I could even go back to Siggy for Chadli to play it a little safer :pac:
You are brave enough to do it. Are you crazy enough?
Cisse
Didn't see that coming:D
The cheap defence worked for few weeks but you do need clean sheets at some point. I know you are just having a bit of fun but i can't see that team doing well.If you do it i will support you, though.0 -

Cisse is a little bit like Turner to me and he seems to have hit the ground running. We know what he can do with a bit of form. For 5.9 it's not totally crazy. Trusting Newcastle I'll readily admit is a little alright :pac:
The defence is a little cheap. However Clyne and Rose would play most weeks for pretty good teams and capable of keeping clean sheets whilst rotating the other 3 for best fit. The Burnley keepers would be the biggest worry there I'll admit.
That midfield is badass though, am I right?
Along with Costa and Aguero up front. It's not template, it is a little bit of fun and a little testing the waters with normal people :pac: I don't see why it shouldn't do well though?
Sanchez is a gamble but the kind of one that might be worth it while Walcott/Ramsey get back on their feet. He should see a lot more consistent gametime too and be a bit more settled. Hazard could be set to take off, at the very least I'd expect him to keep par with Fab. No matter whether I play it safe and template or I follow my crazy nose I like to have firepower in my team and don't mind skimping on defenders.
But yeah I'm mainly plugging myself in for a check up on the crazy scale 0 -

The way i see it is that you can spend your money just a little bit wiser.
Hazard is a good shout but Sanchez at 10.3 isn't worth it (yet).
Your midfield might be badass but it is at the expence of the defenders.
I liked cheap and cheerful until i was awarded 1-2 points for each of them.
I am too lazy to tell you what that team would have scored last week(s), but i am pretty sure it wasn't great.
The midfield / forwards combo might work depending on your formation.0 -

it's hardly the craziest team your likely to see (up your game, Mr P
)
Di Maria Hazard Aguero and Costa cant be argued with. Chadli continues to defy expectations. Cisse is bang on form (us 'veterans' from a few seasons back can remember the damage an in-form Cisse can do). Sanchez has underperformed relative to price tag so far - but his class is undoubted and he's guaranteed game time with a lovely run of fixtures...
Defense is a bit of a motley crew. CS have been hard 2come by. If you could re-jig to fit in, say, Azpi, i'd be fairly confident in that aspect too.
The thing about the front 7 - Costa aside, there doesnt seem to be any 'must-haves', as of yet anyway. Just a good number of players vying for our attention (and budgets). To sum up, Mr P, it could work out!0 -

I understand the excitement such a team could provide BUT (although it is to me much earlier to go down that route anyway) this is the team of someone who's chasing I think. You are not chasing. You're at the top. You're leading. If I were you I'd wait for the "chasers" to take risks and inevitably make mistakes at some point.
For what I remember of your team, I think you can afford 2 of DeGea->Fabianski or Forster (but think you already have Southampton def) / Nolan->Chadli / VP->Aguero without rushing it. In fairness you may only just do the Aguero one since the others don't offer you better fixtures than the ones you already have (well that's of course if Nolan is not restricted to 20min cameos).0 -
Well it's quite ironical that I was the last to post in here and was trying to talk wise.
Now I'm considering going a tad misterprodstonly wild :pac:.
Ulloa -> Pellè
Sterling -> Chadli
Ivanovic -> Baines
And there is Diego Costa. If he was out for sure for the QPR home game I'd take my chances and ditch him. Since next is United away and after Liverpool away and then international break.
But of course we don't know how long he's out for. And I don't have great subs for him next week if he doesn't play the next game.
So King -> Boyd is tempting but think it'd be a waste. I can only regret being hesitant about Boyd during my WC. Should have trusted the people saying he'd be a regular at Burnley.
Here's my team
--- edit ---Ulloa -> Pellèdone.
Sterling -> Chadli
Couldn't wait too much since I only have £0.4m left in bank after doing it and would have lost £0.2m on my first transfer tonight. Actually maybe the full £0.4m if Sterling and Chadli move. Crazy early transfers due (partly only I must be honest :pac: but still partly is a huge negative change IMO) to the new price change blackout.0 -
Well I think those proposed transfers make a hell of a lot of sense. Not sure that helps coming from me though :pac:
Sterling is a danger though. I don't have him and live in constant fear. But we can't have everyone. I'd go for that though as it seems well thought through and should work well in the short to medium term. Nothing too crazy about it at all 0 -

:pac: on the bold part.
More seriously I'm close to go for it right now. I also have the "luxury" of doing the first 2 for no hits. Can always wait for Ivan -> Baines. Would not be a disaster to lose £0.1m on him since I don't think I'll be keeping him for the whole season despite the great stats posted by G1032.
But making transfers before CL games doesn't sound like a great idea...
And yes Sterling could destroy Hull...
Another option (to allow for Pellè in) would be to ditch Ivan and pick a max £5.2m def (e.g. Kaboul or Rose from Spurs). What you think?
--- edit ---
As I explained in my previous edited postUlloa -> Pellè
Sterlng -> Chadli
done.
Second big decision of the season. First one was GW4 WC which was a disaster for 2 weeks but did set my team up nicely enough for the following 3.0 -

0.2 in the kitty. Doing so-so the last few weeks after a good start. Opinions welcome!
Baines AND Ivanovic sounds like a huge investment for your backline. Downgrading Ivanovic (to a Swansea - long term - or Spurs or Arsenal - short term - defender whom all have good fixtures coming) would help you get the hot and popular Pellè or upgrade your midfield with a Chelsea mid (Fab or Hazard) for example.
Other than that it is a strong team which I guess is well performing. No major surgery needed.Tony_Montana wrote: »I have decided to wildcard even though I'm doing alright (top 15k) but I have started to drift off lately.
reason for wildcarding was I wanted to bring in aguero sanchez baines and forster.
To fit these all in I've had to give up a few strong players but here's how I'm looking at the moment.
Any advice would be appreciated
forster
baines chambers kaboul
dimaria sanchez eriksen tadic
aguero pelle welbeck
subs hamer dummett hutton obertan
Well your team should definitely perform in the short term, considering the fixtures and the form your players are in.
You have no Chelsea cover though. Do you have enough in bank to get some without major rearrangement? e.g. can you get Costa back (I assume you had him) if he's fine after his 2 weeks rest?0 -
