Got Negredo for Kun a few days ago, should be able to get Aguero back no probs even with a profit hopefully

Zab is gona be a pain for some people and Terry is wearing thin on my patience

Ward and Negredo in this week for me... Terry will probably make way to upgrade JWP to Walcott next week

Captain Suarez again this week, job done!

Terry is a pain in the hole alright but he is still the best goalscoring defender in the league, he often scores in the big games where you wouldn't expect clean sheet points so it's very hard to ever leave him on the bench, at least he didn't play last night so there's a good chance he'll play all through Christmas. If I had the option i'd sell him on but I'm never too bothered about having him in the team for those reasons

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

Ok, you'll have to substitute Kevin for Swiper in this

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.

Apparently Coutinho had 5 or 6 crosses in that game and none of them found their man. He is an attacking player though and has goals in him. Hopefully he'll show this against Cardiff!

:pac:

Don't worry I'm doing my best to get rid of him but it's proving difficult. I left him on my bench last week which resulted in being knocked out of the FSA Cup precisely for that reason. Dedication to the cause right there

I spotted that alright, I didn't know what to say at the time... I still don't know whether to abuse, laugh or thank you for it

So do you guys reckon that taking a -4 hit for Dawson for Kolarov will be worth it?

no bad move IMO. No guarantee of kolarov starting and spurs have 3 nice fixtures between now and the new year. I'd be surprised if either kolarov or clichy filled in at rb.

-=al=- · 18-12-2013 05:04PM

My first thought was Kolorov for the RB role but people are talking about milner filling in there

I was all for selling Dawson but their fixtures ain't to bad and the church is back this week or soon atleast

MR NINE · 18-12-2013 05:30PM

Took my first points hit of the season, and it may come as no surprise that I was drunk at the time.

I had to do something as I had Aguero, Zabaleta, Clyne, Brady, Harper and Terry all on the chopping block for one reason or another.

I also inexplicably have Chris Brunt in my team.

Axed Aguero and Clyne, brought in Coleman and Lukaku.

AdpRo · 18-12-2013 05:59PM

8 pt hit taken:

Terry out Ward in
Kun out Negredo in
Morrision out YaYa in

Team this week:

Pants
Ward Chico Distin
Hazard Ozil Ramsey YaYa
Negredo Suarez (C) Lukaka

Davis El Ahmadi Kos Chester

Bolded players are next in the firing line, I really need to sort out my keeper situation as I wouldn't be at all suprised if I have no playing keeper this weekend.

Mr.Prodston · 18-12-2013 06:00PM

My current thought process has me taking a -4 hit which I'll do tonight after the league cup games.

Aguero -> Negredo
Howson -> Mirallas

I'd love to have Walcott in for the Chelsea game though but I'd be taking a -12 then which isn't really viable unless I ditched Ozil for -8.

Although it's a gamble in itself not to choose Lukaku an I haven't decided but it would seem I like to do things the hard way :pac:

Mr. Incognito · 18-12-2013 06:57PM

I've Zab and Augerio.

Won't be making a transfer and will save for two next week as don't fancy Fulham to roll over and can't see Rooney pulling in the points till he is playing out of midfield.

Have Lallana and Fer to come in anyway so happy enough with my bench. I think a LOT of people are going to be taking unnecessary hits this week.

Kerrydude1981 · 18-12-2013 08:02PM

Got Rooney in for Augero,

Zab injured now but going to bench for this week,

Now who to play Ward or Shaw?

Mr.Prodston · 18-12-2013 08:22PM

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Moyes says Wayne Rooney is injured...not rested :eek:

Could be mindgames or excuses but it may not either

zarquon · 18-12-2013 08:26PM

Yep Moyes confirms Rooney injury. Trigger happy transferees not waiting for midweek games to finish are punished again. In my defence, i've had rooney for weeks but it's ridiculous to bring him in so early this week in lieu of Aguero.

Alfred Borden · 18-12-2013 08:30PM

this is already turning into the worst gw ever

Dempsey · 18-12-2013 08:33PM

Typical!

Iused2likebusts · 18-12-2013 08:33PM

worst thing is moyes in his friday press conference will probably not give any info .

Scorpion Sting · 18-12-2013 08:36PM

Glad I didn't make any early transfers just to chase a few price rises. Anything can happen and usually does when you least expect it.

masti123 · 18-12-2013 08:39PM

jaysus i already took a -8 this week

Mr.Prodston · 18-12-2013 08:43PM

Anderson could be playing in the hole tonight...get those bandwagon wheels greased up boys.

The midweek game had nothing to do with it though? He wasn't injured at the weekend so tonight's game is totally irrelevant! I agree its always a risk bringing players in when they have a midweek game though.

High intensity training leading to a game can increase injury likelihood. Regardless of whether he plays or not, it's still not smart as anyone who transferred Zabaleta in this week has learnt

Mr.Prodston · 18-12-2013 08:55PM

I wouldn't actually be too worried just yet. We'll see what Moyes says after the game, Aguero out is still obviously my main priority anyway.

SlickRic · 18-12-2013 09:23PM

yeah, no panicking till Friday tbh.

also, I'm one of the early transferrers.

if he's injured, I'll suck it up, keep him, and see what the story is next GW. I've players who can fill in for a week without taking a hit.

Same here just means il have to play both Ward and Shaw

No panic yet.

Benimar · 18-12-2013 09:48PM

If Rooney is out there isn't an obvious high value replacement so might use that thing some people are afraid to use...my bench!!

Alfred Borden · 18-12-2013 10:17PM

Who is everyone replacing Zab with? about to do it now!

I agree totally. If he's injured, he's injured. I still have 3 playing subs to slot in for this event.

KevIRL · 18-12-2013 10:18PM

Townsend the latest injury. Hamstring it seems
