Versus – Dimitar Berbatov & Steven Fletcher

How times change, just last week people got rid of him for a hit. Now you want him for a hit?

The jury's still out on Fulham with Berbatov as far as away form goes. Could be a decent move and you could always play Berba away if they do shake off the away blues.

I also dont trust Fulham away. And this season without both Dembele and Demp I can really see them struggling. So for this reason I dont think I'll be jumping on the Berba bus.

As for your plan to rotate those 2- I wouldnt either. I have Guthrie because he's basically a poor player playing for a poor team. No headaches for me and more than likely not many lost points sat on the bench every week

I have no problem with the idea. Although in some cases I would prefer to play Berb away, such as away to Southampton when Wigan have Everton at home.

Interesting idea, I'd probably do it if I'm in a WC.

i think that could work quite nicely

+1.

Ahem!! 😆

against Everton I'd say yes, but I'm thinking of captaining Lambert...

What are your other options? It wouldn't necessarily be stupid but I don't think many people will be doing it. It could pay off but it's risky.

Not convinced by B

C imo.. Berba more essential than Lambert!

If it was me, I would get jaask instead of foster and use the money saved to either a) get wilson or cameron instead of one of your 4m defenders (i love the stk/whm rotation, so have no problem with hte double up), or upgrade sterling to maloney, and rotate with berba!

But that's just me!!

Loving Option C Ryan. The only issue is 1 your probably aware of, WC with a view to a transfer is not ideal.

I agree

ahhh. i gotcha. thanks for sharing

What was up with Marveaux last weekend? He looked like some hot trash, and really held the team back, and didn't help Cisse either.

think it is becoscissegets paid morethan BA

Why would you want to trade Fellaini out for a hit? He has been playing well, would have scored last week if it were not for a legitimate goal ruled out, and has decent fixtures.

I'm not sure about nelson. Especially with mbia now to challenge for his place. Pog to Ba looks good though!

with ade out and Spurs at home go Defoe

not 5

Have to say its Defoe atm!

No Berba?

1,2 or 5.

I'd be tempted by Ba. Its gambling on the idea that he won't be playing on the wing any more.

All depends on long or short term plan really
1. Ba- A good choice but Cisse and postion on the wing cast some doubts
2. Defoe- Great for this week. Next week Man u away and Ade back soon
3. Long-Great fixtures for short term
4. Fletcher- I like this alot. Almost 100% starter every week
5. Suarez- Dont, just dont

I've got defoe but probably wouldn't buy himright now since he has united away in gw6.

Ba if you're buying now, suarez next week (if you're brave!) or defoe the week after IMO.

BTW I bought Long this week so I see your thinking, but I my limit was 6 mil

Cheers, guys! 🙂

Suarez.

Ba
Defoe/Berb

In that order.

He must be Arab or something. That is unreal. Is he married?

Jesus.

You sure? wikipedia says one child.

Foster AND Begovic combination in the middle.

I'm having the last option!

Will Guzan ahead of Given?

if you are looking for a 4.5m kepper Begovic is your man

baines, demel and one of the other guys

Fill your team with players on the rise. If any rise by 0.2 you can sell them and you made 0.1 (or keep them of course)

If players rise by 0.1 and you keep them then, techinically, you have a better team value but it means sweet FA unless they rise again or you wanted them anyway.

Yep, get potential double risers even if it's someone you absolutely loathe. Make that £0.1m profit and get rid if you don't want. £0.1m rise is of no use.

In that scenario, you have to buy Hazard back at his current price.

and re selling hazard for a player who rises 0.2 - this only works if new player rises and hazard DOESN'T rise... and of course he might rise again before you want him back...

Basically chase points not dollars, with the exception of during your wildcard!

points directly affect price rises, but prices rises don't directly affect points.

Yes, correct. You start off getting the players you def want in your WC and put them in and forget about them(just in case you get pissed somewhere during the WC week and their prices sky rocket. It's happened....)

Get rid of the players you def don;t want and replace them with the possible risers. In a perfect world the players you are getting in and want to keep(Eg Hazard/Michu/Tevez during my WC week) are the players that everyone is getting so due to the volumes being traded the prices increase. I made +-/ 1mill in a week.

The "other thing" you are asking is to complex for me to even think about so early in the morning...

Jesus, all of this is wrecking my poor brain, I really should put things across better. Apologies guys!

Do it if you can. Very solid picks in both the short term and long term future. Wouldnt do it for a hit mind you

I hope it's a draw. My R27000 accumulator depends on it.

that AVB guy is a pain, he played Bale too 🙁

AVB is taking the tournament seriously.

An opponent with lesser players

Newcastle v Norwich draw...not likely, and Kolo and Kolorov mentioned as strong defenders...

Against Man United?

I like this. 🙂

You said you would captain Ba yesterday! You would've changed your mind again in 2 hours.

Forca...what you think about my 5 euro accumulator bet...

Chel/Newc/Wigan/SpusWba - win
West/Swans/Liv - draw

544/1

😀

+1

Yep the conclusion was as follows:

Buy (and captain) Shola Ameobi.

Berb is the word.

Aint nobody dope as him, he beats that Fletch and McClean (sung to the tune of So Fresh and So Clean - Outkast)

Don't know the content. But apparently it says Berba out of those two by some distance!

I always want to ask these questions too. But feel it's a bit cheeky as I havent paid the fee so cant expect to know whats in the members area.

Naughty boy 😉

I't happened to me in my first year of playing. I could not afford to put most of the players back that I originally owned. Often missing out by 0.1m.

I found this amusing until the last line, you can't be serious? Tevez and Hazard are going to score highly all season long.

defoe perhaps... if not then yaya or michu

Nothing wrong with this.

No Chico, or Taylor for swans. Villa knocked 2 past them.

But swanssea are good at the liberty so you may lose your cs points, if your struggling for options though Baines could be a bold shout.

Whats the FT?

I would start Zab over Clark. Also, if Ba is going to stay there long term, take the hit.

After all the commotion this week with Ba's agent and the reaction of Pardew to it. It takes a brave man to captain Ba imo

But hope he plays and scores for your sake

Cheers!

Btw, I have a good feeling about Ba.

I don't like those stats. For starters Citeh won't have it easy against Arsenal, ever since Bould has arrived their defence has improved a lot. I cant see loads of goals in that fixture.

Likewise Everton should be ranked a lot higher due to Swansea's defensive injury crisis.

Well Ivanovic is an exception because of a DGW, It's just the freak chance of a defender scoring and getting a CS 3 weeks out of 4, basically guaranteed top spot if this happens.

Gunter.

Any reason why you're so keen on a RDG DF? Rotates well with your other cheapie I'm guessing?

I'd go Gorkss to save on cash for a player who'll be on the bench the vast majority of weeks anyway

NOR, WHAM, SWN and QPR rotate 2:2 fwiw.
