Do you believe it's worth downgrading Mertesacker to Koscielny when I'm on WC in GW24?
Is it worth the difference in price?
I bought Merty at 5.6m and now he is at 6.5m (0.4 banked)Open Controls-
Only if yo need the money. If not then hold off.

Morning all, think I'm set on my WC:
Shezz, Boruc
Coleman, Terry, Koscielny, Clyne, Chester
Januzaj, Silva, Ramsey, Eriksen, Hazard
Agüero, Suárez, Sturridge
Any areas to improve?Open Controls-
Great team. I don't like how much you have tied up in both your GKs though. Possibly do Ches > Davis/Mannone and upgrade Chester/Januzaj?
Open Controls-
Hear you on the GK, but want Shezz for the next 3 cracking fixtures and then want Boric but know I'll have more pressing concerns then so won't have a transfer spare. Kinda getting ahead of the game. Boruc may start rising soon as well so future proofing my team.
Open Controls

Really nice team that I personally would go with Boruc Davies and upgrade Clyne to a City defender but if you don't want to be tied to having to play Boruc every week then keep as it is

So, you are not having any Arsenal frontman against Fulham at home? I reckon you have enough firepower up there, but for the sake of this particular gameweek....

What are we expecting from Everton against WBA at the weekend?
I have Distin, Mirallas and Lukaku and I'm thinking of bringing in Eriksen (great form backed up by good underlying stats but with average fixtures) or Giroud (great fixture this week) but I can't work out if either are worth doing this week and whether I should just ship Distin and go 4-3-3Open Controls-
Azpi (MUN, WHM) or Sagna (FUL, sot and would mean double Arsenal defence) would be my defenders of choice
WCing in GW24Open Controls-
It certainly won't be high scoring so not a great week to have 3 Everton players
Open Controls
-
-
0-1 Everton
Open Controls-
In which case selling Distin could prove to be a bad move...
Somehow I feel like whatever I do will be a bad move.
I'm favouring Lukaku > Giroud this week due to the Arsenal though fixture I think and my lack of Arsenal attackersOpen Controls
-
-
Get Eriksen. Thinking Mirralas would be a let down again..
Open Controls-
That was my original plan until Giroud hit form again before (FUL, sot)

Hey everyone! Hope you're all well... Thoughts on this WC draft? Best I could muster with a 108.7 TV
Mannone
Azpilicueta - Coleman - Gibbs
Cabaye - Hazard - Ozil - Silva
Adebayor - Aguero - Suarez
Pickford - Pozuelo - Chester - Ward
Bank = 0Open Controls -
Can anyone explain why Aguero's price isn't protected after his flag was removed?

When Ivanovic returns, will Apzil lose his place?
Open Controls-
Not necessarily, we've been doing well with 5 clean sheets in the last 6 games in all competitions. That's a major improvement. I don't think Mou would want to shift too much, though yes, I can't see Ivanovic being on the bench for long when fit. Maybe Cole and Azpi will be rotated.

What do you guys think of this wc team?

Morning all!
finally got a break and thought of playing around with my team and came up for the VERY first time with a WC like this.
Boruc-xx
Coleman-Sagna-Kolarov-Ward-Chester
Hazard-Ozil-Eriksen-Ki-Mutch
SAS
0.7itb
I've come up with this as I could play 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 with Ward, Chester, Ki, & Mutch as a rotation of some sorts..
So what you think?
Thoughts very much appreciated. 🙂Open Controls -
I've thought about playing 4-3-3 and experimented with it earlier in the season but now I have finalised my decisiondecision to play a back 3 based on one simple fact:
There aren't enough decent midfielders below 4.5 mil. There are plenty of decent value defenders in this bracket, as low as 3.9.
Having 3-4 outfield players at sub 4.5mil is an important aspect of the game IMO as it maximises your financial resources for a strong starting 11. When I played 4-3-3 earlier in the season I had a very expensive bench at times. I think my squad was performing very well, but not my team.Open Controls-
I have also been considering 433 with a cheap Sunderland and Cardiff midfielder as back up.

Who is using their WC as it's the only way that you can afford Aguero?
I think this group of people will regret it in 2 weeks timeOpen Controls -

Hazard, Silva, Yaya, Erikson, Ramsey
Augero, Suarez
Subs: K Davies, Chester, Gabbidon, Chamakh
Or
Team B - 3-4-3
Boruc
Coleman, Koscieleny, Kolarov
Hazard, Yaya, Erikson, Lallana,

Is it a good bet 0-3 goals in City-Blackburn?

If you had to play 1 of these for the rest of the season, who would you be more comfortable playing ( taking into account form + fixtures)
A) Szczesny
B) BorucOpen Controls-
Boruc assuming I get to spend the extra £££
Open Controls-
You do get to spend the extra cash. Check out my post a little above.
Would appreciate your thoughts on that.Open Controls-
I like B in principle except I'd have a different preference for the cheap defs. I like Chester & Whittaker
My backline:
Boruc McGregor
Coleman Terry Clyne Chester WhittakerOpen Controls-
Having a look at NOR's upcoming fixtures, are there that many decent ones from a defensive perspective?
HUL this week looks the only good one to me in the next 7.Open Controls-
I am playing one from 3. You're right over the next 7 it'll mostly be whitt third sub but I hope to keep him all season and worry about more expensive issues

Best fillers here?

Szczesny, Davis
xxx, Bardsley, Clyne, Ward, Chester
Hazard, Ozil, Silva, xxx, xxx
Aguero, Sturridge, SuarezOpen Controls-
A at a push.
With B you have two playing ARS mids. Is that the plan?Open Controls-
Yep, 2 ARS mids just for the next 3 weeks with B. Ozil/Ramsey would likely become Lallana/Eriksen after that.
Open Controls-
-
Ozil & Januzaj -> Ramsey & Lallana in a few weeks.
Or if Januzaj really ups his game (fpl points wise), maybe Ward & Ozil -> Baines & Ramsey/Lallana instead.Open Controls

Anyone going with Speroni in their WC? Which cheap GK to get with him?

Boruc
Baines, Mert, Kosc, A. Cole, Kolorov
Ozil, Hazard
Suarez (c), Aguero, Sturridge
Mannone, Ki, Januzaj, Mutch (he must be back soon)
Should I go with Ozil or Y. Toure/Silva

Another WC draft!

With Kolarov to Azpi perhaps in a couple of weeks' time if he (Azpi) keeps his place.
Good to go? Or should I keep Terry and replace Silva with e.g. Eriksen?Open Controls
