FFS Charity Football Tournament

In just under a fortnight, on Saturday 24th February, around 30 Fantasy Football Scout community members will be putting away their keyboards and dusting off their replica kits as they get ready to play a round-robin, seven-a-side charity football tournament.

The event takes place at Hendon Football Centre, Barnet, NW9 5PE, between 12-3pm and has been organised by myself and TopMarx.

The day is being staged in memory of Simon Humber, who lost his battle with ocular melanoma in 2015. Simon was the creative director of EA’s FIFA team, a Portsmouth FC fan and a popular member of the Fantasy Football Scout community as ‘Absinthe’. 

All the money raised will go to The Melanoma Research Foundation – a charity identified and verified in our recent contact with Simon’s family.

More information about Simon, together with an opportunity to donate, is available at this Just Giving page.

Please note that donations are expressed in dollars, rather than pounds, so a donation of $10 will be around £7.20 (based on the exchange rate on the morning of 12th February 2018).

The current squad lists (which may vary on the day) are below, but even if you are not playing or spectating please spare a few moments and a few quid by clicking on the Just Giving link and making a donation.

In addition to donations, a strict punitive system will be operated on the day with fines in place for diving, being nutmegged, late tackles and anything else the FFScout community can suggest. We are hoping to get some footage of the matches but can’t promise Sky Sports standard broadcasting.

    Good day guys. Any interesting, off topic discussion this week?

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      + RIP Simon.

    How does this look for a WC team?

    Pope | Fabianski
    Davies | Van Dijk | Jones | Mee | Bauer
    KDB | Salah | Eriksen | Ramsey | Doucoure
    Kane | Firmino | Ayew

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Nice!

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Pope under Heaton threat?
      Ramsey always hurt

      1. Sadio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I really want Eriksen, but perhaps Son and Mkhitaryan would be a better duo.

        Pope is a possible concern - Pickford the alternative.

        1. Gimli son of Gloin
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I'm getting in Deli Alli this week, think he'll have a big finish to the season. Been looking much better the last few weeks. Eriksen a good pick too, just thought I'd mention it.

          1. barracuda
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Why did you WC so early? Thanks

            1. Gimli son of Gloin
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Wanted rid of Alonso, Ota, Kane, Masuaku, Arnautovic and my keepers were poor. Not sold on the massive importance of saving it for a DGW.

              1. barracuda
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 2 months ago

                Thank you, seems like it has been working for you just marvelous!

                1. Gimli son of Gloin
                  • 11 Years
                  6 years, 2 months ago

                  Yeah, all going well. Will take a dent when everybody else uses WC if I'm not prepared accordingly but I plan to be.

                • 12 Years
                6 years, 2 months ago

                rid of Kane?

    3. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Why Bauer?

      1. Sadio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        May opt for Naughton but not sure I want a triple up on Swans.

        Bauer has a game in GW31 is the main reason.

  3. LSP
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Pope Elliot
    Kenny Fernandez Jones Otamendi Alonso
    Milivojevic Lingard Son Sterling Salah 
    Quaner Aguero Kane

    2 FT, 0.3 ITB

    Thoughts on Otamendi + Alonso + Lingard + Quaner > Van dijk + Lowton + JWP + Firmino (-8)?

    -8 is a bit of a stretch but having Kane Kun Firmino just seems so irresistible.

    1. danishdynamite
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      1) Wait til the FA cups have been played, and - unless you are gonna FH in 31 - get players who play in the BGW

      2) I can't see why you'd wanna do an 8 point hit, unless your plan is to play all of the four you bring in, while benching a few who have half decent games?

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Would try to do it at -6 and wait for Tourney games to pass this week to see if any injuries to people you want to bring in or other players on your roster

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry...-4

    3. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Not gonna lie, that front three has served me well for the last couple of months

  4. danishdynamite
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    I am one of the pillocks who brought in Sanchez, hoping for greater things but harvested nothing but a steaming pile of dogmuck

    Yes, yes, BGW 31's around the corner and all that, but Mahrez vs Sanchez over the next 3 yields more than the cost of a hit, Shirley?

