REPOST. (lost at end of last page).
Do you think Walcott injury (hammy) is a rouse and he will play the next GW?
Also is Michu or Walcott due a price rise or fall anytime soon?
CheersOpen ControlsIt's a fake injury (that's what i've read)
Their prices won't chance, not today at least according to totalfplOpen ControlsThanks.
Was thinking Michu > Walcott. ( I tr Bad Santi for Silva).
Worthwhile punt in your opinion?Open ControlsI have a michu and i'll keep him, he has some interesting games at home. But i feel like Michu decreased his level since he started to play as a striker.
Open ControlsAs for silva, i want to see if he's in form. I've been considering to get him in for Cazorla in a couple of weeks.

Any transfers worthwhile to the below this week? Only one I can see that's potentially worth it is Santi -> Silva or Mata...
Jaask
Baines, Hughes, McCartney
Bale, Santi, Fellaini, Taarabt
RVP, Ba, Berba
Federici, Michu, Cuellar, Clyne
Bank 1.0m, 1 freebieOpen ControlsI did Santi > Silva. Am happy about it too! May get Walcott to cover.

Ivanovic and Noble out for Shawcross and Mata for a hit.
yay or nay...Open Controlsdo you think cazorla or bale to david silva is a good move? if so who should i ship out? caz or bale?
Open ControlsHey Gameweekies!! 0FT and £0 in the coffers!
Here come the boys>>>
Bergo (Jaasi)
Baines, McCauley, Gorks (Reid,Clyne)
Fellaini, Mata, Cazorla, Michu (Kightly)
RVP, Ba, Lukaku.
Fellas, should I Baines>Rafael, then Lukaku>Berbatov.....for -8 pt hit?
If not, have you got ANY suggestions, my esteemed colleagues?Open ControlsBaines>Rafael, No
I would hold onto Baines all yearOpen ControlsI hear that Zan. It's the only way I can get Berba in (& get rid of Lukaku) without touching the midfield, you see.
Thanks for the reponse.......Open Controls
if u do cauley to wilko, will u have enough cash for lukaku to berb?
Open ControlsYeah, Gopher!! I would have the exact amount of money left!!!
Open ControlsI mean that I can just about do it. It will be my first -8 hit though. But if I don't do it now, I will miss the rise of Berba...
SOMEBODY TELL ME TO DO IT!!!!!....or notOpen Controls
Good Morning all. I just saw the highlights. Why there is no Liverpool Player around Suarez while he is celebrating after his goal? They do not like Suarez score the goal? I find it strange?

Open ControlsI'd play both this week, the game could end up 0-0, both sun and swa are playing away to decent attacking teams
Open ControlsPretty much my team except Hughes Clyne Bale and Suarez instead of your Cuellar Davis Nolan and RVP. Nothing wrong with it.
Open Controls
Really have a feeling Aguero is gonna be the form player over the next few weeks. With that in mind, does anyone like these transfers?
Michu & Ba -> Maloney & Aguero (4 point hit)
I might even captain Aguero this week too.
Jaask
Baines, Hughes, McCartney
Bale, Santi, Fellaini, Taarabt
RVP, Ba, Berba
Federici, Michu, Cuellar, Clyne
Bank 1.0m, 1 freebieOpen ControlsI lost patience with Ba and Michu too, but instead went for Suarez and Silva... (obviously along with other transfers to make it affordable)
Aguero looks good, but I've gone for Silva... so as long as he doesn't take the limelight off Silva, I'm OK with it... 😉Open ControlsNice. I think the safe play for me this week is Santi -> Silva for free. You think that's better than the above? Don't really want to lose Ba or Michu, but I'm just not convinced either team carves out enough chances each week - they've been prolific with the chances they've had so far this year, I just think they may tail off a bit soon. MCY on the other hand create a LOT. Taarabt & Maloney also rotate pretty well up to the Jan wildcard and both are on pens...
Open ControlsI think it's better to avoid the hit, since Aguero too can have his off days... I think Silva will hit form now that he's back fit and playing, or at least I'm hoping...
I need to try something different to start gaining some points on everyone in front of me...
I like the Taar/Mal rotation as well...Open ControlsYeah, I think I'm going to go with Silva. Mancini realises how crucial he is to their attacking game, so I can't see him facing any rotation. He looked good yesterday, so perhaps he's back fully fit now too. I'm gonna look to get Suarez in GW15 if he keeps up this form...
Open Controls
I honestly can't see Aguero starting against Villa. He has an international midweek and then a must win CL match the week after, with Villa in between. I would at least wait a week if it was me.
Open ControlsAh, that's a good point. Perhaps Santi -> Silva is the better play for me this week. Do we know if he's in the Spain squad for their friendly?
Open Controlshttp://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1220091/chelsea-midfielder-juan-mata-wins-recall-to-spain-squad?cc=4716
according to that link, Silva is not in the squad to face Panama, but Santi isOpen Controls
Who would you bench: Sterling Or Michu? Why?
Open Controlsprobably sterling because michu is playin upfront.. although its pretty close!
Open ControlsMichu is not relishing new lone striker role. Sterling is inconsistent and indecisive. Sterling is at home to wigan. while michu tries his luck away to Newcastle. i am leaning more towards sterling. I'll be captaining Suarez 🙂
Open Controls
Caz or Walcott out for Silva?
Team linked.Open ControlsI'd monitor Walcott injury development before making the move
Open Controls
REPOST - as no one answered 10 mins ago ha
Bale > Maloney
Ba > RVP
for a 4pt hit.. Yes or No ??
would give me RVP – Suarez – Berb upfrontOpen Controlsbale may explode at the Emirates next week.
Open Controls'may' is the word
he may of exploded at city aswell! but didn't
i'm thinking there's much more chance of RVP exploding.. you agree?Open Controlsbut the north london derby always produce lot of goals.. remember 4-2 last season? or 5-4?
it's hard to compare both Rvp & bale's possible impact of any given game..that's why i opt to have both.Open Controls
he did well at OT recently, right? just a reminder of his abilities..
Open ControlsYep true.. i just feel i'm missing out without RVP!
Open Controls
Is Adam Johnson a good bet? he will have a good fixtures in few weeks...
Open Controlssunderland are not putting shots enough upfront despite their talent across the midfield.. i wpuld stay away.
Open Controlssunderland will have a good fixtures at home and on gw16 will have a double challenge (vs Chelsea and reading)....
i am thinking to sell Morrison, and to buy A.Johnson....Open Controlsup to you, mate. but DGW against chelsea & reading may reward you with only 2 + 5 points.. there are other midfielders that can offer greater that in that price bracket, namely pienaar, nolan, michu, duff.. just follow your guts, i would say.

