    So, I'm deffo saving this week, and going into the international break with 2FT, but I've already got a plan to spend them (dependent on Mane's performance againnst the Mackams).

    From this:

    Myhill - Butland
    Kolarov - Bellerin - van Dijk - Moreno - Francis
    Sanchez - de Bruyne - Payet - Mané - Mahrez
    Pelle - Vardy - Ighalo

    Kolarov > Ward
    Mané > Özil

    Kolarov is a rotation risk now, and he's storing my Aguero cash after the purchase of VvD. I'm one easy transfer to Ageuro (for Pellè) from here.

    What do we think??

        Appreciate your views mate. Wasted why?

        The Kolarov one is going to happen at some point to free up the Aguero cash (and since Clichy is back). Ward has some really nice fixtures coming up, particularly the week I have Moreno v City.

        The Özil one is prone to change and is something I've just contemplated this morning. I'm confident he's going to keep churning out points. Mane was bought long-term, but with easy fixtures in mind too. If he can't deliver against Bournemouth or Sunderland I'll be worried.

          Wasted why?

          - Kolarov is still delivering and Kun isn't back yet, hold fire
          - Mane still has the fixtures and the potential to carry on getting points, not time to sell yet

          The plans will change if

          - Kolarov gets a clean sheet again and/or attacking returns
          - Mane performs against Sunderland
          - Other issues arise that are clearly more urgent.

            You're right on Aguero actually. Maybe I can be a little more patient with freeing up his cash.

            As suggested below, maybe I can just get Ward in for Francis for the time being (again post-Internationals).

              The Kun money is sitting in KDB, not kolarov. Wait for Kun to be fit and getting 90 min games before buying. There are 4 games within 10 days during Xmas, I'm sure Pelegrini will be wary not to let his star player break down again.

                Dubious about getting rid of KdB. Plenty of time for that decision though in reality

                    I'm still nervous that Kolarov won't blank (which I could cover), he'll get 1 point cameos, which is a disaster for a premium slot.

                This is a very good point and what I pointed towards when picking my wildcard squad. KdB -> Ayew/Lamela/Barkley/Cabaye/Willian allows me Bony -> Aguero which is really nice as there are so many options at that 7m price point who all look on the edge of breaking through as real FPL prospects soon.

          I know what your saying, totally. I just think City have had one of the best defences so far this season when Kompany has been fit and if you have a strong enough bench to cover him if he misses a game or two he might be worth carrying for a bit longer.

            Cheers mate. It's helped talking this through, because Aguero's not actually here yet, I can be a little more patient in freeing up his cash, and see how much longer I can get consistent starts from Aleks.

            My concern, with regards to your 'decent backup' argument (because I believe I have it, is that he may come on 1 point cameos.

    Now I apologise if it is cheap way of playing.

    I've made a secondary team with players that I don't have in my main team/punts that I think may be useful.

    Diva. Not sure if I can suggest some article ideas for your blog but here's a few anyway.

    I'd like to see an article on players we could potentially consider selling in the near future. It could be like spotting a trend before its really obvious.

    I'm looking at KDB and Mane right now and even though no one is seriously considering selling them now, I think we are beginning to be alerted by their recent lack of returns. I'd be interested in seeing some articles geared towards selling players we daren't sell yet.

      Hi Ryan. Thanks for the suggestion. I think I began moving in that direction with the weekend Vardy post. And the idea got another boost after I posted a link on here to one of Doosra's tables and it prompted another member to say they were changing their transfer plans to keep someone. I also realised I hadn't done much on midfielders recently because are midfields have been relatively settled. In short: yes, it'll probably happen - or something similar. The international break could be a great time for a stock take.

      And don't save because you already have 2FT's and you can't collect more. By using just 1FT you are still saving the other.

      I'm hoping the cricket team can backup the fantastic AB's performance at the RWC

        I bloody well hope so, Ryan. So angry with those cheating lowlife aussies. Preparing sustandard warm up pitches and now Davey Dum Dum mouthing off against B - Mac.

        😡

          Not too bothered by the abandoned warm up match. We were only using part time bowlers in the end.

            I wasn't either but it's always good to slag the sledgers off. 😉

        Never mind that, Santa - there's a cricket match to be won. We've been suffering for 34 years against the sledgers.

          What's wrong with sledges? I have one.

            Sledges and sledgers are two different things, Santa.

    So how has Tottenham's sudden amazing turnaround in defence happened?

    This is Jan and Toby's 9th season playing together at club level and they've played about 40 internationals together...

      Those 2 has been the main factor. Dier has performed pretty well along with Lloris.

        Alli as well is such an upgrade on Bentaleb, they actually look very solid through the middle this year

      Poch was a also good for the Southampton defence. I guess it sometimes takes a little while to pull things together. Also, Dier seems to be doing a better job in the middle of the park than some of the other players they had bought in to fulfil that role.

        Yep I seem to remember a player interview in the off-season saying it took them 6 months to get to grips with his pressing system and by then they only had a few games left in the season.

          Then I'd probably suggest shipping Galloway unless you're happy to make two defensive transfers in the next couple of weeks.

            Thanks Diva, i am currently swaying that way too. But that means i will lose some value on Richards and only god knows if i will ever field him again
