of course you can.

10 pounds please.

Well worth paying a tenner to read that one. Do it now!!

I'm gonna pay the 10 pound fee I think

If it helps add an extra angle, I would get Benteke for the long term and Lukaku for the short term.

Benteke will have something to play for right up until the end of the season whereas Lukaku will be still fighting with Long and West Brom can rest on their laurels. For this week only though I fancy Lukaku.

and Remy?

I would say the article is very helpful but not conclusive. You could support either choice based on this article.

lukaku, 100kg

Lukaku. Because he would finish all the fecking chances that I create for the other numpties!!! 😉

both, if your club is the belguim national squad.

Lukaku but surely we should take the fixtures into account.

remy has significantly worse stats. also plays more on the wing.
if it was not for his price tag i dont think he would be a real alternative.

Whatever you can without taking a hit.

I *think* I am switching from 3-5-2 to 3-4-3 with Suarez-RvP and one of those two 😀

It's a solid 10 full of starters.

Taraabt is perhaps a small concern but you're right to ship him. His stats flatter to deceive and he is just not producing. Walcott for me btw.

Yeah, looks alright to me... would take Walcott of the 3 aforementioned Mids.

Benteke is clearly the focal point of our team. N'Zogbia may be fairly decent value but he's not going to be getting bigger scores than Benteke. We also have nobody else.

you might want him to complete a game first...

When he is back to full fitness yes, give him one more game then look at him - I've just bought in Sissoko for a 1 week punt, I think when HBA come's back he'll play behind Cisse and Sissoko will move further back where he is more established, although in fairness he has clearly done very well in that position so who knows..

Thanks.

Maybe in a couple of weeks .. a bit risky for me at the moment.

Especially in teams like AV and WBA where assist potential means nothing because there is literally no one else that can score 😉

can;t justify -8 for that when I'll be taking out a starter sadly. So it has to be one or the other.

Or the system will limit his goal threat too?

it;s this week that sways me atm, Reading are a shambles at the back atm.

With all the DGWs coming up, there could be a lot of transfer activity in this 3rd striker spot. I wouldn't be looking very long term. If Berba, Ba, Giroud or Dzecko have DGW then you might want them in for whoever you pick now. Might be worth going with the more expensive option (Benteke) just to make it easier to get any 3rd-striker-priced DGW striker in when you need them. I can't separate Benteke and Lukaku any other way. And that's before thinking about Lambert, Remy or Sturridge.

Mata, imo. Most others go the other way.

I'd take that hit.. for Fellaini.

no hit for a DF!
just sissoko

Thinking the same - his sheer dominance of their shots is very tempting. His penalties alone are worth a bunch of points, I've been holding off him so far and see he nets a bloody pen.

What are your thoughts on N'Zog, Little Wiz?

Good morning -- must say, that was some good conversation about captaincy, and was quite nice to hear from the topic of the debate himself.

Who are you?

Long term – definitely

Against Spurs – I'm not so sure. Rodgers might stick with the 4-3-3 to add that extra body in midfield to try and shackle Bale. All speculation though.

swansea's B team is not TOT.

pretty sure it will be:

GJ ---- Carra --- Agger --- JE
--------Lucas --- Gerrard--------
Downing - Suarez - Coutinho
---------------Sturridge-------------

NO if it's for a hit

I would do A. Norwich strong at home, and its points that win prizes 🙂

Yes

I would do Fellaini & Zabaleta --> Michu & Debuchy / Samba

For free and to field XI? Yeah definitely worth it.

It makes sense to me; gives you a full team, so nothing to gain by saving the transfer IMO.

Cheers fellas, will go for it then.

i think suarez has proven that he is a season keeper. top scorer in league. so since its a long term move i think you should make it.

most will captain him and if he explodes again, you will feel like shiteee

G Neville highlighted that Spurs were actually caught square a few times defensively last week vs Arsenal but Arsenal failed to pick the pass. The same happened again last night vs Inter at least twice but weren't punished.

Add to that Liverpool are strong at home and it's enough to convince me that Suarez is a decent captain pick.

If I were bringing in EITHER Suarez or Sturridge now, it would depend entirely on what I would be using the extra money for and who my rivals had. Suarez if money is no issue.

Cheers guys. All my rivals have Suarez, if I resort to Sturridge it means I can get Mata back easily, instead of relying on Sissoko for the next 2-3 weeks. What do you reckon?
