Regrets come hand-in-hand with Fantasy Football – if you get through the season without one, you’re either extremely fortunate or you just don’t care enough. Either way, you’re unlikely to be reading this.

Most of us of come to terms with them, have learnt to ride them out and plough on regardless but, even I’ve got to admit, Alexis Sanchez’ Gameweek 14 stung a bit.

Thankfully, with Sergio Aguero harbouring his own regrets, my path to sheepishly welcome Sanchez back into the fold is signposted rather clearly.

The Sanchez wounds and the Aguero fall-out dominate this week’s ScoutCast, which also marks a debut for moderator and long-time community member AZ. He steps in with Granville tangled in political red tape to join Jonty, Andy and myself for a lengthy and lively episode.

We gripe about the volatile market, quiver in fear at the idea of the “Titan teams” and, of course, preview the weekend with a scattering of statistics, speculation and pure guesswork.

This episode of the ScoutCast was first beamed live via our YouTube channel on Wednesday night. Be sure to subscribe to get notice of future live episodes.

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

    Captain 1:
    Sanchez
    Hazard
    Firmino
    Defoe

      haz

    2. Mini Mane Mo

      YMA says Firmino...FFS says Sanchez...Mike Dean says Haz...i'll go with Haz

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sanchez

    3. OzilFozzil

      Sanchez

  2. Mini Mane Mo

    like the dead zone here now....would you stick to 3-4-3 or have players which will enable you to play 3-5-2 or even 4 defenders?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I am finding it hard to get a decent team with 3-5-2 so will prob stick with 3-4-3. All the points are with mids and fwds so wouldn't bother going 4 at the back.

      1. Mini Mane Mo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        thought u were advocating for Anichebe...can you go 3-5-2 with him

        1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I had a look but my 4th and 5th mids would be puss.

          Sanchez / Hazard / Firmino / Can / 6.4
          Costa / Kane

          1. Mini Mane Mo
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            what's your defence

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Flexibility is a good thing.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And how do you get flexibility?

        1. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          A decent 8th attacker ala anichebe or can.

          1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            That's true but then you need to decide who to play which can backfire.

            1. Lateriser 12
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Got to live with it. Especially during December. I can't afford it atm.

            2. Mini Mane Mo
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              short term anichebe can be rotate with can

          2. Eze Really?
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            2 schools of thought as most don't like points sitting on the bench A La Capoue. Getting good defenders is often a profitable rotation route.

  3. Petr Chec Yourself
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Nacho or Origi >Austin for a hit

    or should i just play one of Phillips or Amat this gameweek for no hit

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd play Philips, no hit

    2. Zebras
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Austin now flagged with injury which is well annoying

  4. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Loads considering Payet, some Antonio and Carroll. But how come no one is considering Ayew?

    1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not nailed

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Interesting, they need goals and he was talked about a lot before his injury.

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Been playing like poo.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hasn't played much.

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          OK. But you also asked why no one is considering him. He isn't playing much, because he's playing like poo. And he isn't being considered because he isn't playing much. They are all sort of tied together, no?

    3. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No serious player would be considering any of them.

  5. FortunesAlwaysHiding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who to captain from these 3 for a draft league side?

    A-Alonso (WBA)
    B-Anichebe (swa)
    C-Kane (mun)

    Thanks

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      C is safe. B could pay off.

      1. Speédy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        C

  6. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    With Austin injured,would long come back,or Redmond would start false nine???

    1. Zareos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Based on the sub last night, long would come in.

  7. 50pipsDaily
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    On wc, Firminho out for Lallana to afford Nacho instead of Anichebe. So,

    A) Firminho + Anichebe
    B) Lallana + Iheanacho

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Firm and Anichebe

  8. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone looking to bring Ihenacho, are we sure he'll not be rotated? Kdb/sterling can play as false 9.

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I am doing my R&D as we speak..

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm thinking Origi would be better replacement for Austin.

        1. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Sturridge..

          1. Rolls-Royce
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            If Klopp say he's fit to play, I'm getting him in.

    2. zøphar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      this is my concern too, nolito can play up top as well

    3. Mini Mane Mo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      moral of the story...don't follow the herd mentality

    4. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Even if he's not rotated, he's out in four GWs. I understand the appeal, but I don't like taking hits for players I know I'm going to have to replace in less than a month.

    5. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      All city players will get rotated. With Austin getting injured and Kun out for 4 weeks it was an easy choice for me to get him. Always have good bench back up over Xmas though.

  9. Mini Mane Mo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kun-lovers...how are you going to get him back if you alr have Haz/Sanchez/Costa/Kane...who are you going to sacrifice

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso will get severely downgraded GW20.

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And one of Kane/Costa will go.

