    That wouldn't be the most headache inducing squad. Austin mostly seems to do well at home and same for Siggy; not sure how well they rotate in terms of that.
    I think B is stronger and Bony has been outscoring Costa lately anyway

    Cheers, think I will go with B then. :)

    Who are most bringing in for Aguero?? Snowed under with work so haven't had a chance to keep up with the forum this week and 14 pages is too much work to go through :pac:

    Already have Costa and Austin! Thinking of Holding Austin for the week and bringing either Bony or pelle back in for Aguero until Dzeko looks sharp again!

    Or i could take a -4 point hit and bring Yaya in for Boyd and play 3-5-2 for the week!

    All opinions welcome and appreciated!

    Be wary of Pelle, he's on 4 yellows. Yaya is too but I think I'll bring him in anyway!

    Can do chambers tadic and Aguero too zabelletta silva costa with .1 too spare for a minus 8... Was going too wait till next week for silva but doubt I'll afford him now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    Reaing the Jose quotes I don't believe a word the man says, Costa will get a run out tomorrow night, wouldn't bet my mortgage on him starting.

    Low risk to bring him in before a dead rubber where he's getting a run out to improve his sharpness. I'm chancing it.

    Yaya and Bony for Aguero and Boyd -4 done.

    Thanks for all the points Sergio and SGB what can I say? :( I love you man, it's nothing personal but I have to do what's right for business. Now for some double Ivorian delight. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    Aguero makes way...
    ...Sakho comes in.
    I debated a long time the merits of Bony but already have Siggy. I'm afraid Bony+Downing > Sakho+Siggy at least currently. I hope it'll change. Hopefully Sakho's back to his "Septober" form.

    Have £8.2m in bank now!!! Don't think that ever happened to me. Yaya stop looking at me like that please :mad: :pac: !

    I went with Bony in the end. Will ship Siggy out after this weekend because I'm not happy having three Swansea.

    Austin and siggy rotate perfectly I'm also going with a strong front 8 till Jan wildcard. It means benching austin this week ,siggy hull away ,austin arsenal away ,siggy liverpool away over the next 4 gw's. Chances are ill need my bench player anyway due to rotation for a couple of those weeks.

    Aguero and Barkley out benteke and miralles in for -4

    Forster
    ivanovich, jagielka, baines
    hazard, ya ya, ameobi, miralles, wanyama
    costa (c) benteke.

    Happy about aguero tbh...freed up cash to get a big hitter in midfield next week and Austin will be off the bench too.

    Very expensive defence. 2 Everton defenders seems an unnecessary gesture at that price too. You could improve your midfield by downgrading Jagielka to Yun or Dummett or Hutton or somenone like that, whichever you don't already have.

    Edit: it'd be more valuable to see his scores with or without Aguero last year.
    Yeah I was thinking this myself, is there any site that holds historic data like that.

    If I remember correctly, Yaya pushed on mainly in the second half of the season, while most of Aguero's star performances were in the first half of the season. Aguero was croked for most of the second half of the season.

    Yun dummet and austin are benched this week but good suggestions

    Dont have figured but he did really well while he was gone last year.

    For this reason I got rid of Siggy last night. Got Yaya in. I still have Downing as a result, Bony my Swansea cover & Yaya as City coverage. Better balance to my team as a result. Can always downgrade Yaya to Silva in a few weeks to free up funds


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Siggy against his old club Sunday it's inevitable.

    Ya I was thinking this as well but sometimes tough calls got to be made!

    I have been stung with Dzeko before so not sure yet. Might plump for a City defender if Yaya can avoid his inevitable booking for a few weeks. It's hard to call City at the moment with rotation and everything. If someone said to me last week I would transfer Fab & Aguero this week I would have laughed at you. Who knows with this bloomin game:P


    My front 8 at the minute

    Yaya --- Hazard -- Downing -- Sanchez -- Tiote

    ---- Bony -- Austin -- Costa


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 77 ✭✭wreckless if true


    Aguero to rvp done.

    Yeah I guess it all depends how long yaya keeps his feet on the ground really for me too. I can't understand why more aren't picking up benteke... he is gonna have a good run im sure. I almost csptained him over costa this gw but figure costa wants to beat aguero this season so will make the most of his injury

    Plenty are bringing in Benteke, he's the biggest gamble out of a lot of good options imo.

    While he's on form, he's playing for poor team. He has also lost Westwood through injury against Leicester, a fairly big loss to a poor midfield.
    That and the fact that he hasn't played enough competitive games since his own serious injury are my reasons from staying away.

    He's an animal and he could go nuts all on his own but there are better options out there for me.

    Indeed thats when I hope aguero returns for switch back. If ageuro back by 17th


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Ashley Westwood is out for up to 4 weeks I saw on Sky Sports there. Lessens Benteke's appeal a bit as he was was feeding through a lot of balls to him

    Benteke is a one man operation..he can feed himself :)

    Chambers, Austin, Fabregas (suspended), Aguero, Duff (Injured), Albrighton (Doesn't play).

    I can't field 11 players this week without dropping 8 points. Wildcard time? I really don't want to use it.....

    If your squad's in decent enough shape anyway, then it comes down to whether you think holding your wildcard till later in the season will net you 8 or more points.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,206 ✭✭✭Lucas Hood


    A lot of people will be at least - 4 this week. It's a good week to have to take a - 8 IMO.
