    Post up your team, and how much money you have to work with in those 3 positions.

    Aguero, Suarez, Yaya, Hazard and Mata are all top dollar, but the question is 'can you afford NOT to find the funds for three or four of them.
    Some have five of them!

    For me I had kept money back to be sure I could afford him when he returned.

    I have all 5, and my team value isn't exceptionally high. I got suarez and Aguero in immediately after their injuries/suspensions. Apart from Mata, the other 4 are essential, IMO.

    januzaj on the bench thats a few wildcards being rejigged.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Looking at RVP in right now.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    As good as it is to know teamsheets when playing the wildcard it can also lead to some last minute panic moves.

    Need last minute advice: no Ramsey so who will I get for him?
    Johnson? Navas? Lallana?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,175 ✭✭✭hoodwinked


    Bony or ade or dzeko or berba? free transfer on welbeck....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,175 ✭✭✭hoodwinked

    id go nevas, but city are playing spurs...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,229 ✭✭✭G1032


    I have Ramsey. I'm on WC. Need advice. I brought Gnabry in for Noone and dropped Ramsey to the bench.
    Should I sell Ramsey and buy Lallana instead? Lallana going down in price tonight though so seems stupid to but him??

    Should I buy Johnson for Ramsey? Then do I play Johnson or Gnabry?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,221 ✭✭✭A_Sober_Paddy


    Just made more transfers in the last 5 minutes than I've done all week:D

    Krul - McGregor
    Coleman - Dawson - Monreal - Evans - Marriappa
    Ramsey - Gnarby - A.Johnson - Mata - Lallana
    Bony - Suarez - Aguero

    Ones in bold are my starting 11 for tonight

    What ye think

    Lallana since you know hes definitely playing, you will prob bring Ramsay back in at the weekend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,229 ✭✭✭G1032


    This is madness. Crazy crazy. 12 minutes to go.
    I'm going to keep Ramsey on the bench.
    I've Gnabry starting in his place
    I'm keeping Silva
    I'm leaving 1.1m itb

    It's a bit crazy bringing in Ramsey on my WC and him not even starting but it'd be equally crazy getting Johnson or Lallana in for him only to them in a week or two. I want to bank a transfer at the weekend.

    Or panic frantically if ya didnt lock in your team before it closed :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,634 ✭✭✭skippy15


    Put two transfers in at 7:29-:p

    Mutch and Gabidon to Noone AND Flanagan.....
    Not even sure if I wanted to or was it just the thrill of it:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 756 ✭✭✭Who_8_Paul?


    Think I've settled on my WC team except for the last two places, depends if Coleman is out for a while or not, it's down to

    Coleman and Sturridge
    Or
    Baines and Adebayor?

    Already have Suarez obviously but Sturridge should rake in the points in the 2nd half of the season as well if he stays fit, Baines is a bonus magnet though; Adebayor is hot/cold which is frustrating as an FF player. Going with puncheon as a cheap 5th midfielder for a few weeks, can't afford Januzaj, Ki is the only other cheapie that FF scout still have on their watchlist but not so sure about him, Puncheon has gotten the odd goal for me in the past at nice times too

    Just saying


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


    what did you go with in the end?


    when januzaj didn't start i was going to work ramsey in but he didn't start either so i took your advice and downgraded mert to sagna so that i can get ramsey in with 2 transfers the week after giroud plays palace (assuming i bank my transfer this week, and don't get swayed to keep giroud)

    oh and as januzaj wasn't starting and sterling was i threw sterling in for januzaj. he'll only be there for a couple of games until i work ramsey in.
    the sterling one almost got me an assist as he was fouled for the pen.

    and just seen in the matchday thread someone posted that ramsey is out for 4 to 6 weeks so can scrap plans to get him in. i have 1.0 to spare but might leave sterling where he is for now and see how he gets on, maybe use the 1.0 to got evans into my defence? a matter for another day.

    Played my wildcard ahead of the current GW. Could have done with the Ramsey information being made known earlier but overall I am happy enough.

    Speroni - Adrian

    Sagna - Azpilicueta - Evans - M.Olsson - Gabbidon

    Hazard - Mata - Lallana - Ramsey - B.Johnson

    Aguero - Suarez - Adebayor

    Took a chance on Adrian keeping his place because Palace and West Ham rotate nicely over the next while.

