City’s in-form frontman continues to catch the eye. Newcastle’s on-loan forward also impresses, while we cast an eye over a couple of midlands-based midfielders and assess attacking threat from the back over this weekend and the last six Gameweeks:

    Need some advice, please, deadzoners:

    My current squad is:
    Mignolet 4.0
    Evra Coleman Walker Chico Chester
    Ozil Michu Ramsey Brady Ward-Prowse
    Aguero Suarez Lukaku

    Want to do Michu -> Silva, but have nothing the bank, so need to raise 0.6 at least. What do you think a good way of doing that is?

    Possibles were doing Evra -> Nasty or Rat, or even Walker -> Dawson (which seems very sideways). There's also Ozil -> Oscar/Hazard. Thoughts? Other ideas?

      I'd do Özil -> Oscar as Arsenal fixtures get pretty tough.

        Arsenal have SOT car HUL EVE after this week. Not fantastic but certainly not terrible either. I think my temptation to lose Ozil is driven mainly be a bad fixture this week, which is bad reasoning really.

      Keep Ozil, Jim, He will score well in FPL.

      Prefer the defender's route to Aguero as they are lowest scorers.

      Rat has the fixxies and is 4.5. Evra->Rat.

        Yeah, I was initially tempted to lose Ozil, but think it might be crazy. Oxil -> Walcott when Walcott is back and established may be the way I eventually go.

        Rat was subbed on 90 mins on Saturday - that was just tactical (chasing a goal), right? Don't want to bring him in and then get an unwelcome discovery!

      Assume you don't have Suarez? What about aguero?
      Michu > Ramsey is a good move
      If you need a good captain choice this weekend then Sturridge is 3rd best choice other than the above mentioned imo and may be worth the hit.

          Fair enough, I haven't looked at his previous weeks stats, to be honest.

          Every time I've watched him on MOTD he's always seemed to have a decent opp each game, though - strange that he hasn't produced the goods this season isn't it - must be a pain in the arse to own!

          Taylor may be dropped when Davies comes back, so I wouldn't risk him.
          And about Chelsea midfielder, Oscar and Hazard are the obvious premium choices here and IMO there is not much between them, so me for example, I just went with the cheaper one.

    Champions League Preview
    Matchday 4
    Man City vs. CSKA Moskva- Prediction 3-0: City’s home form is irresistible and they should continue their delightful form against CSKA. Best options here are Aguero, Silva and Toure.
    Punt-Kolarov

    Real Sociead vs. Man. United- Prediction 1-2: Away form isn’t the best and they are conceding goals, however Rooney and Chicarito should be in for some goals/assist. RVP will most likely be rested.
    Punt- Valencia

    Juventus vs. Real Madrid- Prediction 1-2: Real Banged in 7 against a hapless Sevilla side on Thursday night. Look for more goals to come; I strongly suggest holding Ronaldo, however Isco has been benched in the past two UCL matches so look to move him on.
    Punt- Tevez

    København vs.Galatasaray- Prediction 0-1: This is a tough game to predict, I think Kobenhavn will be tough to break down at the back. So look for a tight game that could go either way. With 6 and 4 league goals respectively, Drogba and Sneijder are your best bets, however I would avoid with upcoming home and away ties with Juventus and Madrid.
    Punt- Emmanuel Eboue

    Paris Saint Germain vs. Anderlecht- Prediction 4-
    How impressive was Zlatan in the away leg? Already earning plenty of suitors for the home leg he looks a great option, against the struggling Anderlecht who has struggled so far. However Blanc (PSG’s coach) has stated both his strikers Cavani and Ibra have thigh issues and as a result could be rested. http://au.eurosport.com/football/champions-league/2012-2013/psg-s-cavani-and-ibrahimovic-doubts-for-anderlecht-tie_sto3992833/story.shtml Keep an eye out on the squads. At the back Thiago Silva will make his return and Gregor Van Der Wiel’s runs down the flank will surely earn more attacking returns.
    Punt-Lucas Moura
    *Note Cavani is out and Ibrahimovic is fit.

    Plzeň vs. Bayern- Prediction 1-5- It is all about the visitors for this game. Arjen Robben will again miss out with a groin problem. Toni Korros should be fit though and Jérôme Boateng is back after suspension. I think Muller will start up front and Ribery on the flank. Expect a thrashing with Plzen to sneak in a goal.
    Punt-Mario Gotze- should start in place of Robben.

    Shakhtar Donetsk vs. Leverkusen- Prediction-2-2: This game for me spells goals. The first leg resulted in a 4-0 win to Bayer, with Kiessling and Rolfes once again getting on the scoresheet look at these two as solid options again. However it is Leverkusen’s loss to Braunschweig, and Donestk’s 7-0 win on the weekend that has my eyeing out a couple of their assets. Douglas Costa (6.0) and Alex Teixeira (5.5), look great options in midfield, after both scored a brace at the weekend.
    Punt-Luiz Adirano

    Olympiacos vs. Benfica- Prediction 1-0
    This game could go either away, if you fancy Olympiacos I’d look at Mitrogolou, otherwise Weiss is cheap at 4.0. Benfica’s defence has been good, they are undefeated in 5 league games. Luisao and Lazar Markovic are good options

    Punt- Ola John

    Zenit St Petersburg vs. Porto- Prediction 0-1: I think FC Porto will fight back and earn a tough win in the return leg for Zenit. However both teams have shown defensive resilience so look at Mangala and Lombaerts for Zenit.

    Chelsea vs. Schalke- Prediction 3-1: Chelsea will look to cement the place in the 2nd round of the UCL with a home tie against a German Side in poor form. I expect Chelsea to score goals, however will likely concede 1 or to themselves. Can’t go past Oscar, Hazard, Schurle after midweek rest.
    Punt- If your mad Torres.

    Basel vs. Steaua- Prediction 2-0: Basel should get a comfortable result here; Marco Streller and Mohammad Salah are your best differentials here.
    Punt- Federico Piovaccari could offer some value for the away side, he has 5 goals in the league and 3 goals in Champions league (including play offs)

    Dortmund vs.Arsenal- Prediction 1-0: I think Arsenal will struggle against a secure Dortmund defence. The travel should play a part, along with a rotated side. Your best option from Dortmund is without a doubt Lewandoski.
    Punt- Mats Hummels/Ramsey

    Napoli vs. Marseille- Prediction 3-1: Marseille have really struggled in all competitions this year and have lost 5 out of their last 6. Napoli on the other hand are flying in Serie A currently 2nd, Hamsik is flourishing in the number 10 position and Higuian is in pretty good form to.
    Punt-Jose Callejon

    Atlético vs.Austria Wien- Prediction 4-0: Costa is in great form, along with David Villa, both should get starts and get points. At the back looks good for defensive returns with Austria Wien failing to find the scoresheet in the first 3 games, Juanfran and Filipe Luis are good options
    Punt- Raul Garcia

    Ajax vs. Celtic- Prediction 0-0- Don’t think either team are good investment with games against Milan and Barcelona to come.

    Captain Options
    Aguero/Ronaldo/Ibrahomvic>>>Oscar/ Turan/Texeira

    Should I transfer Ben Davies and Rose out rather than waiting for them to return???
    Quite tough GWs are coming for my defence, I have Rangel, Lovren, Curtis Davies, so need someone to rotate... I have decided to go with Aston and west brom defender, and bring a west brom GK in place of Szcezny to rotate with Boruc... What are ur thoughts???
