Ah no. I will be on flights for most of tomorrow and have suarez as capt and sturidge as vice.
Suppose the safe thing to do is move the vice to yaya.

Is it Stockholm Syndrome where if you've been held hostage by somebody for enough game weeks you start to identify and sympathise with them??

It is... I go around thinking I'm a defensive midfielder that gets way more than my fair share of goals and penalties... I've a African father and a Welsh mother.

dr.kenneth noisewater · 10-02-2014 08:54PM

Went for the below for a -4 hit, really need a good couple of weeks to catch the leader in my main league!

Januzaj -> Sterling
Johnson -> Hazard
Rooney -> Dzeko

If Fulham is off, wouldn't the West Ham and Arsenal games be off too? Sounds like Fulham want a delay after exhausting themselves yesterday.

TheRedDevil10 · 10-02-2014 09:05PM

Have 12.6 to spend on 3 defenders.

Was thinking Dann (4) Collins (4.1) and Figueroa (4.4)

Any advice ?

Lucas Hood · 10-02-2014 09:07PM

Should know at 3.00pm tomorrow.

Following a number of enquiries regarding how the potential London Underground strike action may affect Wednesday evening’s fixture against Liverpool, the Club can confirm that it is currently proceeding on the basis that the game will go ahead.

However, the Club has concerns over the potential impact that the strike may have on the ability of its safety staff to attend the ground in sufficient time and numbers to ensure that it is able to open the ground and effectively operate it, from the time that the gates are open to the public until the departure of all supporters.

After consulting with the Local Authority and the Metropolitan Police, it has been decided that if the proposed action is still undetermined at 3pm tomorrow (Tuesday), and the Club cannot guarantee enough staff are available to attend the ground in sufficient time and numbers, then as a consequence the Club would not be able to comply with the terms of its safety certificate and the fixture would be postponed and rescheduled for a future date.

A further statement will be released at 3pm on Tuesday to confirm whether the game will go ahead or be postponed.

I transferred in Sterling already

Could leave me with only 10 playere. With 3 Liverpool players, Terry injuried, and relutant to mkae changes, also means rethinking who gets the VC armband.

Exactly what I have just done.

This weekend? We have the midweek games to get through first. Definitely get rid of the doubled up Arsenal defence, but why Flanagan? Liverpool haven't been getting a lot of clean sheets and he's not going to get goals or assists.

I'll wait to see what happens with the tube strike. I just thought that Liverpool kept a clean sheet against Everton, the goal they gave away to West Brom was a fluke individual mistake not a team mistake and they gave away a penalty against Arsenal. So it looks like their defense is getting alot more organised. They also have a nice fixture list coming up.

Where does Hazard come into it?

Sorry, that was meamt to read 'Terry injured'.

CSF · 10-02-2014 09:24PM

With overground services still running and the tube not completely out of service, seems ridiculous that this would be off.

Santi101 · 10-02-2014 09:30PM

Was gonna bring Yaya in again but I wonder about him playing the full game with City's fixtures on the horizon.

He seemed very deep against Norwich and seems to be carrying some niggles lately.

Santi101 · 10-02-2014 09:31PM

In the end, did Mannone to Adrian. Mannone has been gold lately but seems the time to get off the train with tough fixtures and a cup final coming up.

roryc · 10-02-2014 09:39PM

Leaning in favour of banking my transfer. Could really do with 2 FT's going into next week to prepare for the madness of GW28/29. I was planning on getting rid of Sagna for Azpilicueta, Skrtel or Olssen, but none are guaranteed clean sheets and Arsenal could hold United goalless at Emirates. They'll be looking to tighten up after the Liverpool game. I think using your transfer this week is equivalent to taking a 4 point hit.

So banking it would give me 2 free transfers to use after the FA results are known, and would also give the option of doubling up on Arsenal defence against Sunderland (H) and Stoke (A) in the run up. On top of this, if Liverpool manage to beat Arsenal again in the FA Cup AND Southampton beat Sunderland then I'll have the two defenders for their juicy Swansea (H) tie in GW29. Odds on to keep a clean sheet there!

