Is Giroud definitely out for 3 months or is that still rumour mill?
Also any word on Schurrle's injury, don't mind haven't one of them injured for this GW, but don't really want the 2 of them.

Doesn't look good in the short term re Schurrle.

Schurrle has only recently linked back up with the Chelsea squad after being granted an extended break following his excursions for Germany in their victorious World Cup winning campaign, but had made a seamless start to the Premier League campaign after netting in the opener against Burnley.

He is now a major doubt to face Everton at Goodison Park next weekend after suffering an as yet unspecified leg injury, forcing Jose Mourinho to shuffle his pack again, with Willian likely to be granted a place in the team, while Mohamed Salah is a further option for the Blues.

Yeah I know. Ramsey is a viable captaincy option this week I think. A nice rest tomorrow too and it's games like Leicester away that he can come into his own.

Part of my brain tells me if I don't act tonight then I can't make the transfer and it's out of my hands. But that's the part that probably told me Yaya was not going to be in my team ever

Hadn't really been considering Rambo. Just getting used to owning him.

Have you bought Jovetic yet FHFC?

I'm having my doubts creep in over the riskiness of a bandwagon with only one promising fixture on the horizon in an extremely rotational team that has Aguero and Dzeko ahead of him....

Yes I feel dirty with all this new found sense. In saying that Weimann is my back up :pac:

Also I have not yet got Lemlin's permission!

Yea saw that website - but it crashed twice when I tried to open it, and it's not really mentioned anywhere else (I'm not on twitter) so just seeing had anyone heard anything concrete, giroud for example news broke first on twitter I think.

There doesn't seem to be much info about the injury at all. I guess the best way to find out definitively is to hear Jose's presser on Friday.

Feck it! Might as well just do it and stop thinking about it, should work well enough this week anyway. It's future Mr. P's problem then :pac:

Fletcher for Jovetic and lash the arm band on him as well? too early for gambles? for a 4pt hit though

Mainly on the basis of your Mick McCarthy GIF I have also decided to give it a bash. I love Mick McCarthy GIFs. They are the best thing about the Internet.

Well at least that's settled, we can blame Mick if it all goes wrong

Last call on the Jovetic express tonight. All aboard. Destination: Unknown.

Now there's a novel idea. Why didn't I think of that.

Mr P, after your last post I feel strangely like I've just met Paul McGrath in my local and convinced him that one wee half would be no harm....

Late to the party it seems.....sure lets gamble then..why ever not!

PARlance

Fab -> Silva

Team in good shape, have 0.1 in the bank from Fab and my sights are set on Hazard soon.

Silva near (possibly) his first rise and well... Stoke at home vs Everton away is tastier.

dahat

Done, reckless maybe, silly maybe but it could just work... Just maybe.

Am really tempted to do it now too after a few beers...damn ye all :pac:

Not worth it for that team at all, for me.

Guzan? Really?
Lovren->Clichy
Bruce->Dummett
Rooney->Aguero
Long-> Berahino

Those transfers do not a wildcard make. There's doubts over Aguero and Clichy starting. Long should out score Betahino and Guzan's fixtures are well. Awful.

I understand the City influx but if it were me I'd try and squeeze one in and maybe reassess next week?

I don't mean to sound harsh either, it's not a bad team and holding off another week might be better

Can't see a massive improvement in your team really: if it's centred around getting Aguero in (which is too early for me) then why not make 2 transfers
Rooney -> Aguero
Long -> Naismith
You'll have enough with the 0.7 in the bank.

The only other changes are
Clichy: may be subject to a bit of rotation v Lovren: bad start but I doubt it'll be too long before they tighten up
Bruce v Dummet: not a priority I'd say... Use a FT to do it next week.
Guzan (and Villa) aren't suddenly world beaters, I'd opt for Krul myself and wouldn't see it as a priority.... Begovic prob won't be keeping a clean sheet this week but there's no guarantee others will.

Edit: What Mr. P said... We're getting fierce sensible(ish)

I take it you're gonna play 3-4-3 or 4-4-2. I would suggest swapping Berahino for Naismith to save half a million. No point having double Villa defence, have you seen their upcoming fixtures?! I am going for the Krul Elliot combo atm which is the cheapest option and I think it would be better than Guzan Myhill. I wouldn't want Clichy in my team, too much rotation with Kolarov for my liking. Clyne instead of Clichy and Neil Taylor instead of Vlaar imo. If going with the 2 Newcastle keepers, change Dummett to Moore of Leicester. Chadli is another major rotation risk. Don't be put off by his mega haul last weekend, that won't happen very often. I would think Lamela or Eriksen are safer picks from the Spurs midfield so you could go with one of them. I don't think El Ahmadi is getting much gametime at Villa so a better 4.5 mid would be Marney or Wanyama.

Hope this helps.

Maybe your right might see what happens if i hang on to get 2 fts see who might hit a bit of form then

Why in the world would you ever trade Rooney?

Yes, and I should have transferred Mata out last week

There's only so many 9m midfielders that'll fit in.

