I've been thinking about the advice I gave here and might look into getting Dawson in myself for the reasons I've given. All my defenders seem fairly sure of their places so sticking in Dawson isn't much of a risk as I can't see him coming on late in games, as I said 90 minutes or nothing.

Right, I'm going to say something now.

When you first joined, I got annoyed by certain posts and wrote you off as someone that was more interested in taking the piss than contributing.

I was wrong about that and I apologize. You're actually one of the better contributors, and probably my "go to" poster for all things Spurs.

Maybe you've put a gypsy curse on me but I wanted to get that out of the way. :pac:

Agreed, the Dawson pick has been very well reasoned!

The injury to Luiz is allowing me to change to Evra. Should I make this transfer before the price rise or go for Rafael?

F**K. Might have to take a points hit now.

If Luiz is out then my only sub defenders are Demel and Harte. Both probable 1 or 2 pointers, possibly worse. Demel was at fault for most of Arsenals goals last week so might even be dropped. I was planning on bringing in a City/United defender next week anyway so might be worth the hit now. If they keep a CS then I'll have already made my money back on the transfer, if not then at least I'm a transsfer ahead of where I was.

So Luiz £6.6m out (I already have £1m in the bank) and bring in

Clichy £5.6/Nastastic £5.6
Rafael £6.0/Evra £7.1

I'm thinking Clichy, more chance of goal/assist points. If Zabaleta was guaranteed a game he would be the obvious replacement. I can wait a few days on this though, only Evra is at risk of moving.

Going to do the same myself luiz out Zab nastasic or clichy in will wait till the city teams announced Tues night. Half pleased if Luiz is injured as was considering getting rid anyway. It also makes lampard a bit more valuable another potential target.

The Boards.ie bandwagon defender curse hits again.

First Baines, then Enrique, now Luiz.

Watch that Dawson doesn't reach bandwagon status lads!

Indeed,glad now i shipped Luiz for Zab last and got my clean sheet as well.
Hopefully Zab misses Stoke game and plays the league game next week

roryc

Haha

I took one 4 point hit this season and it ended up costing me 16 points. Not exactly a good strike rate is it.

If I do the above transfer I would half expect Clichy to get sent off and Harte to score.

Steven81

Was thinking of Zabaleta but with him possibly missing the next game am looking at Vidic, will be guaranteed his place i think and rested for cup games. both at same price. I think Rafael will be rotated more.

Swiper the fox

I'm really touched by Futureguys comments above:o. When I started contributing to this forum I mistakingly assumed that banter would be what it thrived on and for a long time I avoided RVP and occasionally gloated when things didn't go his way, particularly since Suarez was my main man and scoring every week, I now realise it's a more mature forum but secretly I'm always delighted when someone I don't have doesn't perform as expected(I'm thinking Ba last week, Suarez to a lesser extent, Fellaini etc, this is what keeps it interesting. I'm thinking of dumping Michu for that very reason, probably crazy but no way he can match his returns from earlier on and I'm a bit sick of everyone having the same few players.

The Luiz thing is a blow for me now, I can't have that much money invested in defence and sitting on the bench but I've already decided to bring Bale back instead of Walcott. I've kept quiet on people here stating that Bale is out of form as I don't need to get into that argument but the facts as I see them is that Bale is in fine form, multiple(good) shots on target in every game, bonus points for all round performance, nobody will score every week but no player in the league except RVP has the same ability to win games by himself and the same potential for big points hauls regularly, he has been very unlucky:pac: not to score at least 2 goals in the last 2 games and I'd be very surprised if he doesn't score 3 in the next 4 games, probably more.

Now, who to bring in for Luiz?

not sure on vidic hasnt really strung a series of games together in a long time. I actually think J Evans is at this stage is fergies no 1 CB. If vidic stays fit I could also see him being rested either side of the CL games

MaxPower89

Have 2 frees, contemplating the following:

Suarez and Michu out.

Feilini and Aguero(will he even play? I think he will) in.

Anyone else thinking along these lines or is this plain silly? I have made little on Suarez but I would have to go for DeGuzman if I was to go back to a Swansea player most likely.

SlickRic

i just don't know why anyone would get rid of Michu.

boredom is not a reason.

I haven't decided to do so yet and will wait another gameweek at least, it's a gamble of course but I can't see him maintaining the kind of output he's had till now, he's a very good player but has been overachieving IMO. It'll cost me .5m to do it so I'll probably bottle it in any case, it's no harm taking a risk from time to time. With people talking of Bale's poor form it's interesting that Michu has only scored once in his last 6 EPL games and that was before christmas.

Is there anyone posting here who doesn't have Michu?

Santi101

Bale costs almost 10m tbf.

I'd be more worried about Fellaini and not Michu tbh. Fellaini definitely wont match his goal tally from the first half, Michu probably not too but I'd fancy him to outscore Fellaini. He is a good finisher and a natural around the box. Fellaini looks more unorthodox.

I'll be watching Fellaini in the next few games where you'd expect something from him.

There are actually quite a few players capable of big pts hauls.

I thought Bale was very average against United, nullified bar one or two shots from distance.

