      But going Aguero-less is a step too far for me. He is the main source of points at City, unlike Luis at Liverpool...

      I think everybody knows he won't make the rest of the season anyway, it's only ever a matter of how long he lasts. It could all be over again for a few weeks by half time this weekend.

    Hello everyone!

    One dilemma: Who is safest to make the XI for Norwich this weekend, Olsson or Yobo. They both seem like international duty-avoiding knocks and would both be available for the weekend. I'd prefer Olsson but the talk of trying to play through a shoulder which needs surgery worries me. Yobo's seems more of the "Im a veteran for my country and I don't feel like travelling for a friendly" variety. Yet after the Canaries shipped four goals, I don' t know if Hughton will want to shake things up.

    Should I ignore both and go Ward? Or is there another 4.5 or less defender you lot recommend?

    Cheers

      There are no Champions League, Europa League or International matches in GW34, so any matches affected by the FA Cup Semi-finals could be moved to midweek (unless they need a replay or decide to play a different postponed match then instead). But it could be a double game-week for some of these other postponed matches.

        I broke my own rule of 3 top strikers ,
        Goals win games and also improves your rank in FPL ,
        Tho admittedly the bonus for def in a tight game has been a game changer as well.

    Option A gives me an extra player for DGW but it's a UTD player.

Best of luck to you too 🙂 I thought this week is the best to have a punt on, as any mistakes could always be rectified by the time the DGW rolls around if the right DGW transfers are made. Plus Januzaj's low price makes it easier to redistribute the wealth in preparation for GW31 😉

    What are people's thoughts on tripling on City for the run in? With 3 DGWs it seems obvious to but the fixtures from GW31-34 are pretty nasty. Everton's on the other hand are brilliant from GW30-34 and GW34 is the likely spot for their Palace DGW is they lose to Arsenal this weekend.

    I'm thinking of doubling on City to begin with to save funds then getting a third player in GW35 when the fixtures shift and having money tied up in Baines/Coleman loses appeal.

    This is dependent on City not getting a second DGW until at least GW35. GW34 can't be a double for them assuming they overcome the mighty Wigan this time.

        City have the extra 2 fixtures on most other DGW teams and are one of the strongest teams in the league. That has to be worth tripling on at the right time?

          At the right time yeah.

          Not for this closer double thou.

          I'm thinking Pool for 31 I may just go Suarez/Sturridge and no mid.

          But then I could change my mind totally contradict myself.

            With Liverpool, SAS are pretty much essential and in most teams anyway so don't cost transfers. I will probably triple on them simply because Sterling's price helps finance more luxury DGWers.

          My thinking is that he is looking very lively again and seems to have forged a good understanding with Long already. He was unfortunate last week, came very close a couple of times and I am putting that down to hull having a bad day at the office. They have a run of 4 decent fixtures and look what he done upon arrival at Everton. He is very capable when on song.

      Yup, I can avoid Yaya no longer. I have Kolarov still and to be honest, may just keep. I'm not really concerned about their tough fixtures, it is their easier ones I'm worried about! That's where the rotation will happen. Aguero home to Fulham I'm looking at you. He'll surely not start that given his recent issues and the big away games either side.

            True.. Norwich, Cardiff, Fulham, Stoke do not inspire either. I may go balls deep on Southampton despite Palace's home record. May get Lambert for this week and next (hem to Norwich) in combo with Lallana and Rodriguez.

            I could use two and go Snodgrass and Rooney in for free but Rooney doesn't inspire me. Plus, if I get Snodgrass that will be the third time I have owned him this season LOL

            Good man. Nice website by the way, looking good.

            Yeah, eveyone struggling this week so I'm not too concerned about the lack of players. I feel for you on the Adam front - It is ridiculous he gets banned if Yaya didn't.

            Thanks for the compliment, I'll try to keep it up! It has been a frustrating season tbh - it is a decent rank but the last few weeks have been frustrating with Sturridge and Ade killing me (apart from last week!)

                        Yeah he's far from essential with all the rotation but if you wanna go that route never captain, never bench, never sell and he'll be a good pick. Had a good chuckle at all the people that brought him in after gw21 then sold him after a couple 1's and 0's. What a waste of two ft's

                        Yeah he does get some gametime in midfield. With Silva, Nasri and Navas fit it's less likely though.
                        I think Kolarov is more effective at left back tbh though. Too slow on the wing but get him some open space to run into and his delivery is superb

                      Yep, me as well. The gamble is which games in that schedule will he be a iffy pick for..and I'd suggest Fulham. Once Barca have knocked them out of CL then things change, but for that GW there a gamble to be had.

                    Think I'm risking it too. Just brought in Rooney for this week, so will probably keep him for 31.

                    Also the chance of him being rested for Old Trafford, or at least subbed early. And he's injury prone.

        there are always LOADS of goals at WHL in arsenal matches just google it 😛

        besides they are almost dead certs not to keep a cs at the bridge and swansea are decent in possesion of the ball so at the emirates expect them to have some chances

              Aguero would be brilliant. But remember he may well not play the minutes you hope City will have to be careful with him. 2 bad injuries this season I reckon' he will be mostly saved for Europe (if they can stay in it)

      You plan on sailing the SS Remy then? A brave man there may be choppy water ahead

          You want to Lukaku out for the Jelavic when sailing in the SS Remy as their stings can be fatal

      I think at least one of Yaya or Aguero is essential. You'll incur in further hits to get them later I suppose...

      I would not have kol as my city player of choice. He highly likely to only start one of the games. Same goes for jan

        these are good points but they are budget and allow me the bigger options... and kol is in my team already

    I just found a new way, GW31 (-4)

    Adrian
    Distin, Azpi, Chambers
    Yaya, Gerrard, Sterling, Mata
    RVP, Suarez, Aguero

    Davis; Colback, Burner, Gabbi

    Would need some finantial engineering later to get Haz back in but I like the -4 appeal. Thoughts?

      snod or Januzaj -> Ajohnson or Mirallas if ur feeling ballsy to prepare for his run of DGWs? Snoddy is a doubt. Wouldnt trust jan to get 180 mins in dgw.

    Checking total fpl for price rises and noticed somebody bought Jack Rodwell today......why??? Checked on FPL site and saw he had a net transfer iin of 6 last week. Who would be buying somebody like him, Doesn't play, at 5m not cheap enough to be a squad filler. Cant think of any logical reason.....maybe auto-complete teams?

      maybe some people have the wrong idea of the meaning of the word fantasy in this sense.
