GW 18 Transfers

BroLo

Yea, I'm hoping he's back. Need to ship out Ceullar for Cameron next week to get some Stoke cover, although I might wait and see if he drops, given the bad run he's in for, but that said Ceullar will still be getting less points for me.

Stoke have some tough fixtures coming up.

Yeah, but will a bad run for Cameron still give me more points than Ceullar?

GetWithIt

I have Sterling but am actually hoping he is resting this GW (18) to guarantee he plays in GW 19.

In GW 18 Man U, Chelsea, Villa and Swansea play on the 23rd. everyone else plays on the 22nd. GW 19 everyone plays on the 26th, apart from Arsenal/West Ham who have no game.

I currently have the bare 11 for GW 19, I should have 12 with the free substitution but I have 3 from Man U/Chelsea/Swansea who must have a high possibility of being rested.

Mr.Prodston

Just watching MOTD now as I didn't have a chance at the weekend. Was thinking that Nasri could be a great little addition at just 8.0 as a cheaper differential to the big hitters. Of course he gets injured ruining my genius. Will keep him in my thoughts come wildcard time in a few weeks though.

BroLo

Bale & Enrique officially fit again. Both should play so my team is lining up decently enough now.



Need to get Ceullar out next week probably, maybe Shorey too.

Any advice? Brought in Puncheon for Noble and Yaya for Fellaini, Sterling on the bench because he's due to be rested, debating putting him back in for Puncheon, only I'm afraid Rogers will leave him on the bench and bring him on at the end? How likely is that if he's rested?

roryc

Yeah great news with Bale and Enrique, hopefully Rafael and Fletcher can pull through too!

Rafael out for United

Ideas on if J.Evans will play?

Need to shift out Dempsey and another player in order to get Mata in, need some Chelsea cover

I'm not sure Evans is the greatest idea, United have all their centre backs fit, including Vidic, and SAF has said he will rotate over christmas

Yep - SAF Press Conference: Rafael out for United. Evans back, Vidic may not start http://goo.gl/DIrUl

He's very likely to be rested, Rodgers said he will be resting him over the Christmas period. I think Puncheon is a better shout than sterling anyway.

roryc

I'll be fielding a backline of Enrique, Nelson and Cameron.

And if Fletcher and Sterling don't play, Clark (Chelsea away) comes in.

Not looking forward to my defensive scores this week!

BroLo

Goin with the team I posted above. Still torn for captain choice, Tevez could run riot, but mightn't even play, and RVP wouldn't perform as well as Tevez if he does start. Ahhhhhhh

SlickRic

with Rafael out, Smalling could start again, which would help me a great deal.

lads i'm going to take a 4 point hit to bring in torres for suarez but i don't know whether or not to take it this week or next? suarez to outscore torres this week> against fulham?

supackofidiots

Start Mata, start McCauley. Bench/replace Fellaini and bench/replace Rafael. Can't say with who as I don't know resale value and how much you have in the bank, or how many free transfers you have.

1 FT. 1.2 in the bank.

Do you think it might be worth playing the wildcard altogether?

Not necessarily, you don't have the strongest team, but using it now would be rather wasteful as you will probably need to use it again in the new year.

I'd say hold off and change your team over a bit of time.

roryc

Sterling probably won't play, and Rangel is unlikely.

I would wait until next gameweek. You wont have to take the points hit then as you will have the free transfer.

Completely forgot to even look at whether the other players will play. WC may be the way to go, but I'm gonna take a step back before I give some awful advice :P

anyone know what time the gameweek picks go up on ff scout?

I can't understand why you would take a points hit to do that, you must have absolutely zero faith in Suarez scoring at home to Fulham, Villa are stingy enough at the back as we saw last week, do it next week if you are desperate to dump Suarez.

With the Jan Wildcard coming up, I wouldn't use the other one now. I've been fighting for weeks with myself to take a jumbo points hit but my head has stomped my heart down every time. It's only 2 weeks away now. So I'm hoping my mess of a team can hold tough.

I'm going to have so much fun coming up with my brand new unbeatable team come Jan

What do you mean when you say ''take the hit next week''?

Do you plan on making 2 transfers next week?

I think you are confusing people when you say ''take the hit'' if you only plan on making 1 transfer next week.

sorry, the plan was suarez to torres this week but with fellaini going nuts i had to do fellaini to yaya instead. the plan for next week was simpson to nastasic. i still really want torres in my team for the next few games, especially with suarez playing stoke away next week

Santi101

Torres is still muck in my view, watch him closely at Leeds and he's falling over the ball constantly. Finally scored a tap-in when Hazard unselfishly rolled it to him.

I wouldnt want him tbh, Suarez has cooled down in recent weeks but he'll score again no doubt, better player overall for me.
