Silva (151, 147, 184, 144) -> average of 156.5 points YaYa (241, 142, 139, 146) -> average of 167 points Fabregas last 4 PL seasons (205, 108, 214, 128) -> 163.75 points and then look at Baines (169, 177, 134, 178) -> average 164.5. Yes, I've only picked three players but they are very much all a premium midfielder in FF terms and I haven't all night for further analysis...... Baines is basically a premium midfielder for 7.1m. Very difficult to argue against having him when looking at numbers like those above. My only decision now is who to get in for Sterling as I make room for Baines. It's either Tadic or Henderson. Might go for Tadic. Could get a price rise out of him and ship him off in 4 weeks time.

Tempted to get Eriksen for him but Tottenham looking poor enough although they have 1 top 4 team in their next 9 game including Newcastle at home next

Clyne -> Baines Sterling -> Tadic Ideally I'd not bring Tadic in but this will give me Southampton cover which seemingly everyone but me will have and I'll avoid taking a hit. I'll keep Welbeck and have 0.3 itb. Next week if there are no injuries etc I can do Fabianski to Forster if I want Southampton defensive cover back again. Any opinions on this?
jive wrote: » Seems a bit of a horizontal move. Only reason to do it is price but I'll likely keep Hazard for the season, suspension/injury permitting, and I'd expect him to outscore Fabregas comfortably enough.
PARlance wrote: » I'm trying to get Baines & Coleman in now Coleman had 11 more points than Baines last year (I think he played 4 more games). So even with Baines on set pieces, Seamie is a match for him. Can't see it being any different this year either. They got their pricing right with Seamie at 7m... The buggers

Swiper the fox wrote: » Well that is a superb retort.:) But honestly, do you really believe that Fabregas will continue to outscore Hazard this year. I'd say the likelihood of that happening is minimal.

FHFC wrote: My only doubt is that I'd like to keep Clyne for the longer term past this golden run of fixtures as he's going to be a good enough option to rotate after that. Forster is my only keeper so he'll have to go in four weeks or so.

He's had solid returns this year, and if ya look at his fixtures up to the Jan Wildcard, there's a lot of games you'd fancy him to score...Hull (H) Newcastle (A)Chelsea (H)Crystal Palace (A) Stoke (H) Leicester (A) Sunderland (H)Man Utd (A) Arsenal (H)Burnley (A) Swansea (H) Leicester (H) Sunderland (A)

My only doubt is that I'd like to keep Clyne for the longer term past this golden run of fixtures as he's going to be a good enough option to rotate after that. Forster is my only keeper so he'll have to go in four weeks or so. I'd pretty well decided to leave Baines but kinda have me sold. I could do those same two transfers and have 1.0 left in the bank. Is it a no brainer? Current team Forster. Hamer. Clyne. Chambers. Duff. Moore. Hutton. Fabregas. Adm. Sterling. Siggy. The Boyd Wonder. Pelle. Costa. Aguero.
