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.

    Clichy -> Kolarov or Zabaleta for a hit, or Welbeck -> Austin for a hit?

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 13 days ago

      Second one.

    2. COW
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 13 days ago

      Keep both imo.

    3. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 13 days ago

      Neither

    4. Deo
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 13 days ago

      Really? I'm really tempted by Austin guys, three home games in the next four gameweeks.

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

        You've clearly made up your mind already.

        1. Deo
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 13 days ago

          Not exactly. Tempted doesn't mean I will. The Math is simple, can Austin score 4 more points than Welbeck in the next two? If so, I should get him, because Welbeck will have three away games in the next four instead. If not, I should wait and get him in two weeks' time.

    Marouane Fellillni

    *gets coat*

    On another note, Kompany out. Hello Mangala

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

      Is the pun motivation confirmed?? Marouane out?

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 13 days ago

        yup, not in the squad

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

          LVG press conf. ?

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 13 days ago

            been

            Falcao 'may start'

            ADM 'may be' on the bench.

            5 injuries (Rafael, Smalling, Rojo, Lingard, Blind IMO) and 1 illness (Fellaini)

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

              Cool, was just curious whether that's where the info came from. Looks like Rooney will be sitting firmly in Midfield...

              1. JK - Cønt ⭐
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 13 days ago

                possible, hoping Herrara might get a chance. Think it depends on Mata and Falcao

                worrying as an owner though

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

                  Yeah, I own Rooney and have been deliberating with a transfer to RVP (I have the exact funds ITB). Looks like this might be the final straw.

    2. A Defender's Nightmare
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 13 days ago

      Kolarov, JK. Mangala can't avoid the ban with the way he has been playing. I'd take Kolarov's 2 starts (CPL & BUR) over Mangala's 3.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 13 days ago

        I think he can but damn it it's so damn tempting

        There is nothing to say that Kolarov WILL start this weekend, at least I know Mangala will.

  3. Costa in Wengerland
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 13 days ago

    The question is Will Zabaleta play ?

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

      Yes 100% this week

    2. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 13 days ago

      Yes.

    3. mipola
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 13 days ago

      He will play next 3 games out of 4 imo.

  4. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 13 days ago

    Bes option to replace Mirallas

    A) Barkley
    B) Downing
    C) Chadli
    D) Valencia
    E) Bolasie

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

      A or B

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

      Ooh, not thought of Valencia. But I'd still go A

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

        Sorry, B

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

      Holy crap, I didn't realize valencia was so cheap. I will definitely be pondering that. Is he likely to keep starting?

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 13 days ago

        I think so.
        But I think Rooney is enough United cover...

  5. COW
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 13 days ago

    Apart from Hart - who would you change Forster too?

    And would you take a -4 hit for it - i do know the guys above me im my ML have al taken -4 hits.

    1. CFC1990
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 13 days ago

      De Gea?

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 13 days ago

      Ddg

    3. CFC1990
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 13 days ago

      I think a 4 point hit is actually worth it if you have a non playing 2nd keeper.

  6. CFC1990
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 13 days ago

    What GW's will the ACON players miss?

    Many thanks

  8. Backonthecoupon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 13 days ago

    At a complete loss this week, been mental at work so not really up to speed. What would you do with 1 FT and this team:

    Guzan, Elliot
    Clyne, Tomkins, NTaylor, Wilson, Yun
    Sanchez, Hazard, Fabregas, Siggi, Boyd
    Costa, Rooney, Austin

    £1.4m in the bank

    Siggurdson to Eriksen/Downing?
    Fab to ADM?

    Replacement keeper or get Zaba in for Clyne/Tomkins?

    Save FT?

    Help!!!

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

      Fabregas to Yaya?

  9. Andy1
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 13 days ago

    Is it worth making a transfer?

    Heaton krul
    Chambers clyne baines wisdom Hutton
    Fabregas yaya Sanchez siggy Downing
    Costa sakho ayoze

    1.8m in the bank

  10. andres
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 13 days ago

    forster => hart is my move?

    Forster (mccarthy)
    Clyne azpi naylor (chambers moore)
    Yaya alexis hazard downing (boyd)
    Bony austin costa
    1ft, 1.9.

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

      I'd rather use the chance to shift Moore and deal with Forster next week.

  11. Professor Abel X
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 13 days ago

    Who would you play out of this lot?
    Wisdom (qpr) Bertrand (EVE) Baines (sot) Naylor (hul) Chambers (liv)

    All seem to me as unlikely as each other to keep a clean sheet. I'm currently on the first 3.

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

      Middle 3 for me

  12. Mak_Gold
      11 years, 13 days ago

      Repost: What moves would you make with this team? Or would you save the FT?

      Pantilimon,
      Baines, Clyne, N. Taylor,
      Hazard, Sanchez, Downing, Sigurdsson,
      Costa. Rooney, Austin.

      Subs: Krul, Boyd, Wisdom, Chambers.

      1 FT, £3.2m in the bank.

      Cheers.

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

        Rooney to RVP

      2. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 13 days ago

        Clyne to Zaba maybe?

        1. Mak_Gold
            11 years, 13 days ago

            Why not Baines to Zabaleta?

            1. Beavis
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 13 days ago

              I'm keeping Baines myself.

