Remain to be convinced that he's a certain starter, Eto will start some games yet I suspect.

After his performance I believe he will now be number one. But don't have the balls to put him in my team, especially when there is such a great choice of strikers who are guaranteed to play. Have Suarez/Giroud/Lukaku and this will keep me in line with other players. Wish to have cash to do Giroud to Aguero transfer, but would have to downgrade Ozil to Ramsey, and this is not an option at this moment.

Sturridge out for Aguero for a 4 point hit anyone? Or wait 'til next week for a FT? I have Giroud and Suarez also.

I'd do it. Having two Pool and one Arsenal player up front could be disastrous if they play out a nil-all draw.

Dr. Bre

a lot of people going for aguero this week but im thinking negredo. problem is hes not a guarantee starter. hes on the bench tonite so could that mean he play saturday? what do people think?

Bleating Lamb

Could be regretting this but has fallen around 40 points behind leader in private league so have taken 8 point hit to bring in M Dawson for Zabaleta whose playing time looks v dodgy now Richards is back and dumped Sturridge for Suarez.
Am a tad late buying Suarez methinks but have him ,Lukaku and Giroud up front which is strong.

Negredo didn't start, but he came on after 8 minutes. Him and Dzeko scored during ET.

I'm glad I stuck by Soldado to get 21 pts over the last 2 GWs, but I think I'm going to shift him out for Aguero tonight. I can do it without a hit so I think the timing is right.

Mr. Guappa

My Spurs trio of Dawson, Vertonghen and Soldado have served me well the past two weeks but I think now is the time to take the hatchet to them. I have 2 free transfers and my thinking is Aguero in for Soldado, plus Terry in for Vertonghen.

That would give me:

Boruc - Mignolet

Terry - Dawson - Coleman - Clyne - Chester

Ozil - Ramsey - Michu - Brady - Ward-Prowse

Aguero - Lukaku - Suarez

I would have 0.1 in the bank. My other option is Vertonghen to someone like Williams of Swansea - giving me a rotatable backline and 1.7 in the bank.

Great team IMO

Still a few tweaks needed with Mignolet, Coleman and Michu on thin ice.

Finally getting somewhere lately after a frustrating start. Played the wildcard in GW3 and in the next few weeks Coutinho, Benteke, Chester, Collins, Hernanadez and a few others got themselves injured so I had lots of forced transfers throughout September.

Me too with wildcard.
Agree about players on thin ice (particularly Michu) but you turned the team round good I think

Team is very similar to mine. Same goalkeepers & defence. You have Ramsey Michu WP, I have Hazard Kasami & AJ. Same upfront you have Lukaku I am getting Rooney in for Giroud.

I like your midfield but you have no Utd cover. My only worry as they have some lovely fixtures coming up.

I have the same conundrum regarding Mig & Coleman. Going to downgrade there and upgrade MF ASAP. Have taken a hit this week though to get rid of Moses & Barkley

Who is your 3rd striker? And do you have city cover?

Crash Bang Wall

Boruc/Westwood

Zabaleta/Coleman/Kosielny/Turner/Turner (one Norwich and one Cardiff)

Oscar/Cazorla/Amalifatano/Whittingham/Paulinho

Suarez/Lukaku/Rooney

Im thinking Aguero for Rooney, want to get rid of Paulinho but no idea who to bring in. Have about .5m in the bank

Have 2 transfers so wont be taking a points hit

0.5 in the bank after Rooney -> Aguero or before?
If it's after and you have 7.5 to play with, the I've a feeling Mirallas might be worth a punt at 7.2...that'd leave you with 3 EVE so it might be too much reliance on them.
Alternatively, you could go for someone like Brady and bag the cash for elsewhere, upgrading Cazorla to Ozil for eg.

Goal Involvement Stats

There have been some interesting statistics on Twitter of late about “Goals Involved” in. This is when you divide the minutes played by the total goals and assists of a player to show how often they’ve been involved in a goal for their respective side.



As you can see Luis Suarez has been in blistering form since returning from his ban for biting Branislav Ivanovic. The debates have begun again about whether Luis Suarez is the best player in the Premier League. If you take his controversial side aside and judge him for his football, there is enough evidence to suggest this especially with his six goals and one assist so far this season.

His team-mate Daniel Sturridge is also included in the Top 5 players involved in a goal. Sturridge has scored in 8 out of 9 Premier League games for Liverpool this season and also has two assists to his name.

