    With the situation as it is with City strikers I'm genuinely considering a punt on Jovetic for this little run of games, Dzeko and Negredo won't be put out time after time. Does anybody else have an opinion on this, I'd say Jovetic is very likely to start this week anyway, after that who knows.

    Are people starting their Arsenal defenders? I think Ill bench Kosc.

    Benching both of them! Starting Azpil, Yoshida and Brown who all have good games.

    I was going to drop Mertesacker but with Evans ruled out Mert will have to start.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,697 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    i've taken a shot with Zaha.

    Carroll isn't going to come down in value before next week as he's such low ownership, so Zaha is my new 5th midfielder and i'll take Carroll out next week.

    hopefully it's a Carroll-like result from last week minus the sending off!

    Mannone
    Coleman Ward Kompany
    Zaha Lallana Oscar Mata Eriksen
    Negredo Suarez (c)

    Marshall; Kos, Chester, Carroll

    I would be heavily inclined towards Dzeko and Negredo starting. It's February and City are not top of the league and lost their last game.

    Would Januzaj/Giroud to Colback/RVP make sense?

    A talented youngster who will only play half of the remaining games to someone who should play most games as the cheap 5th mid.

    A goal-shy striker to a guaranteed goalscorer who'll be the main man for a team that badly needs goals.

    Also nearly tempted to go Silva to Lallana instead of Januzaj to Colback. But I already have Rodriguez

    Benched Kos and Skrtel and starting Yoshida & Azpil

    Hope we're both proved right !!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,072 ✭✭✭carraig2


    Dzeko and Cahill for Giroud and Turner


    What de yez think?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,268 ✭✭✭IsMiseMyself


    Benching Kos. Don't think they will keep a cleanie and I don't fancy his chances of scoring/assisting. Playing Chambers on the off chance he starts. If he doesn't, Coleman is my first sub.

    Transferred Adebayor for Dzeko. Reckon City will be out for blood after losing to Chelsea and I'd fancy his chances over Negredo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,115 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    Leaving Mert on the bench and starting Kolarov, Ward and Collins. Have Coleman but think i'll leave him on the bench away to Spurs

    Giroud and Oscar OUT for either Mata & Dzeko (Suarez captain) or Eriksen & RVP (c)?

    All opinions welcome!

    2nd option for me, all day.

    I was happy enough to bank my transfer but I don't have united coverage and this is concerning me. My main rival has both Mata and RVP. 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?

    Here I am still in the same boat approaching deadline.
    Decided not to go with RVP so if I make a transfer it will prob be Mata. I don't really want to get rid of Ade but I could do Ade and Mirales out for Rod and Mata.

    Also, Mourinho said today Salah is selected to play tomorrow. Anyone worried Hazard might be rested? (I am!) He is a possible captain choice.

    I'm thinking I'll just go with Kos and see how Evans is during the week. I'd like him for the Palace game. Kos is due a goal and Liverpool aren't exactly solid at the back.

    With that do I do Ade to Dzeko or Santi to Silva. If Norwich end up playing Russell Martin at CB, with doubts over Bennett I think some form of City attack would be nice (was going to bring somebody in for midweek anyway). Although Bennett is incentive enough.

    I went Ade to Dzeko, but that doesn't really mean anything for you. :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston

    Haha well you're on a pretty hot streak atm so who am I to question :pac:

    The ankle doubt has spooked me a little and it'd be typical of Ade to troll me after doing nothing for 2 weeks but I'll probably pull the trigger sometime tonight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,793 ✭✭✭Benimar


    Just done a bit of a re-think. Going Giroud & Ade to RVP (c) and JRod for -4


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    probably the least exciting transfer i've ever made, 1 crystal palace defender for another crystal palace defender!!

    Can't understand why you'd have Skrtel instead of Flanagan

    Cause Flanagan hasn't completed 90 mins in the league in nearly 2 months

    I've just sold him to fund RVP, so am expecting him to run riot.

    Pellegrini has said recently that Jovetic can fit in in midfield. That would put me off buying him.

    That train is due to derail anytime time now. Perhaps this week. :pac:

    Just made a risky -4 of Mariappa to Terry, so I need Chelsea to keep a clean sheet and Arsenal to concede as I'm starting him over Kosc to break even. Its risky I know but I just have it in my head Terry will score tomorrow and I'd regret not doing it and if it breaks even its like an extra free transfer. I actually only got rid of Terry 3 gameweeks ago with my wildcard but messed my defence up with it. Also Chelsea have kept 6 cleansheets in their last 8 PL games.

    Am I crazy?

    This is actually a bonus with pool defenders. He gets 60 usually so might be subbed and protect a clean sheet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,559 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Surprised the Dzeko train is still in motion, if I hadnt already made the transfer I'd be a tad hesitant towards making it now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,529 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Still havent pulled the trigger on a transfer, very indecisive this week, help!

    Option A
    Bruce -> Chelsea Defender, can afford any of them!

    Option B
    Adebayor -> Negredo

    Option C
    Adebayor -> RVP
    Mertesacker -> 4.3m Defender like Ben Turner
    -4 Points

    Did that to Azil before his price rise


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Dzeko -> Ade done.

    I'd 99% be doing it come the midweek games anyway so while I'm not too bothered about price rises it's atleast .2 cheaper doing it tonight.

    I'm going to have to do something about Evans come midweek and perhaps end up playing Mannone against City (cheers McGregor). I can stop worrying until the GW starts now anyway :pac: Delph is probably my only sub this week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,075 ✭✭✭tom_k


    Did Evans to Cahill there. And I'm nearly as uncomfortable about it as when I brought Evans in last week...

    Gabbidon, Mertesacker, Coleman, Azpilicueta, Ryan Bennett;

    Which 3 would you pick?

    Im currently going with Gabbidon,Coleman, Azpilicueta

    I've captain Suarez so does it make sense to drop Mert for Gabbidon as he's playing at home :confused:
