Yaya to Mata, with a possible Lukaku to Adebayor transfer too.

I think a lot on here myself included only thought he would only start one of the games. It was always going to be a huge ask for him to start 2 games in 3 days.

Re the bibs the article stated they were doing set pieces when the injury occured far more likely to be the starting team when you are doing a drill like that.

Hundreds bought in Mata despite having no game. There are plenty of idiots playing this game and plenty, even on this forum, were thinking for while he'd start off the back of pellegrini's comments

Henderson for Mata. Will now need to keep a close eye on Yaya as well.

Most of us were hoping/expecting 30 minutes against Liverpool and 60 against Sunderland.

That's my hope anyway. If he had only had one game, I wouldn't have brought him in.

Yaya, Sturridge, Hazard and Bacuna all banjaxed for me. Also need to offload my Everton players. What a horrible week

Can either do Johnson to Eriksen, or Gerrard to Mata.

I'm reluctant to get rid of Gerrard. He just keeps getting points. Would like to get Mata for the DGW, but don't really want to do it at the expense of Gerrard. Still my WC, so might try and work Mata in using that.

One thing I'm finding given this is my first season run in is just how brilliant a wildcard would be around now.

Think I'll definitely be trying to keep mine next season if I do this crazy game again.

Yep, with all the injuries to the big players right now, it would be a perfect time to have a wildcard. I usually keep one for the run in but a disastrous early start forced me to rethink that approach.

HighClass · 14-04-2014 3:51pm

Yaya - Silva. Hazard - Mata. Sturridge - Aguero. Dzeko - ?

Have 7.1 to bring in another striker but no idea yet who it'll be.

Yeah I think I'm going to hold off using it this week. Then take an almighty punt on Man United for the last 3 weeks. Thinking of trying to get RVP and Mata in. Obviously I'll be keeping 3 city players. But United have 3 of their last 4 at home. So having 3 united players for those 4 games could work. Or be a disaster. But I'm playing for precisely nothing at this stage, so might as well have some fun.

Yeah I only have mine as I didn't play at all from GWs 5 to 15. By the time I got back to playing, it was almost Christmas so I held on until the Jan WC.

Is Pellegrini doing another red herring with the Toure injury I wonder....

I do not think so. I was going to captain his this week, but figured he would not play twice as he was carrying a knock going into yesterdays game. I think if he does play further games this season he will be heavily medicated and is a small knock away from a definite time on the sidelines.

zarquon · 14-04-2014 4:16pm

Looking at Yaya to Mata and either Hazard to Eriksen or Sturridge to Aguero depending on injury news.

roryc · 14-04-2014 5:11pm

I think I'll hold off on the Mata transfer until next week, ahead of their double.

Looking at Yaya + Sturridge OUT, Aguero and Lallana/Eriksen in. So undecided between those two, will throw up a poll to see what the forum thinks.

mirallas out, eriksen in i'd say

It appears I made this transfer in a drunken stupor on Saturday Night. Not that its a bad transfer or anything, but i would have done yaya to Eriksen instead had I not done this and rolled the dice on Miralles for another week.

Gonna have to take a points hit now

Santi101 · 14-04-2014 8:37pm

Yaya to Eriksen makes sense right?

Frees up funds to improve a few areas going forward.

Done it myself last night!

I kept him all season and through double blank GW's, I feel bad for selling him.

On the plus side, realized I could get Aguero in for Sturridge! :eek:

extra gravy · 14-04-2014 9:36pm

Should I double up on Chelsea defence or go with Sagna instead which will leave me enough funds for an Aguero-RVP-Suarez frontline for GW37 if needed?

Trying to decide same thing re my defence. Cahill rising tonight doesn't help.

We (Arsenal) have kept one CS in 12 matches so I would go with double Chelsea; I also wouldn't trust RvP to play full matches/two in four days ahead of the World Cup.

roryc · 14-04-2014 10:33pm

No matter what transfers I look at I will still have cash left over due to Eriksen being so cheap. I've toyed with having Suarez, RVP and Aguero up top and still have cash left over! Based on that I see absolutely no reason to make transfers until Fri night/Sat morning.

Iused2likebusts · 14-04-2014 10:43pm

I may look at sterling particularly if sturridge is out as he will more than likely play further forward. He is in great form the last couple of months and I currently only have suarez from a team that has scored 93 goals to date. Despite his unbelievable consistency over most of the last 2 seasons I cant bring myself to sign gerrard due to his total reliance on set pieces.

KevIRL · 14-04-2014 10:46pm

Total reliance? His 11 assists alone would beg to differ?

How many of those were indirect free kicks or corners?

a lot of those assists are from corners and free kicks. Im not disputing he is a great option I just cant seem to sign him despite his consistency.

roryc · 14-04-2014 11:12pm

This is my team for next week (on the off chance a wildcard gets accidentally credited to my account)

Giving up on Skrtel the turtle? I might bring him in before Chelsea; he likes scoring against the big teams at home and could easily see Mourinho play super defensive (although they need to win).