Sergio Aguero is in second place and has been deadly of late scoring goals for fun – he has seven goals so far this season as well as two goal assists.

Romelu Lukaku has been showing Chelsea fans exactly what they’ve been missing in the early parts of the season scoring for fun at Everton and creating a goal too. He’ll be aiming to beat his tally at West Brom last season and try to reach 20 goals for the first time in England this season.

Loic Remy was quite high on this list a few weeks ago and then Alan Pardew persisted in playing him out wide which has affected his numbers somewhat. He now sits in 5th place just below Sturridge and edging out Aaron Ramsey.

Without a doubt one of the players of the season has been Aaron Ramsey, five goals and four assists have propelled him up to sixth whilst his team mate Olivier Giroud has also matched him in terms of goals and assists but has played more minutes and therefore drops to seventh.

Making up the top ten are Manchester City’s David Silva, Alvaro Negredo and Edin Dzeko. All three come in around the 97-101 mins per goal involvement and having four players in the Top 10 shows that Manchester City, as top scorers in the division, carry a lot of threat and they haven’t even started to play Jovetic as of yet!

You can find the full numbers below. If you do wish to re-use these numbers please do credit this article and our twitter account: @eplindex

Note: The players listed below are those that have played a minimum of 270 minutes so far in the Premier League (note only Premier League goals and assists have been counted).

Happy to see my strikers in at 1,2 and 3 on that index!

Sturridge, Suarez and Giroud. No City cover at the moment. As said though I'd be taking a bit to get Aguero in for Giroud/Sturridge. Definetly keeping Suarez so...

Yeah I saw that after I posted. Bit of a beer head on me.
I be on for that transfer. Trying to get Aguero in too and city have great fixtures.
I think go for it.

Anyone else here agree?
Or not?

What is the majority thought over Michu? He has been a major let down since i brought him in and have been holding onto him purely based on last seasons form and am terrified of letting him go as i know he will start banging them in as soon as i do! "standard!"

That said i'm bored off my tits in work and might just take a 4 point hit to transfer him out for Hazard :P

Seems he's leaving the "standard" banging in to the Europa League this year pal, so far anyway

That said, Swansea's next few fixtures, bar City of course are as delicious as they are tasty.

Just realised my opinion will be of no use to u and is leaving you with even more of a selection headache Sorry

He has been scoring goals just not in the competitions we need him to. Im going to hold for now. Im hoping his form will pick up as he Id like to keep him over the xmas period as he never gets rested.

Debating holding onto Michu, might dump him for Hazard next week.

On the basis of all three posts i will find something else to procrastinate with and leave Michu where he is for the time being! The Cardiff game is The Last Chance Saloon for the hero of last year though!

If he blanks against Cardiff, he's out. I could easily ditch him before that though.

extra gravy

Sold Michu this week so fully expect him to score at least twice in the derby

Who's on your possibilities?

I narrowed it down to him and Oscar two weeks ago and went with Oscar.

The plan for the last 2 weeks was Vidic to Lovren (GW9) and Rooney+Michu to Aguero+Oscar or Hazard (GW10).

I'm 95% positive that I am doing Rooney to Aguero this week and I'm mulling over whether Oscar/Hazard for a hit is better than Michu.

.....Lukaku is the 3rd best performer in FF so far this year* from what I see.
*Based on how many minutes it has taken for him to earn each point.
For every 10mins he plays, he has averaged 1 point, only Suarez and Aguero outperform him.

Suarez 358 mins 46 pts = 7.8 min/point
Aguero 585 mins 64 pts = 9.1 min/point
Lukaku 414 mins 41 pts = 10.1 min/point

Sturridge = 12.0 min/point
Benteke = 16.9 min/point
Ramsey = 11.6 min/point
Brady = 13.4 min/point

I haven't looked at everyone, there are just a few that stood out to look at.

As Rabobank say, past performance is not a guarantee of future performance....

Basically exactly my situation! I pulled the trigger on Rooney to Aguero straight after the City/Chelsea game at the weekend to get in before the price rises but i'm behind in all my private leagues and having Michu consistently site there doing sweet fuck all every week is getting on my tits!

loveBBhate

The early kick off curse might prove hazardous for Eden too so I'd confidently say Michu over Hazard this weekend anyway
