      west ham fan here, i am under the impression he plays when fit. he was recovering from illness against reading. we have a very thin squad at the moment as it is, and collins is suspended this GW.

      Should be:

      Demel Tomkins Reid O'Brien
      Taylor Noble O'Neill Jarvis
      Collison
      Cole

      I think with his recent illness he's being eased back again but with Collins missing next up he'll play, and then hopefully finally cement his place.

    Yuck. Got potentially 4 out this GW. Need my winter WC. Best way of limping through this GW?

    Jaask Migs
    Nelsen Clyne Baines Enrique Baker
    Michu Bale Cazorla Sterling Puncheon
    RVP Berb Benteke

    Can't lose Michu, too much value tied up there. Could drop Bale for a week, but I'd just want him back next week. Easiest swap is Enrique -> anyone. Got £5.3m in the bank, so can play around.

    Got Benteke in as a punt as I'm WCing early, bit of a fail there. Might actually drop Bale for the week and bring him in next time on the WC. Basically I'm clueless at the moment. Any suggestions?

      I have a very similar team and already did Bale to Walcott--this was for money reasons going into the wc. Now I have Enrique to worry about, and I am waiting and hoping that he does not go down more than 0.1 (which I can afford in terms of selling value) before the next deadline. I am plannig to play Nelsen-Clyne-Baines so I can avoid a hit. But if any of Baines, Shorey, or Enrique threatens to go down enough to affect my selling value I will take a hit.

        Yeah, if I didnt have Cazorla, then Bale -> Walcott would be a no brainer. But raising money for the WC is a pretty good idea, Walcott will zip up. And I intend on having both for the DGW. Cheers.

    Ouch, not a great week for me. How to sort this bunch out? I actually haven't a clue.

    Begovic, Jaaskelainen
    Baines, Mertesacker, Cuellar, Nelsen, Demel
    Bale, Mata, Michu, Sterling, Puncheon
    van Persie, Suarez, Berbatov

    1 FT, nothing in the bank.

    I'm tempted to downgrade Baines and upgrade Sterling --> Walcott for -4. Thoughts?

      I'd avoid the hits and hold out until the wildcard. As you've held Baines this long I wouldn't drop him ow ahead of some reasonable fixtures and Sterling is sound this week. Bale to Caz or Walcott makes sense, or Michu to Fellaini ( depending on what sort of losses you'll incur)

        He will need time to integrate, i dont think benietez will immediately drop torres. He will play torres and if hes not doing well he will Sub Ba in until he is comformtable he will probably get 20minutes at the start. Thats what i think anyhow.

          That's why RVP is worth his ludicrously big price. In 16 out of 20 gameweeks he's got at least a goal or an assist (often more). Being able to bank on that as your captain every week is easily worth the price.

          I think it would be foolish of Rafa to play Mata against QPR. The threat of injury through fatigue over a long season just isn't worth it. If he does get injured he will only have himself to blame.

    Morning lads, just devised a pretty good WC team, what do yous think. Obviously price rises might force me to change Jones --> Pog. Would play 3-5-2 and bench Jones for every bad fixture. Defenders rotate okay(ish). Alternatively I can go DDG + Luiz as oppose to Cech + Rafael.

    Cech - Davis

    Rafael - Nastasic - Davies - Demel - Wilkinson (when he returns)

    Michu - Mata - Bale - Walcott - Fellaini

          I would've have thought SUN was so bad. I wouldn't have the balls myself, but Dempsey could be a nice option. All the players you suggest have their merits, or perhaps take on the crumbling Villa defence with a Swan, De Guzman looks good.

        When Rooney got injured I broke it up to get Bale in (for his hat-trick), then brought in Mata for Suarez which wasn't the greatest move, although should work out well.

        Could bring Suarez back in for Tevez this week, but just not sure.