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure Mahrez is still in form... wait to see him play one

    2. Tazah
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      he should have easily scored yesterday

  5. MarvelouSuccess
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Sitting pretty on 109 points with hazard left to play 😀

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      i hope hazard gets you 20 points

    2. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Swapped the captaincy to Aguero from Hazard at the last minute, thank God.

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

      Very nice!

  6. Geoff

    Looking forward to the tournament. Team Malaga 😀

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Really hope I can get the day off. I want to get as many nutmeg shots as possible.

      1. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years

        Not on me you won't

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        You don't get the day off, you tell them you are off

  7. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    I'm on 82 points, with Foster, Alonso and Hazard remaining?
    Odds of me getting a ton?

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Good but I am a Chelsea fan... may be wishful thinking

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Surely Chelsea can keep a clean sheet against West Bum.

    2. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I'd predict you break 100 but Chelsea have defied prediction these past few weeks.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Just it seems every time I've been perfectly set up to break a ton this season my last 3 players get 2 points each.

        1. Gimli son of Gloin
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Rest easy, Hazard involvement in a 2-0 win will get you over the line.

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            I hope thats the case.

    3. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Needs an assist from either Hazard or Alonso and a Chelsea clean sheet. Very possible.

    4. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      hopefully 10 from haz 2 from foster and a cleanie for alonso should be enough i just think chelsea will concede though

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        That would be apple bonkers if WBA score against them, they're worse than Chelsea.

    5. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      99

    6. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      98
      Foster 11
      Alonso 2
      Hazard 3

  8. theodosios
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Best replacement for Lingard up to 6.6? Rest of mid: Sterling,Son,Salah,Shaqiri

    1. Goalosaurus
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Your "rest of mid" is the same as mine.

      I had D.Silva and switched him out to ward-prowse, he could be okay option if you want to use extra funds elsewhere.

      Would definitely be saying Arnie if you had an extra 0.2.

      1. theodosios
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Tnx mate.What do you think about Doucoure?Arnie has pretty bad fixtures until the end of the season

        1. Goalosaurus
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Not sure about Doucoure, depends how he plays under Gracia, strikes the ball well and if he keeps getting forward should probably get a few goals. Yeah, fixtures aren't great for Arnie.

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Toughy this. I don't like any of the options.

      I'd either go McArthur and make sure you have a playing third striker or go up to Walcott. Going to keep Son?

      1. theodosios
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Don't have money for Walcott and I'm gonna keep Son 🙂

        1. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Really I think we wait until we get clarity on 31.

          Lingard > Walcott last week for me, and Otamendi + Son > ?? +?? this week

          1. theodosios
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Ota>Alderweireld(wait for news until next week) and for Son...Spurs only have Chelsea in GW32 and City in GW34(they will probably be champions until then).Only concern is Moura...

    3. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      FWIW I think three up top is the way to go, so a nice 4.3m option (McArthur?)

  9. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Ben Davies nailed with Rose?

    1. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, one of those two is definitely nailed at LB

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Rose back meant to be 🙂

        1. Going Home
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I would avoid unless you are happy with your subs. I think he will probably play most of the games between now and the end of the season, but the ones he was rested for previously were the plum fixtures :/

          1. barracuda
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers mate

    2. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      well, im also considering him, and i got you in my minileague : Superb 🙂

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yeaaha, I am well above you so it won't matter 🙂

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds painful or like an aggressive romance.

  10. Going Home
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    What's the general view on Pope? Safe for another few weeks; until he makes a mistake or Heaton back imminently?

  11. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    the best replacement for Alonso and Choupo Motain ?

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Don't get rid of Choupo! Have confidence in your decision, he's still a good option.

      I'd be tempted to just downgrade Alonso, to someone who has a guaranteed GW31. But that will depend on your team.

