I don't think I'm going to make any changes this week. I was tempted to do Aguero to Suarez but I think I'll leave it as I want to make sure I get out a full 11 next week. My main concern is who to play at the back between Zabaleta (away to Southampton), Azpilicueta (home to Wigan) and Dawson (home to Newcastle).0 -

Over the next two weeks I'm looking to bring in De Gea and Baines for Begovic and Davies. I want to get prepared for the DGW's coming up. Will leave me with £1m in the bank. If I need cash to bring in Rooney/RVP I'll probably downgrade Mata over my defence.

Pretty much my exact team. Rafael is the only difference from my normal starting 11.
I have Lambert too.0 -
I'm thinking of using my WC in GW33. This is what I've come up with (First draft!). That will leave me with 9 DGW players for GW33 and I will have enough in the bank to do do Cazorla-> Bale the following week (GW34) which would initially leave me with 6 DGW players for GW36.
Do you reckon this is a bit of overkill on the DGW players? At this point in the season I think that if you have a WC left, you should go all out.
I'd prefer to have Vidic over Smalling so I could downgrade Baines/Fellaini to cheaper option. Also I'll have to see if Robles will keep his place over Al Habsi.0 -

Lads need a bit of help re-shaping the side for the next couple of games, dont have much coverage for the DGW but dont wanna make rash decisions either.
* I'm thinking bench Bale for now to save a transfer, I had got him out around early Jan and was too slow getting him back so had to pay alot for him. Though obviously Bale has more than repaid with his displays.
* Davies to Sagna or Mertesacker(Sagna cheaper at least)
* Next week.... Sissoko to Fellaini
* Not against a -4 hit when a DGW is in order?
* Going forward I'm thinking of Mata
> Hazard, think he can at least match the Spaniard in the run-in.
* I have no United players after ditching RVP and Rafael a good while back. That probably will hurt me.
Dont wanna change my strikeforce right now tbh, even though Berba is tempting with a DGW....I get the feeling I just have to accept that I missed Berba's purple streak and I like Lambert and Benteke's next few games.

Have you not made transfers/played the game with a few weeks or something?Copper_pipe wrote: »Would appreciate an opinion here lads, especially what to do with the free transfers.
You are seriously over relying on Stoke and Swansea which is not a good thing with Stokes form and Swanseas fixtures and blank gameweek on the way.
I would say Begovic to DeGea and Shawcross to Sagna which would be setting you up nicely for next week as they both have a double gameweek but Brgovic and Shawcross have on paper good fixtures this week.
How about Marveaux to Townsend and Davies to Turner (i know they play each other but Norwich have better fixtures in the long run).
If you could get Fellaini in for De Guzman too for next gameweek as he will be back from his suspension and has a double gameweek.
Downgrading Samba after this weekend would free up some funds for this.
Keep an eye on Bale injury news to see how serious it is also.
Bit of work needed really and maybe 1 or 2 points hits.0 -
Ya you are right about Berba. He is very tempting especially with the double gameweek but i think the boat has sailed when it comes to him.

Cant believe people still have Begovic. I was nervous about getting rid of him mysely a few weeks ago as i had him since day 1 but i am delighted i got rid of him now as Stoke have only kept 1 clean sheet in the last 13 league games.
.5 extra for DeGea is a no brainer really. A Manchester United first choice for that kind of money and 6 clean sheets in a row. Keep Begovic for this weekend and then get DeGea in.
Davies to Sagna will set you up nicely for Arsenals double gameweek.
Got rid of Davies myself last week as Swansea have european football for next season secured and mite take the foot off the pedal. Swansea also have the toughest run-in on paper too.
Turner for Mariappa too as Norwich have good fixtures and have a much better chance of keeping a clean sheet than Reading.
Will have to wait for more news on Bale before any moves are made regarding him but if you got him in late and paid alot for him you are in alot better situation than those who got him in early as you could sell him and bring him back in again after a few gameweeks and not loose as much as those that got him early.0 -
Current team is below, after a 4 point hit. £2.8m in the bank.
6 DGW players, with Bale + Michu benched. I'm a bit screwed if any of my first 11 don't play as Harte will likely be no use, but I'm confident all will start. Currently debating a 4 point hit to bring in one more DGWer. If Walcott was confirmed fit it would be a no brainer to get Sissoko out, but until this is confirmed I can't justify making any move. Problem is I'm in Rome from tomorrow so likely won't have access to make changes after tonight...
I'm not willing to get rid of Suarez when he faces Reading and I'll lose £0.5m on the transfer, so realistically my only options are as follows:
Benteke
This lad is on cracking form, four goals in last four games and should have been more. Looks much more of a natural goalscorer than Lambert and bar United (A) next week his fixtures look pretty good. Villa are in real danger of going down this year and Benteke will be the difference. I can't see how I can get rid of him.
Lambert
He's on decent form, despite never really looking like a superstar striker. Has a great run of fixtures to end the season and although Southampton should be safe I don't think they'll take their foot off the pedal for the last 6 games. If I was to dump a striker for Berbatov or Giroud, it would have to be Lambert.
I don't think either of these are worth dumping at the moment, so I think I'll have to just face this GW with no DGW strikers. Nervous times! I could handle Berbatov/Giroud/Rooney and RVP scoring 8 or 9 points. Anything more will likely kill me. Onto my last and most likely option.
Sissoko
Has been massively under-performing since I got him, just one assist in 5 games and no clean sheet or bonus points, so lots of 2 pointers. He's dropped in price again this week so I've already left it a bit late, but I'm wary of moving to get Walcott in unless he's 100% confirmed to start against Norwich. News which is unlikely to come before Saturday. I have £9.2 to work with, and realistically it would have to be a DGWer, so the other options are:
Gervinho - on a great run of form but will he play both games, especially if Walcott plays a part?
Pienaar/Osman - both capable of a goal but do I want to be stuck with three Everton players? It would have to be a one week move, and they would need to score at least Sissoko + 8 to warrant it (4 for transfer in and 4 for transfer out.
Kagawa/Nani - if either were guaranteed to play both games they would be in in a heartbeat, but with Fergie's midfield rotation this year it's far too risky imo, and with my bench I couldn't afford to have a player not feature.
Nolan/Noble - either of these could actually be a worthwhile gamble, especially O'Neil at £4.3m. I've reverted to 3 up front for the end of the season so it makes sense to go back to having a cheap midfielder. This would mean it's actually a long term move as I would be changing to 4 strong midfielders + O'Neil on the bench for rest of the season. Anyone know why Nolan hasn't been playing the full 90, and missed a few games recently?
At the moment I'm probably 70% in favour of holding on to Sissoko and hoping he ups his game at home against a weak Sunderland side (in a big derby game). However if Walcott is confirmed fit I'll have to go with him. And if I feel like a gamble I could bring in O'Neil/Nolan. If Sissoko keeps up his form and gets another 2 pointer then I would just need 6 points (over two games) to make the move worthwhile. Anything over that is profit!
Have I missed any other options out? Duff and Arteta are not options IMO.0 -

Rory,
If someone asked be to name the best 6 players I could have in my team for the double, you have them. Walcott is the only one I'd also consider but he is a doubt.0
