That's a very good score. I may be wrong on this but there doesn't seem to be a 2447 place at the moment, it jumps from 2413 to 2469. What's your team id?

Yeah it updated, and no, since my actually name is on it!

Initially injured on April 1st but atletico used injections to get him through the rest of the season, They were in the running for the league,spanish cup and champions league at that stage. Went to the World Cup unfiit then got a 2 week break before a full pre season with Chelsea.

Had a lot going against him... Atleticos reliance on him, Spain's need for him which didn't work out and a pre season to settle into a new club.

Ah jaysus lads my head is fried trying to figure out what to do with Sterling! On the one hand he's been performing well but on the other hand Liverpool have been playing poorly for the last month or so and Sturridge is gonna be out for another while. Oh what to do...

Is Costa to Pelle crazy to be considering?

479. Ranking is fairly irrelevant right now anyway with bout 80% of the season still to go. I was sitting at 870k this time last year so it's all relative

was just wondering! he seems to know alot id say his fairly high up! im 2,447 i was higher tho

If you're an experienced and good player (there are many of them on here, I am not one btw) then you'd probably know better than using your ranking at this stage of the season as some sort of measurement of knowledge, ability, whatever.

I'm at 57k but will probably drop down a fair bit tomorrow and I'm probably ahead of many players on here that will ultimately finish higher a lot higher than me.

I'm glad you got to mention your ranking though. No one took the bait last night when you asked so I'm happy that itch is gone for you.

Relax man i was only asking.. you seem as if u know alot so i was thinkin ud be fairly high up! no need to take offense to everything its only a game!

kronsington

Not sure what to do with transfers this week.. Have 2.. Already have Forster in goal and Alderwiereld so might ditch him for another 5m defender or a 4.5 and upgrade sterling to someone like silva- Walcott is in my sights for when he's fit soon

We were talking about Sterling :pac:.

That said very interesting that you reminded all of us the whole story about Diego Costa fitness. He may well need a break right now to come back fully fit. Will Mourinho give it to him? We'll probably never know.

but on a side note "You're talking to a lad that was claiming last night that Falcao is currently a must have." and that lad is leaving you for dust!! :pac: :cool:

I'm very relaxed I'm sitting on 97 points with 2 to play, I'm relaxed and great (this week)

The real people how know a lot will tell you that rankings at this stage of the season mean very little.

To draw this to a close, I support United, I hope & think that Falcao could be very good this year, he could easily start banging them in from tomorrow onwards but for him to become a must have realistically it'll take at least 2 weeks of double figure points.

Fair enough if you think he's a must have. But he doesn't currently fall into the general parameters of a "must have" that the masses use, the 2 main ones being an extremely high ownership and a top point scorer in his position (previous actual scores rather than hunches).

OneColdHand

I think I'll be going Sterling out for Tadic.

I have 0.0m in the bank, so am a bit hamstrung by that. Bring in Tadic will free up about 1.0m. I have Duff Wisdom and Moore at the back and could do with strenghtening one of them. I don't necessarily think Tadic will outscore Sterling, but for me it's a of Tadic and someone like Kaboul probably outscoring Sterling and Moore.

Thats very true, i reckon he ll do fairly well tomorrow, you ve good points aswell tho! to each there own ! i was only throwin out my opinion! we ll agree to disagree !

Dubliner28

Ivanovic out.Coleman in Evertons horrible run is over.

you can know A LOT about the game and still make AWFUL decisions

kronsington

now i am thinking about sterling/alderweireld to eriksen/jags for 2-3 weeks and then switching eriksen to walcott with jags back to 4.5 defender. thoughts?

I had similar thoughts myself. Eriksen is hitting top form now with a good run of fixtures, at 7.8m he's great value. Jagielka is a relatively cheap way into the Everton defence but I think I'd prefer to get Baines. How I'm going to get him is another matter. I may end up dumping Di Maria and Clyne to fund the Baines transfer. There are so many different moves I'm pondering atm though I think I'll take a break from it all and revisit it after the midweek European games.

yeah i have di maria as well, although i will not be releasing him. he is too valuable imo and i think some utd attacking cover is needed.

so if i go with those two transfers the team for this week will be:

Forster
Jags Wisdom Duff
Eriksen Fab ADM Siggy
Aguero (c) welbeck costa

boys azpi moore

I suppose you're right. That would be a solid team, only thing you're missing is Southampton attacking cover.

tom_k

I'm really thinking of Azpi to Jagielka. That's two goals and 6 bonus he's got so far and at the attractive price of 5.5.

