    3-5-3 ?! Great! An extra attacker :p. Noice...

    Is Alder really worth the £5.0m? Spurs got 1 CS. They weren't great for them last year. They don't have a particularly good run of fixtures. Alder to Kolarovand you still have £2.0m in the bank.

    Kolarov Bellerin/Monreal Cédric would give you a solid defense you'd play most weeks. I presume Kolarov & your Arsenal def would play every week so if I were you I'd have a look at say the next 6-10 fixtures to see which GWs you'd "have" to bench Cédric and see who offers the best fixtures (from what I remember, Stoke, Leicester, Bournemouth, Villa rotate well with Saints upcoming fixtures).

    Let me know who your GPs are please.
    I've got Yoshida who is holding his place in the team atm. (Caulker was on the bench last week) but they have signed Van Dyke for big money and have a tough run of fixtures.
    I also have Alderweireld who I thought (and still hope) would get a game in midfield especially if Spurs don't sign a decent midfielder.
    I would suggest holding off to see team line ups for GW5 if you can.
    If you put me on the spot I'd go Cedric to Kolarov.

    what do you guys think about offloading Benteke? Liverpool's attacking returns have been nothing short of abysmal so far. Will get Wilson in ahead of him.

    GPs :confused:? (sorry non English native here :p)

    None of the aforementioned def are near a price change now (and the only one who will be at some point is Kolarov of course) so yeah waiting is the wisest thing to do right now.

    Ah I just posted on another thread about Saints tough run on paper that may not be that tough in the end (=> http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=96841256&postcount=387).

    I would think Cédric's place is safe though. I'm no Southampton expert but Yoshida & Targett should be the ones to make way for the new signing & Bertrand come back. The Caulker situation is strange to me but as someone said elsewhere Koeman knows his stuff much better than myself ;).

    About Alder, will he really have an impact if he does play in midfield? I mean he's not a full back so he'll prob end up in the holding mid position which doesn't offer much FPL-wise. And Spurs run is actually tougher than Saints one methinks ;).

    If it was not for a -4 and 'Pool didn't have Norwich & Villa at home GW6 & 7 I'd have already done it...

    Romero probably going to instantly lose his place in the team to De Gea.

    Who's the best choice of

    Myhill (4.5) - SOU, avl, EVE, cry, SUN
    Gomes (4.5) - SWA, new, CRY, bou, ARS

    to replace Romero


    Was thinking Howard too, but 0.5 more and a more difficult run of fixtures coming up ::
    Howard (5.0) - CHE, swa, wba, LIV, MAN

    @Rikand. I'd say Myhill because Pulis. But you may want to wait for mor einfo on both West Brom & United situations regardings keepers.
    And if you got Romero for £5.0m you have nothing to worry about price changes.

    Unfortunately bought him at 5.1. I was hoping to get a couple of rises out of him.

    I'll have to make the trade fairly quick as I need the cash for other transfers :)

    Why do you need to get rid of Huth, even if he's losing value he's a cheap defender who is going to keep his place. Leicester kept 6 CS last season, and probably stayed up because of him being in the side.

    Bear in mind, i have no idea of Lecister transfer business so if they have bought someone that is going to take his place, then fair enough get rid, but otherwise i don't see the appeal

    I agree, I think it's a funny move to make outside of wildcard time. Transfers are quite precious and it seems to me that AdMMM isn't seeing them as such, moving Bellerin to Monreal is another strange call which isn't showing much thought is being put into the transfers, I would love the luxury to be able to think like that but it's never going to happen.
    As well as that Monreal may have more bonus to date but Bellerin will blow him out of the water before the season is through.

    Arf... You still have time though. Romero is above +90% to a rise and is only dropping ~0.05%/hour.

    Palace away. Maybe City won't keep a CS this time so you may stick with your triplet for the time being so that you have time to assess De Bruyne position and impact (on the field and on the team). They're all rising in price too so what you'll miss on Kolarov (don't think he'll rise more than another £0.1m) you could somehow get it back when you'll sell either Yaya or Silva.

    And between them, assuming they conrtinue delivering similar points, I'd say it depends on your midfield. Silva makes it difficult to accomodate Sanchez. The latter is not exactly on form right now though.

    Benteke will be fit. He's a doubt for Belgium on Saturday but expected to play for them on Tuesday.

    I'd hold him for GW 6 and 7 if u already have him.

    Lindegaard is a strange one. Foster is due back in a month or so.

    So for a month, you've Myhill/Lindegaard to decide between, then presumably Foster back as number 1 and one of the Myh/Lin end up on the bench, the other banished.

    Was Lindegaard given assurances that he'd be ahead of Myhill in that pecking order? If so, is he ahead right now? Or is Lindegaard happy to go and potentially be a 3rd choice keeper?

    I'd imagine it's more to do with his chance of playing than money. West Brom is a smaller club so it stands to reason he might get more opportunities.

    My other two strikers are Aguero & Gomis, so who's left that is in decent form? I have 9.6m to spend

    He has two nice home fixtures after United though. If I had him I'd be keeping him for those.

    Patience!
    A lot can still go awry with the internationals.
    Don't know if your strategy is going to be long or short term with the change.
    Short term you could select a striker for the next 4GWs before there is another international break.

    Thanks for the input lads!

    @Paully, Wilson was top of my list of replacements but i'm wary how long his good run can last?

    @extra_gravy, two nice fixtures he might have but being honest i dont think he looks that threatening (and that's from a pool fan) he doesn't seem to be getting the balls to suit his style. I reckon he will come good when he has Sturridge to bounce off but currently he doesn't look great imo.

    @ElTel, very valid points and normally i wouldnt do anything drastic with Internationals coming up but im concerned that Benteke might start haemorrhaging value no that he's doubtful on top of the UTD game next

    I really don't think he will. He is only 23% or so towards a drop and is yellow flagged. He's expected to miss the first Belguim game but be fit for the second one. If he is the flag will be removed and his NTO reset to zero.

    The flag will increase his threshold to drop in the meantime.

    If he doesn't play the second international then there may be a spike in sales but unless he is reported as doubtful for the United game I doubt he'll drop.

    Now getting rid for form reasons is another thing!

    Ramsey has looked far more likely to score than Ozil from what I've seen.
    I think it's worth holding onto Payet for this week at least though.

    Yeah, I think he is likely to outscore ozil this week at least. Spocks right, Ramsey is probably a better option atm, plus he's cheaper. Ozil doesn't shoot enough for me. But I wouldn't be rushing to get an arsenal mid the way they're playing atm.

    Thanks for all the advice. The main reason for me picking Ozil ahead of Rambo is because Ozil will bad loads of assists, while Ramsey hasn't looked like creating anything in a while. I'll keep Payet for this gameweek and then decide on who to transfer after that.

    Ramsey has looked far more dangerous than Ozil, he is definitely on my watchlist

    As an Arsenal fan watching them play everytime they're on tv, I haven't seen Ramsey being clinical in front of goal in a while, and certainly not this season. I think he's one of these players that goes on a run, and he's the opposite at the moment. I'd at least wait until I see him back on form and have a goal to his name before bringing him in.

    As for Ozil, yes he'd pass the ball to someone else if he had an open goal, but he'd still get an assist for that. His assists will count up and up and he's already created a handful of chances so far.
