I have Courtois but might just take the hit of having no goalie this week and have two transfers this week. This is the team for this week as is. Any suggestions welcome. Schwarzet Bellerin Alder Cedric hazard sterling Walcott Milner Rooney (c) Kane deeney Think Milner is a bit pricey in that midfield so Cabaye is the most likely replacement. Probably save the transfer to bring in Aguero/downgrade sterling to someone else

Thinking of banking my transfer and going with this team: Fabianski Williams, Mertesacker, Gomez Depay, Sterling, Fabregas, Walcott, Sinclair Rooney, Benteke Subs: Schmeichel, Wilson, Bassong, Azpi The plan would be to go Walcott/Sterling > Cabaye and Rooney > Aguero. No wild card, no points dropped. Thoughts?

I am considering playing the 2-5-3 chip as well it must be said...

I'm sure there is some statistical disadvantage with this. If you wait a week to use the bonus you will have 3 players at home and two against weaker opponents while you should have more knowledge on whether Walcott will start or not based on this weeks performance.
Potential Underachiever wrote: » Good point about them nearly all playing away, I guess I'm struggling because Mahrez would normally be benched easily but hard to do that when he's on form, who would you bench of the 5?

Paully D wrote: » Mahrez should be benched IMO. I also feel it's far too early to say he's on form after 1 week. He scored twice at home (one a penalty) against an absolute shambles of a team going up against a full back who clearly had no interest in defending and who gave up at 2-0 down. He'll struggle massively to get a similar tune out of the very good Aaron Cresswell this week for me. There's just no point paying £8.5m+ for midfield options and then leaving them on the bench against the likes of Palace or Villa.
Paully D wrote: » Too many question marks and very knee-jerky IMO. For example, it's completely unknown whether Payet, Wijnaldum and Mahrez will continue their excellent week 1. That midfield could look awful in a months time and considering how cheap it is, your season is done if that happens. I mean, how do you come back from that with no wildcard? I think your current team is overall actually better for the time being but you're being bogged down by what happened in week 1. Give it a couple more weeks and things should look a little better and by then, Aguero and Sanchez should be firing on all cylinders at a prime time to get them in.

SpaceCowb0y wrote: » Ah I won't be wilcarding just messing about. I brought mahrez in this week with my FT for redmond. Same price but redmond didn't start so was a straightforward move. Of all those cheapiah players I do plan on getting wijnaldum in soon. Had him pegged as soon as Newcastle bought him, reckon he will be key for them this season, has a great record for PSV

Ace2007 wrote: » You don't want to bench Mahrez, because he's high on form and will be confident, but you have no problem playing 3 up front, of which none scored at the weekend. Personally i'd probably bench Depay out of them all, but if you want to play him, then i think Sakho would end up on the bench.

Ace2007 wrote: » Your defence couldn't possible need that much surgery after one GW - i'd guess you have at least 3 starting players for next GW, so at most -8 to fix it. While your right about you have to use it before 2016, why not wait till the transfer window closes, if untied buy pedro - will you be able to afford him if he hits the ground running without destroying your team. If costa starts banging them in - will you be able to get him in? You would be just better off starting a new team from scratch with the average being so low this week.
