no coz mourinho wont be straight wih costa fitness
A lot expect Costa to be back next weekend
I suppose that is true and most definitely will be rested during the mid week european clash.
I was reluctant to take a hit to bring Baines in as Moreno has QPR today. 😳
Too early 🙂
I had planned Moreno and Fabregas to Baines and Tadic but backed out. 😳 I also backed out of Costa and PVA to Baines and Pelle
I am considering those moves today...can't decide!
Can wait at least until after the liverpool game and I might ditch Sterling instead. though thats a little bit short by itself
its an easy game in hindsight, taking hits for defenders usually not a good idea
Moreno wont start I dont think. Enrique will
Source.
16pts away from my first (non DGW) 100pt game, with Siggy, Sterling and Bego to play.
Seems like a good chance but I expect it will go the way of all the others 🙂Repost:
Any of these seem like a good idea?
a) Costa and Hutton ----> Pelle and Baines
b) Moreno and Fab ----> Baines and Tadic
c) Moreno ----> Jagielka
d) leave well enough alone
As I said before this gameweek B 😉
Which was your recommendation again?
Yep, did it myself too.
Ideas to improve this lot?
Krul Elliot
Terry Clyne Chester Hutton Wisdom
Hazard Sterling Tadic Siggy Marney
Costa Kun Pelle
2 FTs, 0.4 itb
A. Hazard -> ADM/Sanchez
B. Hazard & Terry -> Fab & Baines
C. Terry & Chester -> Baines & Duff
D. Sterling -> Walcott (if fit)
E. anything else?
Thoughts appreciated
I reckon C
of those b but not much wrong with your team to be honest
if you're keeping costa then out of those i like B the most
I like b
hey co-manager... nice start to the week, eh?
maybe Chester to Chambers?
or maybe Haz to Alexis... fixtures favor Alexis and he seems to be settlingHey there co-gaffer! Yep nice start and I'm proud of it 😀
Chester to Chambers was pre-planned..now other options have derived.
I'm torn since i just got enough money itb to do B or Cmight be the time to stick with the plan?
... or at least reflect on it until after the Liverpool game...
though i can certainly see the justification for wanting to get baines into the teamMaybe, but I'm not feeling great about getting an Arsenal defender atm. Only Walcott or Sanchez really tempt me.
Will be waiting until after UCL games, most probably..
Thanks for all the replies.
just have enough money itb to do B or C so I'm really torn between the two
Hey great team an amazing results so far! 3K in the world and 93 point score with 3 players yet to play - not too shabby! You should be telling all of us what to do!
To respond to your question, it would be great for you to get a premium defender like Baines into your squad. I also think Hazard has been dangerous recently but not always consistent with points, so might be a good idea to transfer him out especially considering his price tag. Option A and B both look like very good options, but you should maybe wait and see how ADM and Utd perform tomorrow. Unless ADM does something spectacular, I would lean towards B.
Something to think about for the coming weeks is getting some Arsenal and Utd coverage in the attacking areas as you currently have none. Arsenal have great fixtures and strong attacking potential, and Utd will be generally much fresher than the other top 6 sides as they won't have European commitments. Maybe if Siggy/Sterling start to lose form you can consider the likes of ADM, Sanchez, Theo when fit for Sterling and/or Ox & Herrerra for Siggy.
Cheers and good luckThanks for the long response man, really appreciate it. And for the wish too.
Yeah B edges it for me. Will wait until UCL games...
Can you offer any advice on this lot?
Mannone (Given)
Chambers / Hutton / Wisdom (Duff, Dummett)
ADM / Fab / Alexis / Chadli (Quinn)
Aguero / Costa / Pelle

Thanks!
Costa - > Vaz Te for a hit?
I'd wait a day. Vaz Te about to drop.
😆
- UFPL stick or twist
Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic
UFPL stick or twist
Who are you bringing in , who are you planning to captain?
Plus -anyone beat beta ufpl champion Alex's score of 138 so far?Costa captain has screwed quite a few with great vice captains. 😆
I'm going for sterling (c) today. Falcao tomorrow if that doesn't work out.
Who did you have yesterday?
Silva - covering myself after ditching him in fpl and because I knew I had sterling and Falcao to fall back on.
Silva is the most anti-pts good player since Modric. Aguero even missed a penalty so Silva could swerve an assist.Maverick..
🙂
Had hazaRd but going sterling then di Maria ....although hoping the latter fails as many have got him in the normal game
101 for me, subbed terry and hazard and duff for sterling and siggy and wisdom. Leaving thr armband on Kun!
