I'm vexed again......

Foster (Beg)
Terry, Luiz, Walker, Baines
Kuyt, Maxi, Barton, N'Zog
RVP, Drogs

(VDV, Huth, Odem)

I have a 5 point lead over arch mini-league rival who has already taken an 8 point hit, but unsure whether to do:

a) VDV to Modric or Adam with no hit
b) Luiz to Ward and Odem to Berbs (4 pointer)
c) VDV to Modric and Odem to Berbs (4 pointer)

(and bench Barton in every case)

Biggest problem is that if Luiz doesn't play then I can only field ten men.

What would you do in my position? I'm pretty stumped.

    I don't know what he did but he has a hell of a lot more money in the bank now, so maybe Drogba or RVP to Fletcher and Lampard and Luiz to Adam and a sun5M defender.
    
    I don't want to dwell on his team to much, but last week it was:
    
    Al Habsi (Begovic)
    Baines, Hangeland, Parnaby
    Hitz, N'Zog, Lamps, Yaya
    Ba, Drogba, RVP
    
    (Huth, A Johnson, Luiz)
    
    I could have done without his Hangeland score, but he seems to be keen on getting the cheaper players in, judging by his transfers.
    
    Does that help?

  I'd do C. He probably dropped the 2 West Hams and Drogba and brought in Berbatov and Tevez plus Modric or Adams.

    Possibly, Blauriecon.
    
    Isn't the team value and money in the bank what he has after he's made his transfers though? Sounds like a noob question but I thought that it was, in which case he's bought in some cheapies rather than Tevez and Berbs. Pretty sure he only had about 3M in the bank last week.
    
    Or is there a simple way to check what he had in the bank last week?

  C looks good. Don't worry about your rival. Your the one ahead, play the safe picks and make him scrounge around for risky differentials.
  
  Would probably prefer Tevez, but you probably don't have the money unless you ditch Drogba.

    Thanks all. Not over-worried about what my rival has done since it's too close to call, so in this case I'll go for C since I reckon it will maximise my points.
    
    Berba is probably a disaster waiting to happen, but at least he can score big at home, whereas Tevez away....

I am 2 points behind my league leader and have a number of players out. Am not a fan of taking a trading hit but possibly needs must at this time. Can anyone offer any suggestion on my best options. Am thinking VDV>N'Zogbia and Odem>Berbatov and hoping Berba pulls in another boat load of points against B'Pool. Suggestions please.

I have 1.9 million in the bank

Hart at 6.8

love it. my rival had 2 freebies and made 4 transfers already for an 8 pt hit. I have a ~50 pt lead, so it gives me more room to make changes. Other alternative is to only do 2 transfers and start the week with a 4pt lead, but that's no fun!

SAF didn't mention Nani in his press interview, but said that Berbs would be playing.

nine pt lead and rival has made three changes, whats he done?? his team:
Foster
Luiz/Hangeland/Elmo
Adam/Yaya/Silva/Nani/Kuyt
Rodellaga/RVP
Gomes, Hernandez, Huth Clichy

Berbs I reckon is in but cant see how he has got tevez in (if he has) with only3.5 in bank. Gives me 17 pt lead and can probably afford to take one hit myself now

14 years, 6 months ago
My rival is 15 points behind plus his 4 point hit. He did 2 transfers before the city game (so think its unlikely he bought tevez)

Not sure who he bought but he has 0 in bank so pretty sure he didn't sell rvp

My 1 transfer will bring in berbatov... not sure whether to captain him or rvp (since I'm not 100% sure if he has berbatov and don't want to add differentials!)

So... rvp is the safe bet, right?

Hi guys, I've been trying to get some sound advice on what transfers to make/not to make this week. Chasing down my brother in my mini league and have gotten to 2nd (from a low of 23rd in Nov), 15 points behind him, and was very unsure what to do as didn't want to take hit and in process match up with what he was gonna do. Anyway, got thrown a bit of a bone last night, as my bro is in Spain and needs me to do his transfers for him, which are Roonpig to Tevez and VDV to Nani (no hit as he has 2 transfers this week)....

Now, do I do.....
a) Sturridge to Berb
b) Hoillett and Nani to Berb and ManU midfielder, maybe Fletcher (4 point hit)
c) get one decent defender in for Luiz to be sure I have 3 to play

I'd really appreciate some advice, haven't asked too much before but it's the last week and really want to catch him.

