Who would the best cheap midfielder be to bring in? I'm making the Aguero leap, but trying to keep RVP and Rooney too. So dropping Walcott and haven 5.8 for a replacement. Already have McLean and Sigurdsson.
Was thinking of Petrov for Bolton as they play twice next two game weeks. Any other options I'm missing?

Cabaye has a double next week, and costs 5.8.

Fulham's Stephen Kelly has just been red flagged with an expected return date of the 28th.

I'm taking the if in doubt do nothing approach to the Aguero/Tevez problem. Going into this week with no City attack is going to be terrifying though.

Juxtapose

already did rooney - aguero but thinking walcott - dempsey for a 4 point hit might be worth it.
cant afford him doing well against wigan as 2 teams chasing me have him. take the hit now or wait till next week?

manual_man

finding it VERY hard to pick a starting 11 this week... currently have Valencia and Evans benched

If your getting him next week anyway, do it this week. This week and GW37 are the appealing games for Dempsey. I don't expect too much from the double.

same as that
keep changing my bench

sess, bae skrtel and reina are there at the min

of team chelsea put out but id imagine after the midweek

yeah I have rvp and walcott starting. I have Shawcross as my third defender. just have a feeling that could be a bore draw

I hear he is 8 feet wide and 10 foot tall,moves like a cheetah with hands the size of cars..........defo going to stop a City goal fest i reckon

Dempsey

He's handy enough, solid enough in the SPL and he was the Swansea keeper when they were in League One to promotion via playoff. Hasnt played a EPL match though, he could stop bullets or pull a Ruddy

thinking of Walcott to demps and captaining demps- Y/N?

Wigan have been playing well in recent weeks but Fulham will be more patient than the big teams have been and will be well aware of them after the Arsenal match. I think it will be a close match, who else do you have?

Dempsey

Is that my strongest 11?

Still not convinced that Newcastle or Swansea will keep a clean sheet

yea that what id go with too

Blatter

I put Tevez and Aguero in for next week because I think City will run riot at Wolves and score 5 or 6 goals. A gamble, but one I'm prepared to take.

Im still debating doing this transfer.. would be for a 4 point hit and both people behind in my league have dempsey.

dont think i want to take the hit as i will prob take one next week, but its so tempting especially as ill be getting him next week!
wigan have to crumble eventually right?

cup of tea

Martin Jol said that Pog and Aj are back fit so that means by the time the DGW comes around Demps will be pushed back into midfield again more then likely

manual_man

Any early lineups for the Arsenal game??

Mr Moon

I'll be the Wolves City match will be a dull 0-0 now after everyone stocking up on City players expecting a route!!

Down with that sort of thing :mad:

5-0 to Cit-eh with a brace from Silva! :pac:

I've captained Tevez so I'm hoping for a route too, but it'd be typical if that happened

Haha. Well who knows. Nobody expected them to get a cs against Sunderland! Though with the form City are on I'd expect them to destroy them

Glad it's worked out for you. Now anything he does next week will be a bonus.

Anyone else find that money is not really an issue right now? Just played a wildcard to set myself up for the double gameweek and the two weeks after, and I have £8.4 million left in the bank. Feel kinda bad having it just sit there, but the in form and favourable fixture players right now aren't that expensive.

Course it doesnt, pretty much irrelevant in the last few GW's. Thats before we get into the madness of the last GW of the season where form often goes completely out the window unless the team has something to play for or is playing at home

No problem !

will do so at 6pm on Sunday

So..........................
It seems the way to go was drop RVP and keep Rooney (I did I the opposite :mad:)
And to go with Aguero over Tevez (of course I went with Tevez)

Anyone thinking of loading up on Spurs players, there's big rumours of unrest in the camp, so you may be better served looking elsewhere

Yeah I had planned on getting in VDV now I'm thinking Pineaar instead. Might take an 8 point hit
Valencia, Sig and Greham out, Pineaar, Cabaye and Cisse to come in.
