Gameweek 17 transfers

I had a choice of Zab or Terry to transfer out last week and went Zab and was regretting it.

Glad I did now. Hopefully his price will drop and he will be cheap later in the season.

Sorry, just saw this now. Mannone should stay first choice. As you say he has done nothing really wrong and our defence looks settled for the first time in ages. Mannone is better with the ball at his feet which suits Poyet's gameplan of playing out from the back, so I'd be quite surprised if Westwood came back in.

cheers for the reply, and busts for the reply too.

i'll go ahead so and bring in mannone 4.2 for lewis 4.0. will leave it til friday just incase anything more important crops up that needs my attention.

It'll be a 4 point hit but i'm hoping that by playing mannone at home to norwich instead of marshall away to liverpool I'll recoup the 4 points and will then have 2 keepers that rotate perfectly over xmas/new year.

For anyone else looking at their keeper situation, Marshall is 4.6 and Mannone 4.2

Here's what you can be playing for the next 14 gameweeks by going with the home keeper taking you up to the start of march.

Norwich (h)
Southampton (h)
Sunderland (h)
Villa (h)
West Ham (h)
Southampton (h)
Stoke (h)
Norwich (h)
Hull (h)
Villa (h)
Hull (h)
West Brom (h)
Fulham (h)
Palace (h)

of course i'm sure it won't work out as simple as that, westwood may throw a spanner in the works at some point but it should def get me through to the jan wildcard.

Could be a nervous 30 mins ET for Hazard owners :pac:

Kolarov bandwagon will gather pace, 5.3 and a massive goal threat.

I was thinking of Zabaleta earlier, definitely looking at Kolorov now

If Zab is looking at 3/4 weeks i will be getting Kolarov next week, he has the potential for alot of points over Xmas.

Same as, he'll be taking my FT slot next week to replace Zab if it's 3/4 weeks.
People should be able to handle an injury to a defender considering most are playing 7 players ahead of their defences.
Zab shouldn't be any risk of a fall. 80% to a rise at present.

Do you think he's nailed on to play the next few with Zab out? What other options do City have?

Richards,injured. Milner possibly but Clichy and Kolarov is my guess at FB

So unlucky this week, injuries to zab, aguero and kos and then had to get rid if terry

In those circumstances, I'd just have kept Terry. I can see Jose parking the bus next Monday night as they are away and he'll be happy with a draw.

Pellegrini reckons Aguero could be out for 8 weeks now!!
Dzeko now has to be considered as an option instead of Lukaku. He's about 2 million less than Lukaku.

Go big or go home,
Transfers in this week negredo, Walcott and Silva for a hit.leaves me a top 7
Ramsay hazard Silva Walcot
Rooney negredo Suarez.

I'm holding off on Walcott until next week, Coutinho has an easier fixture and might finally bag me some points! He'll be out for Walcott next week anyway. Currently have starting 11 of:

Howard
Mert Coleman Chester
Ramsey Hazard Nasri Coutinho
Rooney Lukaku Suarez

Those in bold are at home. An Everton clean sheet or goals from Nasri/Coutinho will likely see me move up the rankings. Rooney beating Negredo will help too.

I got in Walcott as I reckon he could destroy Chelsea the way their defence is playing....they wont cope with his pace. He scored 2 great long range goals against City but he got in behind them twice and had good chances saved/blocked.

I foresee more John Terry looking like he's in slow motion.

Coutinho is hanging on for another week here also, however at the risk of talking in clichés he seem to be the ultimate assist the assister player. Five goals last Sunday with only a clean sheet point to show was the pits. He did hit the crossbar with that shot into the ground, he really should have scored in the first minute and took up good positions a few times but the ball never reached him, his crossing was terrible though, particularly from set pieces. Walcott has far more potential for points but this weeks fixtures are very different, you wouldn't expect Coutinho to be absent from the attacking points too often when Liverpool score three or more goals.

My team is in rag order, far too much deadwood, now it looks like I won't be able to get Mirallas in next week either.


As an aside, who is better value at the moment for the next 5 or six weeks, Mirallas or Ramsey(at current prices)
