Can anyone tell me why Bentaleb is back starting for Spurs and if it's likely that he'll play both double GW matches?

Bentalab and Mason are the first choice CM pairing. So yes I would expect him to start. He was away at African cup of nations so that's why he missed some games last month.

No harm in doubling up on wba till gw33

Do we think Bellerin will play at the weekend?

Any chance of Chadli regaining a starting position for the DGW?

Is Haidara going to hold his place in the newcastle team ?

Don't think there's anyone fit to take his place

The Wild Bunch

I own both Sanchez and Cazorla.

Should I be looking to retain them both or ditch one?

It's 5am so I'm not exactly thinking as straight as I could be but I wouldn't be so sure about getting Austin in. His DGW I think are against Arsenal and Spurs. His form over the last 8 or 9 matches hasn't been that great either. I'm just not so sure he's that good an option and Giroud could easily outscore him in his one match.

Yeah I'm not sure either... But Arsenal have a hectic schedule ahead of them with Champions League & FA Cup games. Can't Giroud be rested at QPR (their easiest game in this period)? While Austin should play both games bar injury/suspensions.

Thing is Hazard, Sanchez, Aguero & Kane will stay in my team bar injury/suspension. This leaves me 1 spot upfront and 1 or 2 in midfield. Cazorla or ADM will probably make way for Eriksen. Lucas may be replaced with a GW27 player this week. So Giroud is my last possible DGW change. It should also allow me to end my 3 Arsenal player current strikeforce which I'm not fully happy with. The biggest problem is the one currently not performing is Sanchez.

Bertie? I'm thinking about bringing him in but am going to wait for news on Alderweireld. I'm also hesitant as Southamptons form will fall off v soon I think. It's fast becoming squeaky bum time!! I reckon we've got most of what we're going to get from Southampton defenders but in saying that it's still very very difficult to ignore their form so far this season. Alderweireld is not the same investment risk as Bertie

If Alder was fit he'll be straight in. I'm not set on Bertie since he'll use a lot of my spare cash and reduce my options upfront (if I want Sturridge or Costa at some point).

Dawsom could be a suspension risk. He's on 4 yellows according to the FPL site? Unless he previously got yellows in cup games ?

a suspension for 5 yellows was up a long time ago. He'd need to get 10 now to be at risk.

bezuaua

Almost resigned to field 10, 9 or even 8 players this GW…

Foster – CHECK

Bruce - CHECK
Bellerìn - ?
Toby - ?
PVA - ?

ADM – CHECK
Cazorla – CHECK
Lucas – this will be my transfer (need cheap playing MF)

Kun – CHECK
Pellè – CHECK

Myhill, Terry, Hazard, Eriksen, Kane - ALL OUT

Plan is taking a -4 the following DGW and get Austin (Pellè) and Rose (PVA).

Any toughts?

Stupidly took him out with the January wildcard because I thought the fixtures looked tough. He has killed me. He will be back in next week.

Probably not. Lamela is keeping him out of the team and even though Lamela is playing horse ****, Poch has persisted with him through thick and thin.

The only hope is that Lamela will be rested at some stage as spurs are 2 games into a 6 game streak in 17 days.

Ziegler1988

Baird to Naughton unless someone gets injured before Friday. Thrilling :pac:

IsMiseMyself

Might do Hazard to Silva. Then next week Hazard and Eriksen in for ADM and probs Ozil.

Alternatively, I might play it completely safe and go Terry to Berty. Play 10. (Well, 9 if PvA doesn't play. Don't wanna take a -4 this week. Feel it'd be wasted.)

extra gravy

If Alder isn't fit, think I'll do PVA to Dawson and double up on WBA for the rest of their nice fixtures. Even though they have Southampton at home, the Saints aren't exactly firing on all cylinders so think there's a good chance of a WBA clean sheet.

Lemlin

Current line up for the weekend.

Foster
Baird PVA Jones Bellerin
Cork Johnson Sanchez
Aguero Giroud Sturridge
Benched: Myhill, Terry, Eriksen, Hazard.

I need a defender 4.8 or cheaper to replace Terry if Alder doesn't make it. Any recommendations folks?

Planned transfers are:

GW27: Terry to Alder or 4.8 defender
GW28 (have two transfers): Johnson to Silva and Giroud to Kane.
GW29: Kiss goodbye to Philly Jones!

McAuley is 4.8 I think? Would mean doubling up on Pulis, but that mightnt be a terrible plan.

He already has 3 WBA. I'd vote Naughton or Wollscheid, but Rose could be a great pick for the DGW.

MR NINE

Has anyone considered dropping hazard temporarily? Looking at gw28 it seems like a good idea to have eriksen and kane. In order to have eriksen i need to ditch one of silva, sanchez and hazard. Silva and sanchez have nicer fixtures in gw28 and a game in gw27 so that leaves hazard as the one to drop. I would plan on signing him for gw29 in place of eriksen. It wouldnt require any points hits but i would lose between .2 and .4 on hazard depending on how much, or if at all, his price drops. I like the prospect of having any midfielder i want for this gw and eriksen for the next one over having hazard for a blank and west ham away. Anyone else considered such a move? And on a related note, who would people pick as a midfielder punt for gw27?

