Oh wait

probably a Chelsea attacker

cant really give it to Ramsey this week 🙁

Caulker? 😯 .. cant see a CS so you relying on a goal.. and while he is a threat he aint gonna score 15 goals a season

Costa, probably. I'm not expecting him to get double figures though.

Not at all. Fancy him to do well.

Im going Haz as C

not at all, h v Leicester, better than away at sunderland or man city respectively

I'm thinking the same..but will end up with Rooney as cap

I'm seriously considering him. Its between Hazard and Costa for me

could be Newcastle-esque

Not at all, I thought Haz looked good yesterday and could easily have got a few more points.

I´d give Mata one more GW

Looks like a good move to me. You need to get in a chelsea mid and with Fabregas rising you can make some money too.
Chelsea looked fantastic and they are only going to improve as the season goes on.

I think Mata and Eriksen should both be given more time and they both have good fixtures this weekend. The problem you have is the same as me. Mata is 42% through a price drop because too many casuals are doing Mata>Sterling or Mata>Silva without looking at the upcoming Monday night fixture.

I'm still going to stick with him though, even when he drops....at least for a few more gameweeks....

Austin
Keep

Lam will start again. Was always going to struggle in his role playing with a man down. Spurs could batter them

Tadic looked really good, it's tempting, isn't it?

I agree here. My plan is to leave him until after week 3 then upgrade to a 6m player. Hend looks good with fixtures from there

Young is hard to own at the moment. I need to use my transfer this week to get Chambers out. Otherwise I might of been tempted to do:

Young>9M
Sturridge>8.5M

Got 0.5M ITB

I honestly think Sterling is much better value than Sturridge. And I own neither.

The problem with having all the value in one position is that it reduced your flexibility to transfer.

For example, since I have 2 10.5 up front and one 8.5 I could afford mata, even though he didnt do well I only need one FT to transfer to somebody like Fab.

I think three big hitters up front is easier when you have the TV to back it up

SwissWavey i just saw your long detailed reply last page! thank you!

I like your strategy. It's very unusual that 4 premium mids score 10+ points in the same week. It was the opposite last year so your idea wasn't a bad one. I would say that it's safer to have one or two premium priced mids, though, but the problem is which one(s) to pick as there are so many options. Because of that I'd stay as you are for now. Swapping Young out and upgrading will be at the expense of 4 points and, in all likelihood, a 2 pt striker - not sure this is the best strategy right now compared with a premium strike force.

Young is not a huge fail. He just isn't Siggurdsson.

If he hadn't played, THEN he would have been a huge fail.

I will be getting him back, unless MANCHESTER UNITED as a whole crashes and burns. Not wholly unlikely.

I'm a fixture man. I'd stick with Mata, not sure Cesc has more points potential if you look at the first 6-10 GWs.

I'm thinking about this too. Was hoping to make a decision later in the week but Cesc is looking like rising tomorrow

83 and you carried mata? Bitter...

Same position as me then 83 pts, and Mata instead of Fabs. Tough decision to make surely

Solid
Fabregas, Haz and Costa also lively. Yes. I already feel for Leicester.

They looked about the same at the back as last season, couple of slip ups but overall good.

Fabregas was a maestro in the midfield. I thought Schurrle had a good game and I'd wager he'll keep his spot, Costa worked hard, Hazard some glimpses but nothing major yet. Think he's still building up some fitness.

Thanks lads!

How do you need desperate help?

do nothing

So you've got funds to do Young to Sterling too. Not suggesting you do that right now, but worth bearing in mind once Liverpool's fixtures ease up a tad.

no

It's week two. Leave it. United are better away. And certainly don't take a hit!!!

neneneneeeeeejerking...

vanGaal abandoning his very idea? never. ever.

Young most certainly means having 3 Utd players which seems too much given their performance. Too many good alternatives.

Would you play him or Bojan next game? I have both. And they both did me hard.

Perhaps because man utd played rubbish against average opposition and Chelsea are at home to Leicester. Having Rooney, mata and young is too much.

There are better options and I never liked Young as an option. He has been poor for the last 2 seasons and that was not going to change all of a sudden

his attacking threat really was non existent in that 4-4-2 2nd half. i was a bit worried that with Rafael back he'd lose his spot(with Januzaj taking the other flank). Not to mention Rojo fighting for the CB/LB/LWB spot too

I think it'll be the same situation as last year, yeah.

Anyone changing hazard to fab is insane. Utterly insane. Changing any of his fellow 9m cronies after one game is mad but at least there is method to it. But a more attacking player who is nailed on to start in his own team? No. Don't be silly people.

Why not in FPL?

I'm starting both. 🙂 I would go Hutton though.

Having the same conundrum with Blackett or wisdom, my gut says Blackett

problem is kun is lurking

Mata --> Fab.
Just do it, you know you want to.

if you don't have siggy, get rid off him
if you do have siggy, save ft

Young to SIggy makes sense.
United are a shambles just now.
Only reason I still have Jones is he fluked a assistso am giving him 1 more gameweek

im giving him one more week (as above)

only problem is boselli 😉

not sure eriksen to sterling was necessary, but in the long term that should pay off

yes looks good

ehm

Not for -8....

Terrible

Wtf -8

Eriksen to Sterling? Seriously? With their fixtures?

Eriksen is probably the bargain of the season @8 for me 🙁 ..

Lol I've been preaching against these moves for the last 7 hours, don't be silly!!

FT still intact 😎

All sideways. Waste of points.

Knee-jerked hard there mate. Bad move.

Just save FT

Just one per week - in the reverse order to how you listed them. That's what I would've done

Mate Tbh am the same I wanna give him time.
But cesc bossed that game yesterday and a can guarentee he will run a Mock against Leicester.
Goal and a assist .

Fab captain for me ! 😉

If you have a FT you may as well do it for Chelsea at home against Leicester and gain the value for Fab going up and Mata most likely going down...

whatever United maybe Rooney will always get points...remember that...

Definitely one to watch. Although at the moment it looks like Rooney will get the lions share of Man Utd points.

I am

maybe I'll sell Costa for Kun.

none are essential at the moment..I would say..wait for another week

Wouldn't be getting rid of Terry.

Mata to fab depends on how much you care about your overall team value. You'll probably lose 0.3 maybe 0.4 by not getting fab this week, but could regret it if Mata does well. I have exactly the same decision to make and can't decide yet! Glad no price moves last night so I had another day to think on it.

Chelsea aren't going to score shed loads against everybody and I'd want to keep a Chelsea defender. Nice thing about Chelsea defs is the cs potential even in the tough fixtures.

You are a bit late. Does it have to be one of those? Mata, perhaps.
