    need shot of bruce and i suspect mariappa too.

    had planned on bringing evans in but will have to see what his injury is like.
    might just take the norwich advice from this forum and switch bruce to olsson.

    if mariappa loses his place i might bring in joel ward for him as i'd still like palace defensive cover. will obviously only do one of these, (and assuming i get no injuries to more important players)

    Please don't tell me Mariappa is going to lose his place too? I badly need him for next week

    I'm not entirely sure, i just know FFS have him down for right back this week with joel ward in midfield. if joel ward switches back to right back it could be at mariappa's expense. Mariappa can obviously play centre back too but they bought scott dann friday. I know very little about palace though so someone more clued up than me might be able to answer much better.

    edit: it's not today i'd be more concerned about, it's once they have all players available.

    Cazorla and J Rod/Ade out for Negredo and Colback leaving me 2.5 in the bank to address any other issues next week, looking like Aguero may not get back into my team this season .....


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


    Have £2.6m in the bank from the Aguero sale and looking to bring in a City defender. Was originally looking at Zab but Kompany at £6.3m has caught my attention. City have a great run after Monday. 4 home games in six and all fixtures against teams in bottom half of table.

    Gameweek 25: Norwich (A)
    Gameweek 26: Sunderland (H)
    Gameweek 27: Stoke City (H)
    Gameweek 28: BLANK
    Gameweek 29: Aston Villa (H) BLANK IF CITY BEAT CHELSEA IN FA CUP FIXTURE
    Gameweek 30: Hull City (A)
    Gameweek 31: Fulham (H)

    Also want an attacking City presence for these fixtures so probably looking at Ozil out for either Yaya or Silva. The former would mean getting Zab over Kompany though as I'm £0.1m short. City haven't been too good at the back but I can see them picking up some clean sheets from these games. Just need to hope Chelsea can knock them out of the FA Cup so they play in GW29.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    Ade out for me this week. Will watch the city lineup with interest today. If Dzeco starts then will likely get him in and just live with the risk of rotation for a few weeks.


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


    So Januzaj looks like he's lost his place in the team with the arrival of Mata. He'll be my sub this week. Have 9.1 to splash out on a mid, any suggestions?

    Already have:
    Yaya Touré
    Assaidi
    Hazard
    Eriksen
    Rodriguez
    Benteke
    Suárez


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭SpaceCowb0y


    What's the story with the West Ham keeper situation?? had Jussi lost his place to Adrian now? Looks a no brainer shipping Marshall out for Adrian if that's the case! Cheaper and with far better CS potential


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,141 ✭✭✭Santi101


    Might go Bony to JRod.....Bony being one of the few mistakes in my wildcard.

    JRod has to be one of the best value players in the game and good fixtures to boot.


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


    Coleman has had his flag removed, hopefully this halts the price drop.

    are you buying him for defence reasons, compared with coleman who is 1m cheaper and on the same team, having baines doesn't make much sense to me. why did you compare him to midfielders when I am talking about defenders?

    If he thinks so much about bains and by your reasoning why get rid of him now?

    hoping the coleman goal glut is over...everton are looking more leaky now, hopefully makes coleman less important to have

    was wrong on this earlier in the season, got him back over xmas and dumped again with the WC. hate spending big on a defender.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 241 ✭✭orkkukunkku


    Adebayor to Dzeko/Benteke

    or

    Sagna/Kos to Ivanovich/Cahill


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Sooooooo.......

    Upfront. Sturridge, Suarez, Giroud.

    Or, Sturridge, Suarez, Adeboyer.

    I'm buying him to score points. I don't care if that is done from an attacking sense or defense. I compared him to midfielders because you said it was crazy to have that money locked up in a defender meaning you obviously think it's better spent in attack or midfield. Baines gives you better ppg per million spent than most midfielders or attackers.

    If you want to compare him to defenders then he currently averages the highest score bar Coleman at 5.1ppg. Coleman is currently injured so isn't a option. Baines per million spent ppg - .69. If you analyse your first eleven, I guarantee that most of them don't give you that kind of value.

    hence less than 16% of teams have him...

    He has kept 1 clean sheet all season, I buy defenders to keep clean sheets, city defenders are all cheaper and more likely to keep clean sheets - top 2 assists from defenders are both city players - one of which is nealy 2 million cheaper than him.

    Like is said previously if you have him for your reasons, then there is no reason to get rid of him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,267 ✭✭✭opr


    He has seven clean sheets this season?

    Opr


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


    Why does it matter what reason you have him for? It doesn't change what points you get from him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,267 ✭✭✭opr


    It's quite funny that you compare him to City defenders. Lets do some comparison. For comparison sake I've taken the two defenders that you know will start each game for City if fit. Kolarov would be a great option if he wasn't being rotated with Clichy

    Baines (7.4m) - 5.1ppg ~ .69ppg per million spent
    Zabaleta (6.0m) - 3.8ppg ~ .63ppg per million spent
    Kompany (6.3m) - 3.5ppg ~ .55ppg per million spent

    Both are far worse value than Baines.

    He means that Baines gets 5+ points per game which you would be happy with for a midfielder that cost 7.4m
    The reason I'm selling is that I believe that RVP and a cheaper defender will score more points over the next few weeks than Baines and Adebayor. I could be completely wrong and probably am!!

    So with Mariappa getting dropped I'm rethinking the Olsson purchase. They have City next week.
    I'll probably buy Ward and RVP this week. Next week then I'll sell Mariappa for Olsson.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,463 ✭✭✭GiftofGab


    Thinking of selling Kos for Flanagan to free up some funds. Can't see anybody else for about 5.2. That will allow me upgrade Januzaj for Lallana. So I'll have Hazard, Mata, Yaya, Lallana in midfield. Arsenal have a hard run of games coming up and I dont want to double up on arsenal defenders.