I did. Think I may have convinced myself not to. For now...

I'd lose £0.4m on him if he doesn't drop. And he's currently at +18.5% on fpls. He was around 31% yesterday eve. So he may not drop at all.
I've already given myself flexibility with Sanchez and up to now it has only backfired. Not sure I'm willing the same re-Hazard. Also it's gonna use 2 transfers while I have Lucas, Baird and possibly PvA to sort out.

Western Pomise

I think for anyone thinking of selling likes of Hazard they have to look at the money or lack of they have for future transfers,a gain of 5 or 6 pts from a replacement mightn't be worth it in long run if losing say .4m on his sale leaves you short of a needed transfer in a few weeks time...

True. But the main factor for me is actually that it'll cost me 2 transfers and for sure at least a -4 (and probably more a -8) sometime.

Sooner or Later

Looking at a 5-4-1 formation which means benching Austin, Kane and Hazard and using my two free transfers to get rid of my two definitely non-playing defenders, Terry and Wisdom.

Terry to Bertrand is fairly obvious choice but not sure about who to replace Wisdom with. Maybe a Newcastle defender (home to Villa) ?

Hidara?

Baird, gardos, oscar out for haidara, caulker and eriksen -4

Panti

Haidara, o shea, clichy yoshida
carzola, yaya, sterling, larsson
Aguero, pelle


De gea, kane, eriksen, caulker


Intend on pelle and clichy going for DGW for austin and vertongen. As it stands worst case is I field 9 this week but maybe 11. I will have 5 DGW players next week for another -4 but hopefully be worth that.

Why take a hit for a players that won't be playing? Why not just make one of them next week?

As it stands im leading my league after last week.

I banked my transfers to bring in players for the DGW and thats exactly what I am doing...obviously. why is a stupid question. ... points

I brought in caulker because I honestly think he is a brilliant defender with a decent shot at scoring vs spurs.especially, given he will be back at spurs in 2016 won't have many more opportunities to score against his own club. I think he has a fair shot at double digit returns.... what other 4.7mill defender will outscore him??

The player he replaced...oscar also has a blank. But unlike oscar eriksen has a DGW next week.... and I took -4 this week so I don't need to be -8 next week where I will absolutely want eriksen. .. it's called foresight...

Any word on Van Persie?

Was thinking of bringing in Rooney if he's going to be played as a striker

Couldn't ya just bring him in on your free transfer next week???

I'm thinking of largely ignoring this double game week. Kane is the only person I want from Spurs, and Austin would be the only QPR person I want, but would mean a hit to swap him out after as I won't want to keep him or, say, Eriksen. Anyone else along the same lines?

Do you also possess the foresight that erisken won't get injured in the interim? Makes absolutely no sense to make that transfer now (unless you have an important h2h next week) will cost you the same regardless.

I think you are largely right. I have Kane and Austin and I might get in Danny Rose as he seems a good cheap replacement for PVA or Jones who I intend shipping anyway.
After that I am not really sure I want to get in Eriksen at the expense of one of my midfielders (ADM, Silva, Cazorla, Haz and boyd) as they all seem to be doing well. I might keep my 2nd free transfer for the following week.

Hi folks,

Sorry, if this is a stupid question..I see people talking earlier in this thread about using their wildcards. I had my Jan WC and I never used it (I was waiting for transfer window to close) but it expired in the 1st week of Feb as it was not used. Am I missing something here or I should I still have it? It's showing as played but I def didn't play it.

Trying to figure out what to do this week as I've Austin, Kane, Hazard and Terry who won't play and I also have Colback who is suspended...

That's what I had been thinking alright..was just wondering when I say people saying they were gonna use theirs earlier.. Cheers for the reply.

Was going to ship Clichy/Oscar out for Yaya/ and 4.4m defender but might hold onto him as he could get game time now he wont be available for the 2nd leg.

You're being a wee bit defensive here lucid, people are pointing out that you have been a bit silly in your use of this weeks transfers and there is no doubt in my mind but that they are right.
I agree with you about Caulker in general and I've had him in my team this year as much weeks as not but QPR are poison at the back and while he's threatened to score quite often he's only done so once. In the DGW he's got Spurs and Arsenal, I see no clean sheet there.

Anyway an awful lot can happen between now and Saturday week to scupper your plans and your leaving yourself very light for this week, congrats on going top in your league but I think you might be going te wrong way about staying there.

Swiper the fox

I'm thinking of going 5-3-2 this week.
Looking at replacing Ivan, Marney and Wisdom with Bertrand, Wollscheid and Siggy.
My bench would be Hazard, Kane and Eriksen
I would line out with

Krul
Wooly, Bertrand, Bellerin, Taylor, Hutton.
Alexis, DiMaria, Siggy
Aguero, Defoe.


Leaves me with a strong front 8 but that'll be sorted within a fortnight. Di Maria probably out for bench fodder and Costa in for Defoe.

Kind of. I wouldn't keep Eriksen long term if I got him in.
It's just the fear of what he could potentially do.