        1. Mini Mane Mo
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Bar GW 20/22/25, Kane's got good fixtures till GW33 potentially...Costa bar GW20/23/24...you need 2 hits

          1. BananaNose Maldonado
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Well, I'm not going to have Kane, Costa and Aguero, so one of those two would have to go if I want Kim back. I'll have a little reserve in the bank, so Alonso to Brunt and Kane/Costa to Aguero would do it.

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure I want back

      1. Mini Mane Mo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        wld you use KDB to cover or go without cIty players

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Really not sure. Might try and fit KDB in but there aren't many options other than Kun and KDB.
          Although Jesus could become a decent pick

          1. Mini Mane Mo
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            will be interested to see how Jesus fits in..if plays out wide or in a 4-4-2

    3. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Costa will stay with me due to his Tfr value. Kane only score penalties so I chose to punt on Ibra. I will downgrade the inevitable injury one of my lot gets.

  10. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Austin is croked.

    7.2 budget

    It has to be Iheanacho right?

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Origi has been mentioned alittle...i'll throw in wilson, negredo or even anichebe

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm ok yeah.
        Some good decent shouts there.

        Thanks

    2. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Benteke to smash Hull

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah wish I coukd afford him

  11. Petr Chec Yourself
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Play 2 out of 3:

    a) Phillips Che(A)
    b) Amat Sun(H)
    c) Walker Manu(A)

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Walker Phillips

      1. Petr Chec Yourself
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        should i take a hit and play one of walker and phillips and get in Origi or Nacho for Austin?

        1. noquarternt
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Don't take the hit, Nacho and Origi are suspect moves, just waiting for another transfer to correct them. Teams are about to play 3 games in 7 days, definitely going to be rotation about- especially with Klopp and Pep.

          If either take off and look like they'll play the next few, you can get them in hit free.

          1. Petr Chec Yourself
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks! that really helps.

            1. noquarternt
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Lots on here have backed themselves into a corner with a hit or two earlier in the week and are now trying to make themselves feel better by pushing the pro-hit agenda.

              1. Petr Chec Yourself
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                thats what i did..got in Austin and Sanchez!..Should have waited for mid week game to pull the trigger

  12. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How would you play this GW?

    Capoue or Allen

    &

    Holebas/Amat/Colem?

    Choose 1 for each please?

    Cheers

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Capoue

      Coleman/Holebas toss up.

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Capoue is what I thought too.

        Just cant decide on Coleman or Holebas???

        1. noquarternt
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah it's tough, both pretty attacking. Do it on who's got the best clean sheet odds I guess.

  13. We ain't got no histor…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hi Peeps,

    Pickford Valdes
    Mee Cedric Holebas Lovren Love
    Firmino Haz Sanchez Siggy Carrick
    Costa Kane Austin**

    Now that Austin is injured and I am already on -4

    Whom shall I play:
    A) back 4
    B) Carrick

    Thanks Already

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Take another hit looking 5 weeks ahead.

      1. We ain't got no histor…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks but I already took -8 last week and I didn't went well. Also, kinda struggling with scores since past 3 weeks

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Forget about what has gone. The liklihood of you not wanting to make future transfers outside of Austin is slim. Chances are he is out for a month so a hit for a points source is not that bad.

          1. We ain't got no histor…
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Who shall I replace him with. 0.3ITB

            1. Eze Really?
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Nacho is the flavour atm. And he is rising in price.

              1. We ain't got no histor…
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                He is a good shout but with Pep's rotation policy u never know. Already devastated with him benching KDB

                1. Eze Really?
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  there are very few players over the next month that won't get rotated. So the risk is no greater than "say" Sanchez

    2. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

  14. EMERGING STAR
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Going with 3-5-2

    Pickford
    Pieters - Amat - Alonso
    DeBruyne - Hazard - Firmino - Lallana - Sanchez
    Iheanacho - Kane

    Grant Kingsley Friend Barnes 0.4 ITB

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Good looking team. Could score huge!!

      1. EMERGING STAR
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thx

  15. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Looking ahead to the midweek fixtures, I really want Kane (h) to Hull and beyond.

    Thoughts on this for -4?

    Siggy + Deeney > Phillips + Kane

    1. Coldplay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't be getting rid of Siggy yet.

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ideally not but you would fancy Kane to score big in the next few.

        1. Coldplay
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          What's your team like? Can you take someone else out?

          1. Count of Monte Hristo
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Heaton Pickford

            Lovren McAuley Fuchs Holebas Amat

            Sánchez Hazard Mané Siggy Fletcher

            Costa Defoe Deeney

            1. Count of Monte Hristo
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Tried to downgrade Fuchs and Holebas but it only leaves me with 4.0 each for replacements.

            2. Coldplay
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Tough one then. Do it next week for free then? Considering Spurs doesn't have the easiest fixture this week and Siggy has a good fixture?

