A number of midfielders are amongst this evening’s members piece, as we take a look the in-form options at Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham and Tottenham. We also cast an eye over Diego Costa’s recent form, assess Sergio Aguero’s displays compared to recent campaigns and take time to assess QPR’s in-form frontman after another impressive showing in yesterday’s narrow defeat at the Bridge.
My choice this week is either
A, Eriksen > Downing
B, Eriksen + Sterling > Sanchez + Downing -4
C, save FT and maybe go for Walcott after next week?
Too early for Walcott. B makes a lot of sense and I've made a similar trade already.
B
Best midfielders under 8.1 m?
Siggy, Downing, Chadders possibly
How much is nasri could be good son
Swansea:
Arsenal at home next GW isn't that bad fixture for Siggy
City away after that is tough, but after that it's both palace and qpr at home before WHU away.
Pretty good fixtures apart from the city game. So definately keeping Siggy.Season keeper. Allows for more pricier mids - a fact lost on many.
damn straight
Good week for you champ. Amazing what 3 weeks with the right player can do.
indeed. Cheers mate 😀
Indeed. Considered downgrading to Downing to free up 0.6m but it's really not worth it
I do agree, but he's also been a bit quieter recently too, no?
from 17k to 7k 😀
the best way to start a monday 😀
47k to 8k. Will be a drop tonight though.
I have 2 FTs and also have a wildcard. Any advice on what to do with this lot?
Begovic
Bertrand Rose Baines ( Duff Hutton )
Fabregas Siggy Chadli Sterling ( Marney )
Aguero Costa Pelle
As previously mentioned I could do Sterling & Costa -> Sanchez/Di Maria & 6.0m striker for free which leaves enough to do Pelle -> Costa after the break. 0.1m itblol no keep Costa. get rid of Rose if anything.
I chose him over Chambers last week. It has only cost me 22 points 🙁
Sterling->Downing
Chad->SanchezNo way I can afford that unfortunately..
Sterling > Downing for a FT?
should start free up some money in case Costa starts running again
That's what the kool kids are doing on here
kool kids that already have Sanchez tho.
I thought those still have costa?
So that's a yay I guess.That would be everyone then
I really want to do Siggy > Downing for FT, but seems a risk.
Yep, good move
Krul (Elliott)
Baines Bertrand Chambers (Wisdom Duff)
Sterling ADM Hazard Siggy (SDavis)
Pelle Welbeck Aguero
2ft. 0.1m itb.
A)Sterling/SDavis/Welbeck>Sanchez/Boyd/Sakho(if he's back, Austin if he isn't)
B)Sterling/Welbeck>Sanchez/AyozeNeeds Costa, Downing and Sanchez - not sure how you fit them in.
A looks good to me.
Early trade for Triggerhips.
😕What's Trigtits up to?
No idea.
He will probably wait for the player he bought to rise, the player he sold to drop and then tell everyone on his blop how confused he is. Only to let us in on his secret one the GW starts.Hmmmm...I wonder if she is even a kiwi.
He downgraded Sterling... No Sanchez 😯
Downing?
He is waiting for Walcott I guess.Maybe Tadic, since he sold Pelle this week.
Yeah I think he got Tadic, which I'm REALLY surprised about.
Place holder for Walcott me thinks.
Oh dear. That's not good. Are you sure? 🙁
Yes.
Currently 164th with 639 points
DeGea- McCartney
Clyne - Chambers - Baines - Yun - Moore
Sanchez - Di Maria - Siggy - Fab - Boyd
Pelle - Costa - Welbs
accommodating Aguero ..........................
over next couple of Game WKs thinking about trying to get from
DeGea + ADM + Welbs ------> Krul + Downing + Aguero
thoughts?
Seems ok.

No dont lose ADM, you are having the common dilemma associated with having Sanchez etc. You can't have Sanchez,Kun,Costa,Sanchez and Baines without ruining your team..... There's no way I'd have a mid of Sanchez,Siggy,Downing,Fab to get Aguero in...Yep-go the ADM/Welbeck route
Don't like it.
