    Can't have thoughts without knowing who you're benching. ;)

    Good use of AOA.

    And thank you. :Dear
    He's only slightly more crazy than Negredo IMO, and he's somehow leading the captain poll.

    Downing was superb vs Arsenal. Agnew raves about him. Set pieces. Headers. Humour me. ;)

    I'm wildcarding next week. He's the punt.

    I like the logic behind it! I will be an interesting spectator. I had Negredo but sold him for Benteke before the last GW. He had been dropped & boro struggling for goals. Then he scores v Arsenal! Logic eh...

    I've a wildcard in my back pocket also, Gw 36 for me

    Right.

    My current front line is Aguero Lukaku Barnes.
    Midfield is Sanchez Alli Siggy Zaha Lanzini
    Defs are Valencia Chambers Alonso Holebas McAuley.
    Heaton & Randolph in goals.

    Have 2 FT. Am thinking of going back to 3-4-3. Barnes + Lanzini -> Benteke/Negredo + De Roon.

    Question is Benteke or Negredo? Or Rashford?

    Have no WC left & BB already used. Am decently ranked at 40K so am trying to rearrange my team as much mid-term as I can. Hence the switch back to 3-4-3 since I feel it'll be better for DGW37 and for the current one too.

    Then I'll play Valencia & Chambers and hope luck will be on my side this time. Maybe a -4 for McAuley out. But for who? Doubling up on Boro with the safer Gibson? Palace def? But very tough fixtures. Another United def (Bailly?)? But tough fixtures too (ditto for 37).

    Help here, do the hell do I drop out of my front 7. I've got

    Alli, Son, Coutinho, King, Zaha, Aguero, Lukaku and Kane. One of them have to be on my bench, but who the hell do I put there.

    Tough choice, 3 Spurs players there. Maybe Alli.

    Ya, was leaning towards Son cos of that, but then their form is great

    Wow tough one - all out attack chip not available? Maybe son though he could be dropped for Chelsea game if spurs go to back three so could be fresh for palace midweek. You have a lot of funds in front 8 look at switching it out to a decent front 7 and invest at the back.

    All this Negredo love is making me nervous. My front three are Lukaku, Kane and Benteke. Anyone think I should get Negredo instead of any one of these?

    Toss up between negredo and benteke. Benteke better form but against tougher teams and costs more. I went negredo but only because of funds dictated it. I wouldn't switch in your position. Bank the transfer or save the hit.

    Have plenty of money in back too as my team value is 107.5. GK and defense are Heaton, Schmeichel, Alonso, PVA (just bought for McAuley), Chambers, Pieters, Mawson.

    Midfield ain't that heavy too, they're just on good form, King, Zaha and Son were cheap to buy, and I've had Alli since he was 8.3m.

    Don't have AOA available either sadly (although I'd probably have to drop Alonso then so still not good)

    Nice work. Maybe an upgrade on pieters if possible at some point to DGW players otherwise not much you can improve

    Can't seem to make a decision on a transfer :(
    Have a front 7 of
    Sanchez, Alli, Zaha, King
    Lukaku, Aguero and Kane

    Options to bring in are probably from Rasford, Negredo or Lingard, but struggling to see if theres any real benefit in it. Maybe if I still had a wildcard available for the week after might see it a bit different, but at the moment thinking I'll stick with what I have.

    Anyone seeing the benefit in a transfer, or think I'm as well of sticking with what I have?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,672 ✭✭✭ElTel


    Caballero to DeGea and Valencia to Blind for -4 done.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,672 ✭✭✭ElTel


    How about option 3:

    Absolutely anything but the above :pac:

    That, or a Spacecraft/PVA double salvo? :)

    Still no transfer made.

    Jakupovic
    Baines - Mawson - Valencia
    Zaha - Eriksen - Alli - King - Sanchez
    Lukaku - Kane
    Subs: Heaton, Bertrand, Crouch, Fuchs

    Can anyone see an ATTACKING transfer. My big problem is I'm not eager to transfer out any of those 7 players and if I transfer someone in for Ceoich, I have to drop one of those 7 :-/

    Downgrade Crouch and roll the FT?

    Lloris for Heaton?

    Solid roll I'd say. Good Luck.

    I have same front 3 and similar decision to make. Roll I think. Kun has good fixtures and I think could score against a weakened utd defence. DGW fwd options don't appeal at all. Only decision is who to captain. Currently on big Rom.

    I have the exact same front 8 except I have Pedro for your Coutinho.

    Currently benching Pedro.

    Who are you going to captain?

    Also similar to myself.

    Think I'm Gonna hold my FT and use it next week with an eye on the next dgw.

    My problem is not getting in a DGW player like Benteke, Negredo or Downing this week, it's the inevitable hits to get rid of them next week that's putting me off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 524 ✭✭✭Issac


    Brought in Bailly for McAuley. Nothing too inspiring.
    Have Zaha and DDG as well for DGW.
    Captained Kane.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,530 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Brunt to PVA for a hit and bench vertonghen
    Or play vertonghen?

    I'd be reluctant to bench Vertonghen anyway (depends on the rest of your defence) - I think he could get a clean sheet. Not nailed on, but definitely potential imo.

    This seems like a stick or twist question when there's only one answer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    When you wake up with a mild temptation to swap Aguero for Negredo then full DGW fever has hit you....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    Used 2 ft's.

    Ibra to negredo & fletcher to firmino.
    Using the aoa chip and none of the dgw midfielders jumped out at me, uniteds midfield is a lottery now with rotation, already have Zaha & no boro midfielders appealing.

    Came down to firmino hazard or king.
    Just went with firmino as hazard still has to get through a fa cup semi final and firmino comes up against a palace side minus sakho who has been great.
