    If I were being brave if/when I wildcard this week this is something I might do, however it could also kill me stone dead. I like it though :)

    3fnex.jpg

    I could even go back to Siggy for Chadli to play it a little safer :pac:

    I understand the excitement such a team could provide BUT (although it is to me much earlier to go down that route anyway) this is the team of someone who's chasing I think. You are not chasing. You're at the top. You're leading. If I were you I'd wait for the "chasers" to take risks and inevitably make mistakes at some point.

    For what I remember of your team, I think you can afford 2 of DeGea->Fabianski or Forster (but think you already have Southampton def) / Nolan->Chadli / VP->Aguero without rushing it. In fairness you may only just do the Aguero one since the others don't offer you better fixtures than the ones you already have (well that's of course if Nolan is not restricted to 20min cameos).


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    Well it's quite ironical that I was the last to post in here and was trying to talk wise.

    Now I'm considering going a tad misterprodstonly wild :pac:.

    Ulloa -> Pellè
    Sterling -> Chadli
    Ivanovic -> Baines

    And there is Diego Costa. If he was out for sure for the QPR home game I'd take my chances and ditch him. Since next is United away and after Liverpool away and then international break.
    But of course we don't know how long he's out for. And I don't have great subs for him next week if he doesn't play the next game.
    So King -> Boyd is tempting but think it'd be a waste. I can only regret being hesitant about Boyd during my WC. Should have trusted the people saying he'd be a regular at Burnley.

    Here's my team
    5lp76g.jpg

    --- edit ---
    Ulloa -> Pellè
    Sterling -> Chadli
    done.

    Couldn't wait too much since I only have £0.4m left in bank after doing it and would have lost £0.2m on my first transfer tonight. Actually maybe the full £0.4m if Sterling and Chadli move. Crazy early transfers due (partly only I must be honest :pac: but still partly is a huge negative change IMO) to the new price change blackout.


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


    Well I think those proposed transfers make a hell of a lot of sense. Not sure that helps coming from me though :pac:

    Sterling is a danger though. I don't have him and live in constant fear. But we can't have everyone. I'd go for that though as it seems well thought through and should work well in the short to medium term. Nothing too crazy about it at all :)

    There's a midweek game for him so that'll tell you if he's out or not. My feeling is he'll play midweek and start v United. If he doesn't play, then you have a case for dropping him ahead of the weekend.

    :pac: on the bold part.

    More seriously I'm close to go for it right now. I also have the "luxury" of doing the first 2 for no hits. Can always wait for Ivan -> Baines. Would not be a disaster to lose £0.1m on him since I don't think I'll be keeping him for the whole season despite the great stats posted by G1032.

    But making transfers before CL games doesn't sound like a great idea...
    And yes Sterling could destroy Hull...

    Another option (to allow for Pellè in) would be to ditch Ivan and pick a max £5.2m def (e.g. Kaboul or Rose from Spurs). What you think?


    --- edit ---

    As I explained in my previous edited post
    Ulloa -> Pellè
    Sterlng -> Chadli

    done.


    Second big decision of the season. First one was GW4 WC which was a disaster for 2 weeks but did set my team up nicely enough for the following 3.

    Midweek game won't tell you anything. Costa isn't going to be in the squad against Maribor. Even if fit, I doubt he would have been. Perfect game to rest him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Haven't posted my team here in ages!

    Guzan Gilks
    Baines Ivanovich Duff Clyne Wisdom
    Chadli Sterling ADM Siggy King
    Costa Aguero Welbeck

    0.2 in the kitty. Doing so-so the last few weeks after a good start. Opinions welcome!


  • Registered Users Posts: 822 ✭✭✭Tony_Montana


    I have decided to wildcard even though I'm doing alright (top 15k) but I have started to drift off lately.

    reason for wildcarding was I wanted to bring in aguero sanchez baines and forster.

    To fit these all in I've had to give up a few strong players but here's how I'm looking at the moment.
    Any advice would be appreciated

    Baines AND Ivanovic sounds like a huge investment for your backline. Downgrading Ivanovic (to a Swansea - long term - or Spurs or Arsenal - short term - defender whom all have good fixtures coming) would help you get the hot and popular Pellè or upgrade your midfield with a Chelsea mid (Fab or Hazard) for example.

    Other than that it is a strong team which I guess is well performing. No major surgery needed ;).

    Well your team should definitely perform in the short term, considering the fixtures and the form your players are in.
    You have no Chelsea cover though. Do you have enough in bank to get some without major rearrangement? e.g. can you get Costa back (I assume you had him) if he's fine after his 2 weeks rest?

