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:

Open ControlsRepost from moi Jin :
Does Michu / Mira / Nolan to Hazza /silva / januzzi work for a -4 ?Open ControlsDefinitely A or C for me. I suppose it's sensible to keep Giroud with his upcoming fixtures after the United game, but, bringing in Benteke now could seriously jump you up the rankings if he starts banging them in...
Tricky one, go with your gut I'd say...Open Controls
quick question lads ...
best midfielder to have in ur team to partner these 3 ..

Would you do :

Did anyone see this hialrious story about Joe Kinnear the other day?
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-transfer-news-joe-kinnear-2670971
"Kinnear raved to City chiefs about midfielder Shane Ferguson during the club’s Capital One Cup tie against Swansea in September. But when he asked about signing him, Brum bosses thought he was winding them up – because Ferguson is on loan at St Andrews from Newcastle until the end of the season."
😆 😆 😆Open ControlsI need to bench one
A. Januzaj ARS HOME
B. Brady sot away
C. Rat nor awayOpen ControlsDepends what you are planning with the extra cash I guess....
Open ControlsReply fail
Open Controls
United should break the bank for Gundogan.
Open ControlsHi All,
I am seriously underinvested in midfield:
mignolet, lewis
baines, walker, fonte, williams, chester
hazard, lallana, barkley, morrison, jedinak
suarez, aguero, lukaku
0FT
3.2M
I've been using 4 at the back most weeks, but would like to move to a 3-4-3.
I have the following transfers in mind to start to correct the balance, but wanted to get your thoughts:
walker --> pieters
barkley --> silva
baines --> ridgewell
lallana --> walcott
That will give me the following team:
pieters, ridgewell, fonte, williams, chester
silva, hazard, walcott, morrison, jedinak
suarez, aguero, lukaku
I can then upgrade jedinak by borrowing some cash from mignolet e.g. mignolet --> vorm/boruc/something based on fixtures.
THOUGHTS?Open Controlssounds good. not sold on pieters or ridgewel
Open ControlsThanks Favel,
The defence is on the strength of rotation, rather than overall quality.
It probably does leave me a good player short at the back e.g. someone like baines/terry that you can field week in, week out and hope for a cleanie/some attacking points.
Do you think I would break even on those two transfers this week? I hadn't necessarily planned to play barkley anyway, but would mean benching pieters, rather than playing walker.Open Controlsna dont think so mate. swansea will score imo. play barkley instead of the hit
Open Controls
Why are you so keen to switch to 3-4-3? I think it's a valid tactic this year. Agree that you need more investment in midfield, but not at the expense of your defence.
Can you afford to just upgrade someone to Wally next week?Open Controls
Can't decide whether to downgrade Michu and leave me with no midfield big hitters, allowing Giroud > Suarez with my second FT
I have the feeling it's a bit short-sighted! I have Aguero and Studge, so does this make it a luxury transfter?
In other words, do we see Suarez doing to Fulham what Aguero did to Norwich?Open Controlshe just might but im not willing to double up on pool upfront. rather spread it arnd
Open ControlsWalcott's return coming up would mean a further use of FTs if I want to bring him in, and I really want him!
Open ControlsMichu doesn't look like he'll play this GW, so might as well transfer him out
Open ControlsOne think I'd be interested in is how Coutinho changes things at Liverpool. Will it mean 4 at the back? and if it does will they continue with 2 up front. 442 doesn't seem to be a possession based formation which Rodgers loves.
Open ControlsThis is something I wondered about, but I don't think it's reason enough to ignore Suarez this week.
Open Controls
deffo do it
I did Michu to Januzaj and giroud to suarez -4
feels so much more comfortable with him in my team!Open ControlsWell I would get Sess I think. Still concerned about how I would get Wally though
Open Controlsim not at all. firstly Im not sure he's striaght back in the side with them playing so well and secondly, im not sure hes a bettr option than ozil or ramsey even when fit
sess a good optionOpen ControlsYeah, maybe Wally can wait 2-3 weeks while we assess. Better to get on the badwagon a week late than a few weeks too early
Open ControlsTa. With the points Suarez and Aguero could get this weeked, I think it justifies having to use an extra transfer (maybe a hit) in a couple of weeks
Open Controls
Yes Suarez could well do. However, what might be a more pertinent question is: do we see Aguero doing to Sunderland what he did to Norwich? (which could have been higher points than it was).
I for one think the answer might be yes, and am seriously considering captaining Aguero over Suarez this weekend.Open ControlsYou may well be right, but either way, I want both in my team!
