Right lads, Gorkss out for which of the following:

Nastasic, Sagna, Mertesacker, Caulker?

arsenal have a nice run of fixtures for next 4 or 5 games, i'd go for mertesacker or sagna.

Hogey007

seriously thinking of putting rooney in for crouch or fletcher (want rid of them both) i can afford it but then can't afford to put bale back in.

i already have rvp so didn't want to double up on united strikers but united's fixtures are decent now and rooney has a habit of going on spurts of scoring once he gets a couple.

edit: i can't afford rooney without taking a 4 point hit to transfer out baines so i think i'll leave the rooney transfer for now. would like to give baines a few more weeks, i think he has been incredibly unlucky, especially against norwich.

so now back to the drawing board as to who to replace crouch or fletcher with, i have 3.5 in the bank but would like to keep some of that to get bale back in. i'll get berbatov in for one of them but don't mind leaving that a week or two until his fixtures turn nice. I was thinking defoe for the other spot but some of you are talking me out of it. tevez, too much of a rotation risk, might have a look at ba tomorrow night if he plays. or would it be worth just putting in a cheap striker like carlton cole who's guaranteed a game?

Looking at Suarez and Fellaini in for Mata and Tevez. Have 2 freebies so seems to makes sense

yeah i'd go for that, fellaini is a must and liverpool's next fixtures are nice, villa and fulham at home and qpr away in the next 4 games (other game is tricky away to stoke i think)

Fizman

Lambert -> Suarez for me. No immediate danger in either of them changing in price anytime soon so will probably hold off for a few days just in case.

jolim24601

I'm in a sort of crucial period. 50 points down from being 1st in my league and jumping through hoops to justify not having RVP in my team while everyone else does.

Got a few weeks until the January wildcard opens up, next gw I'm looking at at least Mata, Bertrand, Clyne, and Bale out.

I don't have Fellaini, Suarez, or Berbatov and my defense is in shambles. Never put in any Stoke defenders which minimized my gains in the past few weeks. Opted for Enrique and Jonny Evans which is proving to be an ambivalent situation.

Luckily I've been making good progress with Tevez and Ba up top and I just put in Rooney which turned out to be a decent decision. I don't agree with everyone who's trying to take Tevez out. He's staying in my team the whole season barring injury. The man's on a mission people and the fact that he's not a cemented starter is just fuel to his fire. 200+ season without a doubt and with a gorgeous price tag to boot. I imagine only Bale and/or Mata will be able to duplicate a 200/9-10 price range.

BroLo

Is Enrique injured?

Didn't catch anything this weekend and he only played 26 minutes, so any word on him?

Would Enrique -> Shawcross be a good move?

Where has Rooney been playing of late? Last I heard he was playing a deep, closer to attacking midfielder role? Worth RVP -> Rooney?

orkkukunkku

Bale to Walcot if fit

or

Bale to Depsey?

Is it worth point hit? It seems that I dont get 11 players on pitch in coming gw.

Bego
Enrique-Ridgewell- Cuellar
Mata- Fellaini- Michu- Puncheon
Suarez- Tevez- Rvp

bench: Bale, Demel, clyne

Puncheon, Clyne and Mata doesnt have game and Bale is injured.

0 Ft ja 0.0 in the bank

Camo22

I got Defoe for Fletcher, a bit worried now though. Suarez, RVP and Defoe up front.

I was thinking of captaining Defoe as everyone will have RVP and need to make up ground in my league...

Any thoughts on Captains?

Tight hamstring. Ambiguous response.

Necronomicon

Trying to decide whether or not to sell Bale until he gets back. I only got him in last week, so I don't think I'd be buying him back in at a loss when he's fit again (though haven't checked the figures).

If I do, I'm thinking either another Spurs midfielder (probably Dempsey) or a United midfielder for the game against Sunderland. They're probably the most attractive fixtures for this GW.

keane2097

After threatening to do it for weeks the time has finally come for me to ship out Ashley Cole. I also want to get rid of Fletcher again (have two free transfers).

I'm between two minds about which way to go with it - either a cut price defender like Shorey and Tevez in for Fletcher or else Gibbs/Nastasic and Berbatov.

Really don't see the point of paying over 5m for a defender. Shorey/Tevez for me all the way.

S.M.B.

Maybe I'm being too hasty in brining Suarez in for Tevez.

Has anyone considered the RVP to Rooney move?

SlickRic

it's too early to do anything this gameweek IMO.

i've no idea yet if Bale will be fit. although unlikely, he's a bit of a freak.

Walcott's also due back, but we won't know for sure until later in the week.

no clue if Evans will be fit after coming off early yesterday, or if United defenders will just be rested, so I may keep Smalling for a week.

this week will most definitely be a Friday transfer, although my kneejerk Monday transfer last week of Wisdom

i have.

but at the moment, i do have enough money to keep RVP and it not affect elsewhere too much, and it's not like he's going to stop scoring.

if i needed the extra money, i'd seriously think about it though.

Have thought about it a little but I'd only be doing it to strengthen my defence really as my MF is pretty stacked already so probably not worth it.

I think Tevez's points to price and minutes ratio very much outweighs the rotation risk he poses, and I don't even have him in my team.

