What do recommend here lads,?

I'd do a lot of tinkering with that if it was my team. The most obvious as Jimmy said is that your defence is very expensive, 2 over 5m is enough, plenty of value in cheaper guys, you should dump Krul as well to save more money. Your midfield is poor, you could bring Fellaini in next gameweek for starters and Bale or Mata will be far better than Santi IMO, Puncheon or Ramires will be better than Schneiderlin, Sidwell and Sterling are good mid price options so no harm holding onto them. I'd drop Tevez also, depending on the money you have to play with to improve your midfield either downgrade or upgrade him,
Not an awful lot you can do in a hurry though.

id keep cole as he's the cheapest guaranteed starter for chelsea and they keep clean sheets. id get cuellar for riise, saves a million, and sunderland not bad for clean sheets despite a poor season. and i'd use that million to get in snodgrass for sterling. id also try get in puncheon for schneiderlin if you have the funds.

Thanks for the advice lads, this is how its looking now. Took the 4 point hit

Jimmy Iovine

Hernandez could be a great signing with Rooney out. Not sure I'd have him and RVP in my team though.

You still need to sort out your midfield. That should be your main focus now that you have a bit of money in the bank (I presume from the Tevez -> Hernandez move).

Copper_pipe

Ya I have 3.3 in the bank now, already took the -4 hit. Don't want to give my opponent an easy cup fixture

nct tester

michu out for the weekend apparently and possibly next one but wouldnt dream of getting rid.

LostBoy101

Aye I would stick with Michu and it's important that you always have a decent backup on the bench to back him up.

8-10

Nolan as mentioned is a weak link but i like his next 3 (Reading, Norwich, Sunderland) after which I plan to swap for Fellaini and downgrade Evra.

Thoughts? I'm about 1,060pts and looking to keep Jan wildcard till near the end of the month....advisable?

nct tester

sunderland away and norwich home are not as easy a fixture as they may look as united and city found lately. nolan's been dire lately. i think thats a decent team otherwise.

Drop Mignolet for a cheaper keeper and upgrade Pog to Ruiz!

The Phantom Jipper

Begovic / Rudd

Zabaleta / Luiz / Gibbs / Demel / Harte

Mata / Fellaini / Bale / Cazorla / Puncheon

Suarez / Ba / Berbatov


Any suggestions? My wildcard is currently active.

Also i'm conflicted about what to do down the line once the DGWers are cleared out; downgrade to the likes of Ruiz and upgrade midfield to Gerrard/Michu/Walcott in place of Cazorla and Puncheon, or use some cash reserves to upgrade strikers to include the likes of Tevez / somebody else?

Also getting RVP in at this stage is off the table, I wouldn't be able to handle the chorus of "I told you so" i'd get from the other league members :-P Any suggestion much appreciated!

What do you guys think of my team:





Turnbull,

Zabaleta, Evans, Demel,

Fellaini, Walcott, Puncheon, Mata,

Ba, Suarez, RVP.

Subs: Begovic, Michu, Shawcross, Martin R.




I just got Turnbull in for the DGW as I had Bunn, and then Begovic has a tough fixture. I know I have 3 Chelsea players now with Ba gone to them, so I was thinking of swapping Mata to Bale in a few weeks depending on both of their performances.

What do ye guys think of the starting line up, and what do think of the Mata situation, leave him be or switch in Bale in the next few weeks? Also, Michu is a goal scoring machine and I have had him since the start but Pucheon has a DGW and sometimes can give a good return so should I leave him starting or put in the reliable Michu?

Mata and Bale should be the core of your midfield

That can't be done unless I sell Fellaini and Walcott or Michu and downgrade, and why would I do that when they are all giving good returns. I might just leave it for a while.

Post a screenshot of your team with prices beside them. Immediately I can see areas in your defence I would change...

I can't do a screenshot on this laptop, I'll type it out.. I always thought my defence was solid enough though.

Bego 5.1 Turnbull 4.3

Evans 5.8 Shawcross 5.5 Martin R 4.1 Demel 4.0 Zabaleta 5.8

Fellaini 7.4 Walcott 8.7 Michu 7.5 Puncheon 4.8 Mata 9.9

Ba 8.3 Suarez 10.4 RVP 13.7

Team value: 108.3

In the bank: 0.3

I had Bale in for 9.5 but swapped him for Mata.

LostBoy101

Thoughts? I have 0 in the bank at the moment.

Aye thats right and I might look into getting Ruiz or Hernique (if he performs well for Wigan) and fit in Bale somewhere.

We would need to see your subs to give a proper opinion...and where have you hidden RVP??? :eek:

farranreeboy

Subs are Cerny Harte Ben Davies Marveaux RVP costs a lot of money i did have him but i wanted to improve the team all around

Swallow your pride and take your medicine like a man!!!

Walcott instead of Cazorla. Michu instead of Cazorla is another option but you have really missed the boat on Michu, unless you had him and got rid of him.

Downgrade Luiz and try get RVP in if you can. He helps ease some of the stress which this game can give you especially when it comes to difficult captain decisions.

Decided to use my Wildcard and have settled on this. Only player I can't fit in is Suarez but happy with the rest, just hope Ba plays twice now.

Only change i would make is downgrade Davies, and upgrade Bunn to Federici - You'll want two keepers who start - and also Ruddy will likely return very soon ousting Bunn. Nice outfield 10 though

Thanks, yea I'll have to sort my keepers out eventually, but not too concerned at the moment as Norwich fixtures are ok. Might get de Gea in a few weeks and downgrade my defence.

I had Aguero over Christmas and he did well for me, I might get Tevez in for Ba after the doubles if he starts scoring again.
