Our Friday lunchtime regular arrives once again, as we take a look at the PlayON Player Price List ahead of tomorrow’s deadline. As always, we offer a couple of picks per position: one essential weekend target and a left-field alternative for your consideration.

PlayON have now extended their deadline for submitting your teams so you can now tinker with your starting XI right up until the first kick-off each week – so tomorrow that’s right up to 12.45, with Man City hosting Crystal Palace in the Gameweek’s early kick-off.

PlayON also has FREEROLL games and Guaranteed Pot games running each week for the rest of the season at www.PlayON.co .This week they have £350 in Freerolls and over £2,000 in Guaranteed Pots on offer – to get your free entry into the Freerolls just follow them on Twitter at twitter.com/PlayON and like them on Facebook at facebook.com/PlayON.

Goalkeeper – Adrian
The West Ham stopper looks an excellent value option between the posts this weekend for a home encounter with basement-dwellers Leicester. Priced at just 6.9, Adrian has conceded just twice in his last five home matches and with the visitors scoring a mere four goals on their travels all season, Big Sam’s side will be optimistic of earning another clean sheet. Man City’s home encounter with Crystal Palace cannot be ignored. With question marks hovering over Manuel Pellegrini’s back-four, we’re not prepared to take any risks here and have opted for the security of Joe Hart for the Etihad encounter – available for 8.2m, he’s conceded only once in the last four Gameweeks.

Defender – Phil Jones
Having returned from injury in the previous Gameweek, the Man United defender comes in at a very budget-friendly 7.1m for the trip to Villa Park. The Red Devils have embarked on a six-match winning run ahead of their midlands clash, shipping just three goals over that period, and bearing in mind that Paul Lambert’s side have scored only six times in front of their own fans, Louis van Gaal’s side will be optimistic of repelling their struggling hosts. Tottenham’s Ben Davies is also on our Gameweek 17 radar. Despite starting each of the last five league matches, he sets you back just 6.3m ahead of a plum home clash against Burnley – with a clean sheet and assist in his previous two, Davies offers points potential at both ends of the pitch.

Midfielders – Frank Lampard
We’re taking a punt on City’s veteran for the home clash against Palace tomorrow. Lampard took his tally to four strikes for the season last weekend – equalling Yaya Toure’s league haul – and his eye for goal in and around the box could make the difference as the champions attempt to restructure after losing all three first-team strikers to injury. Whilst Toure’s dead-ball duties hold appeal, Lampard, at a price of 7.4m to the Ivorian’s 14.3m, could prove excellent value against an Eagles defence with a single clean sheet in 10 attempts. Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen is our essential midfielder for the visit of Burnley. With three goals and a pair of assists in his last five appearances, the Dane’s revival as a Fantasy asset has been music to the ears of managers – priced at 11.0 in this week’s PlayON Player Price List, he faces a defence that have registered a single shut-out on their travels all season.

Forwards – Charlie Austin
Back after serving a one-match suspension for last Monday’s trip to Everton, the QPR top scorer will be eager to atone for lost time. Priced at just 8.6m, Austin has racked up five goals and a pair of assists in the previous four matches in front of his own fans and will fancy his chances of producing again as West Brom roll up to Loftus Road. Having overlooked Stewart Downing in the centre of the park, we turn to his West Ham team-mate Diafra Sakho to lead the line instead. Coming in at a cut-price 8.1m, the Senegal striker has scored in all but one of his six Upton Park appearances and with sidekick Andy Carroll also set to terrorise the Leicester defence, Sakho has every chance of getting amongst the goals yet again.

Head over to www.PlayON.co and get your teams in for the £350 in Freerolls and £2,000 in guaranteed pots.

    Afternoon gents, all thoughts appreciated:

    Haz fab yaya Sanchez siggy

    Costa Austin Sakho

    Fab -> silva a no brainer given city fixtures and already have triple Chelsea attack. Funds can be used to bring in chels defender next week.

    Cheers

    1. Woy
      • 11 Years

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 13 days ago

      Meh. Fab is quote consistent.
      But you're right. Since you have Haz, I guess it's a good punt.

      1. Deece
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 13 days ago

        That's the trouble! I love Fabs consistency and he has become somewhat of a differential in my mini league since his suspension. But silva playing false 9...city fixtures....hmm

  4. Woy

      1. Woy
        • 11 Years

    2. Wilshere Knowledge

          Fab !

          Can't bench Hazard

          1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 13 days ago

            Fab on fks and Corners, plus greater assist potential. Hazard on pens and is in great form. Hmm...

          2 of them represent My Christmas (Andy) Carrolls 2 goals tomorrow

          1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 13 days ago

            Haha! Hopefully assisted by Sakho 😉

            Thoughts on the team? Just trying out different transfers..

            1. Leaf
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 13 days ago

              Your team is great

    3. RD84
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 13 days ago

      I personally don't think Yaya is going to light it up the way others think he will this week, but you have to give him the shot. I'd probably bench Fab, but Sakho is the other option. I think Carroll could steal points from him over the next few weeks.

  7. RD84
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 13 days ago

    Baines/Azpi/Wisdom/Chambers/Saylor -- 1.9 ITB

    Should I stick with azpi or swap him for someone else?

    If I stick there should I swap Siggy or stick it out? They still have some good fixtures coming up, and I hate the idea of bailing before a payout...

    1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 13 days ago

      I'd stick with Azpi. Swap Siggy to Eriksen. Care to help me out above please? 🙂

      1. RD84
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 13 days ago

        Have Eriksen, but thanks. Sure

        1. RD84
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 13 days ago

          I could get Nasri or Sterling, I just think Sterling has too much pressure and is overworked and neither of those are going to change over the next two weeks!

  8. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 13 days ago

    A shame Kompany is confirmed out, that would have been a great transfer.

      1. Pap Le Cissier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 13 days ago

        Interesting, I'm debating bringing him in over Kane, RVP or Tekkers

        1. Leaf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 13 days ago

          Had same debate

          Convinced myself RVP will be rested on Boxing Day , Newcastle at home

          Tekkers , I'd want to see more form

          Kane , is very good pick ,

          Carroll leaves me enough for Boyd to Nasri / sterling next week

    I seem to be the only one thinking Lampard will play quite a bit over the next few weeks and score a few... he's been given 15-20mins most weeks recently, played as a false 9, and looks pretty lethal...

      Ha was never played as a false 9.

        No, not really... Just that whenever I've see him he's hanging out in the centre of the final third. He replaced Aguero in GW 14. He's got more or less the same average position as Yaya.

        He's scored 2 from 3 attempts in past 4 GW.

        I'd expect him to get at least 20-30 mins / match in the next 4 gameweeks, and to play through January when Yaya goes.

    Wheres the weirdest place you listened to the Scoutcast?

    I was listening to it on my iPad, and the Mrs jumped on me. It was weird listening to Granville and Mark chatting about Michu while getting it on.

      To be fair you were probably finished and redressed before it finished buffering

    Having a real selection headache this week!

    One of these lot have to be on the bench:

    Downing, Eriksen, Hazard, Fabregas, Sanchez.

    Sakho, Austin, Bony.

    Ride now I think it has to be Hazard (poor away from) or Sanchez (Liverpool away)

    But then the voice at the back of my head tells it's insane to rest one of those two!