Which two transfers would best benefit my team?Open ControlsHovering over a -8pt hit - McCauley>Wilkinson & Lukaku> Berbatov.
SOMEBODY TELL ME TO DO IT!!!!! OR NOTOpen ControlsDo it if you can't wait. Look good for long term. But you may suffer one week. 😉
Open ControlsCheers Dan,
If I want Berba (which I so do), I can just about afford him NOW before he rises out of my reach.Open Controls
don't think it would be worthwhile.. WBA at home, btw..so u never know.
Open ControlsThanks N.A.B.I.L,
WBA is at home.....to Chelsea. You're right thoughm you never know. McCauley has been my most dependable defender....but I need Berba.....Open Controls
I'd say yes....stoke have better fixtures compared to wba....while berba has more attacking threat compared to lukaku (not really nailed on)
Disclaimer: this advice comes from a guy who love taking hits (made 24 transfers to date)Open ControlsCheers Gopher! That's my exact line of thinking. Like Daniel said it may cost a week's pain + triple Stoke but hey, it's Berba!!!
Lol. But did the trannies benefit you, though?Open Controls
just do it over two weeks..
no need for a 8pt hit, you'll probably regret it!Open ControlsThanks for the sdvice, LFC. So just do Mcauley>Wilkinson for -4pt hit.
Do you think Berba's will rise before then? If he does, I'm fecked cos I can just about afford him now....Open Controls
TWO weeks in a row my bench has gotten a total of 21 points. TWO WEEKS. Last week I benched Cazorla to play Nolan, this week I bench Nolan to play Cazorla. Is there such a thing of having a too strong bench?
Open ControlsI have a similiar issue to you. Cheapest mid over 6 mil = this problem.
Everyone knew Nolan would score against his old side. I have Morrison on the bench this week. Pienaar is the issue.Open Controls
hey guys with one ft which do u think i should do first?
lambert>ruiz?
jenkinson>some other defender at about 5.5.Open ControlsGet a proper striker.
Open ControlsRuiz. I wonder if he could be the poor man's Berba?
Huth(£5.5) or Shawcross (£5.0) or maybe Caulker (£4.8)....Open Controlswell but the concern is i have bego and cameron already.another stoke might be too risky.thought of getting reid but west ham's fixture is just bad.
Open ControlsYeah I got Reid and McCauley! They have served me well but fixtures are forcing my hand. There are no better defenders than the one's I mentioned (Caulker aside ) in that price range imo, you see...
Open Controls
Held off on doin Tevez ot Berbs last night and as expected i feel like keepin Tevez for Villa now.. Every year i have a habit of keepin a player for far too long.. really not learnin from my mistakes
Open Controlswill defo get rid after this week though.. bad fixtures plus no security of starts.. Surely he's nailed on for this week though
Open Controls
So assuming toothprick gets his ban asap, then he will be a must have over the Festive Season for gw 15->
SOUTH/west/VILLA/FUL/stoke/Qpr/SUN....
Bye Bye Ba.
😕Open ControlsQuick question as I need to shake things up. Have to pay points regardless.
What would you take?
For -4:
RVP - Crouch - Suarez
Carzola - Nolan - Michu - Allen - Sidwell
For -8
RVP - Berbatov - Suarez
Carzola - Nolan - Michu - Allen - Sidwell
Berbatov or Crouch? Worth another -4?
Also, I can switch out Bale for Carzola in either option.
Thanks!Open ControlsSilva over Santi/Bale?
Open Controls
Btw.. goin through the stoke forums and all the hatred for wilko has gone.. pulis shifted him to RB after the first half and he was pretty spectacular by all accounts.. nailed on for the foreseeable now imo
Open ControlsI'm averaging 50 points per week....not good enough....Can I do better next week?
Bego - Foster
Mertesacker - Hughes - Cuellar - Gorkks - Fonte
Mata - Santi - Fellaini - Sterling - Lallana
RVP - Suarez - Ba
Advice on the team is appreciated. 0FT - 0.5m in ze bankOpen Controlscazorla+tevez->silva+giroud (-4)?

Alreet lads. I reckon that the fact that in the 4 games that I have had Kolarov, he has played 2 games as OOP, and stayed on the bench for another (with 1 cameo appearance) means that I was justified in the PUNT. Of course it hasn't worked out, but it could easily have been different. He will be out this week or next though. Can't afford him now that I have RVP.
