Or have you enough for Sturridge?
Although with Cisse going, Remy is first choice.

Yeah I've enough for Sturridge. Only thing is, I'm thinking of getting Aguero in the following week and if I get Sturridge in I won't be able to afford Aguero unless I do Bale to Fellaini.

Liverpool have a few tough fixtures coming up.

I'm thinking of changing Lukaku back out as I've now made my .1 on him and was looking at Sturridge but decided Suarez was enough coverage.

I have a different target in mind now but can't reveal my plans as an opponent in my private league let slip with a few beers in him that he was checking on here for my changes!

thoughts on begovic to de gea?

i'll still have cameron as stoke cover, they're just not doing great lately, when wilson returns they might improve and at that point i'll add wilson in as he's only 4.o

Bunn is my other keeper who can fill in on the weeks when de gea is rested for lindegard.
i have begovic from the start so if i sell him i can't really get him back or i'd lose too much.


edit: just looked at begovic's fixtures and he's next 5 at home are wigan, reading, west ham, wba, villa (and they're in his next 9 matches) i think i'll keep him.

Good move long term, considering Ba not getting every game and Sturridge has done well so far.

Longterm its a great move, but for the week away to Reading you would want to have Ba so I'd delay his exit a week.

I get ya, have RVP,Aguero & Lambert up front, changed Ba for Aguero this week with W/C, although he came off bench.

I don't want to miss the home game RVP has with Southampton though, I think it's well worth the risk.

RVP is the most important cog in the fantasy game, you'd have to get him back, sooner the better.

You could probably get the required funds dropping Suarez and someone else though, unless the rest of your team are indispensable.

I'll hold onto him until the champions league starts back. If utd have the league wrapped up( ie. There coasting) he'll be rested before the big games. City have a handy enough run untill then so hopefully this won't happen.

The ones that would give me enough funds to make the transfer without a points hit really are indispensable.
The way I'm looking at it is Ba is a rotation risk and there may also be a gentlemen's agreement with Newcastle that he will not play that game. So the choice is between having Ba for the Reading away match or RVP for the Southampton home match.

Good logic there, player's being rested when C/L is on is a common pitfall.

Have a few options for this weeks transfer assuming Zab is fit to play..


Ba to Auguero as this would be a season move,i have Mata to cover my Chelsea angles.A lack of City attacking players worries me so Auguero being fit fits the bill.

Suarez to Auguero another option then shifting Ba to Sturridge after Liverpool play City,Liverpool play Arsenal and City in there next two.The only problem is Suarez seems fixture proof and looks certain to play 90 every week which Ba isn't.

Any thoughts on this welcome......

Anyone else think Fletcher of Sunderland would be good, Swansea home, Reading away, Arsenal home, WBA away.

Out of cup too so no match til next tuesday

7.0 million too

Yep, just can't afford him! He's that sort of price that if you have him, you have to be playing him

Have 2 FT's this week if I need them, not sure what I'm doing yet though. City seem to be tightening up now with three clean sheets on the trot so could be worth bringing in Zabaleta if his injury isn't that bad.

Just saw Fellaini's next two games after Southampton tonight are West Brom (H) and Villa (H), so I think I might have to cater for this, he could go nuts. Everton have a great run coming up.

Ba + Marveaux OUT
Pog + Fellaini IN

Will leave me 1m in the bank to fix up my defence the following week. I'm wary that Ba will start against Reading though and he could run riot, scored two against them earlier in the season.

It's a tough situation. You are bringing in a player who could run riot for a player that could run riot.

HOWEVER, Ba is a rotation risk whereas Felliani is not. Benitez is Benitez. He will rotate when you expect him not to. You hav Chelsea covered with Mata.

I'd make those transfers, suck it up if Ba does well next week and relax knowing then you have a midfield/forward line that picks itself each week. As you said, you'll have the money (and subsequent transfers) to mix up the defense.

Yeah I think I'll have to go for it, like you say it takes the hassle of picking my front 8 out of the equation. I have history with Everton players though, would not surprise me in the slightest if he got banned/injured immediately. Has already happened a number of times this season! Hopefully he has a cracking game tonight but scores 2 or 3.

Who do you rate higher between Clichy and Nastasic? Neither is guaranteed a game.

I agree Ba has to go too much risk of rotation and mata is the best bet for a chelsea player which u have. Chelsea do have 2 cup games before the next league game so them games will probably give you an indication on whether ba will start. If you feel he will you could make 1 transfer and then have the two for the following wk to get ba out and upgrade a defender.

Why not get Henriquez of Wigan for 4.5 who should get plenty of games for Wigan,this is assuming 3-5-2 is your formation of choice,this move gives you more money in the bank.

Henriquez is 0.2 more than Pog

I think Nastasic is pretty much seen as a first choice CB at this stage. He might miss the very odd game but I think he is slightly more secure than Clichy. But Clichy is more of an attacking threat but has competition for his place. Out of those two, I'd choose Nastasic, but it's almost a coinflip.

For me, Zab is the best pick of the City back line. He bleeds for the club, puts his body on the line at both ends of the field and is clearly favored by Mancini.

AdpRo

Bale + Ba + Cahill OUT

Fellaini + Aguero + Clichy IN


4 point hit

Leaves me with the following

Bego (Bunn)

Gibbs / Clichy / Davies (Harte / Demal)

Walcott / Fellaini / Michu / Mata (Marveaux)

Aguero / Suarez / RVP

0.5m in the bank. Someone please tell me I'm doing the right thing!! Dropping Bale worries me but he has hardly ever scored more that 3 points for me this season!

God knows I've been doing well with coinflips this season! I was leaning towards Clichy but you seem to have the midas touch so might go with Nas. Won't be until next week anyway.

Agreed on Zab but can't afford him.

opinions?

my front 8 before any transfers are...

Fellaini, Walcott, Michu, Mata, Marveaux, RVP, Suarez, Ba.

would you consider sturridge and aguero for suarez and ba.

SlickRic

i would.

do you think there's a significant advantage in that one though?

i think Pog is more likely to reward me with points than Marveaux. also Suarez is less of a rotation risk with European competition coming back than Ba. also, with no European competition, and 4 strikers to keep happy, Aguero might still annoy me by being dropped.

i see Silva as less of a risk.

it's tricky though.

Ba & Puncheon out ---- Le Fondre & Bale in.

Leaves my front 8

Michu, Bale, Hazard, Walcott, Fellani

--- RVP ---- Dzeko -- Le Fondre

mentioned it about the capital one cup a couple of weeks back the finals feb 24 gw 27. Depending on the finalists games that could be called off are
Liverpool Swansea
City Chelsea
Villa Arsenal.
Semi final 2nd legs are Tues Wed this week so hold off till then before making transfers as a lot of teams could be in serious trouble come GW27 depending on the finalists. Best case scenario is Bradford getting through as obviously Villa Arsenal then goes ahead. One of the other two games will definetly be off looking like Swansea Liverpool as things stand.

just a reminder about this to anyone who missed it earlier in the thread, might want to hold off on any liverpool players in until after wednesday, if swansea do reach the final sturridge or gerrards next 4 gameweek's are

Arsenal (a)
City (a)
West Brom (h)
No Game.

and probably more worrying is that if chelsea turn it around the city v chelsea game will be off in GW 27 and i think most of us have at least 3 players in total from those clubs.
