I hadn't read that article, or any of those articles, this forum is enough/too much ...If Baines' passes keep failing that'd be great, I'll allow him the odd successful one as long as Seamie is at the end of it don't think doubling up on them down the line is a bad idea either.

I was tempted once my Saints double up dries up, but I'm not sure I would want double Everton for Spurs A, Man City A, Southampton A within five matches.

Montero looked good yesterday against Arsenal, he was running rings arounds Chambers. Does anyone know much about him?

I have 5.7 to spend on a midfielder and I'm thinking about getting him in for Swanseas nice run of games.

Anyone considering Ox Chamberlain? I know seems a bit crazy looking at his returns but to me he's looked v dangerous lately and good potential for points

I haven't watch too much of Arsenal, but they seem to lack confidence at the minute - since the game against Anderlecht. They seem to be not taking their chances. I have Sanchez and I feel that a second Arsenal attacker is overkill.

Dr. Bre

ben davies on my watchlist

FHFC

Can't remember which thread we eh we're discussing Robbie Brady on, and a few have already gone with him and relieved to see him start as well as Robertson vs Spurs. However I've just read on FFS that Mo Diame was out injured and due to return for the United game. He has been their LM and I thought Brady ahead got the nod ahead of him for spurs.

If he returns it effectively a Brady or Robertson situation again, and vs United I'd expect Bruce to go with the recognised full back.

Still on the watchlist Robbie.

I'm actually considering diame as my 5th midfielder upgrade from Marney for the Xmas . If i recall hull have decent Xmas games and I think I want to go with 8 attacking options I'm happy with to cover rotation

Hasn't Diame been playing in the hole?

Left of a three man middle with wing backs is how it's usually presented on ffs I think. But in practice you could well be right. The formation was changed for Spurs though so who knows.

Swansea (h) 20/12 ; Sunderland (a) 26/12 ; Leicester (h) 28/12 ; Everton (h) 01/01. :cool:.

But how can you be sure that your players won't be dropped for the same game? Is it just a matter of reducing the risk by having an extra decent player?

Ye the idea is to have an extra decent player and hope they don't all get rotated at the same time. Diame would be on my bench but would come in if any of the main front 7 miss out. They are decent fixtures for Hull .

Leicester at home the only game that stands out in terms of goal scoring potential there for me, but yeah as 1st sub you could do worse, I'm looking at a 5th mid option for this period and he's definitely an option

Mr.Prodston

Leicester's Matty James is another cheap as chips 4.4 mid to add to the list. Been getting his 90 minutes now that he's back fit and if I recall peppered a few shots at goal last weekend. Unless something happens Boyd though he's got some work to do. I've got an eye on him though

Once Sturridge and another(?) forward are back up front for Liverpool I'd say he'll be rotated with Sterling, Lallana, Allen, and Markovic to an extent. He'll average 60ish minutes for most of the rest of the season. And he doesn't score enough goals for the amount of shots he takes.

he was an unattractive fpl proposition b4, due to a combination of being regularly rotated and being played out of position; he's now a regular starter and playing in his favorite position the role-in-the-hole (definitely his best position i.m.o.), so his prospects are much improved. remains to be seen how Sturridge's return will affect the shape, but the here and now is where the points are at and for now i think Coutinho is an excellent option

He is a good option till Sturridge returns so hopefully it pays off

Young out for 'many weeks'. Luke Shaw should be nailed on for Uniteds decent fixtures in Jan. I think I may have found my Zab replacement till WC and possibly beyond.

Not sure why you would go with Shaw over Jones?

I think Shaw would have been playing anyway.

Jones is/was a Bonus magnet for united, but the thing is they only have 6 clean sheets so far this season, and 4 were against teams in the bottom 6, fortunately they play QPR, Leicester and Burnley in 3 of the next 5 games.

Shaw's playing time could be affected when Rojo gets back fit.

dahat

Jones or De Gea are the best options on Its defence. .

Rafael would be great but not sure LVG is too keen on him especially with the Coleman interest.

Rooney in midfield is affecting Jones' CBIs now. Never a good sign when both goalkeepers take bonus in a 0-0 draw. I still wish I had him over Zabaleta for the next three matches :rolleyes:

To explain my thinking a bit more, I'd be looking at this as mainly a pre wildcard punt. Shaw started as wing back vs Stoke afaik, didn't see game so correct me if I'm wrong. Young has been lauded as being in excellent form in that position so Shaw starting every game wouldn't have been a cert IMO, but is now.

The last full Utd game I saw was their 1-0 win over Palace and Shaw was excellent and could have scored 2. If he plays WB against Southampton I think I'll go with him for games v QPR (a) and Leicester (h) till WC.

It may then be tempting to hold onto him for February when Utd have Burnley and Sunderland in their next 2 home games.

Edit. Oh, and finally, having a high team value gives me more scope to take this kind of punt, not to mention having Kane in front for now. I've 4.4m in the bank for Pete's sake, Zab to Shaw would give me another 0.8!

dahat

Young has been great bit what has he returned FF wise?

Shaw will return similar IMO which wasn't a great deal

The difference is Shaw is a defender, you'd hope he can expect a few clean sheets from those fixtures hopefully, whereas an assist or a goal will be a bonus and a huge differential. No point comparing Young and Shaw FPL wise, it's more a case as the a lads said above of why you'd spend the extra 0.5 on Shaw over Jones.

For 3 games maybe but at 5.7 he would want to return assist/goal points for me personally.

Chesty08

Leicster's Mahrez at 4.9 (midfielder) & Schlupp 4.5 (defender) have been two that have bend added to my list.

Mahrez could easily of scored 3 & had 1 or 2 assists v Luverpool.

Scored the winner v Hull

Had been looking really dangerously previously and it looks like he has found his feet. Also is their free kick taker.

I can see Leicster going on a decent run too.

With the return of Studge & Aguero imminent could be an excellent way to double on both along with a Costa or Falcao.

Schlupp on the other hand is a defender playing LF who I mentioned before.

Chris Baird 3.9m.....started last 2 games...Tony Pulis and his magic hat...could free up some funds for Wildcard. Am I alone thinking this?

No it's something I've had half an eye on as well. I'm getting nervous about Wisdom's gametime anyway whoever claims the spot.

OneColdHand

Speaking of Pulis, I'm considering Foster in goal. I have Guzan, and after this week, he has a nasty enough run. Foster on the other has has good fixtures (apart from Man C awat) right up to GW34, when they have a pretty horrible last 5.

Me either, us later wildcarders will probably be saved by his pricefreeze when his red flag is removed though. Fixtures aren't favourable just yet either.

Lucas Hood

Divock Origi is being brought back early from his loan deal at Lille to Liverpool. Depending on price he way may be an option.

Lucas Hood

Di Maria is playing up front at the moment. Worth keeping an eye on.
