duffman21

Anyone else thinking about Benteke... He seems to be hitting form scored in the last three league games....plus has a handy enough run

I suppose its speroni's place to lose

All of a sudden I care now whether Speroni has a good game v Arsenal :eek:

Any advice on these transfers ?

Lallana -> Mata
Rodriguez -> Dzeko
Aguero -> Sturridge

FHFC

I'm probably looking at Aguero to Benteke and Meyler to Lallana.

Both seem to have good fixture in Aguero's abscence.

Anybody see any glaring reason that won't work?

It will leave me with no City player v Chelsea, but I'll be getting Silva (or maybe Yaya with the penalties) back in next week.

A lot of love for Dzeko here over Negredo. As most people are moving from Aguero I don't think it's a price issue and Negrodo's surely the better finisher.

FFS - I was all set to go with Sturridge and then Benteke gets mentioned. I had ignored him due to his massive barren spell (not a single goal or assist since GW4) but then in GW21 he's sparked back to life. 3 goals 1 assist against the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal. Is this him returning to glory or just a run of good form in an otherwise bad season? His fixtures are slightly better than Sturridge's, and I don't really fancy having Sturridge and Suarez against Arsenal's backline. He's £0.8m cheaper but this is negligible, I need the player who will score most over the next few GW's. The red line is where I would expect Aguero to return, and both Sturridge and Benteke's fixtures toughen up a bit here. A key thing to take into account is the liklihood that either of these miss GW29 due to the FA Cup results. I'll be missing both Suarez and Sturridge if either Liverpool OR Southampton win their respective FA Cup ties, whereas Benteke would only be off if City beat Chelsea in their FA Cup tie.

It sounds like I'm convincing myself to go with Tekkers, but tbh Sturridge is still 70% fav. He has looked phenomenal lately, and doubling up on Pool attackers has not been an issue all season. They could run riot against a West Brom side that conceded 4 against Villa a few days ago. And SAS already ran riot against them earlier this year. Get the feeling I'm going to end up tossing a coin, at least then I can blame the Gods.

What I was thinking was Sturridge for this week and then swapping him with Benteke after that.........

Max_Charger

Anyone else feel getting in Dzeko this week a bit worrying? Besides the competition from Jovetic, Chelsea will be very defensive set and are extremely hard to break down recently. 5 clean sheets from the last 7 games?

Kent Brockman

Aguero & Ramsey out
Mata & Dzeko in
2.1M in the kitty

Dont be at yourself

Am thinking now of Aguero and Coleman out and RVP and Jon Flanagan in.

The pools next fixtures are WBA(a), Arsenal (h), Fulham (a), Swansea (h), Soton (a), Sunderland (h) and with Enrique out Flanagan is nailed at left back and at 4.3m too

Flanagan will start at right back, Cissokho at left back (as at Everton). GlenJo is out for a month or so, so he looks like a good option.

Aguero out for Dzeko, which gives me funds to get Ramsey out for either Ozil or Mata, and I'm torn. I'm putting it to the good folk of the forum, what do you think?

MATA!

Dzeko worries me though. I think Negredo, Dzeko, and Jovetic will all get relatively even game time in the absence of Aguero.

I'm just not convinced about United - the performance at home to Cardiff was not convincing at all.

I'm not too worried about Dzeko, I reckon he and Negredo will be the main partnership in Aguero's absence, I don't think Jovetic will make too many starts ahead of them.

To be fair, when you consider who was playing..

RVP - First game back from injury, lacking match fitness.

Rooney - First game back from injury, lacking match fitness.

Mata - Has hardly played all season, lacking match fitness.

Giggs - 40

Jones - Not a midfielder, second game back from injury.

It's not that surprising they weren't at their best..

I dunno, I'm not convinced by Everton.

I got Eriksen in recently and have been impressed with his returns. Averaging over 8 points a game for the last 4 games. And 2 of those games were against Man U and Man C. Next 5 games are Hull, Everton, Newc, Norwich and Cardiff.

Though Eriksen is 0.1 higher than Mirallas, so that might mess up your RVP plan.

I currently have Ade and there's no way in hell I'm trusting Spurs with 2 of my attacking players but if I didn't have him then it's probably where I would be looking. Well I can afford up to 7.8 but I have Lallana too. Johnson should burn out in 2 weeks time. Mirallas should be playing up front for 2 GWs anyway but I don't trust him either.

I recall Aguero getting injured last time is what brought about the bout of awful form I've just arrested. I'll think of something I'm sure.

flying11

Just done:
Aguero -> Rodriquez
Noone -> Yaya

Giving me the attatched team.
Unsure whether i should start Rodriquez instead of Silva since i think Chelsea are going to line up very defensively. Any ideas?

West Ham fan here.

No is the simple answer. Ried is a definite. Then it's between Collins and Tompkins for the other CB spot, Demmel and McCartney for the RB spot, Rat looks to have RB to himself with O'Brien's injury, but rumours of a new colombian RB joining today.

