        With money not an issue I'm tempted to hold on for at least the next two?

        Unless you want a punt on the last game of GW22, at home to WBA?

      Hold, he could rise

    Thanks to those who replied on the last page!

    Looks like you all thought Costa had to go so I guess I'll go with that....

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Just did Costa > Kun myself on a FT. Been wanting to ditch him for a while.

    Oh yes baby.

    Best Patriots win of all time......................


    Huge kudos to the Ravens - hell of a game played by them.

      1. Arsenal USA FC
        • 13 Years

        Have some issues, little ways from being playoff caliber though (next year IMO)

      Ravens brought the Regular Season Flacco, not a chance...

  7. DHWizzo
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    This rush to get a not match fit Aguero in (who looked sluggish today) just in time for City's matched with Arsenal and Chels all to beat a 0.1 rise is madness.

    May his hammy go in the 8th minute to all you nervous Nelly's.

    1. RSe
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      0.1? I wish. Holding off but he will be up more than that by the weekend.

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      See my team below and you'll know why I'm trying to best the rise.

    3. Hurnt
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Ull have to get him in anyway good luck hoping he blanks next 2 weeks:)

      1. DHWizzo
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        You act like your other strikers won't score, which isn't the case.

        Patience is key to doing well at FPL. Fall prey to prices and your team will circle the toilet.

        Plus, most people have millions in the bank at his stage.

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      looks like you want to convince yourself not to get him

      1. DHWizzo
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        No convincing needed.

        My team is good. Toping all mini-leagues. A respectable 3K rank.

        Playing my game confidently. I find I do better the more i avoid these boards and stick to the articles on FFS b

    5. Hibbo

      You wish him hamstring injury?

  8. Hurnt
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Ok just hit the button

    How does this WC look ?

    Heaton
    Rose Trippier Wasilewski
    Hazard Sanchez ADM Erikson
    Costa Aguero Kane

    Hamer Boyd Debuchy Wisdom

    0.0 ITB

    Weak at back I know but ok overall???

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Backs look horrible get baired for wasilewski ditch rose too

    2. Le Limpar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Don't like a defence with no Saints and no CFC - the 2 best defences.

      1. Hurnt
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Agree but

        Na I see us point

        I'll go back I think lol

      2. Hurnt

        Can do Ivan tadic for adm debucy

  9. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    @BSNOWBADGER

    Panti
    Terry - Clyne - PVA
    Hazard - Sanchez - ADM - Siggy
    Costa - Kun - Kane

    Hamer -- Albrighton - Baird - Wasi

    As you can see, low TV really hurts this time of the year.

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      So get rid of Costa...

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        This. Quite a simple fix.

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          If I sell and he hits a purple patch, I'll need to drop a midfielder to get him back and pay at least 0.5 more

          1. Billy Gilmore
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Until then I'll happily enjoy more points from my replacements.

      2. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Can't do it. I just know it will come back to haunt me

    2. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Youve had CLyne for the long haul I take it? I would probably ditch Costa myself for that. Here's how Im lining out at the minute

      Foster/Krul

      Alderweid PVA Hutton Baird Cameron

      Sanchez Hazard Silva Fabregas Boyd

      Costa Aguero Kane

      0/.3m in the bank. Thinking of ditching Costa myself 😆

  10. Mavric Marco
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Triple WBA on my Wildcard 😕

    Foster Hamer
    Alderweireld Wasilewski Wisdom Baird Bruce
    Sanchez Fabregas Hazard Di Maria Boyd
    Agüero Costa Kane

    I'm happy with that moving forward.

    1. Hurnt
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      West brim fixtures not great

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I'm backing the TP affect

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      dat defence

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I know 😛

        Cant have an attack like that with out some sacrifice

    3. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I think tripling West Brom defense isn't a bad idea but I wouldn't be comfortable going in with such thin backups if they have a poor fixture.

    4. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Don't you want a Chelsea defender?

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        No, Fab Haz & Costa have all done well for me and I can't part with any of them.

  11. Mak_Gold
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Krul,
      Terry, Zabaleta, Wisdom,
      Hazard, Sanchez, Silva, Downing,
      Costa, Rooney, Austin.

