lukaku out

Thank you.

Really hope he drops again before saturday, the cheaper the better.
Some tasty fixtures coming up - season keeper from here on out, barring injury.

Scorpion Sting

Moreno out for Daniels.

loadwire

Bertrand -> Baines most likely at the moment. Tempted by Mirallas too.

NabyLadistheman

Many folk swapping KDB to Silva? Im giving in big consideration

Jaggo

Anyone considering going to a cheap 5th mid?

I think Barry at 4.2 might be a good bet. Good fixtures, no international nor European games, in a good side with good fixtures. He is ever present barring his sending off. Doesn't get yellow cards (ahem, please ignore the red card).
He normally chips in with 5/6 assists a season.

With the Bournemouth mids being a little less secure of game time these days, are there any better 5th mid options out there? Fletcher could be one?

I'm pretty sure he's the most booked player in Prem League history :P

But yeah I will be switching to a cheap 5th mid. Alli to Stanislas I think.

Anyone tempted by Miallas or is he too risky with rotation? Looked good the last day.

Fletcher was my free transfer last week. He got subbed at half time with a knee injury. Haven't heard how bad it is yet or if he'll be out for a while.

He is too risky. Shame as he has a lot more goals in him than any other eve mid.

Wijnaldum only scores at home apparently.....think Newcastles next couple of games are away

Also, this Daniels guy. Sunderland & Palace away next. Then Arsenal & Stoke at home. Watford away & Saints home. More than 1 CS (Stoke)? Maybe Palace too (5 consecutive PL games without scoring).

Clean sheets pfffffttttt. Its all about the goals, assists and 3 bonus:pac:. I tend to agree with you on daniels those fixtures aren't great

I am starting to think the same about Daniels. If it was Quarter 1 I'd be in there for the price rises, but take away his attacking returns its 5 clean sheets all season and tough fixtures as highlighted. Yes he's on pens but are you going to play him every week for that reason? No. How many of that next 6 are you gonna start him? 2 or 3 maybe? > 50% chance he'll get that penalty when on your bench.

I'm not quite sure what to do with my team if anyone wants to have a look.

Courtois (McCarthy)
Evans, Toby, Williams, Moreno, Souare
Ozil, Payet Mahrez, Arnie, Alli
Lukaku, Kane, Aguero.
2FTs & 4.6m in bank.

I'm ripe for a bit of an overhaul but not sure how to play it.

GKs: Courtois is not delivering lately. GW19 and 20 he got 2 decent (differential to an extent) clean sheets, but only 1 save point and no bonus so 6 & 7 pts. Now two 1 pointers in a row and Watford and Arsenal away next don't bode well. For 1.2m less I could have Pickford/Elliot and a perfect rotation for the rest of the season. Is it worth using 2 Fts to sort GKs though!?!?

Defence: Hasnt been getting me points, but clean sheets have been had to come by. The Daniels wagon is tempting but in terms of fixtures and CS potential is he any better than Souare or Williams? Williams - bought for Bellerin 2 weeks ago on the back of 3 CS (with max bonus) from 4 but has 1 point in the 2 games since - is possibly a mistake I need to acknowledge and repair. Maybe even back to Arsenal. But I want to keep the defence cheap. Toby the only luxury but with consistent assist threat and decent fixtures I'll hold. What surgery does that defence need? Apart from Williams out if they are crap again tonight?

Mids: I'm on a very cheap midfield which won't last forever and will be where the 4.6m in my bank goes. Arnie out is almost certain. Ozil out if I get Sanchez in probably an option. Mahrez under close scrutiny as with most people - having Alli an an alternative 4th mid probably allows more time to monitor Mahrez. Assuming I keep Mahrez for now, and Alli as 5th mid plus Payet I have room for 2 big hitters - who should they be? Sanchez, KdB, Silva (City have good fixtures and probably justify 2 attackers).

Fwds:
Happy with them for now. Costa for Kane a possibility and should be affordable even with 2 big mids, Payet, Alli and Mahrez.