Slattsy

Bale is one player i wont be going near for the rest of the season. Im hoping everyone in the boards.ie top 50 keep playing him, cos im the train coming behind ya's

I have fellaini in now as his next 2 games are at home to west brom and villa (not sure in which order),

after those 2 games i'll decide then if i should stick with fellaini/pog for another while or switch fellaini to marveaux and get in a better 3rd striker Fletcher/defoe/berbatov

Not his best game on sunday but De Gea made a fantastic save from him and was unlucky with at least one other shot which went just over, Julio Cesar for QPR had the game of his life the week before, my point is that just because a player(in this case Bale but Michu might be the same) doesn't score for two games in a row doesn't mean he's off form, sometimes they go in sometimes they don't.

FutureGuy

BUY MICHU. KEEP MICHU. NEVER SELL MICHU.

He'll go to Arsenal and he'll get 2. He'll go to OT and he'll get 1. He can score against absolutely anyone.

Even at 8.3m he is a steal.

Santi101

I'm thinking Bale back in for the Norwich game and then I might go back to Walcott for Stoke at home where I think he can outscore Bale(WBA away).

Other changes for me might be Fellaini out in a few weeks, Shawcross out for Zabaleta, then maybe cheaper Stoke cover as a squad option.

Hogey007

Bale might pick up a few bonus points for making 3 saves too as the season goes on

the good and rare thing about this gameweek is that the deadline closes at 7:30 on tuesday so you'll know who is starting for city tuesday night before the deadline closes, no point in making a transfer until you see who is starting tuesday night.

Yes I will be monitoring Fellaini stats very closely for the next two home games. If his average position is deeper, with low shots (especially shots inside the box) I will def be letting him go.

The sight of him using all his energy racing back to help the defense against Southampton was not pleasant!

I just hope Moyes plays him off Jellyfish for these two games

Santi101

Aguero's the best City striker but Dzeko is a decent option right now IMO. Good price.

I wont be touching any City forwards for the rest of the season. I play 3 forwards and prefer to know that they will all play more often than not.

Lemlin

Ice87 wrote: »

The only City striker I would have is Aguero.

When fit, he'll play 90% of the time. City's desired strike force is always Aguero + Another.

Santi101

Aguero's Citys main man for sure. Not having a great season though, not sure I'd like spending the guts of 11m on him, he has 8 goals but hasnt really got going.

City's fixtures til the end of the season arent terrible though.

i have dzeko but i'd be extra wary of him right now. he's missed a lot of sitters in the last 2 games. he's great when starting and in form though, a good target man.

Joeyjoejoe43

Defoe and Marveaux or Lampard and Pog?? Pog and Marveaux would be spending most of their time on the bench.. So it boils down to Lampard vs Defoe... I am leaning towards Lamps as he is penalty taker, is chasing top goal scorer record and gets 5 points for goals.. The only thing is I already have Mata, so I would be doubling up on Chelsea, so if they dont score, that'll really dent a gameweek..

Thoughts?

Dunno about that now. Weigh each player on their merits. If Tottenham don't score Defoe will hurt you just as much as Lampard will if Chelsea don't. You already have Mata in your team so he isn't a consideration that you can do anything about.

shadowcomplex

Zabaletta or Rafael

That's not entirely true, as I am wildcarding... It's a tough one to call, as I fancy Defoe to bang a few in soon, he goes in drips and drabs..Plan would be to sell him then after his hot streak.. But Lampard offers great value as well if he is on the pitch..

I can see ade taking defoes place when back from Africa nations . With dempsey playing just off ade . Spurs haven't really had bale Lennon dempsey ade defoe all fully fit at the same time i feel defoe will be the odd man out there. Lampard has 3 great fixtures coming up he's playing deeper than in years gone by but still has an eye for a goal plus penos

Liam O

Might go for Dzeko and Aguero for 2 weeks and after that make a decision on Sturridge or Suarez for one of them, Suarez is capable of scoring against anyone though, but the other 2 play for a much better attacking team when they get into the groove.

El Horseboxo

Mine will most likely be Podolski out for Dzeko or maybe Aguero. Gonna wait for the City lineup on Tuesday first. Or i might go with a one week punt as i'll wildcard next week.

darego

will sturridge start every week or will sterling etc be rotated with him? i want to do ba > sturridge soon but no point if sturridge is as much as a rotation risk as ba as that is the only reason i want rid of ba

100 % agree sturridge will start every game

Whats the rest of your team like, that seems like a massive amount of money spent on defense!!!

Bale, Puncheon, Mata, Walcott, Guthrie
Podolski, RVP, Sturridge

I would think that having 2 pricey defenders is enough, it would allow you to upgrade Puncheon/Guthrie to a better midfield option! Thats just my opinion though, all my defenders are relatively cheap bar gibbs! Ill probably transfer him out for Zab myself and i plan to change Jussi for either cech or de gea! That will do me defensively! There are too few CS being kept this season for me to justify so much money spent in defense!

If you are adamant on making the move i would have to think Evra was the best bet at the moment but Rafael could be well worth a punt for 1mil less!
