Who did you bring in?

Cahill, Baines wasn't in the equation, if I fancied Evertons run in then it would have been daft to upgrade imo (not worth a 1.5m upgrade), I don't really fancy them from now onwards and it's a differential I need and am happy taking.

I've doubled up on Chelsea at the back with Cech and Cahill, Jose is getting his house in order.

Just wondering as I'm thinking about this myself, was Ivanovic an option or do you prefer Cahill's point winning ability, I'd like Cahill for the price but I've a little bit of uncertainty that he'll lose the odd game to Luiz, not sure whether Jose will prioritise Champs league or seemingly easier EPL games.

My reasoning was that even though Cole isn't flavour of the month/year with Chelsea, his recent games have seen a decent return to form. With him floating around I think that Ivan is more likely to be rested than Cahill (Cole LB and Azpil RB can work well).

Out of the two first choice CB's, you would have to imagine that Terry will be rested ahead of Cahill.

Luiz just needs to stay the hell away from the defense, I think Jose has finally realised this.

That's my reasoning anyway.... I just don't know if I came up with it before or after I transferred Cahill in
I now think Cahill is the least likely to be rested

Everyone jumping on bony due his upcoming matches...I think who would supply him the goals..Shelvey Michu and Canas all are unavailable...Got adebayor in instead.

Made three changes this week, for a -4. (Two weeks after wildcard. Wooooooooooot.)

Cole --> Azpi.
Neg --> Aguero.
Ozil --> Johnson. (For one week only, probs. Trying to decide on a final midfielder and thought I'd take a punt. Keeping a close eye on Mr. Mata though!)

What's the latest on the Silva injury? I have Coleman and Chester both confirmed out and don't really want to play Colback. I would probably risk Silva -> Mata this week if I wasn't £0.1m short! United are out of pretty much everything so I'm hoping they will start to find form as other teams start suffering from fixture fatigue.

If Silva plays I'll probably bank my transfer. Was debating getting Bony in after watching Lukaku last week, but think I'll give him one last chance. It's a derby and we all know the big man has it in him to perform. I've had shocking luck with transfers recently dumping Yaya, Ade and Cabaye. Think the easiest thing to do is do nothing! Will give me two transfers next week to play with.

Possibly looking at Ozil, Lukaku, Coleman OUT for Mata, Bony and Baines. Bandwagons ahoy!

Also have Coleman and Chester out which would mean having to play Shaw at home to Arsenal. Either that or do Chester to Bruce but i'd really like to bank my transfer this week for a change.

Is Azpilicueta a liklier starter than Cole?

No news since FA cup game but he sat out the weekend as a precaution for a slight hamstring

Yeah I'm hoping he plays.

Been starting ahead of him recently. Also Azpilicueta was rested v Stoke in the cup game. How long it lasts remains to be seen. Im going for Azpilicueta but am first to admit it's a risk. But a calculated one I hope.

Need some advice. Team is as follows:

Boruc - Speroni

Ward - Chester (inj) - Sagna - Coleman (inj) - Nastasic (inj)

Silva (a doubt) - Eriksen - Gerrard - Oscar - Noone

Welbeck - Suarez - J Rod

Safe to say the wildcard 2 weeks ago hasn't worked out. Need to rectify a number of injuries, as well as not having Aguero, and Nastasic not playing. Also, although Gerrard has scored ok in the last 2 weeks, he's playing a defensive role, so could do with dumping him.

0.0 in the bank, and 2 free transfer. The aim is to get Aguero in, and to do that I will have to take at least a 4 point hit.

I'm thinking something along the lines of:

Coleman out, Wes Brown in
Silva out, Januzaj in
Welbeck out, Aguero in

leaving 0.5 in the bank.

Thats only papering over the cracks.
By the looks of things your team value is quite low.
Gerrard, Oscar and Eriksen seem to be lower priced "premium" players and while any of them could have a good day, you need better for the money they cost. By the looks of things, Aguero and Suarez isnt really feasible for you without revising your entire midfield.

Will Januzaj get as much gametime (or scoring opportunities) now that Mata is at Utd?

Isn't Terry one of the few players to have played every PL minute for his team this year? Could be wrong but I thought I heard that stat round Xmas and don't remember him being rested since.

1 of 13 to have played every minute. 8 of them are goalkeepers though .

Edit Here's the 13 if anyone's interested.

Ya, it was me who asked the original question, I already have Terry and I'm considering a one off punt on a Chelsea defender to replace Coleman before I play the wildcard next game week. There is absolutely no chance whatsoever that Terry will be rested while Chelsea can still win the league, zero, nil. For one thing he is playing as well as he has at any time in his career, he is solid as can be. Cahill is doing well alongside him but I just feel that there will be games for Luiz as well, he'll likely be playing centre back for Brazil this summer, I know that means zero to Mourinho but it certainly makes you think. He won't be required in midfield for Chelsea, I'd worry about Cahill playing every week.

Does it change though if he gets red flagged as a result of the news? Meaning is there a chance he won't drop?

Could this happen tonight? Have both him and Chester. Chester no way near a drop, dont want to get rid of Coleman, and with possible news of Ramsey back, would rather make changes elsewhere, ie, Ramsey.

Is Coleman out for long?

Don't want to sell Coleman and have to buy him back for 5.8 million.

Doesn't look like it. No definite word yet from what I've seen.

What are peoples thoughts on Ozil and Lukaku to Adam Johnson and Aguero (for free)?

I do have Chester, Coleman and Barkley out as well as Silva doubtful so should I sort that 1st? (Money won't allow the above transfer using Silva instead of Ozil)

Johnson has two nice fixtures coming up but look at his fixtures after that, in 4 weeks he has a blank week and City(A), Arsenal(A) and Liverpool(A), I looked at him today but wouldn't fancy that in case other transfers were pressing when that run comes up.

Team value is VERY low! 100.7m. Didn't make any transfers between GWs 4 and 16.

That's why I've had to go with Oscar instead of Hazard, Silva instead of Yaya and so on.

Without doing much research (which I should probably do!), I would have assumed Mata will be playing a central role? With Januzaj on the wing?

the incredible pudding

will wait til tomorrow to hear of any news on silva. Want to bank the transfer if possible but Chester to Bruce might have to be made just to make sure i can field a full team.

Cabeye deal tonight done with PSG per SSN....

PWEI

Breaking News on Sky Sports News just now that Newcastle have a agreed a deal with PSG to sell Yohan Cabaye.

:mad:

roryc

Cabaye-Bye

Thatsfootball

So with Cabaye going, is Cabaye - Ramsey and Ozil - Mata a good swap?

They already changed him from 75% chance of playing to 50% chance of playing today . Not sure why they haven't red flagged him though as he has been ruled out.

That might have delayed it by a night.

Lemlin

Thank you PSG. Transfer done tonight so I can benefit from Mata's price rise.

Cabaye out. Mata in. My plan was to stick with Cabaye, he was 7.2, and I have 2.3 free, so could take Mata's first rise, and then bring him in if wanted.

Now that Cabaye is gone though I'll just go with Mata.

Dietsquirt

At the 11th hour, 4 pt hit, Silva out - Mata in. And sure gave him the armband as well.