Ziegler1988

Probably bring Payet in for Ozil, Sanchez had a muscle injury and already had a setback. His game is based on sprints and quick turns so I'd like to see him play a full match first. Still planning to ignore Aguero this week (at my own peril)

FHFC

Seems I posted such a longwinded rambling team question that it crashed boards!

All aboard the Baines wagon for me.....

FHFC

I do not get that at all I'm afraid. More Everton defenders than Baines, see people talking about Howard too.

Everton have conceded the most---the most---goals at home in the PL this season. 20 goals in 11 games. More than Newcastle (18), Villa (14) and almost double Sunderland (11). They have a good away record with 5 away clean sheets but home clean sheets are the meat and drink of an FPL defender surely.

As for Baines he's no longer on pens, may have some direct frees (I'm not sure) and probably some corners. He did get 2 assists from play at the weekend but thats not something he's known for.

Its a one possible two game punt for me, trying to get a decwnt free transfer with FHCL in mind.

Maybe worth it for those 2 games, although, again, they conceded at home to Watford (2), West Brom (2), Sunderland (2), Palace (1), Norwich (1) and Stoke (4) and Bournemouth (3).

Newcastle and Swansea are the 2 lowest scoring away sides though! Hmm.

KrakityJones

Welcome back to my team Mr Austin, may you perform for Southampton like you did with QPR last year.

Fhfc Mccarthy to elliot. Decent team this week . Keep 2 for the next gw when we will know carling cup finalists and off chance of dgw 25. The next Rd of fa cup will also have been played so we will know some teams that will have a gw 30 which may influence your transfers out. Newcastle for example play Leicester gw 30 so if Leicester lose replay to spurs this week that's a game that will definetly go ahead.

why is there a possible DGW in gw25? or what has to happen for it to go ahead?

I got Hart in as mainly i wanted city defensive cover as a lot in my main league have it, but i seen a possible city dgw mentioned somewhere here.

mackcracknsack

Mahrez out Barkley back in.

Mahrez due a price drop and could happen tonight

siblers

Can do Ighaloo to Lukaku for a -4 but I dunno whether to play my wildcard or not. Want to get rid of Mahrez, most of my defence and KDB but these weekend fixtures are pretty ugly so might be better to wait.

Calvin

idk who to get rid of for Aguero...Lukaku or Kane? Which are you guys getting rid of? My 3rd striker is Vardy

Everton got Swansea (h) New (h) and Stoke (a) for next 3 games.
Spurs got Palace (a) Norwich (a) and Watford (H) for next 3 games.

Lukaku was very lively against Chelsea and could hae had 2 goals and an assist as well, I don't have Lukaku but do have Kane, think I'll hold onto Kane, Palace are awful at the moment and Norwich only had one cs this season ( I think )but I'll either bring in Lukaku or Aguero for Ighaloo or Giroud, most likely go with Igahloo to Lukaku as Giroud is in reasonble form, despite tricky fixtures coming.

AdMMM

Have a couple of options this week...

Can do a simple cost cutting measure in defence and do Dawson/Ward -> Targett. Have a bit too much money tied up in defense so that could save between .8 and 1.2m. On the Targett note, why has he been starting lately? Is he playing as a defensive midfielder?

Second on the list is to bite the bullet and get rid of Mahrez. He was unlucky to miss the penalty, I know, but the second half of the season means the games are changing with opponents focusing on and figuring out how to get the better of him. The only thing that makes this decision hard is that I don't really know who to go for... possibly Alli?

That being said, I could just let it roll to give me two FTs next week.

Benimar

My strike force is currently Aguero, Kane and Ighalo. Really want to get Lukaku in, but the only way to do it without a hit is a straight swap for Kane :eek:

Another alternative is Ighalo & Kolarov to Lukaku and Simpson for a -4.

I suppose I'm wondering if people think either option is 'sensible' or do I just stick with Ighalo at home to Newcastle and bin Kolarov for AN Other defender?