    Yes I had Costa and Fabregas.
    My plan is to have Hazard look term (when fixtures get better)
    I couldn't fit Baines Aguero Sanchez and Costa so he's out for now.
    I do rate Aguero alot more than Costa anyway so I don't mind not having a Chelsea player for now
    only .3 in the bank

    2 attacking S'hampton players is a bit overkill i.m.o. especially as you have no Chelsea attackers. My advice would be to change Sanchez and Eriksen to Ramsey and Chadli, and this might leave you enough to get in Costa for Pelle? (either straight away or after gw9). Defense looks solid and Obertan is a good 1st sub option


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,101 ✭✭✭Antibac


    Team is

    Forster
    PVA-Azpicueta-Cissoko
    Siggy-Schneiderlin-ADM-Sterling
    Costa-Aguero-Welbeck

    Subs
    Vlaar-Duff-Matic-Guzan

    Any suggestions? Thinking maybe Aziliculeta and Matic/Schneiderlin out for Bertrand and Diame.

    .2 short for that as I bought Pelle for 7.5.
    Is Chadli any good tho I know he's had a great start but I think Eriksen is a fantastic player and great value at 7.8

    Chadli is a good player looks to have really found his feet this season. Eriksen is good also obviously - but also dearer. Not a whole lot between them at the moment. You could easily find the 0.2M - either by downgrading Hutton, or even just waiting, as Pelle is on the rise, and Costa may be set to fall in price. Chelsea attacking coverage is absolutely essential tho I think, if not this gw, then certainly from next week on

    Schmeichel has nice fixtures


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced

    Just a comment to say I agree completely with that. I couldn't get him in so got Chadli instead and hope the latter is not outscored too much by the former. But for anyone WCing, Eriksen at his price with his form and the fixtures list ahead of him is a premium choice IMO. That said, it's always the same story. it all depends whta you can do with the extra £1m Chadli offers you.

    Right now though who would you bring in if doing the Baines transfer? Tadic or Eriksen. (Clyne to Baines and Sterling to Tadic/Eriksen).

    Edit....I don't have Pelle.

    Having both Baines (and captaining him this week) & Southsmpton defensive coverage.. I wouldn't get rid of Clyne with 4 of their next 6 games being at home & them looking good defensively!

    Also to note Bertrand & Clyne do get BPS too.

    I also mid Liverpool v QPR game I transferred Sterling to Tadic (I also don't have Pelle but have funds too)

    In order to keep Clyne it'll mean I can't buy Tadic or Eriksen. It would force me into getting Henderson. I was just thinking I'll take my 0.2 profit on Clyne and run! I'll be probably selling him anyway after their next 4 games...

    Tough choice alright. To summarise I'd say Tadic short term (like the next 4 games) / Eriksen long term (like to the Jan WC at least). That said Southampton don't play Europe which make them more appealing FF-wise...

    If you do get Baines and Eriksen can you also get Pellè (not especially right now thoug he could rise thrice this week)?

    Good point on Southampton defenders.

    Thanks. That's what a work colleague said today too. Tadic short term and then switch to Eriksen.

    Regarding Pelle.....I have Welbeck and think I'll hang on to him for the foreseeable future. If I was getting Pelle in later I'd have to downgrade Tadic to Henderson.

    I'm not really interested in Chadli tbh. Eriksen a much better player and if
    go for Spurs cover it will be though Eriksen.

    Have

    Begovic
    Bertrand- Hutton-Taylor (swansea)
    ADM- Sigurdsson- Chadli- Fabregas
    Costa- Aguero- Pelle

    Wisdom- Wilson- Jedinak.

    Any changes? Any poor areas tha stick out?

    Mannone Krul
    Clyne Azpil Wisdom Wilson Moore
    Fabregas Siggy ADM Sterling Boyd
    Ulloa Aguero Costa.

    Bank: 0.3
    1FT

    Going to switch Ulloa with Welbeck and Azpil with Chambers for a -4 hit.

    Thoughts?

    I'm afraid he can't afford that move. Ulloa to Pellè requires at least a £ 2.2m upgrade (and I'd bet he has to add at least £0.1m to that accounting for the price he got Ulloa at). So with £0.3m in bank, he can only afford defenders worth £4.0m to get Pellè and worth £4.7m to get Welbeck.

    It's hard to be sure but I don't think neither the players you consider moving in/out nor Pellè will move in price tonight. So ideally you could wait for news about ADM injury. If it's confirmed and considering his next 2 fixtures you could get Eriksen for him and either Welbeck or Pellè upfront.

    Chambers is appealing alright considering his price and Arsenal fixtures. But Arsenal are really struggling as a team and they only got 1 CS... It may not be such a good idea...

    Looking at your defenders, you have the Clyne/Moore Sou/Lei rotation and WBA's Wisdom and Sto's Wilson. If you wish to play the rotation at the back you could get AV's Hutton to rotate with Wisdom or Swa's Taylor to rotate with Wilson. AV have very decent fixtures coming. Swansea have a great home fixture coming, then 3 tough ones (especially the 2 away) but Stoke have good ones in the meantime (the 2 at home) and then it eases again.
    Ideally a Spurs defender would be great but out of your budget. Ideally again Eve's Alcaraz would continue playing and at £4.3m for such a team he'd be a bargain.

