Nah I'm out! I've dropped from 10k to 20k in the space of a couple of days, solely down to RVP!! I hate him. But secretly I love him... I was patting myself on the back thinking getting rid of him was a good decision but the last week have proven how wrong it was. People that captained him the last three weeks made 66 points. My captains in the same period made me 20!

If I grind on as I currently am I win almost certainly be ending the season somewhere between 10k and 25k, which won;t make any difference to any league I'm in. I'm now 40 points off 10k and this is a massive hill to climb over the next few weeks through normal play, so instead I'll be going all for nothing with some wild captaincy choices and points hits galore so I'm as likely to finish outside the top 50k as I am to crack the top 10k

At least it will be fun for the last few weeks!

Spurs, Chelsea and City all with super fixtures this week and a DGW. 12-16 point hit this week but pick the obvious captain.

I'm not even joking.

Fortune favours the bold.

Ill be keeping van persie for the last 4 GWs but wont be captaining him for fear of rotation and utd taking their foot off the gas. Also last night was the first time in a long time utd put on a convincing attacking display(like the first half of the season).

Yeah I think I will keep him too, until I see him rested or rotated with my own eyes (not media speculation etc, I remember that comment from Fergie saying whole squad will be used etc which people read into that RVP will be rotated!).

SLickRic made great post on RVP though, and I have looked into possible transfers but am unable to see any! With Tevez replacing Suarez in my team who is there to bring in for RVP?

If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear as I have no idea!!

Yeah have looked at Defoe and Aguero but look at the last 6 games of these guys.

I am a type of player that needs evidence of fitness (eg Tevez has played 90 mins in all of last 5 games).

I could understand people taking a punt on these guys though...

Hogey007

i was going to leave my suarez 'out' transfer until the weekend but with tevez due to rise in price tonight i went with my instinct and picked him, while aguero is the better of the 2 i think like most his lack of gametime concerns me. And also i think of the 2 tevez is more likely to get more gametime in the dgw. there's a good chance city will be cruising by half time in the final and may bring on dzeko after 60 minutes or so.

Anyway, i just did the transfer now to get it over and done with, will save me agonising all week on if i should get aguero/ba/kone/defoe/tevez, it's done now.
I think the majority will go with tevez and they could destroy west ham so for peace of mind i've went with him too.

that's my 2 FT's of the week done, caz to mata and suarez to tevez.
i plan on doing evra to dawson/vertonghen next week and fellaini to hazard leaving me with 7 dgw players at a 4 point hit.

Yep did it last night too. The only choice really:

1. Everyone is doing it (see Total FPL transfers)
2. Tevez is forth highest scoring striker despite heavy rotation.
3. He has played 90 mins in last 5 games and scored 4 goals in last 7.
4. Great fixture this week so makes no sense holding off for GW36 (in which he prob won't get 180 mins anyway)
5. Great option for captain this week
6. Price rise too as you said

can't argue with any of those, my thoughts exactly for bringing him in. the extra cash saved over aguero might just be able to see me squeeze vertonghen into my team too.

I brought in Tevez and Bale for Santi and Suarez this week. I'm joint top of my main league now after an average week despite having RVP as captain.

My rival has dropped the ball though as he only has 2 DGW players at the moment so I'm still confident of winning as I'm planning on having 9 DGW players for a 4 point hit. I'll be bringing in Defoe or Kone next week so I'll be keeping an eye on them.

Does anyone know if you win anything for winning the off the ball league?

I won it before and got nothing.

donglen

Who to transfer in for Suarez? Already have RVP and Tevez.

Thinking Defoe, will he start before Ade?

moreau

Yeah maybe Defoe but fitness doubt as you say

Do you have any dead wood in midfield?

You could bring in Kone and upgrade a midfielder with DGW in mind

RVP,tevez,Kone isn't bad IMO, with a new big hitter in midfield?

GetWithIt

Mulling over various options for getting Bale back in advance of the DGW.

