And looking at our defence last night, he'll score a couple

Costa will be a threat given his power but I think they will do better against Costa than Aguero. Aguero will eat them alive completely.

extra gravy

Thinking about ADM and Taylor to Baines and Tadic now...

I didnt see the game last night but ADM playing in a front 3 would interest me much more than where he was playing in that diamond formation. The points he was getting from that position weren't sustainable IMO. I still think Ill take him out for the next few GWS but if he is to play where he played last night I can see myself getting him back in unless Rooney can get a place up top which would interest me at 10.2.

I think the change in formation was more of a case that Falcao wasn't deemed fully fit, I doubt they'll play with 1 forward too often with Rooney, RVP and Falcao knocking about the wage bill.

Was only half watching the game last night (while putting kids to bed as the missus was out) but ADM didn't seem notably more advanced position wise, Mata playing off RVP in a seemed more the situation but am open to correction.

I'd change your keeper and hang onto Sterling this week against Hull.

Maybe... I just think that Liverpool are playing so poorly and have Madrid midweek that Hull will probably get a result against them.
Also worried about Sterling's playing time.

Been having a look at what my next move will be. I had planned to get Azpi in but I don't think that's warranted given his sending off and ban for the next two games, Chelsea's current fixtures and lack of clean sheets. It would also take the entire 2 million that I have spare.

Looking at my squad, I'm happy enough to stick with the template midfield (Sterling, Di Maria, Siggy & Fabregas) with plans to move Walcott in when he's fully fit. Marney is my placeholder and I'm not going to spend a transfer getting rid of him. If the opportunity arises, he'll be out for Boyd. I'm also happy with my three strikers (Costa, Aguero and Pelle).

That leaves defence:

Taylor, PVA, Moore, Duff and Wisdom.

It's definitely in need of some cash. To get Baines, I'd have to drop one of my midfielders or strikers which I'm not happy to do at present. Therefore I think a good defence can still be obtained on a fairly decent budget. I can go PVA to Kaboul for an initial outlay of .5 million and then Duff to Chambers for a second outlay of 0.5 million. That'll leave me with the following fixtures until January 10th and 1 million in the bank:

Wisdom Taylor Chambers Kaboul Moore
Crystal Palace (H) Leicester (H) Sunderland (A) Newcastle (H) Swansea (A)
Leicester (A) Everton (A) Burnley (H) Aston Villa (A) West Brom (H)
Newcastle (H) Arsenal (H) Swansea (A) Stoke (H) Southampton (A)
Chelsea (A) Man City (A) Man Utd (H) Hull (A) Sunderland (H)
Arsenal (H) Crystal Palace (H) West Brom (A) Everton (H) QPR (A)
West Ham (H) QPR (H) Southampton (H) Chelsea (A) Liverpool (H)
Hull (A) West Ham (A) Stoke (A) Crystal Palace (H) Aston Villa (A)
Aston Villa (H) Spurs (H) Newcastle (H) Swansea (A) Man City (H)
QPR (A) Hull (A) Liverpool (A) Burnley (H) West Ham (A)
Man City (H) Aston Villa (H) QPR (H) Leicester (A) Spurs (H)
Stoke (A) Liverpool (A) West Ham (A) Man Utd (H) Hull (A)
West Ham (A) QPR (A) Southampton (A) Chelsea (H) Liverpool (A)
Hull (H) West Ham (H) Stoke (H) Crystal Palace (A) Aston Villa (H)


Chambers and Kaboul rotate perfectly as they play for Arsenal/Spurs. Moore also rotates with Wisdom and Taylor. If the chance arises in two GWs and he is still playing, I think I'd go for Alcaraz in place of Moore but I want to see if he holds his place with Distin lurking.

I certainly think there's plenty of value available in defence with the five players above costing a total of 22 million.

Opinions on below please Team for GW 9 below, 70 pts last week without Costa or Aguero so don't want to thnker to much doing well

Forster


Taylor Clyne Ivanovic (subs Konchesky/Duff)
Siggy McGeidy Di María Cesc Larsson
Pellè (C) Welbeck Costa

So have a few ideas Larsson to Chadli ? He's solid but hasn't been scoring heavy?
Welbeck to Bony/Lukaku/Berahino . Arsenal have a nice run but I just don't trust them. Lukaku is hit and miss also.Berahino cant stop scoring but surly West Broms run will go belly up?
Larsson out anyway is what im thinking?

I think Sterling is undroppable for Liverpool at the moment. Rodgers made the mistake of leaving him out against Villa and they lost. He was involved in all three goals alst weekend and was ths standout player on the pitch. He's their main attacking threat and until the likes of lallana, coutinho and balotelli step up I cant see him being rested.

Larsson chadli seems like a safe bet

Welbeck - I guess you'd have to weigh up would walcott coming back into the team help or hinder his goal tally. I'd be inclined to believe the service from walcott would help it and I wouldn't be in any great rush to sell. Though the extra funds from buying berahino could maybe get you Walcott instead of chadli!

Is swapping out Wellbeck for Berhanio madness? Want to get Walcott-Baines/Coleman and BertrandClyne? And this seems to the only way I canaffird them.
Any help appreciated!

No its not madness, Berahino is a good player and has 3 good fixtures coming up. The only thing is Welbeck also has good fixtures and plays for a better team so will probably get more chances.

