Haven't seen/heard anything since last night; what's story with Enrique? Out definitely and for how long?

Why've ppl gone off Ba, just because of the Chelsea interest or something else?

Team for this GW

Jask,
Demel, Cameron, Ridg
Mata, Walcott, Snod, Piennar
Cole, RVP (C), Suarez

Subs : Ming, Sess, Shorey, Enrique
1 FT + 4.4 in the bank

a) Should i play Ming for Jask
b) Should i play 3-5-2 with Cole on bench
c) Any other formation or change in my bench
d) Any transfers you recoomend. Am thinking to save it as there is lot of uncertanity of players being rested.

So need some opinions:

Begovic
rafael demel davies (cueller *enrique*)
sterling walcott tarabt *michu* (*bale*)
rvp berbs suarez

Have 1.5m and 1FT....so what would you recommend?
A: taraabt + enrique >> fellaini/oscar + sagna for a hit
B: tarabt + enrique >> fellaini + hughes for a hit...will leave me with funds to do sterling >> nolan next gw
C: tarabt >> brunt and dont take a hit. will leave me with funds for sterling >> nolan next gw.
D: bale >> mata....but scared he gets rested.

Cant think of anything else to do....upgrade berba?

@Lateriser

Your team value must be ridiculous to afford a front 8 like that; not to mention 3 solid defenders from top teams. Jealous.

Go with your gut bud; screw the benching headache. What a luxury to have.

Bench Michu away to Everton in GW22.

Im leaning towards using wildcard straight away.

I know many saying wait till after the DGW . however most the casuals will
use straight away and it should be possible to maximise price rises etc , especaiaaly
as next week a long one.
Also team starting to creak , and using wildcard early could be a good chance to jump ahead,
it not really that important to use after the double as can take a week or two to take out the DGW plyers anyway

  I'm activating it immediately myself. Planned it thoroughly.
  
  10-day gap between GW21 and 22; lots of time to assess the early signings (Ba to Chelsea) and an opportunity to catch multiple rises.
  
  It will help me prepare for the DGW as well; don't really want to take hits at this point in the season.

        Did you hear that Newcastle have to pay him a £2million "loyalty bonus" if he leaves??
        What a kick in the teeth.

Morning all,

Sorry if this has been clarified already but according to FPL, Luiz has now had 5 YCs; so why isn't he banned for 1 match???

    He picked another yellow up in the league cup i think. He's already served his ban and is now on 6 yellow cards

Hey folks

I have 1 FT and £0.7m in the bank.

Begovic, Ruddy

Nelsen, Enrique, Demel, Cuellar, Gorkks

Mata, Michu, Bale, Walcott, Sterling

RVP, Aguero, Berbatov

Was thinking a -4 for:

In: Sagna, Bassong
Out: Enrique, Gorkks

Thoughts please?
Thank you

Enrique n sterling for fellaini and sagna for -4 ? Dont have enough for gibbs and sagna is a nice differential. It also gives me 5 strong midfeilders in case of ( inevitable) suprise rests over the next few weeks.

  Looks ok - I have a feeling Sterling could do something tomorrow though...
