Do you need to play your wildcard? I'd be fairly happy with that team if you just did RVP to Aguero and Nolan to Sterling.
You could then work on the others over a few transfers.
Same as that, and I don't really think a point hit is needed.
Nolan -> Sterling this week.
With no Rooney it might be worth "saving" 4 points and letting RVP have a pop at West Brom. City play Spurs in the early kick off... It's a well know fact that early kick offs disappoint
Plus West Brom v United is the Monday night game... We'll get to see Mr.P sweat it out till then

If I recall City vs Spurs usually means goals for City and Aguero regardless of time :pac:
Yesterday was the last time in a long time I'll ever have faith in RVP. I'd be nice and relaxed knowing I'd probably get 1 point and be lucky. Last week is easily the stupidest week I'll have in the season

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
1) I pretty much agree with all your assessments.
As I told you in the GW thread your gambling nature would/could be your downfall :pac:... Anyway it's done now. You're still highly ranked and have an immediate opportunity to readjust.
2) If you WC here's what I'd do first.
RVP -> Aguero. You save £1.2m.
Nolan -> Sterling. You need £2.6m. Or Chadli which is the same price as Nolan (actually didn't realised Chadli was second best MF in the game - he's ranked 3rd but didn't play GW1 -) but as you said Sterling ownership could do you harm.
Coloccini -> Taylor. You need £0.1m.
Then.
Bardsley -> Wilson seems a no brainer for saving £0.5m (they're actually both on 23 pts).
About the Clyne -> Bertrand. You neither save nor lose anything (you just won't capitalise the last £0.1m banked). But if you want to do that move do it quick since Bertrand may rise tonight making you lose £0.1m from that switch.
About the GK I'm still analysing it but Forster sounds like a great choice considering Southampton upcoming fixtures. You'd save £0.3m too.
If I add up everything, you should be left with £0.4m in the bank.
---
Your alternative is to go 5 in midfield by doing Marney -> Chadli. You need £1.8m which you'd get from downgrading Pellè to a cheap forward (Ulloa, Naismith, Berahino, Jelavic, Weimann, Vardy, Sakho, Crouch... etc).
Personnaly I would not like this option too much since you'd be left with a selection nightmare most weeks.
3) If you don't WC. After all you could just get Aguero for RVP and Forster for DeGea for a 4 pts hit and the week after Chadli for Nolan (since Chadli is away to City next game). That should sort most of your team out. To get Sterling you'd be £0.1m short if my calculations are correct (you need £2.6m and with your £1m in the bank could only save £1.5m out of Aguero and Forster - to solution that you could get another cheaper GK -). If all go well you'd then make the boring transfer of Bardsley to Wilson to save a bit of cash and get a better ~£4.5m def than Coloccini.
If I play the haughty told you so "hindsighter" I'd dare say that had you planned the whole thing a bit better you could have already gone for Chadli over Nolan last week and maybe Falcao over RVP so that you'd not need to readjust and could save the WC. That said I understand the gambling "fun" behind it. 0 -

I agree with everything there. To be fair it was my first roll of the dice this year as opposed to rolling the dice practically every week last season. I knew the risks but every so often I'll just need to try something different. It is my downfall but if I can't enjoy myself every so often then I see no reason to play the game. It might cost me more often than not but the time it works could yield serious dividends. A flaw I've been working on slowly :pac:
I like my 3-4-3 and while there is value in cheaper forwards I like having 3 up front that should be capable of scoring every week. Pelle doesn't necessarily fit that just yet at his price but for now his place is safe.
If I can get away with -4 and move forward then it might be the wiser move. I can always WC in a couple of weeks then anyway.
My biggest policy this season is to not rush things. It's cost my bank balance but on the whole I've been picking the right players and been remaining calm. Last weekend was a swift reminder of last season's fast and loose disasters.0 -
