I agree, he's too expensive..............just transferred sturridge and young to jovetic and silva before the price rise.....still too early for aguero imo

After posting this to someone earlier, I want Sterling instead of Sturridge.

Sterling and Sturridge are basically playing in the same positions at times. Sturridge likes to drift out wide, and when he does, Sterling makes runs into the middle. The price difference between the two is big enough to go Sterling over Sturridge. The only problem is, is that Sturridge is arguably the better player, and if he finds some form over the next few weeks, then he might actually be the one to go for with Liverpool's good fixtures.

Although all this might change with Balotelli signing and all their other players regaining fitness.

Happy with my decision to go without him so far... he will come into consideration GW4 onwards for me...

If I were you, I'd be looking to get Kun...

Tough call. I have him and in hindsight he's a bit expensive and has upset my team balance a bit. However, after spurs he has 6 very favourable games so the reward could be there shortly.
I might hold a little longer but if I was using my wc is probs bring in costa instead for the cash. Hope that helps.

Not bad, not bad.

No city cover? that could be costly against stoke

Nice team.

Competition from Haidara

I'd wait on Kun personally, though it is by no means a bad move considering his scoring exploits off the bench so far

i would just do bego -> krul and keep 1FT

Just don't use one, I might do the same 😆

PVA > Naylor?

He scored 2 goals in his first 12 minutes of the season. He could get 5 in 30.

Agreed... Kun is no Jovetic.

Who's buying?

I have not seen anyone mention it. 😕

there is..

good team, though i would play dier over jones

raheem

In the same confusion...have both..Tottenham looks in good form..but Sterlings looks to be their central player...So I would say Sterling..

i would say sterling, spurs high line defense may be vulnerable to the pace of sterling and sturridge

Sterling, but I'm bias.

both will get 2p

Tie 😉

Lamela I think... although Sterling is the better option GW4 onwards, so that might affect your decision...

Sterling (I hope 🙂 )

I have sterling but Pool defense is so bad that I have to say Lamela

Neymar...

none

One of these days I'm going to get help for my procrastination problem...

I'd consider Caulker > Colo. Newcastle looking more solid than in years past and QPR looking like one of the worst teams to ever grace the PL. Plus it will add another 0.5 to your kitty

I think Caulker, Clyne, PvA are fine...I would change Kolarov to someone else..maybe Moreno..looked good yesterday and Liverpool have easy fixtures coming after the tottenham game..

As much as I think Newc DF is worth investing in, not sure I'd double up. Naylor over Colo perhaps?

Otherwise looking like decent transfers

Fazio is a CB.

Fazzio, Dier, Vert are CBs
Rose is LB and he's better than Davies

He is having safe Cesc.

JWP does not look secure in the mid term. was pretty horrible vs West Brom too. i'd look elsewhere.any cash in the bank?

Counted the number of posts wrong and got the 30th 😆

high chances of him starting next week

Probably will, assuming he is not injured. Man city needs him as a physical presence up front. Aguero is not 100% match fit yet. Even then, he thrives on space, which he is not going to get in the first half. Plus he has been doing well as a supersub.

Definitely. No point trying to pre-empt Pelle team selection. Seems Dzeko injury was just an impact injury, nothing to worry about.

I'll be watching the Stoke game closely and make a decision on whether to do Dzeko>Jov after that

I'd say the biggest 3rd striker to get just now would be Naismith? Therefore Zamora to Naismith to be following the crowd?

Haha, that looks dangerously close to my team. In fact, only Chester (Chambers), Jones (Lovren), Mata (Tadic), and Zamora (Naismith) are different.

Agree on Caulker, people seem to chase points though. Caulker has had the most shots on (and off) target by any defender so far, and if not for a line-clearance vs QPR and a last-minute missed sitter he could have scored 2-3 times already. That goal + CS that Chester got could easily have been Caulkers. People will buy him again as soon as he scores a goal, especially if he goes to under 5.0. I'm gonna hold onto him anyways.

Begovic could easily have had 2 CS's as well and has great fixtures coming up. Stoke had the 4th best home defense last season too so I wouldn't advise trading him. I'm rotating him and Krul which works great.

I'd get rid of Zamora, but not sure if there's any value at lower than 6.0 apart from Naismith. Bojan might be a good pickup closer to 5.0 if he continues to drop, especially since he'll soon play LEI and QPR in GW4 and GW5.

I've been wrestling for the past two days about who to trade Davis for since I had 3.0 itb and he is going to drop, but finally pulled the trigger on Tadic. It was a tough choice between him and Lamela or Eriksen, but fixtures look better for him in the next 6-8 rounds.

I like D...Sturridge in the 2 matches played hasn't looked that great and with Balo coming in..his prospect weakens....Sterling on the other hand looks like their most attractive player..

D) looks pretty nice, and is what I'd do in your boat for sure

I like D, gives you pool coverage for their good fixtures plus City

option D imo! Im confused between Adebayor or Jovetic myself to repalce giroud. but both good options for sturridge seeing u get sterling in return. U guarantee coverage plus dont lose out on points. Sterling will score more points than sturridge i believe this season and plus now they have ballotelli, who will eb used more in PL and sturridge more in CL.

Hello there Valar!
A C Or D imo even tho I dont like Jove nor Ade long term
I saw your S vs S post over there, and I prefer sterling but he has no place in my midfield
I have 2 FTs, but I'm thinkin twice before using both before the IB in a week
I could do Aguero C & De Jong/Tadic for Sturr & Lamela
I might even do jove C for Sturridge but then Bring back Sturridge for his nice run

D

Thanks all.. looks like D) wins by a landslide. tbh my favorite option was B)/D) and expected the aguero love to lead me towards E) 🙂 .. think i'll stick with D) then and try and get my team back on track. Gonna have to decide between Jovetic and Adebayor with a seperate poll 🙂 ..

D

I'm opting for D as well Valar, see below

Haha, I feel your pain. I too had Davis from the start and he's done faff all so far and looks ready to drop.

Thankfully I had 3.0 itb and I was willing to take a hit without a FT (i already did Bojan>Naismith this GW). My options were a direct swap for Tadic, Eriksen, Lamela, Henderson, or Cabella.

After a lot of deliberation I chose Tadic for the following reasons:
- virtually guaranteed to start
- no European football distraction (unlike the Spurs duo)
- Great fixtures, compared to Spurs (3 top 4's in next 6 games)
- He was the 2nd highest rated player in Holland last season, and already has an assist this year.
- Spurs looked poor against West Ham, and I think reading too much in to Lamela's performance against a shit QPR team is a mistake.
- Tadic is a real "differential", and has two forwards who can finish around him in Pelle and Long.
- Cabella has poor strikers infront of him, and hasn't clicked yet. More style than substance.
- Getting Tadic leaves me with 0.5 itb which provides flexibility next week if I need to make a change.

Not many pressing issues. Keep an eye on the Dzeko injury I'd say

Dzeko - Jovetic to knee jerky ?

Atleast Jovetic cant hurt you too much with a price tag of 7.9. Aguero will make me cry if i go for him for 12 million and he blanks/gets injured soon again 🙂

It's always hard to predict, so annoying 🙁

yup! great point...In city's side anyone can score and anyone might get an assist..

Yeah, but they scored 102 goals last season. Plenty of goals to go around. And on the rare occasion that Aguero's healthy, you have to fancy him to score more than anyone.

Nasri had 0 shots. Silva is more of a creator. Dzeko/Jovetic/Aguero, highly likely that only 2 will be on the pitch at the same time. Sure they'll share goals, but with a side that scores so many, it hardly matters if the goals are shared.

🙁

sit tight
