Any advice please lads?

I've already taken a -4, debating a -8 but to be honest I'm not really sure what way to go. A fresh pair of eyes on my team would be very much appreciated. £0.4m in the bank:

I think I'd stick and reassess next week. All your defenders are away but a -4 leaves you hoping for a clean sheet.

Replacing Aguero means you hope his replacement scores (I assume he would replace Fletcher in your starting XI). The obvious replacement is Costa who is a walking time bomb.

Calvin

Ugh. **** the international break.

I can take a -8 to transfer out Evans and Kolarov. Should I stick with City cover at the back or go for Bertrand/Chelsea?

Benimar

Begovic
Darmian, Martin, Francis
Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mahrez, Westwood
Vardy, Ighalo

Out: Kolarov, Gomez, Aguero

4 options:
1. Stick it out
2. -4 for Aguero to Pelle
3. -4 for Gomez to Bertrand (so I don't have to play Francis)
4. -8 for both options 2 and3.

All advice appreciated. Head is gone here!!

I'd take the -8 and get rid of Aguero. I personally went for Costa but you have good alternatives in Bony, Lukaku to consider.

Evans should be touch and go for this GW but should be safe for next week at worst (long term he looks dodgy as a bit of a sick note though)

AOA isn't really a good option for you without a strong 8.

You could contemplate the -12 and ship out Kolarov for (Coleman if you can take the potential hit for the next 2 weeks to then hopefully reap the rewards) Bellerin solid looking in a solid looking side. Bertrand much the same as for Bellerin.

I'm also in trouble


Evans nyom Kolorov bellerin Bertrand
Puncheon Payet Maherz Pedro mane
Vardy martial Aguero


I want De Bryune and Sanchez so most likely going too ship Pedro and Puncheon

Aguero has too go but I think I might gamble with Kane... Although ighalio could also be an option.


I'm happy too hold Kolorov 1 week and see how he does and then hopefully nyom or Evans plays this week.


Thoughts?

Champion, I'll follow suit so and bring in him in myself like I had thought about so! Hopefully we both have a decent week

Between Nyom and Evans you have a good chance of fielding a defender. Kolarov shouldn't drop (if current trend continues) till Saturday night at the earliest so you should be fine in terms of price drop.

I'd be looking at a change for Aguero and depending on points hits De Bruyne in. (Sanchez is a slight injury concern and you can do without adding insult to injury )

Kane would be a good differential for Aguero but I just have no faith in him atm.

kolarov darmian Francis nyom and targett
4 point hit would be needed for transfer so should I stick
or do kolarov to bellerin /Bertrand
I'm actually afraid bellerin could be rotated .......

Arbitrary

Nothing like staring down the barrel of a -12, sigh, I suppose there's a first for everything. I already used my AOA due to being ravaged by injuries early in the season.

I kind of have to take the hit for Kolarov, otherwise I'm at risk of having only two starters at the back with Evans a huge doubt and Kolarov out. Any chance Target starts? Whince.

Edit.

-12 activated with Dawson in, Kolarov out. Trebled up on WBA defenders. I'm taking a massive risk that will either pay off or fail miserably, though I can see at least one CS from them over their next three fixtures.

Myhill

Evans - Dawson - Bellerin

Don't let me down, Tony.

Anyone having trouble with the site? cannot seem to confirm my changes....

Yep a bleeding Virgin media ad pops up every time I try change my team today

FHFC

I'd do another hit to -12 to move Kolarov if the fixtures dictated a decent chance of it breaking even this week.

But as it is I Souare (WHU), Martin (new) and Naughton (STO) while the potential replacements would be Bellerin (wat) and Bertrand (LEI).

Don't think the chances of Clean sheets for Bellerin / Bertie are high enough to justify them ahead of Martin (-4).

Anyone got this weeks CS odds.

Gaillimh1976

Using AOA

Don't want to play Francis even against City's second string but if Evans out will have no other choice

Cedric/Kolarov/Evans/Francis/Saylor

So starting Cedric & Evans and Francis will sub in if Evans misses

Stupidly did Sagna to Kolarov before the internationals !!!!