  12. BON
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    A. Sterling + Agüero + 0.0 ITB

    B. KDB + Firmino + 0.8 ITB

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Firmino, because of the blank

  13. Geoff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    What to do about Aguero?

    Most of us who don't have him now wish we had him for the last few, and those who have him are understandably happy - but what now? If you don't have him, are you thinking about getting him in? If you have him, are you keeping? How long will you try to hold him for?

    Does planning for the impending blanks and doubles impact your decision on what to do about Aguero?

    1. jamie1972
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Have him. Considering a downgrade to turn Lingard into Mahrez/Eriksen

      Waiting to see if the cup games make my decision for me....

      1. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Things will definitely change after the cup games, even if nothing changes for Aguero.

        I'm definitely holding my FTs until after they're played

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Don't own and not interested in buying him at this stage. Couldn't get him in when others were ditching Kane for him as I was already maxed out on City (De Bruyne, Sterling & Otamendi) but I don't really feel like I've missed out as KDB has produced the same amount of points over the last 3 GWs. With Champions League starting back and Jesus nearing a return I'm happy to stick with De Bruyne and ignore Aguero.

    3. Delhidynamo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I remember a certain kickoff article by mark about how Aguero comes and stays in his team tattooed with the Captain's armband

      Aguero is an exceptionally consistent goalscorer playing with one of the best creators in the world.

      He is a safe bet to score every time he plays, unless Jesus starts to affect his minutes majorly he isn't leaving my team

      1. Geoff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I was hoping to keep Mark out of this one 😛

        I think holding until he starts not to fire is a good way to go. Feels risky to get him in, but maybe it's actually riskier not to have him at all.

      2. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        This is it. When did I fall out of love with the guy? I think it's just I'm Kane obsessed.

        1. Delhidynamo
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I don't even remember when that article is from, maybe it was before a manc derby and you'd brought him in. But the words are etched in my memory

        2. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Aye, you and me both

          Captaincy didn't quite work out for me this week though :/

    4. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I have had him for a couple of months - I am shipping for Aubameyang after GW28 as part of my mini WC (Kun, Ox, Ota to Aub, Rambo, VVD)

      1. BON
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        That's not a mini wildcard and no such term exists. You're making 3 transfers and that's all it is.

        1. Going Home
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Bet you're fun at parties...

          It seems to be a widely used and accepted term here (adjective: using 2FTs as part of a wider group of transfers incurring a points hit)

    5. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Sculling some drinks and cursing his name and looking to the future

    6. Cruz88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Swapped him to Kane over the weekend, just because it was always my plan to bring in Aguero whilst Kane rode out those tough fixtures and then bring Kane back. Jesus returning makes me doubt some of Aguero's minutes and Kane tends to get a bit more mental goal-wise as the golden boot race hots up so I'll be sticking with him until the end now I think.

    7. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Hope they blank GW 28

    8. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Beacuse of Salah and Kane for me as captain choices, I'm buying vardy to go with Firmino and Kane

      1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        So if Aguero scores another 21 points in 1 gw you wouldn't want him because you would have too much C choices?

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          If I m not going to captain him I would rather have vardy and 8 mil midfielder then Kun and McArthur so more balanced,I hope you understand this I could draw you if you don't

          1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            No, I don't understand people like you making some empty point about balance and value and ignoring points because it's not well balanced team. Vardy & Son scored 8 points this week and Kun & McArthur scored 23 points. And after all, you have to bench someone every week. You cant play them all. That's why we buy those 4.3 mil players, so we can have Kun, Kane Firmino upfront and bench those 4.3mil players

            1. CRO KLOPP
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              If you take one week it's true but vardy and son have overall much more points then Kun and McArthur,if you think that Kun will score 21 every week then you are right.
              You asked me question and I gave you my opinion that I will captain Salah and Kane till end and that I would rather have Vardy and Son then Aguero and fodder beacuse I think that my two picks will bring more points
              Cheers

          2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            "If I m not going to captain him I would rather have..."
            Just listen to yourself here, he scored 21 points and you are somehow making a point that isn't valuable. Lol

            1. CRO KLOPP
              • 6 Years

    Why are people bringing in Davies and not Trippier? Both facing competition.

