What way should I go about picking two midfielders for 13.5m? Picking the strongest one possible, then fitting in a whatever I can? Or split it fairly equally? I could get anyone from 9m down, then Boyd or Ameobi to be an emergency sub. Or I could go for two from the Downing, Mirallas, Chadli, Mane, Oxlade-Chamberlain types and rotate as necessary. Thoughts?

Depends on formation and starting 11-
Eg: 433 343 etc: id prob prefer a downing/ chadli combo on first glance. But in saying that sanchez + Fab/Hazard are close to must haves imo

ItsChecoTime

Think I'll be getting Cresswell in for Moore, decent run of fixtures for West Ham coming up. Austin in for Pelle also

rosskind

Went for the big four of Aguero, Costa, Fabregas and Sanchez who, along with Siggy, are certs. My front 7 will be completed by two of Kane and (at the minute) Downing and either Mane or Oxlade. I didn't really consider Chadli as I already have Kane. I'm thinking Kane and Oxlade would rotate but that's more of a defensive thing, I'm not sure that alone is a valid reason for picking attackers. Mane has a tough run of games. Mirallas is only back from injury and played twice in a week but has the nicest midweek fixture, which I need cause Kane's away to Chelsea. Decisions, decisions...

Cypher_sounds

About to bring Terry in for Bertrand. Had thought about banking my 2nd ft but seeing as Soton are up against City can't see them keeping a cleanie and Chelsea could well get a cs at Suderland.

done deal:

Pellè -» Austin
Wilson -» Terry

Smartguy

Hamer to Elliott or
Krul to green

Should I get rid of my non playing sub?

i did the very uninsprining transfer of mannone to krul earlier in the week before they both had price changes.
i was tempted to get rid of baines as i now have been left with 2 cheap mids when i brought costa back last week but even if baines doesn't play today he has 2 vey nice home fixtures in his next 3 games so hopefully he plays them.
might ditch pelle in the next gw, pity he didn't hold out for his price drop last night.

You haven't been posting much this year. How's it going for ya.

no i haven't got into it as much this year and it's showing, i'm 287,000 overall. I'm going to try post a bit more because it definetly helps to bounce ideas off people on here, for example, i sold fabregas last week to fund getting costa back in (at a hit), if i had have thought about it a bit more i would have held onto cesc, i've ended up with 2 cheap mids now and can't see a way of getting cesc back unless it's for di maria after united play stoke.
There's a lot of points to be gained in the next 6 weeks so going to really focus and pay more attention.

how is your team doing?

70k which im happy with as I was 850k after GW7. The costa phantom injury cost me big time. I don't have costa or adm today which is a concern.

SantryRed

4 point hit.

Bertrand and Pellé out. N. Taylor and Bony in.

Off the Southampton bus and onto the Swansea one I go :pac:

ah well that's a drastic improvement over a short time, fair paly. I have a gut feeling ADM could score big today which is why I was so tempted to put him as captain but I've gone with costa instead.

You might get away with at least 1 of the 2 having a quiet day, I'll be reviewing ADM after the midweek game v stoke, he might have to make way for cesc or hazard.

At the moment my midfield/attack is

Sanchez - ADM - Siggy - Brady - Boyd

Aguero - Costa - Pelle.

defence isn't great although I do have Bertrand and baines. If baines is fit I'd like to keep him for the next 3 gameweeks at least but him and pelle might have to make way to improve the 4th midfield spot, I'm not comfortable with 2 bargain basement midfielders, I might look at bringing in a cheaper striker like kane for pelle and a cheaper defender for baines if I decide to hang onto ADM. (see even this is probably the most thought I've put into my team in the last month, I need to start posting again more )

SpaceCowb0y

Pelle -> Austin
Duff -> Azpil

Dempsey

Done Pelle to Austin earlier in the week and done Mannone to Green last night

I have fab hazard and terry to offset the lack of no costa. ADM is the one Im more worried about. I got rooney in for the palace game and then sold him ahead of the arsenal game as he played CM against Palace. Id like to still have rooney today now as there must be a good chance of him starting up front.
For yourself Pelle to austin and a cheapie to chadli. Or pelle to kane and a cheapie to oscar or fab with a downgrade of bertrand or baines.

Dempsey

Should I bench Chambers?

I currently have Duff, Bertrand & Dummett starting

Can u do pelle to Austin ings or Kane wellbeck to costa and Clyne to Collins for a minus 4.

Thks, went for something similar. Just couldn't quite fit it your way with the money. Appreciate the help. 😀

Kerrydude1981

Pelle out Bony in for a hit?

Or give Pelle a chance against City?

iroced

Lads, would you rather keep Baines or Clyne (I mean mid-term e.g. to the Jan WC at least) ?

Baines has 3 tasty home games (Hull, QPR, Stoke) but he'll play (presumably) top sides away and his away record to top sides is dire this year.

Clyne has a very tough home run coming (City, United, Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal) and out his away one is not much better (Arsenal, Burnley, CP, United).

Seems like I've answered my own question. But I've a lot more money tied in Clyne which means if he goes he'll have to drop significantly to be brought back in if needed... And he's still rising, despite the tough run ahead.

I'd go for Bony. If it doesn't pay off this week, it could well do over the next 3 or 4.

I had Rooney myself up until his suspension, I was tempted to bring him back in for united's decent run but as you said, it's hard to know where he'll play, another poor showing from RVP today could see him benched for the stoke game but even then Falcao is back in the mix and Wilson is getting a bit of gametime too.

cheers, i'll be keeping a close eye on those players over the weekend (and possibly tues/weds to gain the second FT)

Can't you go for Hazard instead of Fabregas since the latter is on 4 YC ?

Unfortunately no, I would then need a 5.5 forward and none of them are inspiriing.

Is an extra 4 pts hit for a Chelsea def madness?
I'm already on -8 and current defence is Naylor - Yun - Wisdom
So basically that's Chelsea def -4 vs Wisdom (home to Arsenal)...

Depends who you transfer out and how much long term thinking comes into it. I'd chance Wisdom as he could grab an assist or something potentially. Advice probably coming a bit too late though :pac:

For Baines.

Ah... I won't make it. Not ready (yet) for -12...:pac:


---

My idea was the following. If Fabregas gets his 5th YC this afternoon I'll have to get Hazard for him. Have 0 in bank at the moment so will have to downgrade Baines (probably for a Chesea def for a -4). Also Hazard is bound to rise again. I'm afraid of being price out if I wait too long... And if Baines is fit for the midweek game, ditching him (even for a Chesea def who'll have a decent CS chance) ahead of a home game vs Hull sounds madness... So idea was anticipating...
But I've been burnt this season for anticipating too much. So hopefully Wisdom can grab something (or Baines play and have a blinder in White Hart Lane since he's on my starting XI - left him there to allow the last min panic Chelsea def in to play and not be on my bench - this shameful situation happened to me last year during the huge DGW and I learnt my lesson).