You should be giving the advice with that rank
All because Mannone was being dropped and me not wanting to take a hit, stopped me from making my Duff to Chambers move, 24hrs later, I'm nursing a drop of 10k and everyone in my mini league catching up, annoying weekend!
Chambers haul hurt me too so unlikely and never t be repeated

thoughts on ADM ?????????
Keep, he's blanked against City and Chelsea but what do people expect. He still created so many chances and now has some good fixtures.
No Europe but plays for a team supported by glory hunters.
...who may not reside in the vicinity of Manchester.
What midfield downgrades are people doing to accommodate Aguero + Costa ?
The new template
Baines
ADM, Hazard/Fab, Downing, Sanchez
Costa, Pelle, Aguero
and little elseI only have Fab from that midfield.
Uh-Oh
ADM or Sanchez over the next 5?
ADM, Wally coming back means Arsenal will be shaken up.
Both, imo.
If you already have only one of them, I think it's a case of keep the one you've got - I don't think there will be much in it.
Krul, Foster or Guzan till January?
Foster I think. None of them are reliable for clean sheets though
From fixture,
Krul already played MCI SOU TOT LIV
Foster already played SOU EVE TOT LIV MUN
Guzan already played LIV ARS CHE MCI EVE TOT
Based on fixture, Guzan > Foster > Guzan
Based on form, Foster > Krul > GuzanErrr... *Based on fixture, Guzan > Foster > *Krul*
Cheers
I've had foster and Krul the whole season, from memory I've only benched one cleanie when the other didn't. It's worked quite well and I think I've had 4
Clean sheets so far.
Finally got rid of Sterling (brought Chadli in). Heh.
Foster
Clyne-Baines-Ivanovic
Di Maria-Fabregas-Downing-Chadli
Aguero-Pelle-Berahino
Subs: Schmeichel - Sigurdsson - Duff, Van Aanholt.
2.1m ITB to probably do something with Pelle and Clyne later in the game.
Transfers well planned? Have your say 🙄
How to fill in 4th and 5th mids and 3rd striker spots....
A. Fabregas, Boyd, Kane/Sakho/Berahino
B. Chadli, Siggy, Austin...
Others are DiMaria, Sanchez, Downing and Costa, Aguero.
Thanks!B imo
B would enable rotation and all of those probably excellent value for money...but limits transfer flexibility...money tied to many players.. On other hand just so hard to ignore Fab, he's a seasonkeeper...excellent player.
Well, sure he is, but you have Costa so you should do just fine.
A. Fab, Boyd, Sakho
Hello
Ok how do i fit adm into this team ? 0.4itb
Krul,
Baines, Chambers, Wisdom
Downing, Hazard, Sanchez, Siggy
Costa, Aguero, Austin
Elliott, Marney, Moore, BruceHazard to Maria
Not worth doing
Mannone,
Baines, Clyne, Wisdom,
Sigurdsson, Fabregas, Di Maria, Downing,
Costa, Aguero, Pelle.
Subs: Krul, Boyd, Chambers, N Taylor.
1 FT, £0.6m ITB.
What transfer(s) would you suggest?Save it.
Cheers. No point taking another hit this week to get Sanchez in and chase last week's points, right? Would be for Fabregas as well.
Exactly man 🙂
Morning all,
So after a bad game week, I've decided I want this team for next week and beyond:
Forster
Clyne Baines Chambers
Sanchez Fab ADM Downing
Pelle Aguero Sakho
Downside is I'd need to take some hits...well a few hits!
Worth it? Makes the game more fun anyway and sets
Up for the long run until the jam wc.The new template until saints fixtures go down the toilet
Is it madness to lose Pelle this week to do Sterling & Pelle -> Sanchez & Sakho (other 6.0m striker). No hit.
Other strikers are Costa and AgueroYes it is.
Pelle is I n great form lei at home keep
There must be another way. Im prob selling Tadic and keeping Pelle.
I was weighing up Sterling & Costa -> Sanchez & Sakho leaving enough funds to do Pelle -> Costa after the break?
Try another way....who is in midf?
