Costa was the right choice last GW but yeah it's time to board the good ship Robin again

I did not take my own advice
convinced myself it was heart over head as I also had Rooney

To get RVP I have to go with the Siggy/Bony combo for a week.

I was all set for Yaya and Bony but today's game changes everything.....

shreddedloops

Looking at Cahill -> Chester and Siggy -> Silva

Hull have a nice run of games and Silva could be the main scoring threat for City at the moment.

Anyone else opting for Silva?

IsMiseMyself

Hm. Not quite sure what to do now.

Chadli has to go, first and foremost.

However, I really liked the look of RVP today and they play Villa next. I might go useless Chadli to Downing and Bony to RVP. There's also the option of going Chadli to Downing and getting City coverage with Siggy to Silva/Yaya. I dunno.

yeah just done it myself

Costa and Siggy out for RVP and Downing maybe. Still want a city defender and a Chelsea defender too. Hmmmm.

It says on FPL that he is suspended until 20th Dec. I thought he was sent off for 2 yellows? Do they have it wrong?

QPR haven't played this GW yet so his ban technically hasn't been served. He will be back next weekend.

Ziegler1988

Austin(c) or RvP(probs c) in is now the question. Still can't look beyond Austin's immense home form and 6.5m cheaper price tag atm. ManU always do well at Villa Park though......

internet_user

just realised i can do cattermole to silva.may do that instead and keep tadic for the christmas games, giving me a decent front 8 should someone get rested.

Nib

I was all set for Mata and Tadic out for Sanchez and Downing. Not sure what to do now.

I can afford Tadic to Sanchez.

MarkSRFC21

Done aguero->giroud and Henderson->Hazard.
Hopefully giroud gamble pays off, and Henderson to hazard was a no brainer.

Team for next week is

Howard
Wisdom janmaat clyne
Siggy hazard fab Sanchez
Austin Costa giroud

Subs: chambers, Hutton, Boyd, Krul.

Not yet decided on a captain. Anything I should change?

Nice team! Only thing I reckon you need is City cover, they have very attractive fixtures coming up. So maybe take Fab out and bring in Silva or Nasri (or Yaya if you can afford him.)

sheroman01

Sanchez in for Chadli but then only have 6.7m left for a striker. Any recommendations? Kane, Austin?

Menas

I need to get rid of Dzeko. Probably for Bony or Rooney.
Siggy is also a possibility to be canned for a -4.
Or perhaps Chambers.

Much to think about!

Yeah was thinking that myself., although I want to keep fab. I've made two transfers so don't want a -8, but next week I'll see what I can do to get some city cover. Might see if I can do clyne->mangala/demichelis

Well that's a no brainer!

Thinking about taking another hit this week now:

Costa to RVP
Siggy to Downing

Or should I just hold Siggy for another week? He has Hull away while Downing has Leicester at home...

SantryRed

This game is seriously tempting me to go Costa -> Kane.

direct replacement for chadli?
already have sig and downing .

Chadli and Benteke OUT, Sanchez and Kane IN - Done! Finally have Sanchez

Erikson --> Hazard barring injury in the meantime.

Alright he's saved himself, siggy to hazard instead don't want two from the swans

I'm thinking Costa and Siggy out for RVP and Yaya.

Why are so much getting rid of Costa after he scored this weekend?

Yellow cards and lack of bonus points

Yellow card magnet. Rotation risk. No bonus points. Chelsea attacking cover already with Hazard and/or Fabregas. RVP is well and truly back in form.

Lemlin

You can only get three Chelsea players. Terry and Hazard are two of mine. I reckon Fab or even a second defender are better options than Costa at the minute.

He started well but has tapered off. A 5 point return home to Hull isn't good enough for a 10 million plus striker.

G1032

Can anyone tell me how Silva played yesterday?
I need City attacking cover but if I also get RVP then Yaya in will involve selling Baines and a minus 8. Silva could be my answer to City cover instead.

extra gravy

RVP will rise tonight according to Fantasy Football Fix. Don't like doing early transfers but have no spare funds and no players playing tomorrow night so think I will just go for it.

jive

Liam Moore -> Ben Davies I think. £4.4 for a Spurs defender is good value and he has an attacking threat

dahat

Cooling off period after today's games and my main concern is getting Bony in.

Costa out Bony in.

Will likely get Silva in as well but will wait to see if he is ok after his comeback games.

no12

Chadli out for Eriksen. Then will have to try get Bony & RVP In

IsMiseMyself

Yaya or RVP? It's gonna be one or the other but who knows which one.

IanOBo

lads, how big of a rotation risk do ye think Clichy will be over the Christmas games?

Roonbox

Dzeko straight back out of my team for Giroud

Lemlin

IanOBo wrote: »

A huge one. Kolarov will get game time.

IanOBo wrote: »

He won't start either the 26th or 28th more than likely 28th if Kolarov is fit

menoscemo

Siggy out.
Yaya or Silva in...
which one?
Yaya is on pens and a more likely scorer, but is on 4 yellows.
Silva leaves me over 2 million to updgrade elsewhere where as Yaya breaks the bank.

Opinions?

Shedite27

Feel like I'm having the same debate I was having this time last week in looking at alternative strikers (went Dzeko last week!). Looking for someone to get me through 4 game weeks.

Options are:
- Giroud (worried he'll definitely get rotated one game over Christmas) - liv/QPR/whu/sou.
- Bony (I would then be on 3 Swansea players - too much?) - hul/AV/liv/qpr
- Benteke (Nice run of fixtures but it's still Villa) - MU/swa/SUN/PAL
- Jovetic (In theory he's their only fit senior striker, but still injury concerns) - PAL/wb/BUR/SUN

Can't afford Lukaku, Carroll and Pelle have bad fixtures.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Smartguy

Thinking of duff and siggy out for demichelis and silva.

Will give it a few days before doing anything.

I'm in a similar quandary. Either Siggy or Boyd out (probs Siggy since I'm not a fan of rotating attackers) and lead candidates to come in are Yaya or Eriksen.
From the Yaya vs. Silva choice I would go with Yaya. He won that battle handily last season and will be bombing forward with their dearth of strikers.

Slattsy

Austin or Giroud??
Im worried about having both Sanchez and Giroud though.

you won't be worried when GW18 rolls round

Slattsy

Ha true.
Austin was in good form for me though.

Ziegler1988

Imo, Giroud won't start every match over the festive period. Austin will

Ah no Austin is in good form and has nice fixtures. Giroud is in some form too it looks and up against a shaky Liverpool next and at home to QPR GW18. I'd favour Giroud slightly over the next 2 gameweeks, for GW19-20 Austin is probably a bit more favorable. Having both is always an option! Or get Giroud and swap out for Austin for GW19...

Costa to RVP done...may as well stick the armband on him too!
