Everton could get into the top4/5 this year, they have nice fixtures coming up starting tomorrow, ffscout has all 3 starting this week , i may swap one of them out for nolan in a few weeks

Its not a bad team, think the bad scoring from alot of players over the weekend has so many people going ''my team is shocking'' or ''big changes needed''. If you went back to 11.30 on saturday i bet you were confident of all them players scoring well.

Presuming you only have the 1 transfer i would just look at replacing Toure with Ben Arfa/ Fellaini/ Pienaar. Gervinho is also an option but you allready have Arsenal midfield cover in Cazorla.

Thats exactly it!! The last 2 gameweeks none of the big favourites scored well so scores have been quite low for most, but you would still have to fancy most of those players to pick up points again soon! Michu for Swansea has a couple of nice fixtures, Hazard at home to Norwich will be a decent game for him to prove his worth etc...

Only 1 transfer this week, should I keep it until next week.

I have the potentially big players in the team but 3 quiet gameweeks has only got myself an average score.

Is it best to wait until they return to form or get rid off 1 or 2 of them.

Wait for Michu and Hazard. Give them a week or two.
Get Jenkinson and Fletcher out in the coming gameweeks. Try to avoid the hits.

Why would you get rid of Fletcher?

I can't understand how he's managing to score goals with whatever limited chances he's getting. It's almost like he's feeding off scraps and still managing to feast somehow.
I know he's in some form but I don't think he'll be able to maintain it on a consistent basis. He's got ManC(A), Newcastle(H) & Stoke(A). Tricky fixtures followed by a few easier fixtures.

I wouldn't count on him for consistency in the coming gameweeks.

He's got practically 10 points per game. I'm less interested how he's managing to score goals, but that he is scoring them, and 12 bp from 12 in the process! legend!

Do you not think him feeding off scraps and managing to score from them limited chances is a good sign?

Fletcher scored 12 goals for a very bad Wolves team last season.

He scored 7 headed goals, the most headed goals by anyone in the Premier League last season.

He is now playing in a Sunderland team that has James McLean, Adam Johnson and Sebastian Larsson whipping crosses in on top of him.

He scored against Liverpool at Anfield, Newcastle, Man Utd at Old Trafford, Arsenal at The Emirates and Spurs at White Hart Lane last season so i think the tougher teams are not an issue with him.

I said the same in the Fletcher vs Berba thread. Cheaper players like Ba and Bent in previous seasons have shown that on form they can score against anyone.

And it's not like United or City have looked solid at the back either.

This is my bench - 0 in the bank.

Happy with the starting XI and have a transfer to use so how can I improve the bench?

Noble out for Sterling could be useful. Liverpool have a nice run and Noble hasn't looked like doing anything

Agreed.
And ..Gorks is particularly useless there. More like dead weight.
I'd recommend saving the transfer though.

I would keep Tevez as he will most likely start this weekend. Your team seems pretty good to me. I can see some goals and clean sheets there. If I were you I wouldn't make any transfers this week and save the 2 for after the international break

Thats not a bad team, definetly not useless. You need to get rid of Mikel and replace him with Sterling or even Gutrie. Then you will have to replace Rudd with a goalkeeper that plays. you will need 4.5 at least to do this. See how Hazard does tomorrow and if he performs poorly replace him with a cheaper midfielder to free up some funds. McCartney will probably also need to be replaced. Dont waste a transfer on taking out Tevez especially at the expense of Torres.

As said above saving this weeks transfer and having two for the next gameweek mite be the best way to go.

Looks a ~65 point gameweek for you, mate.

roryc · 08-10-2012 12:45PM

Have 2 free transfers this week and not sure whether I'll even make a transfer... got 67 last week and into the top 8,000 - don't really want to tinker with it just for the sake of it.

Not sure what Demel's injury is but he's still the best value in the <4.5m price range so no point subbing him out.

I could shift Tevez but City have a good run and he played a full GW. I guess I could do Tevez -> Ba...

Really want to fit Sterling into the team but not sure who to drop?

Captain choice is pot luck this week, it's anybody's guess who will get points. Any of my strike force or midfield is a good shout.

Thats almost my team... Bar I have Snodgrass for Nolan and few different defenders..

I also have 2 free transfers this week... Was thinking of getting rid of Tevez too! For Torres if possible...

Yeh that would be the obvious switch if I could afford it, 0.7 short though. Don't really want to change anywhere else in my team.

Starting to wonder if RVP is overpriced though, 13.2m tied up there. Could save 5m by downgrading to Ba, which would be much needed funds for the rest of the team.

Hopefully he gets a ban for yesterdays antics and we can all get rid!

roryc · 08-10-2012 02:55PM

Ah ok... I could always do Tevez/McAuley for Torres + 4.6m defender. Wilson or Wisdom seem to be my best options, although I'm not sure if Wisdom is a long term prospect?

I posted in the other thread about this. I have a pretty similar team to you and was planning on using my transfers to change Hazard/Tevez to Mata/Aguero.

Would you not be worried about getting rid of your last City representative with their nice run of fixtures?

Yes... coupled with the fact that Chelsea have Spurs, United and Liverpool in their next 4 games.

Decisions, decisions...

q2ice · 08-10-2012 07:00PM

Just a reminder, but the maximum free transfers is 2. If you currently have 2 and dont use one before the next gameweek you will still only have two for the gameweek after that. Not 3.

Just mentioning it because someone on another thread thought it was a 3 free transfer max.
