    Has to be a City player with their game next week and your current lineup. Boring transfers to Negredo or Yaya would be obvious but Dzeko if Kun isn't back cout be a decent punt. They'll be scary at the Ethiad next week

    Never thought of Dzeko actually. I refuse to sign yaya, he's too annoying.

    He'd be a great differential captain if you knew he'd play. Yaya is a beast though.

    Speaking of captains you rarely see anyone captain Yaya for some reason despite his great form. Its like we're all convinced that he cant keep this form going

    The leader of my pay league dabbles in a bit of YaYa captainage....

    I am banking a transfer.

    Not seeing all the Augerio love.

    He will be eased back gently. Until he is banging them in regular I am not even considering him

    I agree he may well be eased back in but allowing him to train for over a week before putting him back in is just that.

    I keep stressing it but he's missed three weeks. December 14th to January 6th. This isn't a long term injury. It seems it because he missed the congested GWs.

    As for banging them in regularly, I expect him to do that as soon as he's playing as per the norm for him.

    How many does he have to bang in before you buy him?

    You have to think ahead in this game, that's why Lemlin is in 3000th place..

    Lemlin is in whatever place because he refused to swallow his pride (along with others) and refused to bring in Ramsey when he was a cheap midfielder in the team on top of the league scoring,

    same as ya ya

    People harp on about "casuals" and their luck but it's pretty obvious is a player is scoring points regularly you bring him in. Same as Augerio who is scoring a regular tally of ZERO. Its the same as people holding Van persie after his injury out of false hope. When he is back and IF he is performing and getting minutes I will look at him. Until then no reckless gambles.

    Okay - i am confused with another poster so, I agree about thinking ahead but very few players have come back and played well, even theo as the recent example and van persie and rooney, injuries tend to reappear and stay niggling.

    I will not be considering him until he is healthy. I wouldn't go by places as overwhelming common sense. My highest global finish is 389th overall in 08/09 and 2853rd overall in 07/08 but I was a student then and not working and had nothing else to do but FF so this places pissing contest should not even be addressed.

    As somebody who never had Yaya and brought Ramsey in for 3 weeks in December I can tell you why I held off on them.

    It's as clear as day that they accumulated points like a magpie does sliver. Which naturally attracts ownership, no argument there. In my mind a "casual" player looks at points scored and little else for 5 minutes on a Friday, and theres nothing wring with that. However people like myself who put a bit more research into things eg stats, position on pitch, value see how points have been scored can come to the conclusion that such returns are an anomaly and won't continue.

    I like others didn't/don't believe returns from certain players would continue and in other seasons they did not. So in hindsight I foolishly backed my own thoughts on players who were better equipped to score when the purple patch dried up. Sadly this hasn't quite happened. Yaya has scored 2 penalties after Aguero was subbed and 4? Freekicks which is an unexpected return.

    Anyway some may consider ignoring the highest scorers and complaining when they continue to score as foolish, being a sore loser and arrogant but I try and make the best move with the information I have, most of the time anyway :pac: It has backfired spectacularly at times this year but so be it! Ramsey was in good form but I still thought others would out score him and that misjudgement is on me.

    Im in the top 7,000 and never had Ramsey or Yaya in my team. Just the way my team was set-up both were not great options for me. I had Girouid & Ozil socring for me as well as Aguero for City coverage

    Thinking of bringing in Januzaj for Barkley.

    Don't like Everton's fixtures, and judging by the Utd/Swa game yesterday, Januzaj seems to be central to everything they do, including set pieces.

    Any thoughts on Barkley V Januzaj (or anyone else I should consider)?

    Have Januzaj because he's a cheap way into the United attack, and no more of a rotation risk than anybody else nowadays.

    I reckon Assaidi at Stoke represents very good value though, if you're looking for someone a little cheaper than Barkley/Januzaj.

    SAS at home to villa next week interesting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,697 ✭✭✭Danger781


    I think I'd like Sturridge / Suarez / Aguero up front

    Unfortunately can't afford that without decimating my midfield / defence.. Hmm..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 661 ✭✭✭masti123


    Thinking about Giroud out Sturridge in which means doubling up on Liverpool forwards
    and then the week after Sturridge out and Aguero in, any thoughts?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,268 ✭✭✭IsMiseMyself


    I'd say Suarez is fairly glad to have Sturridge back.

    Which begs the question...Neg to Studge next week? (Neg could have a blinder next week too though.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,928 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    So does one get Negrado instead of Aguero, saving alot of money that way.... been thinking about it all day.

    Aguero will outscore Negredo in the long run I reckon. Aguero has the capacity to get double figures on multiple weeks. There's a lot less of the City "everyone scores" thing when he plays.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Inspector Coptoor


    If Dzeko is fit for next game I'll swap him for Rodriguez as he has only scored 2 points in the last 3 games.

    Have you looked into this? Could be interesting as a City forward looks essential now.

    Ah right. Their NTO/NTI is just reset to zero when the flag is removed then?

    What about the orange flag?

    Also something I tried to "monitor" last year but didn't get to viable conclusions (it was working for some players, not for some others). Do you know if the target NTI/NTO get doubled for the second rise/fall in a GW and then trebled for the third or not anymore? It doesn't seem to be as simple as it used to be and as this FISO page explains.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    Reckon I'll bank my transfer, although I'm definitely keeping an eye in Aguero and Ramsey.

    I'm assuming Yaya will start and he was just taken off as a precaution?

    Orange flags work the same as yellow flags afaik .

