    does this look okay???

    westwood > howard
    smalling > bae/walker (suggest plz.....i knw bae is cheaper...)
    silva > donovan

    for a 4 pt hit????....or is it an overkill of everton players????....considering i have drenthe as well as bale and ade for spurs cover...

      I also say Bale. He should play 90mins both games which is 4 pts minimum, or 8 if he's your captain. Not too bad a return for 1 GW considering today's low scores.

    Gentlemen,

    Have saved up 2 FTs this week but as usual, I don't really know what to do. I have narrowed it down to the following two choices, would love to hear some feedback!

    A: All out double GW
    Nani -> Bale
    Kompany -> Baines

    B: The safety
    Brown -> McAuley/Caulker
    Evans -> Gallas

    The way I see it, the best returns this GW will come from Bale/VdV/Ade + the TOT defence. I have Drenthe, and to be honest outside of Baines, I don't really want another EVE player as I will get rid as soon as the WC is active anyways. Nani & Kompany would get bought back as soon as, but I would loose some cash on them, and they might both rise before I can get them back in, too risky?
    Any feedback is most welcome!

    Cheers

      A third option is taking a 4pt hit and getting Donovan for Nani, Ade for Ba and upgrade Evans/Brown to BAE/Walker. Allows a good way of getting rid of Ba before the ACON, as well as shipping out the broken Evans - but Nani will be hard to get back...
