    With only 4 games I can't understand why people are taking -8 and -12, a -4 to field 9 should cover this gameweek imo.

    If you want the players your getting in for the next few weeks or you have deadwood to get rid off there is no better time to do it.

    Yea I'll be ditching Zlatan, Stanislas and Phillips if he's injured and bringing in Mane, Siggurdson/King and llorente who are all in great form. I'll probably captain Mane his home form is brilliant.

    Will have 11 plus the luxury of 2 subs (!)...no hits but I've obviously lost a gazillion points overplanning for GW 27 & 28 :-(

    I could do with a monster score to put some smidgen of respectability on this car crash of a season but probably not a week for big scores either way.....

    Heaton

    Brunt Coleman Smith

    Grosicki Antonio Mané Siggy Barkley

    Lukaku Carroll

    Subs: Foster Amat Azpi Aguerooooo

    Coleman/Baines/Robertson

    Mane Siggy Carroll Firmino

    On a -4 atm with 7 players. Is it worth taking a -8 to get rid of Philips and field a total of 8 players

    WBA have tough fixtures coming up so you'll probably need to sell him at some stage anyway, if there is a player who has a game this weekend and who you want to play for the following gw (at least), then it's worth doing it.

    If you plan on bringing in someone for Philips and then selling that player the following gw, then I wouldn't bother doing it.

    8, 1 keeper, 1 def, 5 mid, 1 forward.
    5 mid depends on phillips playing

    10 now assuming Phillips is starting. Took a -8 but happy with it. As a few have said this is the week to lose the deadwood.

    Foster
    Coleman, Lovren, Fernandez
    Mane, Firmino, Phillips, Siggy
    Loriente, Lukaku

    No it's a bad idea. This isn't an obvious candidate to be a high scoring week.

    A minus 4 really isn't worth it.

    If you pick a striker who scores it's still only 5 points....profit of 1...chances of not scoring are higher than scoring.

    Which is why you need to play it tactically and only make transfers that you should make a profit on in the weeks to come also. Which is doable making a couple of transfers, but probably won't stretch as far as teams who only have 5 or 6 players playing this week because you'll have to cast the net out a bit further than the waters where the tastiest fish swim.

    When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. :D

    If you are transferring out a player who won't play for a player you want for at least 2 to 3 weeks hits are totally worth it. Worst case scenario barring yellow or red card is it's a 2 point hit with a strong chance if gaining more than 2 points in the incoming weeks.

    Philips out for a hit is a no brainier IMO with the likes of Lanzini/Snoddy/Grosicki/Siggy depending on who you can afford.

    There seem to be some doubts about Firmino this weekend, so if he doesn't play I'll only have 8 players. That's still okay I think, but I'll only have three attackers in that scenario...

    Worth taking a -8 to get Llorente in for Aguero? Swansea have a decent fixture the following week, and I'd probably be in a position to bank a transfer to sort the team out for GW30.

    Might bring Tom Carroll in for Phillips just as a bit of tidy up and give me more money for the next week