I had Welbeck captain yesterday and I'm twisting. Got Sterling today and Falcao tomorrow. Think 9 isn't enough this week. Had Tadic vice captain in both games so it's a missed opertunity in UFPL and some poor management, if ever a game was set up for a punt.
Which one is better?
A) Foster/Guzan + Siggy + Pelle + £0.8m
B) Guzan/Given + ADM + BerahinoA
A
definitely A
Thanks guys 🙂
I'll soon come up with something to challenge A
If Costa is out for longer and Sterling blanks today I have exact funds for:
Sterling,Ulloa and Costa-> Henderson,Aguero and Welbeck...
the problem is that because of the price changes I have to do it today...
what do you guys think???you wont know if costa out for longer today though so dont do it
i would do it….
Costa may not be that injured after all, Sterling may run riot at QPR to make you think twice.
Don;t do it
Ivan + Heaton > Baines and Guzan for free?
solid moves but plenty of euro footy to dodge midweek
Cheers
Downgrade Hazard to?
A. Siggy
B. BarkleyA if you're a follower
B if you're a leaderwhats behind door C?
Asking your advice. I'm thinking Silva + Moreno + Fab to ADM + Baines + Chandli . What do you think?
Maybe keep Fab but do the others?
Have to sell Fab to find the money
Just Silva+Moreno>Baines+Chadli. Why would you want to sell Cesc?
Yep
Regarding Costa this is most likely isnt it?
Costa coming back from international duty and Chelsea has two easy games over short time. Mourinho realizes that this is a great time for a Costa rest so he is fit and ready when facing United next weekend. No way I am selling.
Most likely? No.
It is possible, and I hope it is true, though.very likely but also likely he actually injured
I'm keeping but may switch out for Welbeck if it looks like he's def out. I'm not going to rearrange my team and miss out on him v qpr though. Want enough to get him back if that's what I do.
hats off to you jonty not many ppl had both tadic & pelle
what made you get those two?
The FFS Watchlist! 🙂
Southampton's fixtures were great and both had exceptional underlying stats in the members area. When fixtures turn like they have for saints and there are two good options I'm always happy to get both. I did the same this time last yr with Suarez and sturridge, which also worked out rather well.
Set on Welbeck? Don't fancy Lukaku?
I'd consider him as well. Sakho is another. Lukaku could offset my lack of baines. Even with a wildcard I can't get baines in. There's so few players I want to get rid of.
I actually think it is most likely. Costa cant play that many games over short period and now Mouinho can rest him. If they lose one of the easy games and people questions why Costa didnt play he can now blame Spain. You see, I am one of the few that can read Mourinhos mind 🙂
Very likely and as an owner, hoping it;s true. Not selling too.
Hoping plenty will be taking hits to get in the likes of Aguero or Baines this week! And plenty ditching Costa in the process.
Dammit, knew Tadic would rise...
What's more important??
bringing in players you want by taking a hit before they rise, or wait until you have FT's and don't worry about price changes?Whatever scores you the most points. Hits this week worked out for me & plenty others.
if want them long term then take the hit but with someone like Aguero id rather absorb the price rise and wait for him to survive europe
Worth a hit if you're bringing a captain in I always think.
valid points cheers, will think long term - was set to bring in baines but Costa injury screwed me…then the price rise too!
A)Baines Tadic Bruce (-4)
B)Bertand Baines Chadli or henderson
Only 500,000 own Kun, i guess that will double within a couple of weeks lol
Swap weeks for days
Nah lucky to go up 0.2 this week with current silly system
Welbeck owners - sticking or swapping for Pelle?
Ramsey back in the starting XI and Walcott returning soon. Worth doubling up on Arsenal?I have Pelle, plan to swap him for Welbeck after next week.
Why get rid of Pelle? Fixtures look good short term.
Yeah but poor in the medium term, I want Welbeck for Burnley at home and then keep him whilst Southampton fixtures stiffen.
Arsenal are so bad just now.
would avoid themChambers, Kosc, Ramsey back in, Walcott to come, Welbeck doing well, Sanchez looks great, I wouldn't be that worried.
Arsenal are bad in defense but still quite potent in attack. I wouldn't swap Welbeck for Pelle, but I might consider both in a team...
I'm keeping welbeck tbh ..... Sanchez hitting form, ramsey and Walcott back ....the service should improve no ned. Plus they have great fixtures
Thanks for replies - one to ponder.
Do you really think there are many Aguero VCs. Doesn't seem to be any logic to it. He had the better fixture and Costa was an injury doubt
Not to mention his ownership isn't/wasn't very big
some would see costa as the better fixture though
Smarty Pants said 2.3% in the old top 10K had Costa/Aguero vc
TM mate are you getting aguero
ps - good you didnt go with cisse puntGot Welbeck so slightly better.
