I'm thinking it'll be Olsson because Norwich showed decent pedigree last season for clean sheets and seem to have slightly easier fixtures.

Really want to play Morrison next week but can't really drop any of my front 7.

Ramsey Coutinho Nasri Hazard
Lukaku Aguero Suarez

The sooner they let us play 2 6 3 the better!

To be honest I would love if Ramsey got injured tomorrow and is out until after Christmas. Means I can play Morrison next week and it screws people who have had him a while if they are forced to decide whether to get rid of him or not.

Not nice praying for an injury and I've enjoyed watching Ramsey play this year. That being said, hope Coleman does him in and gets a decent ban in the process

Lucas Hood

Thinking of doing Mignolet to Krul.

Hogey007

hmmm, considering coutinho to hazard, is it worth it or just try ride out the palace game as coutinho is at home to cardiff the following week and i think coutinho is liklier to get more gametime over the xmas/new year. would prefer to wait until nearer next weekend but if i am going to do it i may aswell do it before hazard rises even more in price.

I think I would get rid in a heart beat to be honest if out till after xmas or new year.

Made quite a good profit, and could possible buy back cheaper than got rid for. An good few GWs during that time for him to drop.

Cant believe I'm even thinking that.

Would actually make a 1.4 mil profit between them.

ok, once i actually looked at this it was quite an easy decision, while coutinho has a lovely fixture against cardiff the gw after next, his other 3 are all away to spurs, city and chelsea.
hazard has 3 home fixtures in 4 including home games against palace and swansea and while he's likely to not start 1 of those 4 games he's not getting rotated as much as i thought, a quick look at his history shows he's played 90 minutes in 6 of the last 8 and 83 minutes in the other 2.
turned out to be a very easy decision. (cue coutinho hitting ramsey type form)

FHFC

What about mike Williamson from Newcastle defence? He seems to be a certain starter, their getting the odd clean sheet and while they are unpredictable,who isn't defensively. Some good fixtures and 4.4m....

just to keep this conversation with myself going, when i went to do it it turns out i was .1 short of getting hazard so taking this opportunity to get rid of mignolet, can't afford howard and with lewis (cardiff) as my sub keeper i need someone who plays everyweek so can't risk mannone so who better to get than the other cardiff keeper that actually plays? if he does get dropped lewis will come in anyway and 3 of marshall's next 4 fixtures are west brom southampton and sunderland at home. it's a 4 point hit mind.

Looking at my new defender bible, Iusedtolikebusts' excellent post on cheap defenders, Cardiff could be the way to go. Next 8 home games are WBA, Southampton, Sunderland, West Ham, Norwich, Villa, Hull.

I really should follow my own advice and start downgrading my defence.
Ive 2 choices johnson to B Turner or coutinho to oscar. Im edging towards coutinho to oscar( if fit). Coutinho was MOTM today but in FF he only returned 2 pts.

been saying that about him for a while, anytime i've seen liverpool with him playing he's been great and runs the show but it's not translating to FF points so i've ditched him for hazard.

Why Ben Turner? Chester from Hull (home to Stoke) and Olsson (home to Swansea) also have good fixtures.

I have hazard and am thinking coutinho to oscar. To give me hazard and oscar at home to palace next week. Ye coutinho is a great player especially against the weaker teams its mad his worst performance since returning from injury was against everton and he scores in that game Chelsea can rest the likes of hazard and oscar against steau midweek and then the carling cup the following midweek.

I have olsson (left him on the bench today to play dawson, terry, g johnson the right move but annoying nonetheless). I only plan playing my cheapies at home so next 5
Cardiff have WBA Sou SUN West ham Norwich
Hull have Stoke man utd Ful Chelsea Spurs.

Lemlin

Olsson seems to rotate well with Ward from Palace so I reckon I'll go with him.

That will leave me with a defence of:

Coleman Mert Terry Ward Olsson

I might drop one of the other expensive defenders next. At the minute it'll either be Meet or Terry. Coleman is the only safe one.

Turner would me my choice for a cheap defender, in for either Dawson or Merts if done this week, or Terry from next week.

