I like it a lot Fuzzy. Is Adebayor the real deal now? I see a lot of love for him here atm.

Enjoyable side.

as good as lallana has been for the price he is at and the fixtures the saints have, I don't know why lallana isnt in every WC.

Liverpool fan? I think Skrtel to Nastasic and Olsson to Chester would be a better use of funds. Will give you a little extra in the bank too.

Welcome along anyhow 🙂

personally I only intend on using the WC early if I think my team needs it

I'm probably spending points and saving the wc but each .1 is costing me greatly since I'm trying to squish so much into it!

Flynn, you obviously have your reasons (as above) for not playing your wildcard now. Many of us were forced into it due to injuries. Thus it made sense to play this week.

The way I see it, is you should still play it this week; albeit tonight. There's not been many price rises, if any with the key players. And the key players you'll want to buy are still 2-3 weeks away from fitness.

Thus I say play it now, catch many in your ML off guard. Then save next week and the following you've 2 transfers to bring the guys you're contemplating now. You can't lose.

Just my thrupenceworth

Afternoon ILF

Don't forget that the League Cup Final is on March 3rd ( gw 28 ) and the FA Cup 6th.round is the following week. If City manage to protect their lead against West Ham in the second leg neither they nor United will have a game in gw28. If City make it to the 6th.round of the Cup they will miss two consecutive weeks. Obviously we don't know when the schedule will be rearranged but it's worth bearing in mind before you load up on City players and have a bunch of deadlegs on your bench.

Thanks a lot for your thoughts guys, it seems we all have slightly different approaches to the situation. Which is good.
I think it will come down to injuries/suspensions or any outstanding performances.

Pie is not nice it is great. In all it's shapes and sizes

Who doesn't like a good hair pie?

Tau is the future

No complaints on having both to be honest. I think Chester, just.

Flip a coin Probably chester

A

Tricky one...but I would go for (A) as I still wonder if Eriksen may get rotated or subbed a bit as other attacking midfielders at TOT get fit (Gylfi, Paulinho) or into some form to justify transfer fees (Lamela). Hard to look past MCY's amazing points bonanza...

You know I did see that. I don't take it to heart but I do pay attention if he thinks a game is going to be 3-0, 4-0, etc. This week every pick seemed pretty ho-hum.

How much value? Personally plan on keeping Hazard but I have had him for ages

Difficult, I would end up with less tham 1.0mil if I swapped. If it was more and I thought I could usethe money to make more points from someone else then probably would.
I'm seeing too much value in mid-low price players and don't feel strapped for cash. Though I would if I wanted Aguero and a third pricey striker.

I'm rambling, which means it's tough choice and really you're on your own, sorry. 🙂

Good to go!

Mitch like my team!

It comes down to Mutch or Rooney out for a 4 point hit...Negredo and Adebayor do look promising this week. Rooney has CHE next week. If it does not cause you too much pain, take the hit...esp if you will retain the option to take your WC later in the month.

Get rid regardless of fitness. Return this year have not been there even when fit.

Better value is kos Azpi redistribute cash to other areas.

Play Ward and Chester. Two defensively sound teams playing against opposition who aren't scoring too many. Granted Spurs are getting better but they're hardly putting 4/5 past people. Ignore the glamour of the bigger teams and play the form

Enjoy your red arrows if it goes wrong. Which it probably will.

I think Ozil and Ade will both out score Suarez but I don't have the minerals to try it. Currently 15k and so playing it steady

You'll struggle when Aguero is back but for now it's fine

How will you get Aguero?

Nice Lennon pick......good luck

We should all try for 2 or 3 diffs at least, otherwise no one is going anywhere. I hope they work for you cheeseoid.

Yep absolutely the way to go......probably worth Ade or Neg to play this week and upgrade to Aguero next week.....I have left 5m in my WC to do this.

Would also do that Silva to Yaya upgrade without hesitation

No point taking Aguero now
Strong mid
Nasty not 100% nailed on IMO. Burner a risk with Solskjaer arrival (Hudson). Berahino not nailed on etc...

Take your time and play later

I like it...except you may want to have Negredo and keep the funds for a switch...with Lukaku/Ade/Giroud/Negredo all having interesting games the next 1-3 weeks, it would not be fun to watch Aguero on the bench one week and subbed off at 60 the next...

Thanks for the opinions guys, but this is a wildcard for NEXT week, Aguero should be back for the Cardiff game

I did 4 but with different incoming players

I was going with option 3 until Rooney confirmed out - now am option 1!

It's a judgement call really.

If it had to be one of your given options -> then I would choose (4) for a -4 hit

I did (1) this week.

nasti

Azpi but I think he is 5.3

Who are ur other defs? From the above i will consider azpi. U can oso go for bardsley or william in 2gw time where swans has great fixtures

1 for me

It will be interesting to see how he fits back in. He certainly doesn't seem nailed on so not too excited by him when Ozil is good to go and Ramsey is coming back. Also, a lotof people have Arsenal defenders so fitting Pod in right now isn't very popular. If he gets a run of games and scores a couple tht bandwagon will take off.

Pod wasn't very good when he played the other day
Caz has had more shots than Yaya so you'd think Caz has been unlucky to not score more points than he has

It'll be interesting to see how Arsenal settle now we know Walcott's not back this year.

Everyone saying Ozil but my heart think Cazorla is going to out score him in 2nd half of season.

B. By Far
Hazard>Oscar
Ozil>Cazorla
Eriksen could match Ade returns

But i would not take Berahino, not nailed with Anelka and Long returning. Try Chamack to warm your bench

Yeah can see Ozil to Ramsey and Ade/Lukaku to Aguero being popular

Crazy he still has that his ownership is still that high. But, yes, you're right, there will be a huge move to get him in.

Very solid.....may need Aguero next week though

Eriksen and Ade is too much Spurs exposure.
Would go for Lallana over Eriksen or JRod over Ade. Saints has great fixtures

If it were me, I'd consider downgrading Mutch to one of the 4.2 cheapos and upgrading one of the three cheap defenders. The reason being that you are never going to intentionally choose to play Mutch over any of those midfield/attacking players. He's essentially just a backup bench warmer in case someone gets injured. However you will be playing at least one of those three cheap defenders every week.

If you can afford someone like Clyne instead of Turner that makes a big difference in my opinion - Cardiff are still one of the worst defences in the league while Southampton have a great run.

please explain your point?

His history is better than yours.

are you saying his previous seasons have been crap? if so, big deal... so many people have breakout seasons every year, whats the big deal?

And?

So what if Luk/Ramsey/yaya kept scoring and their cost kept rising. The 2 go hand in hand anyway.He was lucky. We weren't.

Move on.

This guy is far from casual.......solid history and FFS user.

A punt on Bony is fair enough at 7.3 a punt on RVP at 13.6 before he's played a whole different risk I think Koflok.
Could be forced to dig yourself out of a hole or trench in your case. 🙂

the second - easily

Kompany and Ade.......with Lalllana somewhere in the mids
