Details of how to vote follow below and the main message here is that if you have already voted in the first round of voting you need to do so again as votes were reset for the finals.

All at Fantasy Football 247.
Another red arrow week for me. :dance:
It will be damage control though, I will end up with 602 points once Dummett comes from bench. At the moment 5,452, tomorrow I expect to be in the top 5k and maybe top 4k. My team still stands strong and there is no need to use a wildcard. :dance:
Raz, teach me your ways!
I get one red arrow and i think immediately about using my wildcard. Have considered all of Sanchez, Walcott, Downing, Chadli, Tadic, Hazard as possible moves today but thinking about it, most of them are just chasing points which i’ve already missed out on.
Aguero is my problem now, i really need him in soon but have to rely on QPR at Loftus Road to keep me uo in the top 5k
Just keep your calm and collective. Bandwagons have paid off the last couple of weeks. We already had superb teams so we didn’t need that much adjusting. In all honesty our teams have been quite unlucky. Still we managed to get some good points.
Few weeks back was my biggest regret when I didn’t go with my gut. My gut was telling me to take an 8 point hit for Tadic and Kun… arghhhhhhhh…. I’d be 50 points further now (around 652-ish) if I just did that. Hahaha. Probably more.
You’re not doing bad at all. Think you just need to trust your current team. Also plan ahead. For instance, my plan to work in Baines worked, my plan to work in Kun worked. Just got the second 1 week too late.
Using WC on my time I would consider to be crazy. My team picked up a lot of points and I”m happy with 62. Even though I’m on red arrows it’s sort of damage control and I have a feeling my team must and will come good.
Chasing players rarely works for me. It worked for the peepz that got in Sanchez last week after he got 2 give away goals. Burnley at home isn’t the same thing as Swansea away. Everton scored in every match except in the one at Home versus Swansea. I would feel horrified if I got Sanchez for a hit, downgraded certain team members and he blanks (which could happen).
Your main problem indeed is that you don’t have Kun from what I remember. I’ll take a look at your team now.
I sort of get why you’re worried Bean. It’s quite hard to work in Kun for you. Hmmm. Problem is that your team is too well balanced. >.<
You will need Kun that much is sure, think he's more of a must than for instance Sanchez. You could do Sterling to Downing and Pelle to Kun later? Or doesn't that free up enough?
Raz,
You have talked a lot of sense into me with that.
I frown upon bandwagons (Chester, Dier, Naismith) so it would be ridiculous for me to start chasing them now.
I have Walcott, Hazard and Aguero on my wishlist but i cannot find a front 7 that i’m happy with:
ADM, Hazard, Walcott
Aguero, Costa
Who to fill the last 2 spaces with while keeping Baines at the back?
Thats the thing Baines is really causing problem money wise, cuz if he wasnt so expensive everything I had plan would workout wonderfully!!!
I can’t afford Hazard or Sanchez without dropping a class player. Players that have done enough for me and are going to be dropped are Pelle and Tadic. Pelle for Sakho (to free up some cash, move will happen during IB though, not now) and Tadic will make way for Walcott. So my midfield after International Break (if nobody picks up an injury) will be:
Siggy-Walcott-Fabregas-DiMaria
Kun-Costa-Sakho
Walcott is cheaper than Sanchez and for all we know he will score just as many points. His first 10 minutes yesterday looked really promising (have to keep in mind it was against Burnley though :p).
ya still have 6 from the bench to come though!!!!!
Yeah. Still not getting Sanchez, different move on my mind. I’m gonna ditch Pelle during International Break and replace him with Sakho (has decent fixtures) and replace Tadic with Walcott. Soton have impossible fixtures from GW12-GW24 or smt.
yeah, soton hav to go- still probably gonna hold onto clyne though!!
For my primary team sanchez gets the :finger:
not really sure how I’m gonna get wally in, but thats my problem…
Can’t work in Sanchez that’s the reason why I’m not getting him. Don’t want to replace Fab or Di Maria. And with the Sakho move I can only afford a 9.8 mid and if that’s the case Wally is the best option. Wally just played 10 minutes yesterday and I saw like 3 or 4 shots from him? Dude is going to be awesome. Also, if Sanchez let the last ball go it would’ve been a Wally goal. 😉
You are right Raz, ADM and Fab are season keepers, no need to geton the Sanchez bandwagon if it means selling either of those
Hi, would you a or b?
a) Di Maria to Sanchez
b) Tadic to Sanchez, welbeck to Naismith for -4?
Is hard to say, I would wait.
Di Maria and Tadic had a good chance to score next game, I would get rid of welbeck for sure this week
Sakho before Nismith for me, keep ADM, he will come good
Hi All
Who should I cap from this lot next week?
Fábregas Downing Chadli Di María Diego Costa Pellè Agüero
Between Pelle and Sergio for me, probably Sergio
idk about Sergio… People arent getting that good result away this season….
I would do Pelle
I would do Costa thinking how bad liverpool are doing but I feel/know MOU will play defensively which is sad, knowing the quality chelsea has.
Peter – Definitely Agüero. He gets so many chances every game. Eventually he’s gonna explode again. The only other player I would cap this week is Angel.
VOTED!! good luck guys. HoPe YOU WIN IT!!!!
Can yall RMT i have 3.7 in the bank but that is to bring in Di Maria once he drops like crazy lol but any suggestion on transfer….
Last team I’ll rate today.Ummm. Your midfield is too weak in all honesty. Sooner or later I’d downgrade Pelle to Sakho and upgrade Diame to ………. whom ever you can. Forwards are class but I would want 4 class midfield players. Also, if you can’t afford Di Maria you could go with Walcott (though at the moment it might be too early). I want to be on the Wally train before it’s too late though.
Ok, forget about downgrading Pelle, I see you 3.7m in the bank. Don’t need to downgrade Pelle. Anyway, off for bed. Oyas.
Cheers Raz I will bring both ADM and Wally when the time comes. Just hopping ADM price goes down alot so I dont have to use so much money on him…
I can’t do RMT’s at the moment because I haven’t got a clue what to do at the moment but i do have a bit of advice for you…stop chasing bandwagons!
hahahahaha thanks Mr. Bean I did stop chasing bandwagons, thats why i missed out on ADM
Alright. Off to bed, cya guys later.
Same, I’m off. Good night.
Hey lads. What’s thoughts on Siggy? Will he pull it together? Will Downing continue form?
I was thinking of ditching Siggy for Downing myself.
Hi makeya. I’ve got both and don’t feel pushed to sell either, i fancy both to score points.
I feel SIggy will be a season long player but his price might go down if he doesnt perform against arsenal thou