United, City, Sunderland and West Brom all miss GW28, so this leaves me with max 10 players for that GW with the team above. Yet another reason I need to have free transfers on hand! I've done a quick tot up of my teams permutations for GW29 (see bottom of post). Would recommend you all do the same when you have a few minutes to spare. My main worry at the moment is the Chelsea v City game. Really need Mourinho's men to get a result again! Not an easy job at the Etihad, but it would free up Zabaleta and Yaya for the Stoke (H) game in GW27, and Villa (H) in GW29. Massive swing and I'll need to dump both if they win on Saturday. I'm expecting the rest of my team to be decimated, especially the Liverpool, Arsenal and Sunderland players who need two results to go their way to be able to play in GW29. The more you analyse this the crazier it gets, I could easily have 3 or 4 players going into GW29.

TLDR - I'm probably not making a transfer this week...

10-02-2014 09:42PM

Rvp, Kolarov , bruce = out
sturridge, Cahill, ivanovic = in for a 4pt hit.

Jeju · 10-02-2014 09:43PM

Have 2 transfers this GW thinking Nolan but had him when he got sent off the first time and kept him and played him again when he got sent off a second.
Vowed never again but he is looking best value MF and some nice fixtures.
He will come in for Januzaj.

eh i dunno · 10-02-2014 09:48PM

Would Cahill, Lallana and Negredo in for Kolarov, Ozil and Giroud be a good move?
Or would Adebayor be a better bet than Negredo?

Bringing in Terry for a hit on Friday is up there with my worst transfers. Was planning on banking my transfer this week but will bring in another Chelsea defender now instead for Bruce but will wait until the teams are out tomorrow.

Not a bad transfer, just an unlucky one.

Mr. Guappa · 10-02-2014 10:29PM

Any word on Jonny Evans injury?

I'm hoping to bank this weeks transfer now that Yaya has escaped punishment. An extra free transfer will be very useful once more information is known about GW29 and subsequent DGW(s).

Team is currently:

Adrian
Azpilicueta, Sagna, Evans
Hazard, Yaya, Lallana, Mata
Adebayor, Suarez, Sturridge

Speroni, Olsson(NOR), Gabbidon, Johnson (NOR)

Fulham should be docked points if they cancel the fixture. Theres an overground train station thats a 15min walk to the ground.

PARlance · 10-02-2014 11:39PM

Pretty sure I'm the only one on here looking for the game to get called off.

Don't think there's much of a probability of it being postponed but I would be extremely happy to just have to tell Sturridge he is benched.

The badness in me is hoping it's off just to piss off the trigger happy managers bringing in Sterling & Sturridge today.. ( Same trigger happys are going to cost me another 0.1 tonight for Hazard so that's were that is coming from)

You have me with the transfer guilt! I was with ya on the double arsenal defenders and had intended to get rid this week and already pulled the trigger for Distin which will hopefully pay off short term. I was tempted to hold off but went ahead last night, but if I'd read this and looked more closely at Arsenals fixtures after tomorrow I may have banked.

The potential of having 2 Arsenal defs home to Swansea in a decimated GW29 old be nice.

I'd like if it was off too, only have Suarez and everyone (well almost

) has him, it's the people with S a S a S or S who would suffer big.

Danger781 · 10-02-2014 11:56PM

I'd be so screwed if it was off..

-4 done and it's looking likely I won't have a bench for this GW

*insert expletive here*

Hazard will be rising again tonight :mad: Well what's another .1 at this stage. I hate people sometimes, how on earth is it not possible to wait an extra day?!

Hopefully they all own Studge and that game is called off! Bah being bitter is all I have left this season :pac:

An absolute disgrace if it is called off and it's quite easy to see what they are at. They don't fancy playing an in-form Liverpool team who have had an extra days rest and are chancing their arm. The FA will no doubt buy it.

Wouldn't bother me if it was off, would just mean a double GW with S and S and S. Would jsut give the Captaincy to YaYa tomorrow night.