Cazorla / Jussi > Bale / Robles (Wigan)
Cazorla / Lambert > Bale / Lukaku
Cazorla / Fellaini > Bale / Any Suggestions

Based on the numbers as much as anything. Aiming for 8 DGW players so somewhat constrained on who I can sell. Anyone know if Robles is genuinely number 1 now? Have Begovic as my 2nd GK.

Begovic
Luiz Baines Davies (Swansea)
Michu Mata Fellaini Cazorla
Lambert VP Sturridge
Jussi Maloney Clyne Harte

richieffff

Would Vertongen and Dawnson be overkill in Spurs defence?
Have Zab, Sagna, Dawson, Samba (Would be transferred) and Harte.

Also Mata or Hazard? (For Fellaini)

Have two free transfers, figured when I do santi and Suarez to bale and tevez that I'd have around .5 left over so ill do that on Friday night, no rush on the money side at this part of the season.

If it were any other Spurs defender it probably would be overkill as they've been not been up up to much defensively, plus they're playing Chelsea in the second game which is likely to be a write off in terms of clean sheets. Maybe a Wigan or West Brom guy could be an option also.

I'd definitely get in one of Mata / Hazard if you haven't already, especially if Fellaini isn't playing his usual advanced role.

Kerrydude1981

No free transfers so thinking

Saurez and Sissoko out Bale and Tevez in for a 4 point hit

What do ye think?

my God, yes.

SlickRic

anyone with Suarez, this is your chance to, unreservedly, sort out your team for the last few weeks really.

a 4 point hit is fúck all in those circumstances.

basically...

if you have Suarez, don't be at all scared to take points hits. especially on DGW players. you'll make it back easy by the end of the season bar injury.

absolute no-brainer.

I dont think so, He's the top scoring defender in the league with 5 goals along with Ivanovic but he's a guaranteed to start unlike Ivanovic.

I have Dawson aswell and will be bringing in Verthonghen next week.

Is Ivan not a guaranteed starter? I was half thinking of bringing him in - but obviously I won't if he's not guaranteed to start. I already have Dawson.

He usually starts but Chelsea have a Europa league semi-final over 2 legs coming up so I'd expect him to be rested for 1 of those DGW matches.

Just had a look at his history there and he's been rested twice since the start of the year. At least with Verthonghen you know he will play when fit.

So Suarez to ??? I'm thinking Tevez.

Thats what i did. Also Gerrard to Bale for a 4 point hit.

Mr.Nice Guy

Another one here who is gonna have to ditch Suarez for someone. Tevez seems the best choice, but I have a feeling Defoe could be a nice option. Might leave it until the last minute as I'm not going to stress too much on price changes at this stage.

Ya I will be getting Defoe in to partner Tevez for the DGW. You would think he should get a start now considering Ade's shocking form.

Jack Lumber

Suarez out, Tevez in.
Cazorla out, Bale in.

Easiest two transfers I've ever had to make.

Suarez out Tevez in.

Sorely tempted by these points hits too. Over the next two GW anyway..

Santi out, Bale in
Fellaini out, Michu in

Mr.Prodston

How do the following transfers between now and the DGW sound?

Arteta -> Mata
Sissoko -> Maloney
Lambert -> Defoe
Mirallas -> Tevez
Baines -> Defender at around 6 million or less

Now I'm not an idiot and know the first 2 are no brainers, but I'm tempted to wait with Lambert and Mirallas as they face WBA and Fulham respectively and both are at home. If I were to bring Tevez in this week which forward would be more droppable? I'm edging towards Lambert at the moment but Mirallas will realistically only provide an assist threat.

Also I already have Dawson so probably not looking at another Spurs. Mertesacker interests me as Arsenal have 2 nice games against QPR and Wigan the following week, 37.


Mata is perilously close to going up, just under 99%. I'd really rather wait until tomorrow night just in case.

OneColdHand

Ahh, can't figure out if Mata will go up....I'd love if he didn't so I can see what happens tomorrow before getting him, and deciding who to get him in for!

I can afford the 0.1, so might just hold off, and cross my fingers he doesn't go up!

Edit: If stupid people stopped transferring him in BEFORE his midweek game this would be much easier on everyone!

