Definitely Berahino Baines and Clyne and Walcott. Obviously wait for Walcott to start playing first though. Matic should not be in anyones team and not a fan of Cisshoko either.

Yea Matic was a left over from week one and is always as sub as I had more pressing changes to make but I think his time has come.Cisshoko will be gone after next game week after they play QPR(chance of a cleanie!)

That definitely looks like a good back five. Would you not go for Wisdom though? He looks serious good value for me because he has a couple of assists and West Brom haven't been bad at the back.

Id certainly prefer wisdom over Moore but its realistically a transfer Ill never get around to till the jan wildcard. There is always an attacking player I want to get in.

Transferred Sterling to Tadic in out frustration of being a pool supporter! (half time of QPR game)

1 FT left. either transfer him back with either Tadic or ADM (lose 0.2 and a transfer)

or bite the bullet and invest in Felipe Luis for a guaranteed clean sheet v QPR

What? If you transferred him out, keep him out, he isn't that much of a necessity.

But I wouldn't have taken him out in the first place tbh. Should never make transfers without giving them at least 24 hours thought and analysing the various different factors for getting rid of someone and bringing the alternative in.

I definately wouldn't go for Felipe Luis. It's just another transfer you'll have to make in 2 weeks time when Azpi comes back.

That, plus I wouldn't even say that QPR is a guaranteed cleanie. I don't really know if there are any guaranteed cleanies this year!

sheroman01 · 21-10-2014 02:15PM

Have 2 FT and soo many options. It's killing me.

Do I need to bring in Wellbeck/Pelle and Baines??

Should I keep Sterling and Chadli?

All the possibilities below. Any advice appreciated!

1. Get rid of Ulloa, Sterling and Wilson for Wellbeck, Obertan/Boyd and Baines.

2. Get rid of Ulloa, Sterling and Bertrand for Pelle, Obertan/Boyd and Baines.

3. Get rid of Ulloa and Chadli for Wellbeck and Obertan/Boyd.

4. Keep Sterling, Chadli and Ulloa.

Getting Felipe Luis in once Azp got that red card has been my biggest FF brainfart this season. I'll start him against both United and QPR, but I was really hoping that the masses would go in for him, leading to price rises, but they haven't - I think a total of 80 people thought along the same lines as me!

With price rises unlikely, the more pragmatic approach is to evaluate him over the next two games and if he keeps Azp out of the squad against Liverpool, then you can safely buy him for the same price as I did.

Ye I keep thinking he will lose his place to Davies but it's looking less likely.

The way the weekend went Luis was always going to be way down people's list of priorities with Aguero baines and tadic scoring so highly they were going to be the transfers of choice.It could work out for you but as I said at the time I'd wait to see if he keeps his place when azpil is available again.

Kaboul is more assured of his place as captain IMO.

MR NINE · 21-10-2014 02:56PM

What can people tell me about chadli? I havent watched spurs much this season, only the liverpool and city games. The liverpool game they were poor, against city they looked like a threat in attack. Chadli didnt necessarily standout, but they seemed to be getting joy from winning the ball in the opposition half and attacking quickly and directly from there, which benefits their front four of course.

From watching chadli last season i was unimpressed, seemed like a bit of a dud and not the smartest player. However, he loves to shoot, which is certainly an ff asset. His stats this season are very good so far, he seems to have nailed down a starting place and is getting his fair share of goals. Im wary of relying on stats alone as ive barely seen him in action this season. Have people seen a lot of spurs? Is he playing well and likely to keep his place? Have his returns been fortunate? There seems to be a few people considering signing him and a few considering ditching him. Id be interested to here peoples logic behind their decisions/considerations

Foster - Krul
Yoshida - Colo - Naylor - Lovren - Cameron
Tadic - Boyd - Hazard - Siggy - Sterling
Costa - Aguero - Pelle

2FTs and 0.3m ITB

Defence is shockingly bad but have never had the chance to fix it until now but funds are tight. Was thinking:

Hazard & Yoshida>Chadli & Baines

Looks good on paper is there anything more obvious I have missed?

Basically he has proven to be good value so far. So far this season he has a bigger goal threat than Hazard or Sterling and well ahead of Eriksen which shows how good value he has been. He has performed above expectation but he is definitely good value. He is really an enabler allowing you to spend 30m upfront without lowering your midfield points expectancy too much.

He is a necessity in my eyes, Liverpool need to score plenty as they concede plenty. Therefore there midfielders also score high (look at henderson and Gerrard' FF points too). Sterling is the point of all that is good.

Particularly when Sturridge comes back he is a must have in my eyes.

As you said yourself, your defence is awful. Cameron and yoshida arent playing, lovren is a liverpool defender and krul and coloccini play for newcastle. All these issues need addressing, so i wouldnt use a transfer to ditch hazard if i were you. Hazard tends to deliver in big games for chelsea, and they face a poor united defence this weekend, not a time to axe him imo. He scored against arsenal and assisted against city, and he looked really good in both games.

