Pelle all day long.

Thinking the same myself.

Think its time to pull the trigger...

Schmeichel -> Mannone
Moore -> Dawson
Wisdom -> Bertrand
Sterling -> Di Maria
El Ahmadi -> Jedinak
Rooney -> Aguero
Naismith -> Pelle

Every transfer an improvement going forward I think

Have Forster, Hutton, Van Aanholt, Duff, Chadli, Sigurdsson, Fabregas, Costa already

Pelle or Naismith?

Pelle. Barkley due back soon and Naismith already isn't assured of his place.

On a WC here so would love to hear something definite. Trying to fit Aguero in is hurting the rest of my team so leaning towards only going with one of Costa/Aguero.

Would give me:
Krul/Mannone
Baines, Azpilicueta, Bertrand, N. Taylor, Hutton
Di Maria, Fabregas, Siggy, Henderson, Downing (may downgrade)
Aguero, Pelle, Welbeck

All opinions welcome.

On a WC myself and I've wound up with a very similar team (differences in BOLD):

Forster, Foster
Baines, Azpilicueta, Hutton, Duff, Moore
di Maria, Fabregas, Sigurdsson, Henderson, Boyd
Aguero, Pelle, Welbeck.

I've 2.1 in the bank with that team.

Dempsey · 17-10-2014 10:45PM

Jedinak or George Boyd as a 5th midfielder....

Duff is a defender. Boyd is the cheapest playing mid at 4.4

ugh realise that had to use one of my 2 FT or lose it, so just did heaton to Mannone, meh

Yes for me. I think he could have a good year if he stays fit. He doesn't need many chances to score.
I'm torn between Cisse and Pelle this week... Pelle has better fixtures and in a better team so I suppose there is my answer!

Needs a sackful of chances!

Cisse shooting stats v Swansea...

4 shots, 3 on target = 2 goals.

What determines a "sackful" in your eyes???

Do you mean Mannone to heaton ? Burnley have 5 home games in 7 and slands fixtures are stink !
Probably end up being much of a muchness though. Who the other keeper ?

No I got Mannone in, I already have duff, and my other keeper is a dud, so having 2 Burnley defensive players hasn't been a great strategy lately. Burnley also have to start going for wins - which will leave them open a bit more at the back,

If welbeck finally comes good, i'll use in the money in the bank to sort out my defence, if he doesn't i'll get Falcao in assuming he starts firing.

But much of a muchness as you say.

eh i dunno · 17-10-2014 11:31PM

Sturridge out for 4 weeks

extra gravy · 17-10-2014 11:33PM

Think I will do PVA to Gibbs even though he's made of glass. If When he gets injured, I can downgrade to Chambers.

Is that shooting stats v One team only?

mufcboy1999 · 18-10-2014 12:26AM

took a chance and brought in franky lamps for mcgeady, kept the faith with naismith to partner aguero and costa.

Could you expand on the bold part please? I'm still struggling to find my GK solution ...

Did guzan/mannone myself from the start. On rotation it has worked out pretty well for me.

O-Deazy · 18-10-2014 09:08AM

After much scrutiny, frustration and tears the wildcard has been used with 8 changes in total!

DDG - Forster
Williams - Duff
Lovren - Baines
O'Shea - Moore (Not necessary but leaves some wiggle room in the bank)
Fab - Hazard
Sterling - Henderson
Cork - Boyd
Dzeko - Aguero

Was a bit apprehensive about getting rid of Sterling but something had to give to make way for Aguero and Hazard! Was tempted to switch Costa for Aguero but it's too big a risk with his track record.

DanTheMan91 · 18-10-2014 09:50AM

Can someone explain to me why Falcoa is dearer than Costa? New enough to the game so apologies if it is a stupid question lads just curious as Costa is the most on form player in the league...

Because Falcao is the best no.9 in world football, proven it over many years so his starting price is higher.

DanTheMan91 · 18-10-2014 10:01AM

Thats fair enough I suppose.. went to swap Costa out for Falcoa but was just surprised that Falcoa cost more considering the goals Costa is banging in so far this season

Sanity_Saviour · 18-10-2014 10:02AM

Simple one.

Silva and Jedinak or
Siggy and Chadli?

Kerrydude1981 · 18-10-2014 10:02AM

Have a midfield of

ADM,Silva,Sterling,Fabregas,Siggy

Leaves me with picking two front men from these 3

Costa,Pelle and Naismith.

Have Costa and Pelle picked with Naismith on the bench

Any opinion?
