Don't think I'll make any changes this week.

Teams worth £108.3m with £0.2m in the bank. All my defenders are at home, and the only dilemma I have is Nolan/Sterling.



Might save up both transfers for next week and ship out McAuley and Clark. Captaincy will be staying on RVP

S.M.B.

I especially like how that team has become more and more like mine over the past few weeks.

With a current GW score of 26 and my hopes resting on 3 West Ham players i clearly need some help with my team!

Considering the exciting move of McCartney to Cameron this week, think ill hold onto Fellaini for the time being.

Does anyone want to point out where i may be going wrong as i havn't made progress in weeks really and have plummeted this week!

Yep. You've brought in Rafael, Sterling and Mata over the last few weeks, I've brought in Berbatov and Baines. It's not that surprising our teams are similar.

It's just bad luck, that is a very strong FF team, Van Persie will score plenty, Berbatov played brilliantly in a 10 man team, Mata only had 20 minutes, Bale was in a 10 man team also and still could have scored more than he did, Fellaini just can't score in every match but will continue to rack up points.
No major surgery required there.

I thought you had put S.M.B on ignore.

Who do you have? Ridgewell I would of thought from those two.

Rafael, Cuellar, McCartney, Gorkks and searching for a fifth. I play a 3 man back line, always.

I'd agree with the above.

Swiper the fox

Caulker or Baird would provide long term value for under 5m, potential for goals in both of them.

I already have Begovic, don't want to double up on Stoke defense.
I think Foster being back next gameweek could prove potentially beneficial to their defensive back four as a whole. Hence, scouting a WBA defender with goals. In this case, Ridgewell.

keane2097

Caulker surely.

Not quite sure about Caulker. The man was dropped for the previous game even though he was in form.

Baird, I don't really know.. Fulham aren't really profilic on the road and concede a lot. I'd prefer to stay off Fulham defenders unless it's Riise or Hangeland but sadly, the former is wayy above my budget and the latter has a three game suspension.

Caulker was injured on saturday, he definitely would have played,
Baird is playing in midfield for Fulham and has scored a couple of goals, putting himself into good positions etc.

McCartney is the most inexpensive fullback in the WHU defense capable of chipping in with the odd assist. For me, he was a bargain at 3.9 and returned some fabulous points in weeks (most of which were sitting on the bench because I opted to play an overpriced and better-fixtured Baines ahead of him for 6 gameweeks) when other defenders were conceding a lot of goals.

He's your best bet if you don't have Jääskeläinen who seems to be in good form.

Ah well, you are planning on Cameron who has better clean sheet prospects to I guess I can't talk you out of it - But what I can do is to ask you to reconsider.

Im quite happy with McCartney ive had him from the start and bar the time he was out with injury has been a bargain, the problem is i brought Nolan in a few weeks back and have now got 3 West Ham players as i have Jääskeläinen too!

I might actually look at bringing Ruddy in for Jussi instead which would free up a bit of cash instead of doubling up on Stoke defense and spending money!?

Demel's return to fitness puts McCartney's place under threat as well doesn't it?

Unless Demel plays Leftback (which I doubt he does), I don't see why he would be a threat. Demel's a rightback/center-half.

Gutsy move though there is some logic in that. I did that 2 gameweeks back. He rotates well with Begovic (Home/Away) and that's what tempted me.

We'll know more around 8 O clock tonight, any 2 of Demel, McCartney and O'Brien will play in the 2 full back positions, personally I'm hoping that big Sam sticks with McCartney but my natural pessimism is telling me that he won't

I think he might drop O'Brien

Want2know

My current team:

Begovic | Jaaskelainen

Clark | Demel | Simpson | Ridgewell | Cameron

Mata| Michu | Piennar | Nolan | Kacaliknic

Van Persie | Berba | Ba

I think my team needs alot of work, especially in Midfield.

Currently Im thinking of Pienner OUT/BYBYE/SO LONG. Im thinking of getting Silva and also temped to get Walcott??

I know I need to get rid of Kacaliknic but will look at doing this for a Sunderland or Reading player for GW16

Any other suggestion greatly appreciated. Had a terrible gameweek so feel I need the advise.

I'm sure what you meant to say was "I HOPE he will drop O'Brien". I'm in the same boat, if McCartney doesn't play I'll only score 2 defenders.

Already have Ruddy, mate. Don't want to double up on Norwich defense. Thanks for the suggestion though. He's a good attacking fullback, might bring him in later on but Norwich just don't seem to score enough goals.

he's only got 1 assist but 5 CS all of which were at home

what about a southampton defender, although they've no CS, 4/5 next games are at home, worth the risk?

tell us how much you have in the bank, and how many free transfers you have
