Aguero tweets, "I felt some pain in my right hamstring and left just as a precaution. My studies will tell me the degree of the injury.
It’s a pity about the injury but it’s easier knowing that we are on top. I hope I get back out on the field soon to keep helping the team."

Right then. Enough faffing about. Time to get serious about FPL and get a kickass Wildcard team in the picture.
Been playing too casually (Haven't captained Suarez since 4 weeks) and that has cost me 25 points on the ML leader in the recent past. Managed a 68 this GW with Bony captain.
So what i'm looking for is primarily a discussion on a few key issues. A conversation is what i would prefer. I haven't been watching a lot of football and some nice inputs would be very helpful.
The few issues and theories i am looking at and i'm sure quite a lot of you are looking to discuss/tackle are:
A) The Coleman conundrum
Most of us bought him really early and once we sell him now, we're pretty much saying bye-bye to him long-termish. What to do? Are those tasty home fixtures enough when you can get an Evans at 5.0?
B) Mirallas/Barkley/Everton
Is their form on a dip or was that just a blip? Barkley makes a good investment doesn't he or do we spend a little more and go for Mirallas in case he plays up top?
C) Double Che?
So i was looking at how to set up defensively and a Double Che defence is just very very attractive for me considering how JoMo is setting his team up. I have Terry at a sell value of 6.3. Do i sell him and get in the cheaper Azpi/Iva or keep him for safety and also thoughts on Cech as my only keeper?
D) Utd/City/Ars attack
How much to invest in the attacks of these three teams? Who make the top 4-5 players to have from these teams in your opinion?
E) Suarez and Sturridge?
Yay/Nay? Would i rather have coverage from more teams?
I prefer an opinion with reasoning compared to straight forward answers. Want to discuss a lot more things as well.
F) Cheap rotation
If i'm looking at a cheap 2/3 way rotation, what is the one doing the rounds?Open ControlsI'll start on the United attack issue. One reason that makes Mata very attractive for me is i reckong he will get 95% playing time. We could see some and i mean minimal rotation in PL because 4th spot is going to be Moyes' NUMBER 1 priority without a doubt so the big dogs will be playing as many games as possible.
But Mata not being CL tied will pretty much start every PL game there is. 100% Nailed on.Open ControlsI bought him because of this and that he will be super motivated to prove himself after rotting away on the bench all season at chelsea. Kind of like with new transfers into the league, they will a lot of times have an initial spurt of good production. It will be interesting if and how it all works out with RVP and Rooney coming back
Open Controls
If you want to get serious.....
You will pick 3 Utd players that you plan to bench gw28
Olsson must be one of your cheap defenders cos he has a good game in 28 and 29
I'd look at a Adrian Ruddy GK combo so you have a playing keeper 29
Maybe even Snoddy as a rotating 4th midOpen ControlsI am beginning to think 3 maybe too much. Going in with Evans and one of RVP/Mata/Roo could be the right thing to do now. Olsson from Norwich right? I will definitely keep that in mind.
I'm just not a big fan of cheap rotating keepers. Like the idea of Cech or Boruc full time and a non playing 2nd goalkeeper.
Thoughts on 2 Che at the back?Open ControlsI'd be trying to get as many players available for 29 where the gap can be hugely made up
WBA MUN
Nor STO
Only games certain to be on, how many would have 6 players from these?
If you believe City will beat Chelsea in the cup, I'd load on Chelsea because CHE TOT will also fall into that week
Most other games look likely to be offOpen ControlsWill one week make that much of a difference though Tommy? Don't want my long term thinking to change because of this one week.
Open ControlsRight. So hence the Adrian/Ruddy rotation.
And Olsson as an option. Maybe my two cheapie defenders can be from these two teams. How good are Nor defensively nowadays? Also, thoughts on the bigger issues?
Coleman? Dual Che?Open Controls
I WC'd last week, got Terry and Cahill. 15 points. Very happy. They seems to good to pass up, and are good value for their points.
I have Mannone and Boruc, cost me 8.9 I think. Looks good. Less risk. Less risk is good.
