Worth keeping Payet for 1 more GW? Palace at home. Stats look quite decent, just no striker to put away the chances he's creating.

Anyone eyeing up yaya?

I have Yaya for three weeks now, I think he's a great option. Looks nailed on, taking penalties, IF he scores he's a BPS magnet. I picked him over Sterling

Miki is very expensive

Fant11

Looking to replace Clyne considering upcoming pool fixtures. Have 5.6 to spend. Will I wait a week and bring in Baines or look at Daniels, VVD or someone else?

kopite386

Took a -4 to bring in Alli for Hazard and Walker for Klavan
The walker transfer would have been a different player but with Aké now at Chelsea I have no more room for Chelsea players

dr.kenneth noisewater

Thinking Alonso to Rose/Walker but need to get rid of Origi and Townsend. Will prob give Andros another week and take  a -4 for Origi to???

Fant11

Eriksen or Alli in for Payet?

ScummyMan

Think I'm gonna have to get rid of Aguero, too much money for a rotation risk.

Zaha -> Yaya.
Aguero -> Costa/Kane.

Which one of Costa and Kane is the question...

FHFC

Haven't really looked at my team since end of last GW. Just looked. Left it exactly as it was. Weird!

I'd go with Giroud

The real mccoy 91

Having payet in my team is now forcing me into my wildcard.
Team at the moment is
Grant bravo
Daniels mccauley alonso lovren mee
Hendrick Phillips payet sanchez De roon
Costa aguero carroll

Thinking of dumping bravo for robles.
Alonso and lovren for rose and possibly Luiz.
Hendrick sanchez and payet out for yaya alli/eriksen and lallana.
Carroll for giroud.
Any thoughts?

I wouldn't sell Sanchez. He's possibly the only 'must have' in the game.

Robles will be replaced soon by their first choice keeper who is nearing a return from injury.

I like the idea of Yaya and Lallana but I'd try and get Coutinho.

Maybe you should think about sacrificing Aguero as many don't see him as a necessity any more. That money could help you keep Sanchez and upgrade elsewhere.

Also there are seemingly serious doubts about Alonso going around. He's been carrying an injury it seems and the consensus is that he might be dropped.

Edit - Giroud isn't really guaranteed the minutes needed for FPL even though he has been fairly devastating off the bench. Probably better going for a striker that'll get the 90 minutes.

Dont have the funds I'm afraid!

Father Hernandez

Aké worth the punt or play it safe(ish) with Chambers? Both 4.4

The latter means I should replace Monreal to a Chelsea defender

I'd wait and see on Chelsea over the next couple of games. I was thinking of going on Zouma as he is back from injury and could see Azpi going out to wing back but its hard to know what Conte thinks is his best options yet.

extra gravy

Bellerin on the wc has been a disaster. Could be left with just two playing defenders if I hold him so thinking Rose or Baines or both for a -4.

Holebas van Dijk Pieters Friend Amat

Sanchez Phillips Lallana Clayton Alli

£0.1 in the bank, not seeing an obvious transfer. Anything I'm missing? Considering banking it this week.

With Walcott out till end January, Giroud shoud be nailed for Swansea (a), Burnley (H) and probably Watford (H).

In that period Benteke who I have and was gonna hold for nice fixtures from GW23 has West Ham (a), Everton (h) and Bournemouth (a). And he has a dodgy shoulder. And Remy is returning so may share minutes and certainly could share goals.

Is it therefore worth the hit to get Giroud for those 3 games at least.

Last time I got certain Mr Kane for plumb home fixtures it didn't work so good.

I'm 90% tempted after being set to let my team be having made a rather rash early Hazard to Alli move after last GW.

I'm debating the same switch, but to do so I would have to do Hazard -> Pedro and I can't seem to pull the trigger on that.

siblers

I'd definitely go with Giroud for a hit over Benteke, I'm trying to figure out a way to bring him in for a hit to replace Origi. I could see Giroud scoring more points in one game than Beneteke in 3 games.

dr.kenneth noisewater

Think I'll do Alonso and Origi to Chambers and Giroud for -4. Will get Brunt in next week then
2 to start from Smith, Pieters and Chambers then??

manual_man

i have Bellerin injured and Brunt(doubtful) and Ake(bench, probably). I think it's time for a one week punt on PVA

Mr.Prodston

I forgot my team had so many injuries

km79

Roth call now whether to play Randolph or grant
And brunt or jones
Was all set on brunt to play every week but they have a fair few injuries and doubts now including brunt
I'll be benching philips too

NabyLadistheman

Anybody thinking of Negredo? His fixtures look great & could be a good replacement for Origi?