Cheers

Guys,should I stick with this team:

Foster,(Al-Habsi),
Coleman,Simpson,Djourou,(Luiz,Jiranek),
N’Zog,Kuyt,Adam,Barton,Lampard,
Tevez(C),RVP.(Odemwingie)(3.4 in bank)

Or do either:

A) Lampard->Nani for a 4 pt. hit.

OR

B) Lampard->Nani and Odem->Berba for an 8 pt. hit??

Wanted to do just Odem->Berba for -4 but I had exact money in the bank for that.But with Berba unexpectedly going up in price I can't do that move anymore.

        depending on your league position if you're chasing a bit of a lead i'd do Ode to Berb and Barton to another ManU midfielder (Fletcher, Scoles, Gibbo maybe). I'm pretty much in same boat (see post above), but think Berb has become a must now as he'll be a big differential to my brother...

      well, fantasy baseball is a bit much, 162 games a year. you have to keep track of everything. injuries/rotation and most importantly slumps.
      
      if a player slumps there aren't any points there. i did it one season and it's almost impossible unless you watch every game, anyway its a month and a half into the season already 🙂

  I'd only take hits for definite (or close to definite) non starters, so....
  
  Vidic - Dawson....maybe
  Lamps - Modric....not for me
  Sturr & Hern - Tevez & Berb....maybe, but just Hern to Berb for me

        I have done 77 transfers and I thought that was a lot, although you have not taken 96 hits Jayzico, as you do get a freebie every week.
        
        This is my first year and I will certainly be taking less hits next year, although will still be making plenty. I have learnt that hits are fine in the right situation and many of mine have been very successful, bringing in Nzogbia and Adam last week, for example. However, I have definitely wasted at least 40 points. I sort of knew it at the time but having seen a whole season play out I have realised the 40 points equates to quite a big difference in ranking.

        Well Kolarov looks likely to start now with Zabadabba injured. So you may as well keep him in what might be a free scoring game v BOL.

        Dawson in for Kolarov + my £1.8m in bank = £0
        
        If I sell Luiz for Dawson, no cash issues.
        
        If I dont change my defence to pay for the bebra trade (and flog vdv) my back 3 is this...
        
        Smalling, Luiz, Kolarov (Simpson, Coleman)
        
        Its too dodgy.
        
        I can still play a mid of Silva, Adam, Lamps, Nzog (VDV).

        Some might argue that just bringing in Berbatov is a risk in itself.
        
        Hernandez and VDV are your priorities. One out, one parkbenched.

        Smalling and Luiz could well start especially Smalling. Kolarov as stated. Simpson gives you decent cs opportunities and Coleman looks a certain starter now with a few out in the EVR midpark. See the team news above.

  Mornin. I have the same choices; VdV and Ronney doubts. I have Maxi - last week he scored poor for first time for months. I reckon he'll do well today and I may captn him. And I reckon Tevez for Rooney. Adam will be up for it and when he's motivated he's on fire, already in my team and probably second choice for captn.

Attackers for this week:

Kuyt, Lampard, N'Zogbia, Adam, VDV
Rooney, Van Persie, Odemwinge

Am trying to hold off a 20 points lead, thinking this is a simple case of the following for a 4 point hit:

Rooney -> Berbs
Odem -> Tevez

Any other transfers worth considering in place of the above?

Luiz - will he play?
A.Cole
Vidic - rested?

Modric
Yaya - rested?
VDV - out!
Dempsey

RVP
Odem - out!
Suarez

Bench:Shawcross, Collocini, Meireles
Think Im gonna take VDV out, replace him with N'Zog. Put Vidic, odem and Shawcross on the bench.
Im 86 points ahead at the top in my league but ya never know what could happen. And I dont think some of the lads like it because im a girl LOL!

Lads, need a last bit of advice / reassurance.

Defending a 14 point lead with a team of

Foster

Luiz Zabalette Hangeland

Kuyt Lamps Yaya O'Hara

Berb(c) RVP Taylor fletcher

Subs: Jarvis, R.Johnson, Coleman

Already taking a 4 point hit to bring in Fletch and Berb -> Drogs and Odem.

My rivals team is:

Sczeny

Vidic Samba Hangeland

Maxi VDV Yaya Nani

RVP Hern Carroll

Subs:Luiz Givent Wilshere

I reckon he will make only one free sub, is it worth me getting in anyone else, or leave my team the way it is? 200 bricker on the line
