        Glad to see normality is resumed 😀

      And that would be disastrous!!

      Unless his yellow flag disappears before Friday i would guess so

      1. Twelve years a slave

        What percentage was he on at fpl stats

        1. Joggers Nipple

          -103% I think?

      But, that's the best part!
      Original owners can watch him fall .3mil altogether & only lose .1mil in the process.
      Decent price to pay to see if he's fit for Utd, right?

  2. The Finnisher
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    If Di Maria and Costa are out;

    This week - ADM/Costa > Sanchez/Lukaku
    Next week - Sigurdsson > Eriksen

    Feck yo' template.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I think i am right with you.....but i Vowed never to bring in Lukaku ever again....and here i am.

      What do you think of Benteke instead?

      1. The Finnisher
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        He has just been so average for so long...Lukaku so unreliable though. Hopefully Costa is OK 🙂

          Actually Villa have only scored 4 goals in 8 weeks. Might have to pass on him..........ugh i do not want to have to back into Lukakakakau

              • 13 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              Yeah his next 3 are excellent.

  3. Pomp and Circumstance

    plan to bring in Baines and Pelle; also need to change Larsson to a midfielder for 5.4 or less--who do you recommend for that 5th midfield spot?

    1. Pomp and Circumstance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      best 5th midfielder options? 5.4 or less

    2. The Shoonchy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      5.4m or less last night, Mo Diame
      Now is 5.5

  4. Venom Snake
    • 11 Years

    408k last week, 41k this week 😎

        Triple Sunderland and West Ham D was for effect.

        This is about change. Get in, Jack.

  6. EmreCan Hustle
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Was there a Mourinho presser yesterday? No word on Costa? It's weird when the National coach says its nothing and suddenly he's missing 2 games and struggling to make the 3rd.

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      He'll be back for United game.

      1. Canadian Football
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Did he say that?

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          No. But so far he's only out for Maribor game. No definite word but no one from Chelsea has said his injury is so bad that he'll be out for a few weeks.

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      If Mourinho says a player is doubtful right before a big game then I'm inclined to be suspicious, particularly when that player is someone like Costa who will definitely play if it is in any way possible.

      Unless we hear for sure that he's out then I'm assuming he'll play.

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      In my honest opinion Costa just needed a rest. Mourinio blows it up into something serious. This means that if they had dropped points at Palace or do drop in Champs League its not Mourinios fault as Costa is 'injured'. If he told the 'truth', that he decided to rest Costa and points were drop Mourinio would get grief and hes way to vain and pompous for that.

      1. Canadian Football
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Logical

      2. EmreCan Hustle
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        This makes sense in a Mourinho sort of way 😉
        My only concern was that last time Costa skipped the international duty entirely, but this time actually played both games for Spain.

  7. Sadio come here often?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    People have been saying there are so many options to choose from at the moment, is it because players who have been performing well (over-performing??) over the first 8 game weeks could be entering into a downward trend of points (siggy, fab, etc), while there are others who are now starting to enter a purple patch (eriksen, Sanchez, etc)??

    1. Sadio come here often?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      If last years stats, and law of averages are anything to go by, we could be seeing a shake up to the template. Now to determine if you want to be proactive or reactive.

    What happen to Di Maria?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Subbed off in the 76th minute and then had a ice pack strapped to his thigh I think.

  9. Sol
    • 9 Years

    the total score for Ulloa is 1 but his given 2 why is that

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Given 2 where?
      Captain maybe?

      1. Holman will score
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        (Vc) to Costa maybe

  10. Twelve years a slave
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Am i right in thinking costa need at least 200000. Transfers out before his next fall, probably more

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yellow flags are overrated. Red flag would have more power.
      Should be something like that.

    2. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      something like that number, yes

    3. Diva
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Who knows. Based on previous season and earlier this season, I thought he would need around 500,000 out before his first drop - but that was clearly way out!

  11. Diva
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Billy, what made you think Costa might fall today?

  12. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Who to start?

    A) Downing (MCI)
    B) Hutton (qpr)

    Thanks

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years

      A

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Hmm food for thought. I was thinking of Hutton

  13. Pomp and Circumstance
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    bring in Milner? or who would you recommend for 5th midfielder, 5.4 or less?

    1. SöundLight 30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I brought in Milner last week. He has some good stats, and in watching the game last week, he looked very active. Came very close to scoring as well. I'm going to play him the next few game weeks.

  14. HurriKane
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Wisdom trolling me. Benched him for spurs and now united gets a clean sheet and assist 🙁

    1. Venom Snake
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      What game were you watching?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Spurs CS, United assist.