    No they don't do that doubling/trebling anymore either .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,675 ✭✭✭HighClass


    Thinking of getting SAS going again, worked great for me in the early part of the season. Not sure to give Ade or Welbeck the boot though!

    Just my humble advice, Giroud is at home to Fulham next week, which is pretty much the dream fixture based on current form, and with Walcott and Bendtner out, Giroud will almost certainly start and be involved in much of Arsenals attacking threat. I wouldn't transfer him out if I were in your position, in fact I'm considering transferring him in.

    Having said that, I agree Sturridge also looks like a good option


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,232 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Whether I make a transfer or not depends entirely on the Yaya injury, even if he is out for just one week, I'd be tempted to stick with him

    Ah yeah I suspected it. thanks for confirming it though! Not sure if any good though but that's the rules.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,231 ✭✭✭BNMC


    I presume McGeady will be added this week? It'll be interesting to see what his price will be. I'm guessing 7.5.

    Yeah, Giroud might be my best option for a 1 game punt, won't be having him long term though. Esp as I'm ignoring Ozil for reasons unclear to even me, and already have two arsenal Defs.

    Sas definitely looking an option when fixtures suit, but they have Everton and Arsenal in their next two homes, so might dabble in it after that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    Don't think I'll be making any transfers this week, all going well.

    Any updates on Ramsey and Aguero? Will they be fit to play on Saturday 18th?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,480 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Aguero could feature Wed night actually, cup replay. Could make a 15/20 minute cameo I reckon.

    Barkley seems to have done a metatarsal too - 6 weeks out. Should be confirmed tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,787 ✭✭✭larchielads


    would negredo be worth sticking with when aguero comes back took rooney out for him. will negredo see the ball at all cos aguero will be the focal point once again. will i be better off puttin rooney back in when fit?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,131 ✭✭✭NabyLadistheman


    need to get rid of Nasri before he drops not exactly sure who to get in. What's the craic with Rooney? Whens he due back?

    Rooney & Nasri out

    Silva & Giroud in

    Going with this with wildcard in mind in a few weeks


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


    Just realised that Marshall is the same price as fit again Boruc despite being muuuuuuuuuuuch better with all their defenders back fit.

    Also realised he rotates fantastically with Speroni, who is my sub keeper atm rotating with Marshall.

    Then looked at Southamptons fixtures.

    BOOM. Instant transfer.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 303 ✭✭MattHelders


    Toure out for Gerrard if he's injured. Gerrard has a game against Villa and then Everton. Does well in big games usually

    Aguero for Lukaku also if Sergio's back which it looks like he will be


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


    wanted rid of morrison for a long time now and despite the frustration of not knowing when he'd start before i've opted to get januzaj back in, i think a bit has changed since i last had him in, he's the one shining light for united at the moment and i think as united try to ensure a champions league spot there will be a lot less chopping and changing in the second half of the season.

    if it is a case that he's getting sub appearances i'll eventually just throw someone like jedinak/parker in as my 5th mid that gives me 2 points in the odd case i need them to play.

    I wasn't sure if i should activate my wildcard or not, i needed funds to get januzaj and also wanted to get another striker in for rooney but would have preferred to leave that decison until later in the week or at least until after giroud has played. with giroud having some favourable fixtures coming up i put him in for rooney, if it's a case that giroud gets injured tonight then i'll just activate my wildcard of which i might still activate anyway if aguero makes a sub appearance in the fa cup replay. (i took a hit for giroud but would get it back if i wildcard)

    Hadn't time to reply to this yesterday but you've a number of inaccuracies there.

    I had Ramsey for a considerable period. I only dumped him when he got injured. The only regular point scorer I have ignored to my detriment IMO was Yaya and that was because I incorrectly expected his points to eventually dry up. It was nothing to do with stubbornness though.

    In regard to Aguero. I haven't been "holding" him. I transferred him out for Rooney the day the 4 to 6 week injury was confirmed.

    The fact though is Aguero is popping up at exactly the right time for me as I've explained. I wouldn't take a four point hit for him as I've said to others but I need a Rooney replacement and Aguero is part of my long term plans.

    He's only missed three weeks so my hope is he'll get 20 to 30 minutes in the Cup and then be ready for 60 minutes at the weekend. Even if he just got 20 or 30 minutes against Cardiff though, I fancy him to outscore alot of strikers. City then have 11 days and two Cup games for him to feature in to get back to full fitness.

    You then went on:
    Okay - i am confused with another poster so, I agree about thinking ahead but very few players have come back and played well, even theo as the recent example and van persie and rooney, injuries tend to reappear and stay niggling.

    In regard to Rooney and Walcott, I had both pre their injuries and they returned some decent scores.

    As for the pissing contest, I didn't bring my score or position into it. My own opinion is that you're only as good as your last season (I finished 8k last year) and this year's score or position isn't worth diddly squat until the curtain rolls on GW38.

    Gerrard was playing in front of the back 4 yesterday even lucas was further forward than him at times. I personally wouldnt go near him however typical FF logic doesnt seem to apply this season.

    yeah and I a read a quote from him where he said he was told he'd be playing that role a lot more now. he is still on penalties of course but won't be raking in the type of points he would have in previous season's.

    he also wont be getting to take too many free kicks with suarez around either.

    Not a good news.

    The previous "price changes" system was so much better IMO...
    Now it's all favouring the knee-jerk reactions...

    Would be nice if Marshall went up to 4.8 - would allow me to do straight swap.
