    Right. Transfers done. And there are a few ... 😀

      Oooh..do tell..

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…

        10 years, 17 days ago

        Ivanovic to Baines
        Sterling to Sánchez
        Welbeck to Berahino.

        Last money push - points all the way, after this.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 12 Years

          Nice..I take it you went Berahino because of Sakho's injury ?

          I ditched Ivan as well today...

            10 years, 17 days ago

            No. Berahino's form is marginally better. And his price prospects are much better.

            1. Dr Dream
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 17 days ago

              I like them both tbh...excellent..Both of them will be 8.0 players next season...

                10 years, 17 days ago

                btw Welbeck will obviously score now. You should back his first, last, anytime, brace, hatrick... the lot

                  Aye. 😆 Buggeration.

                    Might as well make some money from your FPL misery!

          2. John Obi Wan Mikel
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 17 days ago

            Why the Ivan transfers? He has QPR next week and played very well today..

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 17 days ago

              He has been red carded ...

                • 10 Years
                10 years, 17 days ago

                He won't be missing QPR tho

                Serving his match ban in the league cup match bro... :L

          The last two weren't at all necessary.

            Now, that is where I disagree with you. 🙂

            And the first was? Ivan should outscore Baines this week. I like the Sanchez trade tho myself Doos.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

              Ivanovic is now suspended.

                For the league cup.

                For Capital One cup match (see scout tweets)

                • 10 Years
                10 years, 17 days ago

                only for midweek cup game no?

                10 years, 17 days ago

                10 years, 17 days ago

                You realise I anoxic is playing the QPR game he is serving his ban in the midweek match

            2. Not Irish
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 17 days ago

              Baines is a far better pick. Just look at Ivan's returns of late. Typical hot start from him and he's now tailed off as per.

              1. djenzio
                • 10 Years
                10 years, 17 days ago

                he is better pick but not when Chelsea have QPR at home

        3. Tatty Bojangles
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 17 days ago

          No Chelsea cover vs QPR?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 17 days ago

            I may wildcard. Otherwise no.

        4. Parm
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 17 days ago

          I'm doing the last two too, and you're a tad late on the first trade. 😉

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 17 days ago

            Nope. Just unlucky with a crappy ref.

            1. Parm
              • 12 Years

              Ha ha, Dowd did well to get us a point 😎

      • 13 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      I admire your courage. Am contemplating an extreme midfield makeover myself. Haven't taken a hit all season but a -8 might just do the trick...

      1. AH 🙂
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        tell me ya team ? im downgrading pelle 🙁

        1. djenzio
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 17 days ago

          i would keep Pelle. just watched highlights from game and Pelle very unlucky not to score 2 or 3.

        2. tm245
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 17 days ago

          Agree with this. Keep Pelle imo.

          ADM Siggy Sterling on the chopping block for me.

          1. djenzio
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 17 days ago

            also Pelle has good fixtures coming up.

  2. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    (Lost on last page...)

    Could I get anyone's gut instincts please?

    A) Sterling + Costa > Mane + Aguero
    B) ADM + Schlupp > Sanchez + Wisdom
    C) Ivan + Costa > Bertrand + Aguero

    I feel A) would avoid price decreases, B) would get me a playing defender and in-form mid, and C) would seem reckless in getting rid of Chelsea boys for players in form (although if Costa decreases it will be easy to get them both back in easily).

    Any help appreciated!

    1. daveoafc77
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Gut feeling C. Think its worth taking Costa on. Sterling and Di Maria have points coming and Sanchez (while looking dangerous) has a few tough games coming up

    2. Adams6
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      B for me, keep cfc

  3. Charlie&TheLads
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    Shock, horror but I have ended up with no Chelsea players!?!?!
    So......pick one.....
    Leaning towards Hazard but debating against Oscar and Cesc aswell. And of course Costa.
    FYI 50k in case you think I'm an idiot, which I probably am....!

    1. daveoafc77
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Hazard will surely get his due soon. Always looks so dangerous, points have to come soon!

      1. Charlie&TheLads
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        Looked very impressive today. Just unlucky! Cesc just seems like an assist machine.

    2. Mulla
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Hard to look past Cesc he's Mr Consistent, season keeper I reckon. I'm also 50k ,gone from 450k the past two weeks 🙂

    3. MadridistaRants
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Oscar's too inconsistent for my liking. Not sure how long Costa is out.

      Hazard or Fab is a coin toss tbh. Pick one & stick.

      1. Charlie&TheLads
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        Agree, that's I think truthfully where I'm at.........haz or Cesc. I'm just thinking with costa uncertainty, hazard will begin to press and rake up the points.

        Maybe I have my answer after all!

