Got RVP in for GW 16 and held since, he's solid but frustrating to own.

Spot on! Solid side!

Pretty much the exact same team I drafted up therefore I like it.

I'll have 3 Chelsea, Kane and no Pool.

as long as they keep scoring lots of goals and their defences are up to it, why not! Just means more rotation danger but Jose has shown that IMHO premier league is his absolute priority. Might get tough for them if they reach the latter stages of the CL

Tried to get this going a couple pages back. With various cup commitments making 2 matches a week the norm (especially for Chelsea, Spurs and Pool who are still in the C1C). Does it make sense to heavily invest in their players?"

You have to admire his persistence with this theme. Great use of acronyms and showing exquisite knowledge of the finer points of FF, here TT03 turns what could be a fairly workmanlike query into a true existential challenge. What he is really asking it seems, is simply "DOES IT MAKE SENSE"
STRONG, FOUR STARS.

It's the same every year but the top players from the top clubs continue to score well. The skill is to understand how each manager uses his squad.
For example
Wenger barely rotates and flogs his best players until broken
Mourinho rotates some but very rarely the untouchables
Pelle is hard to read making investing in city risky
Spurs mostly use a b team in Europe

Where can we read it?

very useful. didn't know the subbed on player comes in on the left. always thought it was some random allocation and always fluked getting my players in the positions i want them to be in!

Who is your other GK?

My wildcard team is v similar, except swap rooney for costa and adm for fabregas and then 1/2 different defenders

If no Kane, Chadli

Chadli

Chadli.

would you all Chadli over Eriksen as well?

[Or even Fabregas?]

Short-term Chadli
Throughout the second half, I think Siggy will outscore the later with relative ease imo

Cheers lads. I dont have Kane or any other Totty Players. My Current Midfield is Fab Haz Silva Siggy Boyd.

Giroud

a Burnley Striker if you don't have Boydinho.

Hey Stupendous, what's the latest on Aguero? His tweet doesn't make it sound like he'll be on the bench for the Everton game (as you bodly predicted!).

Berahino?

Gomis

I think he'll start myself, can see in a 4-2-2-2.

Only a fool of a took would imo.

Hazard looks like scoring each game right now.

Costa is due but until Hazard loses form he's my Chelsea captain choice.

I have 3 cards and 2 of them are black and the other one is red. Black has come in 3 times in a row so surely red is due. Should I bet on red or black?

Probably Kane.

Kane should barring injury.

Kane since I think he's better and better valued, plus my midfield is stacked.

Kane

Good to hear. My WC accomodates him instead of Chadli. Hopefully he keeps starting.

Yep

B

Tough call, but B. Fabregas should be considered untouchable this week, imo.

B or C

Ok, thank you all, I´m more inclined to Siggy, I will think better. 🙂

Generally the payback time to short for a -8. Obviously it can still come off but odds are against it.

I'll do anything I can to avoid a hit now as have2fts banked

If your making 4 transfers id be playing WC.. I've used my FT but considering a hit of -4

Cheers, guys. Does seem too short term to take a big hit.

for few gws yes

Downing to Fab, maybe

Downing upgrade to Sterling and maybe Azpi to Terry.

Hutton O'Shea

For this week, maybe Berahino or Ings.

For more weeks, maybe Austin.

Austin.

I reckon you could put Steve Smith in the now xi

For the 90s:

Murali for Ambrose - play two spinners.

Gilchrist over Boucher, and Kallis over Chanderpaul, surely?

Could argue for Sangakarra or Ponting over S. Waugh on batting ability.

Dravid deserves a spot

Would also open with Dravid over Jayasuria, not a vintage 20 years for openers compared to middle order and Dravid's technique is the best I've ever seen.

Wasim Akram has to be there too, genius he was.

Hayden, Dravid, Ponting, Lara, Tendulkar, Kallis, Gilchrist, Warne, Akram, McGrath, Murali

Eriksen or Kane

At your peril......

Eriksen.

Tough. Maybe Kane.

Cheers all. Perhaps I will choose Eriksen, which is not what my gut says (Sterling).

A

A

I'd go Zabaleta. But only because I don't see the point in 6m defenders if I won't play them.

right. Have a nice day - Bon Jovi

Take some photos 🙂

Night Innsie

No idea. Perhaps for the Argentinians, especially for that wonder goal @ WC2006. Very solid, but not one the best in his position, unlike Makalele.

Probably on a par with guys like Ortega and Saviola. He's an Inter legend though I'd say.

Him & Veron up there for the best mids for them, so yes probably

Boyd.

Boyd.

B

Im having a funny feeling about Boyd this week

Left to me.

Yep that's more or less bang on , it's the use of 3 Chelsea spots where the key we will be , those with Fab and Costa will have to gamble on cheap defense , those with Fab and defender have to hope they can find the in form 3rd striker ahead of the curve

Money in bank?

Looks good.