I'm considering Gabriel for a -4
Bony in for Kun done and Lukaku for Diouf my next likely FT.
If pelli is to believed Clichy is back when Kol is fit again so rotation concerns come into play. I guess I feel his time is up for his price and although I can put up with 1 price drop on him it's a transfer I'll have to make eventually and Berti or Everton defender is a couple of weeks early. Taking a -4 this week could well be the average and gives me my FT next week with the possibility of saving it.

OneColdHand

I'm going to bring in Kompany for Kolarov. I could field 11, but would have no subs. Would also mean playing Richards and Francis at the back against strong opposition. I feel Kolarov could be risky even when he comes back, due to Clichy returning to fitness.

Also have other transfers to make over the coming weeks, and this seems like a good week to take a hit as lots of others will be taking one.

Calvin

Kolarov/Evans > Bertrand/Souare complete for a -8.

Myhill/Hennessy
Bert/Bellerin/Souare/Martin/STaylor
KDB/Sanchez/Ayew/Mahrez/Wanyama
Pelle/Martial/Vardy

Final dilemma is captain KDB or Sanchez :P

Gabriel is risky, Koscielny is back in full training. We don't know what Wenger will do with Kos, Mert, and Gabriel all fit

Sure is. I could play it safer but with Munich on Tuesday I 'm hoping he doesn't risk Kos. Longer term Ward Sakho Gabriel Coleman JOS could be ok!!

SantryRed

With Kolorov out, I made another transfer. My first hit of the season has now turned into a -8, but I definitely think it was needed, and it's long term, as Kolorov won't be guaranteed a starting place weekly with Clichy on way back.

Kolorov -> Bellerin
Aguero -> Pelle
Gomez -> Dawson

Mr.Prodston

With all these hits left right and center I'm beginning to think it would be folly not to use the WC now.

I could gain ground on those before any potential bounce from a WC in addition.

I must sit down later and tease it all out. If Hazard wasn't in my team the decision would be much easier. I can field 11 with 1 transfer but my defence is in such a bad way.

So it's down to whether more info in GW11 is worth the wait as the fixtures open up or gamble now....

Think nothing of it. Solid moves.
I'll be -24 in total hits after this week and don't dwell on them.

Anyone want to help a very confused fellow manager out?

Ziegler1988

Benimar wrote: »

I'd do #2, although wouldn't be opposed to #4 since you may end up needing to take a hit for defender next week if Darmian gets another yellow (I assume WC is played)

Iused2likebusts

Benimar wrote: »

I'd definetly -4 in your shoes and get rid of aguero I'd also be strongly considering a -8 to sort out the defence. Actually I'd definetly -8 your defence doesn't have great fixtures next week either.

ElTel

Benimar wrote: »

It's the -8 imo but I think that could be the baseline start this week.

Yep, WC played in week 3. Never taken a -8 before so I suppose I'm a bit gun shy about it.

Seems like the average hit among "serious players" will be 1.5, so it's only two more points than a lot of people. I've seen -16s and -20s on FFS :eek:

Hey guys, I used my wildcard. A lot of changes were needed.

What do you think of my team? Would you make any changes?

I'd prefer Alderweireld to Dier who already has 5 yellows this season. Kelly is about to lose his place once Ward is back, if you want Palace defence then Souare is safe. For 4.3m, you could get Distin at Bournemouth who is likely to start every match for the rest of 2015

CSF

Can't get my head around captaining Pelle but benching Mane

Why, what way would you rearrange it?

That's the trouble with having all midfielders you'd like to play..

ElTel

Doubting my plan for a hit to transfer out Kolarov now.
Could do Gabriel for Daniels instead.
Would be starting Sakho Kolarov and Muniesa with JOS and Daniels (BOU) as subs.
AOA not considered as I think Mahrez is not guaranteed to start and Sanchez minutes with Munich Tuesday a concern.
Guess I'm now wondering if Clichy will really compete with him and how fast he'll drop in value in 2 weeks. Do I trust Pellegrini with derby around the corner?
Feel like I've aged à decade in the past 2 weeks!!!

