[FPL] - GW29 transfers

Spurs seem to have lost them selfs last few games meaning Bale has been out of things for a good while now.

Thinking maybe its time to move on from him and make most of the money hes worth on somewhere else in the team.

Also Valencia better be back next week because hes just sitting on so many peoples benchs including mine losing value.

Id be careful with Pog after watching Fulham today they cant score away from home for there lifes. Unless there at home they really under perform.

Lads I'm looking to squeeze Dempsey into my team for the home game next week. He has a great home record. I'm stuck for decisions on what to do? a straight switch would be:

Bale-> Dempsey

But I think Bale still has a few goals in him. So my other options are getting rid of Sessegnon and some other player (taking a 4 point hit) to get Dempsey in and some other very cheap player.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Heres my current team:

If you do Sess --> Dempsey you need to free up £2.3. So you could

• downgrade Ba to either Graham or Holt (I don't know their list of fixtures but they have been fairly consistent over the season for their price tag). I know Ba has good fixtures coming but he seems to start suffering from the post International competition hangover... And Newcastle are struggling at the moment. I hope I'm wrong (and he could potentially prove it tomorrow) as I still have him but it's more a forced choice due to other priorities than anything else at the moment.

• or downgrade Giggs to a 4.5 midfielder... Not so much tasty choice at that price though. Then I guess it all depends what will be your tactic. If you plan to play your 7 other striking force players and leave the 5th midfileder as a bench warmer, go for a cheap lad that has regular gametime (any of the top 10 top score of midfielder ≤ £ 4.5).

Cheers iroced. Will see what happens in tomorrows games and base my decision on that. need to get my team back on track again!

Might do Suarez to Balotelli . Apparently Mancini has said he should Start every game now .

Source?

That's definitely something looking into.

Ah. Well I'll keep an eye out. Balotelli finally being treated like a footballer could be incredible FF news.

Yep, I've been keeping an eye on him, he's a steal at 8m. All depends on Mancini playing him though.

11 goals in the small number of games he's played. Scores a goal roughly every 82 mins - this is a better return than RVP (95 mins) and Rooney (110 mins).

I need a united defender. Is Evans gonna stay put or what? I can afford Jones or even Evra but I'd definitely go for Evans if I was sure he'd keep his starting place.

I had my own concerns about Evans, which is why I brought in Smalling during my WC in Jan. Complete F-Up. Smalling hasn't stopped picking up different niggles/head injuries.

I wouldn't be too worried about Evans in the near future.

Get Sigurdson instead of Sinclair


Got Aguero out for Rooney, might get Balotelli in if needs be

So..... given United's fixtures it looks like their defence is gonna be keeping a lot of clean sheets from now til the end of the season. Therefore I shall be doubling up on united's defence. The question is who? Jones and Evans? Or is Smalling and Evans a better choice? I can see Smalling and Evans being the CB's from now on with Ferdinand being pushed out.


I know I've pretty much just asked this question above but... thoughts?

Maybe Evans and one of the United keepers?

The keepers get rotated though so I see no point investing De Gea only for Lindegaard to play a few of the remaining games instead of him. Also I have Reina so I'm covered for a good keeper. My idea is that the defence is where all the points will come from towards the end of the season. I have Reina and Richards already now is just the case of getting a United defender but I think getting two is a better option. The one downside is I can't get any United midfielder because I have Rooney and you're only aloud 3 players from one team. I'm thinking:


Caulker -> J Evans
Assou-Ekotto -> Evra


I don't see Spurs keeping their defensive form and Evra is going forward a hell of a lot lately. I see plenty of goals from United from here on in so I see plenty of assists from Evra. Pricey but will probably be worth it in the long run... I mean look at their fixtures!!!! :eek:


I always say I'm gonna do all of this and never actually end up doing it though probably because I don't have the balls! But I think I'll go for it this time. I'll be piling all my money into my defense but, lets face it, the pricey midfielders are doing nothing these days, might aswell spend on the defence.

Some transfers I'm considering over the coming GWs. A few bold ones in there but necessary for me to claw back the substantial lead my mate has in our cash league. Hopefully I'll resist any hits and phase them in accordingly.

Simpson -> Evans
McAuley-> Cahill
Silva -> Lampard
Sessegnon -> Young
Suarez -> Yakubu
Ba -> Progrebnyak
