    Well.... you're going to love this :)

    I'm seriously thinking about a Costa -> Mario switch.
    I can see why Jose would throw Costa in for the Everton game (with the 2 week international break coming up and plenty of time to nurse him if it went wrong) but I just can't see why he'd take a risk on him this weekend ahead of a big midweek CL game.

    That, and I've a feeling Mario is going to go a good kinda nuts on his home debut.

    So, I'm predicting a Costa no show unless he's needed to be brought on for the final 20-25mins.

    I'm going to say he'll more than likely be rested mid week in the CL

    Balotelli sounds risky to me. Too unpredictable in his head... But if he could get it right yeah he could be FF star.
    If Costa's declared fit (but I guess we'll not know until we get the team sheet :rolleyes:...) I rate your second option much higher than the first. Just what does Ramsey become in your second option? Bench until we know more about how serious his injury is?

    Well looks like ramsey is fit so just a -4 now. I have no liverpool players and I really like their next 6 thats why Im thinking of going with mario. The obvious choice for liverpool coverage is sterling but that transfer doesnt suit the way my current front 7 is.
    Ramsey fab siggy silva
    sturridge ade rvp

    Im also more inclined in the long run to go with fab and hazard over fab and costa.

    VERY similar to what I'm looking at settling on. Personally I don't like going so cheap on GK - I've gone for Colo in defence instead but he'll be rotated. Having to rely on Newcastle every week in goal doesn't do it for me. Maybe go Krul/Clyne to Forster/Coloccini?

    Ya i think your right about the goalkeeping situation. Is Colo a guaranteed starter? If he is i think i would go with that change

    Yeah Collocini should start every game and he's a demon for bonus points.

    Same. Chelsea have an easy group that shouldn't pose too much trouble and Man City A is next Sunday.

    Quick decision needed

    Jovetic & Debauchy out

    Balotelli & Duff (Burnley) in
    or
    Pelle & Moreno in

    ???

    Looking like Costa, Zaha and Evans in for Jovetic, Ramsey and Jones. Unless anyone can think of a better combination for 22.7 million? I kinda wanna go with Tadic instead of Zaha.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 378 ✭✭John83


    Trying to decide between Coloccini and van Aanholt.

    Who wins?

    But theres a 2 million difference in price. I'm obviously going for Costa so any move to Tadic would mean I'd need to downgrade Jones to a 4.5 defender. Obviously Wilson is screaming out but I do somewhat fancy Leicester to score this weekend.

    i'm not liking the run of fixtures for either ramsey or silva. currently have silva, not ramsey. any other suggestions?

    Have played the wildcard and gone with this team. Would appreciate any suggestions.
    Krul Elliot
    Clyne Hutton Terry Taylor Wilson
    Fabregas King Ramsey Sterling Siggy
    Welbeck Costa Aguero

    Would it be worth downgrading Terry to Azpil and using the cash to further improve the back or gk position?

    Not a Man U fan I take it. Similar enough teams we have, if your never going to play king - might as well bring in boyd - save you .1m.

    I get why you hve 2 keepers from same club (I had 2 as well) but how good are Newcastle at keeping clean sheets realistically?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 215 ✭✭hupskip


    Want to get rid of Debuchy, who would be the best option instead?

    I want to have some attacking United cover but i Just dont trust them at the minute. Can do Aguero > Falcao and Ramsey > Mata if things change though. I might get Boyd actually just to cover myself in case. Probably not very high, is there any better GK options for 8.5 million though?

    Is Rooney to Balotelli worth a 4 point hit?

    It depends on the rest of your team and what position rooney ends up playing at the weekend.
    If I was you I would leave rooney for one more week and try to get Balotelli by dropping one of your other strikers.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,561 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Am I the only one stupid enough to have gambled on di maria settling quickly?
    I think he is going to be an assist machine no matter who plays up front.

    I've taken him in too. Looked brilliant against Burnley, I can see him being a brilliant fantasy player.

    It'd be as an additional transfer, so the rest of my team shouldn't matter, it's a straight cloud between Rooney + 4 points vs Balotelli.

    I've had him in since the last GW, he could have had 3 or 4 assists in the first game if Mata & Rooney didn't waste the chances. Hopefully himself and Falcao link up a few times this weekend!

    Damn they're dropping like flies... Have a hit already and wondering if I should swap out Jones for Moreno...

    5.5 for a defender.. Moreno or Jevans?

    Any Falcao punts?

    Adebayor (-4) or Balotelli (-8)?

    :)

    At the moment I've done my FT on Rooney -> Falcao

    Now with Jovetic out he needs to be replaced. Have 9.1 to spend.

    The two options I've wittled it down to are..
    Jovetic -> Adebayor

    Jovetic -> Balotelli
    Dier -> ~4.5 Defender (Or Duff @ 4.0)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 415 ✭✭TaytoCrisps


    I transfered out costa last week. Transfered him back in this week so chances are he wont play . wasting so many transfers on 1 player ! unless his legs drops off he is staying in my team


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,380 ✭✭✭Guffy


    Is it worth taking a four point hit this week bringing in Tadic? I'll be dropping bentaleb who is only on bench anyway and switching to a 3-5-2

    Could be a good long term buy . he could easily cover his transfer this week. Worth taking hits to get your team right at this time of the season .

    I'd just go with Adebayor.