Brunt should be fit for this weekend according to Dinnery. Probably play LB if Nyom not cleared.

Tough call between him and Jones
I fancy united to concede none or one
But brunt could score or assist whilst almost certainly conceding

Brunt to PVA done. One week punt

This could make things interesting.

Dempsey

Heaton, Pickford

Barragan, Evans, Alonso, Coleman, Amat

Sterling, Allen, Fletcher, Firmino, Alli

Lukaku, Costa, Ibrahimovic

0.9m ITB & 2 FT's

Thinking

Defoe in for Lukaku
Allen to Snodgrass

With Amat not playing, I'm willing to take a 4 point hit for a 90min player. 5.4m to spend, any suggestions??

Wait!! Whats that sound???

Ah. About 10,000 extra wildcards being popped.

kopite386

After seeing that Costa has been dropped I'll drop him to the bench and either play

McAuley Aké Azplizecuta Walker
Philips Alli Lallana Eriksen Allen
Aguero

Or
McAuley Azplizecuta Walker
Same midfield
Aguero Barnes

I got Barnes just to sit on the bench and don't know if Conte will play Aké or not? What is everyone else thinking

Pete Moss

Already done my transfers for this week. I have two non-runners on the bench, so the Costa news mean it's time for Hojberg to shine!

hufpc8w3adnk65

Options here lads


Foster Pickford
Jones Daniels Alonso Amat Kone
Antonio Lallana Sanchez Phillips Meyler
Ibra Aguero Benteke

Looking at
Kone - Schullp
Antonio - King
Benteke - Giroud

It's a -4 and leaves me .1 itb

Lemlin

Heaton
Holebas, Gibson, Alonso
Philipps, Ali, Lallana, Sanchez
Defoe, Costa (!), Ibra

Pickford, Amat, Evans, Capoue

1.6 million in the bank.

Have 1 free transfer and need to replace Costa. Any suggestions?

Callum Wilson seems to be the man in the best form.

He's not nailed on I don't think. Afobe could start ahead of him. Giroud looks to be the flavour of the month. Lukaku and Kane the other options and not much else apart from Aguero but there's doubts over him as well.

2nd Row Donkey

Everyone! To the Costa Conumdrum tread, quick!

Ziegler1988

Lovely to get that news a couple hours after confirming my FTs :rolleyes:. Will let Holebas get me another disappointing score since I don't feel like taking a hit. Funny enough he's 11/1 for anytime goal compared to my initial 1st sub de Roon 12/1.

“It is important for him [Ake] to have a bit of time with us,” Conte said.

“He will be at the match, not sure if he’ll make the bench.”

“I’m very pleased he stayed with us. He has improved a lot.

Sounds like bench at best. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/753829/Chelsea-news-Antonio-Conte-Nathan-Ake

Wilson may not start tomorrow, Afobe is cleared to play again and was ahead of him. Personally, I'd go Lukaku or risk Giroud

Giroud. With Walcott confirmed out for next few games it's the obvious move.

Necronomicon

Well, f@ck. I have Costa since the start of the season and I really don't want to sell and buy back. But this isn't an injury, if there's a bust-up it's unpredictable how long his absence could be.

COH

Head wrecked. Screw this gameweek anyway!

Costa out for -4 and Giroud with his shiny new contract in.

machiavellianme

Costa and Amat out for Giroud and Walker for a -4.

Now I have
Heaton (Pickford)
Walker Alonso Pieters (Holebas Ake)
Sanchez Alli Lallana Phillips (De Roon)
Ibra Kun Giroud

May play Holebas over Alonso or Pieters yet (any thoughts??)
Overall, I am quite happy with the team - for now.
WC intact to get Costa back or ditch Alonso and De Roon and get Pedro / Baines.

eagle eye

Costa might never play again and I've used my transfer this week. I think I'll wait until tomorrow evening to ship him out, likely have to take a -4 because the only man I want to bring in is Aguero and I don't have that money without changing another player.

bantee

Is there any chance this is only a rumour blown out of all proportion and that he'll start at 17:30 tomorrow?

Widely reported as fact by several reputable sports news outlets such as the Guardian.

So no.

FHFC

Btw. Will Giroud be on pens now when he plays?

Mike Jones (4 pens in last 4 games) has Swansea v Arsenal.
