Not playing the wildcard until after this gameweek but what to you guys think of this?
Light in midfield but still have Walcott and Silva
Defenders + Goalie cover Liverpool, Arsenal, United, Everton and Chelsea
Strong attack, albeit without RVP

Good team, I just can't hit the 'make transfers' button on City strikers at the minute as I just don't know if Pellegrini will be a rotator.

Ramsey really in great form at the moment. No guarantee that Dzeko going to keep his place. I don't really know anything about Paulinho.

All in all I like the look of the second choice but there is no way I'd have both Santi and Walcott. Can you get Silva in instead of one of them?

Yeah I can get Silva, my dilemma is I can't just follow through at the minute with my strikers, want a City striker in there but too early to guess Pelegrini's intentions.

Team as it stands for this weekend is 4-5-1

Mignolet
Collins, Enrique, Vidic, Zaba, Coleman
Santi, Theo, Silva, Nolan
Aguero

Very tempted to swap Paulinho for Nolan

I am trying to convince myself that playing Santi and Theo isn't madness.
Podolski being injured is helping me view Walcott as basically being a FW.

I was looking at Santi and Theo myself. Too many options, head might explode

a 4-2-2-2 is a possible formation to accommodate them all by playing the following 4 up front.

Aguero - Silva

Dzeko - Negredo

I reckon Aguero could be deployed a bit deeper in the future. When Jovetic comes in that changes things again though..

Reading this and all I could think of was this :pac:



There really are too many options to choose from and it can only get worse before the window closes. I don't recall a time when there was so many rotation options opening up.

Not even just Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd and even Liverpool when Suarez comes back. Even old reliables of last year Berb and Lambert have competition in Bent and Osvaldo. Norwich have the Wolf, Hooper and now Elmander. Everton has no clear option. Even Benteke will see some goals be shared with Weimann and Gabby.

Who knows who or what Spurs and Arsenal will bring in during these final days. I wish the window closed last week because all of this planning could be futile in a few days time.

Right, I think I've decided on a side,

---

DeGea----Daniels

---

Coleman---Zabaleta---Shaw----Ward---Toure
Walcott--Ramsey--Sinclair--Barkley--Paulinho
----Benteke--- RVP---Sturridge

The midfield has a very short term feel to it. Ramsey and Barkley could easily lose their places. Sinclair hasn't played for a year, I'd be surprised if he was starting every week. If someone like Eriksen arrives at Spurs, Paulinho's role could change.

Defence and up front is fine. Midfield is weak though.

Looks to me like your whole team has been sacrificed to accomadate RVP.
Two city mids. Overkill here. One of those is enough, I'd leave Silva in
Defense is quite weak imo considering all the bonus points defenders are hovering up.
Great attack, but again, at what price??

Thanks for the input.
Would you make any suggestions on how to improve ?

Going to hold tough with my WC for another week, but was just messing around, what do people think

GK
Jääskeläinen
Boruc

DEF
Vidic
Vertonghen
Zabaleta
Turner
Ivanovic

MID
Brady
Cazorla
Silva
Jedinak
Ward-Prowse

FW
Weimann
Aguero
Soldado

I reckon Toure will be out for a month at least, swap him out for Dawson. I like the Ramsey pick.

Thinking of taking Toure out, getting in Walker due to his attacking style.

DeGea Daniels
Walker Zabaleta Coleman Ward Shaw
Walcott Ramsey Barkley Sinclair Paulinho
RVP Sturridge Dzeko

(If Dzeko is to be the subject of rotation then I've 0.8m in the bank so can alternate him with good options)

DeGea Daniels
Walker Zabaleta Coleman Ward Shaw
Walcott Silva Paulinho Barkley Sinclair
Aguero Sturridge Lambert

(Taking out RVP, frees up funds so I can afford a more expensive midfielder, even though I think Ramsey is great value, just sticking Silva there to show an alternative and he scores well too)

Will go for one of these, haven't decided yet. I need a push. Ha. Silva obviously scored well in previous years but I've a good feeling about Ramsey too. Think all the strikers could score bags of goals but I've rotation fear.

I mean what players to bring in. If I got rid of yaya would free up some cash for defense

You could improve your defense ya. A lot of bonus points are being given to central defenders who keep a clean sheet.
RVP really limits what you can do with your team imo. But that's just my opinion and there are plenty of FF players who will play RVP
I won't tell anyone to sell him though. Very much a personal choice

I think Dawson is under severe pressure to keep his place at Spurs, even before they get Chiriches, Kaboul will be battling hard for that place alongside Verthongen, I wouldn't go there at the moment.

coleman lescott whittaker, (chester) (ward)

Walcott Lampard Nolan Brady (4.5m mid)

RVP, Benteke, Augero

It is top heavy and thus my mid and defenders are weak. I'm happy with Lescott and Coleman. Lampard looks a certainty with Jose back and the signing of William will only eat into Hazards game time imo.

Opinions?

Lampard is likely to play quite often but a certainty? I wouldn't think so, if he is first choice he'll play champs league, he's 35 now and won't play two games a week too often, Mourinho has options.
Lescott is a big worry also,
Top notch strike force!

I did say looks a certainty the problem with Chelsea's mids is they have too many, add in William and it will be impossible to pick there attacking 3 midfielders, i would like to try oscar but he will no doubt be roated also, i don't want to be left without Chelsea coverage, I see them as favs for the league but it is impossible to find a bargain way into their team, i am going to chance Lampard for now. Lescott will get a chance to nail down a spot in the City defence, with natasic already out and Kompany out for the next month or so he has little competition imo. Would love to go with Zab but i can't find the extra .5
