    Vorm / Kenny
    Enrique / Ward / Simpson / N Taylor / De Laet
    Silva / Nasri / Nani / Ramsey / N Dyer
    RVP / Sturridge / Adebayor

    3.5m in the bank. 1 free transfer, and I have just enough to do Ramsey > VDV, which is exciting me a great deal. Let's me hang on to Nasri (who I think will start home against Wolves), and Nani (I want to hang on to a Utd attacker). Do it? Downside is that it would leave me zilch to upgrade my shambolic defence... but, to be honest, I don't see much value in defenders this season anyway.

      Don't be afraid to spend the extra -4 points if you bet you can make the return. You've sometimes got to be aggressive in this game. I think VdV is a must for the next few weeks. He was my one transfer last week and that went very well.

    Will Bos's starting place be in any jeopardy on account of the sending off despite the one game suspension? Could see him maybe going for a more defensive option against Arsenal.

    Thoughts on team for next few weeks? Already made 3 trades, couldn't stand the thought of players rising before i wanted to trade them in

    Vorm (Ruddy)
    Kompany, Enrique, Simpson, Naylor (Wilkinson)
    Silva, Nani, VDV (Tiote, dyer)
    Rooney, Sturridge, RVP

    Sacrificed the defence for the attack, seems to be a trend of the high scoring teams, rely on budget defence while their strikers and midfielders do the rest

      personally don't agree with any of this covering talk or not having too many players from one team. if you think adebayor and vdv will score well get both, they don't get less points for playing for the same team.

        The reason for discussing coverage is because Spurs are not a priority that I look to get players in from. With VDVs run though and ever increasing price, I guess it's now or never.

          of the two i'd say he's more essential given that he's on all set-pieces and takes up a midfielder spot rather than the more scarce striker spot

    Anything that I should be changing here?

    Schwarzer / Ruddy
    Kompany / Jagielka / Jose Enrique / WBrown / Simpson
    VDV / Silva / Moses / Petrov / Ramsey
    Rooney / Dzeko / Odemwingie

    I have 0.7 in the bank. I'm looking at replacing Jagielka, Petrov, Odemwingie, and possibly Dzeko.

    Thinking either (1) Jags --> Shawcross, (2) Petrov --> Pilkington, (3) Odem --> Sturridge, (4) Dzeko --> Balotelli

    Let me hear it FFS 🙂
