    Is Benteke doing anything at all? Might get him for Lukaku and bring in Coutinho for Redmond. But I guess the same goes for Redmond. Is he getting close? Could just sort out my keeper situation and leave Redmond and Lukaku.

    He is getting chances and missing them. He will definitely come good as some stage, I would just be vary of Palace at the moment as Pardew is coming under increasing pressure.

    Some talk of dropping Kun so I tricked about with my team by selling Kun to see how it would look.

    There wasn't any drastic difference really as you'd have to carry some City cover and ideally KDB.

    So I'm not really seeing the attraction bar the fact that he doesn't seem to be as potent under Pep. That would influence me more than the money saving.

    Yeah same as that really
    You simply have to have city attacking coverage and both are expensive
    Whereas if you were to get rid of Sanchez then Walcott is a MUCH cheaper option......pretty sure I'll be doing this soon........

    That's what I've done already re Sanchez to Walcott.

    I've taken consecutive -12 hits the last two weeks and first time all season I'm really happy with my team and especially my defence. Only an injury will have me looking at my defence over the next 8-10 GW's.

    Hopefully no more hits for a while as that -24 was part anger and part stupidity.

    Said **** it and got rid of Walcott, Lukaku and Friend for Siggy, Costa and Ake. Hoping it'll do the business. Will keep an eye on Kane as well for a possible transfer.

    ake only started cos smith was suspended.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,471 ✭✭✭✭km79


    spurs again looked poor and tired
    Kane again only had one shot
    a penalty

    in no rush to get him in now

    oh well ****. I was hoping he might get the nod for a bit cos of his performance at the weekend.

    True. But he has an unreal record in London derbies.

    17 in 16 games I think it is.

    This. Followed by Swans at home.

    Have been unfocused on FPL this past week for various reasons (it's no bad thing btw :)). Had a gut for Kane and went with it in a rather rash -8 on Sunday night and not thought about it since.

    I think Sanchez to Walcott to fit Siggy in will be my likely next move rather than drop Aguero just yet.

    Lukaku and Vertonghen out.... Costa (finally) and Brunt in.

    Yet another hit....and Capoue will be starting next week. Hopefully he's on another hot streak

    For the year 2016, Palace are ranked something like 92nd in England in terms of number of points gained per match. I'd stay well clear of any Palace players (apart from maybe Zaha) till they turn their form around or sack Pardew.

    Yeah but this year it's Conte's no European distractions Chelsea 6 PL CS in a row...

    Yeah. The best I could come up with was a front 8 of
    Firmino Coutinho Sanchez Hazard KDB
    Kane Austin Anichebe
    but with Pickford Jaku in goal and no Chelsea def cover (need to find £0.7m to upgrade Fuchs with Pieters McAuley Holebas & Amat at the back).
    So it needs another downgrade. Either Pedro or Walcott for Hazard or Sanchez.


    BTW, why this Walcott new love? He's done nothing in his last 3 PL games. And Giroud is coming back in the mix. Won't he affect Walcott's gametime?
    Don't get me wrong, I'd love Wally to re-become essential. Right now, I could just exactly afford a front 8 of
    Firmino Coutinho Hazard Walcott Siggy
    Aguero Kane Anichebe
    with admiteddly Pickford Jaku in goals
    but with Alonso Holebas Pieters McAuley Amat as a back 5.

    16 pts hit. But this team looks awesomely deadly! I should go to bed before my enthousiasm makes me confirm transfers :D.

    The new Walcott love is simply about having Arsenal cover for their upcoming fixtures if you're thinking about selling Sanchez.

    Have 2FT... Looking at a -4 with Sterling/Deeney/Fletcher out for Walcott/Siggy/Anichebe in...

    Would mean a 352 with a front 7 of:

    Firmino/Coutinho/Hazard/Siggy/Walcott
    Lukaku/Aguerro


    Would love to get Kane and Costa in over Christmas, but will leave that for a couple of weeks and see if Costa gets his ban out of the way and if Kane stays fit. Same with Alonso... all of these could be facilitated by axing Aguerro/Lukaku/Williams in maybe two or three gameweeks time. Or could do the whole damn thing now for -16 and be left with 0.1 ITB :eek: but this squad...

    Pickford
    Alonso/Lovren/Pieters
    Firmino/Coutinho/Hazard/Siggy/Walcott
    Kane/Costa

    Yeah, same. I'm banking this week though so could do Aguero/Deeney - Costa/Kane next week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,825 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Thinking of a -8 this week with Aguero, Lukaku and Allen out for Kane, Defoe and Firmino with 0.7 ITB for defender upgrade the following week


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,255 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    I'm having the kind of season where I couldn't care if rivals are spying on me :D


    Foster
    Amat - Alonso - McAuley - Pieters
    Mane - Coutinho - Firminho - Hazard
    Lukaku - Aguero
    Subs - Pickford, Kone, Allen, Keane (Hull)

    Thinking of a 4 point hit to get Lukaku and Allen out for Defoe and Sigurdsson to give me...

    Foster
    Amat - Alonso - McAuley - Pieters
    Mane - Coutinho - Firminho - Hazard - Sigurdsson
    Defoe - Aguero
    Subs - Pickford, Kone, Amat, Keane (Hull)

    Opinions?

    Walcott's missus is expecting any day. Could miss a match.

    Normally I'd agree about having to have some form of City attacking coverage but I don't think that's the case this season with the abundance of options right now. Guardiola is bound to rotate the team over Christmas and City have tough fixtures in their next 10. There are just so many options that I think going without coverage from City is not such a crazy method that some might seem to think.

    What are your thoughts on this transfer for a -4 and 0 left ITB?

    Chadli and Coleman out
    Sigurdsson and Luiz in

    I'm rather loath to get rid of Chadli, especially with Hull and Watford coming up.
    However, Sigurdsson has great fixtures coming up, and I don't have any Chelsea defenders at present which seems foolish considering their form.

    Not for a -4
    Both good moves on their own though

    Cheers. I was thinking the same, but almost convincing myself to go for it anyway; you know how it goes! I'll bank the transfer instead for now.

    If Sigurdsson destroys Palace at the weekend I'll be sickened.

    I'm considering the exact same move for a hit as well. If Pulis gives any indication that Chadli won't start against Hull then I'll probably do it. Have already lost .3 on him...him missing another match would be the final straw. Wait til the pressers tomorrow before you do anything I think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 727 ✭✭✭slimshady007


    Folks, any update on Lallana? Looks likely to miss this weekend too?

    Could miss 2-3 weeks from what was said in lasts weeks presser.

    Easiest transfer of the season. Allen > Siggy.

    Personally that's the one I'd do this week
    Don't think Coleman to Luiz justifies a -4 on top of that
