It’s like last week never happened. Up until Man City woke us up from a weekend long slumber it seemed like it almost never did.

Unlimited transfers. Unlimited options abound. Unlimited panic with just limited time remaining. Three rooms, not four, available to offer Fantasy Managers our best thoughts as they search for divine inspiration in these final minutes.

The chatroom is available for people to confab on their last minute decisions before the ever approach deadline looms.

I’ll be with you, on the front-lines, wondering exactly what to do, as I’ve got full funds leaving me stuck between my very own rock (Wayne Rooney) and hard place (Darren Bent) for a final striking spot in my squad.

    Is Baines AND Cahill overkill?

    I have Baines, and I'm toying between:

    Young + Aguero
    or
    Cahill + Rooney

    Any thoughts?

        good point with the guaranteed starts, I keep getting the fear of leaving Aguero out

        With Cahill, Aguero allows Sess, whereas Rooney leaves Hooloahan. I hate not covering early games, but I love a bit of Wes

      all depends on when more of the transfers were since the price rise only happens once a day.

      also you need double the previous number of transfers to get a .1 rise

      I would've said a price rise for every day since monday so .5

      it would have gone up by 0.1 if it hits over 100% at the end of the night, then re-set to 0% so you can't really work it out.

      it can only go up by 0.1 per day - so even if it went up 0.1 per day since monday it would be 0.5 extra at the most, but that is unlikely as the threshold for a rise doubles each time

      I don't think you need Man City defenders for the next 2 GWs. There I've said it.

      Obviously you're not going to do too well if you go all season without City defensive coverage but I'm nailing my colours firmly to the Baines mast with the intention of downgrading in a few weeks. Gives me the opportunity to see if Richards is the same rotation risk as last year too.

        Be careful of Brown this GW, there'll be more cards being shown than at Christmas.