      2. djenzio
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        oscar better against lesser teams so could get a big haul next week

        1. Charlie&TheLads
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 17 days ago

          Ahhhhhhh...
          no I agree. He does seem to shine in those games.
          What's really attracted me to Hazard is that he seem the only one who is due a goal fest, particularly with the quality he is currently displaying. You can all have a laugh if my decision backfires against QPR but I'm going with hazard.

    1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 11 Years

      FFF doesn't have costa dropping tonight?

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…

      Man alive

  4. Adams6
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    Sterling and begovic to Elliott and Hazard?

    Krul begovic
    Wisdom hutton duff baines bertrand
    Fab sterling tadic siggy boyd
    Costa kun pelle

    Too much CFC?

  5. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    Really want baines but only way of affording him would b straight swap for Ivan or downgrade sterling to Hendo r Chadli r similar. Any thoughts?

    1. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      If you really want him, then straight swap with Ivan. But qpr at home for Ivan next... So i'm not so sure

    2. djenzio
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      swap him for Ivan after QPR game

      1. Charlie&TheLads
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        Ahem...red card...ahem three game ban........
        So straight swap seem like a no brainer

        1. The Shadow
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 17 days ago

          1 game, banned for mid-week cup.

  6. Amateur Pundit Zan
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    A repost from me as well

    My planned moves this week are siggy + Cahill > dummett + Sanchez (2ft)

    I know Cahill at home to QPR highly likely clean sheet but having him and baines unbalance my team and this is the week to get Sanchez.

    Good moves?

    Krul, foster
    Baines, chambers, wisdom, Hutton, cahill*
    Sterling, tadic, Chadli, siggy*, wanyama
    Aguero, Costa, pelle

    1. daveoafc77
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Don't see many points from Dummett but having Sanchez may work out

      1. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        He would rotate with wisdom and Hutton mostly so that's ok

  7. Hyperion
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    What's the better downgrade?

    A) Costa -> Pelle/Welbz
    B) Siggy -> Boyd

    1. daveoafc77
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Boyd shouldn't be in any starting XI so I guess A

      1. Hyperion
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        He'll be bench fodder, I just need the money.

  8. dush64
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    Mannone (Krul)
    Baines Naylor Wisdom (Duff, Moore)
    ADM Sterling Siggy Tadic (Marney)
    Aguero Pelle Costa

    1FT, 0.1 ITB

    What to do with this lot? Doubts over Costa Siggy and Marney, thinking of Sterling out too to get Arsenal cover for BUR.

    A) Costa --> Welbeck?
    B) Sterling and Costa --> Sanchez and Welbeck/other striker? (-4)
    C) Something else?

  9. AH 🙂
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    Am I crazy to downgrade Pelle --> Berhano/Sakho , and then upgrade Siggy/Sterling to Sanchez/Haz ?

    1. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      That's tough... Pelle is on fire. Wouldn't want to ship him personaly...

    2. Hyperion
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Getting rid of Pelle does seem a bit mad, he's such a threat. Do you have Tadic?

      1. AH 🙂
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        No mate

        1. Hyperion
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 17 days ago

          Then definitely hold him. Find the money somewhere else if you can.

          1. AH 🙂
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 17 days ago

            Help. 1 FT and 0.1 itb
            Guzan (Krul)
            Baines Clyne Wisdom (PVA , Dummet)
            Di Maria , Schneiderlin , Siggy , Sterling (Cattermole)

      1. AH 🙂
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        Its tempting tho IMO . my midfield is a SHAMBLES

    4. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Keep pelle

    5. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Madness to sell Pelle now.

      In a few weeks once his fixtures take a nasty turn though? A few blanks around then and it'll be very tempting....

    6. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…

    7. djenzio

      see above. keep Pelle. i would rather own Pelle over both Haz and Sanchez.

      1. AH 🙂
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        Its tempting tho IMO

  10. Ross Geller
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    Shameless repost (but i really need HELP)
    I know multiple tranfers for minus points are not popular here, but... (2FT so for -8)

    Coloccini (awful) --> Chambers
    Sterling (Pool off form) --> Hazard(c)
    Chadli (not reliable) --> Sanchez
    Costa (i just can't wait for another 0.3 fall) --> Sakho/Berahino

    All new players in form and/or good fixtures and Costa falling and Alexis & Berahino rising tonight... So 0.3 swing tonight

    I'm sooo tempted... What do you think?

    1. daveoafc77
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      I've seen worse -8's

    2. Hyperion
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Go Berahino due to Sakho injury but yeah that looks pretty tasty. Do it and pray Costa doesn't get a hat-trick.

      1. Ross Geller
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        Oh sure i will 🙂 Thanks!

    Please choose one option if you don't mind.

