Just broke into the Top 6k. Team at present

Forster (McCarthy)

Ivanovic Duff Wilson (Hutton Wisdom)

DiMaria Fabregas Sterling Siggy (Boyd)

Costa Aguero Welbeck.

With 2 FT's and £0 in the bank any advice for the coming weeks based on my current thoughts.

Baines is about to take off! Everton will start getting clean sheets, he will score & assist more.

Hazard, again, about to take off, will outscore most midfielders.

With this said how do I get these into my team?

Ivanovic & Sterling for the chop - meaning I'll need to free up some cash. So thinking of Welbeck to Sakho

Should I drop Aguero as he isnt giving the returns of 12million player?

Stop being silly, my attackers are fine and focus on my defence?

Yeah there's a definite template midfield at the min: Siggy, Cesc, ADM and Sterling.

But there's players that are worthy of attention: Hazard is definitely one. Tadic is another on my watch list. But the question is who to get rid of. Sterling might seem like the obvious one, but he's had good returns (an average of over 5 points per GW). Also, Liverpool have 3 good games coming up, and Sturridge coming back, so I think Sterling will continue on this form.

As for Aguero, there's no way I'd get rid of him!

I have the 4 above + Costa (which I guess a lot of people here do. Their fixtures are very annoying - they all play home one week, then away the next. Would be nice if at least one/two were on a different pattern.

Yeah, this week that midfield 4 got 34 points, last week they got 9!

This goes totally against the previous poster. I gotta make changes to my team. Thinkin of gettin aguero and chadli in for welbeck and mata. That'll be a hit of minus 4. But my mid field would be fab siggy di maria chadli cattermole and a forward line of costa aguero and pelle. City have spurs west ham and utd next 3 games and i def fancy aguero to score against any of them.
Spurs have city newcastle villa stoke in the next 4 so bar the city game i fancy chadli to keep his good form.

Thoughts please

I'm pretty sure I'm going to play my wildcard in this international break. After my lunacy of the weekend I need to get rid of RVP and Nolan at the very least. I only lost about 15 points from it, have learned my lesson and I'm still in 17k. As I said yesterday I'm glad I got it out of my system early.

My current squad:

De Gea - Hamer
Clyne - Moore - Bardsley - PVA - Coloccini
Di Maria - Fabregas - Nolan - Siggy - Marney
Costa - RVP - Pelle

1.0 in the bank.

GK
-De Gea: He bailed me out this weekend but I need to get rid as United just can't be relied upon.
-Hamer: Grand as a backup and even played a game.

Def:
-Clyne: One of my finest picks having him from GW1 however I'm tempted to switch to Bertrand as his output seems to be higher in underlying attacks. I'll be keeping a Saint at the back regardless.
-Moore: As 4.0 fodder I'm happy enough. Leicester should be able for a few clean sheets at home and I see no reason to sell.
-PVA: Van Aanholt has been another GW1 player who has done excellently for me however looking at Sunderland's upcoming fixtures I don't really think I'd be playing him.
-Coloccini: I got some decent use out of him in the first 2-3 weeks but I need him gone whilst Newcastle seem unable to defend. Pardew doesn't seem like getting sacked either.
-Bardsley: Somebody else I've actually been really happy with so far. The .5 extra over Wilson has paid dividends so far with attacking points and some BPs but I don't think Stoke's defence is worth that .5 going forwards if I get a chance to change. I don't particularly trust them for clean sheets but are handy assets to have.

Mid:
-Di Maria: Yeah I think he'll be my sole representative in the United attack going forward. If his return diminishes I'll have built up some funds at the very least. He stays.
-Fabregas: Another I've had since GW1 and been delighted with his output. I think Hazard is getting into his groove though and don't want 3 Chelsea attackers. Costa is obviously a permanent fixture. This could be one of the risks I make.
-Nolan: Yeah madness. Was a Ramsey replacement for a terrible punt. Leaving my team as soon as possible.
-Siggy: He has to stay really. I like him as a player and an FPL asset. Doubt wavered but he's a very important player in the game this year.
-Marney: Bench fodder. Currently injured and would switch to Boyd and save .1.

Forwards:
-Costa: Nothing much to be said here. Stays.
-RVP: The 2nd in that 1 week punt and replaced Rooney. I'll be shipping him out for Aguero. Not much debate here.
-Pelle: My best transfer of the season so far, and well in for him keeping that title. His 2 goals against the Toon and points since have had a lot to do with firing me up the rankings. Would consider him for Welbeck at somestage maybe but have no reason to sell with the Saints upcoming fixtures.

Some of the players I'm considering in these 2 weeks are Forster, Baines, Rose, Chadli, Hazard, Sterling (ownership scares the crap out of me), Aguero to name a few rolling around in my head.

I'd be interested to see what folk think of my squad and whether they'd agree with my assessments