      Subs: Pantilimon, Boyd, Hutton, N. Taylor.

      2 FTs, £0.4m in the bank.

      How do I get Agüero in this team? Wouldn't mind taking a hit to get Kane in either.

      1. Hurnt
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Zab to trippier

        Rooney/Costa to aguero

      2. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Don't and wait until you wildcard.

      3. ILOVEBAPS
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Costa > Kun
        Austin > Kane

        Does that work ££ ?

        1. Mak_Gold
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Yes, I can afford it. Or I can keep Costa and do:

            Zab -> Bertrand
            Rooney -> Agüero
            Austin -> Kane

            4 pt. hit. Which one should I go for? Must say I prefer your way.

            1. ILOVEBAPS
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              I like my way without the hit and you keep Rooney for some great fixtures.

              1. Mak_Gold
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Okay, cheers. 🙂

                  Selling value and lost value have to be factored in at times too.

          Should I do, Siggy/Sterling/Marney -> ADM/Haz/Chadli for a -4?

          Would have to bench one of...

          ADM Haz Chadli Sanchez Silva

              Lambasted him a bit the past few pages, sold him now though...

              The devil in my head is saying 'Fabregas is crap 2nd half of the season' 'Austin won't score any more' etc etc...

                  Aguero as the direct swap. On WC

                  Current team is: http://i.imgur.com/ZewCDuh.png

                You could wake in a few cold sweats if Costa's hits his strside, ... Again.

                  I agree,

                  I just think that the 3 'valuable' striker spots can be better used, and I also believe Costa can be covered by the midfielders (who are cheaper).

            I'm feeling the same. Logically getting rid seems like a good move but it's gonna hurt every time he scores.....

            1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Definitely.

              IMO everyone will have Aguero so he will end up being a 0point player
              I think everyone good will have Kane too,
              So it's Austin vs Costa up front...

              Just depends if the value mid's like Siggy/Downing keep performing, or if a strong defense outperforms a week defense etc.

            I don't think you should be. I mean, he scored in a 2-0 win and still got only 6. Meanwhile, Kane and Austin both scored in 2-1 losses and got 2 and 1 baps respectively.

            Similar story all season.

          @TorresMagic,

          I cannot see my posting history on my profile anymore.

          Others have reported this issue.

          Any fix available?

          Thanks

            Maybe clear the website part.

          get silva instead of aguero? the point is there are a lower price of striker that performing well like kane and austin, and with yaya toure out at least for 2-3 weeks, silva play more advance role..

            Not a like for like replacement. Kun is a great armband candidate too.

                Costa... Rooney has great fixtures and is more explosive.

          Should I WC to make the following changes?

          Gilks -> Foster
          Zabaleta -> Bertrand
          Wasilewski -> Baird
          Baines -> PVA
          Fabregas -> ADM
          Benteke -> Aguero

          Make those changes or just not take a hit and wait until the following week?

          Probably well documented but worth a post anyway. Anybody wanting a one week punt in defence need look no further than Jenkinson next week. .A bit of a gamble on BFS playing the same formation but very promising if he does....Avg position for this GW

            Haha, was thinking who is BFS and then the penny dropped. I always thought that Big Fat Sam rolled over like a big fat old labrador whenever his teams played Man U. Therefore it came as no surprise reading Ferguson's book where he described Allardyce as a "great pal". Good boy...here, have some gum.

            Depends.

            WC transfers don't contribute towards rises and falls.

            Many are WCing

              I don't mean price Pug.

              I mean how many are ditching him for Agüero.

              And what % of top 10k teams will own Costa next gw.

          Oscar playing so well is bad news for Fabregas, im keeping Costa, he so low maintainance, and there will be a big haul, just a matter of time

            Costa does well when I don't have him and poor when I do. Most frustrating player for me. At least Fabregas is relatively consistent all around.

            There'll be a red card and a 2 match YC ban too.

            At some point. Probably a straight red.

              Does that what you lose weight?

          Terry Hutton Wisdom PVA Wasilewski
          Haz Siggy Sanchez Boyd 8.8
          Costa Kun Kane

          Should I spend that 8.8 in the midfield i.e. get someone like Eriksen in or get in the likes of shadily or downing and upgrade the def and get a GK rotation?
