I started with him because he was a great captain option for gw1 and could've seriously damaged those without. Also due to doubts over aguero sanchez and Costa there was nowhere else to put ur money.

Yeh true he's a safe back up to have in case the more fragile players get an injury!

So do I ditch Walcott?

What's changed from this time last week when Walcott was the best decision I'd ever made.

Think I'm going to bank the transfer.

No more risky this week than last imo. I really hope that wasn't the best decision you have ever made!

Walcott was a risk last week and he's still a risk now. No point spending 9m on a midfielder who will share game time with Giroud. or Chamberlain. Someone in that bracket needs to be a guaranteed starter

He didn't start, primarily. They didn't play well without him though, so he's an obvious candidate to be brought into the starting line-up if Wenger is changing it up.

O'Shea is in the same boat. I'm starting both of them, but preparing to pull the plug on either / both if it comes down to it. Banking this week's transfer is a no brainer.

Should I start Butland (vs Tottenham away) or Schmeichel (vs West Ham away) for GW2?

Check the odds for a clean sheet and let them decide.

Wonder will many forget the deadline tomorrow?

Many I'd say! I definitely haven't reminded anyone in my work league.

Not butland imo

I would imagine so. Don't think its going to be a case of forgetting it I would think the majority won't ever have been aware of it to begin with!

Mane, Marehz, Hazard, Theo, Cabaye
Kane, Rooney, Sakho

Need to bench one, who would you bench?

Could also just ease the headache and get in a 4.5 mid for Theo which will start the Kun fund.

would bench Cabaye. he generally played quite deep vs Norwich, scored his goal when the game was wide open with Norwich seeking an equaliser

Pete Moss · 13-08-2015 10:08pm

Lads do you think McCarthy is a nailed on starter for Palace? I have Henessey as back-up and Courtois. I'm thinking taking the risk on McCarthy may be better than fielding 10 players.

sheroman01 · 13-08-2015 11:52pm

1. Pelle + Payet

or

2. Sakho + Tadic?

sheroman01 · 14-08-2015 12:10am

Yeah after taking 10 mins to think about it, 1 is much better

Only thing is, to keep these guys AND bring in Aguero (GW4 more than likely), I'll need to have two 4.5 mids. Bit crazy but might go for it.

TWO 4.5 mids when there isn't even one of them to consider in Fantasy. Don't do it to yourself. Trust me.

Anya and Westwood. Be grand :P. Ah no, might have to downgrade Depay to a 7m mid which might be wiser. I said earlier in the thread that I'm not panicking. I'm panicking.

Fair enough

One as a non playing 5th mid, but two where you'll play one every week out isn't ideal imo. Yeah I think you'd be better off downgrading Depay. A couple of 7 - 7.5s looking good, Payet Ayew and Wijnaldum in particular while in LVGs words, Depay is only learning the central role and he can't play wide due to Youngs form.

Bet you wish you were in my shoes now :P

Not guaranteed since he made an error for Norwich's goal. It's also very short termish if Speroni is back in a couple GWs. I would either play Henny and hope or switch Courtois

Shane732 · 14-08-2015 8:36am

Walcott is doing my head in. Do I take the 0.1 drop which is likely to happen tonight to give him another chance this weekend or move him on today....

He's gone for me, but I'm not sure who will replace him yet. Thinking a 4.5 mid at the moment and ill play Mahrez.

I'll see how the day goes - I'm thinking Payet but he's looking like a bit of a bandwagon.

jamesbere · 14-08-2015 8:47am

I put ayew in for walcott last night, couldnt take the chance that he would drop. This now frees up funds for aguero in the future.

Very hard to call at the moment with so many excellent mid price options.

Ayew, Cabaye, Payet, Mane, Eriksen

Southampton, Spurs have nice fixtures and Swans Hammers not much worse.

Interesting discussion on the second captain's podcast, about the quality of player that the mid-table teams are now able to attract. Certainly made me think a bit. They were talking about the likes of Cabaye, who turned down Roma for Crystal Palace. I think of players (well, certainly me anyway!) would have a tendency to go for a player at ARS/CHE/MANU/MANC/LIV over a player from mid table team (assuming the same price). Certainly, I went for Hendo, and I'm not sure how that decision is looking now, but I'll certainly be looking at someone like Cabaye or Payet depending on how the next couple of weeks go.

Could also add Wijnaldum to that list.

Definitely. The only thing that would keep me away from Gini for the moment is waiting to see how Siem de Jong and him play together. Siem was supposed to be the natural no. 10 but it's a coin toss right now.
