If your team name happens to be Bulkegjengen, then you’re up against Granville in the Second Round of the Fantasy Football Scout Paddy Power Cup VII this weekend.

Elsewhere, Mark squares up to James Akers, while Mike Hamilton has his eyes on the biggest scalp of them all right now – his team “False Nines” is up against Scout League leader and overall number one Iyad Zahlan.

There are plenty of site regulars still remaining in the hat – if you made it through last weekend, scroll down to see who you’re up against this time out:

        He'd play the deep role, with Mikel, although that would leave Ramires struggling to get in the team... Tbh, I can't see any need for another holding player, despite how good Fellaini is, we're strong enough there at the moment that the quoted £30 million seems like a huge waste that we could be spending on a bloody new striker....

            Agreed, but there's no way he'll play in the hole for us... I agree it doesn't make sense, but does any of our transfer dealing make sense anymore 😀 ??

          He`s superior to Mikel even in the CDM role, but i agree with you that you dont really need a new first team player in this position. Buy someone young and talented and invest heavily in a new striker because you wont win the league with Torres as is.

      He's a knob. He could just wait till the transfer window and do it instead of announcing it now and pissing off the fans during a good spell. Amazing how players looking for a move suddenly find career beat form.

    Has the idea of selling points for cash ever been mooted before? So at the moment we can sell 4 points for a transfer but what if you could say spend 10 points and get £0.5m deposited in your cash pot. Would this deflect from the core part of the game or add an extra dimension that could be interesting? The trick would be in where you pitch the cost. Can't make it too easy to get the money together but not so expensive that no-one would ever do it.

    Has anyone ever done any analysis on whether it is overall better to do transfers early in the gameweek or later or what the optimium time is?

    For building value, the earlier the better, i.e. on Saturday, before even the Sunday games have taken place. Or, failing this, Sunday / Monday.

    On the flip side, this approach risks player getting injured, etc (either the ones you bring in or ones that you left in your team). Leaving it as late as possible minimises this risks and avoids potential unnecessary point hits.

    Which approach do you take? (in general)

      I take the early approach - as late as possible without losing out to a single a price rise or fall. I followed that last year and saved around £1.0m - £1.5m. I got bitten twice by subsequent injuries that forced point hits.

      8 points for £1.0m - £1.5m

      But perhaps I got very lucky with the injuries.

        If you can afford to wait, then wait.

        However, I find it useful to jump aboard price rises in the first half of the season, taking hits for unforseen injuries where necessary, so that you can then have a much deeper (more expensive squad) in the second half of the season.

        After christmas you can then be much more rigid with your transfers, only getting people in at the last minute, as you have more money to play with.

      My approach changes through the season:

      Early on I will do early transfers as the price changes are crazy with casuals still in the market, in order to build team value - taking a risk on injuries

      After the first few weeks (i.e. around now) use a balanced approach, depending what games there are midweek, etc - some early some late

      In the New Year, just do them on Friday nights and forget about value

    I'm a Chelsea fan. My friend is a West Brom fan. His birthday is on Saturday which coincides with the Chelsea vs West Brom game saturday. We want to watch it and their are still tickets available although not in the away(chelsea) end. Whats the general consensus nowerdays with an away fan like me sitting with the west brom supporters?

    I know its not ideal but at the same time we want to go to the football together aswel rather than have to sit at opposite parts of the ground.

    We are both NOT hooligans by the way. I do however, like any fan, shout rather loudly if we score and find it hard to hold in my emotions...

      Afternoon, have you seen your main man's quote on Gerrard? Very amusing.

      "Steven Gerrard could have played for a big club."

        He talks a lot of sense does Zlatan. I'm sure stevie regrets not moving to Chelsea when he had the chance. Now means when he retires he won't have any title medals.

      I would be inclined to upgrade a defender. To maybe Sagna?

          I can't argue against your proposed trades. Both berba and Suarez in great form.

          I would maybe consider holding onto ba as I still think he could do very well.

      at some point u will want to slightly improve that defence a 5.0 like saylor shawx cnt be a bad idea

    I've just convinced myself i'm going to do Santi > Silva for a hit

    I remember when i brought in Mata for a hit was when he was rested during the international break and then he went bang with 18 points.....my thinking is the same here with Silva

      Silva isn't an explosive player like Mata. He's a clockwork assister and very unlikely to repay the hit this week. Wait and get him free. It's not like his price is rising.

      its beena while i havnt read such a useless article
      any drunk can write such an article after watching 10min of any everton game this season
      baines is great but only coz he's in everton
      he can easily fit in any "big" team but the added value to his game is that he is in everton, that phil neville slides to the left to cover his offensive forays and that pienaar is a pure winger who likes to hug the line

          i am an everton fan and tired of such articles about baines and fellaini written by people who searched probably for 5 min before completing the article.

          everton is a unit, and thats what is making its strengh
          sometimes baines gets cought upfield the same way that santos guy does in arsenal, but he has players around him aware of his moves and covering his back on teh counters

          also fellaini is good because there are players who know where the flicjk on is going and get positioned well while others make inch perfect 50 yards passes

          everton is maximizing its strengh by investing in every individual quality in the team while using the collective to cover up the consequences
          thats the secret of moyes

    Baines/Rafa/McAuley/Clark/Wilson

    Michu/Bale/Sterling/HBA/El Ahmadi

    Giroud/RVP/Lambert

    1FT, 1.6 in the bank. I thnk either subbing Wilson for someone (although i cant really see who to pick this week?), or getting rid of Michu for someone? Michu has 3 home games against leaky opposition in the next 5, even though Swans arent really scoring atm. Any advice?\ guys?
