How does this look?
The big players transferred out were Szcz, Cabaye and Lukaku. The rest of the transfers were just bench fodder
Is the team stronger with Szcz, Cabaye and Lukaku or Krul, Eriksen and Adebayor?
Room for Aguero by downgrading Mert to Kos and selling Rooney
Ade and Mutch wouldn;t be bought until the end of WC as I could put in JRod and Huddlestone to make 0.1 from each.
Edit: Too much invested in Spurs attack I think.
Edit 2: I think by doing the above it's only a sideways move. No real improvement and it's using the WC just for the sake of using it
Szcz - Krul is probably a backward step
Cabaye - Eriksen - Who knows? Much of a muchness
Lukaku - Adebayor - Same as above but that transfer can be done at any time since Lukaku is the more expensive
It might be wiser to just sell Jedinak for Huddlestone today and move Huddlestone on in last week of WC for Mutch. Huddlestone will hopefully have made 0.1 by then0 -

All that is clear is that 3 of my midfielders will be Silva, Walcott and Oscar. I already own the first 2. Couts/Ozil/Erikson/Gerrard are fighting for spot number 4 and 5 will be somebody 5.0 or under.
Suarez stays but Rooney does concern me. Moyes saying he needs rest and the general nigglyness of his injury but he could easily be rested for the FA and League cup and be fit and rearing to go. Welbeck could be a short term option. 3rd spot is then between Ade/Lukaku/J-Rod until somebody new and shiny arrives into the league
Defence writes itself. With Kos, Coleman and Mickey T staying (as long as the hammy is ok) and probably Ward and Chester in for BTurner and Danny G.
Even if I do use the WC this GW I won;t activate it for a while so I can have the option of not using it. Chasing prices rises is not a priority anymore as the period between GW3 and GW4 didn't yield as much bounty as I'd hoped. Plus most of the players I'm after don't seem to be the real bandwagoners. I can sustain a rise from the likes of Erikson or Oscar and Ade's injury keeps him sweet for a while too.
Also I have 8000 words to write before the 15th of Jan and I don't need the distraction the WC brings once I get cracking :pac: :eek:0 -

This is what has stopped me playing the WC already. Chasing price rises and wanting RVP with first WC destroyed my season. I'm not chasing rises this time so might just hold off until last week and re-jig my bench wuth the WC0 -
Will play the wild card at the end of the month.
Want to keep:
Zabaleta
Coleman
Yaya
Walcott
Suarez
Sagna
Should they stay or should they go now:
Chester
Lallana
Henderson
Barkley
Rooney
Adebayour
Out the door:
Mignolet
Gazzinaga
Shaw
Would like to get:
Hazard
Aguero
Thinking of settling on:
Don't want to double up on Hull/Crystal Palace defenders though -- any other teams with cheap defenders that rotate well?0 -

You've outlined my defensive strategy there.
My planned goalkeepers are Mannone and McGregor. I just have to get McGregor in for Harper. No rush to do it until the wildcard as Mannone has three good fixtures up soon.
My present defence are:
Mertesacker, Terry, Coleman (as my three expensive defenders), Ben Turner and Ward.
The plan is that the three expensive defenders will play pretty much every week barring injury and suspension. All three have the potential to keep a clean sheet against anyone and the potential to score against anyone.
Turner and Ward are then there to fill in. I could go for Chester but I'd prefer to have McGregor.
Hull for me are one of the best teams in the league defensively. They lost 3-0 to Liverpool yesterday but that was only the second time (United last week being the first) where they conceded more than two in a game.
Even when they do lose, they don't get a drubbing and Bruce has them setup well. I often say I go for managers rather than teams and Pulis and Bruce are two managers with pedigree for clean sheets.
They only lost 2-0......thus fully re-enforcing your entire argument!
