Are you planning on choosing Norwich as your topic on Mastermind?

Please don't make me feel old by asking what Mastermind is

I'm more of a Pointless man myself, the most obscure player who's featured for Norwich this season you ask?

My answer is Josh Murphy :pac:

Cabaye out?

If he gets 2 bonus today it will make his total avg. per game exactly 5 points.

Hard to justify getting rid of that when Silva avgs about 6.3 points per game.

No other mids you could transfer out?

No as i dont want any major selection headaches, Bannan is my cheap mid, bench fodder.
Hazard,Ozil,Ramsey are the other 3. Lack of City attacking cover does bother me so i may sit on Silva for a week.

If i get Krul,i will have alot of doubles in my team, not ideal but what can one do

If you can't afford Walcott otherwise I would do it. I have a bit of freedom with my transfers...

Anyone know much about Norwich's Whittaker? He's £3.9m and has started the last three games, with Norwich becoming tighter at the back only conceding 1 goal. He has picked up 2 yellow's though. Has he replaced someone specifically or just rotation?

I think he has taken russell martins RB spot. His place to lose now it seems.

He's replaced "Club Captain" Russell Martin at RB, whether it's permanent remains to be seen, especially over xmas. I'd be worrying every week to see if he'd start but that doesn't mean he won't.

Would be a handy option but you have to weigh it up with the potential risk of not playing.

Martin has been carrying an ankle knock he'll be back for the next game. I wouldn't be so sure who's first choice at the minute.

Sessegnon out

Cabaye in

Rooney at 19% ownership only, bit off a slight differential fr me this week.

And after Liverpool City face Palace at home so City coverage will be essential.

I would go for the first one as well, although i have sold Terry there is good reason to keep him whereas Mignolet is a bloody disaster, got rid myself just there for Krul.

Sitting on a City move though as it means selling Cabaye and leaving me with a samey samey midfield of Hazard,Ozil,Ramsey and City mid.

Unless of course i sell Hazard.....

Terry will be out on Stephens Day. That'll free up the cash for me to change Harper to Krul in the next GW. Then I'll have the following:

Krul Mannone
Coleman Mertesacker Ward B. Turner Chester
Hazard Ozil Ramsey Silva Morrisson
Rooney Suarez Lukaku

Edit: transfer now done. First hit since GW7 but it was necessary.

Are you not afraid that progress will stagnate if you end up with a samey samey team?
Captain choice could dictate progress each week.

If i sell Distin and Hazard for Silva/Yaya and Arsenal defender in time for the Palace game i will end up like this

Krul Davis
Gunner Coleman B.Turner Vlaar Olsson
Silva/Yaya Ozil Ramsey Cabaye Bannan
Rooney Lukaku Suarez

Like you i am left with room to sell Ozil for Walcott if needs be and room to upgrade Cabaye with around 9.0 after his sale.

Team will look very samey samey though which will be a massive problem after the Jan WC

Is there any point in taking a 4 point hit to get Negredo in for Lukaku?

:eek:

What? Why? Absolutely not!

I don't see having the same players as others as a problem. Different teams will always have their little quirks. For example, others might have Remy instead of Lukaku or Yaya instead of Silva. Alot of people don't seem to have Ozil anymore.

Also, there will always be injuries and suspensions to deal with.

My team value is a huge positive as well. Others couldn't afford the team I have. I could actually keep Terry and go for Marshall instead of Krul once I transfer Morrison out for some 4.4.

Team value is 110.7 million. I've at least 5 players going up tonight so will be over 111 million.

Sorry I didn't mean anything untowards, it'd just be very risky swapping him out considering Lukaku's run of games and the fact he's been picking up points while not actually scoring goals. He's capable of a hat-trick at any time.

I brought him in this week because of the fear of not having him.

Sorry. I know you didn't mean anything. I'm on the phone and can't do multi quote so just said sound to your post. As in sound, thanks!!
I'm just so afraid of no City cover for Palace but I just thought there if Silva is suspended I'll just sell Walcott for Yaya for week. I need to have a proper look now to see what to do

Haha well my reply came across quite curt when I read it back :pac:

I have Silva myself so it's a problem I could end up facing myself, who knows really. I'd wait until the 27th to take the hit though when we have a better idea of who'll play. Liverpool may not fold too much.
