Is Barkley likely to start with the transfer speculation?

Also looking for a definite starters for 5.1M (or less) if anyone has suggestions

Redmond, Mutch and Januzaj are the best value at that price IMO. Definite starters,, I dunno, but they'll earn more points for the 7 in 10 games they play, than anyone else on that list would earn in 10.

Swap a s*it sub for a not so s*it one? I think theres a good chance Rooney plays to be honest, I don't trust anything Moyes says.

To play mannone or mignolet this week guys?

roryc · 31-12-2013 08:46PM

Mignolet

I'm considering this change tomorrow morning also but any indication that Dzeko will start and I'll nip that idea in the bud.

Is Westwood due back shortly? FPL site has him down as returning Jan 1st? That might be worth considering for anyone with Mannone.

I'd be very surprised if he got back into the side barring injury/suspension. Carlisle in the cup next weekend is probably the best he can hope for, and young Jordan Pickford might even be favoured for that.

machiavellianme · 31-12-2013 10:55PM

Thanks Paully, is that just because Mannone is playing out of his skin?

Santi101 · 31-12-2013 10:56PM

Wouldnt be worried about Walcott, he's definitely gonna start.

Hoping for a nice, clean win with a CS.

I'd imagine so. Mannone has been arguably Sunderland's best player in the games I've seen.

He was colossal against Everton.

Mint Sauce · 31-12-2013 11:02PM

No injuries, no one dropping in price. Thats the first GW in a while that only involved one transfer. Bar the WC week, lets hope it continues.

Yeah its hard know if Dzeko will start but Negredo def will and its hard seeing them starting 2 up front away from home against a team that keeps the ball well like swansea. But Pod is no cert either but if i was him and didn't start tomorrow id be looking for a transfer in the transfer window.

Silva being out is a big thing in Dzeko's favour.

JokerD · 31-12-2013 11:36PM

My last remaining decision is to go 3-5-2 or 4-4-2.

I've got both Hazard and Oscar and reading around forums there's talk that at least one might not play.

Usually I prefer to play attackers over defenders and with a doubt over my third striker I'm considering 4 at the back. Defenders are Coleman, Mertesaker, Shaw, Toure and Ward.

Ward has been playing in midfield so if I play him then I'm effectively getting a midfielder in a defence position.

.1 short on that move myself. I reckon its a good move. I reckon dzeko is 50/50 to start. My big decision is whether to start oscar or dzeko?

Have we no fear of Podolski starting out wide though with Bendtner up front? I'm trying to talk myself out of making the transfer because it would be for a 4 point hit.

What about the Julio Cesar rumours in Jan? Any truth you reckon?

Bendtner is what influenced my decision. I did morrisson to sterling with my free transfer instead of dzeko to podolski. I think arsenal are going to give cardiff a hiding tomorrow though and am now debating a 4 pt hit of oscar to cazorla.Oscar and dzeko are probably both 50/50 to start and if I get in cazorla I'll just bench dzeko.

I'm thinking I should stay up really late so I don't wake up in time to change my team. The cautious sensible man in me says to leave it, but the excitable teenager always wants to make transfers every time I'm convinced someone is going to do well this week.

Ya. Pod well start out wide but that won't stop him scoring. He'll be in a mission for the rest of the season to get in the German starting line up for the World Cup

carraig2 · 01-01-2014 12:29AM

Ok lads, henderson or Sterling

Sterling seems to be the form player but Henderson ahead on goals, assists, bonus points etc.
Going round a bit that he got a knock but FFS reckons he will play.

Throwing it out here though.
Who would you pick?

I went for Sterling.

What do u think would be the better move - 2FT:
Gabbidon/Sterling in for Santon/Morrison or
Kos/Gab in for Santon/Shaw

So Morrison -> Sterling or Shaw -> Kos is the question?

If you don't have Arsenal defensive cover already I'd say Kosc .....

Yeah basically.. Thanks. Yep, I've no defensive arsenal cover..

Another 4 point hit for me. Hazard in for Oscar and Ward in for Chico. Both long term options for me, I feel Hazard will be there or thereabouts for top midfield points scorers and is a season keeper and Ward is one of the best sub 4.5m defenders in the league. Oscar just hasn't done enough for me, too many cameo appearances and seems to be playing second fiddle to Haz. Chico has horrible fixtures coming up so I wanted rid of him fast.