Rooney being on penos makes it one to consider but Im going to stick with RVP. Just looking at the league table today utd have scored 40 goals in 16 games ten more than any other team in the league. There could be an argument for having the two of them.

i could have both of them (just) if i do Mata and Fletcher to Kacaniclik and Rooney (for a hit)

United's fixtures are very tasty

As sated earlier, a strikeforce including Rooney and RVP is incredibly tempting to me for the next few weeks. I'm also planning to get in that boy Rafael.

The only thing that is stopping me from pulling the trigger on Rooney is Kagawa's immiment return. If he can keep fit, he will be a great player for United and I might bring in Kagawa instead of Rooney.

As you can see, I'm going to be putting my chips on United.

jolim24601

Rafael has been given so much license to roam forward that he'd be a necessity if Man U were actually keeping any clean-sheets. I love Evra this year too though he's been in such great form and I think he's improved with the captain's armband.

Other high-priced defenders like Vertonghen and Vermaelen I'm staying away from with a 10 foot pole but Baines and one of the regular Chelsea defenders look mighty tempting. Does anyone know anything about Cahill's chances of remaining a starter when Terry comes back?

manual_man

no guarantee Kagawa will get his game. they got him before they got Rvp, with Rvp there now Rooney is playing in the position Kagawa was bought for. bit unlucky for Kagawa but i don't really see where he's gonna fit in, it's possible he could be put in centre midfield or on the wing but i don't think either really suit him

Terry would appear more likely to get regular playing time alongside Luiz, personally I'm considering Terry and Vidic for my defence soon enough

roryc

Will be closely watching Berbs and Fletch in their respective games, my most likely swap is still bringing the crazy Bulgarian back.

Hopefully he plays well tonight and still drops in price (currently at 97%), could do with saving some cash seeing as Bale keeps losing value. Due to drop AGAIN tonight but I can't get rid of him, it seems there's a chance of him playing this weekend, gone to orange (50%) on FF.

cardwizzard

Bale at -219%, think he might go down .2 this week.

keane2097

Bale's price dropping only really matters if you're going to sell him anyway right?

manual_man

keane2097 wrote: »

well yes, obviously... i don't have him but i'm happy to hold off for a while. he's touch and go for the weekend, and after that they have Stoke and then Villa away. you wouldn't expect a whole load of goals in either. add to that the fact he's one booking away from a suspension. Reading at home is the next potential for big points imo, but that's a good few weeks away yet

Liam O

Gone for Cazorla>Snodgrass and Le Fondre>Giroud. Pretty happy with it as It's a huge improvement while keeping that Arsenal cover for their fixtures.

Yeah, the penalty situation is what's tempting me. Add to that the January wild card which gives you an easy solution of reverting back to RVP should the decision back fire and it becomes even more tempting.

I agree with the "no need to make the change unless you can find a worthwhile use for the cash saved" advice though.

Will see how Berbs gets on tonight and make a decision later.

orkkukunkku

Really need help.

a) Bale->Walcot
b) Bale-> Dempsey

Already have michu, fellaini, mata, puncheon

q2ice

RVP is a beast. Always a threat for a goal.

I got him in as soon as Man Utd signed him at £13.0 million
If I was to get rid of him now it would need to be a permanent move as I would £13.4 million for him meaning I would have to find £0.4 from elsewhere to get him back in.

On a different note. one thing I don't like is that a player needs to go up 0.2 for you to get a benefit of 0.1. however if the player goes down by 0.2 then you get the full hit - 0.2. The same rule should be applied for both increases and decreases. Feels like you get punished both ways .

I actually prefer that it's set up that way. It's makes it more challenging. If it increased at the same rate as the decrease then everyone would have ridiculously high-valued squads by xmas and there would be little or no difference between most squads.

km79

Anyone looking at Ashley young ....

jolim24601

Young or Valencia might be worthwhile moves very soon.

I would do Bale ---> Dempsey or possibly Cazorla. Or I would keep Bale and monitor Walcott for a week or two.

Hogey007

thoughts on enrique and fletcher to cameron and rooney?? for a 4 point hit

I already have RVP.

i can only afford it tonight before rooney increases, and have begovic but no other stoke defenders.

i'm a bit skeptical because i want to swap crouch to berbatov soon and want to get bale back in for cazorla but would have 0.0 in the bank if i do this so couldn't afford either.

Necronomicon

With Bale rated 50-50 I might not transfer him out after all. The plan was always to get him back in when he returned - think I'd be better served playing Sterling against Villa and having a double transfer next week with Bale presumably okay for the Stoke fixture. Fwiw I had been thinking either Dempsey or Ashley Young (mostly for the Sunderland fixture) as the stop-gap measure.

There are NO price freezes this year!

Bale can keep dropping, I'm holding on to him.

More important though is for Berbatov to drop tonight...

daithijjj

Id rather live like a lion for one day than a lamb for one hundred. Im going for the Fletch to Roonpig move (yea, i got the cash), doubling up on Utd forwards. Roonpig will go up by .2 before Sat at least.

Top 50 in boards, time to push on or implode :pac:

alchemist33

Fletch to Suarez, leaving me a RVP, Tevez, Suarez front line.

Not my toughest decision.
