero Ibra Gray

    0.0itb

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      get an EVE player?

      1. Vatroslav
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'm really keen on Bolasie, but I don't think he's nailed on. Eriksen a better option than Barkley imo

    2. ChelseaKTBFF
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Get an EVE defender

      1. Vatroslav
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Got Williams

  11. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What's the lowest TV can get? I reckon by now someone could be on 90m

    1. ChelseaKTBFF
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Well he'd have to be pretty stupid to get that

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Requires dedication. Similar concept to highest TV teams

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      You could lose over 1 million a day recently.

    3. Tatty Bojangles
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm aiming for £0.0m and a £3.6m rank by GW38.

    4. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I calculate about 65m is the lowest TV possible.
      7x4m (after drops)
      9x4.5m (after drops)

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Wrong.

  12. Elijah's Wood
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Best Firmino replacement as he's dropping tonight:

    A) Barkley/Miralles
    B) Pogba
    C) Mane
    D) Sterling/Nolito
    E) Ozil
    F) Mahrez

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      E

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks Bane, looked lively for the few minutes he played

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      tough lot, anyone would be a good pick

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Haha i know, BUT WHO?!

        Dont get the Barkley love, blows too hot and cold but got off to a great start last year as did Lukaku.

        Ozil looked good but slowly being swayed by Nolito, but then that's 3 City players

        1. Gooner Kebab
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Ozil for me, but i'm probably biased.

    3. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 5 months ago

        B or E for me.

        1. Elijah's Wood
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Thanks Worzel, surprised there's not more Everton love on this page actually, seems to be the flavour of the week.

      • Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'm going B. Can't resist the hype/stats anymore. Everything points in his direction: form, increasing attacking role, stats, fixtures, incoming bandwagon, positive energy, Zlatan partnership etc.

        1. Elijah's Wood
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I do kind of feel the same way as the Scouts did by passing his enthusiasm and roaming rights to adrenaline and trying to prove himself at OT. He did look really incredible though.

          1. Hurricane Gilbert
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            And why wouldn't he build on from that performance? He is purely class, that Soton-performance was not a one-off adrenaline induced thing.

            1. Elijah's Wood
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Soton were awful defensively in the second half, but i do agree. Love watching him play, even for France he got points. Thanks HG! Probably my transfer.

        Depends on your budget

        1. Elijah's Wood
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Got £9.5m to spend

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Mane or Ozil

            1. Elijah's Wood
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Thanks Kitchen

      • tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        E and F if you have the cash, otherwise B.

        1. Elijah's Wood
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Lots of Pogba love, has the member's article swayed opinions perhaps? :p

          1. tm245
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Must be the picture.

            Many wearing red, white and black blinkers. Let's wait until he scores some decent fantasy points before slathering.

      • Spot on no bother
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sterling

    4. Flynny
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Got 1.4m and one ft.....but plan on saving it until after int break...

      Will probably want benteke for suspended gray.

      Am I good to go here or anything urgent?

      Amat coming in should friend be unfit....

      Foster (jaku )
      Valencia stones friend (amat kone)
      Hazard firmino lamela ramirez (capoue )
      Kun ibra gray

      Thanks

      1. ChelseaKTBFF
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Firmino is dropping, friend is apparently injured.

        1. Flynny
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Think I am willing to take the firmino drop....

          Or is that a seriously bad move...

          Could get ozil but think makes sense to keep 2 till after int break???

          1. ChelseaKTBFF
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            You could WC early in the break

    5. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Once the prices have started to change, I really don't think a 0.1m rise or fall is that big a deal. If you are priced out of someone because of the drop then theoretically you are priced into the bracket of someone who is on the rise, likely because they are doing well.

    6. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Swap Eriksen for Barkley or stick? I have two free transfers burning a hole in my pocket

      1. ChelseaKTBFF
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        It is certainly the flavour of the week

      2. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        For a free transfer it makes sense. I'm contemplating for a hit but that's a bit reckless

    7. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Cool analysis about Shaw. Best weekly article on this site, for sure.

    8. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years

      Lucas Perez to Arsenal might really be happening..

    9. Thunder Warrior
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      How long is Manone ruled out?

    10. Pigsinblankets
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Foster
      Fuchs Valencia Stones Friend
      Hazard Redmond Lamela Firmino
      Aguero Zlatan Gray

      A) Firmino -> Barkley +1FT
      B) Firmino + Gray -> Coutinho + Negredo
      C) Firmino + Fuchs/Stones -> Mane + Someone
      D) None of the above

      1. Norman Conquest
        • 12 Years

        just do firm to barks this week wait until after internationals and see who survives before changing anyone else

      Mkhi at 9.2 after tonight could be interesting

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Only if he starts getting some game time soon

      2. Norman Conquest
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        im itching for him to play regularly looks class he will be cheap as chips by the time mou gets round to giving him a decent run

      3. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        If he plays more than 20 mins it will. Bizarre treatment by Moaninho

        1. Norman Conquest
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          he will split his squad into 2 teams once the cup games kick in so we will see then where he prefers him

      4. BabyB
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Only if he plays

      5. Gooner Kebab
        • 13 Years

        who he replacing from the starting 11? mata?

        1. Norman Conquest
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          more than likely

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          A young lad called Gorre loaned from Swansea to Northampton who scored the winning penalty against WBA was quoted saying he wanted Man U next !

    13. Tiamani Warrior
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm still optimistic that Gray can score more than Negredo over the season but its very frustrating to see Negredo price rocketing and Gray to potentially fall if suspended over the Int Break

      1. Mull
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Some of us had Carroll last week.

      2. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I sold Gray over Negredo in order to get Ibra, so I'm happy

      3. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Let him rise, he'll only fall again lol

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          When he looks like falling owners can sell and buy Gray and pocket the difference 😉

      4. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        What if Negredo outscores Gray over the season?

    14. MFPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Seeing that Firmino is close to dropping, it may be time to move him on, but who for?
      A) Townsend
      B) Sterling (already have Aguero)
      C) Antonio
      D) Any other suggestion

      1. Pigsinblankets
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Barkley? Coutinho?

        1. MFPL
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Have Barkley, not sure about Coutinho.
          Thank you for the suggestions though!

        Stuani benched tonight. Bodes well for weekend although Adomah wasn't there.

        Selling Firmino tonight for a FT. Who to replace him?

        A) Barkley
        B) Pogba
        C) Someone else

            Townsend, okay/good underlying stats and will benefit from Benteke. Spare cash could be used for a Lukaku move the week after...

          Over the short term and possible price rises without using WC next couple weeks. Who is my best option to replace Pieters with?

            Stones to fall soon, attacking stats are poor too for a 'footballing CH'

          Ramirez (wba) or Capoue (ARS) for this week?
