He'll have a few 75 minute games as usual I'm sure, but should hopefully have the goals in the bag by then. Note that as the game was not won on Sunday Gomis came on for a midfielder and Bony stayed on. If they are leading comfortably it will be Bony off for Gomis.

It's only one decision among hundreds over the season, but I can't help feeling I'll look back on this weeks transfers and see it as the week that made or broke my season.

Bony/Lukaku/Benteke all with about 10% or less ownership or less. If one of those score 2 goals, the damage will be relatively limited. But if I don't have Costa and he scores twice, I'll lose a lot of ground on him. About 60% of the top 10k had him last week, and that's only going to rise with Aguero's injury.

I'm like a broken record but if you refuse to take a hit at a time like this then you're never going to do very well at FPL, the three you've mentioned all have good fixtures, pick one and go for it.

OneColdHand wrote: » Yes it's definitely very defensive! But that's how I tend to play it. The only other player I think I'd really consider is Bony, and I already have Siggy and feel 2 Swansea attackers is too much, as they are a bit hot and cold.

Swiper the fox wrote: Have you considered the second point I made though, you've already planned your transfer for next week when something else will likely pop up to put you in a similar position to now, I don't know how best to put it but you are crazy not to take the 4 point hit this week when you have the choice of every striker in the league and a nice healthy chunk of change to spend on your next transfer.
Ziegler1988 wrote: » I don't have extensive hardcore FPL experience, but would you also recommend getting rid of Aguero this week in my case? As it stands, I'd like Austin as my replacement (already own Benteke and Bony) who is suspended. Logical choice of course would be Costa at Hull, but then I either start Yun against Everton or still go ahead with Chambers to Terry for -4. I figure the points could even out this GW without the hit (Costa goal is worth same as Terry cleanie and who knows what Boyd could do) and then I ship Aguero out next week for Austin unless another striker really catches my eye. Just wondering on thought processes
Swiper the fox wrote: » I can't get my head around this concept re Costa. If you don't rate him and think the 11m is better spent elsewhere why don't you back your own judgement and try to make ground with the striker you do want. You'll end up captaining him every week for the same reasons, this could be great for you but there's just as much chance you'll curse your conservatism. I have Costa now by the way, I think he's a safe enough bet when I have a little extra money.

Swiper the fox wrote: » So you're choice is Costa or Boyd but you're looking at letting Costa go again for week 17?? If it was me I'd bring Costa in for the -4, it's a gamble but seems to favour you in this case, Chelsea home to Hull on the back of a dreadful result in Newcastle, it doesn't happen often but it's a game I can see them scoring 5 in. I have little experience myself but I'd never be afraid of a -4, my hits have worked out probably three out of four times, sometimes spectacularly.
