    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.

    Barring injury, DDG wil play all league games for the rest of the season. I'm very confident of that.

    Transfer this week is gnawing at me because it's almost a sin to transfer him out but my planned transfer is

    Silva > Young

    Silva has Chelsea (H), Stoke (A), Sunderland (H), Arsenal (A), WBA (H) and Norwich (a).

    Young has Wolves (A), Fulham (H), Blackburn (A), QPR (H), Wigan (A) and Villa (H)

    The logical part of my brain says get Young in at all costs!!! (Have Rooney and Evans too).

    The L'pool defence haven't been that great the last few games. Scratch that they have been shocking. 2 clean sheets in 11 games. Didn't realise it was that bad. I might off load Enrique now.

    Whoa whoa whoa, slow down! :pac: Liverpool haven't kept a clean sheet in 3 games because they've had 3 tough fixtures. Where is this 11 games with only two clean sheets coming from? :pac: They've been consistent enough CS keepers and they've just played all the toughest teams so they have an easy end of season run ahead of them.

    I'd still worry about De Gea though tbh. I'll stick with Reina, I always have Vorm to back him up anyway! The question I'm facing now is whether Young would be a better transfer in than a second United defender. Young's place on the team isn't certain and I'd be transferring silva out for him so it's a tough decision.

    It's actually 3 CSs in 10. Sorry for the miscount.

    I think Reina is a bit expensive as a keeper. I have Begovic in there and he's saving me 2 million that I can invest somewhere else.

    I think Young would definitely be a better choice. If he doesn't work out (or loses his place) then Valencia is the man to get in instead of him. He has dropped in price to 7.6 now. He's not far off another drop in price as well.

    Aguero -> Rooney last night

    didn't dwell on it and just done it last night even though it felt so wrong to do it...Silva and Ade --> Sinclair and Rooney. Rooney is just a must have in my opinion with the fixtures coming up so had to get rid of the 2 of them to get him in..Silva's gone quite anyway and Ade is hot and cold

    Worth taking the punt early on Rooney this week

    His price will rocket


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    I wanted to get him last week but getting rid of Sessegnon took my 1FT


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,844 ✭✭✭carlcon


    For those looking to ship Silva; Walcott is looking to be in good form lately. He's not his usual headless chicken self. Getting good balls into the box, as well as running into lots of free space.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 207 ✭✭Hairy Nipples 87


    Walcott played very well tonight, anyone who has him must be raging he didnt get more points tonight, Rosicky let him down for an assist!

    I think it was more like Walcott let Rosicky down with the pass. It was a terrible pass.

    He did very well to turn back and then fired the ball at Rosicky, who could only poke a leg at it. If he was a bit more composed then it was a certain goal.

    He got an assist for the second goal though. So 5 pts isnt a bad return. had the little fecker for awhile around time he got lots of assists against blackburn and despite his impressive return he made me pull my hair out. he could be the best ff player around but never actually produces despite all the potential.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    Yep, bought in Walcott and I'm hoping a few more followed my recommendation :)

    Didn't see the game last night but according to BBC he got two assists, which one was given to Ramsey and is there any chance of Walcott be awarded it?

    Not a hope I'd say, The assist for Vermalaen's goal was giving to Van Persie first then taking off him and giving to Ramsey. Walcott gave the assist for Van Persie's goal.

    I've got rid of Aguero and Ba for Rooney and Pogrebynak, taking a 4 point hit in the bargain.

    Sooooo I still have my wildcard and I'm thinking of going for whats below. I've had the worst two weeks of the season for my last two and have dropped to 2nd in my money league. Need to pull it back. Opinions welcome.

    Also Killgallon is there simply because he's cheap and it free's up additional funds. I still have 1.4 mill left.

    I cant see your team(work restrictions) but id upgrade kilgallon to Caulker or shotton or some other 4m def as kilgallon oesnt play and for the extra .1 you need to have at least someone who will play. Esp since you have 1.4m in the bank


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 344 ✭✭veXual


    Here's what I have at the moment. I'm very skeptical about Walcot he's haunted me before:

    De Dea
    Evan Assou-Ekotto Caulker
    Silva Dempsey Sigurdssun Walcott
    v.Persie Rooney Pog
    Subs: Mignolet, Raylor, McClean, Kilgallon

    Like I said never mind Kilgallon I have him because he's cheap and frees up funds. I'm tempted to fit Mata/Young in somewhere but Young is likely for rotation soon. This is also the 1st time I've dropped Aguero so I'll cry if he scores.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,635 ✭✭✭miller82


    Thinking of ditching Mata or Silva for Young. Cant decide which one ? Both have done relatively crap the last few weeks.

    Any thoughts ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,267 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    I'd advise people to steer clear of Young. That's my opinion. For me he's just a player that has a run of 2 or maybe 3 good games and then drifts into obscurity

    I agree. Cracking player but the last two games were the first time all season he's played the full 90 minutes twice in a row! If he was a guaranteed starter I'd have him in the team, this might be a bit more likely with Valencia injured but Fergie just doesn't seem to know his favourite MF.

    Gonna take a punt on Valencia myself. Probly in a couple of weeks. I just think with his form on the right Fergie'd be stupid not to play him. And I don't think Fergie is stupid

    But i'm losing a lot on massively under achieving Silva and Mata. I had decent leads in some of my leagues and it has been pulled in and passed out in some. looking to get some decent points again (isnt everyone :rolleyes:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    Silva is not massively underachieving. His last three games have been 5, 6 and 2, can't expect him to score/assist every week.

    If he goes another week or two without scoring you would be safe to say he's lost form, but if you are set on getting rid then now could be the right time, his value is starting to drop and they have a tough away fixture next week against Chelsea.

    okay maybe a bit extreme there :D but his average for the last 6 games is three points.
    I have been tempted to get rid of him for a while, but he is has the potential to score massively on any given week.
    Mata is probably going to be more inconsistent


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭SpaceCowb0y


    I need to get rid of either Silva or Bale to allow for new signings, who do i give the bullet to?


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


    Bale and Silva to Young and Gerrard leaves me with 0.0m in the bank.

    It's looks so wrong but feels soooooo right lol.

    Nah...the fact is, we do not know who SAF sees as his 2 wingers. To add to the confusion, Wellbeck was superb vs WBA.

    I like the look of Gerrard. He was hungry last night and I thought the team they put out was exactly the team they need to play every week. Gerrard and Suarez working off the mayhem Carroll was causing.

    I really do think it's time to ship Silva. He's tired looking, his ankle is troubling him and City are patchy at best. There's a sliver of belief back at Chelsea so I think that game could be close on Wednesday night.

    I would like to sell Bale as he's being played in a position that doesn't suit and Spurs are capitulating.

    Th question is...have I the balls to cut 2 players that are the staple of everyone else in my money league?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    Lampard and Gerrard could very well prove shrewd differentials over the remaining weeks. Tevez could stick his greasy head back into play too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭Jax Teller


    I think you're all Mad getting Young in , Valencia is back in squad for tomorrow's game and hopefully should be ok for Wolves after that .

    Too great a chance of Rotation for me

    You can't include the week he didn't play though, you would have subbed someone in and gotten points so this is irrelevant. So if you actually take his last 6 games he's scored an average of 4 per game. Over the last 8 games his average it's just over 5 points per game.

    A decent return but he's definitely on a downward slope. I'll be giving him another week or two then reassessing.

    Young plays left wing. Valencia plays right wing.

    Yes I know that but Nani is also there to be considered .
