Not if they are all scoring well. It doesn't matter where you get the points from!

If I make 2 transfers tonight (only have 1 f/t), but then decide to activate my wildcard later in the game week, will I be down 4 points?

Nope. Will be back to 0 points.

With nearly everyone having costa and fab I'd sort of discount those two. I'd class hazard as the best midfield option in the game so should I have silva over him for example just because he is from a different club.

No. And this year wildcards aren't counting towards price rises (allegedly) so if you're playing it I would leave it to the last day anyway.

Menas · 05-10-2014 08:26PM

No obvious transfer for me again this week. So may just leave it until after the internationals and move Krul on.

Ziegler1988 · 05-10-2014 08:52PM

Sitting on two FTs. Tempted to do Sterling and Chambers out for Chadli and Baines. If Everton could keep cleanies with their upcoming matches, Baines will be a monster. More worried about international injuries than price changes so will wait for 10 days or so before doing anything.

Pieters has to go as he has been dropped.

Suggestions for the same price or less

Clyne,Moore,Duff and Taylor arey other defenders.

Kaboul? After they play City, their fixtures aren't bad until they play United and Chelsea back to back in late December. I'm thinking of upgrading one of my 4.5m players to him.

Good shout and not many have Spurs defenders in the league I am most concerned with.

Thanks for tip.

thewools · 05-10-2014 09:17PM

Who "should" go up by 0.2 or more so??

Lemlin · 05-10-2014 09:23PM

My defence needs investment. 2.6 mil to spend.

Krul
Moore Wisdom Duff PVA Taylor

I'm thinking Moore to Clyne/Bertrand and then Krul to Lloris the following GW after Spurs have played City.

Will be waiting until the internationals are played though.

Sterling out?? He's arguably Liverpool's most important player attacking wise and they have a string of nice fixtures approaching. I never think Baines is worth the extra money unless he's hitting close to 10 points every week.

I also have Moore, Wisdom and Duff, and I think that Moore and Duff may need to be moved on. Only have 0.5 in the bank. I'm thinking of a Villa defender - they seem well organised, and fixtures are easing.

Everton will start getting some cleanies and I do agree, Baines is playing exceptionally well of late.

Ivanovic is coming out for Baines for me.

I'm certainly having Sterling out thoughts at present.
It's probably unnecessary at present due to his ownership but he has dropped from my number 1 midfielder after the first few GWs to now being number 3 (of my 3 premiums).

A lot of things have changed since then and I'm certainly open to letting him go.

1. The signing of Mario or playing 2 up front has been a bad thing for him imo. When it was just Sturridge up front in the earlier games, Sterling was way move advanced.
2. DiMaria and Fab have jumped ahead of him in my ranking of 3 premium mids.
3. There are now some strong challengers out there, stronger than they had been in the first few GWs. Arsenal have a great run so that opens up their 10 options

and Silva has been on top form too.
4. There's also the possibility that Chadli could partner Siggy and change things to having only 2 premium mids.... That would open the door to Aguero & Costa to be partnered by a Falcao(in about 5gws) or Sturridge (once he's back)

Burnley have some decent fixtures coming up and could keep a few clean sheets. They may be relegation fodder but Brum were a few years back and were good for defensive points - like Burnley, their problems were at the other end of the pitch.

I think Moore will be first to go anyway. Probably this GW because I think I'll go with Lloris as keeper over Froster.

Other mids are ADM, Cesc, Siggy, and Boyd. I don't want to drop Sterling, but I don't think he's essential since Rodgers has shown he can rest him and Liverpool have other attacking mids. I won't rush into it, but Baines is getting so many assists and if he scored that penalty today he would have had three 10+ points hauls in four. The BPS system is heavily weighted in his favour.

IsMiseMyself · 05-10-2014 11:18PM

I've no intention to go near my team for two weeks.

The three transfers I made this week were somewhat ineffective:
DDG-->Fabianski, Rooney-->Aguero, and Pieters-->Wilson.

Still want Pelle in, but that'd mean shipping Ivan and I'd like to keep him for Palace away. Plus, for the next gameweek particularly, I've no idea who I'd replace him with.

km79 · 05-10-2014 11:53PM

chadli hit the post as well........is he this seasons Ramsey? sterling to chadli in a week or 2 would free up some funds and I cud have falcao Costa AND aguero

skippy15 · 05-10-2014 11:59PM

Courtois and Wilson out for - Mannone and Azpi?
Or
Mccarthy and chambers out for - wisdom and Mannone?

Rikand · 06-10-2014 12:04AM

Making one early transfer. Ward -> Bertrand. Both at risk of price changing in either direction.

Gonna sit on my wildcard thoughts for now. Dont *really* need to make wholescale changes.

I did my usual gamble and went for Chadli in for Siggy 3 weeks ago. Siggy closed the gap this week but Chadli is still a point ahead (16 v 15)

I think Chadli will outscore him this season. They're neck & neck at present but I think Spurs will improve and Swansea's form won't last IMO.

Saying that... It's madness not to have Siggy at present so I may bring him back in and could have some extra funds to play with.

sheroman01 · 06-10-2014 12:06AM

I have just enough for Chambers at 4.6 (yes i know he's gone for 1 game). Any chance of his price changing?

Buy him in a week for 4.5 or 4.4.
I doubt he'll be on the rise after getting suspended. I'd imagine a drop would be a certainty.

He'll be suspended again in 6 Gws at the rate he's going...

I doubt he'll drop tbh. He's only out for a game and the threshold for dropping is much higher due to the red flag.

I'll be hoping he doesn't as I'll hang onto him if he's looking like staying but two weeks should be enough to see him drop? My thinking is that the extra week will cancel out the additional requirement.

manual_man · 06-10-2014 04:50AM

will hold tight as thankfully price rises/falls aren't an issue with any transfers i might be considering. hopefully all my big-guns will come back from int'l duty unscathed. happy with my squad apart from King(5th mid) and possibly Guzan. 0.3 in the bank. May bank the transfer

Dubliner28 · 06-10-2014 08:53AM

I've 1.8m in the bank. Thinking of dropping De Gea given United's fixtures against the big guns, but I'm not sure who to replace him with.
