Not a bad idea at all, his price is going up all the time though, if I was you I'd try to save a bit of money also to help out the rest of your team, I'd get rid of Santi for Michu. You could upgrade Dyer or Mackie with the change. your defence isn't bad butI'd say Jonny Evans days are practically numbered for this year, look to get Vidic in as soon as he's back in action, next two weeks for sure. Bit of work to do on the team but shouldn't take long.

Thanks a million, ya Santi been disappointing recently, might get rid of RVP for someone cheaper too. I want to have both Kompany and Vidic but dont think I will be able to afford it!

Getting rid of RVP is not a good choice as you may shoot yourself in the foot when he scores a hat-trick and he gets you the most points when needed.

Bulking up on two expensive defenders will not work as clean sheets are very rare so far this season and you are better off spending the money on good midfielders (Fellani, Silva, Michu etc..) and there is a range of strikers that will get you more points than defenders.

In my case I bulk up on cheap defenders who will get clean sheets an odd time e.g. Cameron for Stoke. This gives me enough money in the bank to spread on midfielders and forwards.

Hi all,

Any thoughts on possible moves:

Gk: Bego (Krul)

Def: Cuellar / Rafael / Demel / Gorkss / Clyne

Mid: Santi / Michu / Sterling / Silva / Walters

Fwds: Ba / RvP / Suarez

Defence needs a tweak - Rafael to Enrique (not too sure about 3 Liv in team)

Or Gorkss to ???

Will probably shift Santi to Bale or Felani next GW

Thanks, Dub

Fizman

This is how I'm set.

5.5m in the bank so Lambert -> Suarez next week.

Need some feedback on my team.

Foster - Begovic

Clark - Clyne - Cameron - Mertesacker - Rafael

Michu - Fellaini - Dempsey - Cazorla - Sterling

Fletcher - RVP - Ba


I've been doing ok recently, and I'm happy enough with my team. But I'm unsure where to go from here. I'm unhappy with 2 players:

Foster - apart from being injured, he will not rotate well with Bego when he does come back.

Fletcher - carrying a knock, and not performing (he'll probably go and bag a hattrick tonight!).

But when I dump Fletcher, I'm unsure if I should downgrade (Lambert/Long...and re-invest elsewhere), try and upgrade (Tevez/Suarez etc....this would necessitate a transfer or two elsewhere to free up funds) or move sideways (Berbatov). I'm not too sure how I feel about Ba either, so could get rid of him and Fletch, and go for something like Lambert and Tevez.

Anyway, opinions welcomed!

Ba has to go imo, they have City, United, Arsenal, and Everton in 4/5 of their next fixtures, and they're not playing particularly well either. Fletcher is obviously another priority. Foster can wait til after those two i say, you still have super Bego. Have you any spare funds? And how many free transfers do you have? (These details are important)

0.1 in bank, and have 0 free tansfers (transfer already used this week). So won't be making any changes this week - mainly trying to decide my overall strategy for the next 2/3 weeks, want my team in best possible shape going into christmas.

In that case i'd save next weeks transfer and then possibly consider Fletch-Berb(home v SOU) and Ba to A.N. Other (possibly Giroud/Podolski - Arsenal have nice fixtures) though you'd probly need an extra transfer to free up funds... might well be worth it though. No need to sell Foster i say, they have nice fixtures and he might even be back for this weekend

Yeah I'm VERY close to being able to do Fletch to Berba. If Berba goes down 0.1 I'll be able to do it. I'm not convinced by Giroud or Pod yet, though they do have nice fixtures.

There is not need to sell Foster, but as I say, he doesn't rotate well with Beg, so I was thinking if I got in someone like Guzan, I could bank 0.4, and have someone that rotates better with Stoke (though Villa have some tricky fixture over the christmas). Also considering swapping Foster for Vorm in a few weeks. Vorm's return date is Dec 16th, and a Vorm - Bego pairing would be pretty good. Vorm's value is down to 5.1 now too.

Good gameweek but my head is wrecked trying to choose the right transfer for next game week and also looking to fit a chelsea player back into the squad most likely torres for the gameweek after.



I want to get silva in but johnson - silva is .1 short (will silva drop over the week?)

enrique - rafael is another option

augero - tevez would leave funds for long to torres or johnson to silva ( but i really think aguero will come through)

want to keep carloza with arsenals next few fixtures looking tasty

hmmmm what to do

Rafa is becoming overpriced imo. He's not a guaranteed starter with Vidic coming back and Smalling/Jones/J Evans all in contention. Fergie likes to rotate and he might tame him tactically sooner than later, e.g. see what happened in the Reading game.