Colombian RB has joined. Think he's called Anero.

Went out for a run to gather my thoughts on this one, still couldn't decide between the two. Then loaded FPL website, arranged all strikers by value and asked the football clueless gf which out of this entire list should I go with. Totally out of the blue when picked Benteke (pronounced "Bean - tee - key"). That's swaywed it for me. Is she's picking him out of the blue, it's a sign.

Shedite27

And for what it's worth, Chelsea have gone to Old Trafford and Emirates so far this year, parked the bus, played no strikers and came away with a 0-0. Hence me avoiding Man City strikers this week.

who_ru

sickened. wildcard played.

aguero, wilshire, coleman, lovern, mutch all injuried.

That's good enough for me!

FHFC

Aguero to Benteke done.

Leaves me with 3.4m in the bank and starting Noone at home to Norwich. Somebody confirm to me that it's not worth a hit to swap him for Eriksen or Lallana. Other starting mids are Mata, Hazard and Cazorla.

Just seen on the Red Button, Aguero out for a month. So which City player is everyone bringing in, in his place? Is Negredo worth another punt

Oceans 13 over on TV3 also at 9

OR

The Bourne Supremacy on ITV2 again at 9

OR

Buried (which considering it is just Ryan Reynolds in a box for about an hour and a half is actually really worth a butchers if you haven't seen it) on ITV at 11 bells!

Shedite27

Benteke done

Danger781

Lallana and one of Benteke/Negredo/Dzeko

OR

Shelvey and RVP

Hmm..

donglen

Aguero outta - Benteke in (already have Suarez, otherwise Sturridge)

eh i dunno

Will Negredo start tomorrow?? Have to move Lukaku out and Chester

Kerrydude1981

Dont know which duo to get in for Aguero and Oscar

Giroud and Yaya in

or

RVP and Mirallas in

Hackers

Go for it. I was in same situation and went for giroud for a 1 game punt instead of Benteke to replace aguero. Ki was 4th midfielder, switched to eriksen!

Considering we're neck and neck in the same pay league should I take that as advice or sabotage??

Edit. There's actually meant to be a cup week in that league this GW, might wait for the draw in that before deciding finally.

So Agüero is out for a month.

Already made my 2 FT. So have a couple of options:

1. Do nothing. Play Colback. Or Azpi.
2. Get Sturridge. Or Bentekke. Or Giroud. Or a City forward (but who?). For a 4 pts hit.
3. Go wild. Get RVP and in the meantime sell Coleman for a £4.8m def. Who? I don't know. 8 pts hit though.
4. Do nothing planning to do 3. next week for a 4 pts hit only.

What do you guys think ?


I have to admit option 3 (or 4) is extremely tempting.

Team at present is:
Marshall (Mannone) not sure yet who I'm gonna play...
Sagna - Gabby - Olsson {Norwich} (Azpi - Coleman)
Yaya - Hazard - Mata - Lallana - Colback
Suarez - Ade (Agüero)


The "big" question is: is it worth an 8 pts hit ? Or is it worth a 4 pts hit going into this GW without one of Sturridge, Bentekke, Giroud or a City forward ?

I consideried United have no games in GW28 but are sure to play GW29 and have a double on GW31. Not sure about planning that far ahead though. An injury or suspension could destroy all this strategy...

Wondering when will new players be added to list. Hoping to sign tom ince for palace. Any idea how much he will cost?

According to 5 live earlier, any players who sign today, are not eligible to play for the new clubs tomorrow.

SpaceCowb0y

Pulled the trigger on Aguero & Coleman out for RVP & Shaw

Plan will be to transfer Aguero straight back in when fit again!

Hmmm, to follow suit or not.....

FHFC

Hit taken, Lallana aboard for a bit of back up while Aguero out....

irish son

Who would people start, Adrian Swansea Home or Mannone away to Newcastle without Cabaye and Remy? Leaning towards Adrian but its hard see Newcastle do much without the 2 boys.

Id do nothing and play azpil. A long shot but if anyone can get a cs at city its chelsea. Id only do a 4 pt hit if you plan on keeping that striker. Transfers are getting precious at this stage. I have RVP in my sights but want to see how utd look and line up this weekend before pulling the trigger.

machiavellianme

5 of my players with a red box beside their names. One yellow.
Sigh!

I guess Aguero out for Sturridge and Chester out for Fonte to field 11.
Probably bench Coleman, Gabbidon and Wilshere (along with McGregor).
Not sure its worth a points hit to ditch Wilshere too for Lallana.

Dempsey

Rat has left WHU, sinking ship....

I'm actually pretty sure I *was* the first person on here to declare buying in Benteke this week. (Could be wrong.)
:pac:

Which really just means Benteke will do nothing and both Dzeko and Studge will score a hat-trick.

Welcome RVP, may you run riot tomorrow!
