Jones might grab one. Larsson worth more than 1
jones had a shot off target and surprisingly only won 4 of 9 duels. larsson's shot off target may cost him, although he may be due a second assist which would bump him up
Came home today and that Wildcard looks incredibly tempting. My team just lacks too many big hitters like Aguero and Young. I don't know where all the money is in my team, but Baines is certainly getting the chop since I just personally don't enjoy having so much invested in a Defender.
Couple value defenders did amazing so far like Simpson, Gabbidon, R. Taylor, S. Taylor, etc.
I would go for Nani instead of Young and for forwards, Aguero + Adebayor + Torres look solid. Rooney is too expensive now and I don't think his form is on the way up.
I was having trouble deciding between Nani and Young, but I've gone with Nani. with Aguero Manu and Rooney as my forwards.
I was tempted for Torres, but I still wanna stick with roonpig cause I think he has a better chance at scoring when there is an open net lol
Cant believe people are dumping suarez this week.
Hes had tricky fixtures , but now home to Wolves , captain material
+1
Just realise i've 9 home players next week + Rooney, Adebayor. Que 30 pointer
same here but rooney and given
what's everyone's thoughts on Walcott being benched this weekend? if it's going to be a common situation valued at 9.0 then surely a straight swap to Arteta will be worth a look in
thanks to the 2 legged champions league qualifier and suspensions elsewhere in the side he'd played twice a week all season. reckon he'll back in next week
no chelsea attacking cover worries me, Walcott > Mata could punish me
that and suarez > adebayor seem to be 2 of the biggest transfer dilemmas this week.
good assist on tuesday, 2 near assists in 30 mins yesterday. a goal and an almost assist (rvp's missed pen) v man utd. goalbound shot cleared off the line v swansea. nearly isn't good enough for 9mil but he's getting another chance from me
He is a rotation risk though with Gervinho and Arshavin. I'm playing safe with good ol' 2 point Ramsey (maybe).
What's with the profile pic? It's not as if it's a particularly unflattering picture of AVB...
All in all, he's a bit of a hero. Did well not to complain whatsoever in his press conference after the standard referee stitch-up. 😉
don't see arshavin as a threat personally. think theo shook him off last season.
thought AVB came across very well today personally. was laso good to see him and fergie walking back for the 2nd half together having a chat.
He gives the longest interview answers in the history of the world. The interviewer asks the initial question and he usually speaks for about ten minutes and then the interview is over! I guess it's the best way to prevent all the tedious Torres questions.
Think im going to make one mor change for a 4 point hit lads...just wondered who you would rather have,
Jones
OR
Kompany?
Cheers 🙂
Kompany for me as he's nailed on, Jones (rotation risk)
Damn, too late, i've gone Jones mate. I reckon he's a regular starter at the moment fergie wud be mad to drop him, plus being a man u fan and being at the match today kinda swayed me lol. Cheers anyway 🙂
What do you'll think of chances of Dzeko playing next week?
Nobody really knows, we all thought he'd start after scoring for fun against spurs, he's just becoming a fantasy player that isn't going to play every week and if you have in your team just expect the worse and if he starts it's a bonus. Pretty rubbish way of seeing it to be honest.
i reckon he'll maybe play, aguero seems to be his pet though, I've gone the total opposite and included no city forwards what so ever, coz im just sick of the rotation risks, never know what mancini is gonna do at all.
Only city player ive got is nasri lol. (Sorry, i know you didnt ask for a low down of who i have got city wise, im just rambling) 🙂
Having troubles deciding whether to keep 4 defenders, or squeeze Moses on (with Rodallega injured.. maybe Moses to get some points?).
R Taylor, Jose Enrique, Dunne, and Kompany.. Bench one for Moses?
Two questions for this week. The other transfer will happen next week.
Who to dump of Brunt and Jarvis.
Who to replace them with for this week, SWP or Petrov.
If I was you, I'd go with Petrov for now and give SWP a couple more weeks to settle in fully. Plus, Petrov is looking good lately...
I was tending towards him because he could have a lot of joy against the Arsenal defence next week.
Which one would you remove?
Worth a 4 point hit from Agbonlahor to Adebayor?Cheers
No. Agbonlahor is in form too and Villa have a decent fixture.
Villa have a nice run of games ahead and agbonlahor is showing the same kind of form as ade. I would be happy with agb myself.
Was just musing over Long to Agbonlahor for a hit myself when I saw your post.
