Probably Bony out, Jovetic most likely.

internet_user · 28-12-2014 10:02pm

Not convinced by Jovetic, I'd rather wait to see him actually do something of note before taking the plunge on him

Chambers to someone, not sure who, my instinct is to buy in a cheapie.

Further to this....I have 3 defenders I am happy to play next GW and just realised my only active GK (pantilimon) is away to Man City next with a few bad gaes to follow, Might bump Elliot up to Green instead.

Id a look at the next few weeks fixtures and looking at my squad. I reckon for the first time ever I wont be playing the wildcard at first available opportunity. Eriksen to sterling as planned and then Yaya to fab the week after.

Yea same here, I'm even making the same transfer as you this week. I'd forgotten about the wild card until you mentioned it, I'd prefer if we didn't have it this year as I can see me making changes just for the sake of it.

I've Panti and Elliot too but think I'll just play Panti and hope he can rack up some save points.

I always wait as late as possible. I usually find my team is set up how I want it after Xmas as you get so many transfers in a short space of time.

This season, Aguero is due back in late January so holding it also suits.

I would do that too but after City he is home to Liverpool than away to Spurs....anybody got an update on when Elliot might be back?

It was reported that both him and Krul are expected back mid January.

Correction Elliott towards end of January

Yeah, be interested to see if he looked in any way sharp coming on today. Anybody see the full game?

Banking it is also an option.

It says the 17th on the site but Krul could be back by then too. Just looking at what would be the best partner for Panti rotation wise...either Green or Guzan I guess.

Lemlin · 28-12-2014 10:47pm

Will probably end up doing Yaya to Silva a week earlier than expected.

I'm hoping Bony scores tomorrow to give me a reason to keep him. I still don't know who I'd replace him with.

Mr.Prodston · 28-12-2014 10:48pm

Might have an issue with Clark already and discontent with RVP continues and Bentrkers could have been a mistake but I may bank again and have 2 while many use their WC. Not doing anything until New Years Eve anyway though

Re Clarke:

@BenDinnery: Lambert confirms Ciaran Clark was subbed due to a back injury while Jores Okore was on the bench because he wanted to protect his DEF #AVFC

Clyne is also going to miss the Arsenal game:

@BenDinnery: Koeman confirms "[Clyne] got a kick on his ankle. He's out for around 10 days. I don't think he'll be available for Arsenal game" #SaintsFC

Silva could end up getting rested next gameweek.

evancmurphy00 · 28-12-2014 10:57pm

So currently have this team:

Fabianski
Skrtel Terry Bertrand
Eriksen Downing Hazard Fabregas Chadli
Austin (C) Kane

Szczesney Clyne Sakho Ward

Thinking of getting rid of Szczesney and replacing him with Pantilimon. Then thinking of getting rid of Clyne and replacing him with John O' Shea and bringing in Rooney for Sakho. Would then play Rooney instead of Chadli probably or maybe Downing. Could also replace Eriksen if I were to get a player that cost more than Rooney. Thoughts on this?

I can understand trying to bring Rooney in because of his price relative to RVP and Uniteds form but he really is playing deeper.
If you are comfortable paying 10.7 for a forward who is essentially playing attacking midfield then why not! Cant help thinking Di Maria at soon-to-be 9.4 might be better value for money when fit.

I watched he didn't do much had 1 good shot.

Could always get rid of Eriksen to afford Van Persie, Falcao or Costa. This would probably be better I would say?

If I was you, I would work towards getting Aguero with your wildcard in Jan.
Chadli could go, and certainly too much spent in defence and gk. 2 reasonably premium gk is overkill, for exampe u can have courtois for marginally more than either of your current gk. or gk like Panti is decent value for money.
2 Southampton def is overkill now that their exceptional cleansheet spell is well gone. Ward as 5th choice def also too expensive.
Just my 2 cents! (5k rank to prove not totally brainless :P)

Thats very useful, Ill probabaly hold on and Upgrade Elliot to Krul in a few weeks. I have had a Sunderland + a Newcastle GK all Year and it has served me well.

What is with the love of Man U players, today's match alone - how many chances did they have - they were fairly anonymous in the second half, united strikers are not worth the money atm.

Costa is hot and cold - more cold these days, Chelsea are also a team that don't go for big wins, so it's probably better to get 5 top midfielders and 2 good strikers - plenty of which are not costing a bomb.

Little harsh maybe as they had plenty of chances in first 60mins before running out of steam. Certainly RVP had chances he puts away more often than not.
I think alot are trying to find a way into the United team as they are 3rd, european football free, and in good form.
Rooney is way too deep, RVP too expensive as u say, and Falcao yet to go on a run and faded badly towards the end of Spurs game.
Di Maria is soon to be 9.4 and if he regains fitness could be the best value way in to their attacking potential. But his fitness is a doubt currently.
But they do have some nice fixtures!

Dr. Bre · 29-12-2014 12:06am

just did my transfer there - Silva, hazard in toure santi out

Western Pomise · 29-12-2014 12:10am

My defenders are Azpilicueta,Zabaleta,Dummett,Clyne and O' Shea,
Earlier today was thinking of swopping Azpil for another good def eg Terry as he's been rotated too much ...but now with Clyne injured I'm thinking of getting rid of him as they have tricky games coming up and I have money in bank ...and I don't intend on using WC too quickly.
So who would you upgrade Clyne to ...Terry ,Cahill,or Another City def...maybe Kompany (shouldn't he be back definitely for New Yrs game??)...

Really appreciate anyone's views...I'm doing well last few weeks and want to keep it going:)

Ps My thinking on Chelsea is Terry might be rested with Cahill playing more games??
And Kompany should tighten up City defence again.

I'm in trouble with my defence...

Am I mad to be considering Skertel?

I've Hutton, Clichy, Clyne, Moore and Chambers.

Clyne out, Clichy subject to rotation, Chambers dropped, Moore not starting.

So I'm looking at Clichy (hoping he gets the nod), Hutton and Skertel.

I went mad last week and got Skertel in. His fixtures look ok between now and when I plan to WC.
But it is a big gamble as liverpool are poor in defence.

I'd say the big teams will be resting their star players during the FA Cup - too close in the league to be resting them for league matches.

I think Ings is worth looking at. Burnley have some great fixtures coming up - new QPR CPL sun WBA.

Then why did ManC bother dropping Toure 2 games before he leaves the squad for international duty? I believe they want him in good nick because another important player is getting rotated the next game
