    Can anyone offer me some wise words on whether Yaya should be transfered out to...
    A) Sanchez
    B) ADM
    C) Other (who?)

      The Sanchize

      Sanchez.l

    3. Wouter

      11 years, 17 days ago

      Sanchez or Fabregas for me until WC at least. Haven't seen enough of ADM yet to feel comfortable owning him next GW already.

    4. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      Sanchez. Or ADM. But get Sanchez on WC.

  4. Jimbo123

    Chaps (and ideally Arsenal fans)....how likely is it that Giroud will spend some of this season on the bench with Danny/Alexis up top?

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      not an arsenal fan... but from what I have seen of them this year, giroud has looked so much more threatening than welbeck. I would say that giroud is higher in the pecking order

    2. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      As soon as Giroud came back (from injury) he was put straight into team with Welbeck AND Sanchez. Question is who will Walcott replace....

      1. Jimbo123
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 17 days ago

        Giroud or Cazorla?

        1. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 17 days ago

          Cazorla for now but long term I can't see Welbeck keeping his spot, what happens when Ozil, Ramsey and Wilshere come back?

          1. Jimbo123
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 17 days ago

            Welbeck
            Sanchez, Ozil, Theo

            ???

            1. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 17 days ago

              That team is rapid! I like Welbz but Giroud is better.

  7. Parm

    • 14 Years
    11 years, 17 days ago

    Thoughts on Sturridge @ £11.1m?

    Really can't see any other premium striker i'd fancy owning on my WC bar Aguero.

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      wait at least 3 weeks to make sure he doesn't re-injure himself

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      So get Aguero and get "value" strikers. If they're not worth the money, don't buy.

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 17 days ago

        Boring.

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 17 days ago

          Your team. Just offering simple advice.

    3. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      Too big of a risk given all his injuries this season

    4. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      Not sure Parm, you fancy owning an £11.1 million striker who has been laid up with two serious thigh injuries this season? I can see another injury happening unfortunately.

      Either way, I'd be giving it a good deal of time first. Might be a slow comeback to form.

    5. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      I Want him.

    6. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      He's been injured a long time bro. It'll be softly softly when he comes back, and who can say he'll bring his shooting boots straight away?

    7. Kshitiz Basnet
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      Will probably buy Sturridge if be is back

    8. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      A resounding no then...

  8. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 17 days ago

    Panti // Foster
    Terry // Bertrand // Debuchy // Lescott // PVA
    Sanchez // Hazard // Fabregas //ADM // Boyd
    Austin // RVP // Kane

    How do I get Chadli? Or don't I? 😕

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      That's a good enough front 8 without him to be honest.

    2. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      Think it'd have to be Cesc who makes way. Probably not worth it, especially this week.

  9. Kshitiz Basnet
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 17 days ago

    Which 3 players would u choose to start?
    Wisdom vs Hull ( Home )
    Cissokho vs Leicester ( Away )
    Caulker vs Burnley ( Away )
    Ward vs Spurs ( Home )
    Taylor vs West Hame ( Home )

    1. Crinix
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      Cissoko/wisdom

      1. Kshitiz Basnet
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 17 days ago

        That's 2

    2. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      Wisdom.

      Cissokho.

      Discount Taylor.

      Flip a coin on the other two.

      1. Kshitiz Basnet
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 17 days ago

        Currently on Wisdom Cissokho and Caulker.. Have Kane so it's either Ward to keep CS or Kane to get points.. Not sure on Taylor

        1. t4thomas
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 17 days ago

          Actually, Ward has a new manager. Start him.

  10. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 17 days ago

    Falcao (£5m): Games started: 5 Goals: 3
    Suarez (£75m) Games started: 9 Goals: 1

    So, does Brendan get any credit for getting the best out of Suarez last season? Suarez looked lost last night for Barca.

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      Your numbers don't add up. Why is Falcao £5m?

      1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 17 days ago

        yeah should be 6 for the loan fee. just copy and pasted from twitter.
        more interested by suarez

      2. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 17 days ago

        Loan fee

    2. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      He seems to have lost his touch during his four months out, lost a yard of pace by the looks of things. Luis Enrique also isn't helping, tactically inept, trying out 3-4-3, numerous variants of 4-3-3, none of which really combining Neymar, Suárez and Messi together.

      1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 17 days ago

        lost a yard... interesting

        combining those three was always going to be a mare

        1. Parm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 17 days ago

          Yeah, going from playing to a counter attacking high tempo Liverpool side to a possession based Barcelona where pace isn't really a factor has been a big change for him, still adapting of course but the early signs really aren't great.

