        Drop one of the below

        A) Aguero

        B) Costa

        C) Rooney

        What are peoples opinions on Di Maria? He is definitely going to rise and i'm very tempted to lose Ramsey and get him….Also is Ivanovic worth the extra 0.7 over Cahill?

        1. FPL Mike the Knight
          • 12 Years

          want to wait and see on Di Maria, great player, not sure about consistent strong returns.

          Ivan is more attacking so far this season than all defenders and midfielders!! so yes

        Hey Guys,
        Need your opinions, its quiet confusing now. Current midfield and attack looks like this:

        Siggy, Ramsey, Fabregas, Sterling, (Cattermole)
        Aguero, Rooney, Costa

        With 1 FT available, current form, upcoming fixtures, and FPL points potential of ADM and Pelle !!! the questions are:

        - Take the hit to accommodate both? if yes, upgrade Cattermole to ADM, which means sacrificing one of the front 3 for Pelle!! which forward would that be?
        - Only use the FT for ADM and keep this front line for gameweek 5 (think about Pelle later)??? if yes, which of Siggy, Rams, Cesc, Ster to be replaced by ADM ??

        C- Naylor SOU (H)

      • Piksau
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        My FPL team is:

        - DDG - Krul

        - Ivanovic - OShea - Vlaar - Kolo - Debuchy

        - Fabregas - Sterling - Sanchez - Siggy - Palacios

        - Rooney - Chamakh - Welbeck

        Any suggestions?

        I will be using my one FT to make a defensive change: Shawcross or Clyne in for Debuchy im thinking.

        Or should i use the WC? Not too keen on absorbing the penalty of an extra transfer.

        1. AriseSirGiggsy
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Debuchy+Chamakh > Gibbs+Ulloa -4

          ?

      • Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Bertrand or Clyne for Debuchy??

        1. AriseSirGiggsy
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          whats wrong with Chambers and Gibbs?

          1. Birds of Prey
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Chambers not long term, so-so fix's 2 yellows no CS's.

            I do like his game, successor to Mert next year.

            try Moreno first, if you have him Shawcross, Demich or the Souths mentioned.

        1.2 itb 0 FT

        • 9 Years

        Hi all,

        I'd welcome any opinions on the best way forward here. My team is:

        Krul
        N.Taylor Ferdinand Bardsley
        Mata Siggy Sterling Marney
        Naismith Costa Rooney

        Subs - Foster Fabregas Cahill Bruce

        3m in the bank

        Please excuse the Marney punt. I'm wary three Chelsea players away to City.

        Options:

        A. Bruce to Baines, drop Ferdinand
        B. Jump on the Mata-ADM Bandwagon
        C. Save transfer and hold off on Baines 'til fixtures get better / ADM til we see what happens to Mata

        1. Hank da Silva
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I don't think Marney can even be called a punt. Play your Chelsea lot, with Cesc in there your midfield is fine. I don't think much about Baines myself, but yeah, getting rid of Bruce and Rio in one fell swoop sounds fairly reasonable.

          1. Hank da Silva
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            In fact, you could really just play Cahill and save the FT.

            1. Tom Tom
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Foolishness corrected. Might bank the transfer too. Cheers!

          9 years, 7 months ago

          Mate, only advice I can give you with absolute confidence that it is the 100% correct move is to play Fabregas over Marney.

          Everything else could go either way. 😉

          1. Tom Tom
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Nice one. Marney not due to explode this week then. 🙂

        Barnes.

        Thinking Nasri and Barnes

        Players that I'm Considering bring in Ramsey, ulloa, lukaku, mirallas, chaldi, eriksen, augero.

        Who should I kick out and who should replace?

      • setemadi

        Clyne, fonte, Chambers

        Hi All,

        Any help with my team would be appreciated: 0.3 ITB, 1 FT

        De Gea / (Gilks)
        Clyne / Pieters * / O'Shea / (Debuchy **) / (Caulker)
        Fabregas / Ramsey / Sterling / Siggy / (Schneiderlin)
        Naismith / Costa / Rooney

        Debuchy obviously out a long time, and Pieters 75% chance of playing. Is there any glaring changes that I should make, or should I save the FT?

      • Randy_Marsh

        Is Rooney the conservative capt pick this week? I think Costa will be a nightmare for city on Sunday, and they've been fairly piss poor so far, Arsenal put 2 past them and could have been more

      • Piksau
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Im thinking of using the WC and making this my team:

        - DDG - Hamer

        - Ivanovic - Dier - Vlaar - Shawcross - Clyne

        - Fabregas - Chadli - Siggy-Sterling- ADM

        - Rooney - Naismith - Diouf

        My team as it stands is:

        - DDG - Krul

        - Ivanovic - OShea - Vlaar - Kolo - Debuchy

        - Fabregas - Sterling - Sanchez - Siggy - Palacios

        - Rooney - Chamakh - Welbeck

        Should i use the WC and make these changes…or do i use 1 FT and maybe take a points hit to get in 2 players in place of any 2 of Vlaar/Debuchy/Chamakh?(I have 1.6 in the bank)

        What say?

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          That front three on a WC?????

          You've just spent all that time pondering over, and typing that????

            was about to say exactly the same thing...

          2. Piksau
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Well what would you suggest i do?
            I mainly did this to reform my back line and get a couple of better options in midfield.
            Chamakh, Vlaar and Debuchy all injured.
