I actually think I'm overdoing it at times but ha... hard to change yourself . What you're doing here though is not planning ahead, it's sacrificing 1 GW at the expense of the next one. Eriksen was benched last game because of Spurs European commitments and in preparation for the Carling Cup final. From tomorrow, Spurs will face 4 games in 9 days. Will Eriksen play them all? We don't know yet (tomorrow's line-up will be a first indication). What if he gets injured? He could also drop £0.1m. And Caulker too (he's actually not far off now). So what you call foresight could cost you £0.2m and a couple of additional transfers if either or both players get injured. I call it defying common sense and taking a useless/insane risk. Now maybe you have your reasons (a key H2H game for GW28 as qwabercd said or you won't be available for the game next week) but if you don't I really fail to see your point. You could make these 2 transfers next week for the exact same cost with a lot more certainties about both players fitness and avalability and for a potential/probable cheaper price. How am I sacraficing this GW? Most guys cant field 11. I can with 3 subs playing a DGW next. I also said repeatedly I am bringing in two more for DGW next week. So no I couldn't just transfer everyone next week...unless I wanted -12 next week. Which I don't want. What if and buts.... of course eriksen can get injured...so can my 11...and yours and everybody elses...saying it could happen while true is just a stupid argument. Likewise they could both go up in value just as easy as drop. This is exactly why I don't generally post. As I see it some of ye don't understand, some don't agree, some don't care and most of ye are attacking bits of a plan without reading my original post. Which is simply frustrating. Given I have to keep repeating/quoting my first post I'm done. I'm glad you see the caulker appeal. Out of QPR/Spurs I think he has best shot at being a scoring defender (except maybe vertongen-who is one of two transfers in next week) I'll post my points after GW's. But I'm done justifying this to ye.

Remember also that all the top teams have great fixtures while QPR have Spurs and Arsenal. And you'll also lose value as has been pointed out, Caulker is likely to go down as soon as tonight. This is a forum Lucid, we will rarely all agree with each other, don't go into a huff when people question your decisions, that's the fun part of it;) We all think we're great:P

I definitly wouldnt be bringing them in at 5.8-5.9m, would much rather have a chelsea and a Southampton defender and use the rest of the money elsewhere. There's defenders from Palace, Villa, Burnley, Swansea, Stoke all above vertogehen points wise despite him playing nearly every match. For example in the reverse fixtures he scored 5 point against those 4 teams, not a chance id want him near my team

So looking for a 1 week fun punt so as to have a second playing striker this week.(Kun/Austin/Kane my current 3). Have 2 FTs so its a freeroll. 6.4 total to spend. Options. 1. Sakho WestHam v Palace. 2. Ings Burnley v Swansea. 3. Cisse Newc v Villa. 4. Diouf/Crouch Stoke v Hull. 5. Berahino. WBA v Saints. 6. Anyone else obvious I've missed.

Its complicated hopefully the above explains it. FHFC and Iroced love this theory;)
sheroman01 wrote: » Ha, cheers :P! The whole point really is to gain points on your rivals so the 2 main factors first off are; 1, is your rival going to have 11 players or less and 2, if your rival is going to take a -4pt hit too. Unfortunately we dont know this though :P But the likelihood is that a lot of peope will be taking hits and as you said now is the best time to tidy up your team!

I think Walcott might take his place at the weekend unless Wenger thinks that dropping him will destroy his confidence beyond repair (although Giroud probably did that all by himself last night)
