You will complete regret that highly doubt that's worth 8 points especially barkley he will most likely be a one game wonder..

A- they both are likely to get 90 minutes , whereas oscar may not

Honestly, I like B. Giroud seems to have settled well with great fixtures to come, and Oscar looks really sharp down the middle.

lost mine 76-79

I have exact same dilemma. I'm leaning towards Dzeko but it doesn't feel right for some reason. Just have a horrible gut feeling Negredo & Aguero might start the game

I believe the only reason Aguero was withdrawn was, with the game all but done, Pellegrini took the chance to rest him up considering his considerable lack of pre-season fitness. He may not get 90 next game, but he looks set to start and thus be a major captaincy option.

Dzeko captain?

PANATHA MIA ZOI hahahah

BBC are usually reliable too.

From making a 10m bid for cabaye you are going to spend upto 60-70m to get benzema and du maria. How deluded are these gooners.

Would be a great move.. Benzema could be a good fantasy option too, seems to have a goal and assist threat.

Di Maria I could see. But would Madrid let another striker go before they get one in (if they even get one in at all)? I think that would leave them with Morata (sp?) and a rejected bid for Suarez.

I'm not as against point hits as most people here (although I will try not to go crazy with them like I did in my first season). My thought is if it makes your team better long term AND has at least what you consider a 50/50 chance of paying off in the week ahead, go for it.

I can justify my hit quite easily cos I have Lukaku (likely 1pt), R Morrison (0/1pt) and then I'm in to my 4.0mil DFers. Getting Aguero for a 4pter gives me much more potential next week

In very basic terms I'd say I often base it (amongst countless other variables) on the following:

1. Player imminently becoming unavailable to me due to price rises or falls.
2. Double GWs -> 4 point hits often become only (at least) 2 point hits. Although doing them after the double pains me, feels more like trying to get out of debt than investing as it were.
3. Not being able to field 11 (or at least a good 10).
4. Freeing up cash for other moves, although unless another of the above points is in contention this is usually done without hits.
5. How early in the season it is. By this I mean, a GW2 hit gives you a lot longer for that player to repay you than a GW32 hit. And early hits can often crow-bar you into a commanding early position in your league given the right calls. It's easier to maintain a lead than chase one.
6. And finally, linked to point 5, my position in the mini-league. I don't want to be taking hits when the title is separated by single figure points.

(7. Post GW-hit, if the player I brought in for the hit outscores the one leaving by 4 or more I consider it a success. You know, ignoring all the others that didn't come off.......)

And an overriding factor is often that player's position; as is regularly said on here, points hits for defenders or goalkeepers rarely prove worth it.

YAY 😀

Legend.

well done

lukaku for dzeko

I think Ivanovic might have his place taken off him by Azpilicueta for the United game. Mourinho's post match comments tonight hinted he nearly gave Apzi the start but opted for Ivanovic's physical presence against Benteke; United don't have a Benteke - I can see Azpilicueta getting his start.

Lukaku must be due a start too, he ripped the same United defence up a few months ago, and in what Mourinho has said is a three-way rotating striker spot, Lukaku is the one without a start so far.

So with that in mind, Ivanovic to Zaba or Vertonghen.

You can only swop him for one

im thinking that too , but on his debut? maybe he needs a few games in the PL first

like two seasons ago when you beat udinese??

Maybe nailed to the bench if their two new rumoured signings happen.

Not with Willian (and potentially another) coming in. Shame, I love that man in a totally platonic FPL way.

I think he will be back he had minor injury

Liverpool beat Stoke 🙂

Won 62-59. One of the only positives of this gameweek.

Beat Doos -: 80-61 🙂

I beat Declan 88-87 😀

Panathinaikos beat KR Reykjavik

88-60 🙂

everton beat norwich

Still insane, play one of them! 😀

id go for lambert in your shoes

Im currently between Lambert and Dzeko. What do you think?

Surely Benteke?

I've gone Kun but would do Giroud or Studge from the options you give.

CIty have cardiff then hull mate, its gota be dzeko , other than scoring he did everything right against Newcaste and got man of the match, hes bound to play in my opinion

thanks for the advice guys! this season's is up and running for me, in terms of transfers at least.

i must also note that i plan to get RVP in for Dzeko GW4, so the Dzeko punt will be voluntarily cut short anyway, not just cut short because it didnt work out

Moving Kevin Mirallas on after 1 game?

Ridiculous if you ask me. He will score very well this season. I'll stick my neck on the line and say top 5 points scoring midfielder by the end of the season. Top player. Looked good in preseason. Looked OK in the first game of the season.

Be patient mate! How about Sturridge instead of Aguero? You have Silva....

Nope... I have got Kun in but not like that.

Thanks for the advice guys 🙂

I'd hold onto Mirallas for now, a 7.5m goal-scoring mid sometimes pretending to be a striker sounds good to me. He didn't score this week sure, but neither did plenty of others that have done it before and will do it again (cough Michu cough). Sturridge could be your man, if that fits your budget.

He should be playing this week and he is the best player for that amount if you could get 7m then go for Nolan as he will do you well

mate i got 90 and im 11th, what is this bullshit hahahah

depends if you are set on a city defender or not. If yes then he is good option, if not i quite fancy Lovren, seems like a player who could rack up bonus points to me and is pretty decent threat at set plays

Maths, Economics and Computing are great choices. I'm not sure how favourably Accounting is looked at for A-level.

Why not pick a doss subject? 😉

Good luck, them picks depend entirely on what you want to do when you're older, however I'd be wary of Accountancy as apparently it can be hard transitioning from A-Level to University level as they can teach you in completely different styles or something, some people claim it can be a hindrance, although I'm quite clearly not speaking from experience!

Loads of people I know hated Computing and dropped it after the first year.

Excellent choices if you are mathematically minded.

No, it was a cross not a shot

Dzeko crossed it in , wasn't a shot

a pass =/= a shot

Valdes to Arsenal, Willian to Spurs, Lamela to Spurs, Eto to chelsea?

Bale and Ronaldo playing off Suarez would just be unbelievable.

....able to regain their dignity by not having to cheer for that piece of shite.