  17. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero non owners,how was last 3 gmwks affect you?
    I manage to calculate how much did I lose for not going Kane to Aguero
    I captained Salah 3 gmwks in a row and got 26-30-16+ Kane 6-4-2=84
    If I had Kun I would captain him,so 42-4-12+ Salah 13-15-8 =94
    So 10 points lost,but 2 transfers which I used to get shaq and Wilson and 3 green arrows from 40 to 30 k
    I manage to get away
    How much did you lose or maybe gain?
    Sorry for long post
    Cheers

        1. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          He gave up and admitted defeat early on in the game! some gifted goals alright

      Pretty bad for me, couldn't have been much worse.
      Unfortunately I captained Alonso (1) instead of Salah (8) in GW25.
      And I used my 3 transfers (one of them being a 4 point hit) to bring in Jordan Ayew, Mahrez and Wilson, who only scored four 2-pointers between them for my team, since I left Jordan Ayew's 8 points on the bench in GW25.
      Red arrow in GW25, green in GW26, and another red in GW27 (unless Alonso and Azpilicueta do something amazing tonight).
      🙁

      1. CRO KLOPP

        Yeah, gmwk 25 was a week for captain punt

    4. Jebiga
      • 12 Years

      i think i did decent, salah captain 3 gws in a row

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, Egyptian Messi saved us

    5. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I did Kane and Alli > Aguero and Salah (had taken Salah out for the Spurs DGW). Captained Aguero. Net gain over 60 points, but largely due to the combined Salah and Aguero impact.

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Nice man, what's your OR?

        1. Jigger & Pony
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Around 22k

  18. Clintymints
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    I'd totes go to that football game if I was nearby and love to play.

    It would be gas to see who's who

  19. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Vertonghen and Robertson or Davies and VvD?

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Probably A

  20. HLaw/91
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Obviously a lot depends on the game tonight but any obvious moves here?

    Pope (Speroni)
    Alonso / Jones / Monreal (Gomez/Duffy)
    Hazard / Sterling / Shaqiri / Salah (Milivojevic)
    Kane / Firmino / Ayew

    2FTs, 0 I.T.B.

    Speroni and Gomez are injured and I don't have Aguero. If Chelsea win I might have to do a boring transfer like Gomez to Lascelles...

  21. BON
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    4.5 • 4.0
    5.0 • 5.0 • 4.5 • 4.5 • 4.5
    KDB • Salah • Walcott • Shaqiri • Milo
    Kane • Agüero • Firmino

    I could afford this if I wildcarded, but I'm not wildcarding. It looks really nice though.

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Not many decent defenders at those prices though

      1. BON
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Big teams aren't keeping cleansheets though.

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Ngl it would have been a great wildcard last week maybe, but now it's a bit chasing last weeks points to get in Aguero imo.

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      You could even get a nice 5.5/6.0 def if you get a 5th def sh!ttter

    4. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling over KdB

  22. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Is Coleman decent pick if Alonso blanks tonight ?

    1. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I think he could be a decent pick (injury dependent). But he's horrifically overpriced in a defence that is conceding pretty much every week.

      Expect to see him in plenty of FH teams in GW31 though!

    2. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I think he could be back injured again

    3. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      What sort of logic is that

      1. Jebiga
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        didnt sow his price i thought hes about 5 😀

    4. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Nah he's too expensive and needs a few more games to get back to it

    5. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      It looks Martina is also decent pick

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Genuinely the worst player in the league imo

      2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I wouldn’t be rushing to bring in an Everton defender. They are useless at keeping clean sheets. (A sorry Pickford owner here)!

  23. adam28193
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Otamendi and lingard > Robertson and Alli... thoughts?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Nice punt.

    2. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I think anyone who brings in a Liverpool defender (with the possible exception of VvD) is playing with fire. It could pay off, but scousers were messing themselves over Moreno earlier this season and Robertson wasn't getting a look in. With UCL coming back, I would avoid

  24. Mr. Jenkins
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Double up on SWA defence with fabianki and Naughton or punt on Karius for 0.2m more?

