If you have him don't let it bother you, people are impatient, Mirallas will be value this year as long as he plays, he's been damn unlucky not to have scored yet but I'm going to give him time, particularly in the absence of what I would consider a decent alternative, in fact you could look on it as a bonus as it means less people will own him when he scores twice next week(away to west ham). I think he will comfortably outscore the likes of Nolan, Ben Arfa, Chadli etc. I watched Sturridge lose 1 million in value towards the end of last year before he came good for me in the last few weeks.

I'm looking at getting him on in the next 3-4 GWs actually. Ideally I want Nani in there, but in the absence of game time I can't see him being played for a full game for another couple weeks. I was looking at Nolan, but West ham don't have the attacking threat that I'd like to see from my midfield. I feel the same about Newcastle so that's Ben Arfa out as well unless I need to save money with him being the cheapest of my possibilities. That leaves Chadli and Mirallas. With Everton against Chelsea next week I don't see Mirallas doing much, so Chadli it is for now. Although I haven't completely ruled out Nolan.

I had Nolan on the provision that I was expecting Carroll back soon enough. Now that Carroll is gone long term my plan is to downgrade Nolan to someone cheaper like Redmond off Norwich and upgrade Shaw in defence.

I think the worry for West Ham now is that Allardyce was buying players (Downing, Jarvis) with the plan being to use Andy Carroll as their target man and base play around him.

Now that he's out they're off to plan B. I think they'll be good for cheap defenders now but no good for attackers.

We don't have a plan B.

Miralas down, Ivanovic stay at 6.5 and Hernandez and Sturridge up so I can set my team please.

That's my point. Plan B will be to grind out victories Allardyce style, hence defenders will be good value but attacking players not.

As a Blackburn supporter, I'm now sh!ting it Allardyce will be back in for the Lancashire Messi Jordan Rhodes in January. He was keen in the Summer until he got Carroll.

SlickRic

a fair few transfers done around the place today.

Hernandez will go up tonight.

Yaya, Lamps, Giroud all rising fast.

Benteke has some momentum too, as do a few others.

interesting times over the next couple of days

sturridge is expected to be fit it said on ssn, so hopefully that'll see his transfer increase and get him over 100% before friday night so i can make .1 on him.

Puncheon close to a drop, just worth keeping an eye on him.

I don't for a minute believe there was ever a chance he'd miss that game.

Rodgers just didn't want him near international duty and the chance of injury IMO.

ItsChecoTime

Apologies if this has been asked before but I was just wondering, if you have a player who falls .1 then the next week or whenever rises back the .1, do you need .2 for him to get back to his original price or just the .1?

oh I never really doubted he'd miss it either, but we needed confirmation he'd play to reverse the transfers out before Friday night, we need the price increase Friday night, Saturday is no good, unless you plan to keep him.

I do plan to keep him. I think he'll only get better when Suarez is back, Coutinho moves to the centre and Liverpool are creating more.

Sturridge is living on scraps at the minute.

will be looking at coutinho alongside walcott as my big 2 midfielders.

can't really fit sturridge in and happy enough with coutinho as liverpool attacking cover.
unlikely to get the price rise out of him as he's still going the wrong way with transfers.

if your picking strikers i think if you can get RVP-Sturridge-Lukaku you wont be doing bad at all. I am aware that Lukaku has a blank gameweek this week as they play chelsea

Hopefully rodgers comes out with something positive about him tomorrow that may get him over the line. I guess rodgers will have to pretend he is still an injury doubt though to keep the media off his back.

Im going with rvp bent soldado as planned and will then transfer rvp to sturridge next week. Just cant bring myself to be without rvp this week ( im going to be watching the match and it will be torture not having him knowing the masses have him captained) but took on board your point about too many risks and am going without Nani.

Any thoughts if he will drop tonight? -96 on fiso, -89 on totalFPL.

No wildcard, and internet access might be limited after tonight till saturday evening. Also keeping an eye on Silva, and Lambert as also in side.

A physical game away at stoke and the fact that aguero played in argentina midweek may give dzeko a stay of execution this week but the writing is on the wall for him.

In regard to Soldado, I reckon Norwich will give Spurs a tougher game than people think. Hughton is building a good team there.

