Very similar situation to myself. In terms of my current 11:
Guzan
Duff Ivan Clyne
Siggy Di Maria Sterling Fab
Aguero Costa Welbeck

Was v tempted by a Fab+Duff to Mane+Baines this week for a -4, but alas am .2 short

bench is: Gilks, King, Moore, Wisdom

Are you gonna go with Chadli instead?

I plan to get Hazard in a few weeks. Mane is a punt for a few weeks, I think he's looked decent so far and think he's more of a goal threat than Fab and can match his points over the next month. It's a bit of a risk but I was always planning on getting Hazard in for Fabregas at some stage anyway.

I think Mane is a good shout, admittedly a bit risky

He's only played 2 games and hasn't done much FF wise.

Maybe he'll get the odd assist and gaol, still think they're better out there for his price.

Has anyone considered changing their Midfield Bench Fodder to a Striker Bench Fodder.

For example currently Boyd is £4.4m, Ashley Barnes is also £4.4m and is starting to get decent game time.

This would leave the door open to transfer Welbeck (currently have Costa & Aguero too) to Chadli freeing up some extra cash for the defence

Any thoughts on Midfield Bench Fodder over Striker Bench Fodder?

Welbeck is the best and cheapest way into Arsenal's upcoming great fixtures. If he starts firing, his value will skyrocket as well. But I inherently prefer the 3-4-3 formation

I might bottle it now and keep Cesc

. Everton's starting back 4 against Villa could be
Baines Jags Alcaraz Hibbert
which doesn't inspire me with too much confidence in a cleanie.

Think i'm just gonna hold fire for now. Bank the transfer and re-assess after next gw. There's so many things to consider in midfield especially, like you said Chadli, also Fab v Hazard, Ramsey when he returns, Walcott... The extra F/T may come in handy depending on how things go. And it's not like any of the mids i currently have are underperforming anyway (and its not often you can say that!)

Am I missing something about this Mané guy?

Very attacking midfielder (almost an inside forward if you're a FM player) playing for a good Southampton side at 6.9 with preferable fixtures

Ziegler1988 · 09-10-2014 05:12PM

He also has a great goalscoring record (albeit in the Austrian league and Europa league)

Not too mane if you ask me

He has a very decent scoring record. However, Tadic is on penalties and is also a good option.

Mane has superb fixtures over the next 5 and could be a massive differential.

RossieMan · 09-10-2014 08:08PM

Wheres all this Mane stuff coming from?

Is he even a nailed on starter?

LostArt · 09-10-2014 08:22PM

As it happens I was at Spurs v Soton at the weekend, on another day Mane could have scored and assisted a couple. What would worry me is that despite taking up some great positions he wasted them all and he won't come up against a centre half playing right back (Dier) every week.

Barnes is 4th or 5th choice striker at Burnley. He is getting more gametime due to the ings injury and midfield injuries. Ings could be back next game and if so it will be ings and jutk. Vokes when fit will leapfrog Barnes also. I prefer the mid option as it's cheaper for the striker option it's .5 dearer as jutkiewcz is the option there.

Inherently I'm a 3-4-3 man but there are more options for high scores in midfield this season at the min!

I agree tho with Arsenal fixtures & Welbs. I'm going to stick.

Have 2 free transfers & Can't figure out what to do!

Lovren looks like he could be out a while, in case anyone is insane enough to still have a Liverpool defender.

Thing is, Lovren out will probably improve Liverpool's defence :pac:

Sakho and Skrtel playing together. I'm not sure how that'll go. Liverpool badly need Sturridge back. Their defence wasn't good last season but they had the firepower up front to counteract that.

oh lord this changes things!!!! moreno out immediately (which had been the original plan anyway but now .1 short for baines)

Got that itch again to do Cesc to Hazard...madness?

manual_man · 10-10-2014 03:02PM

How long are Lovren and Sakho out for? Kolo Toure is an absolute mess of a player these days. Liverpool defense had actually looked semi-decent in last 2 PLgames - clean sheets denied by a peno that never was, and a last minute worldy by Jagielka

Not IMO. Hazard will come good eventually. He tailed off towards the end of last season, had a poor World Cup and isn't setting the world alight but he's a world class player IMO and will bounce back.

I'm keeping Fabregas myself but most people expect his returns to tail off given how deep he has been playing.

Hes got that Pirlo quarterback type role nailed on. The quality of his passing is second to only 1

Ill either be making the move fab to hazard or going with both of them. Hazard being on pens gives him an approx 25 pt head start on fab. Having said that I expect fab to be comfortably in the top 4 mids by year end. The price difference for those that have fab since the start has gone from 1 million to .6. My problem is my 3rd spot for a Chelsea player is it Azpilicueta or fab.

Hazard looked AWESOME at the weekend (on MOTD at least). Very tempted to go get him in instead of Fab in the next few weeks.

anyone see how alderwield played for southampton the last day? still only 5ml so cheapest of the back 4 and would allow me to keep cash to upgrade PVA to another 5 ml defender the following week

I got him in thinking he'd be a differential Soton defender. Only thing that differentiates him so far from Clyne/Bertrand is his lack of Goals and Assists.

if he got me 2 clean sheets in the next 4 I'd take it! he will be moved on again towards end of month. his main appeal is the extra money allows me to upgrade PVA to a spurs defender next week.
Its one of MANY options I'm looking at

I've seen him play a lot in the past and he's got a great shot on him so might be good for a goal or two, but his stats v Fonte aren't great, I'd pick Fonte ahead of him