Curious why nobody talking about Williamson from Newcastle though. Am I missing something? Southampton, Stoke and Arsenal home and Palace away in next 4. Newcastle actually getting more CS against 'bigger' teams, they've shut out Chelsea, spurs and Man U.

Mint Sauce

Current team.

Mignolet
Pantilimon

Dawson
Fonte
Vlaar
Coleman
Terry

Nasri
Bannan
Hazard
Bacuna
Ramsey

Agüero
Suárez
Lukaku

I'm thinking this week
Mignolet to Howard
Dawson/Fonte to Gabbidon

Next week
Nasri to Shelvey
?Lukaku to Rooney

Thoughts?

Lucas Hood

Mignonet & Nasri out for Krul & Hazard done. 2fts

Their recent upturn in form has coincided with him being back in the team. Its a good shout he seems to be ahead of yanga mbiwa in the pecking order.

Why everyone getting rid of mignolet

Anyone looking at Hernandez of Swansea, was a great FF player before injury and priced at bargain 5.7. Looking at moving morrison or brady for him

Mr.Prodston

Why not both?

I'm becoming like a crazy cat lady with my cheap defenders now:

Mickey T, Benny T, Danny G, Sheamie and soon we'll have Jimmy C to add to the collection when I get around to ditching Williams

Danger781

Mignolet -> Szczesny done.

Glad to be rid, should have done so ages ago..

Danger781

I've seen some people mentioning bringing in Oscar.

He is very close to a drop, have patience and save yourself 0.1

I don't think there'll be much in it but I do think Hazard will out score Oscar.

Hazard had the best game I've ever seen him have Wednesday night. He was unplayable.

I looking at some stats and Hazard is definitely worth the extra money over Oscar (imo, of course). Looked further, Whittingham's creating a lot of chances, on set pieces and his fixtures work well with my other 4/5th mid option for the next month.

Decided to pull the trigger and went for the two as I actually had the two free transfers. 0.2m saved (Arnautovic out, who is falling tonight, although I do like him as a player) so I would've had to choose a much weaker option than Whittingham. Quite pleased with it actually. Just hope Hazard comes through midweek alright, hate early transfers.

Mignolet out for who? , already have three Everton players

Depends how much you want to spend!

Clean Sheet Keepers
Szczesny has some tough fixtures on the way, but as a long term investment should pay off nicely.

Jaaskelainen is a solid keeper, although WHAM seem to be struggling defensively a little bit since Reid got injured.

Begovic was fantastic last year, keeping 12 clean sheets. Seems on track to getting close to that number once again with 5 so far.

Krul is a very good keeper from what I've seen of him, and at 5.1 seems to be cheapest of the clean sheet keeper category. He's also only owned by 4% of people so a decent differential.

Pantilimon I feel bad recommending him as I am sure the week someone takes my advice he will be dropped. But he is the cheapest way into the City defence.

Bargain keepers
These are bargain keepers that may not keep a lot of CS over the season, but should still get enough to justify their cheap price tag when you take save points into account.

Speroni
4 CS in the last 5 games is immense. Speaks for itself.

McGregor
Only conceded 3 goals at home this season. Gets lots of save points.

Marshall
Gets frequent save points, and decent CS potential. 4 so far this season.

No not mad. I have him but I'll be bringing in Marshall for Hooper this GW. Im nervous of city at home.
Edit.. I personally wouldn't take a hit for it.

I currently have Gazzaniga and Szczesny

Although once Boruc is back I'll need to look elsewhere.. January wildcard

Lemlin

I was torn between Olsson and Ben Turner but consulted FFS and, as I have Ward, I followed this:


Budget options Martin Olsson, Joel Ward and Ben Turner all clamber up the rankings in light of their upcoming run of games. All three are nailed-on for their respective sides, with Olsson the dearest of the trio at 4.2 – Ward and Turner come in at 4.0 and 4.1 respectively, as mentioned above, rotate very favourably. Indeed, between now and Gameweek 27, they’d hand you a run of (CAR, WBA, NEW, SOU, SUN, NOR, WHM, STO, HUL, NOR, WBA, AVL, HUL) – an outstanding set of home fixtures.

Olsson could still come in for Terry or Mert next GW. I have 2.5 million in the bank now but that change would give me 4.5 or so and allow me to upgrade one of my cheap mids to a more expensive option like Silva, Yaya, Oscar or Coutinho.

