Aaron Creswell got another assist yesterday and is now 5.4. After I upgrade Duff to Chambers, I am thinking about changing Taylor to Creswell to leave me with a defence of Kaboul, Chambers, Creswell, Moore and Wisdom.

I'm thinking very similar. I've said it before, but as an admittedly biased WHU fan, Cresswell looks like a young Baines, he is fantastic going forward.

He's caught my attention too.
I'll be having a look at United's defence over the next few weeks to see if there's any signs of improvement, if so, Jones at 5.3 will challenge Creswell.

I'm going to keep an eye on Jones' bps points, I fear a switch to 4 at the back will result in a lot less of them for Jones. He was mopping them up before injury but I think that was largely due to him being giving a role where he was getting up and down the RHS as part of a back 3.

West Ham have a good run coming up so I'd expect a few clean sheets in it.

Cresswell is one of the first names on my list for the WC

Just toyed with 5 or 6 transfers for my wildcard and I'm not sure using it at the moment makes my team any stronger. Want to keep my front 3 of Aguero, Costa and Pelle. Also want to keep Fab and ADM, so there's very little wiggle room for me after that.

might just make a simple transfer of Duff to Cresswell/someone else for this week and see where that takes us

I've some transfers I need to make but am happy with the bulk of my team. But every week it seems is going to be a "will I won't I" so I'm nearly tempted to use it for the sake of it.

Would need to be making at least 5 or 6 transfers to warrant it though. Chances are there will be weeks where I'm more stuck so may hold for now.

Shedite27 · 26-10-2014 7:42pm

Should Ivanovic be credited with a CS this week? It was 1-0 when he was sent off.

From the rules:
Red Cards

If a player receives a red card, they will continue to be penalised for goals conceded by their team.
Red card deductions include any points deducted for yellow cards

Mr.Prodston · 26-10-2014 9:00pm

A simple question on the face of it:

Who is the best keeper to have going forwards that isn't Courtois?

On form and fixtures you'd have to say Forster.

I agree. 5 clean sheets I think he has now. I plan to hold him and see how he does even in their tougher fixtures.

Lemlin · 27-10-2014 12:19am

Interesting stat from MoTD on Twitter:

@BBCMOTD: Leighton Baines now has 28 assists since the start of 2010-11 – 14 more than any other defender in that time #MOTD2 http://t.co/Pi9XTj4d67

He's safe for the next 2 games. No way are they getting it done before Liverpool away

chickendinner · 28-10-2014 3:55am

Fate, I dont believe in the word. 4 weeks ago I had hit the sauce too hard and paid the iron price
In trainspoting that ceiling baby is no joke, to shiver in a hot bath is not a good sign
but there I was,

I was taking a break, and things were looking up, that job i dindt like
I was now spending more time at, that girl I dindt know still dindt know she didnt like me yet
The money I saved on sauce now was being spent on expensive,
look at me I am conscious about what goes into my body health foods
Within the confines of my fantasy mind I was in the zone, only my fantasy team within the real world reflected this.
There was too much Ironing so I decided to check on my fantasy football team

I knew I was crushing it, but decided to check out the overall leagues for the month of October
and there I was, Joint 1st with some guy from india.

After going over our teams to see it was a draw I felt much like this guy

Until I saw it,
He was hidden in the left hand corner on his bench
I imagined my Indian foe singing the Beatles in my mind All you need is one

What a kruel twist of fate.

He also won't be getting the op until Remy is back.

Backstreet Moyes · 28-10-2014 5:13pm

What's going on with Siggy he seems to be getting hauled off recently.

Bit the bullet and took out Sterling for Tadic also.

it's a funny aul' thing. chelsea are expected to win easy, but it's a derby and as i pointed out the majority of meetings between the sides in recent times have been very tight affairs. i watched QPR last night and they look much improved, their tails are up. they'll be going there to do a jose on jose. 0-0 anyone? :eek: i still expect chelsea to win but it could be one of those if it's 0-0 at h/t...... fecking statistics:pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

I consider to captain Sanchez at home to Burnley anyway.

8 points for Costa with Fabregas assist will do.

Just looking ahead from a Liverpool perspective and Sterling owners (and potentially Sturridge owners). In month of December Liverpool have 9 matches so expect a lot of rotation! Some important games there two especially 09.12 to 21.12.

02.12 Leicester (A)
06,12 Sunderland (H)
09.12 Basel (H)
14.12 Manu (A)
17.12/18.12 Bournemouth (A)
21.12 Arsenal (H)
26.12 Burnley (A)
29.12 Swansea (H)
01.01 Leceister (H)

On the Xmas period that liverpool swansea game is on the 29th everyone else plays the 28th after a full round of games on the 26th. 3 days between games instead of 2 days might see me double up on sterling sturridge if there form picks up. Aguero for example I can't see starting on the 28th at home to Burnley same happened last year when a fair few of us captained Dzeko for the 28th game.

manual_man · 30-10-2014 3:29pm

when is the Chelsea press conference?

Dice75 · 31-10-2014 10:17am

Who to bench?

Siggy (Everton A)
Eriksen (Villa A)
Sterling (Newcastle A)
Tadic (Hull A)
Di Maria (City A)

Playing 3 forwards with no double up on teams, leaning towards Siggy at the moment but not sure?

What 3 forwards are you playing out of interest?

edit: to answer your actual question, I'd go with Siggy too, probably.

Costa/Lukaku/Berahino

Obv Siggy comes in should Costa be out

I think your problem is you'll always have quite an expensive player on the bench. Of course it's nice to have options, but it ties up quite a bit of money.

For example, if you downgraded Siggy to a cheapie (boyd, for example) you could have Hazard instead of Sterling.

Plan on using WC at next international break to probably get Aguero in for Lukaku (who is only in short term in place of Falcao), Berahino was my cheapie bench option but can't drop him at the moment (Leicester Away this week)

NabyLadistheman · 31-10-2014 11:12am

Have many doubled up in Fabregas & Hazard? Fixtures are good over the next few weeks. I don't have Costa at the moment, mainly because of Welbecks fixture this weekend & Pelle's form overall means he is undroppable. I've a big call to make. It will be ADM on the chopping block if I go for it

Hazard, Fab and Costa for now. Hoping for a 7 or 8 nil win against QPR at least!

Each to their own, but I don't agree with this approach. I always like to have a sub that I'm happy to have come in (at the moment it's Seb Larsson), between Costa's injury, Cesc nearing a suspension, Sterling getting rested, you'd be surprised the amout of weeks he'll be called on. I know people got lucky earlier in the year with Boyd one week, but 9 time out of 10 that'll be a 2/3pts.

Yeah absolutely, there's definitely 2 approaches. I was one of the ones that got lucky with Boyd. But I do understand, and expect him to just get 2/3 each week. I think it's something you accept when you go for 4.4 cheapie!

I think earlier in the season players are less likely to be rested/suspended. As the season progresses upgrading my cheapie will be definitely something worth looking at, and I might do it before christmas.

I'm always one for the cheapie but have been thinking the same as yourself about upgrading soon due to a number of my players close to suspension and the fact there's 3 league games in a week at the start of dec and then Xmas.
