I feel duped out of my lol now! I'll simply have to close my account from embarrassment and re reg in a few months when all this has died down.

I dont intend to make any transfers but if there are any 4.0 defenders playing then I may well free up a bit of cash to move my bench fodder to cheaper bench fodder.

You say that now, but wait till the first bandwagon of the season raises its ugly head!

Going to roll that bad boy over.

Nothing yet, but give it until all the matches are played and we'll see!

Lemlin

Mahrez.

Antibac

PVA out

dahat

Bank it assuming no injuries though Mahrez is tempting but who to sell.

neasyerac

Might get in vardy, For 6.0 he is a bargain who always looks like scoring.

spock.

Banking it.

Cantona's Collars

Vardy or Mahrez look like real options,frees up some funds for later transfers too.

Mahrez looks ideal for a future Aguero transfer, question is when to move?

I'd have to sell Sterling,Mane or Payet.

kilburn

Similar situation Mane staying will depend on j rod

I picked a squad for three weeks and by f*** I'll stick to it, no matter how useless they are!

That's the spirit!!

Trying hard not to knee-jerk, but as I said in the GW thread, I'm worried about having Rooney and Memphis given how insipid United's attacking was. Tempted to do Memphis to Cabaye, but their respective fixtures suggest I should have some patience.

If Aguero starts I will be taking a points hit.

Next game is chelsea though...think im gonna bank it this week then bring him in with 2 FTs for GW3

Roonbox

I am regretting choosing the cheaper Fab over Hazard already. Its tough watching him play when you don't have him.

Aguero can score against anyone though.

Chelsea with a second choice keeper, the same chelsea that conceded two against swansea, if Aguero is fit, then he should be bought imo.

If Aguero is fit he is a potential captain choice too. There is something just not right with Chelsea at the moment.

iamanengine

Possibly Van Aanholt -> Williams

Ace2007

Need a keeper after Courtois' red card,

options are to get someone in for Hennessy.
Swap Courtois for Romero thus saving 0.5
Do nothing and play with no keeper next week -

Will wait to see if Aguero gets game time and take it from there.

If you've identified Courtois as the the goalkeeper you want to have, are you really going to let a one game ban change that? If I were you I'd switch Hennessy to McCarthy and play him next week. Getting in Romero is a bad idea while the transfer window is still open, as anything could happen with the United goalkeeper situation.

Well actually last night, i had planned on transferring out Courtois and Hennessy and going with Romero and Johnstone, but Johnstone wasn't added to the game so i couldn't go with that option - and was busy all morning.

Palace play Arsenal next week - so not overly keen on the idea of transferring in a a keeper for just that one game, hence the thought of going without a keeper.

But I'll wait to see what happens this weekend.

Bleating Lamb

I'm thinking of doing the same Ace 2007.
The back 3 will have to be ever vigilant next week with no feckin keeper behind them:)

My keepers are Courtois and Schwarzer...and have zero in bank(have Aguero.

Way I see it its unlikely that any keeper will actually give you a net gain on pts for the week,Courtois a season keeper for me.

Is the site showing 0 transfers in/out for everyone ? no way 3million people are waiting to make transfers ! Richie out for a palace player but ill need to wait a week to free up money

Still the same for me . showing last seasons points totals too. that section is usually up to date . Annoying !

thunderdog

I want to get mahrez in. I already have vardy and Morgan from Leicester but I completely forgot that I had also had schwarzer as my 4.0 keeper.

Speaking of keepers, like many I got stung with the courtois red.

So I took a 4 point hit already and did schwarzer to gomez, and ritchie to mahrez. I'm already on that slippery slope after only half a gw

Wasn't it a straight red

Didn't watch the game, but he is banned until 23/08 according to fpl site.

A straight red doesn't mean a 3 match ban. It depends what it's for. It's only 3 games if it's violent conduct.

A 'last man' red card is a 1 game ban unless it is also considered violent.

smokingman

Ritchie out for Mahrez. Ritchie fluffed a lot of shots/passes and I might get some price rises going with Mahrez by the tone of motd.

Mr. Guappa

Hope to bank this week's transfer but we'll see what the rest of this GW brings first. Have Mahrez so I'm ahead of the masses there. Hopefully my remaining players all start and avoid giving me a reason to transfer them out and hopefully no one not in my team(Aguero) goes nuts necessitating a move on my part.

Happy enough to give Ritchie another week (on the bench this time), and although my 4.5m quadruplets at the back look ropey enough I'll give them another GW to prove themselves.

shineon23

need to get Courtois out as I bet on the wrong palace 4.0 GK - probably dropping to a 4.5 GK for a few weeks (Ruddy I'm thinking short term)

depending on how monday goes; may have to take treble hit to get Aguero in.

Would have to drop Silva
and probably Rooney-but can always see him scoring big against Villa & Newcastle.

Anyone that watched the united game- Depay, Mata or even Young, who looked the most involved? have 8.5 for a MF that way. or could abandon united for a week.

Could possibly drop Benteke/Silva and
get Aguero and one of Mahrez(before possible price rises), Ibe (if he plays tomorrow ) or Young with a 6.5 budget.

Any suggestions if I'm to get Aguero in.?

24 Hours From Tulsa

Banking it, and will use a -4 in GW3 to allow me 3 transfers

Plan is Walcott/Lukaku/Benteke out for Cazorla/Aguero/Mahrez

Lemlin

What site are people using for price predictions this year?

Hope u have extra money put aside as mahrez and aguero will both prob rise at keast .2 or .3 by then

Iused2likebusts

If i have No injuries I'll bank it. Would've been nice to have stuck with mahrez over Ritchie but no point in kneejerking now.

Benimar

Planning on keeping my FT barring a serious injury today.

I'm a bit worried having Targett, Mings and Coates that I could end up with only 2 defenders but will hold off until closer to the deadline as I only have the cash for a 4.5 defender anyway and none jump out at me.

Dice75

Defence a bit of a nightmare....

Distin (bench) - annoying
Paredes (bench) - annoying as started almost every game last season
Bassong (ok)
Morgan (ok)
Jones - hauled off & now worried he'll be dropped for Matthews


My only planned transfer was Naismith (one week disaster punt) to Sahko.

Not so sure now but dont want to take a -4

Micah Richards - 8 point start?

km79

banking it barring injuries to mane or Walcott (or him not starting maybe) in which case I may consider Cabaye for his 2 home games

It's a long season. Ritchie could still outscore Mahrez. When ulloa is back, mahrez is off penalties whereas Ritchie is on set pieces for Bournemouth.

Don't fancy Villa defensively at all. Have Man U on Friday night, and Villa always fold like a pack of cards to them. Haven't beaten Man U at home since 1995!
