Regarding Costa vs Pellè, I'd just quote myself from a previous postI'm having the same conundrum. I held off on Pelle last night. Will swallow the 0.1 I missed but, to be honest, he seems to be the in-form striker at the minute.
I wouldn't have even considered Costa had he not been mentioned here. I can see myself going Pelle in tomorrow and Mane in next week. I haven't checked yet but with the extra cash I may even have enough to upgrade Wanyama to Mane.
Could play my AOA then for a week before transferring someone back to a cheapie again.
On second thoughts, I realised that with the international break, I'm not sure these 2 weeks really allowed Mourinho to reboost his squad. Checked again Costa's stats. And Pellè's ones. And went for the obvious choice. Now watch Costa score a hat-trick :pac: :rolleyes:...So. was all set on Pellè but it is very stupid but my reverse jinxing childish idiotic stuff has me considering Costa. Well it is also Villa at home and they have to bounce back and Mourinho had 2 weeks to remotivate his squad.
Basically Pellè has form, fixtures & offer great squad flexibility until Sergio's return while Costa only has fixtures.
Did Ranieri clearly explain why he benched Mahrez? I read people mentioning his rotation policy but from what I've seen in Monaco I don't remember that was really the case.How big a risk would getting rid of Mahrez be??
I don't think he'll be dropped again this weekend but may be subbed on or off more going forward. Vardy is a good route into Leicesters attack and for me the key point is that Mahrez takes up a valuable mid slot where there are so many players i want.....walcott, kdb, mane, sanchez, payet and probably Hazard.
While up front there are far less options.
I'm still tempted to drop Mahrez for a midfield of the three big hitters Sanchez, Hazard and KDB plus Mane.
About your conundrum FHFC, I'll tell you again that the only one I'd be "happy" enough to ditch Mahrez for is KDB. I fully acknowledge though that it is a very difficult call. Actually an impossible call.
Thing is, let's say you do it and Mahrez keeps up his great record. You can always buy him back and have a unique flexibility regarding him compared to most players who got him in very early. Now, I fully understand it is very early to consider that but just saying that could be a factor. Worse that can happen is Mahrez starting at the week-end. Away to Saints while KDB is home to Bournemouth. I know we can't predict the future but the odds are certainly not Mahrez' way
.
To solve this current headache, who did you say you can get for Agüero if you go Westwood -> KDB? Pellè?
I think it is equally a -8 than the ditching Mahrez option, doesn't it? I know you'd then have a selection headache but let's say you want to keep your AOA you can either bench Mahrez/Mané depending on the last news regarding internationals and even if it costs you pts on your bench, you still have all cards in your hands and have a better view on the Mahrez situation. 0 -

The safest option is stopping at -4 and waiting for next week to make for free your -8 move. If Chelsea fails again your extra 4 pts hit will haunt you. Sanchez away to Watford and who played with a minor groin annoyance last night may wait for another week to join your team.A Brad Maddox Guy wrote: »Mata Sterling Payet Ayew Mahrez
Aguero Martial Deeney
Aguero to Pelle done last night, Sterling to De Bruyne likely to be done tonight for -4. Now for a -8 do I:
1. Ayew to Sanchez
2. Ayew to Hazard
3. Martial to Costa
4. Mahrez to Walcott
5. Keep Sterling, Mahrez to Walcott & Martial to Costa
As soon as Aguero got injured my plan was Pelle, KDB & Sanchez but the thought of no Chelsea at home to Villa is worrying despite their awful form.
Even if Ayew is rested you'd have a decent front 7.
About your 5 options I'd favour 1. Sanchez is better to own than to worry about.
Now. Sterling is a tough one. Of course, based on form and recent returns, KDB sounds essential. But with the holy City trio (Agüero-Silva-Yaya) possibly out Sterling could play in an advanced position (that rarely suited him at 'Pool though, he lacks "clinicallity") or just benefit from their absence.
Maybe another option is Ayew to KDB (problem is we probably won't have news on Ayew's fitness before tonight) and play your 2 City mids this GW and move Sterling out for e.g. Sanchez next week (Manchester derby for Sterling, Everton at home for Sanchez). It also allows you to evaluate Chelsea options.
With Agüero out, yeah it may be a good idea to go 3-5-2.Mccarthy Butland
Kolarov Evans Darmian Richards Targett
Mahrez Payet Ozil Hazard Westwood
Aguero Gomis Pelle
1 free trandsfer & 1.4m in bank.
Priority is sort out Aguero,get rid of Darmian and get Alexis in. Anyone going for a big-hitting 5 man midfield due to lack of forward options? Looking at KDB,ALexis & Ighalo in for Ozil,Westwood & Aguero. Any thoughts?
I feel it's not the best timing for your Sanchez move though, for all the reasons I gave above. That said, last time I threw caution out for Sanchez he scored a 20 pointer hat-trick :rolleyes: :pac:...
Bertie could be a great replacement for Darmian.
Depends on your team. If you have things to sort out, it is indeed not the worst week to be taking a (couple of) hit(s)Socialist Serenade wrote: »Is -4 in this of all weeks necessarily a bad thing or are a lot of people in the same boat?. 0 -