Why take out Enrique when he has some good fixtures coming up, and there's always the possibility he might get shifted up? Even as a defender he still gets the ball in dangerous places.

And Silva over Bale or Mata? That seems hardly the right move considering how much more returns they've given and how integral they are to their team's overall performance. When Mata and Bale don't play their team's suffer significantly. I suppose Silva is a differential player.

I have the below team with 5M in the bank. Not sure what would be the best transfer this week,
thinking tevez-> rooney or maybe sterling->mata. Any thoughts?

Schwarzer - Begovic
Cameron - Rafael - McCartney - Jose Enrique - Shorey
Fellaini - Sterling - Walters - Kacaniklic - Michu
Van Persie - Tevez - Defoe

With no game for Chelsea and Sunderland away to United I really think I need to ship out Cole and Fletcher this week.

I'm not really sure whether I should go for another bargain basement defender like Joey O'Brien or someone and upgrade Fletcher to Tevez, get in a decent defensive option like Gibbs/Nastasic and bring in Berba or get in a cheap defender along with Berba and save some money for next week.

Anybody care to give me a little advice?

Keep Suarez in mind (even though you have 2 pool players). If you are confident Tevez will start every game, then go for it. Berbatov is a good option but he hasnt scored in a good while and Fulham are missing Ruiz.

Regarding your third option, if you get Berba and a cheap defender...where are you planning to use that money? I can't see where it's needed?

Mata doesn't have a game. See my last post regarding Tevez. I have no city coverage. They have a super game vs Reading next week but anyone care to say for sure who starts up front? I can't and I don't even want to any more. Easy game vs Reading...Dzeko and Aguero? Play just Dzeko and give Scott Sinclair a chance?

Personally, I'd have Silva as City attacking coverage and no one else. Could you do Tevez to Suarez and Kakaniclic to Silva?

I don't think I'd be able to fit him into my own team but I think YaYa Toure could be a decent mid price midfield option, very impressive in all city's positive play last week, always capable of scoring/assists, if city are to be resurgent he could play a big part, he'll certainly be there for almost every minute, Just a thought.

Suarez is too much of a stretch financially I think unless I do some shifting around in my MF.

The idea of getting a cheap defender and Berbatov is just based on fixtures, i.e. get Berba in this week ahead of QPR game, get Tevez in next week, after Newcastle away and before Reading at home.

keane2097

Actually just realised I can ship Ba instead of Fletcher and bring in Suarez along with a cheapy defender. Might be the best bet of all?

Ye thats the same move im looking at, think Ba and fletch have be moved. More so Ba as think all talk of Jan move will disrupt him and newc struggling too much-
Would risk torres but no game
Defoe looks an option for good price
Tevez is too much rotation risk even tho FF gold when plays
Suarez, well looks best of bunch and guaranteed shots and game time

dahat

Torres or Mata,Who to get in for GW18,getting Torres means i can get Bale but as i already have Defoe i am not sure.....



This is my current squad,i am going to change as follows hopefully...

Johnson to Bale/Mata GW18?
Defoe to Torres/Suarez GW18?
Cuellar to Clark,this move is to get another .1 in the bank.

Any advice on these moves?most of the others are keepers for a while yet,Carzola and Gibbs will go in GW22 as Arsenal's fixtures take a turn for the worse then..

Kylo Ren

I have two FT. I am thinking Bale to someone and Fletcher to Rooney. Any advice?

Fizman

Quietly confident of a 2nd strong week in a row. Having just brought in Suarez for Lambert, the team looks like this.

SpaceCowb0y

Wish i could say i was confident going into this week, but im not!

Have been planning on bringing Suarez in for Defoe all week but with Walcott 50/50 if he dosnt play there is a chance i wont have 11 playing as Kacankilc rarely plays! anyone any suggestions?

Welcome! Nice team btw.

Bale is not 100% guaranteed to be back so keep an eye on that. You have City, United, Arsenal and Chelsea covered.

Otherwise, I would do with that transfer. Get Caulker out when you get a chance although a 4.9 he's not a massive priority.

roryc

Got rid of Fellaini for Silva. My last few transfers have been wasted, really need a bit of luck on this one...

With Bale, Enrique and Fletcher all doubtful, and Rafael and Sterling possibly rested, I might end up with 9 players this week! Hopefully Bale plays at least. I also think Fletcher could perform against Southampton if he's fit.

Despite the fact that I'm being forced into using my subs, I'm still happy enough with how my team's looking. One decent week where I gain 25 points and I'll crack the top 1,000.