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I'd punt to spread the love

    2. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I don't think Karius is a punt. I could be wrong, but I'm sure I remember Klopp saying that Karius would be first choice keeper for league fixtures about 5/6 weeks ago

  25. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Couldn't get ur opinion mark on son keep or sell in fb live questions. Can u give ur opinion on that considering current state of affairs

  26. ZakyJ
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    My team:

    Pope / Adrian
    Bauer / Stones / Jones / Kenny / TAA
    Richarlison / Sterling / Salah / Lingard / Chalobah
    Aguero / Firminio / Kane

    1FT, 0.2ITB

    Removing Stones is obviously most important although want to get karius/ rid of richarlison. Niasse is also tempting for more money elsewhere. Presume kenny will play this week due to Coleman injury.

    So just Stones or 2 transfers and a -4?

    who for Stones:
    a) Laporte 0.1ITB
    b) Mawson 0.5ITB
    c) Fernandez 1.1ITB
    d) Dummette / Marriappa / Francis / Collins (1.3-1.5 ITB)

    1. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      You need to get rid of a Liverpool player before you bring another one in 😉

      Then no urgency on Karius. Richarlison has a fixture in 31 (and keeps passing the eye test imo). Niasse looksgreat value, agreed. Everton don't play for 12 days, so plenty of time for Coleman to recover.

  27. Ozist
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Pope (Elliot)
    Azpi Jones Ota Fernandez
    Pogba walcott Sterling Salah
    Kane Firmino

    Elliot | Murray , Mcarthur , Memba

    Which one to do
    1) Pogba -> Arnie
    2) Pogba -> siggy
    3) walcott -> shaqiri
    having 1.6 ITB and 1FT

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      1 don't think I would like a double on Everton and keep Walcott

      1. Ozist
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        How abt mahrez or son

  28. Sims
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    I have pretty much the same OR as I had back in gW 13

    This game really does get very tedious at times especially when there is a lack of big hitters all performing at the same time

    Can't wait for the DGW/BGW/Chip period to begin so there is a major shake up

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yup can’t wait

    2. Ephurion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      It all depends on what your OR was and is 🙂
      Give me an OR of top 1k in GW 13 and I'm happy to stay the same.
      OR of 1M or so would make me unhappy.

    3. Delhidynamo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Would you rather fall to obscurity?

    4. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Can swap teams if you want 😀

    5. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      do you have a link of your team ? and which rang are you ?
      i think the same for me around 50k all this year...

    6. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Depends what your OR is. I would love it to be tedious if my OR was a three figure number in GW13 and now (as it is, I'm about 70k better off)

    7. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I still won't be able to recover from the fact I was 19k in GW16, and now I'm 93k

      1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Just re adjust your targets and play the game according to them.

        I did this after a poor start (still 2 millionth at gw10) so made target of top 5k and to win my 3 mini leagues. I'm now 50k and top in 2 mini leagues and 35 points adrift in the other one. Still all chips left, so hopefully still exciting times. OR may be your main objective but it ain't the be all and end all.

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          That's very true actually

          I set out my target at the beginning of the season to be 50k in my 2nd season and to win my ML after coming 2nd last year. If I can achieve both of those targets then I will count it as a successful season, don't need top 10k yet 🙂

          1. Clintymints
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            With the crazy amount of players joined 50k is brilliant

    8. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      The chips are overrated, doubt you'll move much within top 5k. Everyone will make the same moves.

      1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        But i will still find a way to enjoy it over the coming weeks.

  29. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    ok, so what should i do with my team ?

    i think i will quit this game, dont have any ideas anymore 🙂

    2FT
    0.1 in the bank

    ddg
    jones, alonso, daniels
    hazard, salah, son, sterling, choupo - motain
    kane, firmino

    sub: elliot, gomez, quaner, goldson

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Alonso to Vertonghen and Choupo to Walcott?

  30. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Could Mahrez equal Eriksen's output till the end of the season?
