It's us that are considering Andy Carroll for a hit and he only back playing about 10 minutes

I would be but I have zaha and I am NOT doubling up on them!!!!

Cantona's Collars

Imagine Andy Carroll injured taking the kick off,the reaction here would be epic:pac::pac:

Payet's the man lads, after this gw

km79

I'm going to wait I think and pray for positive news
Won't be able to afford defoe after tonight but don't mind
I'm actually considering calling Wilson strongly
Or even Carroll if I could have another game tonlook at him first ..........might just play Capoue if Austin is out

I'd save it up until I crack up. Remember the last time I tried to be sensible and then I turned to Kevin Nolan and everything turned to sh!t

Look it's a classic fixtures argument but West Ham are muck and Carroll could break down at any moment.

In saying that the sooner you get the more time you'll own him before he breaks.

I'd be in the Nacho camp of punting. You know you should get 4 games out of him rather than hoping you get 4 games.

Benteke is my own 3rd forward.

Pre season favourite Andre gray is now 6.1. He started the last game and has Bournemouth Sunderland and boro all at home in the next 5 . Once Pedro is fit I'll be holding Austin this gw. One of the benefits of having a strong front 8.

Carroll urge is only rising. Help me out here!!

Former club with ropey defence followed by 3 worst sides in league!!

Matip is back. 9 goals conceded in the 11 games he has played. Liverpool have conceded 4 goals at home all season.

Andy is perennially injured.

ElTel

Well my WC team so far....

Pickford Mannone
Alonso Brunt Pieters Ake Kingsley
Sanchez Hazard Can Firmino Phillips
Ibra Costa Iheanacho 1.2M itb.

For me it then became a question of KDB and De Roon or Firmino and Phillips and 1.2M
I'm very likely to go with Firmino who I've had from the start.

A few others are in the mix. Wilson, Boufal Long Rose Bailly.....

I have him and wouldn't think of replacing him with Carroll at this stage. Can't see where all the Hype has come from.

basillarkin

Carroll lads wtf. A big useless donkey. Wouldnt take the risk unless im chasing and desperate. Even then i dont think i would.

What him go on a streak now.

I can see the logic behind Carroll. He does tend to return from injury every now and then scoring a few goals looking like he is going to be a world beater until he breaks again. West Ham have as nice fixtures as you can hope for coming up....these combined could see you strike lucky with Carroll, but not for me, not by a long shot!

Interesting that people are talking Payet up. Admittedly, I have not seen much of West Ham this year but from a FF point of view he has done very little. So at 9.2 m it would seem like a massive risk to bring him in for these games in the hope he hits back into form. A lot of other brilliant options in that price range.

extra gravy

Sensible me is saying I should replace Austin with someone more nailed on rather than less. Tempted to follow the crowd and get Nacho though.

Assists in his last two games against United and Arsenal. Why Liverpool might be vulnerable this week discussed already. Then he has Burnley and Hull at home followed by Swansea. Plus over the last 8 GW he is king of the key pass and successful cross. Take his pedigree into account and I'm kinda interested in him too especially if he gets points against Liverpool.

Southampton fixtures are great, tempted to leave Austin in

Between posting that i said feck it an got Defoe in.

No confirmation on how long Austin is out for, could only be a week looking at a few sites

Necronomicon

Like many others I went Austin -> Nacho before I went to bed to catch the price rise.

TacT

Going to have to be Austin>Nacho now for a -4 that I wanted to use to upgrade Milner to Mane. Gonna have an itchy trigger finger on the -8 up until kickoff

Father Hernandez

Austin injured.....

Who's the best person to get in at that price range?

Nacho, Defoe, Wilson, Rondon, Negredo, Llorente? (Maybe not Llorente)

liam7831

Wrong move Todd wrong move..., it makes no sense to make transfers with teams still due to play in Europe #austin

I understand the underlying theory behind this but don't think its a good idea in winter, game called off and you've no goalkeeper.

After which they have 3 games in 5 days and he'll definitely not play all.

Your right its not a good idea from now on. You also have to factor in games being postponed for Carling cup final and fa cup games. I always prefer a 2 keeper strategy from Xmas onwards.

Is it suicide going into this week without any Liverpool coverage?

That narrows things down to 4, although Carroll was always an outside bet.

Benteke
Defoe
Wilson
Iheancho

I think in that order for me personally. Benteke worries me as he's on 4 cards and it would be just like it that Costa and him get them the same week.

Defoe is a diamond, but .... I'm concerned that Watmores injury might be problematic for Sunderland as he was a quiet workhorse. It's quite possible that Januzaj will come in for him and I don't know if thats a good thing.

Paully you might give us the benefit of your thoughts ?

Wilson- Looks very interesting to be honest.

Iheancho - Pep is the problem for me here. That fu€$er and his rotational policy make me very nervous. In fairness if you got 3 out of 4 for 70- 80 minutes that would be good, but will Pep give you that ?

I don't think Liverpool will run riot and even in a 5 goal win, Firmino has blanked.

Tekkers is on 3 yellows. I'm currently leaning towards him for a hit

Can't afford Defoe or Tekkers so its Nacho for me.

Looked well against Celtic, has roughly a goal every 100 mins in the PL this year which is good for a 'bit-part' player. Certain he'll start vs Leicester and hopefully bang in a few!

You've been dreaming of a white Christmas

FHFC

Option 1
Austin to Iheanacho for -4. Nacho could rise again tonight, I was happy to let him go up 0.1 last night to consider the options and hear from the Press conferences today. But he's set to seriously bandwagon and if he does score this weekend there is a tidy profit to be made.

Option 2
Bench Austin and play Chambers. With Southampton toiling in front of goal and missing their chief goal threat a CS is not out of the question for Boro.
Could have a look at Iheanacho and Carroll this weekend.

Pretty 50/50 on it, the price changes push towards A, but not convinced City will rout Leicester this weekend.

Literally having the same debate with myself now
But I'd be playing Capoue
I'm ok with that I think
I've just looked through the fixture ticker
Those west ham fixtures after Liverpool are WOW
I think I need the weekend to assess it
Not sure ANY of them are worth a -4 this particular weekend ......

km79

I need to stop looking now
As well as being way too tempted by Andy Carroll.......I've now figured if I get anichebe in for Austin after tomorrow I could then also get dele alli in for zaha........

Yeah I'm going to be playing de Roon but still not sure it's worth a hit. As much as hits are working well this year bulldozing through them to get players for 3/4 weeks doesn't make any sense unless you are counting on a big slice of luck.

Especially when origi ihenacho and Carroll are all a transfer back out waitIng to happen
I'm going to play Capoue TBH
I wasn't expecting much more than 2 points from Austin this weekend anyway and was already looking at exit plans after

If you want Iheanacho then I'd say Option 1 since you're giving him an extra match to pay off the hit(s). Don't see Chambers getting more than 2 points personally
