Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    People doing mata to fabregas are missing the opportunity imo. I agree with giggs boson, aguero for gw3 looks too good to ignore. I'm going to be saving a transfer. Currently planning dzeko and Costa to aguero and pelle. Don't go chasin waterfalls.

        I wouldn't. Aguero is in a class of his own. Pelle will do well with those fixtures.

          I would as well mate. Not only because Aguero is class, but because Pellegrini will field him every opportunity he can.

      schurrle would be awesome but will still wait for a guarantee of starts, even if he rises 0.5mil, if he starts it would still be a bargain. I would go tadic at the moment just because he looked good and will start every match

    Can I get some advice on this one... How crucial is a Chelsea mid. I could take a 8 point hit to ship out young and one of my 2x Chelsea defs to bring him but is it worth it. If not I'd probably shape the team around getting aguero in by gw4 in which case wouldn't be able to for fab in anyway

    Someone set off a lightbulb in my head. Need to lose Jovetic, yet none of the similar priced forwards are up to it.
    Also Mata will drop. Could kill two birds with one stone by gettig Aguero and downgrading Mata to a cheaper mid. Could be worth considering

    Here is my take on Fabregas.

    He is 9.0, like Silva. Like Silva, he will rarely score more than 7 goals. He has once scored 15, but I think that 6 of those were penalties. One of you will correct this, I am sure.

    I am not paying more than I would for Shit when he wants, unless I can be reasonably assured of more than 7 goals.

      Depends on how many defenders you had playing you have to have at least 3 so if one of your starters was injured/not playing and another on the bench did likewise it'd take Chester even as 3rd choice sub. Lucky for you might I add!

      Looked very encouraging in what was a tough ask. He didn't have much support, but he held the ball up well and ran his heart out. Didn't get much of a survey on his finishing, though his few shots were off target. However, I was happy with his display and am hopeful that he will shine with support against lesser opposition.

    So ive started with 3 big hitters upfront fully aware that this year there were loads of options in midfield. Basically cause i like no forward below 10.5 and i looked at the price list and saw a lot of potential midfield bargains ie Siggy(worked), Soton mid, Young(huge fail), Puncheon, Henderson etc.. FAbregas, Sterling etc are soooo temptin though. Should i admit i may have made a mistake and just switch to a heavy mid with a hit? or stick to my guns and play with 3 big guys upfront and trust the likes of Henderson/JWP/Puncheon etc for that 4th spot in midfield?

Im aiming towards a similar midfield(eriksen over mata and jwp over marney). it should perform ok. it's basically just one spot that is a problem cause siggy can be played every week. do you have faith in the likes of Hendo and the 6 and below crowd is the question. if you do then by all means go ahead. no forward below 10.5 actually stands out atm. once one does i may switch

          If you look at my front 3, I will pull out the worst performing one (likely Sturridge / Rooney) if I can find a decent 7 - 9 alternative.

          And upgrade Henderson to a top midfielder.

          This would be the best option?

      I don't think you should knee-jerk just yet.

      Impressive as Fab and Chelsea were in the 1st half they really took their foot off the gas when they were 2 goals up. This tells me they aren't looking to score hatfuls of goals.
      I think JWP looked good and he's semi OOP and has a great run of fixtures - I'd hold on to him
      Sterling, yeah, I've got him but if I didn't I'd be getting him, but next couple of fixtures aren't so friendly so you might be able to wait
      Young - get rid!
      Puncheon... hmmm, dunno. Personally I think there're better options out there
      Hendo - I think he'll prove to be a bargain by the end of the year, but there'll be plenty of weeks where he does your nut in.

      Up top? Your big boys are presumably Rooney, Studge and Costa. Based on my Chelsea comments above, although Costa looked good and should've had a pen and no yellow (so maybe 13 pts with 3 bonus, instead of 6), I'll probably try to swap him for Aguero next week some time. But, there are loads of bargains out there too, I'm not sure 3 heavy hitters is essential.

      3-5-2 or 3-4-3 was the big argument before the season started, I'm not sure the answer is any clearer after GW!

    Should I do Mata > Fab? Fab looks like his price will rise today. Mata still not halfway there, but could drop by the time GW2 comes around.

    Another thought is that I already have Costa, which should be good to receive all the passes from midfield and involved in the attacks?

    I'm sticking with Dzeko for now. Unless Aguero goes on a mental run and somehow stays injury free for 3-4 games I'm not falling for it.

    GW3 they have Stoke, a team they usually struggle to break down. Tough fixtures after that. I feel like when you pay 12m you want to captain him close to every week

    People saying they are waiting before they bring in players like Cesc and Sterling and are giving Mata more time until GW 4 need to remember that we have a 2 week break between GW 3 and 4. GW 4 only takes place on 14 Sept. That is nearly a month away.
