    Have 2 FTs, but really not sure what to do with them. I have 3 cheapie defenders and I feel that Moore and Duff might not be great long term options. Might look at upgrading one of those. Have 0.5m in the bank. Thinking of Hutton. Villa coming out of their tough run (though they do have Spurs and Everton in the next 3). They looked well organised against City yesterday - took City a while to break them down.

    Not sure about the other transfer, but would be nice to be able to carry that one over by another week.

    Yeah it's a close call. Pelle is up there with Costa for shots, shots in box etc. So I'll be sticking with him for now at least.

    I actually think Sunderland and Stoke aren't that ideal fixtures. They'll be tight enough games

    I have two FTs and looking to make 4 transfers (8 point hit) to to the following:

    Clichy, Dier, Silva and Vardy out

    Bertrand , Duff, Elmohamoday and D Costa in

    This would leave me a team of

    Guzan

    Chambers, Bertrand, Duff

    Henderson, Fabregas, Siggy, Di Maria

    Falcao, Aguero, Costa


    Subs: Krul, Hutton, Wisdom, Elmohamoday

    Thoughts?

    Too much up front?

    When I look at the players you are getting in, I'm not sure the -8 is worth it. Costa is pretty much essential, but I'd look at getting him in for Falcao instead. Personally, I would do Clichy and Falcao out, for Costa plus whatever defender you can afford.

    Essentially, what I'm saying is, if Duff and Elmohamoday are 2 of the players coming in, -8 isn't worth it.

    Thinking about wildcard. 2 weeks break for international. My current squad:


    GK: De Gea, Myhill
    Def: Moreno, Dier, van Aanholt, Wisdom, Hutton
    Mid: Siggy, Lamela, Fabregas, di Maria, Sterling
    Att: Welbeck, Ulloa, Costa

    My deffence is awful. My main rivals took advantage becouse of their cleen sheets. So main reason is to rebuild it in my team. I'm thinking to get Aguero/Sturridge and maybe Pelle (nice gw ahead Southamton). Aguero is a diffrence and I dont have any City player. However Sturridge is going to be back at next game. I think he is hungry and LFC with him get the power from the last season. It could be good steal.

    In deffence Bertrand and Foster. Staying with Wisdom and Hutton. Maybe give a chance Moreno. QPR, Hull, Newcastle are next opponents.

    Provisional squad:

    Forster / Myhill
    Bertrand, Moreno, Dummet / Wisdom, Hutton
    Silva, Siggy, di Maria, Fabregas / Delph
    Pelle, Sturridge, Costa

    What do you think? I stayed with wildcard to use it in proper moment. It is now? No bans, no injuries, but my rivals are better than me in last 2-3 gameweeks, so I lost to the leader about 50 points.

    Thanks for any suggestions! :)

    Do.Not.Buy.Moreno.
    That's my advice
    He had a nice fixture yday too
    He has a nice fixture when I bought him 4 weeks ago too
    He has delivered 6 points total in that time for 5.5 ml
    AVOID


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭SpaceCowb0y


    Need to ship Pieters out, but for who? Already have Forster in goal but considering getting Bertrand in too is this madness?? Can't see anyone else who stands out.

    Current defense
    Forster
    Pieters-Taylor-PVA-Wisdom-Duff

    Time to get Hazard in now we know he is the pen taker!

    Fabregas will have to be the one to make one

    Fabregas is still an assist machine and got motm today.

    I can see why people are getting hazard in but im holding onto Fabregas for another while.

    Main piority is to get Ageuro in or Falcao. Then start looking to get Krul out sometime over the next few weeks.

    I Wildcarded last week...Took out mata and hazard For Di maria and Fabergas


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Inspector Coptoor


    My Defence is a shambles.

    I have 2 FTs and 0.8M in the bank.

    I have Guzan & Krul as GKs
    Then Wisdom, Dier, Clichy, Chambers & Hutton.

    Clichy & Chambers out is my thinking but who to get in?

    I'd love a top 3 of Aguero, Falcao & Costa. Have Aguero, Falcao & Vardy currently

    Definitely get Costa in before any other transfer. Chambers has good fixtures after his ban and is cheap. I'd get rid of Dier and Clichy first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,064 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    Time to get rid of Ade & Chambers now with my 2 FT's

    I understand this about Fab but over the course of the season I feel Hazard will out score him due to scoring more goals. My other midfielders are Sterling, Siggy & DiMaria.

    Have Costa up top so 3 attacking from the one team is 1 too much I feel!

    Huge Dilemma as Fab has always been a FF God

    Current Squad:

    De Gea / Myhill

    Hutton --- Wilson --- Coloccini --- Lovren --- Wisdom

    Fábregas --- Sigurdsson --- Sterling --- Lamela --- Tadic

    Don't pick 5 good midfielders again, make up your mind on who you want as your 4th and spend a max of 4.5 on your 5th.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 328 ✭✭Griever931


    Moreno in for Caulker.

    Also planing to use my wildcard this week, need to shift begovic, Bruce and mgeady or naismith.

    Already have costa and kun, the plan is too add falcoe to the mix and go really top heavy.

    Begovic has pretty decent fixtures in his next 5 so I wouldn't be shipping him out just yet.

    Pieters has to go as he has been dropped.

    Clyne,Moore,Duff and Taylor arey other defenders.

    3 attacking players from the one team is too much, surely!!!

    It's a risky move and usually would backfire but Chelsea have the best squad in the league and look like they'll ease to the title so if there's one team that you might get away with it it's Chelsea.
