I wouldn't WC with that team personally (mine is similar but with Costa). Cahill to Hutton and Dzeko to Costa for -4 would get my vote. Then next week do Rooney to Aguero

Cheers. Why Hutton though? Villa, although looking solid atm have some awful fixtures coming up.

I've wildcarded.

It's a week earlier than I wanted/planned all along, but with Debuchy's injury and wanting Aguero (which would have cost me -4 to get in) alongside players such as Terry really not proving to be worth the money and having difficult games next week, I felt it best to pull the trigger now.

I'm currently on the below:



Goalkeeper: Aside from Forster, I can't see any better options than Mignolet over the next ten weeks. Liverpool have a superb run coming up (although admittedly after today it doesn't always turn out that way) and rather than messing around with rotations etc I could just leave Mignolet in every week and not have to worry about it.

Defenders: STO/SWA and SUN/NEW rotate perfectly all season and have some nice games coming up. SOU also have superb games coming up and look solid enough. I'll play 3 of these every week, so will have at least 2 at home in any given gameweek and sometimes all 3.

Midfielders: They all speak for themselves, but I'd be slightly concerned about Sterling now with Lallana and Markovic there too. After today however, I'd imagine Rodgers might go straight back to Sterling. Boyd at £4.4m will play almost every week and you won't get a better sub at that price.

Strikers: Costa and Aguero speak for themselves. I'm tempted with Welbeck at £7m but with Pelle looking sharp I'll give him the opportunity to take advantage of Southampton's fixtures over the next few weeks before reviewing the third striker spot.

Bench: A £4.0m keeper, Boyd, and two of PvA/Collocini/Taylor/Wilson/Bertrand every week.

Any thoughts please?

Most nailed on 4.0/4.1m in my opinion and Villa have been the most solid in that bracket. Although I guess with the transfers I was proposing you can afford up to 4.7m downgrade from Cahill. So maybe someone more expensive if you want to start the next 4 GWs. I'm happy leaving Hutton on my bench for now, even though he did outscore Krul+Cahill+Barsley...

Krul - Elliot
Cahill - Clyne - Ferdinand - Naylor - Moore
Fab - Ramsey - Siggy - Sterling - Marney
Rooney - Dzeko - Ade

1 FT, 2.1 itb, wildcard available

Really tempted to wildcard right now. Selling Costa last gameweek has left me deflated. There are like 5 players there that need to be ditched realistically. What do you think folks, should I go ahead with the WC tonight?

Keeper wise - Newcastle aren't keep cleaning sheets - would bring in another option.

Defence - Cahill bit expensive - possible downgrade.

Midfield grand for the moment - If united click - may need to get someone.

Strikers - You'll know more tomorrow about Rooney, wouldn't be too concerned for now (or Rooney to Costa), I like Ade, so view may be bias but I would keep him, but Dzeko should be moved for someone like welbeck or pelle as they will play. Dzeko is a rotation risk.


All in all wouldn't be using the WC.

Thanks lads. I think I'll hang on to my wildcard then as the team isn't in a mess and only a few niggling issues here and there which can be rectified with a couple of transfers.

i'd avoid newcastle and sunderland if i where you ( more so newcastle), otherwise i think your bang on. maybe chester and another is a better option.

Agree with the comments about the Sunderland/Newcastle pairing not looking so hot anymore. PvA has disappointed me lately and Newcastle look awful at the back.

Also, would you not have another 0.1 to go for Lloris over Mig, don't know if Liverpool's defence warrants investment.

Probably gonna play mine too this week. Made some rash decisions lately and need a clean slate....

Did Fletcher to Pelle last night as there was a risk Fletcher could drop. Absolutely delighted to see the back of Fletcher. I was always going to replace him this week (had been tempted to do points hit to get rid of him last week but benched him instead).

Couldn't really see a suitable candidate to replace him, and was toying with the idea of Welbeck until Pelle's audition yesterday. Added bonus of some nice upcoming fixtures for Southampton. My team has managed to shape up nicely without having to use my wildcard, but having only Krul as GK is a bit of a problem.

Have 1.8m in the bank to do Rooney to Aguero next week, so I can only afford max of a 0.1m swing on their prices. Kind of need a performance from rooney to halt his NTO, even though many have him captained.

Good chance that Fletcher will drop after not playing, Pelle 2M more though. That Ulloa(spelling?) of Leicester seems alright for 5.5.

Yeah Ulloa has gone under the radar a bit alright, but I had the cash so splashed it on Pelle. Southampton look good again this year - albeit Newcastle make most teams look good.

As an aside, if (when) Pardew gets sacked, Newcastle's players might become a bit more valuable. Their defense just doesn't look up to scratch though, Pardew or no Pardew. Williamson was laughably bad yesterday.

That they do and with Rodriguez to come back from injury whenever, think Clyne rose last night, have Jones to shift before he drops.

Wonder who will replace Pardew, team with low expectations would be an easy route back to management for Moyes.

As a krul owner I'd love pulis.

Team is okay but just messing around to see what team I could get with wildcard with it be worth sacrificing my defence for this team
Krul gilks

Pva wisdom Bruce dummett Hutton
Routledge sterling di maria fabregas bridcutt
Aguero costa falcao

Attacking just looks so sexy

IsMiseMyself

That defence is a disaster waiting to happen.

Replace Bruce and Dummett with duff and moore and that defence is fine.

Looking at Rafael in for Debuchy if he plays today, opinions?

Flecktarn

Krul >Forster
Terry > Cissokho
Debuchy > Taylor

-8 point hit to free up a lot of cash. Opinions?

See how Utd's defence work out today first, but on paper its a good move

Spending 8 points on defensive transfers is lunacy, the kind of lunacy we like though, so please go right ahead

Considering 3 of 4 of my defensive players have garnered at measly 0 points between the three of them I think it's needed.

Eldoco

Regarding the Rafael transfer he will be fighting for his place with Valencia so could be subject to roatation .

I don't get the love for Newcastle defensive players at all.
Krul should go.
Bruce/dummett not guarantee game time so get rid.
The likes of Pocognoli or Mariappa both 4.4 and should get their games, west brom manager loves Pocognoli from a quick search of google

Dunno anything about Bridcutt, but from what I can see he only played 12 mins, Boyd or Cork would be better option - same price and should be guaranteed 90 mins (Boyd for sure)

I really like Routledge and at 5.5 is value imo.

Rest of team

Gonna transfer out injured Debuchy. Who's the best 5.5m defender to replace him?

Clyne, Jagielka, Lovren ect...

Chambers could be a good option at 4.5m, should replace Debuchy in the team. Too lazy to check Arsenal's fixtures.

Seems like a direct replacement, and cheaper. I like having 1 defensive player from each of last seasons top 4. Think I'll go with Chambers alright.

Should I WC? Notable changes Sterling out, Aguero in. Wellbeck good idea? And Dumping Terry.

No need to double up on Spurs midfielders. You're also going to have a headache picking your starting 7 attackers every week. Trebling up on Southampton defence is also excessive.
