    Well, after my WC I had second worse result - I have been afraid that I ruined it all with WC and wanted to give up.

    But now I had quite a nice score.... and I am still climbing up and I have a motivation to continue.

    cheers.

      Got none of them and won't get any either unless Valencia keeps it up for one or two more games. Fixtures are not good and United are not at the top of their game. Still, he's pretty likely to do well so if you buy him I think it will be decent.

        I don't think it's worth getting Valencia in with that team. If you really want him you'll need to chuck either Enrique or Sturridge or both and upgrade Ireland. Selling the other four makes no sense.

        I'd stick to what you have

          But

          Demp Sess Silva Valencia Bale

          Just looks like sex on legs...but i just cant give in to blowing my wad on just the midfield..it seems risky as hell...thanks for input mate!! Really useful!

          What would you say about sodding off Jose E for a city defender, had Jose since about 5.1m...downgrade Ireland to bench favourite Ferg?? Any thoughts welcome.

      Decent team, I like the Sess/Barfa rotation idea too.

      Sorensen is a worry though and so is doubling on Stoke defs. Lindy could be good value and Kelly as an alternative to Shotton?

      Maybe Welbeck as another striker option? Not too keen on Fletcher myself.

        Fletcher was one i wanted to improve on...
        you think doubling up on Fulham defenders is better than double Stoke?

        agree on Sorensen... i wanted krul but i cant afford to get him and lose the 3rd newcastle spot i'm saving for Ba...

        thought about Welbeck but unsure about the fixtures... kinda like to dump both Sturridge AND Fletcher...

          Sorry yeah didn't notice Senderos. Maybe Lindy instead of Sor to avoid the Stoke doubling, avoids the risk of Sor being dropped too.

          Up front is tricky. Helguson has great fixtures and should be nailed on as long as QPR don't buy a striker. Thats a bif if though. Sturridge is fine I think unless Chelsea buy a right sided forward, then you have to worry. Would rather have Welbeck or Zamora in my team than Fletcher.

              am not sure meself, just don't like BAE's fixtures

              I also can't decide whether to rotate keepers or just by Cech or Hart (rotation is by far the cheaper option, saves about 1.5 million, but may be more risky)

    Hey, what do you reckon about bringing in the Boss as part of the defence? Chelsea fixtures are not that bad and they seem to rotate well as part of a ManUn, ManC, New defence line. Just noticed that last time the Boss scored well (the first three GWs) his price rose to 6.3. At a price tag at 5.5 and two decent GWs, surely he should be someone to keep an eye on.

      Price rises were skewed at the beginning because of all the wildcarding. Also can't see Bos getting a run of 3 games with Ivanovic fit and Cahill in.

        Looking in the past fixtures, the Boss was in the 1st XI in 16 out of the 20 possible games he could have played (taking off the 2 games he was suspended), so it seems unlikely that he will be put on the bench just because Ivanovic/Cahil. Considering that Chelsea are still in the CL this is when Bos becomes a rotation risk. Would AVB pick him up in CL or Prem games ahead of Ivanovic/Cahill?

    Just wanna throw a bit of perspective out their for the knee-jerkers:

    - Walters: Yes he missed a penalty but players do from time to time, hes still got an impressive home ppg and Stoke have some sexy home fixtures coming up.

    - Newcastle & Liverpool defences: Both obviously took a battering this week but they arent suddenly useless after 1 game. They are 2 of the best defences in the league. I would not be at all surprised if they both got clean sheets next week, i bet it happens more than you think when a team gets a battering.

    - Villa (in particular Keane): Do you remember when Villa won at Chelsea then people started going mad for Villa players, what happened the week after? They lost at home and failed to score against a team who hadnt won away all season.

    - Sturridge: So he was out for 2 games, comes back and doesnt score now hes not worth having? 9 goals, 3 assists, 14 baps. 7.5m for a striker in a top 6(?) side who regular.

    Thats all i can think of for now. Im not trying to affect anyones decisions on players and teams etc. just merely trying to add to the other side of the arguements and as i say, bring perspective! 🙂

      Disagree on Walters. Yes he's got good fixtures and an impressive home record, but he can't do anything away, and there's a risk of him being off penalties now, after missing 2. His home PPG is all down to the penalties he's had, and i can't just be relying on that with him. All Walters has in his repertoire is pens. I've sold for Sess who has outscored him this season without the aid of penalties, and he can do it home and away.

      Pretty much agree with the rest. Although i don't think Sturridge is a nailed on starter anymore.

        I know Walters is a penalty machine and cant do it away but id say in some ways its similar to Adam last season, i know he got a few assists too but his point were mainly down to Pens. If you can get someone to rotate with Walters then its not too bad. If he is off pens then i will most certainly get rid but until then i think hes a decent option. Id possibly look to do the same if i didnt have McClean but im not sure i would like to double up and it would cause some benching issues (again)

        What makes you think Strurridge isnt a starter now? He obviously wasnt quite ready the game before last but came straight back in the side last week even tho they won and he can actually score goals.

      I have Walters, Taylor, Krul, Sturridge. Still gonna watch Keane next week see how he gets on, he has a tendency to not work very hard for the ball and relies alot of the mid to feed him, this certainly what he does when playing for Ireland. Remind me a bit of Hesky without the donkeyness.

          My point was that you scored highest in a low scoring gameweek. But I have just realised it was my second highest gameweek score, so I take that back

          well done on all accounts

      Bench Mcclean and Simpson, but I expect Strurridge to do nothing either

        Fletcher doesnt score predictably, doesnt really matter who is opponent is

      Definitely play McClean and bench Simpson. Then it's a matter if you mind having two players in the Wolves/Pool game, could go for Sturridge and then choose whether to back Fletch or Enrique against each other.

      Before using FFS much
      End of last season - 4,700th

      After asking for more advice
      GW 22 - 250,000th

      Not knocking FFS at all, it's brilliant. I just wish i'd stick to gut feelings a bit more rather than taking peoples advice here as the gospel answer.

        One thing I learned is to know who you get advice from in FFS... lots of bad adives here... not saying I'm any good...
