Theo Walcott’s return helps Olivier Giroud to claim second spot in our ICT Index rankings, denied only by the talents of Dimitar Berbatov.

Midfield definitely needs a shake-up, made the move from Ben Arfa to Fellaini last night. It’s currently looking like this:
Cazorla, Bale, Fellaini, Taarabt, Maloney
Happy to keep Maloney as a budget option and rotation with Taarabt now. Taarabt was certainly threatening against us and if he keeps that up he’s bound to see points.
What to do with my other FT? Help??Open Controlsrvp 3% off a rise 😛
Open Controlswho is the most important to buy in right mow?

Both, if poss.

Well, I shipped Cazorla for Fellaini. Couldn't resist any longer. I'm sure Cazorla will have a hatful of assists against Spurs and Fellaini will get one point over the next two weeks. yee-ahhhhh!

Gotta say Sunday nights are a killer! Team finally going in the right direction and I'm freaking out about Suarez and the human microphone! Felliani's stats are scary though but surely I can't swap Caz out for him??
Open ControlsI swapped Bale out for him last week. The man is unplayable at the moment!
Open ControlsI've done it. I might be putting too much stock into that one game but against Fulham Caz was playing deeper than he had previously and Walcott had taken corners/free kicks from him.
Open Controls
Last post on previous. Should I ship out Tevez or Ba?
Open Controlsif one then tevez
but I would take time to think it overOpen ControlsYou're probably right. Ideally I'd be sleeping on this rather than sat at my computer!! Price rises are driving me to take action.
On that basis I'm going to either do:
A) Pienaar to Fellaini & Tevez to Berbatov (1.5 bank)
or
B) Bale to Fellaini & Tevez to Suarez (1.8 bank) - then transfer out Pienaar next GW
Probably A) ...Open ControlsA
Open Controls
Personally I would ship out Ba first as Toon dont seem to be working atm. Neitehr do City mind
Open ControlsI agree. It's the age old fear of what the players might do after I transfer them out. This sort of paralysis is always a problem, meanwhile Berba, Fellaini and Suarez all keep racking up the points. Hmm ...
I would cost me more to have to get Tevez back in, but then maybe David Silva might be a better choice for City coverage moving forward?Open Controls
Anyone have a link to any of those big pre season debates about how useless Suarez is?
Open ControlsHi people, need some advice before the price rises. Im in a work league and currently sit 2nd. Top 4 have a breakaway group, 1st, 3rd & 4th all have Suarez who is killing me. I have 2FTs this week. Who would you recommend:
Begovic (Mccarthy)
Evans Baines Nelsen (Cuellar & Clyne)
Fellaini Mata Bale Stirling (Lallana)
Tevez RVP Berbatov
I have 0 in bank but thinking Tevez to Suarez. It would mean i need save .4 on someone else. Possibly Evans although Man Utd have decent fixtures...Open ControlsFrank Gore! What a beast!
Great play by special teams to set it up.Open Controlswhich one ye think please? Felleini , berba or suarez
Open ControlsImpossible to choose really. Berbatov just because he's under no threat of suspension.
Open Controls
Haz-> Mata
Tevez -> Suarez (-8pts)
Worth it? I'm leaning to no.Open ControlsTevez has Villa at home next week
Open Controlsmy only worry with tevez is what if he plays the role he did today which was wide-ish, not up front and performing some defensive duties.
I can't see him playing right up front with aguero only off him in the hole. But with silva back it looks as if he may be deployed in that role.Open Controls
Would it be silly to sell Cazorla to Silva/Walcott to protect value?
Bought Caz at 9.2, if he falls to 9.3 I lose that .1m. So if I buy Silva, it's a nice gamble and I may buy a rising player. If it turns out the wrong decision I can simply buy back Cazorla at 9.2/9.3
Any thoughts on this kind of move?Open ControlsIt's crucial to prospering this year if you're going to own RVP and the likes.
Open ControlsIt is. and should be taken into some consideration. More like a tiebreaker type thing. If you feel you 2 players that you can see giving about the same returns i say go for the one who is more likely to rise more. It will help down the line. The super teams of late January and early February will be built by the ones with the money.
Open Controls
Dont sell for value.
Sell Caz to Walcott as one is a better fpl prospect than the otherOpen ControlsYeah, that's first and foremost what is in my mind. I think Walcott looks the better option for Arsenal as he's such a massive threat all the time. The injury is going to derail that plan though. Silva is obviously not that explosive but he looked so good today and it's a like for like replacement as they have similar styles.
I'm just working on a tight budget as if I let Caz fall I'd only just be able to afford the likes of Silva...so every penny counts.Open Controls
I don't think it's worth risking messing up your team for 0.1m
Open ControlsAlmost did it, but not to protect value. Simply wanted Silva but in the end i went through Bale instead of Cazorla. I have been waiting on Silva for a bit and dropped Aguero because i thought he needed him also. Left the money freed up for a possible Suarez to Aguero when the former gets suspended.
Open Controlsmy thoughts are very similar to this am thinkin caz to silva and tev to giroud. my thoughts are... its a tough choice
Open ControlsSilva and Giroud looks like it could be neck and neck with Tevez and Cazorla. Giroud you get a nailed on striker and with Silva a nailed on mid. Tevez could be rotated and maybe won't score as much with Aguero/Dzeko banging them in. It's a tough one.
Open Controlsthats my veiw point exactly. trying to balance nailed onness with form and price and talent. they'r all very simlar siva is on the up caz is on the down, tev is on the down giroud is on the up... ahhh
Open Controls
walcott. i think he'll start next GW. wenger using his tactics to keep walcott out of england squad after what happened last game.

@ REDUNITED
Am i good for the next GW ? Should i save a FT ?
Begovic
Rafael, Baines, Simpson
Bale, Mata, Sterling, Santi Cazorla
Tevez, Ba, Van Persie
Cerny, Gorkss, Routledge, Nelsen
0.0 in the bankOpen Controlstough one really, because Caz has good fixtures and Michu might be drying up. I'd say Caz just.
Open Controls
Bale or Cazorla OUT?
Silva or Mata IN?Open ControlsGotta have both of those in quick. I say Silva, maybe I'm biased though. I just think City is solid defensively at least in the PL. I can see them limiting Chelsea's chances and Silva ripping up the Chelsea defense. Maybe that's just what I'm hoping for though.
It's tough because City have Real Madrid then Chelsea and Dortmund then United. Go with your gut.Open ControlsThanks - do you think Silva is nailed on though? I don't think there's much between them and agree that those two are the ones to have. Don't think Cazorla justifies his price anymore.
Open Controls
Bale / Silva
It's a punt thoughOpen Controls
How do you guys think Arsenal v Spurs will go down?
Worth it to do Bale > Silva -4?Open ControlsAll those considering knee jerking Ba out. He should be lining up against the defences of Swansea, Southampton, Wigan, Fulham and QPR in Newcastle's next 7.
Open ControlsShame, just got rid:)
Open Controls
Berbatov is 7.2 just now,has he already went up in price and is he likely to rise up to 7.4?
Open ControlsBa, Tevez, Michu, Pienaar, Bale shipped out... Queue huge scores for them all next week!
Open Controlstevez played 120 mins v villa in the league cup and didn't score
Open ControlsGot two options as I don't fancy a 4 point hit
Either
A) cazorla or Valencia out for silva
Or
B) sterling out for fellaini
Kind of want to keep sterling for Wigan game but fellaini's form is undeniable.
Valencia and cazorla are obvious season keepers but silva returning to city will mean more goals
Any help welcomeOpen ControlsRVP and Ba or Aguero and Suarez?