    If you want Pellè (though you never mentioned it :D) it'll be tough though since you'd be forced to get a £4.0m def leaving you only one possibility with New's Dummet. But I'm quite sure you'd not be excited doubling up on Newcastle defense...

    I'd appreciate any opinions on this. I backed out of using my WC last week and am still in the same situation. Each week I'm hoping I'll have the opportunity to ditch Mutch for Boyd so free up the cash. But each week another transfer distracts me and I can justify a -4 hit to bring in bench fodder.

    As a result I'm unhappy about a number of things. I can't get Aguero in without wildcarding him in. So the only transfer that I can see is Berahino in for Ulloa. Or do I just bite the bullet and use my FT to hook Mutch and start building from there.


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


    Which 3 of the following 5 defenders would you start this week:

    Bertrand (H) v STK
    Taylor (H) v LEI
    Wisdeom (H) v CRY
    Chambers (A) v SUN
    Filipe Luis (A) v MUN

    I made an impulse transfer bringing in luis last weekend, forgetting they will play UTd. I still think it could prove a good move if his value goes up and he may even retain his place. But I am thinking of benching him this week.

    At the moment, I'm thinking Bertrand (nailed on), Wisdom and Chambers. Swansea's form is poor enough, so even though they are playing Leicester at home, for now he is on the bench.

    Any thoughts?

    Costa -> Aguero affordable? Though you missed Costa price fall yesterday and I guess lost £0.1m for selling.

    Ulloa definitely has to go. Again you missed 2 price drops for him and at least 1 price rise for Berahino. But better be late than sorry ;). You may consider Sakho from West Ham. He's on fire.

    I'd play the 3 defenders at home. Good chance of a CS for each one of them.

    I'm finding it very difficult to keep up with the price changes this season.

    I'm tempted to do this now and hope that the two strikers make up for the -4 hit on hooking Mutch.

    I made an impulse transfer bringing in luis last weekend, forgetting they will play UTd. I still think it could prove a good move if his value goes up and he may even retain his place. But I am thinking of benching him this week.

    At the moment, I'm thinking Bertrand (nailed on), Wisdom and Chambers. Swansea's form is poor enough, so even though they are playing Leicester at home, for now he is on the bench.

    Any thoughts?

    I'd go With Bertrand, Taylor and flip a coin between Chambers and Luis. Possibly go with Luis because i expect Sunderland to be MUCH better this week and Arsenal are weak at the back.
    Also can see Chelsea beating United to nil and Luis could get some attackin returns.

    Manquillo > Rose
    Wilson > Coleman
    ADM > Eriksen

    worth a 4 point hit?
    Very very wary about getting rid of ADM but feel the point spread over the season will be made up by strengthening other areas.

    I'm planning on going with Wisdom (Palace at home) over Terry. Bad move?

    I think Spurs will have a good weekend against Newcastle so you may see most of that -8 being negated.

    I've 2 free transfers so it'll only be a -4 hit but yeah I wanna get some spurs coverage in..especially eriksen as i really think he could kick on now. Just don't know whether to pull the trigger on ADM or not!! Been wrecking my head all week.

    I'm in a similar situation. Have used to 1FT to switch Costa to Pelle. Just can't decide whether to go ADM to Eriksen with the second FT!

    I feel it will be an 11:28 Saturday morning transfer if I do it!

    Well you can't have everyone :P I'm in the same situation; afraid to move away from the template midfield. I've been thinking of shifting Sterling on but the fact that he's all Liverpool have at the moment is making me keep him.

    What I'd do is look at the fixtures over the next 4-5 weeks and then back whoever is likely to return more.

    ADM:
    Chelsea (H)
    Man City (A)
    Crystal Palace (H)
    Arsenal (A)
    Hull (H)

    Eriksen:
    Newcastle (H)
    Aston Villa (A)
    Stoke (H)
    Hull (A)

    Everton (H)

    While ADM has two prime fixtures to score highly, I think the Chelsea and City games are going to be too tight for him to have much influence.
    Eriksen has a nice run and, in my opinion, will match ADM's return at a minimum.

    Jeez, I'm almost convincing myself to get switch him out now :eek:

    On top of this, there is the price difference. For me, there's a 2.1m difference and that could make a big difference throughout the rest of the team.

    Personally i'd go with Terry. May get a clean sheet and also a threat at set pieces to grab a goal.

    Just had a look there and seen Palace have scored in 6 out of 8 FPL games this season. Also scored in 3 from 4 away games. I fancy both West Brom and Palace to score in that game.

    Which 3 of the following 5 defenders would you start this week:

    Bertrand (H) v STK
    Taylor (H) v LEI
    Wisdeom (H) v CRY

    Filipe Luis (A) v MUN

    Bertrand, Taylor, Chambers for me, I'd fancy Arsenal at the back at Sunderland more than WBA home to Palace