Agree with Mata, I have him too.
No Ars attack now, maybe later. Went for value and not premium, aside from Suarez and Kun. Well, and Mata. I'd be careful of a lot of investment,especially with week 28 coming up.Open ControlsThis is helpful. Thanks DM.
Open Controls
I'll be home in 20-30mins. We can have a nice convo when I get back 🙂
Open ControlsRight. I'll need to travel for a bit as well but should be around sharpish.
Open Controls
A) Coleman: I'm keeping for now and waiting until the last moment possible for news. If he is out I may just sell for a Chelsea defender. But it is a tough one as I think it was a blip for Everton due mainly to injuries. If I bought at 5 - 5.5ish I'd hold another GW.
B) Barkley I am steering clear of as he still has that injured toe. Needed an injection to play and I cannot see that being good long term. Mirallas is a decent punt but better than Eriksen/Lallana??
C) Double Che defence is a good tactic imo. If I had Terry at the price you do I'd definitely hold and also get Azpi. Cech is the other option but his expense will harm the rest of your team.
D) City, Utd then Ars is the order of preference for me regards attack. These are the teams with goals in them each week but be careful of overload with the GW28 blank. Plan for now until GW26 I suppose then look to ship 1 or 2 out and bench the rest in 28/29.
Ars seem to stutter their way to goals and share them around a lot. Cazorla seems a good punt but Ozil doesn't seem like good value compared to Yaya/Hazard. Gru is wasteful of his chances though it is more that guys like Dzeko/Negredo/Rooney are better value for returns.
My preference in order would be RVP-Yaya-Mata-Cazorla-Dzeko-Silva-Negredo
E) Nay, not because of eggs and baskets so much, I just think others provide as good value for money (J.Rod-Ade) whilst allowing a better team balance.
F) I'm going with three cheapies because I'm getting RVP. Who your keeper/s are depends on who you include in this rotation. As I have Adrian/Mannone I want a cheap Sot/Car/Hul defender. I am unsure of the actual best rotations but they are the teams who I think will do well defensively over the next 6-10 GW's.
Hope this helps.Open ControlsI wish i could give you ten upvotes. This has helped bloody massively. Right so you and Tina have made me reconisder Coleman. Barkley is very cheap to give him a shot i reckon. Opinion taken on the Cech matter.
Also, haven't bought Yaya till date. Too late innit?
Also i disagree on the Studge matter because he just looks in unbelievable form.
Thank you so much.Open ControlsOh, I held Coleman and will keep him unless he goes out a very long time. Had him week 0, great value. One reason to have 2 Che def, with them I can handle Coleman hurt.
Open ControlsTo be honest Barkley is a good prospect but just don't be surprised to see him sit out a game here or there with injury. Puncheon's fixtures look poor btw.
Not too late on Yaya at all. He is getting returns each week whether luckily or not. If it was Ozil getting those points everyone in FPL would own him.
Also he is on Pens with Kun out.
Studge is in great form and well rested.
Am still deciding if I do Studge + Lallana or Ade + Yaya.Open Controls
Any chance after the Chelsea game we'll find out who the most nailed on City striker is now that Aguero is out?
Open ControlsWC team draft #217.08
Adrián
Coleman, Koscielny, Burner
Mata, Yaya, Johnson, Hazard
RVP(c), Adebayor, Suárez
(Mannone, Noone, Yoshida, Ward)
Possible changes:
Coleman (if unfit) > Azpi
Burner > Chambers (if he is more nailed on)?
Yaya + Ade > Lallana + Studge
Thoughts or discussion much appreciated. 🙂Open ControlsNot Burner for sure.
I'm not thinking yet. Making a few decisions for now.Open Controls
Chambers seem to be preferred atm. Burner i am not sure.
If you are on WC get a Chelsea defender (Azpi would do), but dont know whether you should hang on to Coleman or not.
I prefer sturridge over Ade but Yaya vs Lallana is close atm.Yaya is more preferred.
Good team. 😀Open ControlsThanks BL!
Am not feeling anyone's love for Burner so I may ship (though Hudson is now crocked).
