      Not stupid if itsyour first time. You don't necessarily have more to spend. If you're player goes up a lot, and you never get rid it means nothing. But if he gets injured or form goes and sell you make more than you bought him for. Lets say Sturridge is now 9, he does well and goea to 10 and gets injured, you sell him for 50% of profit, so 9.5.
      Now you can buy a 9.5 player see.
      Player pices going down are a major issue if in your team. If you have 1m in the bank and wang to sell a 5m to get 6m and your 5m goes down by 0.1 you wont be able to get him.

    Are any Lukaku owners keeping for next week? I will wait til after the Villa match, but after Lukaku's performance on the final day of last season, surely Mourinho will want to start him? I can imagine that he'd want to target a potentially "weakened" United side with Moyes inexperienced at that level (and that's coming from an Everton fan), and Lukaku could bully them this early in the season, which I don't think Torres and Ba could do. Also, ditching Ivanovic this week would allow me to upgrade Lukaku next week, whereas now I have nothing in the bank.

      Think its going to be hard for me to stick with him. With Chelsea being in Europe I still expect him to be rotated even if he does start banging them in in the league.

      My other 2 are Benteke & Bony who I'm happy with and I think Lukaku will go to Negredo/Dzeko for the next 3 GWs(really nice 3 fixtures) then Negredo/Dzeko will become Sturridge in time for GW6.

      As he did well (as did Villa) vs 'Pool last season and with a fair wind Benteke will do better than a goal every 2 games. Doesn't seem to get injured and is nailed on. it is not that much trouble to bench a player for 1 game that you want in your team long term.
