It’s transfer deadline-day and one of the most exciting days of the year in the football calendar and possibly one of the most important in terms of fantasy football, as come the end of play today many PL teams will have a different outlook depending on their business on this one day. With FPL taking a mini-break due to international fixtures this is the perfect time for many to reflect on today’s happenings and decide whether any new signings are worth a punt or will impact positively on the players they already have. We kick this article off early doors and look forward to seeing it through until the deadline tonight with all of your rumours, hopes and probably lies (!) along the way. Keep us up to date on anything you hear and most importantly how you think it will affect your fantasy football team…
Transfer Deadline Day
makeya
Glad I wildcarded early this week to get a rose in team value. Up to 101.3!! Fingers crossed I don’t put in a player that gets injured in the international games.. What do you guys think of my team? Mid wildcard.

Mak, are you on WC now or last week?
makeya
On one now. Activated it to get all my pathetic Man U coverage out haha.
NZ Alex (Owls Rule and 2 times Pottys prize winner!)
Mac, so you have the two Swansea midfielders into build up ten value as who would you bench once the international break is over?

Morning gentlemen! Close H2H at the weekend GP!! Too close!
Am probably wcing this game week as my defence needs a total overhaul plus injury to Mata (maybe)
Am looking at
Bergovic Fabianski (100% rotation)
Janmaat ivanovic clyne van aanholt and Hutton
Has anyone got any alternatives or anyone I’ve missed???
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Ah here he is . . .
Morning peaky.
Yeah three points in it – nice and competitive mate. I’m happy if I am always in with a shout of winning. Well done on your win.
Solid GKPs – personally think they are the strongest rotating pair. Defence is very strong too. Looks a great base to work from.
Bigpopz
Peaky..
Looking good..
Personally I wouldn’t rotate two 5m goalies …just stick with Bego plus Cheapo..
Defence very similar to my WC team.
inittowinit
Peaky I’m looking at putting in Coleman or Baines with a view to whichever I choose being a permanent fixture in my team. Eithers a good bet for a goal or assist regardless of CS potential plus Evertons fixtures do ease up somewhat shortly.
NZ Alex (Owls Rule and 2 times Pottys prize winner!)
Init, morning mate. So you would back one of those two over Ivan?
inittowinit
Hi Alex, no. I would have Ivan plus one of those.
NZ Alex (Owls Rule and 2 times Pottys prize winner!)
Init, interesting big boys at the back ay!? Are you WC-ing?
inittowinit
I certainly am Alex!
Calvin Clyne
Be interested to see that team Init!
peakydave
Me too Calvin and as co owner of this site I think he’s duty bound to show us!! 😉
NZ Alex (Owls Rule and 2 times Pottys prize winner!)
Show us, show us, show us!
inittowinit
There’s nothing to show! I can post what I have but it’s simply a bunch of players that I felt would rise in price last night and perhaps tonight. I’ll happily post the finished product but that’ll be next Friday I assume! God knows why you’d want to see it though – have you seen my start to this season? Car crash doesn’t come close!
Calvin Clyne
Now now Init, you are in the top 30.51% of players after just 3 GWs. Jeez, always glass half empty 😉
inittowinit
That’s pretty poor CC as well you know! The doubles team seems ok though….
Calvin Clyne
Yeah well the bank robbers are coming for you in the doubles!
NZ Alex (Owls Rule and 2 times Pottys prize winner!)
Peaks, its a damn good back line, but 10mil on keepers………. Im just not sure. SO by 100% rotation do you mean that they are h/a or a really good fixture every week till the end of the season?
peakydave
Cheers GP ur a gent!!
Innit with Lukaku Eto’o and Naismith in form I’m not sure Coleman or Baines might be so prolific this year!???
Bigpopz and Alex will consider ur thoughts thanks and Alex here is (should be!) a link to Mitos fixture rotation chart from earlier in season I’ve got my copy on my phones homepage!!!

Bigpopz
What would you do..?
Janmat & Wardprowse
Or
Colocini & Schniederlin
My active WC team at the Mo’
NZ Alex (Owls Rule and 2 times Pottys prize winner!)
Popz, nice team. Realistically, when would you not play one of your starting mids/forwards? If so why have £1mil locked up in Schn? Downgrade and get JWP and Jan in.
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
+1
Definitely.
musungu
JWP and Jan in will be the best move for sure
Bigpopz
Nz & TGP ..
Was thinking rotating 5th mid (schniderlin) with Naismith, with Lukaku / Eto as options for Martinez naismith might play less mins..?
Plus Janmat yellow flagged..
Still tinkering..
But thanks ..!
Brookyboy
Why bother rotating naismith ? Just play him every game.Everton got some good fixtures coming up and they are quite capable of putting a couple past United and Liverpool.Takes the stress of rotation away aswell.Nothing worse than a player on the bench outscoring the player in your team who’s rotating with him !!
Bigpopz
Brooky..
Good point..
May just do that..
Ta.
NZ Alex (Owls Rule and 2 times Pottys prize winner!)
To WC or not to WC, that is the question? Can I get your opinion on whether to hit that button? Cheers
Bigpopz
Nz…
Your call buddy.
Mids are perfect.
A couple of transfers would sort I think..
Depends on any new must haves on deadline day..?
Aguero is fit & playing
Plus Falcao on his way to city / Utd / Arsenal…..who knows..?
Brookyboy
Not much wrong with that team Alex !!
Calvin Clyne
That would be madness haha.
NZ Alex (Owls Rule and 2 times Pottys prize winner!)
Cheers lads, I’m backing away from the button! Team stays as is.
Calvin Clyne
Well this would probably be my WC team, so really don’t think it’s worth it. I will do the Mata to Sterling move for a hit, but the rest are luxuries really. Lovren to Moreno can be done when there aren’t other pressing matters, and Isgrove and Bartley are weighing me down but I don’t think they are worth either hits or a WC.
NZ Alex (Owls Rule and 2 times Pottys prize winner!)
Calvin, your correct mate. You can sort your team with a 4ph and leaving a little deadwood on the bench for later on. We’ll start the ‘holding the WC’ club 😉
Calvin Clyne
We will serve club sandwiches and Club biscuits at club meetings.
NZ Alex (Owls Rule and 2 times Pottys prize winner!)
Welcome to the club.
Calvin Clyne
You too good sir. We must have a strict code of conduct; we don’t want the riff-raff applying.
Bigpopz
Calvin..
Yea i think only use WC if your making wholesale changes..
I take it your not too bothered about team Value….Bartley / Mata dropping.
Plus no City cover would concern me….even tho they have tricky next 2 fixtures..!
Calvin Clyne
I’m very bothered with team value BigP, but not at the expense of common sense. Mata dropped after GW1, which was crazy. Glad I kept him for his 10 points in GW2, but he didn’t look great last game so getting in Sterling now for him. And as for Bartley, there was no way of knowing whether or not he’d drop – there were about 50 guys in the red and of course the one I have drops immediately and the others all just stay at like 200% under, FML.
