Theo Walcott’s return helps Olivier Giroud to claim second spot in our ICT Index rankings, denied only by the talents of Dimitar Berbatov.

Can you guys give me some early advice for the upcoming GW
Schwarzer Federici
Baines Hangeland Boyce Cameron Tomkins
Bale Caz Pienaar Michu Noble
RVP Berba Lambert
Want to ship Lambert out but Caz also playing too deep, the Schwarzer/Hangeland combo is flawed and Fellaini is the better option than Pienaar, question is which move do I make first with 1 FT and 0 in the bank?Open Controls
I've just knee jerked and ignored my planning (could cause longer term issues )
Just hit the trigger on...
Santi & tevez - out
Felliani & saurez (should had done berba perhaps ?) - in
Mistake, or should be ok 🙄 ?Open Controls
Right, done the first part of my 4 point hit. For the second part, who should I ship out to get Mata?
A. Cazorla
B. Bale
C. Michu
Thanks.Open Controls
Michu to Silva for a 4 point hit or just do it next week- already offloaded Tevez for Berba, have no City coverage now.
Open ControlsSimilar position to me (see above). Wait a bit.
Open ControlsAre you waiting too? Or is Mata worth a hit more than Silva is?
Open Controls
So you just got rid of a City striker before their home game against Villa and now you're looking to lose the best value midfielder. No no no.
Open ControlsIt's a calculated risk yes. But I'd rather have the "star" or focal point of a team than a rotation risk in a team of stars. Fantasy football is all about the individuals, the selfish players, the guys playing at a level beyond their team. Berbatov is this.
Open Controls
Do you think tevez will start against villa when city also play Real Madrid a few days later ?
Open Controls
Open Controls😀 great film, great gif
Open Controls
Like the look of my team for next weekend with making a transfer.. dunno who to put to my bench is all..
Open Controls
2.1 in the bank and 2FTs
Hazard to Silva and Tevez to Aguero?
Leaves me 1m to upgrade the defence if necessary...
Worth it?
Or overkill?Open Controls
Anyone think Tevez could be benched next weekend with Dzeko showing some decent form?
Open Controls
aguero will play in midweek and possibly dzeko and balotelli too so tevez will probably play
Open Controls
Suarez or RVP captain this week? Tough choice!
Open Controls
Looking at doing this..
Michu> Walcott
Bad Santi> Silva or Mata
Hughes > Gorkks (to fund it)
Seem like good transfersOpen ControlsCheck Walcott injury status
Open Controls
A. Cuellar & Crouch > Gorkss & Berbs -4
B. Caz & Crouch > Walcott & Berbs -4
C. Caz, Cuellar & Crouch > Mata, Gorkss & Berbs -8
D. Michu & Crouch > Ramirez/Hernandez & Berbs -4 (leaves enough for Cazorla > Mata next week)
Alternatively, could be Saylor out instead of Cuellar.Open Controls
A for me, Caz -> ? next week
Open Controls
Lost on bottom of last page! Is Lambert to Berbs worth a hit ?
Open Controls
Nearly everything I've almost done in this game this season would have got me a decent amount of points.
Nearly everything I actually do costs me points.
I know over the season its inevitable that quite a few close decisions go wrong but this has just been ridiculous 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡Open Controls
You are not alone... 🙁
Open ControlsJust seen I got thrashed in the PP Cup bu some lurker now ranked 460k as well 🙁
Open ControlsI got lucky, tied with a knobhead who I was sure would beat me after yesterday. Luckily his OR is worse than mine...

Beautiful...Open Controls
Well I sold giroud this week to get Rvp in. For a hit too.
Open Controls
is having rvp and rooney overkill for the next couple of weeks
Open ControlsI think so, takes up a lot of your budget. Just have RVP.
Open Controls
Had a shocking week only got 37 pts , considering changes tonight .
Beg Jussi
Baines Rafa Sagna Cuellar Demel
Caz Hba Michu Ramirez Sterling
Rvp Tevez Crouch
1 ft 0.6 in bank
Thinking Tevez Crouch Hba out , Suarez Berba Fellaini in for an 8 pt hit .
Sound good or am I just point chasing ?
CheersOpen ControlsHBA and Tevez out, only those two for now, save rest for next week
Open Controls
First week of Paddy Power Cup and i have a shocker, no surprise there.
It was a difficult away draw though, can concentrate on league now.Open Controls
Hmmmm, 2 points is all that separates 5th and 10th place overall.
Open Controls
Evening lads. So I reckon I'll get in Fellaini with my free transfer but I'm not sure if it's Michu or Cazorla that I should shift to bring him in? Thoughts greatly appreciated.
Open Controls
Def, set pieces are a major coup
Open Controls
With decent striking options thoughts on getting Silva in? In my opinion he really is the catalyst of good city attacking play
Open Controls
In my opinion Silva coming back should mean you invest in their forwards as he'll increase the amount of goals they'll get with his great vision and passing.
Open ControlsThat's a fair point. Just with RVP, Berbs, Ba, Saurez etc and city attacking minefield Silva is a good way in.
Open Controls
F**k it. I'm going to bring him in as his ownership is getting ridiculous and it would be very worrying to go without him.
What do you think of:
Hazard -> Mata and Michu -> Fellaini for a hit?Open Controls
Just when everyone engines to think about ditching Baines,mwe're all reminded that even his 2-pointers are 4-pointers
Open ControlsTo Baines owners: http://i.imgur.com/sFyJu.gif
Open ControlsI agree. Solid fantasy player
Open Controls
Keep Ba or swap to Suarez for a free transfer? Other strikers are RVP and Berbs.
Open ControlsSaurez
Open Controls
tevez at home to villa. No midweek friendly meaning he will start
thinking of bringing in berbatov myself for tevez but could possibly wait till next week.Open ControlsWe definitely think he's going to start? Tevez to Berbs was an option for me but think it will be better getting Berbs in for Crouch for a hit.
Open ControlsI think he will start as he will be rested midweek. Aguero could possibly be benched and can see tevez and dzeko starting
Open Controls
Selling a player with a good fixture in the hope the replacement does better seems to always backfire.
How did your paddy power cup tie go?Open Controlsit's due to his positioning. V spurs he was playing wide/deeper role. With silva back it seems that will be his position if he plays. Not a great option I feel now.
Open Controls
I've just sold him.
I fear for him in my team... (sub)Open Controls
Team linked - feels like I don't need to make a transfer? Suggestions?
Open ControlsBa to Saurez for a hit?
Open Controls
time for Michu to go........thoughts??
Open Controls
Hope plenty of regulars made the next round of the cup, not enough matches where peeps new each other, seems nearly everyone was playing a lurker 🙂
