Does anyone know when Ba's price is gonna rise? Tonight maybe?
Open Controlsbest 5.1 defender

Capello in Italian radio:
"I considered and still consider Terry the England captain. I think we first should wait for the trial conclusion"
"I completely disagree with the FA about the John Terry decision,n I have told that to the chairman"Open ControlsBringing someone in for Shotton. 5.1m in the bank
I'm thinking either
Senderos
Kelly
Taiwo
Which of these? Or anyone else who could do a job?Open ControlsQuickie guys. Im selling sess to fund for Ba.
Best replacement. McClean. Sigurdsson. Moses. Dyer. Which one guys. Cheers.Open ControlsRMT for next GW please
Hart
Richards EvansJ Caulker
Bale Demps Valencia Siggy
RVP Aguero Ba
(Sorenson - Kelly, HBA, BAE) ... three mill in bank, FT already used shipping WaltersOpen ControlsI'm most concerned about BAE and HBA and looking for a good exit plan (or reassurance on HBA...)
Open Controls
Play Mignolet home to Arsenal, Sorensen @ Fulham or get another keeper for £4.8m?
Open ControlsBest defender for a budget of £5.3?
Open ControlsWho have you got at the moment?
Open ControlsDepends what defenders you have already to avoid doubling up. Bardsley. Santon, Simpson, Sendersos, Caulker all seem reasonable for their price.
Open Controls🙂 So what do you think? Posted my defs above.
Open Controls
Time is MOTD?
Open ControlsWhens Yaya likely to be back from ACON. Silva > Yaya & Graham > Ba could be transfers I'd like to do sooner rather later....
Open ControlsThats a good idea for me too. Ta. 😉

selling Enrique to fund Ba
what defender should i get for 5.1
im thinking Evans J what do ye thinkOpen Controlshmm JEvans got -1 today and has Liverpool next, if you can afford to bench him then do so, otherwise.
Open Controls
If i do Walters--->Siggy who would one bench from this front 8:
Siggy, McClean, Valencia, Bale, Silva
RVP Aguero Ba
Considering sitting ValenciaOpen ControlsAverage 41, highest 107 ...
Open Controlsthought the average would be higher this week
Open ControlsThere's plenty of teams about (many not active) that don't have RVP. Other than him (and Rooney) it's been a pretty low scoring week.
Open ControlsA lot of the inactive teams have Rooney, though.
Open Controls
The average for, let's say, the 100k would be much higher than that. Therefore, if you are in the top 100k and scored around 60, you shouldn't expect a significant rise in the rankings.

1 ft
rooney to aguero
or
sturridge to baOpen ControlsTake a 4 point hit and do both. I was so lucky today with Rooney
Open Controls
having watched the newcastle game and having planned to get in ba, i have opted for cisse instead
ba was playing off cisse and apart from his goal didnt have an opportunity whearas cisse had 3-4 good chances#he looks to be the focal point like for senegal and see him scoring more than ba imoOpen Controlshmm interesting. I was looking at both, Cisse is affordable, Ba is not right now without a hit, or hoping he doesn't rise past 7.6.
Open ControlsTrue but worth noting that for most of the 1st half of the season Ba played off Best/Shola and was prolific in that role. Obviously Cisse is a different player to those to in that he's more mobile but wouldn't rule out Ba by any means.
Also Ba wasn't quite up to speed today (nor Cisse) and he'll play much better than today. Cisse could be a good differential though.Open ControlsI'd rather have Ba, but unless I take a hit (which I'm loathed to do) I fear he will be out of my price range, hence why I'm considering Cisse
Open Controls
Concerned at not having Dempsey, not because everyone in my mini league has him but becasue only a select few do, he’s a bit of a differential and i am chasing. Valencia is also a differential but Dempsey seems more explosive. What do you reckon:
A – Valencia, Sess, Morison -> Dempsey, Siggy, Cisse
B – Sess & Morison -> Siggy & Ba. (Keep Valencia and go without Dempsey)
Leaning towards A myself.Open ControlsNo, i have two free transfers so i could get Dempsey & Siggy in this week and Cisse in the following. I doubt i'd play him against Spurs anyway.
Open ControlsGood move to me. I want to sell Morison too, but i'll wait for 1 more week to see the Ba+Cisse partnership vs Spurs defence. Have enough to afford either, so don't want the wrong one in a game where i don't think Newcastle will score many. Probably selling Sess this week myself, for Sinclair or Siggy
Open ControlsAh i take it you were burned by Lambert this weekend aswell then! Yeah, i would prefer Ba but he is getting unbelievably expensive now. Cisse actually looked more threatening today and was definitely playing higher up. Looking to bring Taarabt in for The Ox in the coming weeks, i'll rotate him with Siggy.
Open Controls
Get Dempsey in. I need Ba to rise .2 before Saturday to do Roon--Aguero and Sess--Demps for -4. Don't like takin hits but happy to do this one.
Open Controlswhy does Ba affect that transfer?
Open ControlsHe's the only player with the potential to rise .2 otherwise i miss out by .1
Open ControlsSo you are selling Ba?
Open Controlsyes but if you're not selling Ba his rise has no effect on your budget.
Open ControlsRight right cheers guys, have to make another plan.
Open Controls
A

