      Suarez -> Ade

      Could look at getting Mata in maybe too, looads of options.

      Ben Arfa was my first choice, but not so sure. I think Rodwell, Drenthe and Hibbert is a bit too excessive cover for an Everton team that isn't looking too good.

      Think I can afford to wait a day to make the transfer anyway.

          no option 2 Brown is your 4.5 million defender then get Bale. if you really want to avoid Brown then your best bests are Naylor or a WBA defender, unless you fancy a JamsieP style punt on Fabio.

    from previous post

    ok short of Studge, who I’m reluctant to get just yet, I can’t see any options other than Welbeck to replace Hernandez (I already have Ba and I have 3 Spurs players so no Ade on the menu)Can’t see the point in the Yak he won’t deliver another haul like that, Morison and Helgicopter have tough fixtures coming up and Graham is injured (though he is an option but it leaves me with only Jones as United coverage) Anyone any ideas? Have already taken a 4 point hit, but an 8 point hit given the state of my ML won’t be all that bad as long as it’s for a player who can repay it.

        the Yak also feels like too much of a kneejerk. It does give me plenty of free cash though. It's all about finding the guy who'll deliver constantly. The Yak seems to have 1 good game, then do nothing for weeks, then have another good'un, tough call to make.

        Thanks Corrigan - just read it 🙂

        Yes, when you go through your own defenders and compare with others, exp defenders don't seem that attractive. For instance with me:

        Simpson-4.0 now entering a good run of fix with solid form all season. Why get rid?
        Brown-4.5 new manager sure to tighten up systems/teamplay with good fix. Why get rid?
        McAuley 4.0 WBA have kept 3 cs, City have 4. Why spend an extra 2 mill on Bad K et al?
        Naylor 4.0 Home form speaks for itself when it comes to cs. Amuses me how ppl are suddenly deserting SWN.
        Enrique 5.1 Budget buy of the season. LIV have only once conceded more than one goal.

        Do I want Jones, Vermaelen, Vidic etc instead of these? Of course not! 😉

          Sensible talk once again. K has been such a disappointment, hasn't he.

          Anyway, let's stick to the Reeson principles/philosophy/convention. I'm annoyed at having not bought Enrique - didn't trust Pool for cleanies but he does look a bargain. But after the price rise and Lucas' injury, I put him in the "keep, but not buy" category.

          I'm looking at swapping McAuley for Gabbi as he rotates with Naylor superbly and QPR don't have a bad home game till March post-Utd.

          I'm looking at BAE as my caviar defender. Can see Spurs cleanies with Friedel, Parker and King on form. Got the Holy Trinity at the mo, though!

          Interesting that I didn't lose too much rank this week. Simply because I could afford Bale, Ag, RVP, Silva etc!

In principle, I would love to get rid of Rooney BUT...I've kept with him since gw 1 and I'm not about to let him go because: Hernandez out, Welbeck not a hundred percent fit, Berb out, Owen out..Rooney should play high up top flanked by a million midfielders and score hattricks against ridiculous favorable fixtures coming up...RIGHT?!

      Do nothing more. Snow on the way might mean cancellations, besides I'm keeping Rooney too. Think people getting shut, especially with Hernandez being injured, are being pretty short sighted.

      Wait and see is my advice for the moment, maybe think of getting rid of one of the Newcastle defenders - with Colo and Saylor out we're going to struggle for clean sheets in the short term.

          Well he's in my thoughts at the moment. There is a chance that Colo will play the next match, hard to say. Steve T definitely out though

    5 Baps, mediocre I suppose. Vermaelen is a FPL hero though, a cracking diff!

        Before the Fulham game, so went through the agony (OG) and ecstacy of that match. 9, 15 (pre baps) from two games is nice!

      I went for Santos over him but now I don't think I'm going to get Baines I may make a sideways transfer and get him in.

        Man City away are pretty nasty, but then they ease up. Baines too has some tasty fixtures - happy to have both but means my midfield is pretty gash.

        Thats the point. If he doesn't play, enter Krul, if he does, cheap Man U defensive cover. It's a good plan 🙂

    Krul - Vorm
    Jones - Walker - Enrique - Simpson - N.Taylor
    Silva - Bale - Ramsey - Walters - Dyer
    RVP - Aguero - Adebayor

    2 FT
    2.2 in bank

    Thinking Walker + Ramsey > Tierney + Nani

    Sounds good? Any better ideas?
