      No, I am trying to decide which are your defenders not called Reid to buy

      I lean towards Tomkins for the extra BP chance over Rat, but Collins lurks

            I realise Winston is the safest choice, and the biggest goal threat, but he's only 0.1 less than Kolarov. Is he worth 0.5 more than Tomkins?

    May look at playing Coleman

    Basically my main focus is 2 works leagues. A classic league and most importantly a £10 per week league where top GW score warrants a return of about £250.

    In short I'm happy to write this next GW off to get it right....

      Ivan to Mert... Over the season I see more points and £1m saved

        I wouldn't bet against Giroud scoring @ United. Easier said than done, but i'd look to downgrade a mid/def and stretch to Rooney/Suarez/Aguero.

    Essential??????????? There isn't such a thing. We have a squad of player with a limited budget and spread the costs as we see fit.

    When Bale was a 6m defender playing OOP 3 years ago, he was nearly essential. When Michu was 6.5m last season and scoring braces he was nearly essential. The closest thing right now is Ramsey because of his price, but really he isn't.

    Not of those big hitters are essential because you can make those points back using cheaper alternatives

      In the strictest sense of the word, as in you need to own this player to get a good score, I don't think it exists.

      In the sense of incredibly good value players that you'd be daft not to own because they free up funds to own heavy hitters, I think there have been a few. Evans, Siggy, and Ramsey earlier in the season when he was around 5.5 (unfortunately disbelief killed that one).
