or go 4-3-3 if u have decent defence

I say no. 🙂

Who are the 2 4.5 mids?

Get rid of the United midfielder and you're sorted. I have that strikeforce with mids of 9.5, 8, 6.5, 6 and 4.5

Dyer(Swansea) & Buzsaky(QPR)

holt still

Best going off form.

Personally i prefer playing 3 up top this season

graham for me over holt - imo rodgers will give the guy plenty of time to proove himself. martin at risk from morison and vaughan (when fit). not sure about smith given changing landscape at qpr.

walcott

i have ramsey, i see him playing as one of the two defensive minded mids so unfortunately i see not much return on him. not sure on arteta

Walcott scores more goals (he play upfront)
Arteta will probably sees the ball more (playmaker)
Ramsey - never give up attitude but less goals/assist probably.

Probably .3-.4 million. Bosingwa, Young and Dzeko made the most, while vorm and petrov could make money if they go up a bit more. Definitely not worth wild carding just for the money though. More if you need to change your team.

I think only 1 player has risen by 0.2 (Dzeko), about another 9 risen by 0.1

Team value of 101.6 - can sell Bosingwa, Jarvis, Suarez and Dzeko for realisable profits.

team value is 101.8

Team value 101.9, transfer value 100.6 - should be 102.1 / 100.7 after tonight though.

1.5 for me.
i have Enrique, R.Taylor, Vorm, Adam, Silva, Jarvis, Rooney, Suarez, Dzeko before their price rise

i agree...my defence is looking cheap but with potential.

How is Drenthe on set pieces by the way? Any chance he'll take 'em?

Conflicting reports about the injury. Phil Mcnutty from the Beeb says it's just a knock.

Not to beat a dead horse, but is the injury an injury, or an *injury* (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)?

What are the chances of a desperate Everton phoning Capello and pleading that their 'foundation' player be rested, especially seeing the decent position of the National team, in order to preserve the PL 'life' of Eve? Or Capello coming to that conclusion himself and just seeing who else he has in the position?

Just wondering ...

1. would wait and see until team news later in week as I can see Baines playing.
2. Sound move
3. Hold on he has good fixtures and may well come good.

1. its monday. 6 days until everton play. we'll have news in the next few days

y didnt u just wildcard?

1. I'd twist, maybe wait for further team news but at the same time long term Bos seems the better option
2. If it involves a points hit then it's not worth it...Yaya could still score big at home to Wigan, long term Arteta probably better but not necessarily this week with uncertainty over where he'll fit in and how deep he'll play
3. He's an awkward one, not much else at his price so will change your team structure up a bit, but he could still easily get a goal out of nothing so it's not necessarily urgent.

Stick, imo.
No. Yaya to Barry if you have a Citeh forward, imo.
Try Walcott instead ... 🙂

Hate to do one of those - I told ya so on NZogbia but he went up 2.0 mill this year and the team does not revolve around him any more he was never a good pick... Deal with that first there are plenty cheaper who can get 3 points week in week out with an odd goal

Go Tevez, Hernandez, Barndoor for the ultimate differential forward line.

It's an anagram of milph c*ntly

Not a popular name in these parts ... 😉

Yep. A lot of uncertainty and I won't be surprised if he's benched vs. Wigan but for his price when he does play he's incredible value so I think I'm just gonna stick with him for good.

beacuase he scored 4 goals in 1 GW. The crowd love chasing points.

Aguero and Tevez can play on the wings in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Theoretically, Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko, Silva & Nasri could all play in the starting XI. Very, very unlikely though.

i think mancini will play two up front with aguero and tevez rotating.

Yeah but that one up front is likely going to be dzeko or balotelli. Tevez and Aguero can flank either side of the target man, or sit behind him, and still get the job done. He may eventually be rested but right now he seems pretty safe, is in form, and is seeing massive leaps in price.

which 7.5 injured players do you have then?

i am

im never playing him again

If you 'want company' then don't ditch any.. three's a crowd, so they say. 🙂

drop one of silva or nasri.

for me Nasri.

Arsenal with an incrediby easy fixture against Swansea at home this coming GW. With RVP having struck nicely against Man U the previous GW, and then have scored 4 goals for the Netherlands, one would assume that he is prime target for a big haul this coming weekend. And who will probably provide many of the assists for those goals? I would assume that it's Arteta.

Dzeko is the rotation threat with Tevez back in the picture.

Sounds right Yesot, it's been the tone of all of the press reports I've been reading.

Cheers yesot! Also, he's not falling in price much, so panic over! 😀

that's great news 🙂

Gers, looks decent to me although I'm not sure Briggs will see much action. Ruiz is clearly an unknown quantity based on untried/untested in Prem, but then you know that and going bold anyhoo.

Power to you, and good luck.

i dont think parker is a good choice myself..

parker is an odd pick

if he does then i think it will be fri

oooo

Nice options, I'd got for the first one. I don't see the other two being 0.5 better than Simpson, and I'll wait on Mata and Young allows an easy trade down.

He might miss neither and score aplenty.

Suit yourself ... 😀

dont think he's worth it myself..

Agreed. He could still score 20 goals and be amazing value BUT, with such clear options in RVP and Rooney and Dzeko as a budget option, there is too much uncertainty around him at this point for my liking. Yet to play 90 minutes, Gerrard coming back into the side, Carroll/Bellamy and a lot of rotation likely, and he's not their main man in the way Rooney and RVP are.

I don't think he'll pull many big weeks (15pts plus), but he'll be consistent all season long. One 2 point game does not make him rubbish. I'd back him to get an assist and goal every 2/3 weeks along with some bonus points.

If you work on that basis then City will have about 25 players starting most games.

That logic does not hold up when City's bench is worth 100mil+ every week. It's inevitable that someone who cost a lot of money will be benched now and again.

I do think at present he's first choice but if Tevez starts firing again I see them threatening each other's place.

The latter 3 for me.

I think more of City's goals will be shared around their strikers, and that Suarez will score the bulk of Liverpools

Suarez also more of an assister than Dzeko

RVP, Rooney & Dzeko is what I'm currently going with, but a frontline of Suarez, Adebayor & Dzeko is also tempting me. That would allow a seriously strong midfield and defence also, but it just requires some balls to ignore Rooney (given the form) and RVP (fixtures).

yup +1

Fo' sho'.

very true......

What does FML mean?

LOL

Baines injury is quite a big issue though, his next two fixtures are likely to be the bulk of his points over the next 5/6 gameweeks.

And dropping him down frees up so much cash it could work out well.

But as you said, there'll be some Jammy idiot that doesn't listen to the news and captains Aguero in GW1 to hurt all of those of us that pay attention to the news...

IMO Petrov & barkley > brunt & Dyer

Pretty much in the same boat as you 🙂

Going Schwarzer over Given (better rotation), also Dyer over Barkley.

But overall, as much as I don't want to, I can' see past the Bosingwa, Young, Nasri, Rooney, Suarez, Dzeko axis. Jarvis is another one that I'm going to ride a little while.

I want to know too - I'm guessing Gabbidon but would like confirmation!

Rises are not based on %, on falls.

It doesn't matter what prices they arbitrarily generate because we all pay the same.

Of course, it does mean that even though MOST players are the wrong price, they won't be corrected ever, but the game isn't about them.

Knowledgeable, dedicated or smart players will figure out the bargains. That's all this game is about.
