Have 2 FTs so moving Routledge on but not sure to follow the trend of Capoue or gamble on Snodgrass? There's 1 million in the difference is Snodgrass to expensive at 5.6 for a 5th mid? Have no Watford or Hull players currently

Depends on your approach, I prefer a strong front 7 and having the 8th as being bench fodder but also someone who will actually play if I'm forced to use him. For me, an extra 1m isn't justified for someone who will mainly be on the bench, especially as team value is so vital this year. But if you want to have the option to bring in your 5th midfielder if that player has favourable fixtures, then it's probably worth the extra 1mil.

Mr.Prodston

I have 2 FTs but think I'm going to leave my potential reshuffling of Vardy/Townesnd/Mirallas etc (if needed, probably needed :pac:) until after this GW.

As such I might just do Evans -> McCauley. Although Stones may prove prudent too. It means starting Heaton away to Chelsea or Jaku at home to Man Utd but I don't really want to waste a transfer there.

Exciting times in Prodston Towers this evening clearly....

what do people think of getting rid of Mahrez? Hold this week and get rid for liverpool?

I got rid of Mahrez before the Arsenal game to free up funds.
If I still had him I'd hold him for next 2 gameweeks.
I'd fancy myself to score against Liverpool- 5 goals conceded in first 2 League matches.

Would hold Townsend this week - think he'll come good. Maybe just Smith to Love or Marc Wilson if you want to get a 4. m def more likely to play.

Thinking of doing something similar. Do we think Wilson might start this weekend? Centre back more likely than left back I assume?

It's hard to know - scored midweek though - I do think he will eventually become a regular, but impossible to know when Howe throws him in.

Debating a hit to get rid of Deulofeu before price drop. Have enough to get Tadic in for him but already have Redmond. Or would I be better off to just suck up the drop and hope he plays tomorrow?

thewools

Berahino to drop tonight.. might bring him in for next two GW. Is he playing up front or on the wing?

Chesty08

I'm on my WC.. Do I bring Marc Wilson in now?

My current defence is
Shaw Valencia Walker McAuley Amat

My considerations are dropping 1 of Shaw Walker or McAuley.

Shaw or Walker can see me upgrade Redmond to Tadic who I would much prefer to habe

Copper_pipe

Have 2 FT to use but not sure what to do with them.

Feghouli to someone you can possibly rotate with Redmond for Soton's tough away fixtures?

Lads could I get a bit of help I have no clue what to do for this week:

Why are you going with Kante? That's one to look at.

That's a valid point, any replacement suggestion? Think I'm alright other than that?

I'd consider wildcarding, your team needs work. 2 Sunderland attackers is a bit of a disaster, you shouldn't have Matic (unless he is 4.5) or Kante. You shouldn't have double Leicester, you need a Utd keeper or defender, you should consider getting rid of Ozil(although Ozil can still come good) or Martial for Hazard and bring in some lower priced attacking midfielders like Redmond or Delufeou.

Not the biggest fan of it, I think you're weak up front, but top of the list for me would be getting rid of Matic and Kante as they don't offer much going forward, I'd consider downgrading those to 4.5s so you can free up cash up front.

Perhaps try catch a rise on Barry for 4.5M Copper_pipe? Fletcher? Save the other one.

Changed it up a little bit, will be using my Wildcard just need some budgetting advice now. Thinking of getting rid of Martial and one of my Leicester defenders although not sure which one. Thoughts so far?

siblers

I'd downgrade Martial and upgrade Borini. 3 of your attacking 8 are pretty weak, you should have a strong front 7. Not sure about Toby either, 6.5 for a defender is a lot when there are plenty of 5.0-5.5 alternatives.

Get rid of Mahrez and 1 of your Leicester defenders IMO. Bring in Redmond and a 4.5 defender and you've a proper budget for a 3rd striker.

diusmr8a504cvk

Lads ye're advice has been brilliant. I've 1.5M remaining and wondering is it worth upgrading in another department and just for ye're thoughts on the whole thing in general:

If you haven't hit the wildcard button yet, I'd consider holding off until tomorrow after the matches have kicked off and maybe just use free transfer if you have one.
Think you need to make some changes there, Kante, Matic and Borini for a start but It's very late in the week to be using a wildcard.
Maybe leave for this gw and start wildcard tomorrow, at least that way you might manage to get some price rises over the week.

Alderweireld to Walker frees up another 0.9m.

Also, as Mike Ehrmantraut said, DO NOT wild card tonight, wait until 11:31 tomorrow and monitor price rises over the international break.

Is that not a lot of hassle? Would it not be easier to just wildcard it now as my team seems to have improved a great deal now.

I don't think so.
A lot can happen in two weeks, players may come back injured.

It would be a lot easier and your team would be better, but if you leave your wildcard until tomorrow you could also increase it's value too.

So basically, keep a draft of the team that I make out but send out my team the way it was at the beginning. Once the deadline comes use my wildcard and implement the drafted team?

Having a few euro left over paid off, could upgrade Friend to Shaw, still a few quid left to sort out the defence.

Well not quite. You keep your draft team in mind but you play the team value game by watching the price changes. There will be a few including myself who will WC during the break so follow the relevant threads.
Perhaps play Matic instead of Kante?:o

Is it worth bringing Nolito or am I better going with Sterling? I am a bit worried Nolito won't start despite his flying start.

Have neither but I'd go for Nolito. A better finisher.
