Is switching to 3-5-2 a bad idea?

How come your not keeping Coleman or Toure? Two main players in FPL this year.

missed the boat on both of them. I prefer silva over yaya and cant justify spending 6.6 on coleman.

CSF · 02-01-2014 12:38AM

If I had to make the Wildcard with no price rises it would be the following

De Gea - Mannone
Flanagan - Koscielny - Nastasic - Celustka - Williamson
Silva - Walcott - Hazard - Januzaj - Colback
Suarez - Negredo - Rooney

Thankfully, with a good 10 or 11 days work I should be able to strengthen the weakest parts of that batch and probably change the complexion completely.

Yeah.

IsMiseMyself · 02-01-2014 01:09AM

Thinking something like this. But I'm wary of both Ade and Eriksen. I think Eriksen is the better bet of the two, but I need to free up money to swap Sterling out for him. (Or maybe Januzaj, not really decided.) Also won't double up on Sunderland backs either. Just forgot to sub Celuskta out.

Any thoughts jumping out at anyone?

Speroni McGregor

Zaba Coleman koscielny bardsley Chester

Theo hazard cabaye lallana Mutch

Lukaku adebayor Suarez

That's first draft of potential wildcard

Problems are no yaya and Rooney. What to do when aguero returns?

G1032 · 02-01-2014 02:10AM

Ah to hell with it. No WC tonight for me.

I want to keep Rooney for now. I want to keep Cabaye for now. I have Mert and Coleman and Szcz at the back.

I can't gain on the predicted 0.2 increase for Sagna because I have 3 Arsenal already. Can't gain 0.2 on a striker because I might still keep Lukaku.
I can't afford Yaya so can't get his 0.2 rise. I don't believe Skrtel will rise by 0.2

In short, I can't make any money from this WC. My FT will probably be Ridgewell out for a City defender and if his price doesn't drop I may keep the transfer. My sub goalie can wait for another time.

If there are FA Cup injuries then that may force my hand but I'll wait until then

Yeah ended up doing the same yesterday evening... I'll see today how the price rises are going and decide if I play the WC or not. I don't have many transfers to make but they are important as my room for manoeuvres cash wise is very small... I'm a bit in a "now or never" situation

.

- edit -

BTW. While I'm talking about WCing, I have a question for all Chelsea fans particularly: would Cahill or Cole be good alternatives to Terry?
Saving some cash is gonna be essential to build up my team so since Chelsea seems to recover some defensive strength I may try to keep some defensive cover from them but I'd love to cash on the £0.3m profit I made on Terry and downgrade him to one of his partner who plays week in week out. What was the story with A. Cole? Was he severely injured ? Saw that he missed 7 straight games...

No injury, just dropped.

Mr. Incognito · 02-01-2014 12:15PM

Wildcarded Yesterday

Already caught price rises on Ya Ya and Roderiquez

Team is now

____________/ Speroni/_____________

Terry Mert Coleman

Ya Ya Hazard Walcott Lallana

Roderiquez Suarez (c) Remy

Subs: Huddlestone Ward Whittaker.

Team Value 106.1 with 0.1 in the bank.

I cashed in on the rises from a number of players like Rooney and Ramsey who I got at 5.5 in week 2.

I still think Ya ya is donkey and may yet fire him out for Ozil when ozil comes back depending on fixtures.

TaytoCrisps · 02-01-2014 12:16PM

Playing my wildcard to sort out a few injuries to fringe players. Any other changes I could make that I've overlooked ?

SantryRed · 02-01-2014 12:48PM

If I raise 0.3m during the next 10 days, I can afford this team:

It'll be a bit difficult though, as Hazard goes up tonight, so I need to manoevre him in, but Sterling just missed going up last night, so I have to wait until he rises to get rid of him

EDIT: Wait, if Davis comes in at GK for 3.9m, I now only need 0.2, should be possible

If Sterling gos up tonight, as appears to be the case, I'm kind of thinking I might get another .2 out of him by the end of the offweek. Sound reasonable or from tomorrow should I be looking to get my .2 elsewhere?

Gazzinga is 3rd choice ,Davis 2 nd choice (was injured ) and is only 3.9

I'd say he probably won't go up another .2, Huddlestone if he doesn't go up tonight could be a good shout to go up .2, as he has very little ownership. I need Whittingham to go up another .1 and I can sell him at a .1m profit, but I'm not sure if he will rise by next week, so thinking of just getting rid now and bringing in Huddlestone for the .2m rise.

dahat · 02-01-2014 01:08PM

J Rod, Yaya, Terry, Ericksen, Mannone, Mcgregor and Sgna in

Silva,Ollson,Krul,Davis,Chester,Cabaye out....may have missed a few but thats it so far.

I don't really have massive room for maneouvre in my midfield. Walcott, Hazard and Toure are all players who I'm strongly considering if not decided on keeping for GW 21 so not going to touch them, Cabaye is my other punt that i need to go up another .1, Sterling will tonight, and I have a decision then whether to go for the other .2 or if I can see another potential riser, as I definitely amn't keeping Sterling for GW 21 and probably not Cabaye either

Considering leaving Rooney out. Lack of fitness, playing deeper and potentially missing games isn't appealing.

Inspector Coptoor · 02-01-2014 01:32PM

My team went up 0.4 overnight.
Excellent

Considering same myself but who to replace him to with that will get regular 90min slots?

Is a forward line of Suarez-J Rod- Lukaku enough to get regular points?

CSF · 02-01-2014 01:41PM

Cabaye is actually going down in NTI today, strongly considering shifting over without getting the second rise to Lallana as a result who is going up tonight and will be in a level position to Cabaye come tomorrow morning.

Mr.Prodston · 02-01-2014 02:31PM

I'm tempted to wildcard, even though I'd rather wait and see what unfolds over Jan. My team could do with a bit of restructuring and strengthening.

Toying around with things and something like this rather excites me:

I wouldn't count on Sterling being a regular when Sturridge returns. Even as a 5th mid you should have a 90min starter just in case a regular doesn't start. Maybe Redmond of Norwich, Mutch or Ravel Morrison? I reckon all 3 will get more minutes than Sterling post-January, especially if Liverpool sign Salah or someone similar.

Dont be at yourself · 02-01-2014 02:43PM

Assaidi looks a good option at 4.7. Forcing his way into the Stoke team, and scored 3 goals in the last 6 games.

Yeah I just have him there for now as he's still due to rise in value. Long term I'm looking at Mutch, Huddlestone or Nick Powell if gets a loan to a premier league club.

I have Ravel and I'm done with him, caused me all sorts of problems over xmas.

eriksen should get you a .2 he is at nearly 70% to a rise and 6k transfers in today. I moved cabaye out for him today had made .3 profit on him for his 3 gws.