I'm in the same predicament, I keep refreshing fiso. The way it's going it'll hit 100% bang on 2 o'clock. The 0.1 may be vital or may not depending on what defender I replace Baines with next week.

If you can't beat em' join em' 99.8% with 30 odd minutes is cutting it too fine.

Plus, he's 102.5% (or something) on TotalFPL. Though apparently Fiso is more accurate.

Edit: over 100% on fiso too. Went ahead and made the transfer.

What are people' thoughts on Ba? I am thinking he should start this weekend and at least one of the doubles..
Chelsea minefield..

With him being cup tied in EL, he should be given more minutes than Torres.

There's definitely safer dgw attacking options, Ba be a bit of a gamble but could pay off, though Torres seems to be more in favour of late, jmo

Who are you thinking are safer apart from Kone and Lukaka? Not pushed on these two but if pushed i would say kone.

Tevez slight risk with cup final
Defoe - some fitness concerns
Ba - rotation risk

keane2097

Is Aguerro injured or what's the story?

Defoe is going nowhere near my team,brought him in twice this season as he promised so much only to fail spectacularly.

Got Kone instead along with Tevez who should play as he seems to be the only frontman that Mancini can trust to put in a shift lately.

Swiper the fox

Defoe is a real form player though, having scored a good goal last week he's likely to go on a run, big concern is whether he will start 3 or more of the remaining games, Bale is gonna play behind the striker and Adebayors strength and supposed ball winning ability might be a more prized asset for AVB and he may retain his starting place with Defoe being introduced later, who knows, but I too would be wary of having Defoe in my FF team, if I felt he would start he'd be a great guy to have.

deebag14

Defoe is too risky i think

I'm going with just kone myself. Other than him I'd say tevez is a decent bet, Defoe possibly too but you wouldn't be sure, lukaku should play both but I wouldn't be convinced with wba's fixtures

Mr.Prodston

Chris Hughton on Mickey Turner

Turner will miss this weekend and is touch and go for Villa.

Marc Wilson is touch and go as well according to Pulis.

No Turner and no Wilson makes Mr.Prodston go.....something something

Get one or both out for a WBA/Swans/Wigan defender ahead of the double

I've got Dawson, Enrique and Baines too so my plan was to probably take a chance and maybe downgrade Baines to upgrade to Tevez maybe next week. I've got Bunn and De Gea so between them one will surely start in goal, hopefully.

Iused2likebusts

Play fellani or get in bale for a 4 pt hit.

Hogey007

i'd do the bale transfer if you want to play it safe, while fellaini is still capable of getting a goal or two he has been playing deep lately.

Most people will have Bale and you could lose serious ground if he runs riot whereas if fellaini racks up a high score and you've sold him the damage will be a lot less.

I know you had been planning on getting Bale in for the dgw anyway so if you do it now for a 4 point hit it gives you an extra transfer next week so you could gain those 4 points back anyway with an extra dgw player.

I have fellaini myself and was probably going to bring in hazard for a 4 point hit but then having to make an extra transfer for suarez means i'd need to take an 8 point hit because i'd need to downgrade evra too to be able to afford hazard.

Im convinced bale it is.

In a similar position trying to weigh up whether to take a -8 this week or a -4 next week.

Already taken a -4 this week (Benteke/Kone -> Suarez/Berbatov). My DGW plan involves getting Harte and Mata in for DDG and Fellaini.

If I was to take a further -4 this week then would it seems to make more sense to get Harte in for DDG and leave Mata until next week.

Or just leave both until next week?

Mata is probably only worth doing this week if you plan on captaining him.

would be very surprised if hart didn't keep a cs at home to west ham and i don't think united will keep a cs so right there you've got your 4 points back if that happens.

i was very wary of not having Mata for a home game to swansea so got him in for Caz, as i was saying in my last post, Fellaini is capable of scoring well but hasn't been lately, so it's really a question of if you want to take the risk of not having mata, him not starting last night would suggest that he's going to start sunday.
Could go eitherway so it's one you have to make a call on yourself but getting mata now for the hit is probaly the safer option.