Well it's just, have a look at how many goals have involved Mane and Pelle as scorer/assister or vice-versa

Paully D

**** it, I've gone -8. I've figured if there's any week to do it, then this is the one considering a lot of serious players will be taking a -4 for sure.

Prior to the international games kicking off I went (for -4):

Pedro -> Mata
Gomis -> Pelle

I needed to do that one early or I'd have been destroyed on price rises/falls, so no complaints there. However, once Aguero and Kolarov got hurt it put me in trouble.

Tonight, I've gone (for a further -4):

Kolarov -> Bellerin

That's a move that was on my radar anyway.

Now to decide whether I should ride it out for a week or take another -4 (bringing it to -12 overall) to dump Aguero?

EDIT - -12 done for Aguero -> Bony. Lets see how this goes!

extra gravy

Think I'm going to take a punt on Mitrovic...am I mad?!

eh i dunno

Sanchez Lukaku alderweirald in, ayew aguero kolarov out. -8 but necessary

Mr.Prodston

What do ye make of this potential WC team?



I hate when you start going around in circles and you don't know what's a good team and what isn't anymore. I'm there right now :pac:

No Leicester I know but if Vardy keeps scoring he'll become Ronaldo and Mahrez well it's a risk but if game time is an issue it may be an astute move.

An ARF (Aguero Release Fund) is something I haven't really thought about but I'll come up with something at the time. I also have up until January in my mind for defenders and what not. Ayew and Pelle on 3 yellows and I like Jarvis as a 5th mid with a little something to offer me.

I think Payet is a must, Mahrez probably too. What would worry most about their absences is that the alternatives you have for them (Eriksen and Ayew) are both more expensive and less prolific so far.

Eriksen is very much dispensable but I do like Ayew plus West Ham's fixtures aren't great.

Look at Payet's output and his greatest scores have been Newcastle, Sunderland, Norwich and Leicester.

I'm locked in about 95% on:
Howard - Elliot
Dawson (WBA defender) - Bertrand - Martin - Soare
KDB - Sanchez - Jarvis/Fletcher (+ 0.5)
Lukaku - Pelle (or Mane but he won't start this week probably which is why I'm on Pelle)

So my question marks are then over:

Williams
Ayew
Eriksen
Martial

I want either Martial or Mata probably going forwards too and I think Williams would be an ideal player to have for the next few months. Likewise Ayew for a while anyway.

So it's basically a midfield and forward slot with about 16.5 to play with and perhaps a Pelle/Saint confusing matters.

I've also now got a headache. Although I did have Elliot, Collocini and Mitrovic in my team about an hour ago :pac:

mcgettigan16

Looking to replace Kolarov finding it very difficult to settle on someone. Wanted to go with Kompany but still a slight doubt over his fitness.

DarraghF197

Ah, lads! I thought I had my team picked out yesterday but I come back with a red Kolarov and an orange Berahino. Anyone know what the story is with Berahino? Didn't hear anything about him, hopefuly it doesn't mean I'll have to transfer another player.

I think Payet has only blanked twice (including games v Arsenal and City) and is a BP machine. Seems fixture proof enough.

Payet/Mahrez have 40 points over Eriksen/Ayew so far (think Eriksen missed a game or 2 but still). I'm all about foregoing a form player if I don't think they'll keep it up (although often to my detriment) but I'd be generally doing it for a cheaper option. To be foregoing all those points for more expensive options would be a worry to me.

It's a nice midfield. Mane has a poor record for getting 60 mins when on intl duty. Evans is doubtful, no? Would you not downgrade Boruc to Hennessey or Elliot?

Can't find anything wrong with it, that team should leave money in the bank as well, right?
Mane usually arrives back late from internationals. Koeman didn't mention anything in his press conference, but there's a chance. You have a strong front 8 anyway so not much need to worry