Defenders seem to be where it's at for Everton attacking cover

HighClass

Ulloa - Pelle
OShea - Jagielka
Silva - Moses

4 point hit. Not bringing Kun into the team, probably a stupid idea but I'll have to cut up my midfield or sell Falcao to bring him in. Will see how Falcao settles in the next few weeks and I can do a swap if I need to.

zl1whqvjs75cdy

Swapped Courtois (sp?) and Welbeck for Pelle and Forster. Awful lot of southhampton in my team now but they seem to be in form and the prices for those two are only going one way. Can swap back if necessary.

Last season he said Terry and Cech were gone for the season after the first CL semi final leg against Athletico. Both played in the second leg!

SantryRed

I'm gonna be holding on to Costa anyways. Can lose 0.1 on him before it effects me, but I honestly don't think he'll be out for long considering he played against Luxembourg and scored too!

I do think he has a suspension coming soon though.

KevIRL

I wonder if 2 4.4 Mids might be a viable strategy for a few weeks. Hmmmm

GiftofGab

So need advise badly. See attached my team.

I got 0.3 in the bank and need to replace Ulloa.

I cant afford Welbeck or Pelle.

Would Sakho be a good option?

Is Azpil would replacing for a -4 hit??

How much do you need to get Welbeck? Ulloa and Azpil out, for Welbeck plus someone at around 4.5m could be worth a -4 hit alright. The problem is picking players at that price that will keep cleanies. Kaboul/Rose might be ideal, but your budget might not stretch to that.

This has crossed my mind (albeit a 4.4 and a 5.5)

Where would you use the extra $$$s out of interest? Baines + Ivanovic?

Fabregas to Sanchez and Siggy to 5.9 mid is what I am looking at.
Already have Boyd.

Diame was my first thought,seriously cheap given where he plays.

Sterling

> Cadli
Williams

> Baines

probably a tad unnecessary but have a good bit of breathing room in all my leagues so decided to treat myself to two transfers

bezuaua

Current team:
Forster | Eliott
Azpi | Wilson | Taylor | Moore | Duff
Fabregas | Sterling | Siggy | Di Maria | Marney
Aguero | Costa | Pellè


2FT for GW9 and happy with team, neverthless, Azpi’s 3 game ban will open the door to Baines – Burnley (A); Swansea (H); Sunderland (A); West Ham (H).
To do this 1 of the premium midfielders has to go… my choice is sterling (pool were caotic and all the issues with him being tired… in need of a rest…), allowing me to choose between:

Chadli – Newcastle (H); Villa (A); Stoke (H); Hull (A)
or
Tadic – Stoke (H); Hull (A); Leicester (H); Villa (A); following City/Arsenal/United

I already have 2 southampton players and it might be a little “too much”…
Any opinions/considerations will be most welcome!

I've had two 4.4 for the last 3 Gw - can't decide what to do with the extra cash though - Boyd and cork both scored this GW

Antibac

Am I mad to do Azpilicuelta out Bertrand in and Schneiderlin out and Diame in?

Cheers, didn't know that.

I've done sterling, ulloa and DDG out for Chadli, pellé and lloris. Only my second pts hit of the year, but Spurs should slaughter Newcastle, and sterling had to go to fund pellé.

Lemlin

He has looked decent alright but so has Downing. Both Hull and West Ham are scoring goals.

Wombatman

Costa situation is squad rotation plain and simple.

Trust your squad.

Give him a well earned rest against minnows Palace and Maribor.

If he is not back for Man United I'll eat my jocks.

sheroman01

Which is stronger, to keep option 1 or take a -4pt hit for option 2:

1. Keep Sterling, Wilson and Ulloa

2. Bring in Obertan, Baines and Wellbeck.

Option 2 does seem attractive and I can afford to take a 4pt hit.

Nerdlingr

Jagielka or Rose??? Dunno which to go with.
Have to use 2 FT to get in Jags, only 1 to get in Rose.
