Pretty happy with my team tbh. No transfers made yet, will wait until after the internationals but might even bank the transfer. The only player I would look at getting rid of is Brady, but if he will be back for GW 10 (Sunderland at home) I'll hold on to him and just leave him on the bench for a bit.
I don't mind playing Morrison at home to City, they've been leaking goals lately and he could easily be involved in something. There's no obvious choice that would be likely to get a decent score other than Ramsey. His price is climbing slowly but should hold off until next week. I would just end up getting Brady back anyway, and I don't like the idea of having 2 Arsenal midfielders, as shown last week when they got 3 points between them. And with Giroud on top with another 2 pointer, people who overspent on Arsenal got punished last week.
I have £1.9m in the bank, can't see any other transfer I could make. Banking the transfer seems the most likely option. I have 8/11 playing at home, could be a very good score.

I'm not inculding your image, this is my team
Very similar teams.
On Brady, I jumped on board Januzaj primarily for price rises but I'll see what game time he gets over the next few GW's.
He looked absolutely wrecked coming off against Sunderland, I don't know if there is 90mins in him at this stage. A bit of a heart over head decision as I'm a Utd supporter too.
I have my sights on Eriksen -> Walcott over the next few GW's, losing a bit of patience with Eriksen but still think he can come good.
If he ,doesn't that would leave me with 2 arsenal midfielders, I think I can handle that, I am justifying it by counting Walcott as basically being a Forward.
Nothing set in stone yet though, but with 1.6mill in the bank I can change Eriksen for most midfielders so I'll be keeping my mind open.
Overall I'm happy with the team, the only other area I might consider is replacing Mig and bringing in Johnson as I think he's going to do well with their 3-5-2.

Looks good, it does seem like a bit of a 'flavour of the month' team. Would be very worried about your MF.
Eriksen has had three poor games since his debut, Januzaj is a big gamble as he's highly unlikely to nail down a spot, Moses is another who hasn't performed and may not even keep his place when Coutinho returns, and despite current form Amalfitano will not score high on a regular basis. He has 2 goals in 4 games so far this season. In his previous 2 seasons (68 games) he managed to bag just 3 goals. Not exactly prolific.
I would agree with your reasoning above for getting Januzaj, and hopefully Eriksen comes good. If not, you may end up relying on Ozil if you want any returns from MF.
It is a bit "flavour of the month" in midfield in terms of AJ and Amalfitano... but cough... Terry & Morrison
Moses and Eriksen unfortunately are far from in flavour though, the opposite in my eyes.
But you're right, midfield is a concern.
I think it has potential to be good, but a few worrying signs.
Eriksen as i mentioned earlier is definitely under review and he could be changed very soon. Moses is also under review.
On Moses, I think he has to potential to score big, but on the contrary, he's just as likely to lose his place. I think I'm going to stick with him and hope that he starts performing and thus avoid that drop.
With the other two, I'm happy to make a bit of money on Januzaj and offload him quickly if needed.
I see Amalfitano as a long term keeper (he'd be decent in goal) that will get the odd run out when fixtures or form dictate. He is "flavour of the month" but from what I've seen, I think he'll be decent over the long term, he'll be drafted into the team depending on fixtures, I can't see him starting in my team most weeks.0 -

Unsure what you mean here, is this a little dig at me!?
I've had Terry and Morrison since Day 1, they have come good as expected. Hardly flavour of the month! I was a bit wary of Morrison as I didn't know much about him and a guy in my work who used to work for West Ham (and is a big fan) seemed to think he wouldn't get regular gametime. And this proved correct as he didn't nail down a spot straight away, but his potential is clear and he seems to have solifified his place now. I've taken a £0.1 loss on him but held on to him even through my wildcard. Didn't have enough faith to start him last week though did I... 10 points laughing at me from Spot 1 on my bench
As for Terry, I had a month hiatus from the forum for being an idiot but I would be surprised if you didn't see any of my posts pre-season about how he was the best value defender out there (possibly best value points scorer in the game).
Hardly think our situations are comparable!
Back to your team, if you don;t see Amalfitano starting most weeks, and Januzaj and Moses could easily lose their places... do you plan on playing a 5-2-3 formation? Too many risks in MF imo0 -

No it wasn't a dig, just a joke
How we got there isn't comparable, but we both have two "Flavours".
I had never visited this forum until GW1 (maybe a day or two before it kicked off).
So I missed your pre season insights. Even if I was here, I don't know if I'd have had the hindsight to single out your posts for special note and track your thoughts on players just so I would have that information at hand for this very moment ( Said jokingly)
Your insight has been proven correct over the last month, that doesn't mean they aren't "Flavours of the month".
Terry is solid, but I had reservations about how much he would be played before the season and at this stage, I would prefer to keep the 1 mill it would take to do Coleman -> Terry for my midfield changes.
Morrison is a great player who I followed through the youth teams at United, an exceptional player but the fact that West Ham have done little (up until the Tot win) to inspire confidence scoring in just 2 out of 6 games at that point has put me off.
That and the fact that he is an absolute basket case, who could easily see him out of football and selling chips in the stand by the time you play City on the 19th.Back to your team, if you don;t see Amalfitano starting most weeks, and Januzaj and Moses could easily lose their places... do you plan on playing a 5-2-3 formation? Too many risks in MF imo
I see Amalfitano starting each week for West Brom, I just don't see me picking him each week.
He's a decent low cost player to have to hand to bring in from time to time. Admittedly I hadn't a clue who he was until a month ago, but I've seen enough of him to show that he'll be a decent player to have.
I don't expect him to continue bringing in the points he has been of late (if so, I'd be making sure he was in my starting 11)
I don't plan on playing 5-2-3, although I wouldn't right it off if I thought it suited a particular GW.
If Januzaj and Moses lose their place then I'll be doing a little thing called a transfer
Even though there is some doubt over them, I don't think I'll ever be in the position to only have 2 viable midfield options.
Here, what do you make of the following transfers
Coleman -> Terry
Janu -> Barkley
Eriksen -> Michu
Moses -> Morrison
Maybe a bit too much discussion over two very similar teams.
All said I good humour0 -

This is how I'm lining up for GW7
Starting to wonder why I thought Lukaku was a good idea.. Took a -4 hit to bring him and Brady in for Benteke (inj) and Ward-Prowse
Plans for the coming weeks:
- Get rid of Koscielny. 1 CS so far just isn't worth 5.4. Looking at Clyne which will save me 1.0 and Southampton have been impressive so far.
- With the money saved from that bring back Bentekkers
- Swap out Vidic for Rafael if I have a spare transfer some week
Why arent you starting Natascic?0 -
Happy enough with my team this week. Brady and Ozil are doubts but I think they'll either start or not play at all. Unsure whether to bank my transfer or upgrade Turner. My options are Mertesacker or Davies. The former has two good fixtures coming up but then faces Liverpool and United, and Arsenal have only kept one clean sheet all season. The latter is 50/50 to play, and Swans have been anything but tight at the back this season, especially at home. Williams is out and Vorm is also a doubt so they may be playing with an even weaker back line.
I could hold off and bank the transfer, but if both Ozil and Brady are out I'll be forced to play Morrison (which I don't mind) and Fonte/Turner (which I do). Having Mertesacker would counteract this. Think I'll have to make a call on it tomorrow morning.

A bit late on that one SlumDuck, that was posted before the last gameweek.
Brady isn't flagged as doubtful or injured, note the players opponents....and the fact that he says his team lineup for GW7 0 -
