If you can't, considering your options and the fixtures this could well work for you. Just when you say you want VP for only one week, does this mean you'll sell him after the Fulham game ? Think despite the current look of United he's fixture proof. And anyway bar the blank in GW28 United have pretty favourable fixtures coming up! - edit - OK that was several questions :rolleyes: :pac:...

But with that said, the 4 point goalkeeper hit isn't because of the goalkeeper. It's to facilitate the RVP transfer while going with a transfer that I think could pay off the 4 point hit in the following weeks after. I'm conflicted, because I will only want Van Persie for one week. But I'm inclined to think that RVP could well bag a hattrick this weekend, and if he did it would be 34 points for me. Even if he was to score a goal and an assist that would likely to be 24 points which would pay me off nicely. This Fulham team are awful and have to play a midweek game tonight (hopefully with extra time too) Very interested to hear what others think about it when you consider that the other 2 transfers do strengthen my team also. Obviously if RVP scored just 1 goal or less I would have to consider the move a bit of a failure.

My midfield options are Lallana, Silva, Yaya and Hazard and I don't see myself wanting rid of them all season. I could do it with a 4 point hit by downgrading Koscielny but I prefer the idea of spending the 4 point extra, getting a Dzeko I want, and an Adrian that I want long-term. I've 2.7 in free funds btw. I would see myself switching back to Sturridge next week though yeah. Not that RVP isn't capable in any game, I would just want Sturridge and approx 4 million to use elsewhere. This is a 1 week punt that I wouldn't take if the 2 other transfers didn't also strengthen my team.

Neoulous wrote: » Ah Right. So. If I were you I would definitely not do it for a 1 week punt. Not worth the risk methink. In a way it's almost a 12 pts hit since you've a transfer already planned for the following week. So if any of your player get injured or suspended it kills your plan. If I was going for such a gamble I'd go for it mid to long term. United will have to improve anyway. They will fight back to try and qualify for Europe. After all despite their catastrophic season they're only 5 pts below Everton.

Mr. Guappa wrote: » I'm assuming Mata is cup-tied for Europe? If so it makes him even more appealing. I have him already, just weighing up whether a 4-point hit is worth it to get RVP in for Adebayor. RVP and Rooney are likely to be rested at some point in the league if they are both needed for Europe.

United a very much a mixed bag but Fulham are woeful. I could bring in RVP at a 4 point hit. But I would really be doing this to ensure i keep in touch with my rival in case RVP goes wild. I don't see long term role in my team in RVP currently. Personally at that price there is too much uncertainly for me at the moment. If I bank my transfer my main differentials would be as follows: Him: RVP, Giroud, Mata Me: Negredo, Ade, Miralles With doubts about around Negredo and Ade not firing lately, i think he has the upper hand this week. I am 22 points behind, but i was was over 100 behind at the beginning of Jan. I would love to keep the momentum going and keep the pressure on him. Any thoughts?
