Proof that asking for advice is the same as asking for an accomplice. Dont worry about the "so called advice", your other choice would have probably been worse.

i really can't see where the good budget options are this year

Think ill just leave him until i play my wc, will accept that ill lose money

Exactly that was my thinking....not happy with that, I thought at the beginning of this gw I would make some serious strides. Now I'm likely to take points his next gw.

I was just looking at the formation and with Long and Odem making it a 4 4 2 it does complicate things somewhat.

I had him last year and he was worth the money. This year I think is too expensive and due to age and fitness, will be subject to more rotation and will be coming off the bench. Injury prone. Better options at that price in my opinion, even brunt at 6.0 is better if you need West Brom coverage, even though he is out this game.

To those who guessed this week to get him, cheers.

n.taylor, reo coker and ferguson i dont intend to play, just cheap subs
and r.taylor scores and keeps cleansheets hopefully and ramsey at 6.4 sounds like a bargain to me?

With the exception of N Taylor (4m and Swansea have CS potential) agree that all of those are bad picks. Clichy will get rotated and Kompany is the same price or .1 more and is nailed on.

Enrique = good
Clichy = bombs forward, dont see anyone else playing lb
jones = wont get rotated till vidic and rafel both come back i think
r.taylor= come in for simpson at rb maybe but see what your saying
ramsey= agreed probs
nasri = yes
nani = expensive but good!
reo coker = is ok for a sub
ferguson = dont need anyway
aguergo = yes
suarez- yes
rooney = yes

1st trade and 2nd trade = funds for 3rd trade.

1st trade-i thought Aguero would be rested and Dzeko would play, as did many
Had to downgrade Nani to be able to bring RVP in.

Ah thank you. Since when did West Brom players become prone to rotation?! This season's a fecking nightmare just to find players who will start a match!

I see your point, was wondering if he may be one of the semi-"fixture proof" performers in the sub 9 mill range.

I am tempted to sit that one out and take my chances with what I have got.

Sturridge and Rooney are my other 2 strikers although there will be some serious conflicts about that pairing for next sun!

I've got a decent team but I have yet to master a balance between fixture rotation and a decent team.

I thought I had too but I guess the Ranieri in me is trying to get loose. 😉

No way Dzeko gets rested again.
Dzeko out for me GW6 (as i have planned all along)

Good luck with that mate!

Team is fine cheggers apart from Steven Fletcher who has been hopeless but after next week Baines has a ludicrous spell of fixtures, that i'd love to ignore but can't. Makes sense to get in another quality midfielder then (Silva) as i already have Mata and Walcott.

Theres not great value in Baines due to fixtures until GW11.

Twice the price, though.

"copier" 😆

Baines will be back after gw11-12

After dzeko has played next week

Makes sense, I was thinking holt looks like he could do a job in goal, under the 'stick the fatty in nets' principle.

yes

As long as its not the Swansea game I'm not arsed to be honest.
I might even do both next week and bench the Bos man v United.

Yep. Think he is better fpl player. Cheaper too.

Nasri will play next weekend and when he plays silva won't get many assists. Nasri has goal threat as well.

I second this - think Nasri is better FPL wise than Silva. Hes had 3 assists already.

Its different but i think Baines is excellent value. Basically a left winger now Arteta is gone with the pens for sure

added to that despite Arsenal being dire yesterday Walcott could easily have got 2. He played alot centrally at times when Sagna pushed on.

I dont think your 3 cheap mids or brown are good. Suarez has very tough fixtures

what i may do is bench brunt next game and see what develops
