That changes Everything .........hull at home could easily see drogba start now

Mourinho said Costa wasn't fit so I am presuming he means match fitness. He'll probably give him 70 minutes & he will ready for the weekend. Delighted with my Fab ---> Hazard transfer now

Drogba will probably get game time over xmas, and is fairly cheap - could nearly be the third striker, and go for someone else other than costa as first/second choice now that Aguero is injured

Mr.Prodston

The last few seasons have called and they want their inform players back :eek:

Goals for RVP, Yaya, Ramsey, Gerrard, Drogba, Carroll and Cisse in the last few days to name but a few.

Lampard looks a decent bet so.

I don't think he was ever an in-form player for any extended period though.

shown a lot of glimpses though, think was last season, he score 4/5 goals over a short period of time, then either got injured or dropped. Surprised he hans't left Arsenal, there is a lot of attacking options - whose going to be dropped for when Walcott comes back?

I'm probably at the best rank I've ever been at this stage, 23k. But the leader of one of my private leagues is 100 points ahead so I went to check his ranking...

52!!!

In the world!!!

With 928 points!!!

I went through last season City PL games and here are their respective figures (goals + assists).

| Agüero | Silva | Yaya | | Agüero + Silva | Agüero + Yaya | Silva + Yaya
Agüero | 0+1/2 | 1+1/2 | 7+1/10 | | | | 9+7/11
Silva | 0/2 | 1+1/4 | 3+7/18 | | | 3+4/11 |
Yaya | 4+4/10 | 8+1/18 | 5+1/10 | | 3+3/11 | |

So. When the 3 played together, Yaya and Silva offered similar returns. Agüero benefitting from this association.

When Agüero is out, which is the current situation, the Yaya-Silva association benefits significantly to Yaya (43 pts vs 36 to which you have to add BPs which will increase this difference).

One thing to note though is Yaya was rarely subbed after the hour mark compared to both Agüero & Silva and these 15 to 30 extra minutes allowed him to increase again his returns over Silva.

Now is this difference worth £2.0m? Up to yours :pac:...

League leader in my cash league has taken a -16 :O ( 5 transfers - 1 FT)

That would change things alright I wonder if they would go with the late deadline on the Friday so we'd know the line ups like often happens midweek now.

If Ronaldo or Messi joined Chelsea, Man City or Man United, what value do you guys think they would be?

14 million is the max they put a player's price at I think so yeah 14m.

Do you think there would be a different price if they joined WestHam, Southampton or Arsenal? Just asking because the probability of this happening anytime soon is pretty much the same:D

Spanish fantasy league must be really boring btw - you only pick 5 players who are your differentials.

Paully D

I think a Hull defender (I know, I know) might be decent value over Christmas.

Chester has played 90 minutes the last 3 weeks, is available at £4.4m and Hull have the following from now until the end of January: SWA, sun, LEI, EVE, wba, whu, NEW.

I'm just thinking out loud but with Debuchy now back for Arsenal, it may be a good idea to cash out the profit on Chambers and free up some extra money with the above's decent fixtures.

Does anyone know if Chester is just covering for injury the last few weeks, or has Davies been dropped?

Dempsey

I think I'll be getting rid of Chambers by the end of the night. Chester seems like a good option...

Hopefully there will be no surprises today and I can make a straightforward transfer

I doubt its a set in stone rule just they have never felt a player justified it.

Pretty sure the chances of Ronaldo joining United are a little better than West Ham! Would be good to see him at the Hammers though!

Yes That's something I pointed out when doing my GK analysis. Hull Christmas fixtures are very decent. Thing is at the time it was hard to pick a GK for them. Chester brings back some nice FF memories too :cool:.

Pellegrini says he thinks it's "impossible" for Kompany or Dzeko to play again this calender year.

FHFC

City in tatters with Dzeko and Kompany out till New Year, and Jovetic for maybe a 'couple of weeks'.

How do yous think City will line up now!!?

Today raised even more questions about their attacking line up when we were expecting to get answers....

How was Pozo today? Is he really a viable man to lead the line for a couple of games? I wonder might Silva get a run up front / false 9 and Lampard also more gametime!

manual_man

Would be very surprised to see Silva play as false 9, but then again options are so limited it can't be discounted. Silva dropped deep a lot today, that's what's putting me off him. Nasri was further forward and notched an assist to back up the goal and assist he got midweek. Very tempted to go with him. Yaya also got forward a fair bit and with pens in his locker is definitely an option. Throw Lampard in to the mix and things become less clear. Very difficult to decide which way to go, as I still do feel a City attacker is essential over the coming gameweeks. And re. defenders, Mangala/DeMichelis suddenly become very attractive if Kompany is confirmed out til Jan, as they're virtually guaranteed starts. Mangala notched the 3 bonus today to boot

Anyone having problems logging onto FFFix.com? Says my details arent correct but I can log on to the FPL site ok

Mangala is on 4 yellows unfortunately.
Demichelis looks like he is set to play the next 3-4 games without the others rotation risk.

extra gravy

I'm starting to think with Kompany out, Pellegrini would want to play Zabaleta in every game now as he is his most experienced defender and would give the back 4 some stability. Or is this wishful thinking on my part?
