Hi folks,
Are many people having difficulty with their defences?
I am a tad stuck, I have:
Bellerin,
Kolorov,
Zouma,
Evans,
Taggart.

I was thinking of doing a -4 and doing kolorov to kompany and hoping that one of the others get points. Anyone any ideas on one or two trades to strengthen that defence?
I had been planning to go to Colman and Joel ward in a couple of weeks. Should I stick to that plan?

That's from the injuries and suspensions thread on the 13th re. Kolarov.
So I think you should stick to your plan.

Costa in and captained. Que another red card.

I understand the forum mantra seems to be form over fixtures but I can't see any other replacement for Aguero than Costa for this weekend.

He has so much to prove to his manager and fans after his start to the season and that alone could be reason to give him a chance but Chelsea are at home to Villa tomorrow. It's an easy choice surely ?

I expect Villa to be well and truly hammered tomorrow and surely Costa will be heavily involved.

One of the easier decisions of the season so far and he will be my captain.

He worries me this week, but I've decided I wouldn't want him the weeks after at his price so I'll have to face it.

There's been enough ripping apart of teams going on this week without bringing in a player I wouldn't want long-term. Chap is a loose cannon and priced prohibitively.

Yes. I'm only interested in him for this weekend. Might choose a striker each week that has a good fixture until Kun is back.

I suppose I'm really picking the striker that is playing at home to Villa but I am happy it's Costa this week as I'm expecting a demolition.

Having already done Aguero to Pelle, I can now afford to go Wanyama to Pedro for a -4, leaving me this front 8:

Sanchez KdB Pedro Payet Mahrez
Pelle Martial Vardy

Am I mad? I know I shouldn't be looking to Chelsea players just because of their fixture this weekend, but it's hard not to. Given that he was benched the last time out it would definitely be a punt, thouogh...

Could also afford Mahrez to Hazard (5.0 ITB), but I can't justify the move given their respective form so far.

I can't see you not taking hits that way.

spock.

There's a good chance Pedro gets benched again this week.
Honestly with the form both are in I'd much rather Willian to Pedro (although I wouldn't be taking a hit for him.

Yes I'll need some luck re injuries.

Currently top 100k and taking a -12 this week. Still sitting on my WC but not willing to use it just yet.

You think your wildcard is worth more than 12 points?

Add 12 points to your score and see where you would lie overall - possibly around 20K I'd imagine.

Given that you have to use it by Christmas, I'd use it now unless you've a specific plan for it. Not many situations will require more than 4 transfers unless you really lose the run of yourself.

Thinking of going with a Swansea defender instead of Bertie for a few weeks. He is a small bit cheaper and the too teams fixtures are similar over the next few weeks. Main reason though is to have a bit of lee-way with Southampton players. With Pelle & Mane firing I think 3 may be a bit overkill at the moment. Also, I am a sucker for a player during MNF!

Is Zabaleta back in poll-position to start? Viewing him as a cheaper alternative to Kol.

I know my soccer but I'm fairly new to FPL so my tactics may not be the best.

My thinking is that most people will be taking hits this weekend and with 2 new managers I'd like to see the lay of the land.

Also, there seems to be doubt about some popular players that are currently injured and the extent of their injury.

I basically gambled and did 2 early transfers, for price reasons, and got stung with 1-2 international injuries.

Use it and at worst you will consolidate your position
Find a score 12 points back and you will be suprised just how far back the 12 points takes you!

Reading the responses to my post and now I'm doubting myself. I reckon you guys are better are strategy than myself.

Might draw up a WC team today and think about it. I am carrying some deadwood but I can get 11 players, that I'm happy to play, on the pitch.

Play the wildcard I'd say. Not many 16 point hit necessities arise over the course of the season so at worst you'd be equalling with your next most needy situation.

Play it wisely so you won't need it again for a while!!! Go with players you'll want to keep rather than people who have a good fixture this week.

You'll find yourself making less hits and every hit you don't have to make gives you the same amount of points as a striker goal or a defender clean sheet.

Does Giroud have ANY chance of starting?

Socialist Serenade

Player(s) in Player(s) out
Walcott Silva
De Bruyne Westwood
Pellè Agüero

Dempsey

Did Aguero to Pelle in the end. Good form and fixtures, a solid bet for a return.

De Gea or Myhill to start is the problem now

Yes, there's a chance. I think Wenger would be stupid to rotate this early in the league, but he doesn't seem to value my opinion :pac:

Scored twice for France during the week.

I think if Alexis Sanchez is out, Walcott & Giroud will start.

Mr. Guappa

Now Berahino has a knock.. brilliant. I currently have:

Aguero and Gomez out, Berahino, Ayew and Kolarov doubtful, Muniesa who has been dropped, Mahrez who could be at risk and 2-point Westwood.

Gomes - Guzan

Kolarov - Cawson - Martin - Gomez - Muniesa

Sanchez - Payet - Mahrez - Ayew - Westwood

Pelle - Berahino - Aguero

I have 1 FT and 3.5 ITB. The obvious moves are Aguero to Lukaku/Sturridge/Ighalo/Vardy and Gomez/Muniesa to perhaps Bellerin. I'd also like to work De Bruyne in for Westwood, which would mean a -8.

Took a -8 hiy myself, had to be done.

Muniesa being dropped is scandalous, he'd been doing alright too

sheroman01

Brought in Pelle, Bertrand and KDB for -4. Didn't think too much into it. Hope it works out well.

So.. only looking at my team again now after stupidly making two transfers (-4) straight after the last gameweek completely forgetting about the Int break. Onbviously there's been a whole load of injuries but i'm sure no other quite like the Aguero ordeal has affected the masses, question is where to go from here!

Do i make just one more transfer this week for a -8 or at least try bring in some cover (Sanchez) at the cost of a -12? I'm also concerned about not being able to afford Sergio again in the future but with him out till the end of Nov it's irrelevant.

There are multiple other issues with my current team. Joel ward the pox was due back this week originally but now i see that has been put back for another week (24th Oct) anyone know the reason behind this? he was 75% chance of playing last i saw.:mad: Also i have Sagna who is probably not going to get another look in bar Zabaleta getting injured. Basically my defence is facked!

Should i just suck it up this week, play Bassong and Wanyama and field a week team or should i sort this mess out somewhat!?

TLDR team needs surgery... HELP

Ziegler1988

I'd do Aguero out for a hit and then just hope Sagna plays. If not, Bassong isn't the worst backup. Sanchez could probably wait a week

Socialist Serenade

I had 2 transfers banked and used a -8

OUT

Rooney
Aguero
Silva
Westwood

IN

Pelle
Costa
De Bruyne

Who to bring in for Aguero then? No chance i'm bringing in Costa he's been useless so far this season. Vardy actually looks like the best option as crazy as that sounds ha. Nice fixtures over the next few weeks but is Mahrez and Vardy overkill?
