It seems like I can't really have both. Baines seems "essential" but he really is expensive. As for Costa I reckon it's not inconceivable that he could turn into last season's Yaya if his situation isn't sorted out. -A conundrum with ADM. Trying to fit himself, Sanchez and Hazard is proving impossible without a 4th mid who costs roughly about -3.5 :pac: Especially so when trying to fit Costa and Baines in. He plays City and Arsenal in the next 3 games but also Palace, Hull and Stoke at home in the next 5. -Cresswell is somebody I've been thinking about for about a month and talking about for a couple of weeks now. 2 assists in 2. I really want him but 5.4 for a WHam defender is a luxury that isn't possible when taking the above into account. It's probably either Baines or Cresswell who could be seen as a Baines lite. -Choosing a GK is tough If I'm going to WC I probably need to get the wheel in motion tonight or tomorrow at the very latest. I guess I can't have them all though.

Forster / Mannone (S) Konchesky Clyne Ivanovic (Subs Taylor /Duff) Siggy Chadli Di María Fábregas (Sub McGeady) Pellè Welbeck Agüero Changes for this week? Tempted by the switch back to Costa if he is fully fit? Is Ivanovic banned for 1 game now? Not showing? Tempted by a Ivana out Baines/Coleman IN. Think a lot of people who have KUN will switch back to Costa given the "easier" game

If you want Baines/Coleman, I think the better option would be to downgrade Sterling and get the cash that way. In terms of Arsenal cover, waiting for Walcott might be the best option.

With that in mind I'm going as cheap as I can in the defence and GK while still having the possibility of a clean sheet. For me Baines is too expensive for what he is. Cresswell appeals to me, if only he was 5.0m he'd be a great option. I'm tempted to put in Jakupovic for Courtois but if McGreggor is back soon if seems a wasted transfer. Upfront I have Welbz-Aguero and Dodgy Costa. Welbz is possibly out for me after this week. Enner Valencia looks a good option, maybe Abel Hernandez too. If I was to go cheaper Sakho, Eto'o and Berahino look well priced 3rd striker options. But Costa is tormenting me. I'd prefer if he was out for a few weeks and I'd bring in Pelle,Bony or Lukaku but the fear of not having Costa if and when he scores highly frightens me enough not to pull the trigger. In midfield I've got ADM(Walcott in here?) Fab(going nowhere unless Hazard pulls ahead in points scoring) Eriksen(meh Tadic probs isn't going to score much more) Lamps(need to get rid,looking at Barkley,Siggy or Mane in 6.5 category) and Cork(4.4 playing midfielder with a slight chance of scoring/assisting can't ask for much more) So yeah any opinions welcome

Mr.Prodston wrote: » There's been scenarios with my tinkering that has led me to looking at Brunt at times. Always good for ticking over and has a great set piece delivery for 5.4. Berahino is probably better value within WBA at 5.9 but for a 4th mid that's surrounded by heavy hitters in almost every spot you could do worse.