Cesc Sterling Chadli Siggy
Wildcard an option or over the top? My side is
Begovic
Bertrand Rose Baines ( Duff Hutton )
Fabregas Siggy Chadli Sterling ( Marney )
Aguero Costa PelleSiggy/Sterling->?
or not enough funds?Siggy would have to become a 4.4m mid (not Boyd as I have 3 Burnley)
It is either a striker or just forget about Sanchez/Di Maria
yes. He is my captain
Good call. Very worried about not owning him this week. Tempted to do Siggy –> Mane for a hit
Why am I scared of Downing? I just can't seem to forget how he burned me in his Middles borough days!
i am still not convinced. Gonna go for sakho and adm with freebies
Hmm...Sakho was my choice as Pele replacement as well, but now Im not thinking straight.
for welbz me. Pelle going nowhere
Yeah, just looking at ticker.
I guess I might have to ride the storm with Siggurdson.
hmmm think i'd hold if i were you mate. Thought you got mane last week?
What did you use ft on?Na, wasn't confident he'd start in the end (was right) so just did the insanely boring Marney –> Boyd 😆
gotta get that housekeeping done sonetimes
Keep Pele for Leicester this weekend, he is gona bang them in for sure
Currently 164th with 639 points
DeGea- McCartney
Clyne - Chambers - Baines - Yun - Moore
Sanchez - Di Maria - Siggy - Fab - Boyd
Pelle - Costa - Welbs
0.5m in bank
peoples thoughts for this week?
havent done a -4 all season but wondering about DeGea+Boyd ----> Krul + Downing which leaves 0m in bank but gives me the option of Siggy + Downing as 4th + 5th mid
I wouldn't dare give you advice!
just Siggy --> Downing should be fine IMO
I don't think that justifies your first hit. Having a heavy 5th Mf is more of a curse than a blessing
No Aguero would be my only concern. Solid team obviously with that rank
Sterling for Barkley or Oscar? Advice plzz..
Downing also looks an option.
Out of those two? Oscar.
No other option?
Hmmm anyone I can do a straight switch for. I can sell Sterling and have 8.7 to get someone.
Another option is to bench this week and then hope he gets returns when his fixtures ease a bit?Maybe downgrade somewhere else too and upgrade Sterling to Sanchez/Adm
I have ADM. Sanchez requires a -8 hit :/
What if you get Downing? Will the funds help somewhere else?
I can do Sterling + Siggy + Chambers >> Downing + Hazard + Dummet for -8. Don't know though...
It's either -8 or stick with Sterling I think. Then after international break I will have 2 FT.
on 26th December we have 1 GW and on 28th we have another...they could've just given us one big DGW as a Christmas Present
Post Fail
Does anyone think Fellini or Hart will receive retrospective sanctions for
Fellaini: An alleged spit towards Aguero
Hart: A head charge towards referee Michael Oliver
Just curious to hear people's thoughts. Personally I think Hart could be in big trouble!
I dont think anything will come from either
Guzan
Baines / Clyne / Rose
Sterling / Fab / Sanchez /. Eriksen
Aguero / Pelle / Berahino
(McCarthy / Boyd / Wisdom / Saylor)
2 FT & 0.9m itb...which move should I go for ?
A) Sterling & Rose -> ADM & Duff
B) Sterling & Eriksen -> ADM & DowningB.
Who plays midweek games this week? Want to transfer now but injury concerns me
Thanks 🙂
Doos, you still around?
Yes.
Hey, all well?
Feet up?Feet up and head down.
Ranked 48K with 557 points.
Despite being 16pts above average I've dropped overall (ok only by 200 places)..., those who are bringing that average of 43 points up are smashing it in the top 50K....(obviously I do get how an average works)
Life in the top 50K is tough hey! Only 29 points off top 10K but it feels like a lot to make up in one week. I guess a captain explosion and other players blanking would do it.
Best rank this season is 25K
I want more!!!Similar enough to you highest rank mid 20k and now back to 43k. Took an -8 hit 2 weeks ago put me back in my box
Why are so many taking Costa out for the int break and planning to bring him back in just after the break?
To accommodate Sanchez
Most took him out 2 weeks ago, I'm planning to bring him back in soon. Chelsea's fixtures are too good to resist
