not worried about the cup ?

realistically it's a distraction as i probably won't win - i avoided hits last few GW's cause of CSF's cup.

i had 10 players this week, i don't have any city or chelsea defenders - so i need to sort that out - i also have RVP who was subbed after 60 min and with Falcao back may not see much game time, Costa has actually being a terrible signing for me points wise.

Zab went up in price so I'm 0.1m off from him. Sickened. Would Kolarov be too risky to bring in?

Can't you bring him in with a 4 pts hit? e.g. if you own Siggy and/or Costa which are injured/doubtful/out of form/rotation risk/ahead of tricky fixtures... ?

Lemlin · 23-12-2014 07:20AM

I let Zab rise last night so he's out of the picture now. Need to wait for news on Hazard.

sanket · 23-12-2014 07:29AM

Hi guys i dont post here regularly but i read abt 90% of the posts here..congrats to all those who broke into the top 1k in the weeks passed..

Need some insights..shd i keep adrian or get hart for a 3 week punt..since i already have clichy im concerned..also i want to get benteke but im not sure whom shd i sell bony or costa...sanchez and haz seem rotation risks and downing seems in 2 pts for the next 2 games..

Adrian ..myhill
moore clichy chambers hutton n taylor.
downing haz sanchez yaya cork
austin bony costa

AdpRo · 23-12-2014 09:17AM

Convinced at least 1 of Hazard / Sanchez / RVP will not start this gw, will leave me in major trouble if 2 end up sitting it out.

Shedite27 · 23-12-2014 10:03AM

I'm very worried about my midfield for GW18....
Siggy (yellow flagged, missed last week)
Hazard (yellow flagged, went off injured last night)
Sanchez (looked absolutely shattered on Sunday, well overdue a rest)
Larsson (again, looked absolutely shattered Sunday, was through one-on-one in the 90th min and fell over he was so tired)
Yaya - should be okay.

I need 4 of them to play, don't really want to sell Haz/Sanc as I've made so much on them.

Lucas Hood · 23-12-2014 10:39AM

Are people bringing in Downing not worried about Song, Kouyate & Sakho leaving for the Acon in the New Year?
That is a big part of their team missing for a few weeks.

Deco99 · 23-12-2014 10:39AM

Went Berahino/Costa to Benteke/Giroud minus 4

Line up for friday is:
Forster
Bertrand - Ivanovic - Chambers
Eriksen - Hazard (v) - Silva - Mata
Benteke - Kane - Giroud (c)

Bench

Schmeichel :rolleyes: Siggy - Wisdom - Schlupp

Hopefully good enough, have resisted going for Downing, Sanchez, Austin Bony, as i'm only imitating the top teams then and after making up 60 points in last two GWs with slightly off centre choices (silva captain last week, Hazard Week before) I've to differentiate to compete.

Really exciting differential front three!

Hey guys. Just a quick question.

Thinking of selling Eriksen for Sterling.
Good idea?

Liverpool have some really nice fixtures coming up

kolczastyy · 23-12-2014 11:05AM

I have a few doubts over my team. I did well last GM, but in general I'm still in 52k so need improvement.

My team:
Forster - Hamer
Baines - Chambers - Bertrand - B. Davies - Hutton
Sanchez - Hazard - Downing - Silva - Barkley
Bony - Costa - Austin

tempted to get rid of:
- Baines to Zab
- Chambers keeps me in suspense...I worry he'll get some rest.
- Sanchez the same as above
- Costa case with YC and no bonus points. Really consider to get rid of him to Benteke.

0.0 ITB and 1 FT.

I read that entire topic and nobody thought about James Milner? Isn't good sub? he could be good in Barkley place in my team I think.

Speaking as Liverpool fan I would say don't do it. Liverpool have nice-ish fixtures, but those teams will also be looking at Liverpool as being a nice-ish fixture too. Sterling doesn't look as dangerous up front by himself either, he needs someone ahead of him to make space for him to run into or to pass to.

At 1.1%, 9% and 6% ownership I'll certainly gain ground if they perform. I've been reading a lot of whats posted here since I got knocked out NFL fantasy and i've gone up from 600k to top 100k in past two weeks. It seems making decisions early in week and trying to guess ahead of curve can pay off.

I was considering this too. I captained Eriksen last week - bit of a gamble - and while he didn't return anything, he was heavily involved so think I will give him another chance. I then read this this morning from FFS which made up my mind to keep him.

8 chances created by Christian Eriksen in Tottenham’s win over the Clarets. The Dane goes on presenting himself as the complete all-round Fantasy midfielder, offering strong creativity and goal threat on a weekly basis. Eriksen created more opportunities for others than any player on show in the Premier League this weekend. That’s no fluke: over the last six Gameweeks, Eriksen tops the midfield stats for chances created (22). His goal threat is also consistently strong: Eriksen had another four attempts on goal against Burnley. Over those last six Gameweeks, he’s fired in 19 goal attempts – only Santi Cazorla and Yannick Bolasie can better the Spurs man over that same spell. Eriksen has, however, relied on efforts from range, with only four of those 19 attempts arriving from inside the opponents box.

SantryRed · 23-12-2014 11:28AM

Just noticed that the Chelsea-West Ham game is at 12:45 on Friday. Might hold my transfer until Friday morning incase team news leaks of players missing from the squad for the day.

- Baines to Zab
I think Zab is perhaps the second safest from rotation, Hart being first.

- Chambers keeps me in suspense...I worry he'll get some rest.
I think they would like to, but they have other injury worries. He'll play both over Christmas IMHO

- Sanchez the same as above
He could easily get a rest. Have a strong bench.

- Costa case with YC and no bonus points. Really consider to get rid of him to Benteke.
I'm like a broken record regarding Benteke. I don't rate him in FPL as he is an 11-million striker who cannot be relied on as a captain. Benteke and 3 million >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Costa.

Lemlin · 23-12-2014 11:40AM

All this talk of rotation is making my head hurt. I'll be doing the same as I've done every other season -Picking my best eleven to start and the best captaincy option available. Whatever happens after that happens.

You might as well be pissing into the wind trying to predict it e.g. Bony being rested last weekend before the madness even kicked off.

I had eriksen capt also and watched the game he didn't have any real chances and apart from one chance for Kane wasn't overly involved. I'm not saying this as in he is a bad option as I think he is a great option. More that I'd be wary of relying on a lot of these stats that ff sites are producing. The stats often don't paint a true reflection on the reality.

While teams aren't officially announced there does seem to be an increase in correct info being leaked out eg wilson starting against pool mig being dropped. Costa not on the bus before palace .

but are you sure is sort of quite consistent player? I'd think about him like a volcano which erupts once in a few GW. I have Downing, it might be a little bit gambling and I could be bias, but still is Spurs players, never knows...

hufpc8w3adnk65 · 23-12-2014 12:00PM

Ddg (pantilliom)
Zaba azpil vlaar Taylor (ncastle) yun
Tiote bridcutt Sanchez Erikson hazard
Costa sakho bony

I'm shifting 3 players Tiote bridcutt and most likely costa

Looking at jedinak kane and either di Maria or cazorla have 1.8 banked. Any thoughts lads?

I think eriksen is a great option and well worth keeping. I'm saying the stats don't tell the full picture I watched the game as I had him capt and didn't feel hard done by with his 2 points despite what those stats indicate. Earlier on against arsenal I had silva and he got 2 pts I came away from that game cursing my luck as he had great chances and created great chances

Yep. All you can do is have a strong squad and let it happen. A number of rivals needs to take lots of hits or get incredibly lucky to avoid a disaster of a week.
