    Yes, two wildcards: one to be used before the new year and one after. You can use one to make the two transfers you mention, at no cost of points, but it'd be a bit of a waste if those are the only transfers you want to make.

    Ok....so you can make multiple transfers with a wildcard :confused:

    Heads up for anyone not looking, Ighalo's next three games: Villa (a), Norwich (h), Sunderland (a). Big opportunity for points (and three big games for Watford to be fair).

    However, after this, their run of games is pretty awful: Pool (h), Chelsea (a), Spurs (h), City (h), Soton (a).

    Could see a slow down in points for a few weeks, but they are at home, so I guess holding on to him is best with the value.

    Only problem I have is I'd love a Lukaku, Kane, Aguero strikeforce :pac:

    Losing Sanchez as part of a -12 just seems too far. He's 10/11 to score this week it could easily go horribly wrong! If you feel you must do this then definitely get rid of KDB a 10m+ player you aren't going to captain is just horrible value.

    I'm yet to be convinced on Barkley I think its Lukaku or nothing for Everton attackers I would also be loath to sell Ighalo unless he picks up an injury he is an absolute lock for best value player this year. If you want Aguero I think Ig, Kane, Aguero is the way to go. I'm holding off though and just going Ig, Kane, Lukaku for the mid term over the next ten weeks there is only really one week I would prefer him as captain over Sanchez or Kane so happy to go without and just captain one of them.

    What do you have for a mid if you do Lukaku & KDB>Aguero & X?

    I don't have lukaku I have Vardy Kane Ighalo

    I've decide too hold Sanchez 100% so
    If I do have too dump 1 it's KDB


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,369 ✭✭✭the incredible pudding


    Pelle to either

    Aguero -> requires KDB to someone like Firminho at a -4 cost
    or
    Kane

    Any thoughts?

    How much wriggle room have you got, if Aguero goes to 13.3+ would you be able to get him?

    Yeh but I think if you want an Everton player you have to go Lukaku or nothing so if you want Aguero then you really have to go with none unless you prefer him over Kane. I think keeping Sanchez is wise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    2 questions please and thanks.

    Q1. Prodston. This 3.9m Ryan Bennett character. Nailed on? Martin is out but he seems to have been getting 90s before that.

    Having passed up Wolly and opted for a cheap cheap 5th def I'm figuring Norwich and Leicester are much of a muchness is terms of crapness and 0.1 is 0.1.

    Q2. As Bust mentioned in the other thread Mane might have some sucess against a weakened City backline. If I do Sterling to Coutinho who would a man bench from...

    Coutinho, Mahrez, Ozil, Sanchez, Mane
    Kane, Lukaku, Vardy

    Strong front pain in the bollix...

    It's too much of an ask too get Aguero I'm beginning too think I could do
    Kolorov & Vardy too Simpson (or Bennett)& Lukaku


    Give me a front 3 of lukaku (Bou) Kane (Che) Ighalo (villa)


    I'd prefer too have Simpson over Bennett as my bench filler defender who may rotate with nyom

    Coutinho didn't train today, something to keep an eye on. Assuming fit, I'd probably still bench Mane since Vardez can punish you


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    RE: Bennett my opinion would be one of extreme caution. Come January I'd very much doubt any chance for him. I'd fully expect defensive reinforcement at cb.

    Neil seems to have a penchant for rotating too. Brady has probably been the most played player but most of that has been LB :pac:

    If you're content to use him as a price enabler and be aware you can't trust him for that trusty 1 point (5th defender is likely to concede 2 or get a yellow :P ) then go for it.

    He doesn't get the Prodston Punt seal of approval for longevity but that may be partly down to his presence ending the Norwich and Mickey T dream team! Plus he's not exactly great!

    Joe Hart going off injured has put a serious spanner in the works. (McCarthy back up who won't play)

    Anyone know the chances of him playing the weekend?

    Already took a -4 hit this week, do I take another to get De Gea/Cech/Lloris in?

    Posted in the injuries thread:

    Pellegrini, talking about the Blues’ injury list added: “As for Joe Hart – it is impossible to know how serious his injury is at this point.

    “He has a problem with his hamstring and has had a problem in his back for the past week.

    “We hope we don’t lose him, but for if for some reason he cannot play I have trust in Willy Caballero.

    Re Lloris

    Spurs have 2nd best defense behind united in epl but only 4 clean sheets so far.

    United have conceded 1 goal less than spurs but have 8 clean sheets.

    So go with DGG over Lloris

    That's what I was thinking alright.

    I was hoping to get rid of Hart anyway but with United away to Leicester & Spurs at home to Chelsea, even taking Hart out for a -4 hit may overall leave me with a -2 deficit as not sure either will keep a CS for this week.

