    would u have silva or Man City defender? (kun+ yaya the other 2)

    if city get 4-5 clean sheets isnt a city defender a better choice than silva (unless he delivers each week)

          Entirely possible. Just wondering how you felt about it. If your gut tells you thats the way to go it might be a good idea. However, clean sheets are major uncertainties, so people tend to put their faith in the more expensive attackers and rely on cheap defenders. It's not just city defender vs SIlva. Gotta look at city defender + cheap mid vs silva + cheap defender.

    Idea for possible rule change for next season. Someone may have thought of this already, but.......

    Be allowed to sub in one player on your bench for one of your starters. However, the move will cost you your free transfer for the following gameweek.

    So, for example, this gw just gone I could've transferred in Ward for Coleman or Cahill and gotten his 12 points but at the forfeit of a free transfer this week.

    The loss of a free transfer makes it fair for everyone and means players will have to think before just subbing in a player from their bench especially if they need to make transfers the following gw as that will now cost them 4 pts.

      You only need to transfer someone with 4 more than the player you take out to come out even. Silly idea imo but would make having a full team played more important.

        I love ideas like this - even if there is a flaw in the logic - so wouldn't call it silly. But if you have a 6 pointer (say) on your bench it's a bit of a no brainer to sub them in for your inevitable 1 pter.

          It's silly when there's a big flaw. FTs are really worth 4 pts imo. You got the math straight away. I'd prefer the sub a player for a player who hasn't played & lose a FT & hope they cover the hit compared to having "known" points to play with. May as well make it automatic 12th man. Buried Ward as 3rd sub coming on would be a joke.

          I agree that he's not very explosive, but he's still a striker.

          Yaya is like the least explosive FPL player on the planet, maybe only beaten by Silva. I would not feel comfortable captaining either one of those.

      Gerrard, he is on brink of two game ban and Haazard will have to step up to plate in last few games plus Chelsea have great fixtures.

    Now that Benteke(c) is a no go...any Eriksen(c) or if fit Ade(c) this GW?

    Take out your balls and put them on the table.

    Let's have a look.

    Anyone watch Palace v Chelsea game last week? I heard Puncheon was excellent, thinking of getting him in for Nolan which will give me plenty of funds for the double next week

    Still struggling with what to do with two FT's this GW.
    Team atm:

    Mannone Adrian
    Azpi Coleman Ivanovic Chambers Olsson
    Yaya Silva Gerrard Hazard Colback
    Suarez Sturridge Lukaku

    2FT £0.1m itb

    Was planning on downgrading Gerrard to someone to allow for Aguero next DGW, but then to who. Or downgrade Adrian for more funds? So what do you think for this week
    1) Gerrard -> Eriksen
    2) Gerrard -> AJ
    3) Adrian -> Harper
    4) Olsson -> Dann
    5) other better ideas most welcome!