Big Borg wrote: »

You might want to ask the guy that's transferring him out now as opposed to me.

But I'll have no problem upgrading him to Aguero in a few weeks time if Aguero is back and fit.

Sorry. Aguero is a great player but soooo delicate. Rooney is a bulldog and so talented.

Oh and Pelle scored tonight too, it's peaked my interest with my need for a forward 7.9 or less. But then Jovetic. It's quite the pickle...

The best gif of all time (well second best, the same gif with "I fingered a lass today - have you?" as the caption trumps it).

Another one here for the Jovetic bandwagon. Took a minus 4 hazard and Fletcher out Marney and Jovetic in. Marney will now be my cheap non playing sub in a 3 4 3 so this move should help me delay my wildcard and move towards a big front 3. Will only be keeping Jovetic 1 wk and will upgrade him to either ade sturridge or Aguero for next gw.

dahat

Do that 4 on the Jovetic wagon then? I feel like I did wrong last night, hope it works out tbh.

Bet Pellegrini trolls us all and leaves him on the bench.

Who have people transferred out for Aguero?

I have the funds to upgrade Rooney or Costa but I'm reluctant to swap out either.

No rush, Rooney has good fixture and Aguero is still finding fitness, a few weeks to decide.

Relax. We got our first price rise in last night, it's all going according to plan.

I know you're gonna have a very strong team still but that -4 sounds good to me. Now I just have to pray that Dzeko gets a clean bill of health.

Got Jovetic with one of my FT's, expect a 2nd rise after this

Giroud still owned by 540k people - 144k transfers out this week, with Jovetic on +156k for the week.

Your looking good for the win 4 pts up already and the added boost of a wildcard. As a fellow stone roses fan I wont begrudge you an opening win .

I'm on -8 already because I'm an idiot at 1am, if I use my wildcard now to go all out do I still lose the 8 points?

No. All transfers in the week are free.

Weekly transfer done last night. Had to dump Hoilett before a price fall and got in Cattermole before his rise. Money saving exercise for a bench player. I usually wait until Friday night but needed to keep the finances up.

Still not too happy with my defence but no need to panic yet. I had a slow enough start last year but made up a 75 point deficit by keeping my WC until DGW in last quarter of the season.

Krul (Elliot)
Chambers P Jones Clyne (Pieters Baird)
Siggy Mata Fab Eriksen (Cattermole)
Rooney (c) Sturridge Dzeko

In the next few weeks I can see Chambers and Baird definitely being transferred. Eriksen and all my forwards are on thin ice too. Too early to completely tear it apart though.

Team value £100.0m Bank £0.4m

Can anyone suggest a replacement for Bojan?? I've an extra 2M in the bank so have 7.5M to play with.

I've been thinking about the below but im not sure:

Naismith (5.1) - Is he likely to play 90mins with Everton having signed Eto?
Rivière (7.0) - Newcastle have a good run of fixtures so could bag a few goals??
Pellè (7.5) - Southampton have a good run of fixtures + Pellè has a good goal scoring record?

Jutkiewicz 5 million if you were interested in going 3 5 2. He seems to have nailed down a place .

Definate WC possibilities as Burnley had a tough start so they will improve. Bound to get a goal or two before long.

Karma25

Wildcarded and have a problem do I go with Silva/ Rooney or Sturridge / Lamela I'm thinking long term at the moment I understand Sturridge has a tough fixture and Lamela is playing Liverpool but there will be goals I imagine.

My Team
Loris / Krul
Robertson / clyne / dummet / hutton
Lamela / Siggy / Hazard / Ramsey / Albrightion
Adebayor / Sturridge / Costa

I'm wondering if Sanogo is worth a sneaky punt? Wenger seems to like him. If Arsenal don't sign anyone else he's bound to get some game time, especially with Sanchez seemingly taking a bit of time to settle down. Only 4.9m

Pelle scored last night and Koeman was praising him I think and suggesting he'll push on and continue scoring. Plus they have decent fixtures on paper. Of course 7.5 is a premium for the "cheaper forwards range".

If I didn't bring Jovetic in last night I think I'd have been going for Pelle on Friday. (I had 7.9 to spend so my hand was forced now that Jovetic went up to 8 last night)

Sanogo - This a very interesting choice. I never thought about this but with Giroud supposed to be out for a few months he could get a good bit of game time. Arsenal do need a strong centre forward who can hold the ball up so he could get a few assists. Im not sure he would score that many (Anytime I've seen him I would bet against him scoring) but for 4.9M what can you expect.

I'll watch the Arsenal game this evening to see if he start's + what Wenger says about bringing in another forward.

Yeah he's yellow flagged at the minute I think. So I'll definitely be holding off him until at least at this weekend. But I also have Bojan, and that transfer would bank me 0.5m (I'm assuming Bojan will have gone down by 0.1m by the time I get rid of him).

I think FPL were very unfair to him bringing him in at 7.5. Already established forwards in the PL like Long, Jelavic and Fletcher are available for far less at mid-table teams.
