your defence needs a tweak or 2.

Clyne and Gunter are nothing players this year IMO. Reading are not going to be the defensive force they were in the Championship.

Clyne may get forward for a Saints side that likes to attack, but you just won't get the CS points this year with him.

Zabaleta is a no-go now IMO. if you want to get into City's defence, you'll have to spend on Kompany or Hart.

Looking at my defence again after the talk of getting rid of Lescott. I agree it's too much money for a non-guaranteed starter.

My current defence is
Lescott - Gallas - Demel - Rafael - Clarke
Option 1: Ship Lescott and get Baines (0.8 in the bank)
Option 2: Downgrade Lescott to a 5.5 defender and upgrade Pienaar to Yaya.

I'd keep Pienaar. He was central to everything Everyon did Monday night. Got 2 assists and should have had 3.

You could change Lescott to Gibbs which would be a decent move IMO. Gibbs may see a price rise as well after last weekend.

SlickRic · 19-09-2012 01:30PM

Mancini hasn't decided on his best CB pair at all. that would be my worry.

there has been a LOT of rotation.

you're better off getting Baines. he's a defender who plays as a midfielder. or Gibbs. Arsenal will keep plenty of clean sheets this season.

roryc · 19-09-2012 01:37PM

I'd hold off on Arsenal defenders, they have City and Chelsea over their next two games.

I'd see Gibbs as a good transfer for the season. No point transferring someone in for two GWs only to replace them with Gibbs two weeks later. That's a waste of two transfers IMO.

Surprisingly, the Chelsea and Arsenal defences look the most solid but the Chelsea lads are generally a premium compared to Arsenal's. Plus you can't be sure who will play between Cahill/Luiz.

Nice squad, seems to be along the lines of what many here on boards are going with ATM. Personally id change Bale for either Cazorla or Yaya as Bale hasn't done anything of note so far. Also maybe change McCartney for Demel, i have him in my team and he didn't play last weekend so if he's not back in the squad this week ill be shipping him out. If your playing your WC theres no point in hanging onto a player whos a rotation risk!

You have 5 good mids and 3 good strikers. That's 8. You can only ever play a max of seven so, if I was you, I'd downgrade a mid or striker and upgrade a defender.

I plan rotate berba and pieenar with nolan, whoever is at home or better fixture plays

Pretty solid team, and similar to my own-
I have just shipped yaya for Cazorla- which seems ideal dont trust yaya to keep form, also ben arfa another option to follow

figueroa Baines mccauley- solid
Barnet?would prefere demel or another
I had hughes recently for home games- but had changed to naughton from spurs for few weeks looks good option

kagawa - toure

coloccini - baines or cole

swansea and michu in particular are way over rated, use the extra money to get a decent defender. everton have nice games coming up for a while now too so baines doesn't seem as expensive considering he takes frees.

I feel Yaya plays too deep and the only time he is allowed go forward is when City are 1 or 2 goals down. I feel Kagawa won't rack up the points till after christmas so I'll look at Fellani or Pienaar to replace him.

I won't be too quick on getting rid of Michu as he nice fixtures coming up which is the reason why I'm holding onto him.

In the past I've invested in pricey defenders and it just didn't work out for me as CSs are getting very rare in the PL these days. I'd rather stick with a cheap rotation defense to allow me spread my funds on my midfield and strikers.

roryc · 23-09-2012 11:12PM

I want to put Sterling in but unsure who to drop...

qwabercd · 23-09-2012 11:56PM

Activated my wildcard this week. Currently looking at:

Begovic Foster

Baines A.Cole Hughes Santon Demel

Toure Michu Hazard Kacaniklic Barfa

Tevez Ba Fletcher

That leaves 2.4m in the bank.

Thinking of opting for Sterling instead of Kaca (had Kaca pre wildcard). Very undecided though.

Also plan on bringing cazorla in for either hazard or Toure in a couple of GWs (never should've gotten rid of Cazorla).

Tempted by Kone for a bit of a differential.

Aguero for tevez is another possibility (I've had Tevez from the start).

Probably lacking Man United coverage but don't really fancy them atm. Kagawa I have at the moment, might keep him instead of Toure?

Any advice?!

Opinions and suggested formation for the upcoming gameweek?

dahat · 28-09-2012 01:23PM

0.9 in the bank and looking for advice for the coming weeks,selling either Tevez or RVP is looking likely......Any advice welcome!!

I would drop Tevez,all the signs are he wont start,risky but i think Liverpool will beat Norwich and as a punter they are a decent bet!!

S.M.B. · 28-09-2012 05:22PM

I think Sterling is just as likely to see the same amount of minutes as Tevez.

Could be a full 90, could be 15 minutes off the bench.

I'm looking at either him or Puncheon as my Noble replacement. Hopefully his young shoulders can take the pressure!
