And bring in Dzeko for who?

Rooney more than likely.

Hmmmm. No way am I selling Rooney. Five goals, seven assists and 15 bonus in the last 9 GWs and he was suspended for one of them. Dzeko would be tempting but it'd have to be Lukaku I let go.

I was just thinking of the Palace game and I'll only have Silva as City cover and won't have him at all if he gets booked against Liverpool

Must remember this, quite likely he may get a tactical booking i'd say.

Ya. He just might. Ah, I'll deal with that problem if and when it arises. Probably best way to go now.

Its rooney or lukaku out for me if I get dzeko in. I have lukaku since he was 7.4 and will definetly want him back so for that reason it would have to be rooney.

I just can't wait for the January WC.

YeatsCounty · 21-12-2013 10:27PM

Provided he gets through tomorrow unscathed, Walcott will be in for Sess. I don't know whether to stick with Koscielny or not. It seems like he'll be back soon but if not, Evans can replace him.

Ravel Morrison will just have to stay until January. Yay.

Same here but last week's Rooneygate shenanigans are very fresh in my mind. I can absorb a 0.1 rise if needs be.

Think ill do bannan to sterling.

He'd be surprised because Walcott plays on Monday........

Haha well my reply came across quite curt when I read it back :pac:

I have Silva myself so it's a problem I could end up facing myself, who knows really. I'd wait until the 27th to take the hit though when we have a better idea of who'll play. Liverpool may not fold too much.

They may not but this is City we're talking about. They've obliterated United, Spurs and Arsenal at the Etihad.

Look at the amount of chances Liverpool gave Everton. Everton scored 3 and Mig still got three save points!

City will put those away.

Must ignore this logic you speak of as i would need a hit to cover City...I was all set to go clean this week!

Oh I'm not arguing against that at all, I'm just saying I'll tale my City points via Silva if I can and hope for the best.

I think it will be a high scoring game 4 2 to city would be my prediction, the two top scoring teams in the league both with dodgy defences. I'll be going into it without city attacking coverage:eek:

I agree. I'm still going Suarez captain. I had been told at the start of the season that Pellegrini was attack minded and City's defence would suffer and it appears my friend was right.

As a Silva owner I'd love if it was a case of him getting a tactical booking rather than finding out he was rested for that game.

His slate is clean at the end of the calendar year.

If there was ever going to be a "tactical" booking it would have been in the cup so he'd miss Fulham and be available for Liverpool....

Getting a card against Liverpool to ensure he is suspended to play Palace... Would mean that the tactic is to ensure they have him available for the mighty Swansea.....doesn't make a lot of sense.

Doesn't make sense because they could just rest him against palace rather than making sure he gets a yellow late on.

Markx · 21-12-2013 11:18PM

This tactical booking thing is being a bit overplayed surely. He has to make it to Dec 31 - he would probably take his chances....

It makes no sense at all.

The only reason he would be asked to pick up a tactical booking against Pool would be if Pellegrini was afraid to drop him for the Palace game and wanted the suspension as cover.

Pellegrini...the lad who dropped the England Keeper

So, to bring the "Gameweek 18 Transfers" thread back to the topic I have to transfer in a goalkeeper. Have Mignolet and Pantilimon - one has nasty fixtures in front of him, and Pantilimon was dropped today. Would love to get Howard in, given their next fixtures. The only problem is I am short 0.2 to transfer him in for Pantilimon. Mignolet will have to go, and I will be left with only one playing keeper. Anyone else worth bringing in?
Having Howard only will save me the hassle of choosing keeper for 3 or more weeks. Good idea, or not?
Neither of them is dropping/rising tonight, so will definitely wait with this transfer for as long as I can:D

Benimar · 22-12-2013 01:12AM

Marshall (CAR) for Pantilimon. Gives you SOU, SUN, HUL, WHU, AST (all home) over next 5 GWs when rotated with Mignolet.

Good thinking there, the only problem is I don't trust Cardiff at all (but I probably should) - but will definitely consider this. Could be a masterplan, and Howard in next week for Mignolet, if no injuries occur. Thanks.

Damn it, Marshall going up soon, Marshall going in:D I can't believe I just brought in Cardiff keeper instead of Howard. I hope it works out ok, and I don't have to check the prices, and can safely log off from FPL for few days. Thanks Benimar, but i will hunt you down if he gets red card after conceeding 6 goals next week;)

Just done the same move, wasnt in the plans but .1 short of Krul so was marshal or manone to get me to Jan wildcard

Looking at his points history, this can work. I didn't even know of him before.
He looks like his price might go up, so there is more players gambling with Cardiff defence. We are talking 900 - 1000 figures here, but a rise is a rise - i will take it.
148519 people can't be wrong:D

Lemlin · 22-12-2013 02:18AM

Hull City and Sunderland seem to rotate fairly well. That 'keeper combination would only cost 8.6. Mannone at 4.2 and McGregor at 4.4.

Sunderland have tightened up over Poyet thus far, but I just don't know if I'd trust them to hold up their end of the bargain in that combination.

Skippy44 · 22-12-2013 02:24AM

I was contemplating Mignolet to Ruddy (I know!), my other keeper being Kelvin Davis. I'm under no pressure price changes wise tho and may just save the transfer. Mignolet may not keep a clean sheet against city, but I'd wager he'll get save points. On this basis I think I'll bank my transfer, have 2 FT for GW19 and watch Mignolet earn his wages with a beer or three
