Monitor – Jason Puncheon

For serious?

😯 Oh geez, I hope he's ok, he's the man's man

What a legend that guy , hero off-screen as well

He's fine. Walked away with cuts end bruises.

fair to moderate condition according to the yank cop at the scene who was enjoying himself way too much

Wisdom to Dawson. Wolly could be fine yet.

Moreno
Schlupp
Zouma

Wisdom to Schlupp seems like a fun punt.

Too sideways.

Could be worth more points but all too sideways so nay.

Hold steady, I like the latter move as that can hurt you more.
Rest of team? How else can you get Sanchez?

I like those transfers quite a bit. Would like it more if you got Siggy instead of Hendo.

Anything without hazard gets a big thumbs down.

Unless they've seriously miscalculated - no chance.

Good luck mate. Early to do the transfer though!

Pretty sure I said it first but I guess they're your buddies.

If you mean Downing out for, I'd take Siggy out of those three right now.

As a Liverpool fan my opinion is that Sturridge isn't worth it.
Austin/Kane/N'Doye are around 5M less!
Coutinho is the one to take a punt on.
For now I'd leave LFC players until the next three games are over.

😯 That all seems reasonable Walsh, solid insight. Thanks for clarifying the dilemma up 😀

I think I can only hope for the best with him, I just think BR needs him more than ever now and is the final piece to the top 4 puzzle and this incredible run they're on. His appeal to me, like you said, is his ability to bag a brace with ease and Pool's fluid attack is more than capable supplying Sturridge for that. He also gives me a great captaincy differential and worst case scenario, I get rid in the DGW with my WC.

But aye, wouldn't be looking to get rid of him as it makes it nearly impossible to have all of, Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Ivan and Aguero in the same team. That's my only problem, the only player who can really harm me right now is Silva, hoping he starts getting marginalized when Bony and Aguero start ticking.

Thanks for the much needed advice, as always Walsh, top lad!

Usually Ryan or TM are around to make sure none of us get out of hand around this time 🙂

PS no transfers for me until mid week at the earliest

You know Chelsea are top of the table? I would start there.

Cazorla would be my priority to go in that attack. And Vert should probably go soon too in defense. I like your team overall though. Vert to Ivan would be my transfer most likely and think that is better than saving it. I'd also bench one of the Soton boys as I expect PvA to come back in for their game against Villa. I'd also bench Cazorla and start Puncheon this gameweek.

Hutton > Terry/Cawson, depends where you want to splash the cash. Front 8 is strong!

Caz > Haz

Play Phillips
JWP>Silva
Hope Walcott plays...yet again.

Walcott to Silva and leave it at that imo but wait until Monday night at the earliest when FA cup games are done

What they said.

Nice side, would do Walcott to Silva as others pointed out and hope for the best.
He's no starting and he costs too much for only a 30 minute cameo.

Would then upgrade JWP to a mid priced mid, and after the United game get Kane in ASAP for
N' Doye

Good transfers, perhaps a week to late.

PVA

These are all awful. I could just about live with No.1

I feel the current format doesn't help the more clued in managers.

The change in price changes I feel have affected me this season. I usually go post Jan WC with a better team because of value but this season if different as most around me have the same TV after making less transfers. Dedication to FF this season has hit me hard.

Can you spell out the benefits of these changes?

1) remove captains
2) add in more scorable attributes (like UFPL but not the full extent, a happy middle ground)
3) give players who play multiple positions variable pricing depending on where you want to add them
.....for example price Rooney at 10.5m as a midfielder but 9m as a striker

You never save!!! 😯

I would save, but if you feel the urge to do sth, then like you said Caz > Özil.

People say Caz is relying on pens and I would consider Sakho as an alternative to Giroud

The moves are merely cosmetic imo... Like me you have Clichy 🙁

Would take an Aguero injury for me to get him at this point I think. So...I'll probably have him in a few weeks 😀

Hop on Champ, it's a lonely wagon right now

Ivanovic far from essential, but I do think having a Chelsea defender would be a wise move. Although they have two away games they could keep a clean sheet against anyone. Costa though probably should be owned for it.

They will. Almost certainly 6 teams will blank in GW33 and have a DGW in 34/37.

I think I might go in with Terry, Ivanovic and Hazard.

Costa could well be banned for one or both of them. I'll monitor his form and see.

Not essential by any means, but nice to have nonetheless for the DGW, especially as there isn't much to pick form on that side based on current form. Would have to hope Oscar/Cuadrado get a nice little run before the DGW to spice things up

You can't quantify a wildcard. It can go badly too.

There is absolutely no way to put an agreed upon figure to answer that question. It is just a big advantage at this point for your planning as you put instead of having to come up with one course of action for a prolonged period of time you can have two shorter term planning periods with the restart button to break them up.

I think this is most peoples plan, but the question of how many points isn't really worth thinking about

He could probably get the same result in less than 8 transfers which would cost you 28 pts. I think it's worth closer to 20 pts

United will get what they deserve given their recent performances. Unpack that any way you'd like 🙂

Personally an Arsenal win would suit me much better for FPL purposes. And I think that will probably be the outcome, though maybe after a replay.

I honestly think we'll win..

..when we were playing far worse as a unit months back we still outplayed Chelsea at OT and drew and were unlucky to lose to City at the Etihad (stupid Smalling)

My gut tells me we will rise to the occasion of these tough matches and finish in a CL spot and progress in the FA Cup..

Just please KEEP the 4-3-3, add Carrick as a starter, and keep Rooney up top.

Thanks Louis!

If Arsenal win I'm selling Bellerin and Ozil for Hazard and a dirt cheap defender. If Utd win do I buy back Hazard? Both could play weakened teams.

Yeah, g2g. Boyd first sub for me though. City not exactly rock solid at the back.

No pressing issues. Save.

GTG. I think a lot of teams will save FT this week.

Thanks fellas

Those who progress in the FA cup this weekend i think

Arsenal / Sunderland OR Man utd / Chelsea
Liverpool / Hull
Villa / QPR OR WBA / Palace

There will be three missing games in GW 33 assuming Liverpool beat Blackburn:

Arsenal-Sunderland or Chelsea-United

Villa-QPR or Palace-WBA

Hull-Liverpool

Is it worth starting clichy, surely he will play 90 mins this gw?

Start Clichy for sure ahead of Dawson IMO, he either plays or doesn't, so low risk of a cameo and this looks like a great fixture for attacking returns as well.
Mane first sub IMO, nice team ILB!

All good options as Downing and Hammers seem to be struggling. Toss a coin.

All 3 good choices, monitor mane this week, he could start playing up front if pelle keeps failing

West Ham have a ridiculous run now though tbh

B

A

Mane is your man,

thanks everyone im leaning towards mane or siggy.. i like sou fixtures after chelsea and he seems to be sou only attacking threat

Baird out definitely. Zouma a good option though he will miss a few which may might you this week with hutton out and PVA rotation. Probably worth it overall if you intend to ditch on WC for the doubles

Good tranny, nice team

I like that move , go for t

Samuel

Arsenal and Liverpool. Don't bother thinking about the others.

Zooms might just have one more game before rotation.
You could risk it if you don't fancy Costa.

I'm thinking about the same issue. Zouma can be a decent gamble, allowing access or more coverage of a very good defence at a good price, but with a risk of missing games. You will probably need a solid fifth defender if you decide to select him and it depends whether you think Hutton is that defender.

Are you chasing or leading?

someone said zouma is probably a starter for all home games

if Chelsea is still in CL, i think zouma will get more game time if Cahill is involved in CL?
