January wildcard

Essentials I have are: Mert (will probably sell for Kos), Coleman (will probably sell for Baines), Hazard, Aguero and Suarez

I have Silva but do I really really need Yaya? Is he that vital to have instead of Silva?
I think Aguero, Yaya and Silva might be overkill

I live in fear of Yaya as he is destroying me in my league as i'm the only top contender without him. I have now rejigged my wildcard to give me Yaya, Silva, Hazard, Wilshere (with funds to move to Ramsey once back), Aguero, Suarez, Adeboyeur (with funds to move to sturridge if needed). Back lines of Boruc, Chester, Ward, Kos, Coleman. I'm undecided between aspilicueta, Evans or Kolorov for the last defender.

Most importantly is that Yaya is now in my team so i can forget about him! his 13 points this week was a real sucker punch.

When you move Wilshere to Ramsey and I move Ozil the same way our teams are going to be scarily similar.

During this wildcard season a lot of teams will be similiar. The double gameweeks will break things up but they are a bit away yet.

I don't think Yaya is a must have when Silva is available for almost a million cheaper.

Over the last 2 seasons Yaya has brought in 53 points more than Silva. That is significant enough.

Don't want to let wildcard go to waste, but nothing jumping out at me

Currently have

Hart (K Davis)

Zaba/Mert/Coleman/Terry (Faye)

Lallana/Yaya/Ozil (Assaidi/Canas)

Giroud/Lukaku/Suarez


Was thinking Hart to Scezny but already have 3 arsenal
Maybe Hart to Scezny and Giroud to ????



Any suggestions welcome...........

get in aguero for giroud or lukaku . That will involve dropping either zab or hart. Mert to kos will save you some money towards that. Dont think faye plays change him. Id also look at upgrading one of assaidi/canas.

Running through options with the wildcard and trying to figure out which is better Ade and Lallana or Eriksen and J-Rod + 1.8?

I guess the 1.8 gets me Hazard rather than Oscar but realising that there's that much in price between them is actually frightening.

I currently have Oscar-Lallana-Ade, but I think Hazard could be close to necessary. Have to funds to upgrade Oscar, but I'll give it a week or so yet...

It's worth a go. I don't think Silva justifies his price--certainly not with the next two game's he got. Yaya's a beast and far more of a must-have. Carzola could be an interesting differential. Course he could be useless too.

I fancy City to run amok against Spurs (again!) but not likely to be many goals in the Chelsea game

True it's just I saw my team and having 3 players playing in the same "tough" game off the back of the wildcard may not give me the boost I need although it's more the Palace game the following week for Arsenal that caught my eye :pac:

This is a potential WC team for me

I don't like it although it might look grand on paper
I don't like having both Yaya and Silva and I don't like the lack of Arsenal attacking cover. I don't want to sell Cabaye just yet. 0.2 left over though to potentially bring Ramsey in for him
Ozil is not an option though as it stands, although I won't rule him out completely. He'd be easy to downgrade to a fit again Ramsey
Ozil would need to be there at the expense of Yaya

Be wary of overloading on City players, couple of tricky fixtures upcoming and likely blank week in Feb when league cup final is on

Wildcard idea I'm toying with..

3 big defenders, 4 big mids, 2 big forwards + 1 off my bench to field a full 11 each week

^ Any thoughts lads?

Have Szczesny in goal at the moment so tempted to just keep him and bring in a soton defender instead.

I'd get rid of Silva and get in Wilshire/Ramsey, and upgrade Long to JRod, Wellbeck or Lukaku if funds allow. Or swap Erikson for Lallana and get Adebayor up front.

I'd downgrade Cazorla to Wilshere & get Suarez in
