    Help me make my final decisions for my WC:

    A: Keep Benteke and Ben Arfa
    B: Benteke ---> Rooney, Keep Ben Arfa
    C: Benteke and Ban Arfa ---> Rooney and Barkley (£2.4M in bank)
    D: Benteke and Ban Arfa ---> Aguero and Barkley (£2.0M in bank)

    The money in the bank could be used to upgrade my weak defence or upgrade Giroud to Rooney/Aguero/Suarez

        Yeah I agree, dont have any other city/united cover.

        If I bring in rooney and barkley I could upgrade Turner (NOR) to Zaba for city cover?

    Apologies if this has already been answered, but doesn't a flag increase the threshold of price falls? ie shouldn't it take more than 100% price fall on TotalFPL for Benteke to fall by 0.1m? Or am I completely wrong?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years

      Well the thresholds vary so Coutinho needs more to fall than Walcott. But I think none at FPL towers own Benteke so they've fixed his threshold really low.
