    Just back in. Has Hulk looked at all threatening in the 2nd half so far? Or has the red card killed the threat?

    Should I wildcard??? PLEASE POST YOUR COMMENTS BECAUSE I AM REALLY STUCK

    My team at the moment is:
    Mignolet (Davis)
    Coleman, Zabeleta, Mertesaker (Chester, Brayford)
    Mirallas, Brady, Ozil, Michu (Lucas)
    Soldado, Giroud, Struridge

    Please leave your thoughts. First season in FPL and ranked 200,000. Want to bring in some better defenders and get rid of lot's of awful players. What do you think?

      Your team is quite good JD.

      Sell Mirallas if the prognosis is not good. And take a hit for Brady if you can stomach it.

      200,000 is really not bad I'm around 700,000 your team is not bad at all just need to shuffle players over time. I watched a whole bunch of people play their WC and then take -8 point hits the very next game week. Just take a deep breath and maybe take a strategic -4 hit when needed

      This year I'm trying to only pick players that always start (... I have Vidic though) so I probably wouldn't go for Siggy as I'm expecting him to either rotate or be dropped. Just my opinion though

          Lamela is waiting and Townsend will be the one dropped. There is very little threat to Siggy other than Chadli and AVB won't take him out for at least the next two matches.

      It's hard to be concerned imo when there's so many strikers bringing in consistent points right now. At $14 mil, he doesn't just have to be the top scoring forward to justify his price, he needs to be the top scoring forward by a decent margin.

      As long as you've got Sturridge, Suarez, Rooney, Giroud, now maybe even Lukaku putting up points weekly, it's hard to be concerned when RVP is not even matching them at the moment.

      All made sense at the time though...

      Except for Rio, Hernandez and JWP, they were accidents waiting to happen. 😉

        Rio was playing well at the time. And still think Hernandez will be good if he can stay fit.

      Yes. Why would you play Chico and bench Michu?

        I get 3 points when they clean sheet and don't get a goal VS 6-8 with a defender.

        Michu will not score. Southampton are Solid

      You know it's been a crazy season when someone is considering benching Michu over Ross Barkley

        Explain.

        Why should I play him if I don't think he will score?

        My midfield has consistently had 7/2/2/2 over the past few weeks. It's ruining my team.

    I'd say there is much less fixture-proofing these days with lesser teams turning over supposed bigger ones. So it seems less of a punt...
