Got this team after doing De Laet—>Brown early this week. Do I bench Dyer or Drenthe?

Vorm (Given)
Kompany, Brown, BAE (Simpson, Enrique)
Silva, VDV(v), Walters, Drenthe (Dyer)
Rooney, RVP(c), Sturridge

0.3 left, and I feel like making another change. So any of these worth a hit, if not then which would you do next week?

A – Given–>Ruddy
B – Kompany–>Richards or Jones
C – Rooney—>Hernandez/Aguero/Ade

Cheers

        Seems sound enough. Can do Rooney+Sturridge--->Hernandez and Ade (with 0.2 spare) for a -4 next week or spread it over 2 weeks. Had intended to get Ba for Sturridge.

  Like Rooney, if you're paying 12m in the hope a pen might save him then it may have come to the point of selling him. Soon, obviously.
  
  His last 5 goals have all come from open play. An excellent option for this week, but I'm not sure over the next few with the fixtures and four yellows.

Thinking of wildcarding will need to wildcard by Dec 9th anyway as away until Jan 4th

De Laet > Baines
Ramsey > Drenthe
Murphy > Bale
Suarez > Adebayor
Agbonlahor > Yakubu

Leaves me 0.1 in the bank
Keeping: Westwood, Vorm
Orr, Enrique, Simpson, Brown
VDV, Dyer, Silva
RVP

Eh forget it.. will downgrade Richards to Brown and upgrade Allen to Sinclair/Sessegnon.. leaves 0.4 for Sturridge to Ba later on
Team would be
Vorm Ruddy
Baines Jones Enrique Brown Simpson
Vdv Silva Walters Sinclair Pilkington
Rvp Adebayor Sturridge

Feel bad as this way i used my wildcard for just
Nani, Suarez, Ramsey, Moses, Kompany, Wilkinson
OUT
Walters, Adebayor, Sinclair, Pilkington, Jones, Baines
IN
anyway.. what do ppl think of it?
or is Sinclair to Allen and Brown to Richards better?

        Just a bit too much money in defence for my liking but then, if you click my link you'll see im not a fan of an expensive defender, generally.
        
        I'd be tempted to use the £0.4m to get sorenson/westwood instead of Ruddy incidentally ... but you've probably thought about that already.

        Thing is i consider only Rvp, Ade, Vdv, Silva consistent.. lost faith in midprice mids for a while now.. with that team i get Richards, Jones, Baines and Enrique who all seem destined for 150+.. also if they get benched in real life they'll rarely ever come on for 1 minute cameos like attackers could.. also i'm playin vorm till jan so dont need a back up.. Pilkington and Allen seem able subs and i can rotate with walters and my midprice striker is Sturridge and soon Ba.. so i can play him every week till Jan..

You sometimes need to take a gamble in cup comps so lets say 95% of players left in cup comp have RVP as capt. Surely it's time to take a gamble rather than relying on the resy of your team to outdo the rest of your opponents team. Just a thought (i'll prob capt RVP lol)....

ok I have 2 options this week. which is best

a) Sess and Graham (taking Allen out)

b) Sess and Helgs/Morison (taking Tiote out)

Either striker will be for Aguero, may seem odd but I need serious cash to address a couple of weak points in my team, going down that low frees up much money, just a question of which outcome offers best points return.

My PP Cup opponent looks a tough nut to crack. Our differentials are:

Me: Westwood,Brown, Wilko,Vermaelen, Ramsey, Adebayor
Him: Vorm, Jones, Enrique, Kompany, Sessegnon, Agbonlahor

He has 2 freebies too, so I imagine Bongy will get upgraded, and perhaps Kompany too. Going to be tough. Any chance pour moi?

Original plan was Dunne/Woody -> Verm/Naylor, however Moses more likely to fall than Woody this week, and I would probably bench Naylor this week, so now looking at Moses -> Reo-Coker/Tiote instead.

What do people reckon on Rooney to Adebayor this week or Agbonlahor to Helguson, the latter obviously depending on injury news? Or both as planning on bringing Ba in for Agbon/Helguson in 2 weeks anyway?

I know there are mixed feelings about keeping Rooney but I feel I'm losing out if I keep holding on in case. Got 2 FTs and 0.5m in bank. Team is linked.

  To be honest Ade, Helguson (and Sturridge) are on my radar as Suarez repalacements this week.
  
  Team news will dictate things - don't reckon Fergie will give too much away on Rooney (sounds like he won't make it). Helguson; Warnock seemed pessimistic on his chances of starting.
  
  Rooney > Ade....Bolton at home next week could be 3 or 4 for Spurs.

    If he does get rested (which I doubt), he’ll only come on if Arsenal need goals, and will probably score them. If Arsenal are 3-0 up on 60 minutes, there’s no chance he’ll come on so your vc can take over. Unlikely he’ll just get 10 minutes at the end.

  In what sense does Ramsey have the footballing ability to rival Heskey? By all reports he's been playing well, just not getting FPL points.
  
  But still a better bet than say Walcott (who suddenly seems popular) imo. It's 2 goals + 3 assists (Walcott) versus 1 goal + 4 assists (Ramsey) so far this season, and Walcott comes at a much higher price.

  Ramsey has made some absolutely blinding through balls this season and only been let down by poor finishing (normally from Gervinho). He will get assists and the odd goal though often he is the guy that plays the "pre-assist" out to the wingers admittedly. I am an Arsenal fan and therefore biased but comparing Ramsey to Heskey is very unfair...

    Was thinking of drafting Aguero in next week for the juicy home game v Norwich. Could see rotation being rife for that game though - right across the board - before the key CL game v Bayern Munich.
    
    Could see Aguero being benched v Norwich. Mancini got it wrong by not starting Richards and Aguero v Napoli etc.

  I'd be tempted by Gabbidon to Brown - if you're only ever playing 3 defenders and shotton isn't falling in price, no harm in keeping him until the january WC.
  
  That said, you never know when you need a sub so Shotton to Brown is safer.
  
  I would take a 4pt hit but im biased because whenever I've taken one this season, I've green arrowed.

  So you're considering another striker to then put Ba in next week? You're taking too many hits here.
  
  You need to sit down and look at where you want to be in 3 weeks and what the cheapest way to get there is.
  
  I'm not sure where you think your weaknesses are - why not just take woodgate out for a 4.0m --> Wilkinson or McAuley for free, then you have £0.5m to upgrade Tiote/Allen next week. Downgrading Aguero to Ba can wait until after Man City host Norwich next week I reckon.