        Why? One is cheap and on fire and the other one expensive, falling in price and injured

      Hmmm just afraid Sanchez price could soar beyond my reach. C) doesn't leave me much cash to improve elsewhere

        10 years, 17 days ago

        On the other hand remember you have Welbeck and Theo is not far from returning.

    Would love a second opinion on this! What do you guys think? A must be done to get the exact money for Sanchez. B is great but I'm not too sold on Berahino, still he's only 5.8M. At the same time though, I'd prefer Welbeck.

    A) Sterling>Sanchez
    Begovic>Guzan
    Duff>Dummet

    -8

    B) Welbeck>Sakho or Berahino
    Sterling>Sanchez

    -4

    Best 4.0 Defender

    Dummett or Moore ?

    Predicted risers/fallers folks?

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

      berahino and clyne showing as only risers on my FFF

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        Is Sánchez close?

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

          72% on mine

          is that the same for everyone? first time on FFF

      2. Sz21
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        If Sanchez isn't rising..
        Ive another day to muddle over whether to bring in.

    2. Sz21
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Maybe Sanchez to rise? Not sure if its 100%

    3. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Clyne, Berahino to rise.
      Terry, Caulker, Ulloa maybe to drop.

  16. Sz21
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    My team- 10k overall rank from 15k yesterday.

    Howard, Gilks
    Chambers, Cahill, Clyne, Wisdom, Naylor
    ADM, Sigurdsson, Sterling, Marney, Mané
    Costa, Welbeck, Aguero

    Sanchez in for ADM?
    Have 0.4m in bank- Just the right amount (for now) to make the switch..

    Advice greatly appreciated

    Is there any news on how likely Costa is to be ready next week? I can't afford to wait on my transfers (that don't involve Costa) as have no margin for error

    1. Jumpers For Goalposts
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      There will be no "confirmed" news this week as to if Costa will play or not...just Mourinho playing mind games with EVERYONE. You will not know until match day unfortunately.

    Sanchez : BURNLEY (H)
    Hazard : QPR (A)

    Typical timing ! who to pick haha

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Hazard has QPR (H).

    2. MadridistaRants
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      QPR (H) for Haz

  19. Beavis

    I don't think Costa will drop tonight although he should do soon. Not near a drop on FFF and even though Fplstatistics have him to drop, they also had him like that last night and nothing happened.

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

      nice one, was wondering this myself

      FFF doesn't have alexis rising tonight either

    Sanchez or Hazard? D:

    1. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Flip a coin. Both if you can

      1. harrysponge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        Wish I could, but that would involve shipping out Diego Costa and a -8...

  21. Ludo
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    I'm sure this has been discussed to death on here, so I apologise, but just got in from work.

    What's the general feeling on Costa - likely to be back next week, or have we simply no idea?

    1. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      No idea, so i'm selling. Not ready to lose another 0.3

      1. Ludo
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        Fair enough, thanks!

    Morning all.

    What's the latest take on Costa? Think he will fall in price later?

  23. daveoafc77
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    People being a bit too hasty shipping ADM? Palace, Hull and Stoke at home in the next 5

      Gone for Sanchez for me this week repaid the faith nicely with his 2 goals. On a sidenote Dave 13 unbeaten now Bristol on Sat should be a cracker. LJ is doing a great job on a shoestring budget

    Sanchez set to rise tonight? Just got the cash to get before he does

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

      only 72% on FFF

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Tomorrow it seems. If you're strapped for cash I won't rely on price change sites even with their decent recent record.

        What's FFF?

  25. harrysponge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Diego Costa + Sterling + Siggy ----> Berahino, Hazard, Sanchez?

    1. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Thinking of similar. But with Chadli instead of Siggy. So yes 🙂

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      I proposed Diego Costa + Sterling + Siggy ----> Sakho, Hazard, Sanchez for -8 yesterday, and people said no.

      1. harrysponge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        mmmm.... but if Diego Costa keeps losing in value? I dont want to knee jerk for the second time, but I want to get in both Hazard and Sanchez

  26. Sz21
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    Sanchez or ADM.
    Who do we think will score bigger points from now on..

  27. sambyy
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 17 days ago

    Is this team good enough / can I make it good enough with 2FT so I can keep Costa?

    Begovic McCarthy
    Baines Bertrand Naylor Duff Moore
    ADM Sanchez Siggy Schneiderlin Hammond
    Costa Aguero Pelle

    2FT 0,4 ITB

  28. Journeyman

    Siggy > Fellani. Madness?

    1. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 17 days ago

      Yes

      1. Journeyman
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 17 days ago

        Is it? Siggy was waning. Is injured. Fellani very advanced. Decent run. I dunno.

        1. Ross Geller
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 17 days ago

          Better options then Afro. Scored just 1 (ONE!) goal for Utd in PL since last summer.