I could also go for Cabaye and Fer and rotate them.

Santi101

Dont think Szczesny is a great choice for the next group of games tbh, cant see more than one CS in those 3 games

Thinking of Howard myself and then re-evaluate the situation at the wildcard.

Mignolet has been returning poorly for quite a while now but I've always had a more pressing concern so have stuck with. Spurs away next, cert to concede so now seems like time to cut him out.

dahat

Problem having Howard is i have Coleman and Lukaku, 3 from Everton is not ideal i feel.

Lemlin

I don't get the big rush to discard Mignolet tbh. I'm going to stick with him for now:

From FFS:

Three favourable home games (WHM, CAR, HUL) in the next six suggest Simon Mignolet owners may be happy to hold but Liverpool’s away schedule is as tough as their home matches are enticing – visits to Spurs, City and Chelsea may well persuade some to part company with the Belgian, who has one clean sheet in 10 heading into this evening’s visit of Norwich.

He's the fifth highest scoring 'keeper and there's only 13 points between him and Howard who is top. I certainly wouldn't see changing him as a priority.

Tough game on paper up next but the way Spurs are shooting he should at least get save points!

I'm not a fan on doubling up and Coleman is still the best value in that Everton defence for me.

Santi101

Yeah, not usually a fan of doubling up but people do it in defence/midfield/attack and it can pay off(ramsey/ozil....suarez/sturridge for a few games....everton defenders in a number of games).

Everton have fulham home, swans away, sunderland home........chance for 1/2 CS I'd guess.

Problem with Liverpool is they are scoring well but then throw away a soft goal. A lot of the big sides seem to be doing this. Goals come easy against smaller teams so the CS not valued. But if you are Palace, hull or Norwich and a goal is like gold dust you bust your asš for that CS against a lower ranked side. This is the main reason I think the budget defence and keepers will pay of

Mignolet & Giroud out.

Gazziniga & Van Persie in..

Do you have Aguero and Suarez already because if you went for RVP over either of them, you're brave!

SantryRed

Getting on the Everton defensive bandwagon.

Mignolet and Shaw out.
Howard and Coleman in.

I have suarez ans lukaku. Im hoping rvp will get plenty of game time,hit a bit of form and man city rotate over chrimbo. Im currwnlty 7th in my money league and all 6 ahead of.me.have suarez and aguero. So I have to do something.

My team - http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/12054/event-history/15/

Strongly thinking of downgrading Clyne to either Chester or Tuner (Cardiff) at a 4 point hit, I'm struggling in defence next week and the wheels have definitely come off the Saints bandwagon. Chester is looking more likely atm. Then possibly dump Terry for Distin ahead of GW 17 (Chelsea face Arsenal away), leaving me the cash to upgrade Coutinho/Nasri to Ozil for GW18 when Arsenal's fixtures ease up considerably.

I've been a massive fan of Terry all season but Chelsea can't keep a clean sheet to save their life - happy to double up on Everton defender + keeper over Christmas, they have some lovely fixtures. Nasri and Coutinho are big rotation risks over the festive period, although the longer Gerrard and Silva remain injured the better.

Danger781

^ I'm thinking along the same lines

Considering Vlaar -> Chester, as both are equally likely of CS imo.. Saves me 0.7 so

That will be a 4 point hit though, not sure if that's justifiable. Although, it's that or play one of
- Vlaar vs MUFC
- Dawson vs LFC

Neither sound appealing. Perhaps a tactical 4 point hit is on the cards..

coutinho wont be rotated there is nobody to come in for him. Liverpools fixtures are awful though. Think Im going to hang onto Terry but distin does have an excellent run of fixtures.

km79

Gonna have a good look at Everton today.
Either gonna move Kolo toure out for Evans , Chester or Possibly Distin and (already have Coleman) OR switch sessegnon out for mirallis or Barkley......
I really should sort out toure first I guess

roryc

Coutinho hasn't impressed me since getting him in, he doesn't seem to be as attack minded as he was at the end of last season. Nasri at least has the ability to score a few, as proven last week and in Europe.

A lot depends on when Silva's due back
