    Need some help/advice:
    Hart | Elliott
    Baines | Terry | Naylor | Hutton | Yun
    Hazard | Sánchez | Siggy | Downing | Marney
    Costa | Benteke | Dzeko

    I want to bring VP and dump Dzeko. To get the funds for this operation (-4 hit) Baines has to go (hat-trick against the saints?). That will leave me with 5.2 to bring in a defender. Question is… who?

    Debuchy (5.2) – Liverpool (A); QPR (H); West Ham (A); Southampton (A)
    Ben Davies (4.4) – Burnley (H); Leicester (A); MU (H); Chelsea (H)
    West Ham defender – Leicester (H); Chelsea (A); Arsenal (H); WBA (H)
    Falcao is gonna play some football over the Christmas period. I wouldn't be rushing too fast into that RVP transfer.

    LvG confirms AdM "might be on the bench" while Falcao "could start"

    If you're only looking for a short-term defender, I just noticed Hull have fairly nice fixtures - Swansea (H), Sunderland (A), Leicester (H) , Everton (H), West Brom (A). Chester and Robertson are 4.4 and 4.5 respectively.

    Confirms my suggestion above. Would love if RVP made a 2 minute 1 point cameo.

    Ah come on now! :) If Falcao starts it will be in place of Wilson.

    Otherwise same as last time, with ADM on bench to come in for Mata at some stage.

    Both main rivals have him. One 5 pts ahead and the other 50 points behind. That's why I consider getting him a priority...

    I genuinely believe that Van Persie will start on the bench for a game over the Christmas period (17-20). Only natural with so many games in such a short space of time with so many players available for that position.

    I wouldn't have any particular faith in that day being tomorrow. That part is more hope than expectation.

    Siggy out, Yaya in !

    Took a -8 hit and still couldn't field a full team last week. Came out rather well somehow as my main competitor in one league forgot to make any changes allowing me to surpass him by 4 points, and I my 10man team did better than my nearest rival in the other.

    Fabianski | Jakupovic
    Jagielka | Chambers | S Taylor [Wisdom, Hutton]
    Hazard | Sanchez | Y. Toure | Eriksen [Boyd]
    Costa | Bony | Austin

    I do feel a little heavy in midfield though. Didn't want to jump on RvP or Rooney (yet) .. Considering Mata for ManU cover, but would prefer someone who played most games. Falcao might be an option if he starts getting game time with an in-form ManU..

    Went Pelle to Giroud this week

    Boyd to Yaya for -4 done. Hopefully I'm singing this tomorrow: http://youtu.be/Hsbg9NiMRzk

    No way will their most in form player and most likely to score be rested for a potentially tricky tie v Aston Villa.

    Fellani sick so swapped with Downing , kind of glad as I think Fellani is a ticking bomb ready to be sent off.




  • Considering Costa out for Carroll which allows me to move Rodwell out for Silva.

    Giving me a power packed midfield (Eriksen, Sanchez, Silva, Hazard & Downing), and a front 3 of Austin, Bony and Carroll..

    Madness for the Christmas fixtures? Will be wildcarding soonafter...


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


    Fellani being sick has me thinking rooney will play midfield again and that Falcao will start up top with rvp. Im considering a punt on falcao.

    I think thats a very good front 8 for the xmas I reckon a lot of those 8 wont be rotated. Could you do downing to sterling the following weeks as west ham have chelsea and arsenal.

    Thats a good call..... i really could do with Rooney as captain but thats too great a risk now

    Nope, wouldn't have enough. I'm already doubting the merits of making the swap. I think I want Silva but it can't be at Costa's expense, that means it's got to be one of Eriksen/Sanchez or Hazard that would have to go...

    Also, having a Solid Front 7 and a decent cheapy mid might be a better option. Rodwell might just get swapped for a playing dirt cheap player.

    Decisions decisions.

    If lampard doesnt start on dec 26 swap rodwell to lampard for dec 28 against burnley.

    One thing I'd love to see, now that City have both Fernando and Fernandinho who can play as defensive mids, why not push Yaya forward and play him as a number 10?

    It could obliterate teams.

    And now I want Yaya in again. Think this is my toughest week for a transfer and captain choice.


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


    I'm beginning to get very, very, very worried about a certain somebody. His name is being mentioned everywhere the last few days. At least it'll be all over early tomorrow and hopefully he picks up that yellow.

    :(

    Still haven't decided who to bring in for Mirallas either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,256 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin

    I always thought that Garcia and Fernandinho were signed so both could play defensive mids and allow Yaya to roam. For me, it makes sense, particularly now with Fernando too, Yaya looks that good going forward why not play him there all the time, not just towards the end of games.

    I've gone with popular concensus and brought him in. I thought about Sterling but last season showed that sometimes you have to follow the sheep.

    and it could defo happen
    they need someone to score goals
    Silva can play false number 9 all he wants but he is very shot shy
    yaya could EXPLODE this weekend

    Mourinho expects Courtois to be fit for Monday. :)

    Just did Baines & Chadli out for Yaya & Zaba for a -4 kind of regretting it already. I hate hits.