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      He certainly hasn't looked remotely worth the money...

  11. Woy of the Wovers
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 17 days ago

    In my latest chapter of Russell Brand's book, I'm less inclined to think of him as a freakish attention-seeking power-hungry monster. It'll pass, I'm sure.

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 17 days ago

        So he's a big fan of subsidised housing. But who's paying for it? Not Brand.

        1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 17 days ago

          rather have someone sticking up for the poor than sticking the boot in i.e. sol campbell

          1. Woy of the Wovers
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 17 days ago

            The poor tenants aren't being help in this case. If the incentives for developing or improving and area are removed, there'll be no improvements. Fewer houses mean more expensive houses or a more deprived area. It's a high cost for a few people who could move somewhere more affordable.

        😀 I would never do that with claret and blue, no matter what.

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 17 days ago

          Not even if you had a terrible dose of the squits and the only choice was claret and blue triple quilted Andrex or duct tape? Phew, fair play EF!

        That's the idea 😎

      Yep. Have seen some with Arsenal on it before.

  14. Richd
    • 13 Years

    My WC is active and I'm considering Chadli in for Downing.

    No brainer ?!

    1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years

      Do it.

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 17 days ago

        Chadli and Kane double up seems gross. But I guess form and value wins.

    2. Point Magnets

  17. Hammers Select
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 17 days ago

    AnyBody else thinking Costa is due a massive score soon.

    As a player he is improving all the time. Against spurs in the first half was up there with the best i have ever seen him play. Seems to becoming a team player and sooner or later a brace or hat trick will follow!

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 17 days ago

      He'll get one but he's not due one

    2. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I will have sold him by then.

        • 14 Years

        Am happy with my Azpil, Fab and Haz triple. Would be happier if Fab stopped getting carded and Haz was to score from pens he ought to have got, right enough...

  18. Nerazzuro

    Chances of ADM starting this weekend?

    Thinking of doing Yaya > ADM

    1. Point Magnets

      very good i would think

      Heaton Panti
      Terry Bertrand Tripper PvA ***

      Ings Kane RVP

      A: Lescott and Johnson

      B: Wisdom and Chadli

        B

      2. Point Magnets

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Double Burnley and Sunderland. Sure about that?

        1. Jay_
            11 years, 17 days ago

            I'm confident they will do well over the next 6 game weeks, great rotation, Trippier can easily be swapped after and Heaton to Foster in 6 weeks , just a 6 week double up

            1. t4thomas
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 17 days ago

              Sure?

              Wanna meet back here in 6 weeks?

      4. Sickboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 17 days ago

        Help please:-

        A) Silva & Boyd

        Or

        B) Siggy & Coutinho

        Thanks.

        1. Point Magnets
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 17 days ago

          A. Silva and Boyd but would prefer Fabs, ADM, Haz and Sanch over Silva.

        2. Jay_
            11 years, 17 days ago

            A, and then when Kun is back downgrade Silva to Siggy ( nice Swans fixtures) to fund Kun

        3. Point Magnets
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 17 days ago

          my dilemma is yet to be resolved.

          WC is active..

          A. Rooney and Fabs

          or

          B. Costa and Di Maria

          Im leaning towards A because Rooney has blanked the last 2 gwks and i believe he is due a good points return. I also feel despite his deep role, he will flourish more when ADM returns in CM allowing him to possibly push forward more.

          Fabregas is unbelievably consistant and has been excellent all season and is currently outscoring Costa. In that sense i feel i dont really need costa as Fabs is just as prolific with his point returns.

          Hmm what shall i do?

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 17 days ago

            A because that's the one you want.

          Thinking of doing Yaya (out) - Siggy (in), any reason not to get Siggy?

              It's only short term as will obviously have to play jan wc soon, next 3 swansea fixtures are good though...

                So you want him until the WC, or from the WC?

          Van Gaal on Rooney place in his team: "I don’t know if I shall use him always because it’s dependable of the form of the strikers." #MUFC

          https://twitter.com/kpsundayworld/status/552235695524556804

          realised he isn't that great in midfield after all and if Falcao/RVP start scoring regularly he could be dropped?

            Aye, he's changed his tune.

              I thought he is his captain and will always play no?

            I think it means he will not akways play as mid

            Is he not talking a out using him as CM? Makes more sense to me.

          Guessing Gerrard won't get that attacking role again ðŸ™

          Balotelli
          Coutinho Sterling
          Moreno Henderson Lucas Manquillo
          Sakho Skrtel Can

          Seems sensible. Such a young side!