              1. Count of Monte Hristo
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                It's for next week as a -4

  16. JustPark
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I have a bit of regret when I made early transfer this week Austin to Anichebe but now, zero of them!

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What did you do with the funds. Bank ?

  17. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So, I've got Austin and Pedro who I got in for -8 last week along with Kane.

    No bench worth mentioning

    Should I just (A) take another -8 to get Hazard and 6.2 striker in?

    No good options at that price range really. (Carroll, Gray, Llorente, Anichebe)

    Or another option (B) is to keep Pedro (and continue without Hazard) but do Austin and Amat to Iheanacho and Alonso for -8.

    Or option (C): just upgrade Austin to someone (up to 9.4) for -4.

    So A, B or C?

    Team in full:
    Cech Pickford
    Lovren Holebas Pieters Chambers Amat
    Sanchez Firmino Siggy Pedro Carrick
    Kane Costa Austin
    0 FT 2,4 ITB?

    1. Coldplay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What's wrong with Pedro? Is he injured? I'd just get Defoe for Austin and leave it at that and hope Pedro plays.

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He's flagged and I think Willian will start regardless...

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Austin out and defensive upgrade.

  18. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Benteke or Defoe long term?

    1. Coldplay
      • 13 Years

    Swap Austin for Iheanacho for a hit (would be 2 hits this GW) or play Capoue?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      As mentioned above the hit for Austin is not that serious.

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Could be a masterstroke. Although convention says no HIT. I would do it.

    3. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Swap

      Live a little

    4. Mini Mane Mo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      wouldn't swap for nacho knowing that 3 weeks later u'll need to definitely take him out

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This.

        But you'd feel good if he scored you 40 points.

        1. Mini Mane Mo
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          IF is a pretty big assumption before balls are being kicked...won't bet against him doing that against a lousy Lei defence though

        2. noquarternt
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Haha 40 points

    5. Coldplay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hmm. Cheers lads. Still not convinced it's worth a hit when I can do it for free next week and Capoue's a capable filler for now, but will think it through.

  20. Blunderland
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Carroll or Anichebe?

    Carrolls fixtures look really good and the guy is a threat when fit

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      when is he ever fit

      1. Blunderland
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I've had him in past seasons and he's served me well. Anichebe is due an injury as well so I don't know. Plus he's heading off to the Afcon in January and I need a decent 3rd striker for 6.2 or less.

        1. TokyoRisingSun
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Nigeria didn't qualify

          1. Blunderland
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            *facepalm

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Monitor Carroll this GW. Bit skeptical

    3. Coldplay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Anichebe still the better pick imo. Need to see more from West Ham before I consider Carroll

  21. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Rate my team on a scale of Susan Boyle to Scarlett Johansson.

    Heaton
    Alonso / Cedric / Pieters
    Hazard (c) / Firmino / Sigudsson / Snodgrass
    Costa / Defoe (vc) / Kane

    Pickford / McAuley / DeRoon / Friend

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably about a Susan Sarandon

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hot

        1. TokyoRisingSun
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Not keen on Snodgrass as fourth mid tbh

          1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            He will be Wallcott, Son or Alli next week.

            1. TokyoRisingSun
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Fair enough. Rest of team is gtg imo

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm either scoring 20 or 120 this week i can feel it.

    3. ducksfly2gether
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't u think McCauley is a better play than pieters? No chance Stoke keep arsenal out, and probably no chance WBA keep a CS either, but mcauley goal threat is greater, I think.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah i keep switching between the two. For me it is who will concede more.

        1. ducksfly2gether
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Interesting. That seems like you're trying to save a point rather than going for 6.

    4. white lightning
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If Friend is fit, play over Pieters. Maybe start McAuley over Pieters based on goal threat.
      I have to say I don't like Snodgrass at all. I 'd even consider taking a hit to sell Snodgrass.
      The rest are great choices.

  22. Jayblue
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I always mess up with my captain choices. Everytime. So this time i need you all to choose for me
    1. Hazard
    2. Mane
    3. Firmino
    4. Costa
    5. Iheanacho
    6. Benteke
    7. Ozil

    1. nikush
      • 9 Years

      same problem below; to me 🙁

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mane. If you watched the Arsenal highlights last week you'd know why

      1. Jayblue
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ohhhh about what a shitty team west ham is huh? My first choice would've been mane but this liverpool team is crazy. You never know who scores.

        1. TokyoRisingSun
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Specifically, the way Arsenal destroyed them from the right flank

          1. Jayblue
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Okay you convinced me. I'm making mane captain

            1. ducksfly2gether
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Lol, Mane will probably get something, but I think firmino is due, and for a bigger game

              1. Jayblue
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                See this is why i hate liverpool from an fpl perspective

                1. ducksfly2gether
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  If I were u I wouldn't C either of them, since u have both. If they blank AND u captained one of them, you're done. If they get points, you're still getting even money. Go for the blackjack with Benteke. In form and in pens and the best fixture.