    Brought in 2 Norwich players with an eye on GW29 when they definitely have a fixture on what could be a very depleted GW. Then Bradley Johnson goes and gets himself senf off, hopefully he regains his place after the suspension.




  • Wildcarded first thing this morning to prevent the value rot of Lukaku and Coleman.

    Currently looking at

    Boruc - Adrian
    Koscielney - Chambers - Olsson (NOR) - Collins (WHU) - Rosenior
    Hazard - Cazorla - Yaya - Lallana - Noone/Mutch
    Ade - Sturridge - Aguero

    (leaves 0.4m)

    with Cazorla making way for Mata straight away after gameweek's over.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,064 ✭✭✭irishfeen


    Hi lads and ladies, any suggestions/advice on this team would be greatly appreciated - its driving me fcuking mad... Cazorla or Ramsey in particular is really making me think.

    Ramsey out for 6 weeks, no brainer. Cazorla came off last night but sounds like it was just a knock.

    Well Ramsey looks set to be out for another 4-6 weeks according to reports.
    Cazorla may have got a knock himself and be out and add to the fact that Arsenal were kinda rubbish last night im looking elsewhere.
    Lallana or Benarfa (call me craxy bu with remy out, cabaye gone) is where im thinking

    Ah ok I thought he was back sooner rather then later, hadn't heard he was ouut for a further spell - I already have Ozil but to keep him it would mean major changes, maybe sacrificing Mata/poor defense which is hard to justify.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,214 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Where are we getting the Cazorla just a knock thing? Has any info come out?

    Ben Arfa has never been consistent. Newcastle selling Cabaye isnt going to change that! Even putting the chap into a team of on form superstars wouldnt make it happen!

    Probably right, but i want a differential and good chance he will be up front now
    Eriksen's fixtures put me off him, Miralles is an option but not liking Everton at the moment so personally i took a punt on Benafra as if Newcastle score its most likely coming through him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,747 ✭✭✭Swiper the fox


    Best mid for 4.6 or less??
    Did Bellamy do anything last night to suggest he can be a regular, will Noone keep his place??

    Thanks. I've considered it but can't for the life of me figure out how he's in the team as it is, I know they have problems with injuries but there are still better options, Ox came on for him last night it seems and he would seem a much better fit.

    Actually if they sign Draxler before Friday that may no longer be the case. Same with Noone and Zaha. Will have another look at it later.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,747 ✭✭✭Swiper the fox


    I'm going to be driven mad with this thing, the trouble is that I'm very busy at the moment and really shouldn't be fiddling at all.
    In the last two minutes I've decided(just like that) to forego Mata, I love the little guy but wonder if he's going to give us good value, if I'm wrong I'll get him in 3 or 4 weeks for 10m or so. Mirallas is someone I've had for most of the year and may take another punt on him, I can afford Adebayor or similar priced alternative without Mata, with him I was looking at Frazier Campbell quite seriously, Cardiff have good fixtures for scoring goals coming up but I'm a little worried about his place coming under threat.

    Current lineup

    Boruc/Mannone
    Ollson(nor)/Terry/Mert/Bruce/Ward
    Hazard/Yaya/Eriksen/Mirallas/Sterling
    Suarez/Aguero/Adebayor


    If I switch Mirallas or Eriksen to Mata I will switch Ade to Campbell.
    I never ask for opinions but will this time:o

    Myteam value is mediocre enough in comparison to some I know


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,593 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    Unless there's a price rise I want to catch, I'll try and hold off until the last minute and the carnage of deadline day has settled.

    No Arsenal defence coverage is the only flaw I see.

    Bar Palace this weekend I wouldn't say it's essential with Liverpool and Man Utd in the 2 following games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Pretty pleased I went with Delph as my cheap 5th mid. Pity he was 3rd sub today :pac:

    Plays the 90 and can offer a sporadic return if I end up needing him someday.




  • Eeeek, What to do about Aguero?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 387 ✭✭El festino


    Just activated the wildcard..
    Big decision around Aguero.
    Between the wild card and deadline day my brain will be melted..

    You played the wildcard. You have no logical decision to be made about a player who is out for a month.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,798 ✭✭✭Mr. Incognito


    Augerio out for a month

    Wasn't aware he was going to be out for a month when posted earlier.
    That's makes that decision, now its who to bring in for him.

    Looking at their fixtures, Aguero should return for Villa (H) on 8th March. He is 38% to a drop currently.