Am now thinking benching Larsson for a few GW and bringing in Augero for Costa? Taughts ?

Augero next 4 - West Ham(A) United (H) QPR (A) Swansea (H)
Costa United (A) QPR (H) Pool (A) West Brom (H)

Both capable of big scores there

Went a bit mad and did my transfers just now. A change of .1m would have ruined my plan so I've gone and bit the bullet, rather than carefully and painfully watching the rises all week, only to get it wrong because the price change sites seem to be off the ball this year.

:pac:

Fortune favours the brave, right? Though sometimes there's probably a pretty fine line between brave and stupid.

This is the crux of the decision I'm making. Could get Baines and rejig my midfield with Tadic and/or Eriksen and it could be magic, or it could entirely fck up my team.

My though process is changing daily as I get used to being in the top 100k rather than outside 400K....

As ever your approach is common sense personified. Perhaps we need to add the verb lemlinise to the prodstonsim entry in the FSA glossary of terms.

But overall would I be better points wise with Berahino Baines and Clyne and Walcott than Welbeck Azpicuelita Cisshoko Matic? Decisions decisions!

Well I'm not ruling out Baines entirely and I still like the look of Eriksen. That said, I'm in a position where I don't want to drop any of the four midfielders and my defence badly needs work. I'm certainly not changing any of the strikers either.

I had planned to bank my transfer this week but Kaboul fits my plans perfectly. Next week I'll reassess after bringing him in (will wait until after the Europa League games) but Chambers looks like a decent bet to join him as Arsenal's fixtures change from tough to better. I only ever plan two fixtures ahead. There are two many variables to plan any further.

Kaboul's fixtures are too good to pass up on. In his next eight fixtures, he only plays two of the top six - Chelsea and Everton.

Went really safe, essentially. Needed to sort my defense out, so that took the bulk of it.

Ulloa --> Pelle
Wilson --> Wisdom (needed the funds)
Ivan --> Jagielka.

Obviously, I wanted Baines but I couldn't drop any of my midfielders. Sterling is constantly solid, as if Fabregas. ADM is very, very impressive. If I'd sold him for Eriksen, I likely couldn't have afforded to get him back in and I think he's an absolute essential. I do feel that sooner or later Siggy and Sterling will be dropped, but not yet.

So the above done for a -4. Pretty tame. At 20k atm. Hoping to get past the 15k mark next week.

I'm surprised at the amount of people getting rid of sterling, in the games he played more than 80 minutes he scored 13, 7, 10, 2, 5 and 7. That's a pretty decent return and besides Chelsea (A) Liverpool have some good fixtures coming up. Once Sturridge returns I'd hope that Liverpool's goal tally will start to rack up and you can bet that Sterling will be involved there. I'd be wary of dumping him now. *Prepares for Sterling straight red at the weekend*

It hasn't worked out too well for people chasing Naismith (myself included) and Ulloa's points so I'm avoiding the below 6.0m striker bracket.

Hmm, I could actually play it a bit safer and just get Baines for Clyne and Eriksen for Sterling, leaving the Tadic bandwagon to roll on.

Safer for two reasons in that as well as not having to shift ADM, buying back Sterling would only cost me 0.2 if it was necessary. Sterling may well drop 0.1 by next week also.

That comes down to whether Baines/Eriksen will outscore Sterling/Clyne over the next 4 weeks....

Edit: compared to my original plan its acutally about Sterling,Tadic v ADM,Siggy.....hmmm

CSF

I will bank my transfer this week unless Di Maria is out this weekend or Costa is out both this and next weekend. Here's hoping for some solid team news to aid my decision.

Eldoco

i presume costa and adm are just carrying lil niggles ?

currently i can bang on afford dyer to tadic but not sure i can hold off much longer if hes price goes up again

km79

My head is wrecked thinking about it a this stage and it's only Tuesday !
Here are the options I was thinking about but all now depend on costa being fit!
I have only one free transfer and 0.9 in bank
1. PVA to Kabul no hit (but no aguero)
2 Courtois to Forster and Falcao to Aguero -4 and will have to move Forster on again in few weeks and no Chelsea defender for QPR game on
3. Just do falcao to PELLE for free
And work aguero in next few weeks but he may be out of reach by then
4 sterling to eriksen /chadli and falcao to aguero -4 reluctant to sell sterling tho
And then there is the problem if both ADM and costa are out.........
I really really like what I've seen of falcao too and after these 2 games united have 3in 4 good gAmes at home !

This is something similar to what Ive been considering. I can have baines and 4 mill cheapie or kaboul and azpil. As enticing as baines is I think I prefer the kaboul azpil combo. Within 3 weeks it would give me a back 5 of chambers, kaboul, azpil, hutton, moore.
Kaboul and chambers are serious value I feel.

Definitely Berahino Baines and Clyne and Walcott. Obviously wait for Walcott to start playing first though. Matic should not be in anyones team and not a fan of Cisshoko either.

That definitely looks like a good back five. Would you not go for Wisdom though? He looks serious good value for me because he has a couple of assists and West Brom haven't been bad at the back.

Fair point but his future points are not related to his price or any other stikers past performance. I just think he's good value over the next few weeks and the best striker under 6.0m.

Can anybody tell me if Chambers or Welbeck is likely to rise tonight?

I need to transfer both in but want to wait till after the champions league.

Neither are near an increase according to TotalFPL.
