What's your opinion re Collins? He's only 4.5. I know he's under threat from Tompkins but on Twitter it was said that Tompkins was passed for on Thursday and still didn't make the Matchday squad.

I think ever fan is hoping Tompkins can become the guy, Collins is a liability. Sam seems to like him tho. Not much help to you, can see them being rotated a lot during the season

That's my fear alright. Although Collins seems to have the position now because Sam isn't one to change a winning team.

I have two free transfers.

Looking at Falcao and Hutton out for Pelle and Bertrand.

Team is currently

Krul
Chambers Dier Wisdom
ADM Henderson Fab Siggy
Costa Falcao Aguero

Any thoughts?

Was thinking of benching di maria this week but are these big games not the type of game you tend to get a mdfielder to have a great game. Should be cagey with a bit of skill or a pass that will unlock both defences

You can't bench adm in any game if you own him.

Veering toward no transfer, its not that I'm particularly happy with my team, but cant see any single transfer I want to make this week. The changes I'd like to make would involve a points hit and not sure if that would be worth it this week.

G1032 · 01-11-2014 12:19PM

No transfers for me either. Was thinking of bringing Chambers in but decided against it. He picks up a lot of yellows and there have been a couple of instances where he should have been sent off. I just don't trust either him or the Arsenal defence. Van Aanholt still has to go but I'll stick for this week.
I feel I've missed the boat Ramsey style with Pelle. Welbeck better produce today or he's out next week.

Took a boring transfer this week, Wilson --> Chambers

I reckon we've 9 games till Debuchy is back, 6 of those are decent fixtures. If he can just sort out his yellow card habit we'll be golden!

Might have been a boring one but looks like it could gain me 18 points today

I have a quandary.
I have 1 FT and 0.9 in the bank.

Forwards are Pelle, Aguero and Wellbeck. I really want to get Costa in but will have to downgrade a midfielder by 2.7million to do so (Have Sterling, Fabregas, ADM, Siggy (Tiote) in Midfield)

My Plan is to raise the money to do Wellbeck to Costa by selling Sterling for Downing, but Sterling is at Newcastle this week while Welbeck is at home to Burnley and this will cost me -4pts. Is it better to stand Pat and do the same move next week for no hit? Or will I be missing out on a potential bonanza from Costa.

Opinions please

This hasn't worked out well with Downing's big haul. At least Wellbeck got an assist and Costa Blanked, I've already done sterling to Downing for this week, but considering getting Sanchez in for my 2nd transfer....

IsMiseMyself · 01-11-2014 06:09PM

I sold Jagielka for Cresswell on a whim. I was expecting plenty of goals in the Everton/Swansea game and I though Cresswell was gonna make it three for three with assists.

My transfers haven't at all worked out the last few weeks.

Right. Here's my defense for this week:

Ivanovic (QPR h) - Wilson (WH h) - Clyne (Hul a) // Wisdom (Lei a) - Naylor (Eve a)

How do you rate getting Chambers in bearing in mind I only have £0.4m in bank)? Chambers has a great chance of a CS this week but after their run of fixtures is not particularly CS-friendly (Swa a, MU h, WBA a, Sou H, Sto a).

I feel my options are the following.
i. Selling Clyne is out of the question since he has at least one great chance of a CS at home to Leicester next week.
ii. Selling Ivanovic saving some useful cash. But having kept him to that point it would be silly to sell him ahead of a home clash vs QPR wouldn't it?

So it's between Wilson and Naylor.

1. Wilson has WH and Burnley in his next 2 home games.
2. While Naylor is facing a 3 games run of low probability CS (Eve a, Ars h, MC a -- even CP h is not a given with Palace scoring in most of their games, 7 times out of 9 games to be precise).

3. Bank my transfer, swallow Chambers probable CS and trust my current team.

3 was my decision. Painful it is. I'm still not convinced by Chambers future prospect but his today's points hal would have accounted for it.

Cheers.
Do you agree with my defense selection then

I'm debating putting Wisdom ahead of Clyne. On one hand, Hull have scored in 8 of their 9 games (just for their 0-0 at Anfield). On the other hand, Leicester have always scored at home (they did blank 4 times out of 5 away though, I know they play at home this time but it just shows they're not an attacking machine).
Actually Stoke have only 1 CS at home out of 4 games. And if they hadn't got this abnormal one in the Etihad Stadium it'd be their only one in 9 games. In addition WH scored in all their games bar the opening one.

Played Wilson. Shouldn't have had a look at CS odds. I had all the info there not to play him. Ah well...

Wtf did I do?!

I couldn't have made a worse decision if I tried. And I get the added bonus now of getting to hold on to Welbeck!!

Have an itch to get rid of Siggy.

Was gonna bank my 2nd ft but Siggy to Chadli maybe worth it over the next three weeks or so.

Current team for this GW.
Forster,
Clyne, Moore, Chambers
Fabregas, Hazard, Sanchez (c), Siggy,
Costa, Pelle, Aguero
Subs: Hamer, Boyd, Duff, Hutton

Wish I'd given this more though. Siggy to Downing woulda been pretty sweet.

Fair play to you, I've seen Siggy as dead wood for the last couple of weeks, but had other priorities. Will probably do it now and catch the rises at least.

Cresswell transfer is just a mistake. Hope not too many got caught up with the hype. A total of 1 today in an easy fixture.

Siggy>Oscar Reid>Dummett for -4 risking a double up on chelsea midfield to get the differentials in for my mini-league.

Guzan (Mannone)

Chambers, Dummett, Bertrand (Moore, Hutton)

Downing, Sanchez, Oscar, Di Maria, Fabregas

Aguero, Pelle (Campbell)

I think most of us were just monitoring him. Personally I don't think he'll justify the 0.9 extra he is than Collins.

Re "easy fixture", I think for any defender less than 5.5, you can only really expect clean sheets in home games.

That said, West Ham have only one clean sheet so I think monitoring, as I said above, is the best tactic for any of their defenders.

Southampton defenders are as reliable as it gets at the moment. Much better option.

They have a tough run coming up after their next game. I already have Forster and while doubling up has worked the last while I wouldn't do it for these fixtures.

Chambers finally fulfilled his potential yesterday. He's superb value IMO. It's very rare, if ever, you get a defender at a top 4 club for 4.6 mil.

Agreed. He might lose his place when Debuchy comes back but may as well ride the cheap opportunity while it presents itself. I've had him since day 1, only starting to pay off the last few weeks but serious value in having any defender from a top club at 4.5 (original price)
