    there hasnt been an issue with the chelsea players yet though and we have a transfer next week to fix it. City was a different story altogether.

    Well my points were about both City and Chelsea.

    The point is that one transfer won't be enough for people who have DGW players like Hazard and were unlucky to have others like Benteke and, this morning, Michu.

    Laudrup had said he wouldn't be back.

    Fair enough my point is that loading up on city was bad but on chelsea wasnt its unfortunate when somebody gets injured we cant predict that.

    Looking at Carroll in for Lukakau,he could bully Reading at home

    I agree but having 5 or 6 players from two clubs like that can lead to problems, no matter what time of season it is. A nice spread of players is always good.

    I have to say I am bit surprised at all the Andy Carroll love!

    I hadn't even considered him...

    Its a one week punt they have a decent fixture and he's in a bit of form. Adeboyar, kone (if wigan have something to play for), sturridge, carroll, aguero all good 1 wk punts.

    Up till this weekend chelsea were 1 of about 6 teams in the league with something to play for there were much riskier options out there. If utd were going for the title most people would have 3 players from them. My midfield 5 is made up of 2 arsenal 2 chelsea 1 spurs player the 3 best teams in the league with something to play for. Agree that 3 city players was not a good move as there was always going to be massive rotation.

    who is most likely to play next weekend, Mata, Hazard or Lamps?? At home Against Everton any of them could do well!

    Best to wait until after their Europa final,see who's fit then. Hazard is a doubt after injury yesterday, but after Michu's recovery, who knows!

    Everton's defence superb lately, including CS away to arsenal and liverpool.

    I wouldn't touch Carroll with a barge pole. I'll be getting in Sturridge for the disaster that has been Lukaku. I'll be benching Benteke with just Tevez and Sturridge up top with 5 in midfield (Mata, Michu, Coutinho, Bale and Walcott).

    Left Lazarous as my third sub as I thought he was a gonner so I really need a goal or two from my captain Walcott on Tuesday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,256 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    Are many thinking of bringing Michu back in if they shipped him out? I still have him and will definitely be playing him. Nice home game against Fulham.

    Why would you get rid of Lukaku over Benteke? Makes no sense.

    Even Rafa wouldn't make a move like that....

    He might have inside info that Lukaku has bet on himself to be sent off and doesn't want to risk even having him as 3rd sub.

    thinking of it myself, but for whom.....

    walcott, lampard, bale, coutinho are my current midfield

    I took a 4 point hit to get in Coutinho and Sturridge.

    Leaves me with a midfield of Michu, Mata, Coutinho, Bale and Walcott. Strikers are RVP, Sturridge and Tevez.

    At the moment I'll be benching Mata as Chelsea have the hardest game vs Everton and have the UEFA Cup final this week.

    Won't be touching my team again this week. Have had enough of FF this year and these crappy half arsed two GWs at the end aren't endearing it to me either.

    Carragher in and is my captain......no brainer.....confirm :D

    Simple enough for me this week, Fellani ---> Coutinho. No more 4 point hits! (even though they have been very effective)

    Fellani has been a major let down in the second half of the season.

    A boring transfer this week. Not bothering with anyone fancy. No points hits.

    Really no hits ? I thought this week was perfect for a points hit . all or nothing with it being the last week .

    Yeah many will probably take hits and I usually take hits in the final week but am happy with my team. Am making a defensive transfer funnily enough.

    FWIW I was 8 points ahead in a leage 2 years ago going into the final day of the season. Took an 8 point hit and won the league by 19 points. I'll let my opponents take the hits this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    last week i did michu to coutinho and planned on doing anichebe to sturridge this week.

    that's still the plan, would have been nice to have done the sturridge transfer last week but hindsight is a great thing, i didn't feel it was worth a 4 point hit because anichebe at home to west ham was a good fixture and he almost scored.

    will wait until sunday to do it though as i have a million leftover so price rises don't concern me and want to get as much team news as possible.

    I had it all planned and then someone on here mentioned he would be playing deeper because of Suarez not playing so I bottled it. Did the same when I had my mind set on bringing in Kone, then Lukaku went goal mad so I changed my original plan. Need to follow my gut a lot more.

    No offense to the guy who wrote that, but that was terrible advice to give anyone. How is Sturridge playing ANYWHERE but striker when Suarez is out. FFS he plays highest up the field even when Suarez IS playing!!!

    And yes, you definitely need to listen to your own gut more, even if it means a points hit.

    it's very annoying when they go against you but sturridge getting 17 points was something no one could have called, there was a chance he'd score, maybe even get a brace but no one could have predicted a hat trick.

    some took a punt on him because they knew they'd be bringing him in for gw 38 anyway and fair play to them, worked out lovely for them.
