Lemlin wrote: » I take your point to be honest. At the time, I didn't expect Kane to keep up his form and I had Eriksen so didn't want two Spurs. WBA had just had a couple of clean sheets and I didn't think they'd score 3 against a Pulis team.

Don't get me wrong, hindsight is 20/20 and if Pelle had done what Kane did and viceversa I'd be tipping my cap to you, but I think in rational terms (ie. without hindsight) Kane was still a better choice despite the more difficult 2 fixtures. Holding onto a player you already have and don't need to transfer in, while he is still scoring plenty of goals, doesn't signify sheep to me, it just makes sense.
Lemlin wrote: » I thought he was a far better option when playing Swansea. I was swayed by the fact that the week before in the Cup, Blackburn's 3rd choice striker Josh King had led the Swansea defence on a merry dance.

Scored 2 pts home to Chelsea. You'd have played Foster I guess. The other good rotations with Foster are Hull & Newcastle. McGregor got 3 pts away to City (you'd have played Foster here too) and Krul 2 home to Stoke (maybe a 1 pt gain here). Then Forster? His pts only come from CS. This week for once he does make saves but gets a YC. Panti scored 4 with 1 goal conceded. His form is unbelievable I'm seriously targetting him after the GW27-28 madness (though I feel he'll turn crap when I'll get him in :rolleyes:...).
FHFC wrote: » Yeah, was thinking of a rotation partner for Foster after these 4 fixtures, but by then I'll have Kane welded into my forward line for the rest of the season so I'll possibly have the cash to look at DDG, or maybe Forster in a Saints double up.

She goes and bench him (PvA ahead) but Zouma does not feature and 12 glorious pts come off the bench . Delighted for her . Why getting a playing sub-keeper? Uselessly spent cash isn't it? I had enough of the rotating keepers strategy. Too many pts on the bench. My heart can't stand it anymore :pac:. I don't know enough the PL teams and their defensive patterns for rightly (on average) guessing who's gonna do best. So unless all the big guns get long term injuries and we have plenty of cash to play with it's a no no for me. I'm just raging against myself about Panti because I made the GK analysis and told everyone how good a prospect he was. But as you said Foster & Pulis have to be given time (at least for the next couple of fixtures).

iroced wrote: » 49 all in. Down 2k to 22k. a bit surprised by that... 3 players today. 5 pts . My Pulis trio is gonna kill me for the run in... I'm very close to get Panti in just out of rage right now :mad:! Really should have followed my own analyses on this one.