As far as defence goes, clean sheets arent easy to come by, and are even harder to predict at the moment. I think people should go one of two ways with their defenders; cheap and regular starter, or attacking threat. Baines is obviously a big attacking threat, but i wouldnt rush to get him straight away. Id look at wisdom for either yoshida or cameron. Lovren is at home to hull this week so you may as well keep him and play him alongside naylor and a new addition. Id definitely be looking to offload him in the near future though

kolczastyy · 21-10-2014 03:56PM

Forster
Baines, Chambers, Bertrand (Hutton, Moore)
Silva, Siggy, ADM, Fabregas (Elmohamady)
Pelle, Lukaku, Costa

I did 2FT and additionally change for -4 and 0.0 in bank.

Ullola, Balotelli, Schneiderlin -> Pelle, Lukaku, Elmohamady.

Here is ready squad for GW9. I really doubt about Silva and definitely its last chance to show off. But I still deeply believe and look for differences in private league.

I know Saints will have more difficult schedule in 4 gameweeks, so need to change Forster in few weeks I guess. Bertrand could assist anyway and Pelle is obvious.

Maybe I did mess with Elmohamady (could buy e.x. Obertan and save 0,5M).

What do you propose as next moves? I'm glad with my defence but midfielders... ADM -> Hazard? Silva -> Sterling? Liverpool looks poor for now, but Silva as well. Siggy + Fabs -> Hazard , Diame? It's plenty of that...

Elmohamady... I guess you will regret that move soon. It would be better if you buy Obertan or Boyd. They are my favourite subs at the moment.

Lukaku is a good transfer I think (refering to Everton fixtures). It would be a great captain option.

If you want sell Silva, think about Spurs player. Eriksen/Chadli would be options. And Forster -> Lloris. Liverpool has decent fixtures so you should have their player. Henderson is 90 minutes guarantee. Sterling could rest after Madrid match. Coutinho/Lallana also options.

Cheers

This thread shows that, as people were predicting in the Matchday thread, the events of this week have thrown peoples teams up in the air a bit.

From very quiet transfers threads lately every man and his dog is now considering multiple options. Its bloody exhausting!

Having looked at multiple options where I was definitely getting Tadic, then definitely getting Baines, then definitely getting Eriksen I'm now thinking simply swapping Siggy to Tadic (which will require a change of keeper from Forster to either Howard or maybe even Sczesny). Have 2 FTs.

I'm basing this on Siggy being the worst performing of the template 4. Would like to give ADM and Sterling more time.

I think this GW could well be a defining GW when we look back on the fpl season. Majority of people are dropping one premium mid (Sterling/Fab/ADM), a lot are punting on Baines. Add Tadic/Pelle in to the equation. Ramsey is back now and a proper differential with a great set of fixtures. The Walcott factor. I'm loving this game right now. So many permutations and i can see a lot of differentiation in teams going forward. Fpl is at its worst for me when teams are overly-similar.

Yeh Lovren has just the one week left but will try extract a little value out of him this week and then move him on! Only reason to ditch Hazard would be have the funds for Baines and I would fancy Baines & Chadli to outscore Hazard and Yoshida quite comfortably its not a transfer I would want to do otherwise Hazards time will no doubt come and with United then QPR having fairly obliging defenses then this could be his time! That basically just leaves the money already in defence to rearrange it which doesn't really give many options and none of them particularly attractive Wisdom looks OK for this week but fair from someone you want to be playing too often! I guess Yoshida, Lovren & Cameron > Wisdom, Alderweireld & Kaboul? Something like that. I wish we had a mini defender only wildcard so I can rip it up and start again!!

Yup. I'm thinking myself I'm going to avoid the Tadic route. It'll leave me with no Southampton attacking cover but if Welbeck can match or better Pelle then I'll be grand. I'll miss out on price rises and making cash but so be it. I'll probably go down the Baines route and I'll need to sell Sterling but at the moment his replacement won't be Tadic. This is all subject to change!!

Yeh it makes a great change to the clear template teams which have emerged in the last few years there seem to be so many more options this year.

Similar mindset to myself. Have Welbeck also and have stayed away from Tadic/Pelle. Have already got in Baines myself and had to ditch Fab to do so. Sterling stays. Thankfully not for a hit. Things can go really any way though going forward. But definitely more interesting i think.

Hard to argue with Tadic he has stayed under the radar but he has been putting up big numbers its just a shame he exploded the way he did now the secret is out!

Yeah his stats were fantastic, he was due a big week. I'd have had him in but was maxed out on Southampton players.

To be honest, in that case, I'd be reassessing your required criteria for making a transfer rather than this one individually.

Never log onto the website, decide on a transfer, and make the transfer all in the one sitting.

There needs to be a stepaway period where you reevaluate and there should be no circumstances where you break that.

People who don't do that will frequently make mistakes. Realistically, you should be making your plans in the early stages of the previous gameweek, readjusting them based on what happens in the gameweek, but not actually pulling the trigger until the last possible minute where you won't suffer any negative impact from not making it earlier (price rises/drops etc)
