      Toffee fans are suggesting he won't start even if fit enough to play.

      Like I say though, as only a very small % own him I can't see him dropping in value, so might keep him a while longer to see what happens.

      2 very nice games after Arsenal coming up.

        I was so happy bringing him in two weeks ago as nobody else had him in my mini league, however, that anckle injury has rUined everything!

        i will keep and hope we delivers over the next gw's

          It'd be silly to get rid before the DGW, unless something major happens injury wise.

        No one other than Moyes knows for sure.

        If Drenthe was out this week then my 4th mid was B Johnson. I couldn't afford to take that risk so I sold him for O'Hara.

        My reasoning on the matter was that I know O'Hara is playing and he has great matchups for the next month (aside from maybe next weekend). Drenthe's DGW isn't until 6 GW's time so I can see how he gets on in the next few weeks to see whether I want him back.

        If you have a good benchie for this week then keep him, but if not then consider getting in someone whose nailed on to play and has a realistic chance of some decent points.

    For anyone who already have their teams sorted, any thoughts for transfers for GW15 🙂

    Enrique, Nani, Adam, Rooney currently in mind as things stand, although saving a transfer could always happen too.

      Unless Rooney really sucks today I think I'll save it. Adam is a good shout but I can see QPR causing Liverpool some problems.

      I don't think that game is the foregone conclusion others are perhaps thinking it will be.

    Usual irrational dilema. Brown or Walters first sub? If Brown does well it means O'hara has done badly, if Walters does well it means my Everton defence has done badly. And yes I do realise this is a daft way to look at it

      Not at all. I would put Walters first sub. On peno's, and more nailed on for at least 2 points

    Who should I play in defense? Simpson or McAuley.
    Can't see a CS for both, so Newcastle coverage is maybe the safer option as so many have at least one of their defenders in their team. Right?

    I've decided to put Drenthe as 3rd sub.

    As he's coming back from an injury I can see him starting on the bench and coming on for 1 point.

      I got rid.

      Bought him on the basis of one good game which could have been a complete flash in the pan.

      The guy has no form at all coming into FPL and all we've seen are flashes of him thus far. It was a silly bandwagon that we all jumped on with little thought or logical reasoning behind it. Well, last night I jumped right off.

      I bet if there wasn't a DGW on the (distant) horizon for him most of us wouldn't have bothered getting him in. Or be considering keeping him now.