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


    I'm looking at Chester and Ozil out for Zabaleta and Yaya (4 point hit). Despite their prices changing over night I have £0.2m extra in the bank to cover this and would prefer to not have the worry going into tomorrow nights match. Would give me this team to play with - half thinking of benching Mert & Sagna!

    30rxqtf.jpg

    Very happy with my team atm. Next week will likely go Sagna to Olssen to prepare for GW28/29, then look at downgrading Marshall to Boruc.

    Is it wise to bring in 2 city players? They could miss GW28 AND 29 still (I think).


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


    Yes but look at their fixtures in the meantime! I am definitely keeping GW28+29 in mind, and hoping Chelsea get past them in the Cup so they dont miss GW29

    Have they all played the same number of games?

    Presumably you already have Coleman. Distin at 5.2 is where im going with Sagna.

    West ham defender might be good shout.

    Ozil out, Mata in.
    Will pull the trigger tomorrow night as I can take the Ozil drop


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    I really don't see the point in planning for the FA Cup Quarter Final weekend until at least past the first weekend of it, where you'll know the majority of the quarter finalists.

    The ppg stat takes into account the number of games played. It divides a players total points by the number of games they've played.

    Edit - It doesn't take into account if a player has only played part of a game. So total score is divided by the number of games a player takes any part in to get ppg. It's why Kolarov's ppg is so impressive. If you actually worked out what his ppg are based on 90minutes it would be huge!

    Opr


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,593 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    Any suggestions? Have 4.3 in the bank:

    Mannone / Marshall
    Zabaleta / Sagna / Coleman / Ward / McNaughton
    Yaya / Oscar / Mata / Lallana / Januzaj
    Suarez / Adebayor / Dzeko

    Want to move out some of the City players ahead of their blank week, and also Januzaj if he's not going to get minutes. Also want to upgrade Oscar to Mata and possibly get Sturridge in for Adebayor. Also want to upgrade Ward to Flanagan, and bench McNaughton permanently.

    So basically, I don't know where to start.


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


    really considering taking a punt on RVP. plan was to get Yaya in for Ozil but if I go with RVP I will get Lallana in for Ozil. Can get Negredo on for Giroud then next week

    RVP could be massive differential for me as nobody in my private group has him. Thoughts?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,229 ✭✭✭G1032


    Think I've made my mind up now. Baines, Adebayor out. RVP, Ward in.
    RVP captain next week.
    Following week it'll be Mariappa out and Olsson in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,970 ✭✭✭mufcboy1999


    Last seasons main man rvp in for augero and giroud out for dzeko. I was flirting with a rooney/negredo combo instead but i reckon with rooney playing so deep rvp will be on the end of most of the chances.

    I've actually ended up with 3 united players in my team going into the next gw, januzai/mata/rvp usually not a bad thing but the way we are playing who knows but really we have no excuses for not giving fulham a good hiding next week so rvp gets the armband too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    My plan was to shift Cazorla for Silva this week but he's in rather good form right now and Liverpool aren't exactly solid at the back and then after United who aren't exactly solid either I may just hold onto him. I'm not in a rush anyway.

    Therefore my City coverage may come from Dzeko. I'll need to keep my eye on Evans' injury though but I could even potentially bank my transfer this week but Dzeko for Ade could be the way to go as I'll need a City attacker in my team before the blank GWs but may limit it to one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,116 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Want to avoid playing Sagna at Anfield so think it's time to get a Chelsea defender in to replace Chester. Is Azpi nailed on to start league games with Cole getting a run out in the cups? I could afford Ivanovic but not sure he's worth the extra .7m


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 270 ✭✭sanket


    It seems a minimum of -4 hit for every GW is inevitable right now with so many injuries and now Blank GWs taking shape.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    Chambers injury may alter my plans. Will monitor.

    What are peoples opinions on van Persie? Sold aguero for dzeko, and have over 6million burning a hole in my pocket.

    Thinking of ade to vp and making him captain v Fulham which I think could justify a hit,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 400 ✭✭Harvey Low Fat Milk


    My transfer will be Ozil out for Silva. February is looking insanely tough for Arsenal.

    You mean your transfer was Ozil to Silva seeing that he is in your team in the Rate my team thread that you posted in advance of that post?

    Should have waited till after the game tonight.

    Speak for yourself, i haven't needed a -4 for about 10 GW now :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 538 ✭✭✭Hackers


    Any word on Evans injury yet?

    I am in a spot of bother as I have Bruce & McNaughton who now are both dropped. Other 2 defenders are Flanagan (V Arsenal next) and Bennett (V City next).

    Giroud needs to go as well to be replaced by a City attacker.

    I think my FT has to go on getting Giroud out and after that I will have to see if taking a points hit to sort out the defensive mess as outlined above is worth it. It probably is as I will get 0 if i do nothing and will end up only -2 (-4+2) worse off assuming i can pick a defender that will actually play!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,916 ✭✭✭Flecktarn


    Johnson > Mata
    Adebayor > Sturridge

    What are people's opinions on this? Is it a gamble to double up with Suarez and Sturridge?

    Im also considering bringing him in and making him capt. There are a couple of issues though utd havent looked like giving anybody a hiding all year and due to them playing arsenal 3 days later I can see him being taken off early. Im definetly getting in one of mata/rvp this week just cant decide which one.
    On mata who took corners/ fkicks for utd against stoke with both him and rooney on the pitch?
