    Ia Yaya worth it?

    I've got 9.1m for a midfielder next week

    No city, arsenal, liverpool midfield cover.

      No. Better value in the 5-6m range.

      Having no Liverpool midfield cover is advisable.

          Ade has taken the last few with VdV on the pitch. I think it has to be him for the 3rd striker spot. I thought about Graham but Sinclair and Siggy seem to take most of his goals. Ade is the focal point for Spurs and this bad run of theirs has to end soon.

            It's just not true, Ade has taken 1 penalty whilst he was on the pitch and that might have been down to VDV hamstring playing up.

    And another thing. All you lot looking for advice on what subs to make... The scout offers a dazzling array of tools... Watchlist/Individual player reports/tickers/frisks. Be a man and use them and stop asking others if santon to caulker and a 4 point hit is worth it. Pathetic.

          that's what the site is all about. obviously it gets busy at certain times and is quiet at others but that's the way of it. the website is absolutely first class and you'd have to be an idiot not to improve your FPL game through it. i started using the site in Jan 2011 and rocketed up my mini leagues, this year the only person above me is a guy ranked 25 in the world. why on earth would you even contemplate Valencia on the bench away to Wolves? zero sympathy for you my friend!!

            I don't claim to know everything equally I don't lean on everyone else to make my decisions for me. Wading through everybody's cry's for help to read something topical or interesting I just find tiresome. How often to you read an excellent piece by the contributors for someone to reply with this guy>that guy and that one>him for 4 point hit? I made the suggestion that surgery orientated questions should have a specific area for the site. If someone bothers to write an informative piece at least attempt to make some attempt to continue along the same topic.

    Argh, what to do with a problem like David Silva?

    My current midfield: Silva, Valencia, McClean, Valencia, Gerrard, Bale.

    I want to bring Walcott in, but at the expense of Gerrard. I seriously just don't see any other alternatives to Silva (e.g. a midfielder who you can play week-in, week-out).

    Sorry for double post, but this drowned at the bottom of last comment page: What about Hernandez for third striker? Thinking that when he starts he is an immediate threat for one or more goals, and when he doesn’t, he’ll be auto-subbed… Only (major) concern is whether he’ll come of the bench for the last ten minutes of several games…. Thoughts?

    That's it, FPL OFFICIALLY SUCKS!!! What a huge step back this year, it is just inconceivable.
    Just a year ago, bonus points were awarded in 1 hour after the last game EVERY FREAKING DAY with NO FREAKING DELAYS and the whole game updated in 1-2 hours after that. Unbelievably clumsy negligent bastards are running the game this year who just don't care at all about what they are doing.
    And don't even make me start on the stupid new rules when assists are awarded just for sending the ball into the penalty area regardless of what's happening after that.

      Yep, the overall game experience is poorer than it was last year. The PPI-laden bonus points awards might work for US sports where a high emphasis on statisical output is the norm but in football it doesn't work like that. I'll give them a pass for this year in the hope the weighting of PPI is tweaked next season.

      This prolonged waiting for the game to be updated is a bit of farce in this day and age.

    Jeez, looking at the Everton v Arsenal gamecast last night and Kieran Gibbs' average position was practically the equivalent to Walcott's! Kid sure does like to bomb on.

    This 3rd striker spot stuff is damn frustrating

    Do I keep Ba, swap for Dave. Risk a City or Chelsea player, go for Pog, hope Spurs' form picks up and get Ade, or go cheap and get Graham, Jelavic or Hoillet

      Keep Ba imo... Have you watched his games? I think people who are saying to get rid, are not watching his games, only looking at his scores... he's been unlucky

        but I can't afford passengers at this point, a striker who isn't scoring is no good to me. It's why I didn't get Suarez.

          I understand your point... but I don think it's the same case... Suarez didn't score well all season.. Ba did. Last games he missed a pen and had some shots on target and one hit the post.I will give him two more GWs....

        yep agree with this. i am disappointed as i brought him into my Sun dream team and he has done NOTHING - not having Rooney and keeping VDV has seen me tumble down the standings. funnily enough i am playing for a LOT more cash in the Sun leagues but only really care about FPL!!

        I'm starting to think, if Ba scores any time soon I'll just keep him....I dunno, so tough.

    Any Drenthe owners still going strong? Disallowed goal was a sickener wasn't it? Anyway, what are you all doing with him? I am tempted Drenthe > Siggy and Kelly > Evans next week, need some MU defensive cover. Drenthe's pitch time looks really limited, don't think he's completed 90 mins all season long plus rotation danger when all players are back fit again.

      Tell me about it!! I was gutted, along with that stoke goal it couldn't have gotten any worse...think Drenthe will have to go next week, or bench him and save the transfer for when I'm desperate. Siggy looks like the obvious change, Pilkington (WOL) looks tempting too!

        I have Surman anyway plus Pilkington's place in the line up is far from assured. I reckon Siggy is the man to go for, it is a shame because I think Drenthe is a brilliant player and has great FPL potential, that's why I'm stil averse to binning him!!