I'd love Azpi but it is prohibitive with an RVP team. I'd have to lose Coleman or downgrade a mid. Or lose Kosc?!
I too prefer Studge to Ade so will keep thinking on it.Open Controls

So O'brien dislocated his shoulder. Did it happen at the end of the game(he played 90min per FPL)
Open ControlsAah, thanks.
Just when Wham fixtures turn.Open ControlsFor the good?
Open ControlsJip.
Reid should be back. (4.7m)
Big Sam will turn this around. He started last night.
SWANS/villa/NOR/SOUTH/eve*/HULL the next 6
*=they are screwed without LukakuOpen ControlsPerfect. Its information like this that i need.
Look upstairs. Opinions on the issues?Open ControlsColeman-wait for news I guess. He is the only EVE player I'm interested in. I'm giving him as long as possible to recover.
Westham-get a defender(Reid)
Terry - keep him I would suggestOpen ControlsWill wait until tomm. He's worth the upside you reckon?
I can't afford to keep both Coleman and Terry i think. Double up on the Che defence?Open Controls
and Adrian has nailed himself on
Open ControlsI'm liking Collins value at 4.1, and his 1 bonus
Open Controls
Is this a bad idea?
I'm thinking of going with a 352 now that Aguero is out with:
Sczcesny
Shaw Kolarov Olsson | Gabbidon McNaughton
Silva Hazard Lallana Toure Eriksen
Sturridge Suarez | Berahino
-8 deduction. 3.2M in the bank that I can use next week to upgrade Sturridge, Lallana or Eriksen to perhaps Rooney or Mata.
Man City have 3 home games in their next 4.Open ControlsToo many strikers are scoring too much to go 3-5-2.
It is the position with the most upside. BAD IDEA.Open Controls
Chambers seem to be preferred atm. Burner i am not sure.
If you are on WC get a Chelsea defender (Azpi would do), but dont know whether you should hang on to Coleman or not.
I prefer sturridge over Ade but Yaya vs Lallana is close atm.Yaya is more preferred.
Good team. 😀Open ControlsSorry for reposting time and time again,but need some replies
Who is the most nailed City forward until Kun is out? Will the Chelsea game give an indication?Open ControlsI'd say Negredo but close betweek Jecko and Neg.
Open Controls
Hello DZers. If Kun is out I think RvP is in. Got a few spaces to fill here
Mannone, Adrian
Azpi, Evans, ______, ______, ______
Hazard, Yaya, Puncheon, Noone, ______
RvP, Suarez, Sturridge
a) Demel, Chambers, Marriappa, Mata/Silva/Caz (which one)
b) Kos, Ward, Shaw, LallanaOpen Controls
So it looks like Chambers is preferred to Clyne. Wait until Wanyama's back to consider, or wait until Wanyama and Lovren are both back?
Open Controlswanyama is a defensive midfielder
Open ControlsWhat's not clear? When is a good time to get a Southampton defender?
Open ControlsI'm only considering Chambers, if that's the confusion. But I'm not going to get a Southampton defender when their two big defensive signings from the summer-- they guys that turned Southampton from one of the worst defenses in the league to one of the better defenses-- are both out.
Open Controls
1 i think.
Open Controls
2
Open Controls
1
Open Controls
why 1? i have baines and its tough to hold 7.4 on expecting a pen...free kick was taken by others in last gw.
Open ControlsHis returns may be a bit spotty, but he's getting about the same attacking returns as last season, when he performed very well despite a much worse Everton defense. Lots of people are talking about the demise of the Everton defense, but I think the relatively poor performance recently has been due to injuries across the back line.
Open Controls
Do we think Shaw is likely to stay at SOT till the end of the season?
Holding on to Clyne in the hope he pinches his spot.....Open ControlsIf Shaw is staying at SOT, he is a guaranteed starter.
Open Controls
Yoshida? should be bailed on till Lovren is back
Open Controls*nailed....oops
Open Controls
I would guess yes, but I'm not confident enough that I would get him. I would probably get a defender from another team.
Open ControlsFor those on a WC...