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

        Really dont know what to do this week. Have Guzan so should really upgrade Elliot but only have 0.6. Tempted to go for Panty but cant see him keeping a clean sheet. Alternative is to sell Baines and get someone better for -4 (Hart and Terry). But that seems wrong with Mirralas out and Baines being attacking option again.

        Guzan (elliot)

        Bertand, Baines, Wisdom (Yun, Hutton)
        Sanchez, Hazard, Downing, Eriksen (Boyd)
        Costa, Austin , RVP

        Any thoughts?

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

          I'd save, and captain RVP

      4. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 13 days ago

        No closer to deciding transfers or captaincy.

        1. Captain Shirokov
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 13 days ago

          Random number generator.

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

          i think I'm further than I have been all week at this point.

      5. Iain Dowies Love Child
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 13 days ago

        Have Bony and Siggy - thinking of doing Siggy & Sterling to Nasri & Eriksen for -4 - good moves?

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

          I'm trying to decide between Nasri and Silva, but yeah, that looks good to me.

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

        Would you rather have

        A) Baines

        B) Zabaleta

        until the New year?

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 13 days ago

          I would get Zaba if I were getting one in but I wouldn't switch A to B imo

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

            Interesting, why not? Would allow me to get Eriksen too if that helps.

            1. Beavis
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 13 days ago

              Just not sure it's worth a transfer this week, could be wrong though.

        2. FPLEL
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 13 days ago

          Assuming Mirallas in back next GW - Zaba.

      7. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 13 days ago

        All this fawning over Terry 'Enry on SSN is getting on my wick. Cringeworthy.

      8. Pringle
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 13 days ago

        Who can Ben Davies potentially lose his spot to? Is that a likely scenario?

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 13 days ago

          Rose and maybe.

        2. boredjames
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 13 days ago

          Dier I think. And it is not entirely unlikley.

        3. Baggers
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 13 days ago

          I'd stay clear of Spurs, only nailed on option at the moment seems Vert

        4. Pringle
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 13 days ago

          Ok thanks all!

        Kolarov or Managla? Kolarov or Managla? Kolarov or Managla? Kolarov or Managla? Kolarov or Managla?

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 13 days ago

          Neither, maybe Zaba

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 13 days ago

            would rather not pay the extra

            Mangala is nailed but the 4 ycs is the worry

        2. Baggers
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 13 days ago

          Clichy or Zaba before those for me

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 13 days ago

            Chasing a Clichy owner so he's out, no Zaba for me

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

          Hart, really the best ManC cover.

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 13 days ago

            but out of the question when I have a playing keeper and a non-playing defender

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

              Aye, but I would ignore rest of them. Cresswell is an option for you.

              1. JK - Cønt ⭐
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 13 days ago

                Next 2 after this are massively off putting and West Ham haven't been as solid this season.

                It's a tough call. I have Dawson so needs to go and I can afford literally anyone (I have Baines)

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

                  I'm very glad having Ivan in my team. Chelsea def comes in handy overall.

      10. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 13 days ago

        I need convincing to buy a striker. Totally stuck. Has anyone listed the pros and cons of the main contenders?

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

          Well, best options for me:

          Austin, RvP, Sakho, Lukaku, Bony.

          1. Defcons are for Kinnear
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 13 days ago

            Think I might plunge in the deep end and get RVP

            1. Defcons are for Kinnear
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 13 days ago

              No. Can't afford him. Sakho hmmmm

            2. MicNoc
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 13 days ago

              If money is not an issue it's the right way to go imho. I've decided to skip him (have Austin, Lukaku and Sakho), but it was a very hard call (and maybe a bad one too).

            Where are you getting Yaya info, that will never happen

              11 years, 13 days ago

              There probably is no info, and he is not getting it from anywhere. That's the deal.

        The players on the suspension tightrope- how many games do they need to navigate it- 3 or 4?

        Get rid of Clyne or Chambers first?

          • 13 Years

          Clyne, they still have god awful fixtures coming up, plus it gives you more value to use.

        Does Falcao coming back make RVP a worse prospect?

          No

            11 years, 13 days ago

            Ok, anyone willing to try to argue why his recent form could be a flash in the pan or more sustained over the next few weeks/months?

          Well you'd think he's defo gonna lose minutes on the pitch. When Di Maria is back I think that might be the safer option if you want Utd cover

        Nasri or Silva?

        Straight to the point. Thoughts?

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 13 days ago

          Which one will play false 9?

          1. Pav A Nice Day
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 13 days ago

            No idea, but i'd guess Silva because he's Spanish and slightly more suited to that position

            1. Camp No No
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 13 days ago

              Guesses ain't good enough. I need some serious information, and will choose the one who plays false 9. If it it Milner, then it is Milner. If it is Hart's mum, then it is fecking Hart's mum. But that's who I am going to get.

        2. Baggers
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 13 days ago

          for me YYT or none

          If I had to pick one from thise I'd go Silva

          1. Pav A Nice Day
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            11 years, 13 days ago

            I'm 0.1 short of Yaya, would need a hit

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

              Personally, if I were going to go for Toure, I'd believe that a hit would be worth it, though I don't 🙂

        3. A Defender's Nightmare
          • 13 Years

          Silva. Much better player.

          I want to do a Clichy Zaba double up and my other defenders are
          Azpili, Zaba, Hutton, and Duff
          I fear I might fall short of a defender.