Moses
Open Controls
any news on senderos' injury?
Open ControlsIf you could only pick one out of Dempsey and Sessegnon, Who would it be? 🙂
Open ControlsWould u bring in Ba to replace:
Aguero or Zamora? RVP stays!Open ControlsZamora
Open Controls
Ba's price is going flipping mental. Once he's hit .3 rise for this week he'll end the week on 500% or something ridiculous.
Open Controlshas he had 1 or 2 rises this week?
Open ControlsOh two I guess. So only .1 more to go.
Open ControlsYIPPEE I can get Ba next week 😀
Open ControlsHate to burst your bubble - but he's only had one rise so far this week. The GW only started yesterday.
Open ControlsYeah no this is right. In my head it's Monday for some reason.
Open Controlsok, well if Ba manages to hold at 7.6 (which I doubt, I'll do Taiwo-Kelly and Gerbil - Ba. Otherwise I'll just get Cisse.
Open Controls
🙁
Open ControlsSorry. Better that you heard it from me than some stranger, who's not sure whether it's Monday or not...
Open Controlsit's fine, better I know then get to over-excited, only to see him hit 7.7. You think my plan above is a good one?
Open ControlsHard to be completely certain, but on today's evidence it does look like Cisse plays more in advance of Ba - so it might actually be a better move to get him. But many, many people have been burnt by basing their transfer strategy on the evidence of one match.
As an example, I've heard it mentioned (though can't remember it myself) that Torres scored a hat-trick once.Open Controlsmay bench Gerbil for 1 week then, re-asses after GW25 and then use my 2 FTs to do any regiging necessary
Open ControlsNot a bad idea. Not sure how much more we'll learn from Newcastle away at Spurs - but also be careful of Djibril's price dropping.
Open ControlsHe is red flagged, so won't it take more NTOs to make it drop? If it looks like it will I will just make the transfer.
Open ControlsHe was only added on Feb 1st, though - not sure how that will affect things. Normally (previous seasons) the first 8-10 days were used to determine a players ownership, and then the drop thresholds were created from this 'original' ownership (and in the meantime, the price couldn't change). This might be good news as, if the same is true this year, then he shouldn't go down in price before the next GW. The downside is, of course, that he could drop in price without any warning. My guess? I think you'll be OK.
Open Controls
Caulker or Evans
any better options for 5.1Open Controlsbarfa > Ox or Siggy?
Open ControlsI'll rephrase, should I get rid of Zamora and bring in Ba?
Open ControlsIMO if your 3rd striker is not a cheapie (Graham/Keane/Fletch) it's gonna be Zamora or Ba/Cisse. It's not an obvious one because Zamora could profit from being the main striker whereas the goals could/will be shared between Ba & Cisse. QPR fixtures are looking good and Newcastle are away to Spurs next GW so I would leave Bobby Z for now.
Open Controls
Everyone changing two or three to get Ba i think Cisse might be the better value
Open ControlsKrul Mignolet
Enrique RTaylor Taiwo Shotton Senderos
Silva Bale Sess Sinclair Walters
RVP Aguero Helguson
Need to get Helguson and Walters out.
Going to get Demba Ba back in, who would you replace walters with 5.1m to spend??????
Thanks allOpen Controls1FT. Should I get rid of Shotton for Stephen Kelly? Good move? 🙂
