      I am agonising over Jelly to Berb. Jelly might just be warming up--today's goal could be the confiedence boost he needed. His next couple of fixtures are at least as good as Ba's so I cannot see Jelly to Ba. So for me the question is whether Berb can keep scoring regardless of fixtures.

    Am I the only one who thinks playing as the lone striker just doesn't suit Michu's style of play at all? I can't see him doing anywhere near as much damage without playing behind a main striker...

      He does look a lot more efficient breaking from deep with those driving runs, bit ironic but playing further up seems to have nerfed him.

I just think I'm posting but really I'm a ghost poster, and you just see shimmering, misty echoes of posts, blink your eyes a couple of times, and it's gone?

    If you can actually see this post, please reply:

    This is my team from this GW:

    Foster
    Shawcross / Gorkss / Baines
    Bale (vc) / Fellaini / Santi Cazorla / Michu

      yeah i agree - figuring out how to get replies is difficult.. i am also a fairly new poster here and it does sometime seem like the posts are invisible. I guess it will get better as people start to recognise your name and grav, and one gets better at asking questions?

        Sometimes it's just the timing. People answer the posts that interest them, so you can get unlucky and post when nobody interested is looking. Getting regonised over time definitely helps. Not asking "Jelly to Bale?" as I originally did helps too! 🙂

      Cuellar to Gorkss is harmless and could work out. Cazorla to Walcott (I definitately wouldn't do Valencia) could pay off handsomely, but might also make you cry. I might want to see some more form out of Walcott before plumping for him.

        Hiya Eunuch sorry didn't reply earlier had to do something, on the who to get rid of Ba or Jelly debate im leaning towards getting rid of Ba simply because he went on a bit of a barren run last year, and Everton seem to be scoring more freely than Newcastle at the moment, plus factoring in Ba has had injury problems lately

        And, in your view, that is Berbatov? 😀

    Might have to jump on the Fellaini train as well:

    A.Cazorla>Fellaini
    or
    B. Noble,Michu>Schneiderlin,Fellaini (-4)

      Exactly the same transfer I'm considering. Could easily just stick but I'm not so sure. Silva is tempting me.

      I've brought Silva in last night for Haz. I would do it Caz to Silva as Giroud is the Arsenal cover I feel you need

        Yeah, leaning that way, just that Fellaini's stopping me, but I think I'm doing this one, Caz to Silva. If Michu goes out for Fellaini next week unless Fellaini gets a YC. Thanks for the input, apologies that I've posted so much.

      No IMO. I don't see selling Ba as a good move in the short term at all. Swansea and Southampton vs Sunderland and Stoke for Berbs.

    Baines really loves this new bonus system doesn't he? He's the new Charlie Adam (or Barry Ferguson for the veterans out there.
