      Will Oscar even start? He played in Brazil on Wednesday morning (1am - UK time) and I'm sure its like a 12hour flight back to UK. So... he could have got back sometime on Thursday morning?

    Down to these 3 options - whatcha reckon?

    A) Mirallas -> Walcott

    B) Toure -> Figueroa (or any other sub 4.5m defender). Will start them this week in place of Ward and will mean I have enough cash for Nasri & Mirallas -> Walcott & Michu/Cout over the next 2 weeks

    C) Save transfer

    Boruc
    Baines, Terry, Ward
    Nasri, Ramsey, Mirallas, Snodgrass
    Suarez, Aguero, Giroud

                I see we've got very similar teams. You've gone for Rooney up front and I've gone for a more expensive defense, otherwise same story.

                  Yeah very similar. I'm tempted by remy instead of Rooney.It would mean iI could upgrade Brady to Walcott and improve my defence....just wish there was some other man u coverage!

                    Well at least with Rooney you have a lot of money tied up in one player, so you'd only need one hit to free up some serious cash. I've spread it over the defense so it's harder to free up cash to get Walcott. I've thought of Hazard as a Wally placeholder though, but you never know, might want both.

      The team looks good. That frontline is causing you to sacrifice elsewhere and it would be nice to have another defender who you can play every week in a 4-3-3. How will you rotate your back four? Pick 1 of Clyne/Burner/Vlaar in a 3-4-3?

      Who knows what happens in LFC defense, in my book Toure + Agger is the best combination and Rodgers did say he rotated a bit at the back and praised Toure... I'm not too sure we won't see him back this weekend.

      Ward has a decent fixture this GW, how about play Toure with Ward coming in and save your FT. If Toure is definitely out of the setup, you can ditch next GW with one of the 2 FTs.

      Not mad at all. Yeah he's the highest scoring defender so far but so he should be for 7.7m

      Those fixtures plus the fact his attacking threat compared to this time last season is a lot worse then I don't think it's madness.

      Plus Coleman vs Baines on the Comparison Tool may surprise you.

      He isn't worth the extra cash over Coleman. He has periods where he gets attacking returns but they are (predictably) never sustained.

      Baines is a strange one. So many divided opinions.

      it looks like he is hot and cold because people focus on attacking returns but he is consistent.

      he will still be one of the top three scoring defenders at the end of the season.

        Ignore the fact that he is a defender, look at him as a 7.5(now 7.7m) player....even then, he will be probably me one of the highest 7.5m scorers across all the positions at that price.

                    He might be worth it - I'm not sure obviously, but as you know I was a Baines fan last season and although he's going well compared to the others at 7M and compared to the other defenders he is just not looking as tempting to me as he was last year.

                  Not so much his price, I think it's the same as last season?

                  A few things;

                  - Emergence of Coleman and more emphasis on the right side of Everton's attack.

                  - Baines no longer the top "BP magnet" in Everton's defence, last season it was pretty much all Baines when Everton kept a CS, even though he's already got half the BP's he got last season, they've kept more than half the CS so it makes sense. Jagielka/Distin both equal or above him in BPS score at the moment.

                  - For whatever reason his attacking stats are way down compared to last season. Less than half the chances created/game and last 6 games he's only created 3 chances, last season he created 120 in 38 games.

      i always aim to have 1.0m - 1.5m in reserve.

      if a player is injured then a replacement will usually cost more than your injured player and if a player becomes hot property, he will usually cost more too.

        Never ending cycle. That means when you do replace that player you'll no longer have the money in the bank.

        IMO just spend the cash you've got if there's a reason for buying the more expensive player, but don't do it for the sake of it. For example this week I could buy hazard but opting for sess as I think he's better value, more nailed on (especially in December) and has better fix. The money left over helps but it isn't the deciding factor.

    I'd be wary of captaining Aguero if Silva is not playing. The defeat at Sunderland was a prime illustration of how devoid of creativity they become without him. Nasri saw a lot of the ball and whilst his retention was good many times he was forced to just pass the ball back instead of attempting the penetrating passes which Aguero thrives upon. Navas was then bought on and most attacks came through him taking defenders to the byline and chipping crosses in. Spurs do have a high line but with Walker and Vert on the flanks City will need someone with an eye for a pass to unlock Aguero....that person being Silva.

      True to an extent, but Silva didn't play when they dismantled manu either.

      City are a completely different beast at home. They've won by at least 2 goals in every home game this season (except for the Bayern Munich game). When they beat Man United 4-1 Silva didn't pay. Aguero is my captain, nay doubt about it.

          Fair comments you two. Simply put, I'd trust City to do the business at home.

          Aguero is in top form, and there aren't exactly a plethora of options this week.

        Bayern Munich, the only time they've been tested against a tight defence. United were a shambles defensively a few weeks ago.

              If I had Rooney or rvp I'd captain.

              I'm torn between aguero and Suarez though. Who would you choose?

    Rooney (C)Tekkers Suárez

    Any suggestions for transfers using 1 FT? or shall I use my WC now or next gameweek?

    Cheers
