    Just back in. Has Hulk looked at all threatening in the 2nd half so far? Or has the red card killed the threat?

    Should I wildcard??? PLEASE POST YOUR COMMENTS BECAUSE I AM REALLY STUCK

    My team at the moment is:
    Mignolet (Davis)
    Coleman, Zabeleta, Mertesaker (Chester, Brayford)
    Mirallas, Brady, Ozil, Michu (Lucas)
    Soldado, Giroud, Struridge

    Please leave your thoughts. First season in FPL and ranked 200,000. Want to bring in some better defenders and get rid of lot's of awful players. What do you think?

      200,000 is really not bad I'm around 700,000 your team is not bad at all just need to shuffle players over time. I watched a whole bunch of people play their WC and then take -8 point hits the very next game week. Just take a deep breath and maybe take a strategic -4 hit when needed

      It's hard to be concerned imo when there's so many strikers bringing in consistent points right now. At $14 mil, he doesn't just have to be the top scoring forward to justify his price, he needs to be the top scoring forward by a decent margin.

      As long as you've got Sturridge, Suarez, Rooney, Giroud, now maybe even Lukaku putting up points weekly, it's hard to be concerned when RVP is not even matching them at the moment.
