How so?

Distin is guaranteed to play.

Bruce is guaranteed to play at least for now but was also playing even before Chester was injured. Chester will be back in my team when he returns.

Baker has been one of the most consistent defenders in the AVL team since earning his place.

Azpil is somewhat of a risk but seems to be first choice at the moment.

Clyne was first choice before his injury, I see no reason why he wouldn't be now.

Agree with Busts on Clyne. Hasn't definitely got the place yet.

My reservation on Baker comes down to not rating Villa defensively.

Azpil is a calculated risk.

Bruce I'd be happy enough with and Distin bbut not for this week.

Not having a sub keeper who plays is also a bit of a risk which I decided against this morning.

Combined it's a lot of risks is all.

Bruce will have to fight McShane off, ye may laugh but it's true

Azpilicueta is in situ for the moment but there's quite a bit of risk attached
Baker has serious competition which wasn't noticeable when Vlaar was out

Clyne is second choice

This is basically what I've been hoping for since deciding to play the wildcard for this week.

Better?

Noone/Gnabry? Zaha is going to Cardiff for loan, so he could take Noone place on the field. Furthermore, Pardew has just said that he is not sure about Cabaye. 0,3 in a bank, could give a move for Ramsey for example.

G1032 · 27-01-2014 10:19PM

So this is what I'll probably go with tomorrow night

If either Silva or Cabaye or both don't start I can switch to this midfield

If they do start I'll just keep that 1.2m itb. It could come in very handy very soon........

Dobra wiechor Fenson.

Looks betting to me but my team is a bit mad!

I have Cabaye and holding to see what happens. Will keep for Norwich if hes not gone.

I'm keeping Gnabry to see what kind of Game time he get. Think it might surprise us as Wenger seems to be keen on him.

Another option is Myler of Hull.

Is Alex Bruce in danger of losing his place to McShane?

This is the lunacy of Fantasy Football in a nutshell :pac:

It's a question the most diehard Hull City Tigers fan wouldn't even worry about and why I love it

I'd say it's Bruce's to lose but the switch in formation would be the bigger worry.

College work done and dusted until Wednesday and the clock is ticking. T -22 hours before the Wildcard expires.

Go crazy? Don't mind if I do :pac:

My head is just fried with the WC.
For better or worse I can't wait for half 7 tomorrow evening and the deadline passes. What will be will be.

Worst thing ever. If my employer or my wife knew how much of my mental energy gone into it this week......

Apologies on this question but need clearing up. Have yet to use my wildcard all season but heard from a work colleague today that free January wildcard is only available to those who have only used wildcard earlier in season.

Appreciate help on this.

I will beat you with Adebayor!

Thanks a lot for help. Who is your choice for captain following gameweek? I bet it is RVP vs Cardiff ^^ I'm thinking about Mata/Hazard. When I see starting squads and Mata will be in first 11, I will choose him instead Hazard. Liverpool with his central mid problems has to shoot more goals than opponents, so Suarez could be good choice too. Tough decision..

Do usłyszenia!

Not true. Jan WC to be used in January. Other WC to be used any time you like

Mr.Prodston · 27-01-2014 11:40PM

I'm now trying to figure out how I can accommodate both Mata and Rooney. Last minute tinkering could really confuse me.

Mr.Prodston · 27-01-2014 11:55PM

Paddy Davitt ‏@paddyjdavitt 8h
#ncfc injury bulletin latest. Turner + Howson still 'weeks' away. No other concerns. Bennett back running

I guess I need to actually start planning for life without Mickey Turner until he makes a dramatic return for a DGW as captain

Lemlin · 27-01-2014 11:55PM

Wildcard team finalised now that Cabaye is gone:

Mannone Boruc
Mertesacker Coleman Terry Ward Bruce
Yaya Hazard Mata Lallana Noone
Aguero Suarez Ade

Plan originally was to keep Cabaye and 2.3 mil free for upgrades but now that Cabaye has left will take a chance on Mata.

Opinions?

i'd be interested to see how united line up before getting rooney back in, i think Rooney could be pushed a little wider, RVP up top, Januzaj left, Rooney right, with mata playing in the hole.
or else he could just play 2 up top and play mata wider.

very good looking team, you must have a lot of money?

I have a very similar team but could only afford januzaj as my 4th mid and have shaw where you have terry. rest is very similar.

Mr.Prodston · 28-01-2014 12:18AM

On a scale of 1-10 how much of the plot would I need to lose to consider this team if RVP were to start tomorrow? :pac:

Naturally I could certainly compromise with Rooney but holy hell there's some fire-power in that team and rather solid at the back

Now you're talkin Mr P. Some company on the RVP Shoot Em Up Express to Looneyville last....:D

FHFC · 28-01-2014 12:42AM

Adjusting to the Cabaye news this is my 2 to 3 week team before Santi becomes Silva and I get McGregor and Distin in for Sagna and Davis.

I'm 0.2 short of being able to put Puncheon in as 4th mid this week but just can't find it anywhere....

Open to other suggestion for 2 week midfield options other than Cazorla and Meyler/Noone...

Danger781 · 28-01-2014 01:10AM

Somebody put a post up here at one point on keepers that rotate well... Debating the merits of keeping one vs rotating two

This is a wee bit out of date but still good. http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/01/02/winter-wildcard-goalkeeper-pairings/

I've gone with Mannone and McGregor but looking at it Mannone and Speroni might be better...

Team value is up around 113 million.

Hey guys,

Any little advise would be appreciated.

It is really my 2 cheap players in midfield and forward I can't decide on but as they will both be subs to begin with, I am willing to leave them as they are until I see how other players go.

Team is:

Mannone,Adrian

Kolarov, Koscielny, Vlaar, Ward, Yoshida

Hazard, Mata, Lallana, Eriksen, Gnabry

Suarez, Aguero, Guidetti.

I have 1.1m in the bank. I can upgrade Gnabry over the next few weeks depending on who arrives into the league and plays well.

Guidetti is an attempt at a roughie, but I'll be keeping a close eye on K Jones.

Defence; I will keep Yoshida and can swap to someone else around the 4.0 mark eventually. I will start Koscielny & Kolarov and rotate the other 3.

Danger781 · 28-01-2014 01:58AM

How's this defensive line then?

I can't seem to find a keeper rotation that I like. On top of that the cost of rotating two keepers and getting Arsenal defensive coverage is too damn high.

Evans is a guaranteed starter. He has been United's best CB this season and definitely will not be dropped.

Vlaar is the core of Villas defence. Very decent home games on the way for him, and some fair away games too. Not many better options are 4.3 or less.

Yoshida looks set for a run in the Soton defence until Lovren returns. If rumors are to be believed it'll be 6 weeks before he is back. I'll worry about that when the time comes. Hopefully Chester will be back, or I could swap for Chambers if it turns out he is first choice RB.

Azpilicueta, as has been said on here numerous times, is a calculated risk. He seems be first choice at the moment but you can never know with Jose.

Brown has some very good home games coming up. Not sure I fancy Sunderlands defence though. Would prefer someone else. Might stick with Ward.

Edit: Or go with Ryan Bennett of Norwich. Only 3.9 and will be filling in for Turner who is out for a number of weeks..

Fizman · 28-01-2014 02:05AM

Have gone for:

.......................Cech

Baines..............Clyne..........Koscielny

Mata.......Yaya..........Lallana......Ramsey

Suarez...........Aguero........Sturridge

Davis, Mariappa, Bruce, Noone