    Even with injury, might wait until next week..

    I tried to find a way too but just couldn't find a way for it to make sense so will be going with that same front three. Now just have to figure who to sell to be able to upgrade Vardy to Kane! Part of me wants to let Mane go but I am very fond of him for some reason and loathed to let him go!

    I have Simpson you would almost want someone worse to be honest! It was painful seeing his points on the bench while Bellerings 0 was stinking up the starting 11!

    Midfield is Ozil, Sanchez, Coutinho, Barkley.
    Forwards Kane, Lukaku, Vardy

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,839 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Not when I have sold Vardy.. He starts every game for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 212 ✭✭Fant11


    Do we think it's worth the risk bringing couthino in considering injury?

    Who are ppl looking at for cheap 5th mid midfielder, Aguero facilitator? Lingard? Alli bit expensive at 5.0m


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,788 ✭✭✭Benimar


    My front line is Aguero, Vardy, Ighalo.

    None are a great captain choice this week and am worried that Lukaku will kill me again as he leads the captain poll. However, it would take a -8 to get him in for Vardy. (A -4 next week)

    I stick, don't I?

    Cheapest safe option is probably Wanyama at 4.3

    People seem to be using Stanislaus at 4.2 but he looks far from nailed on to me unless somebody knows more about Bournemouth midfield.

    If I have the 0.1 to spare I really like Dan Gosling at 4.4 who has been getting forward a lot lately.

    Its not gonna be a high scoring game and Uniteds midfield and defence are very solid.

    Both Vardez seems overkill for this game and with Vardy on pens, I'm fancying Mane to cause bother to City with his pace combining with Long.

    Yeah, if I take a hit and downgrade one of Sanchez, Ozil or KDB then getting Aguero in isn't a problem at a later date.

    Aguero's run earlier in the season has made me wary to take a hit for him so soon to be honest and Kane's form is pretty appealing.

    He's looked pretty good in his past few games though. I guess rotation might be a worry with pool's options up front but I like what I've seen of him. Other options would be Barkley/Deulofeu eh.... Ayew.... Lanzini? not too many in the sub 8 bracket.


    I think I'll go for Kane and just take the inevitable disappointment when he blanks and Aguero scores a hat-trick. I'm getting used to that feeling this year!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,850 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Took a -8 this week

    Vardy kdb and sagna out
    Lukaku, Ozil and Galloway in

    Not sure about Galloways game time but if he starts against bourmouth - fancy CS. Have 0.5m in bank

    Butland, Hennessy
    Galloway, nyom, cook, hangeland Taylor
    Sanchez, ozil, coutinho, mahrez, stanislas
    Lukaku, Kane, Aguero

    Defence is a bit of a mess but will go with it for time being till I use the WC


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,722 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Already done BUIB->Kane.
    Have Lukaku, Vardy + Kane up top with Mata, Ozil, Cabaye, KDB and Hoolahan in midfield already

    What do people think of KDB + Vardy -> Aguero + Alli(or similar price)??

    KDB & Vardy would be a big fav to outscore Aguero & Alli this week! I would hold off until the Swansea home game if you feel you must bring him in. A -8 to bring him in this week just seems too much.

    Yea I was thinking the same, I'm gonna play Mane ahead of Mahrez this week. United are very solid and City were woeful last week. I'm giving Mane 2 more chances as he also has Villa at home next week.

    Kind of depends how much you want to spend, I've gotten King for Bournmouth who's 4.6m and is starting up front the last few matches.

    Gosling at 4.4 actually has better attacking stats since they switched to that formation though.

    To late now I've done the transfer :D

    I presume King will get more chances though if he continues to be played up front.

    Just wondering why no-one is considering giroud?
    He's gotten 15 points in the last 3 games, and his next 3 are Norwich, Sunderland and villa,
    Will he lose his place to walcott? (due back next week)

    Mainly because of the wealth of options up front and the strong form of Ozil and Sanchez. Many have both of those 2 and struggling to accomodate 3 from Lukaku, Kane, Aguero, Vardy, Ighalo who have good form and fixtures too.

    I would be looking at bringing him in this week but I already have 3 Arsenal and would imagine a few are in the same boat.

    For the previous two years I put him on my team and was burned. Not a good reason considering his current form, but I just can't do it again.

    I went for Ben Watson at 4.3m.

    For some reason I have it in my head that he has goals in him from his time at Wigan. It's probably completely wrong, but he's a regular starter and I hope to God not to have to ever use him. At 4.3m he enables me to have Aguero and Sanchez though.

    Stick to worth a hit. He's probably only worth around 1 point more than Vardy this week imo.
