    Have people forgotten Paulinho 7m had a decent confederations, bags a few goals too

    If Bale leaves im putting him in @ 7m i think he is good value .


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    As regards to Paulinho in my head I've classed him as no more than a central mid with not much in the way of going forward. But a good few people seem to be wittering on about him so due to my complete ignorance apart from a few goals in the confederations cup and costing £17m what does he bring to FPL? @7 which is an awkward price.

    Assuming he's a 4th choice or ever 3rd what advantage would he bring over having a rotation between Koren/Redmond et al around 5.0

    Looking at some stats Nacer Chadli may be an option if Bale leaves .

    Is there anyone planning on taking a punt on Lewis Holtby? has had six months to settle in and is very highly regarded in Germany (U21 captain etc). Could he be a dark horse?

    Can't see him being a first team regular.

    Looks like a good player but FF wise remains to be seen. Like Nuts102 said he's a rotation risk at best right now. Who knows what'll go on at Spurs over the next few weeks. If any of their players were guaranteed starters I'd love Townsend to be. I genuinely think he could do a job replacing Bale on his own and if he nailed down a spot he'd rake in the points!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,742 ✭✭✭Dr. Bre


    Caulker having medical at cardiff, could be one to watch. also could take the place of a cardiff defender


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭Jax Teller


    5m on a Cardiff city defender ? No way Jose .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,994 ✭✭✭Backstreet Moyes


    Dzeko getting 2 again i would be wary putting in any City striker.

    Auguero is carrying some sort of knee inury still,he has seens little or no pre season if i am correct?
    Dzecko early doors looks a safe option,7.5 i think he is,dirt cheap

    Was he also not top scorer last year besides being a sub most of the season. Seems to be in the same situation as Hernandez for United can't start regularly but will bang in goals when plays.

    Indeed he was,just think as an early option he will do well,i plan to WC early so if he is not a regular i can shift him.

    He could indeed be a great shout early on. If he were to continue form then he could nail down a spot. Could be worth a risk until The Berb's attractive fixture kick in around GW 6. He may prove a better gamble than Lukaku, DGW or no DGW


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,830 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Looks a good shout to me,hard to see Lukaku getting both games even if everyone thinks he will!!

    Fitting Hazard in will likely cost me Walcott so back filling with Morrison of WBA is what i can afford.
    Mirallis and Coutinho are two of my main players this season so i really want to keep them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,994 ✭✭✭Backstreet Moyes


    Anybody think Pienaar could be a decent option?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 855 ✭✭✭mectavba


    I've seen a lot of love for Coutinho, who is a fabulous player no doubt. But at the same price, would Stevie G not be worth the nod?

    Without Suarez (at the start anyway) they will need to find goals and Gerrard always seems to manage to pop up with a few. I guess Coutinho is expected to play in a more advanced role, but with Gerrard on pens, set pieces and probably more likely to get bonus points would he not be the better option (plus would give you a differential).

    Could be but with Mirallas only .5 more I can't look past that. I had him a few times last year instead of Fellaini while he was ripping it up before xmas hoping Pienaar would earn his keep, sadly wasn't that case and is now .5 more expensive than he was last year.

    Yeah it depends where Coutinho (and Gerrard for that matter) play.

    He is great when he is behind striker in free role but I don't like him on the wing at all, he is much too small and slight and gets bullied by fullbacks.

    I have a concern too about the lads strength and stamina for the PL, I mean will he rotate a bit...

    How much to people reckon Soldado will cost? Same as negredo or Jovetic or maybe a slight bit cheaper? 8.5 or 9 would be sweet! Reckon he will do more damage than those two


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL


    I'm thinking 9mill myself, but not 100% sure.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭Jax Teller


    He'll come in between 8.5m & 9.5m . Hopefully it's the former .


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    For somebody this watchlist was actually made for I give you Calum Chambers (Southampton 4.0) He's a right back and has been starting matches in pre-season. Clyne picked up an injury recently too which certainly had something to do with it but he had indeed started against Schalke before the injury.

    Worth keeping an eye on especially for those looking at Clyne himself. Been given the 22 jersey and signed a 4 year contract earlier in the week. Is seen more as a winger than RB but is listed as a defender.