Fck this
I'm wildcarding
Why?
I have holt and n'zogbia 😐
I had Holt and Bent.. Just take a -4 hit?
The rest of your team is fine. Dont use your WC to fix a couple of parts. Change just one this week or take a 4hit rather than using wc
just gettin annoyed with it, vorm being benched is annoying too!
i could just do -4 and get swp for zogbia and dzeko for holt 0.0 in the bak
Or get this team
http://www.uploadscreenshot.com/image/463800/3773824
don't mind playing vorm every week and aguero looks damn good, as does ade
With your 2.5 bank you really do not need to WC
Me too al.
Krul Vorm
Jones Bosingwa Enrique De Leat Simpson
Silva Mata Ramsey SWP Dyer
Aguero Rooney Odim
is the current plan.
Rested/rotated. He was Naaaarich's best defender against WBA, apart from the goal gaff.
Maybe so, but he was still not in the side that won their first game of the season. Can't imagine that Lambert will put him straight back in the side, after all the goals he's been directly at fault for. Although judging by his treatment of #superWes, who knows what sort of stunt Lambert will pull.
I know very little about Norwich, was the guy who came into the side a big unit, brought in specifically to negate the formidable player that is Kevin Davies?
Anyway, I'm probably getting rid of Ritchie this week.
Possibly, tbh Lambert shouldn't be playing him as a CB anyway he's a wingback. He'll be 3rd sub, and i can't see any better defender for 4m who isn't simpson.
Get Shane Long instead of Odemwingie, seriously. He'll score more goals because he'll always be the focal point of the team, whereas Odim will drift out to the wings and occasionally help out in midfield. Then you can upgrade De Laet and Dyer.
all our other centre backs were injured :/
they should bring him back in for leon barnett. that guy gives away penalties for breakfast
i bet reeson has leon barnett and plans to play him at old trafford in gw7. that's how he rolled
woah this is very similar to the WC i may play tonight... except adebayor instead of Odim, richards&ward over enrique&de leat, and not sure on last mifielder where you have ramsey... he's cheap and in the action but i dont trust arsenal right now
just saw your team...upgrade N'Zog and play 2 upfront..bench Holt.No need for wildcard!
the entire front 6 of the scout picks got a goal or an assist. fair play.
theeeeeeeo! *shakes fist*
Just FYI for all PS3 users:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14948701
if i use 1 free transfer out of 2 freee ones do i get 2 again next week?? and would kompany to santos be a good switch?
1. Yes
2. No.
begovic showed he's human today. had an absolute stinker with bramble's goal
doubt even a sunderland fan on ecstasy would have predicted 4-0.
Who got the bonus points today?
Brunt Young Jarvis Silva (Tiote)
Suarez Dzeko Rooney
'Morning' all.
Main question: Not getting nearly enough assists/goals from my midfield (Silva excepted) despite making an effort to pick players known for being hubs (Tiote excepted). This week's points lay with many less-known mids for small teams, can you recommend ones I missed that really be among the chances?
Bonus question: After sticking with Dzeko but seeing Aguero start/score in basically every match, I'm tempted to give up and join the bandwagon?
definately some assist potential in there isacki... tiote excluded. have you considered swp and dyer/sinclair for cheap playmakers
Yeah lol. I'm torn. I watched SWP against Newcastle and there's definitely points potential with his crossing and cutting inside. Sinclair seems like a hub for Swansea too. The only reason I usually don't go for small-team players is they depend on how the team does - i.e. normally not very well.
Apart from this weekend, haha!!
yea i finally got repaid for faith in sinclair this weekend but how many times are swansea gonna win a penalty and dismantle a team?
i'm probably downgrading him to dyer in my WC who's looking closer to scoring each week (he'll be on the bench obv anyway against chelsea)
Ah... that reminds me to make sure I put Vorm on the bench.
I definitely should swap Tiote for a cheap attacking mid, and that could well be Dyer.
The other mids I'm watching are Seb Larsson, who's already pretty popular, and Roysten Drenthe who might be a super signing.
drenthe did look good and good timing with saha out, but evertons next 3 fixtures are enough to make me hold out...
... yeah... make that next 5 fixtures actually.
Whereas Swansea have 5 good ones after Chelsea (I'm not convinced by Liverpool).