Open Controls
Can't wait to get Walcott back in my team after the IB... Ciao Paulinho, been nice knowing you!
Open ControlsHey Freddy are you concerned that Paulinho is at -135.8% to drop on TotalFPL and also set to drop on Fiso??
I am and am thinking of a hit to replace now instead of next week.Open ControlsAlready used my FTs to do Michu & Giroud > Hazard & Benteke. Really try to avoid hits since I'm doing so poorly. Plus, my plan is Mignolet > Davis after the IB to fund Paulinho > Walcott which will leave me with 0.2 as it stands for fluctuation. I should be safe. Who you shipping him for?
Open Controls
I am making 3 changes for next gameweek .
got 2ft so taking a hit to gwt Agueroooooooo ...
Mignolet
Zabaleta Coleman Fonte
Lallana Yaya Ramsey Oscar
Rooney Giroud Suarez
Yaya to Silva
Oscar to Brady
Giroud to Aguero .. -4
pls someone just tell me to do it already .. driving me mad man lol . thanks guysOpen ControlsAnyone know what's happening with Vidic's price? Looks like he's going down but didn't last night?
Open ControlsTotalFpl is screwing up ATM.
Open Controls
seems poor to me. i would not lose oscar and i would not get yaya for silva. very sideways for a hit
Open ControlsFor -4 my planned transfers this week are
RvP - Suarez
HBA - Hazard
Im having doubts because RvP could easily rip Arsenal to bits. Should I shouldnt I?Open ControlsNahm i;d keep RVP if i have him. And this us a Gooner speaking.
Open Controls*is
Open Controls
Suarez and Hazard seems more balanced, giving you an obvious captain pick this week... do you already own Sturridge, Rooney or Aguero?
Open ControlsLukaku and Aguero up top. I think i'll do it and end up supporting Arsenal on Sunday :/
Open ControlsI think Suarez will score similar points to RVP this season and appears to be a pretty safe captain pick most weeks, which was the main reason I had RVP from the outset. The extra money to upgrade HBA to Hazard/Oscar seals the deal for me.
Open Controls
Quick survey on the return of Walcott, for those who are interested.
How do you plan to bring him in? Would you replace your Silvas & Oscars for him, or would you triple up ARS midfield?
As for me, as Ozil & Ramsey owner, i don't mind tripling up, but i'd rather lose Ozil for hin & keep Oscar. Think it;s the best strategy?
How bout you?Open ControlsSelling Ozil for Walcott will free up funds.
Open Controlsthat's the positive point, but having both if ARS hit form can be deadly.
Open Controls
See below.
I was hoping for a 0.1m drop to 9.1m so I could straight swap for Michu.Open Controlsand triple up Ars? think FPL won't let it happen to keep us challengef. 😉
Open Controls
Nolan -> Walcott next week (if confirmed fit and plays some part vs United)
Funded by a Baines downgradeOpen Controls
2FT, any advice guys?
A) Michu --> Silva (1FT)
B) Michu + HBA --> Silva + Ramsey (2FT)
C) Michu + HBA + Ozil --> Gerrard + Hazard + Silva (-4 points)
A/B is the safe option, but C (although leaving me with no Arsenal cover) could well pay-back the 4 points (and more) over the next few weeks, cheersOpen ControlsWho, oh why, is Walcott and his possible inclusion into the ARS squad against MUN in the news?
I was really hoping he'd drop to 9.1m so I could straight swap him for Michu (for future use).
As it stands, I'll be doing Michu -> Cabaye + 3m and use 2FT's to bring Wally in later.Open Controls- New PostOpen Controls
Really? I've just gifted you a 'first' comment which is not only more than 1 word long but is also relevant to the article it's posted on - a truly rare commodity 🙂
Open Controls
Want to bring in Silva but will have to take a -4 hit. Will have to do it quick though to avoid price changes.
Lallana to JWP or Tiote. Are both nailed on? Tiote's upcoming fixtures are better.
Siggy to Silva
This will give me:
Mignolet
Baines, Terry, Dawson, Clyne
Silva, Ozil, Ramsey
Suarez (c), Aguero, Lukaku
Boruc, Barkley, JWP/Tiote, Burner
Opinions appreciated.Open ControlsSchurrle would be a good call if he could nail down a regular role 7.3
Open ControlsI used my WC last week because i wanted to bring in Suarez and Aguero and it worked. my team looked like this:
Boruc (guzan)
Terry, Clyne, Williams, (b.turner, g.johnson)
Ozil, Ramsey, Hazard, Townsend (brady)
Aguero(C), Suarez, Benteke
with 0.0m ITB
the only thing is that i completely overlooked the iminent return of Walcott, and the increasing influence of Rooney. So my plan is:
this GW: Guzan --> Harper , giving me 1,0m, free
next GW: Ozil and Benteke --> Walcott and Rooney, for a hit
this will only be possible if Rooney's price remains at 10,9 and Walcott at 9,2 or less. Do you think Rooney will go up in price in the next GW? And Walcott should be about to go to 9,1 no?
what do you guys think? really would appreciate your feedback!