        1. Venom Snake
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          I see.

    2. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah but this was the week when people stopped moaning about their first sub scoring well at least! It was also the week I got burned for having such a bad bench

  15. Gr3g
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Imagine... Costa 90 mins coming GW and Aguero on the bench 😀
    Would be another funny GW and I have both 🙂

  16. Alexe
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone has any update on Ben Foster? I couldn't find the news anywhere yet, hopefully he'll be fit for next week. Won't be looking forward to playing Krul again.

  17. The Finnisher
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    How'd United play anyway? In particular ADM, RVP...

    1. laGan1n1
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      ADM was solid, RVP standardly poor

      1. The Finnisher
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        That's what I like to hear 🙂

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Shaw was also very poor. Costa and Aguero vs that defense should enjoy themselves over the next two weeks

      1. The Finnisher
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Really hope Costa is fit. United next then QPR at home...two games where he could really punish sellers.

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Saw a Man U fan write this

          'It's the most unbalanced team I've ever seen. They have attacking talent that is almost, but not quite, as good as Barcelona's and Real Madrid's and a defence that is almost, but not quite, as good as Crystal Palace's or Burnley's'.

          1. The Finnisher
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            😆

            Although I think they are a way off Barca and Madrid!

            1. Not Irish
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              We're really not. And still, it's the midfield killing us.

              1. The Finnisher
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                You are. If each player was at their peak (and LvG picked the best team) then maybe, but they aren't. Only Di Maria would get into the Barca/Madrid side.

                1. Not Irish
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 11 months ago

                  😆 Falcao and Rooney would walk into both sides.

                  1. The Finnisher
                    • 13 Years
                    9 years, 11 months ago

                    Never seen such a delusional fan on here. This is why I stay away from Twitter and fan forums 😆

                    1. Not Irish
                      • 11 Years
                      9 years, 11 months ago

                      As do I. 😆

                      anybody walks in or not, the guy in the picture never will :p

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      ADM was brilliant until he had to be subbed off. Rvp was poor and selfish, but he did hit the post once.

    4. HurriKane
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      ADM was impressive as usual RVP didnt take his chances hit the post late on

    5. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Rafael and Jones were poor. Fellaini and Di Maria carried the only attacking threat. Rest were average.

    6. The Finnisher
      • 13 Years

      Thanks all..Wish I watched it 🙂

    Henderson and Costa > Eriksen and Lukaku for me this week

  19. Bests Conquests

    Any help lads? been over in America seeing my family. I did the template team for my WC a few weeks ago to good results.

    Forster - Heaton
    Duff - van Aanholt - NTaylor - Wisdom - Chambers
    ADM - Fabregas - Siggy - Schneiderlein - Boyd
    Costa - Lukaku - Aguero

    2FT, £0.1 in bank.

      Seems an expensive rotating pair of GKs. You would probably need to address your DEF, however Chambers, Naylor, Wisdom all have home fixtures - so should get you through this GW.

  20. Diva
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Rooney NTO before first drop: ~330,000
    Costa NTO before first drop: ~60,000

    😯

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Where are you getting these figures from?

      1. Diva
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        FPL website.

    2. The Finnisher
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Mourinho doesn't realise these mind games are costing us precious team value.

    3. Venom Snake
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Rooney was red flagged no?

      1. Diva
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        IIRC, yes, he was. I thought the flag was all that mattered, not the colour of said flag. Hmmm.

      2. Diva
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Even without a flag before tonight I would have expected it to take an NTO of around 200,000 to trigger a price drop on Costa, based on the historical operation of price changes.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Players who have risen have different factors on them unlike RVP last season. Almost impossible for Costa to drop to a reasonable price otherwise.

          1. Diva
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            Thanks TM. Is there evidence for this, beyond Costa's drop tonight?

          2. Costa Nostra
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 11 months ago

            Why should he drop to a reasonable price? So the last 1/3 can afford him? If you missed the boat then too bad. It should be even on how many drops based on ownership it takes for a rise/fall. No way Costa should drop after only 60k dropped him.

  21. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Last Man Standing safety score around the 42-45 mark.

  22. Sardines in the Sea
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Had a solid week...98 pts. Was thinking about the following moves for a -4 hit. Any opinions would be welcomed.

    Begovic> Howard
    ADM> Sanchez- would bring back ADM week 11 or 12
    Clyne > Chambers

    Current team|
    Begovic, Mcarthy
    Clyne, Bertrand, Baines, Taylor, Duff
    Fabregas, ADM, Siggy, Sterling, Boyd
    Berahino, Costa, Aguerro

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe Begovic > Lloris?

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Depending on when you bought adm I think it's crazy to sell if only to bring him back in 3 weeks!