    I really shouldn't know this, stupid game :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    chamakh is being tipped to join palace.

    at 5.0 is he worth a gamble? should play every week and can be nicely rotated with koren/brady as they rotate perfect for 38 games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    i know berbatov has his fans on here.......looking pretty ripped for the new season :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,366 ✭✭✭✭8-10


    Loic Remy possible price? Did the business for me near the end of last year


  • Registered Users Posts: 283 ✭✭bodking


    Soldado completes move to Spurs , Now can we have the price ??


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Ravel Morrison starts for West Ham tonight, James Collins doesn't but of course this is pre-season and Diame and Rat are also on the bench for them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Oh and with Taarabt heading to Fulham on loan that surely pushed the Berb right back up top and dismisses Bent as becoming a Cottager?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭Jax Teller


    Really interested in Remys price . He certainly knows where the back of the net is .
    Hoping for 6.5m or less


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,420 Mod ✭✭✭✭F1ngers


    Ravel Morrison starts for West Ham tonight,

    Scored a brace tonight, and Nolan got one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭Mike Ehrmantraut


    Morrison could be really good value!


  • Registered Users Posts: 492 ✭✭moreau


    Sturridge back in full training

    https://twitter.com/LFC/status/364363061135544320

    He will surely be ready to go for start of season?

    With Suarez out, Rodgers (and his medical team) have had this in mind the second he picked up that injury I would think...

    For me, a fit Sturridge @ 9m is difficult to leave out considering the end of last season. Liverpool have good fixtures too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 492 ✭✭moreau

    Collins looks great @ 4.5m, but Reid and Tompkins could be CB partnership ahead of him?

    Or a bit of rotation with any sign of poor performance, I think Reid is #1 but could be wrong

    Ravel Morrison - possible cheap mid option at 4.5

    worth keeping an eye on this guy, as a united fan i'd be hearing about his talent for years in the underage teams. he has the talent but his off the field problems saw united lose patience with him, west ham loaned him to birmingham and again a poor attitude almost seen birmingham terminate the loan, but he seemed to knuckle down then and get on with things.

    He's scored twice already for west ham in pre season, albeit it against poor opposition, like i said, he has the talent, whether or not he can do something with that remains to be seen but as i have a 4.5 mil spot up for grabs i'll be keeping an eye on him.

    http://hereisthecity.com/2013/07/11/ex-manchester-united-starlet-strikes-again-could-ravel-morrison

    2 more last night makes it 5 in pre season (that i've noticed, i possibly missed a west ham game)
    def think he's worth the risk as a 4.5 midfielder, if he turns out not to be getting much time i'll get rid of him with my wildcard that i usually use early, but given west ham's fixtures he's definetley worth a risk


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    Mirallas is only owned by 5.5%.

    Allardyce likes giving young players a chance. Jones, Olsson, Hoilett and N'Zonzi all flourished at Blackburn under him.

    If Morrisson is playing well, I think Sam will play him.

    I think he will be on the bench first game he has missed most of pre season. Liverpool have 2 games left in pre season he would need to probably be getting 90 mins in both for me to consider starting with him. Great option if he starts.

    Nastasic out for 4-6 weeks with that ankle injury.

    Hello Joleon Lescott

    Nastasic out for 4-6 weeks with that ankle injury.

    Hello Joleon Lescott

    GREAT! I was going to gamble on including Nastasic in my final team. The initial run of manchester city is very good! So... Lescott fell free to start training alongside Van Persie, Walcott, Hazard, Mirallas, Mickey T...

    Soldado 9.5. I guess it was to be expected


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL


    Soldado 9.5. I guess it was to be expected

    Just when I was settled on RVP / Lukaku (Gayle) up front, in walks Soldado / Negredo and Lukaku for the same price. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,994 ✭✭✭Backstreet Moyes


    Soldado is a must imo. Defoe despite not being first choice scored 124 last year. Soldado is lethal in front of goal and will be first choice. Think he is a better choice than Negredo.

    Also i know he is 7.5 but i think Remy could be a good choice he should bang in a few goals.


  • Registered Users Posts: 335 ✭✭kevinroche3333


    Scott Sinclair rumoured to be joining WBA on season long loan, More than capable of being a regular starter there with goals and assists for 6.0


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston

    Could be a great option on the left of a top 3/4. Would wait a few weeks to see how he settles but would certainly be on people's radars I'd imagine
