Thinking of Rooney to Negredo myself...

Rooney carrying an injury and Moyes's lack of transparency makes me believe maybe its time to back another horse

With all this said, how many games has Rooney actually missed through injury? He missed the Norwich game but I'm not convinced that he wasn't just rested.

Most boring transfer of the week alert!

Harper -> Mannone

Can't think of anything else to do really. Holding off until after Cup games or until he's over 95% to a rise, whichever's first.

I heard the Julio Cesar rumour on the radio again today. I wanted Mannone but will wait until the end of the window now.

It sounds bizarre, but I think Sunderland actually have the best chance of a clean sheet in each of their next 3 fixtures than any other team in their respective 3 games!

Cesar would be brought in for my wildcard then if he signs in time but I can't think of anything else to do this week. Upgrade Milner maybe? 1.3 in the bank but he's my 5th Mid so don't really see the need

Flecktarn

Anyone see any need for a transfer or will I just bank it? .5 in the bank.

Negredo to Rodriguez done, see yis on the 11th!

Moyes, when asked if resting Rooney was an option, replied: "If I could, I would.

"He has missed a couple of games with his groin and may well miss some more in the games coming up."

He hasnt missed many so far but going forward I think he could miss a few and Moyes has said as much. The problem is that you are unlikely to get much of a warning when Moyes will take him out of the team

I'd imagine you won't see Rooney play in the cup games. Meaning he won't be in action til the Swansea league game, that will certainly leave him ready for that. He'll be needed for the Chelsea game no doubt, but then United have no league game again for another 10 days.

No doubt he is carrying a knock, but at least now he won't be carrying a knock and expected to play every 3 days. Not ideal, but he has been hitting good scores while carrying the injury.

Exactly why I'm giving him another week.

Any opinions on Kolarov? Very good attacking wise but inconsistent starter?

El festino

Morrison dropping again. I really don't want to make a transfer this early but I have nothin in the bank. Is it worth holding onto him?

Mint Sauce

Question. If I dont make a transfer this GW, play the wildcard next GW, will I still have my extra transfer the following week, or will it just be one transfer as normal.

Yea he's good going forward and seems to be first choice now but will be rotated a lot with Clichy and liable to 1 pointers from the bench. There's safer players at that price like Sagna, Koscielny, Azpil and Evans.

No. You unfortunately lose the saved transfer. FPL b@st@ds :P !

Don't know if you'll see this in time but it depends on what your team looks like. Is Morrisson going to be your 5th midfielder for the season? Do you need to save a bit of cash by getting a cheaper alternative than him? In the first case forget about his price. In the second you can choose between Jedinak, Colback, José Cañas, Delph, Parker, Meyler for the replacement. You'll find more info in the WC thread .

Happy with the starting 11 as it is, so using the transfer to sort out the bench a bit. Bringing in Mutch for El Ahmadi. Might be playing the wildcard after the FA cup games though, see how it all pans out.

I'm thinking of selling Rooney and Yaya and getting in RVP and Ramsey. But I won't be doing any transfers until next Thursday or Friday.

Just to warn you, Mutch has a potential hamstring injury and is due to have a scan.

@CardiffCityFC: Kerslake: "We need to have the medics assess Jordon Mutch tomorrow to see how long he may be out. It's his hamstring." #ARSCAR

Thanks mate, i decided to hold off and keep him and make a more infomred decision after the cup games..

Went with Santon to Baines in the end. Baines is going up by about 15% per day so he'll rise by 0.1 before the start of GW21 (and there is a small chance he'll go up by 0.2m). Coleman will rise by 0.2 and I'd only sell him 2-3 weeks later for Baines anyways.

I think I have the perfect differential to all my rivals ahead and slightly behind me. I have been saying that Coleman is boxing waaaay above his weight so far the year in terms of goals scored and that it just cannot continue. So I have to put my money where my mouth is (so to speak).

To be honest, I prefer Baines in the big games anyways.

Another convert! The anti-Coleman, pro-Baines campaign is gaining momentum!

With Walcott back Ramsey had slotted much deeper than earlier in the season and assuming Walcott remains fit this is likely to continue when he returns. Ramseys best points of the season may be earned at this stage.

Yeah and I think he'll do well but he just isn't value anymore.

I went Ozil to Lennon last week in order to have the cash to go Negredo to RVP. I'll lose ground unless I use the 4m plus I have sitting there. I want to wait as long as possible due to RVP's injury, but is there a danger of Negredo falling in value?

That's a bit risky IMO. I would be reluctant to ditch Coleman myself having brought him in for 5.0m!

Would have to assess the Baines situation because in the last two games he hasn't looked great going forward. Plus it looked like Mirallas was on free kicks, on his side at least. Maybe hes still recovering from the broken toe?

Either way I can't see the Coleman train coming to such an abrupt halt. He's returned 8+ points in 6 of his last 10 games, plays 90 mins every week, never gets booked, effectively plays as a winger and links up with Mirallas on the right who I'd rate higher than Pienaar. He looks no closer to dropping off form than any other player in the league at the moment.

I was just coming on to post exactly this! Coleman is a cracking player but I noticed he went up again last night and is now at £6.7m (I can sell for £6.4m). With Baines at £7.4 there's got to be a tipping point for everyone depending on when you bought Coleman, as Baines is without doubt the strongest defender in the game, taking most of Evertons FK's and all their penalties.

Depending on what way the next two weeks go and when I end up using my WC, I'll be bringing Baines in. Despite sitting in 27k, my main rival is still 50 points clear so need to make some clever moves to get back into it.

If I was to go ahead and do that, I'd just spend half my time thinking about all the things I could do with the 5 million I'd have in my team if I went with Lukaku or someone else good in that price range instead of him. He still might prove himself to be the same player as the last 2 seasons, but I don't think Moyes' style of football lends itself to him.

I'd probably go with Baines if I was buying one from scratch now, but I got Coleman at 5.0 so it will cost me 1.6 to trade up.

Nah, he'd have to be about 12 before I'd look at him again. Even if he put up a few weeks of Suarez numbers, he's still an awful lot of money.