  23. HurriKane
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Im I the only one who thinks sterling will be rested next week with ucl second leg on the horizon. With Hull at home BR may start markovic or coutinho instead

    1. The Finnisher
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Rodgers doesn't have the luxury.Plus did Sterling not get his 'rest' in the International break? Does he really need another.

      1. HurriKane
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        .4 games in the space of 10 days and your the main man where everyone's looking for the spark For a 19 year old kid surely that too much isnt it ??

        1. HurriKane
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          *regardless of the international break

      2. Not Irish
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Most fragile being I can remember in football if so.

      3. Joggers Nipple
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Have to agree with JOA. At QPR Sterling was their only real creative, attacking spark. It is a sad state of affairs for Pool but they cannot afford to rest him due to the dross Rodgers has splashed all that Suarez cash on

      I have a feeling he will be rested more often from now on as most of their mids are fully fit now...
      I know he is probably best what they got now and will try to play him as much as possible but Rogers wouldn't want him to get to state of fatigue and will rest him for easier games?

        hull at home counts as an easy game right

      I don't think it is worth resting players for real Madrid when they are likely to lose anyway. Top 4 is something they need badly

      1. HurriKane

        Gets into champions league after a long time. Surely they would want to give their best n to do that they need their best player fresh and fit. In the league they have 30 games left to go

        I think the point of being in CL to do your best and get fas as you can, especially for "Big" team like Liverpool after being out for sometime...
        Otherwise what's the point of being in top 4

        1. Scoredelario
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah but not to the extent they will rest players in the prem. Just my opinion anyway

    4. FPL_Crisis

      Definitely possible depends how he pulls up after Real Madrid game
      Saturday vs Hull as well so could be rested
      Also depends if BR plays 2 strikers (he won't be surely has to as balo can't play lone striker)

    Hi guys, great GW but my defense let me down...again!

    Who would you keep out of this lot?

    Hutton Wisdom Moore Duff

    Thinking of bringing Jagielka in this week, already have Clyne.

    Thanks.

      wisdom n duff keep id say

      1. Your Mum Zohore
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        At the rate that Burnley are going, coupled with their fixtures, it's hard to see Duff getting any CSs anytime soon.

        Hutton plays QPR next and he does provide some attacking runs at times...

    2. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I'd say Wisdom and Hutton are keepers. Duff and Moore first for the chop, in any order that pleases you.

      1. Your Mum Zohore
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Yup was thinking the same, would probably to Duff => Jagielka this week

      It's tough with that group you have. Everyone here was screaming for cheap D only a few weeks ago, now they're screaming that the most expensive are mandatory. It's like the stock market, by the time you read or hear about what is being done, the big fish are already swimming the other way.

      1. Your Mum Zohore
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Exactly! But what I lack in defense I've surely made up for it in attack, that being said, I need to beef it up a bit. I'll be happy with mid-priced defenders.

    what to do any advise please

    ADM > Sanchez (-4)
    ADM > Tadic (-4)
    Or Wait

    Krul

    Wisdom , Hutton , Baines sub (Duff, Wilson)

    ADM, Sigge, Fab, Stirling

    Costa, Welbeck, Aguro

    .05 In the bank

    1. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Wait IMO. But Sanchez in does look awful tempting.

      Berahino and not just because I'm a baggie 🙂

    Rooney is criminally underrated. Hilarious how he gets dogged here yet within two weeks of him being back he'll be the main wagon.

    1. Injury Prone o_O Gooner.
      • 15 Years

      Not really underrated then is he?

      1. Not Irish
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        To read the every day comments here and in the media absolutely he is.

          Compared to who? defo better value out there fpl wise has to be said.

            Not really talking about fantasy. In general he is under appreciated. Mostly because most let their opinion of him affect their judgement of him as a player.

              • 15 Years
              9 years, 11 months ago

              Maybe his England record doesnt help him to be fair and does seem to under achieve. Plus his new deeper role is much less eye catching.

              1. Not Irish
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 11 months ago

                I get frustrated with him as well, although admittedly I don't really get into international football as much. But the point is that all he does is produce. He hasn't lived up to his lofty expectations but he's still a machine.

                  I obviously havnt read some of the comments you mention, not overly aware of ppl "criminally underrating" him tbh especially not fpl wise.

                  Spose he is cracking on, a bit past his prime tho.

    Last night West Brom supporters were singing something like " next year you'll all be Chelsea fans", anyone care to explain what that means?

    1. The Finnisher

      Chelsea are planning a financial takeover of Man United.

      Man Utd supporters have no allegiance and only support successful clubs.
