    On my WC and my team is as follows

    Given XXX
    Shaw MTurner Vidic Coleman Chester
    Walcott Whittingham HBA XXX XXX
    RvP Benteke XXX

    As you can see i have 4 postions up for grabs. I have 27.7 for these four final places. I have narrowed my serach down to the following -

    Mignolet Lampard WP Soldado
    Mignolet Taraabt Snoddy Soldado
    DDG Lemela WP Lambert

    Which do you prefer? If none of the above any other thoughts for 27.7?

      I had to gamble on bringing in Sturridge before the rise and if he didn't get injured it definitely wouldve been a double rise. In hindsight might seem a bit hasty, but it was still the right thing to do in my opinion. If I was so worried about injuries, I wouldve played my WC.

    Bit of a different dilemma from the usual ones being thrown about.

    I have Foster/Boruc GK combo at the moment and need to replace Foster because of his injury, want to do it next week ideally, only have 0.2 in the bank so need a keeper for 5.1 or less.

    My current options are

    A) Vorm
    B) Krul
    C)Other (suggestion?)

    I notice that Newcastle have really good home and away rotation, but Swansea seem to rotate fairly well in difficulty of fixtures (albeit playing home at the same times). Any help appreciated.

    How to win your ml (dirty tricks but no cheating!)

    1. Always taunt rivals. It works every time. They get nervous!

    2. If you're ahead send messages or speak to rivals and tell them exactly what you're going to do with your captain Then do it! They'll start punting to be different and lose points they'll be too proud to copy you they'll forget its a marathon not a sprint then in a few gws they'll be a hundred points behind

    3. Don't be biased and bring in people you hate. But don't let your rivals know it. And suddenly bring in your most hated player at the last minute if he's going to do well. Works best end of season.

    4.People don't like their teams getting hacked. But if they leave their team logged in always take a look. If they're tinkering and they've got loads of transfers that's the team they're trying to get to in about 6 weeks time. That's pretty stupid because there's no way prices will stay the same, injuries won't happen and there won't be any bandwagons. But they like to dream and tinker and this way you can probably predict what they'll do for the next two weeks.

    5.Give the best fpl advice to any women in the mini league. Men hate getting beaten by girls so start punting more and losing. Also you could end up going out with her after the season ends.

    6. Change your names to taunt your rivals as well as using the forum. Nothing worse than beating geoff is your team name is called 'I made geoff my...'

    7 tell rivals that you plan to bring in all their players so they can't catch up. This drives them mad

    8. Use reverse psychology whener you can. Start giving good advice (near season end) and they'll do the opposite

    9. Tell them you're not going to make any transfers to let them catch up. Make sure you have a big lead before doing this. They'll get annoyed when you're still more successful than them (don't do it for more than three weeks)

    10. Last but best. If you've got a huuuge lead before the end of the season, really start humiliating them. Do 20 transfers for a huge hit. Or say the dog picked the team. People don't like getting beaten by animals or generally anything with a tail.

    First ever RMWCT for me, so be nice 😛

    Migs, Davis
    Ivan, Zabs, Coleman (Chester, Chambers)
    Coutinho, Lamps, Hernandez, Wally (WP)
    Soldado, Giroud, Tekkers

    Planning to do Sturride -> Soldado next week.
    This leave 0.0 in the bank, which I feel is a rsk. Considering Hernandez -> Barkley/Brady.

    Thoughts?

    So, my only question is this: Should we have RvP or not? With 46% ownership it feels imperative that we should, yet 14m means my beautiful forward lineup of Giroud, Soldado and Benteke needs to be broken. Is RvP worth it??

    My team currently:
    Marshall (Vorm)
    Zabaleta, Mertesacker, Chester (Toure, Turner)
    Brady, Coutinho, Nolan, Walcott (Mirallas)
    Benteke (c), Giroud (v), Soldado

    Is RvP necessary?
