    Im thinking either Brown or Bardsley in for Koscienly. Any advice on who to pick? Not much difference between the two

    Sunderland have decent fixtures coming up and they seem to be keeping a few clean sheets

    Bardsley has far more potential for goals, although knowing him they could come at either end of the pitch.

    Yeah you're right there. I'll keep an eye on their prices over the week although I dont think they will change too soon

    Already contemplating a 12 point hit for next week pending Aguero injury news:

    Koscielny --> Ben Turner
    Ozil --> Walcott
    Sessegnon --> Silva
    Aguero --> Rooney

    Would give me a front 7 of

    Walcott Silva Ramsey Hazard
    Rooney Lukaku Suarez

    It's mightily tempting because if I don't do it this week, I won't be able to afford the inevitable Silva and Walcott price rises and they're two players I really want in my team for Christmas and probably the rest of the season.

    I can't close the gap in my money league.. 50 points behind. My team is:

    Howard Harper
    Terry Kos Santon Shaw Chester
    Yaya Ramsey Hazard Redmond Morrison
    Aguero Suarez Lukaka

    My money league rivals also have Howard, Aguero, Suarez, Lukaka, Yaya, Ramsey, Hazard and Morrison. I'm finding it really hard to differentiate.

    Thinking terry and Kos out.
    Looking at Walcott in for Ramsey and thinking of Rooney.
    Coleman is killing - they are cleaning up with him. Is he essential?
    Anyone see anything else?

    Steve Clarke sacked as WBA manager,wonder how that'll affect morale at the club?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,734 ✭✭✭zarquon


    Have enough to go Brady -> Walcott/Silva. Cannot decide between them both. Thoughts anyone?

    Walcott every day of the week, he will score more goals than Silva.

    Tempted to do an up grade of either Bannan or Bacuna to Shelvey. Would give me a midfeild of Nasri, Bannan/Bacuna, Hazard, Ramsey, and Shelvey.

    If Aguero is out for a while I can see an awful lot of people havering Suarez, Aguero and Rooney up front for Xmas. I'd hoped having Aguero, Suarez and Rooney would be a bit of a combined differential for me, but now I'd have to look back to Lukaku myself.

    Problem is Aguero SP for me is 11.8 so unless he drops like hell it would be tight going to buy him back for up to 0.7 extra...

    Yeah I'd worked hard rejigging my team get that trio up top. Did not switch rooney to lukaku last week cos of a one week ban . started to downgrade defence and upgrade midfield instead. It was all going so well......so basically tomorrow could define my season. I've slowly got back into contention. Noone really has Rooney. I've him captained. Everyone will have him next week ......GO MAD (still hate him though ) :-P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60 ✭✭Gunslinger99


    I think a lot of people, myself included will be in that boat. Would hope to find an differential to Lukaku , any ideasv?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    If Aguero is out for a month or so it could really knock his run of golden form out of its stride. Could take him a good while to get back to the sort of essential points every week FPL must have he was this morning.....

    Negredo ..........or Berbatov :D

    Yeah, I don't trust him. The other option would be to get Walcott as a sort of third striker cheaper real third striker and try to get 4 other top mids from the likes of like silva, hazard, Ramsey, Yaya, with the likes of paulinho, Mirallas Fer as no 5 and play 352


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,350 ✭✭✭G1032


    Sergio Aguero ‏@aguerosergiokun 57m
    Thanks for all the support. I’ll get checked to determine the severity of the injury but don’t think I’ll waver.

    Sergio Aguero ‏@aguerosergiokun 57m
    My regret is not to be able to help my team-mates inside the field but until I’m better I’ll support them from the sidelines!

    I've pulled the trigger.

    Aguero -> Chamakh :):)

    The 7 odd million has been invested wisely I feel. I've brought in Silva &
    Walcott.

    Been floating around 380k for a few weeks now, I've shat and gotten off the pot ;)

    In midfield I trust, I'll be going 3-5-2

    Ozil Oscar Walcott Silva Paulinho
    Suarez Lukaka

    As a United fan, I'm in an awful position of hoping Rooney doesn't go wild.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    I don't see why people don't trust Lukaku... in the last 5 games he's got 34 points, pretty consistent if you ask me.

    Not too often you put your shirt on him as a captain choice.

    Today was his third jammy assist in a row. That can't continue forever.

    Plus Everton are scoring freely in some matches like today yet he's not exactly pulling in large scores.

    4 team goals today and just an assist to his name. 4 team goals two weeks ago against Stoke and just a goal to his name.

    I'd like to think these jammy assists are just tiding him by while he experiences an uncharacteristic goal drought. You'd expect that both the crazy assists and the drought will stop sooner rather than later.

    The only reason I didn't get rid of Terry this week was they played Crystal Palace at home. And it was also the reason Shawcross (9 points) landed on bench as the first defender (with Mert behind him with 5)...
    That's it. Terry out - Zabaleta in.
    Zabaleta was excellent tonight, even if they conceded 3.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,231 ✭✭✭BNMC


    Done Aguero to Lukaku, he's going up tonight so had to act quick. Will be getting in Rooney for that waster Remy after tomorrow's game then possibly Ivanovic out for Mert. All for a -8.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,668 ✭✭✭skippy15


    Dam Aguero- was perfectly set up.

    Might go for a small hit to a crazy heavy top 5- (just pity would be 3 arsenal)
    Hazard Ramsay Ozil Silva Walcott
    Suarez Rooney


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    Fck it, one piece of advice I recall reading somewhere when researching this whole FPL carry on was not to go for players solely because they were differentials.

    Much as I'd like to step out from the crowd and come up with a genius alternative to Lukaku to replace Aguero when you look at his fixtures, Evertons form and the fact that if he does hit a hat trick you'd be left well behind by almost 1m people I don't see much choice.

    Looks like Aguero going to be out a while from the early indications. May do Aguero to Lukaku and Brady to Walcott and forget about it.

    Normally you'd hold off on Walcott when he has Chelsea next but their defence is so bad he could fill his boots in that one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    If I decide on Mirallas in midfield I may look for a differential up front, add a bit of extra spice and all things nice for the festive period. Figuring out who won't be a lump of coal could be a different matter altogether :pac:

    On my watchlist are Soldado, Benteke, Odemwingie are but a few. I won't rush anything this week despite potential for a few hits. Tomorrow and the league cup need to play out first


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,160 ✭✭✭the whole year inn


    Is any one not thinking about Dzeko,he can score goals and will get the start now,a lot cheaper than aguero, thinking him and Silva in for me.

    Are you saying you don't have Mirallas yet, you've been touting him for a few weeks. I'm gutted I got rid of him a couple of weeks ago, I just felt that Delefou was going to half his gametime, now I'm going to have to bring him back in although I'm also considering Pienaar as a slightly cheaper option with quite similar potential.

    City have three top strikers to rotate. Jovetic has barely even featured so he'll get some games now. He cost 22 million so has to be given his chance.

    Aguero for me was the one clearly ahead of the other three.
