He seemed pretty knackered last night and was taken off after 75'. I still think he's quite good value at 7.3m, but I don't see him being as explosive as most people hope.

I would say there are very few people that expect Welbeck to score big. It's hope more than anything. A little bit of potential thrown together with a starting spot in a top four team that create chances.

Already sold him (*cough* PARlance *cough*)

Only way Costa is going out of my team is if he's ruled out for 3 weeks or more, or if another premium striker starts firing

Costa out for Pelle done. Feels good

Amazing what a few days of this game can do to a man's mind

lol, reminds me of this

To Paraphrase the Simpsons

Ziegler : What's done is done I've bought Costa and I'm not gonna try and weasel out of it.
Homer : Ah Ziegler, Weaseling out of things is important. It's what separates us from the animals..... Except the weasel!

You know what? I am starting to think he will be just fine.

Released from hospital is a good sign, isn't it:D

I'm starting to feel a bit angsty about ADM and Costa. They're both marked injured and I've made all my transfers. I'd really rather not have two subs come in. One would be grand but two would hurt.

From The Guardian

" unlikely Costa will be able to start the game at Old Trafford."

I'm starting to regret doing my transfers so early. Lesson learned. And I'd been doing so well at not doing anything silly this season. :P

Decision made ........... selling.

It is interesting that nobody, including Jose, has said categorically, that Costa will miss the United game.

Sold. No place for loyalty in this game. Lesson learned from previous seasons.

I had a look again at the FFS Hall of Fame top ten to see if any transfers were made since Tuesday

3 players made transfers since Tuesday. Two of them made 2 transfers and 1 made 1 transfer.

Educated guessing leads me to believe that just 3 of them have sold Costa.
I'm also guessing that the Baines ownership amongst those 10 players has now risen to 6.

I'm glad now that I didn't cave and sell Costa. If he doesn't feature this weekend then so be it but I won't be wasting either trasnfers or money trying to get him back in next week.

Happy to wait through the weekend. Don't expect him to feature against United but Super George Boyd had a great game for Burnley last week, hitting the bar as well as scoring and is against an Everton defence that give up a lot of chances. He'll do for me.

Ya, but I'd think he'd have been sold last night before the second drop or not at all......

Well, you'd think so, but that price drop might not have affected everyone depending on what price they got him in at. Last nights drop wouldn't have affected my selling price.

Edit, of course Pelle was rising so if that's the move they were making it would have made a lot of sense!

What about from previous GWs this season? This has the familiarity of the build-up to the Everton game (thankfully I didn't sell then, either!).

My conundrum is whether I'm gonna captain him or not.......him or aguero.....play it safe or go for gold

Press conference today will be interesting. I wonder will Jose even confirm what Costa's status actually is?

My selling of Costa will only be deemed successful should Pelle have another great weekend. Or if he's ruled out for the QPR game as well as the Utd one.... provided he is ruled out of the Utd game!

I also have Pelle but I cannot see him scoring double figures against Stoke. 6-9 points is my guess....

Jose takes centre stage at 1pm.

I *really* hope Costa plays against United.

Keeping, still think there's a small chance he'll play. If not, I don't want to take the price hit.
