    So is Valencia and fletcher -> siggy and Rooney a good move this week?

    Either that or fletcher to yak and keep a transfer (or get rid of Lindy).

    Cheers

    2 FT and 0.4m in the bank. Gonna wait until GW26 to make any changes but want to get an idea of my best options

    Mignolet Sorensen

    Kompany Vermaelen Evans Taiwo Kelly

    Bale Silva Dempsey Valencia McClean

    RVP Aguero Graham

    I was thinking Verm & Graham > Ba and a cheaper defender but I would rather hear if you have any better ideas.

        McClean is now worth more than Aguero in my eyes, especially since I took out BAE and Ade last week to fund the Kun(t)!

    Unsurprisingly want to bring in Aguero this week - so how about:

    Sess -> McClean

    and

    Dzeko -> Aguero

    Alternatively I have any of Dempsey, Bale, Silva, Valencia, BAE, or Richards to downgrade. Really appreciate any advice, not keen to get rid of any of them for a -4 hit, but I think Aguero is a must for two gws.

      That looks like a good move, just hope that Sess doesn't kick off some more 😛

        Nice one.

        Also, Arsenal, Chelsea, Utd, City and Stoke play in Europe. Beware of Zlatan breaking some of those Arsenal pansies in half. He likes the occasional 'De Jong kick'.

    Surely Aguero will fall from second place on the watch list having scored just two goals in eight games. I hate to say it but he reminds me a lot of Suarez looking busy but squandering a bucket full of chances a game

      But the experts say his home form is great but I can only see 1 pen and 1 goal scored in 8 games. Wish I'd stuck with Rooney

    Is it mental, mental to even think of letting go of RVP for a few weeks to bring in Aguero? Gonna get rid of Silva after the two home games for Yaya (I think!!!!) Team lniked