I also wouldn't be surprised if RVP doesn't fly out of the traps. I think he will at some stage this season but not sure if it'll be just yet.

yeah that's the problem, really need him to say that he's fully fit but it'll probably be as you say, "we're hopeful he'll be fit"

I had forgot all about bent until you mentioned him in another post, I had originally planned on going RVP-Bent- Soldado but can't overlook giroud. i'm reluctant to drop soldado either and his price makes him a perfect swap for etoo in a couple of weeks if I wanted to go that route, but it's VERY hard to ignore bent's fixtures either and the 3.0 million could do wonders for my defence or midfield if I put bent in instead of soldado??

then I just had a look at coutinho and he's 50% of the way to a drop, 1 more 3 or less score v a decent Swansea side could see him drop in price, I don't really want to be transferring in a player with a declining price, but at the same time, I kind of want to get the time I want now and not be saying "oh i'll do this and that next week", I tried that at the start of the season and ended up with numerous point hits.
and this is exactly why I stayed away from my team for the last 2 weeks only checking the price increases. it'd wreck your head with decisions.
I was happily chasing down terrorists in Baghdad and now I've spent the last hour looking at fixtures and price trends and form and god knows what else while Baghdad remains full of terrorists!


I probably should point out that i'm playing splinter cell:blacklist.

I presume your talking about computer games there. Having a son put paid to those days for me. Left giroud out myself which was a difficult decision but my thinking was there was a lot of other striking options but not many midfield options I was happy with. Ozil and walcott I felt where the best 2 midfield options and couldnt go with 3 arsenal attacking players so giroud had to go.

Paully D

Yaya Toure gets his price increase tonight which means I have exactly enough cash to get the complete team I want, with one day to spare. That was my first time using the wildcard to generate extra value and it couldn't have gone any better.

Thanks for the help all.

yep it's a computer game bud. yeah i was reading your thinking behind ozil and walcott the last few days and hard to argue with that logic, i'm struggling to get the 9.0 for coutinho so def wouldn't be able to stretch for ozil, i had said all along i wanted to get coutinho so would prefer the walcott - coutinho - giroud trio rather than walcott - ozil - sturridge as it's cheaper too and with RVP i need all the extra cash i can get. having said that, as i said in my last post, doubts are creeping in about coutinho now over his impending price fall.
it's down to business today though, i've took a few days off but have some tough calls, there really is a lack of stand out options in midfield, there are some gambles, thinking maybe i could take a punt on nani myself? oh....it's going to be a long 28 hours or so until 11:30 tomorrow

I think I solved the second big midfielder issue, do nothing!! think i'll just leave Oscar there, he's started the season well and there's no one really jumping out at me so might just see how Oscar plays out over the next couple of week and closely monitor coutinho/nani/spurs midfield or just see if anyone makes themselves unpickable for that spot. or am I mad to be going with a Chelsea midfielder giving the abundance of talent they have for that role?

I was thinking more for RVP to Rooney. If (big if) Rooney becomes nailed for 90 mins in central position and is on song (we all know he can be FF gold, he MOM vs Chelsea, but I am still not sure of his fitness) the RVP->Rooney move could make a load of sense.

Actually as Mr P. pointed out with a nice anecdotal video, RVP may not be as effective for FF with Ronney, as their shot count often ends up quite even. Maybe:rolleyes: Tricky game second guessing RVP, but one has to, on the long term, with that hefty price tag

oscar could work well for you. Mourinho seems to favour playing him off the front man.With the news on Bent and doubts on Ozil. I could go with giroud now myself.

My hope is with the players he has behind him Giroud should be fit to score. He's not a bad player but he's just been inconsistent.

The one thing he has going for him is the lack of competition up front at Arsenal.

I think Ozil will benefit walcott more than he will benefit giroud. Its passes in behind the full back to a player with pace rather than crosses into the box that Ozil will deliver. Granted Girouds output should also increase as walcott will be squaring some of these chances. Ozil seemed to set up a lot of ronaldos goals at madrid wideman cutting in with pace like walcott.
Giroud is a great option and as you say has only been improved by ozils arrival he should score more goals than last year and has no competition. With no Bent I dont think Ive the money for Ozil so I'll probably do walcott and giroud.
