If you read the 19.15 post properly my friend you will see there is no question about the Rashford part. Just the Payet/Caz. You brought up Rashford. 3. Whoa. I'm a huge Alexis believer. But we all had to pick somebody to go without. I probably shoulda got him in my wildcard as I know the risks of not owning him. But in fairness to the Caz punt, he only trails Alexis by 11 points in the 3 weeks. And would be much closer but for stupid Sanchez inexplicably taking a penalty off him. 4. I'm just a bit hurt you think I'd actually miss a price rise on Rashford. Me!!

Swear to god I made the moves 3 or 4 times last week when tinkering around. But somehow I'm now 0.2 short. I'm losing my marbles this year. So. The question for yis is.. A) Do I ship Payet to Alexis? Pros. Keep Cazorla who looked good yesterday for another game or 2. They are surely due a penalty soon too! Would free up cash for maybe an arsenal def too. Cons. Payet has MID, cry, SUN. But was not at the races today and WHU getting a bit toxic. Or do I go to -8 and free up some cash from my defence. Probably Baines out. And do Sanchez for Caz. My defence like most is in a mess. And as no defence (apart from Arsenal) look worth it I'm largely gonna ignore it unless I need to release value, or an opportunity for a good odds hit emerges. Sanchez in incoming no matter what.

FHFC wrote: » True. Actually thought of that at the time but forgot. Still if he was only 9 behind Alexis I'd have been happy, said that at the time. Not that unhappy with 11 given that Costa, Puncheon and Payet have returned for me and wouldn't have been in a Sanchez team. Keeping Costa rather than a cheap striker of whom I didn't fancy any, was a key reason for leaving Sanchez at least for a while. Over the 3 weeks in fact I'd say Costa&Caz are pretty close to Sanchez&Gray/Negredo etc, if not ahead. Edit. Definitely ahead in fact given I captained Costa GW4 when all ye lads captained your shiny new Alexis.

Williams and Bolasie: How did Everton play - were they unlucky to concede? How was Bolasie and Lukaku's link up play? Bournemouth are no pushovers but I was expecting this to go the other way! Townsend: 3 Goals for Palace and seemingly no involvement from their most creative and paciest player! Did he come close at all? Firmino: I was faced with a choice between him and Coutinho but went for Firmino as he's playing in a more advanced role. I saw some of this game and it seemed as if a lot of the play was bypassing him. Would a straight swap to either Lallana or Coutinho be a smart play here? Costa/Ibrahimovic: Did these guys just get unlucky to not be involved at all? Can't see myself dropping Costa with Hull next up but Ibra could very well be on the chopping block.

FHFC wrote: » I captained Ibra so 5 points difference. And I'd have needed a hit somewhere. I got Aguero back with no hit cause I hadn't the money tied up in midfield. But yeah its a many layered thing, but not as straightforward Sanchez has 2 great GWs so not having him was a balls up. I haven't worked it out but I'd bet Caz/Costa vs Sanchez/most cheap forwards is much of a muchness last 3 weeks.

I reckon this could be the last season Im banging on about sanchez as chances are he will be reclassified as a fwd next year.

Lamela and Snodgrass i wouldn't expect much of either this gw, but gw8 onwards Hull have a lovely run and Snodgrass on pens and set pieces, i'll almost certainly be getting him in myself.
FHFC wrote: » Ok time to confess. I did my -8 last night. No thats not it. I got Sanchez before his rise leaving me 4.4 to replace Collins. Was gonna go for a 3.9 or 4.0 who didn't play to free up funds. But I didn't. I brought in Geoff Cameron of Stoke. :eek: Pro. He's playing oop. Con. He's playing for Stoke. Pro. He got a bonus point vs WBA in a 1-1 draw. Con. He's playing for Stoke. Pro. They have amazing fixtures from GW8 Con. Stoke. Defender.
