His fixtures until Christmas are decent for the most part: Newcastle (A) Leicester (H) Swansea (A) Burnley (H) Everton (A) West Brom (H) Arsenal (A) Crystal Palace (H) Swansea (H)

Lemlin wrote: » I'm on the side of the fence where I have Pelle and, while not outstanding of late, he's still ticking over. I won't be moving him on until that stops. When I do, Austin is certainly a contender but I don't expect any striker less than 8 million to ever be consistent. As I said, it's about knowing when to bring them and when to ship them. Ace makes a great point above about Ulloa and Naismith. It's not so long ago that they were flavour of the month.

Both need a bit of research as to whether or how long their places are secure. Anyone know the story? Who is S Taylor covering for and is there a chance he'll keep the place? I know he's a FB but will Yun lose out in a reshuffle when Rio returns? If Moore not dropping too much price wise I may bank and do two FTs next week moving out Clyne or Forster.
PARlance wrote: » Completely agree with Ace on that. And I'm not really (nor usually) a fan of cheap strikers for that reason. Usually they become flavour and are gone before there's a chance to really consider them. What I don't really see is why Austin is being dismissed for consideration. Many will be looking to offload Pelle in the coming weeks, Welbeck also highly owned and becoming a frustration. Austin certainly would be a consideration for me. Would I prefer a mid price mid and Pelle or a Premium mid & Austin for the next month. The latter as it stands. I've already mentioned that QPR have really impressed me despite losing against Liv, Che, City, that goes in his favour, they are starting to play as a team. As does his fixtures, I don't think the next few could be much better. And I would weigh confidence highly when I'm looking at a cheap striker. He'll be chomping to get playing again after his display today. Unlike last season there isn't the same core of season keepers emerging, not just yet anyway, I'm sure it'll come. But until then I think it's all about using judgement to get as many players with form and/or fixtures into your team. Austin ticks both those boxes for me. He may flop, but so may most.

You never know what shifting Harry will do. I think he even had Clint Hill playing out on the wing I read. FWIW, I do think Moore will regain his place but Leicester aren't doing as well defensively as I thought they would.