                  1. Jayblue
                    • 11 Years
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    Makes sense

                  2. Jayblue
                    • 11 Years
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    But there's very less chance liverpool will blank. Westham is the second highest goal conceding team. And benteke's opposition hull is also high in conceding.. hmmm this is gonna need thoughts

                    1. ducksfly2gether
                      • 10 Years
                      9 years, 1 month ago

                      Mane and firming could blank even if Liverpool scores 3

                      1. Jayblue
                        • 11 Years
                        9 years, 1 month ago

                        You're right

  23. nikush
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Captain 1:

    A. Hazard
    B. Costa
    C. Firmino
    D. Kane
    E. Iheanacho
    F. Siggy
    G. Walcott

    what would you do !!!

    1. Jayblue
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wow we even have 4 of the same players

    2. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years

      become the dice man

      1. nikush

        which would you pray for; if you were me ...

    3. Kip

      Haz for me

      Mikey D will do his thing

      1. Jayblue
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Haz, benteke or mane?

  24. Clifford☯
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Play McAuley (che)
    B) Austin to Iheanacho (-4)

    1. nikush
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

  25. Dougal McGuire
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Austin to Kane for -4? Have left over funds from Kun to Costa, that move leaves me with 0.2.

    1. Kip
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

  26. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Big issue in my team..
    After having taken a -4pt earlier this week to get Costa and Alonso for Lukaku and Fuchs..
    Now I am finding myself with Bolasie and Austin in RED!

    Should I take another hit to get Lallana in for Bolasie or any other player you'd recommend me?
    Team is as follows;

    Cech (pickford)
    Alonso - BSmith - Holebas (Evans - Pieters)
    Firmino - Hazard - Redmond - Siggy - (Bolasie)
    Costa - Kane - Austin

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Forget about the hits and tidy your team up for the month to come.

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Who do I get IN?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Many options.
          Punt on Nacho or Carroll
          Bolasie can go to Chadli maybe or make only one tfr.

          1. El-Kloppico
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Chadli was high on my wishlist before getting injured.
            Now that the fixtures are turning, I'm not so much keen on him.
            Short by 0.1 to get Wally in for Bolasie

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yep.. That's my concern.. Either I play one of Pieters/Evans or take another hit.
        But I thinkI'll be keeping Austin for the coming fixtures.. minor injury in the arm if I'm not mistaken. Should be ok for next week

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Austin to Defoe. Sort out bolasie next week

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Is Nacho a better option?

        1. TokyoRisingSun
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Just have a feeling Defoe could haul big vs Swansea

          1. El-Kloppico
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I like Defoe as an option but fixtures are not so smooth though.

            1. HazardAGuess
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Maybe so, but Defoe has been proving he can score against just about anyone. I've done Austin > Defoe too. A fair few good fixtures in between the rough ones, but at least he's nailed-on, eh?

  27. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How nailed on is Origi? Does Lallana coming back threaten his spot?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Jurgen rotates and if Studge is back Origi has 2 players who can move him out.

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nope.. Origi seems pretty nailed as long as Couts is absent

      1. thep025
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Who makes way for Lallana then? Can or Wijnaldum maybe?? And how long is Sturridge expected to be out for?

        1. El-Kloppico
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Gini imo

        2. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Can is playing well and his legs won't be tired. There will be Klopp rotation.

  28. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton
    Clyne Amat Vertonghen
    Firmino Capoue Sanchez Hazard
    Austin Kane Costa

    Pickford Fletcher Pieters Evans

    0.2 ITB &;done a rare -8 this week to get Sanchez & Costa in before price rises.
    Now Austin is out injured should I do -12 or just leave it and let a sub come in?

    1. thep025
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      -12 isnt worth it imo.....

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You've got bigger problems when Capoue is 4th mid

      1. Scotty B
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        There's always one isn't there who has to be smart

  29. Kip
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    For the festive period would you rather have:

    A) Benteke + Milner
    B) Defoe + Zaha
    C) Defoe + Lanzini

    As 3rd striker/4th mid

  30. GreenWindmill
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gutted Austin is out. Not only do I have to find a useful replacement (which at first glance looks very difficult in that price range) but now every man and his dog will have Iheanacho who I wanted to be a nice little differential. Grr.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just keep Austin.. His injury is a minor one and he might be the differential for the coming weeks if everyone is shipping. I am in the same boat but prefer playing 4 DEF and keeping Austin. Fixtures are juicy ahead. Except if Puel confirm he is out long term
