      Tasty team... use the cash to upgrade figueroa and bertrand would be my suggestion.

        Cheers, will look at 4.5-5m options and hopefully can build on 173 points so far

    Anyone know if kightly is nailed on for stoke ?

      Could Geoff Cameron emerge as an OOP option at Stoke? Presumably he'd be looking to take Whelan or Whitehead's place in the team first?

    Thoughts in my wildcard team. Any improvements i should make??

    Vorm Fed

    Baines Zab/Rafael Hughes Cullar Demel

    Kagawa Toure Pienaar Michu Kaca

    RVP Graham Tevez

    +2 mil in the bank for either Toure or Kags to Hazard next week.

    cheers

      Do Vorm and Fed rotate well?

    Multiple bet on swans/west/newc to win at 9/1?

    Are Cuellar / Mignolet owners starting them against Swansea at the weekend?

    Currently have to pick 1 of Cuellar and Demel and I don't fancy either's prospects.

    1. Fernando Torres
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      I would play Demel.

    2. ludi
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Since I also have Jussi I am playing Cuellar. But if I didnt Id play Demel. Just hedging my bets.

  8. Mick

    Thoughts on this for GW3?

    DDG/Jussi

    Zabaleta Williams Baines/ Clyne McCartney

    Dyer Santi Michu Kacaniklic/ Hazard

    Tevez Petric Ba

    Have 5.9m left, going to do Kacaniklic to Kagawa next week, or should I do it this week for a hit?

    1. perfectred8
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      i would wait and avoid the hit as you dont desperately need to do it

    All this WC panic has me laughing my way through this delicious cereal...

    To WC after two GW's is madness. You hear people saying how it worked out for this last yr. Which is probably true for them. However they fail to mention the hundreds of thousands of people who looked back and thought "what was I thinking".

    1. goneill79
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      the transfer window is still open so there's still so much uncertainty about ins & outs.

    Any Spurs fans out there remember where Kaboul played last season?

    I noticed that Gallas has played the RCB spot in both games but can't recall whether Kaboul's favoured position is LCB or just that he played on the other side to accommodate Gallas.

    Am trying to figure out whether Gallas is nailed on for a few weeks...

    1. stupendous
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      what on Earth are you talking about? Tottenham have the most nailed on right back and left back spots in the entire league. Kyle Walker and Assou Ekotto respectively fill those slots. Kaboul is a center back, and one who is rotated, as is Gallas. I wouldn't bother playing if i were you ffs~~

      1. Lanley Staurel

        So you on the rag then mate or are you always this touchy?

    2. stupendous
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      ah i just saw you said rcb and lcb and not rb and lb.....either way what does it matter? he's rotational with Dawson and vertonghen (if dawson stays). Should be starting for a few weeks at least now though

  11. joe90

    For GW3 I'm thinking of going with:

    Vorm (Federici)
    Lescott, Hangeland, Rangel (Barnett) (O'Brien)
    Noble, Yaya Toure, Kagawa, Michu, Fellaini
    Tevez, RVP (Pog)

  12. BenTheMan
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    After a little bit of tweaking, with the view that Tottenham's fixtures are too good to pass up, I've tried to squeeze ade into my WC lineup, taken out RVP and squeezed in Kagawa for Utd coverage.

    Vorm Begovic

    Baines Santon Zabaleta (Cuellar) (Demel)

    Pienaar Michu Kagawa Kacaniklic (Hazard)

    Adebayor Tevez Ba

    1.8m in Bank.

    Thoughts?

    1. perfectred8
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      looks pretty good to me, might've gone for s.taylor instead of santon as newcastle have their new centre-mid Anita who can also play left back and s.taylor might get you a few goals

  13. perfectred8
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    team for GW3 (with £2.5 in the bank)

    Jaaskelainen (Federici)

    Zabaleta - Rangel - Clyne - McCartney - (Ivanovic)

    Van der Vaart - Yaya Toure - Michu - Piennar - (Guthrie)

    Tevez - Suarez - (Torres)

    Used my free transfer for Gorkss ---> Rangel to make sure i had a possible 11 players playing in this coming gameweek...

    Any tips on any other moves that need to be made? just worrying about a lack of Man Utd / Arsenal players and Van der Vaart...!

    1. billy_robertson2005
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      get rid of vdv, get bale in if you can.

  14. billy_robertson2005
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Begovic (ruddy)

    Baines - Hangelaand - Neil Taylor (gorkss, demel)

    Nasri - Bale - Michu - Pienaar (Hazard)

    Graham - Petric - RVP(c)

    with 0.4m in the bank.

    using my wildcard this week so if anyone has any suggestions or shud i just stick with this team?

    I wanna sort my keepers out for the next 7 or 8 gameweeks

    1. Van The Man
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Avoid Gorkks! I've made a sin by picking him in the first place! I would somehow feel to upgrade G or P....

  15. Three Badgers on a Shirt
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Genuine dilemma here (I think). Have just £1.8m in the bank to do Toure to Hazard for GW4, but concerned that by then his price will have risen again. Already done Torres to RVP, so if I did the transfer now, I'd be taking a hit for a player who doesn't even have a game next week! Anyone got any advice on this one?

    1. Van The Man
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      I've the same kinda dilemma wit Hazard and I'm thinking till the int'l break...

  16. ozyong
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    sigh, what do you guys suggest i do with this team for gw3
    jaas/ krul
    a.cole, evra, williams, lescott, A. ferdinand
    bale, yaya toure, michu, guthrie, walters
    pogrebnyak, tevez, graham

    Are these people that keep bringing in hazard fools??

  18. queons
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    do u know if Zoltan Gera is gonna play?

  19. puzzydee
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Here’s my squad.
    Szczesny, Cerny.
    Hangeland,Shawcross, Ivan, Clichy, Clyne
    Noble,Michu, Kagawa, Cazorla, Allen
    Torres, Ade, Tevez.
    Think it’s worth taking a 4 pt hit for
    Cazorla —> Ben Arfa
    Or Torres –> Cisse, then swap Cazorla next game week for Hazard.
    Or should I just leave it as it is.
    Any other suggestions also welcome.