Sinclair/Dyer then unless something mindblowing turns up.
hey if i play my wildcard now, can i mix and match through-out the week or are the transfers final. i want to avoid price drops but not quite sure on the final team...
thanks
You can tinker away as much as you like, all that matters is the 15 players in your squad come 11:30 next Saturday.
So you can play the market every day of that gameweek and make massive profits? Or did I misunderstand...
thanks but does that mean if i tranfer in the likes of adebayor now, can enjoy their price rises, whilst tweaking other positions later in the week?
also can i take an 8 point hit tonight, then decide to play WC later to eradicate the hit?
Yup. I'd definitely transfer Adebayor in tonight, before he rises, because either you'll keep him - effectively getting him at 0.2 cheaper than on Friday evening, or you'll decide not to keep him, by which time you'll have already made 0.1 profit on him.
Just be careful not to transfer out players who have risen whilst in your team, who you actually want to keep.
cheers this info means i'll actualy be in bed within the next hour...
i'll get adebayor in, hilario out, may jones in as he's rising, take the hit and decide later whether i'm WC'ing...
obviously i won't be shipping out silva, rooney etc who'v painted my coffers with goooold
yeah
Uh oh, this is a pretty bleak week for Vorm/Begovic owners.
I'll actually trust my gut and put out Begovic. I think Torres is in scary form next week in contrast to Rooney who I think is due for a cool-down period.
It looks bleak, but of those two I reckon it's bleaker with Begovic. Chelsea haven't shown the ability to utterly tear teams apart the way Utd have repeatedly. True, Rooney is in unusual form, and also Chicarito/Welbeck may miss it, but if the strikers don't score the insane mid probably will. The Chelsea midfield has few goals in it this season, I'd only back Mata, Malouda and Lampard look ropey, and I can't be sure of a reliable striker either! Torres might be lifted by his goal, but his incredible miss might drop him. Basically, I expect much less cutting edge from Chelsea.
Will ruddy get his place back when he returns from the ban?
excellent 8)
sunderland won 4-0 and bendtner didn't have a single shot at goal. what a beautifully selfless man
Instant impact Bendtner*.
*apart from last week, but Chelsea are pretty good, so we'll let him off.
Also, is it okay for me to DM you my Forward Thinking picks on twitter each week? Much easier.
Torres' multiplier is looking very juicy. 😉
yep nice and easy
Ok i know ade is going up tonight but he has 3 of his next four games away! Why is everyone xferring him in?
they're good away games, just like wolves last week. when you see the other players at his price he's dirt cheap
he did look good today none the less!
Wel he is playing fourth from bottom (Arsenal!) at home so its not all bad :p
I'm thinking exactly the same thing, he does tend to start well ade though, but then does cool down, and probably will, but who's to say he won't carry on..too early for me to kneejerk him in, see how he goes 🙂
because his next four are Wigan,Arse,Newcastle,Blackburn, ( anyone there that spurs wont score against ? ) maybe Newcastle
As far as away fixtures go, Wigan Newcastle and Blackburn is about as good as it gets. Plus not only are Spurs/Arsenal games usually high scoring, Arsenal are a shambles at the moment, and Ade has a big point to prove. Expect a big score from him.
I was so tempted to get him in my WC instead of Suarez, just wish I'd gone for it originally now.
Holt likely to be benched again next week? If so who should I get out of:
a) Odemwingie
b) Best
c) Agbonlahor
d) Zamora
C
Norwich fan here, lose Holt. He's not playing all the time and as much as I hate to say it he is not a threat in the Premier League.
C, AVL have 5/6 good fixtures coming up. Only uncertainty is how Bent might compete for goals.
Definitely not D. Fulham in general are looking very uncreative, recovering against Man City was an anomaly and they were at home.
my front line now is Aguero + Adebayor + Rooney, also have Silva + Young + Baines
i'm wc'ing too but i'm thinking torres over aguero as he looked hot and has an easier fixture. could be a golden move? or should i stick with the manC goal machine
never getting torres ever ever again
but he did look ok todau :S
I've put Torres in mate, a ball'sy move but will pay off big time, so glad ive put him in. torres will score against swansea, how many tho is unpredictable, could be 1, could be 3 or 4, hoping its the latter 🙂
http://www.uploadscreenshot.com/image/463979/2931530
Will I do it? ...Rather have kenny than ruddy but cant fit it in 🙁
i might just take the hit, but i may wc come the end of the week
Was the Lampard substitution tactical or was he injured?