Depends on Costa really as he's the only way atm.
Ok thats very low. Rank shouldnt take too much of a hit
19 points plus 6% Boyds makes a big difference.
Seen a few in my leagues. And most dissapointed about it too.
Yeah. Mini league (money) leader has that.

Plenty will have went with Costa, guessing it was a start or nothing at all, with Aguero waiting in wings.
I changed off Aguero at last min when realised they were early KO, Hazard let me down tho.Even if it's not Aguero, Pelle & Welbeck did ok. AdM is the main vc choice.

A) ShawX -> Jagielka (to at least pick up Baines' CS points)
B) Fab, ShawX -> Tadic, Baines (-4)
C) If out for >2 weeks: Costa, ShawX -> Pelle, Baines (-4)Would sell Sterling over Fabregas - if you get rid of Costa the it will be hard to get him back, would keep him.
i have both welbeck & pelle & costa
not sure how/if i get aguero?
both pelel & welbeck have great fix
what are others doing to squeeze in aguero??Costa's high ownership invariably means he will help you to standstill but not climb or fall the ranks. Where is the fun in that ? Can't get too excited about owning him.
You got the bottle to take him out? What if he is back next week and you cant afford him anymore?
This
How will I not be able to afford him ? He's nearly owned by two thirds of the people playing thi game. Taking into account ghost ship players how much more can he rise ?
It's not about bottle but how you want to play the game.
That's very true. I guess the merit is not sliding down the ranking when he scores well.
more fun than being way off by not having him
I try to have a team that I think will score the most points really
regardless of ownership, he will have an impact on rank. You saying everyone that owns him will captain him or not captain him?
What would your priority be?
- Bring in Baines
- Upgrade Ulloa to WelbeckUlloa to Pelle
Can't afford unless I downgrade Sterling...
I really do hope Sterling blanks today so I can shift him to Eriksen and bring in Leighton
Is it possible to avoid a Southampton triple up short term?
I generally look at the defence separately to the attack so a Southampton defender is a must just now. Clyne or Bertrand the obvious choices and one of them find their way in to most teams.
I've been tripled up with Tadic and Pelle for a few weeks now and it finally paid off. Pelle was an obvious one, mid priced consistent goal scorer, it's a no brainer for me. No other strikers in that price bracket appeal in the same way.
Tadic has been the under the radar option I've been hoping would fire me up the league and thanks to this website and the stats I stuck by it the last few weeks. Schneiderling and Mane also offer cheap ways into a productive midfield. Now that cat is out the bag with Tadic though and he's going to be a bit of a bandwagon is the Southampton triple up going to be the norm whilst the fixtures are good?I wanted to start the season tripling up on Soton but was put off by them selling so many good players. I've added Clyne and Bertrand since and if Costa is crocked I may well be adding Pelle. Will I go for Tadic otherwise? Mulling that one over, clearly I've missed his best score of the season already
Yeah I don't expect Tadic will be rocking home with 4 assists next week. A decent haul looked on the cards with the stats behind his performances, yesterday was outstanding though. If he keeps up a level of consistency with assists and the odd goal I'm not sure how I'll get off a double of him and Pelle. They are great options in their price range making a change a far more difficult option.
Points from my 3 CHE players: 5 pts
Points from my 3 SOT players: 44 pts
No wonder I feel like ditching Terry and Hazard already...2 CHE*
Indeed but still it's way one-sided
Lol. This is why it's so hard. One blank and were all looking for the best best thing 🙂
Yeah hard to be patient but that's the name of the game 🙂
My daughter's team couldn't field 11 this week and she had 2 frees so I advised her on her transfers. Kos to Baines, Mutch to Boyd and Agbonlahor to Aguero was one option. Naturally, being a teenager, she did nothing.
But, I had got her to change her VC to Tadic earlier in the week; (C)osta. Lucky beggar, but she could have had a 100pt game!What to do?

How should I bring Baines in? I'm currently thinking DDG + Chester -> Foster + BainesGood moves imo but I'd prefer Bert/Clyne as SOT defensive cover
I think one is enough for now. 😛 plus if I go for the double up I won't be able to get tadic in if needed later.
Haha just realized you got Clyne there.
You'll want Tadic at some stage. Consider another goalie. Good luck!
Did silva to milner to bring in pelle for ulloa,and swapped costa for aguero. also hav welbeck up front. Hoping to do well.
9 years, 6 months agoIs Remy now a player to consider for the short term? (I wouldn't but interested to know...)
