Gameweek 26 Transfers.

was thinking of bringing flanagan in hve to wait now

In a bit of a pickle:
Front 8 are:
Lallana, Mata, Yaya, Hazard, Sterling.
Benteke, Dzeko, Suarez.

I need to bench one. Question is: which one? I feel like Sterling will be buoyed after two against Arsenal, but I don't know who to bench in his place. My feeling is it'll be Benteke or Dzeko, but both do have the capacity to score.
(Presuming of course that the Pool/Fulham game goes ahead.)

Januzaj -> Sterling for a 4 point hit? Worth it?

No because you pretty much need him to score a goal to make that transfer worthwhile, Sterling doesnt score many and is a poor finisher and that's coming from a Liverpool fan. Do it next week for free.

I hear the strike is of..is it true

As a relative newbie (first season) on this forum, I would say it's well worth your time to spend a few minutes reading the threads, the GW transfer, GW matchday and General thread... You'll pick up a lot of useful tips and info!

And will save you having any thoughts of bringing Yaya in before we knew the FA decision or Sterling before there's a 3pm decision on the game to go ahead.

Fair point

Game is on, get transferring

I only said it as it may save silly mistakes and reading the general info is worth points in itself.

Edit: Hold that transfer

One of the unions have cancelled I just read. Other unions involved so if they follow suit, strike would be off and game goes ahead.

If the game still ends up cancelled after me hearing the strike was 100% off from various sources I will legitimately smash things.

Tough one, if you're set on Sterling then I would possibly bench Dzeko purely because he isn't guaranteed the minutes and I would fancy Benteke to score against ...but it's a risk.

If it was me, I would probably leave Sterling out, but that's hard to do after last weekend.

The problem is that I'm not set on Sterling, but he has before gone on a few game run of getting points. But he is terribly inconsistent. On the other hand, Dzeko isn't a sure-starter, they haven't exactly got many goals the last two games, and Sunderland have been defensively sound for a bit.

BUT if ever there was a week for them to bounce back, it's this week--and Dzeko is quite consistent when he starts. (I doubt Jovetic or whatever his name is will start the game.)

You see the problem?

Pretty much worked out my rivals team for the gameweek, just haven't figured out his captain yet - Suarez or Hazard. He'll be fielding the same 11 as me bar the three below:

Marshall: Aston Villa (H)....vs....Mignolet: Fulham (A)
Zabaleta: Sunderland (H)..vs....Azpilicueta: West Brom (A)
Yaya: Sunderland (H).......vs....Eriksen: Newcastle (A)

My three home players vs his three away. I'm definitely fav to score higher, although this game rarely plays out as it should! Global ranking has become somewhat secondary this season, I've never had a rival in any of my private leagues that's been ahead post Christmas. This is more down to their sh*tness rather than my superiority! Has been enjoyable to have a decent contest this season, and if I do end up closing the gap I'll likely finish in the top 2k/3k anyway.

Definitely banking my transfer tonight as we'll both be fielding Mertesacker. City game is massively important now, hope they hammer them (to nil)! A Fulham goal would be beautiful, not expecting anything from Marshall.

Will Collins play for west ham

Yes

Anyone fancy Giroud for tonight? I'm thinking of swapping him for Sturridge.

Getting rid of Sturridge for him is insane!!

I'm going the other way mate. I'm thinking of bringing Sturridge IN. I brought Giroud in two weeks ago and left him in my team. I planned on dumping him, but thought he might be worth a punt against a leaky United defence.
