    What is more urgent?
    1. Anya 98% towards a drop
    2. Silva injured.
    3. Francis, Gomez to be switched for better options.
    4. Targett, Myhill to be eased out over time
    1 FT 3.2m in bank.

    1. Anya to Fletcher looks good and gains you an instant .1 cash.
    2. Silva will most likely play at the weekend (check the link on his name)
    3. Francis is fine as a 4.5 he's one of the best ones atm. Gomez is definitely a rotation risk and if you've made money on him you need to prioritise moving him before you lose it, you can leave him till next week though.
    4. Targett might get another rise so i'd hold thunder on him right now. myhill you have a few weeks to look at options like gomes, butland or begovic if you want to spend a bit more.

    Do you still have your WC ?

    If not I'd be prioritising 1 and then 3 and then 4 (but I look to build early value and if this is not your overarching strategy then you need to assess it with different criteria.)

    I'd rather Dawson. WBA are keeping cleanies and have great fixtures, no need to double up on Chelsea.


    Cheers

    Myhill has been one of the best keepers in the league unless he makes a few serious errors i don't see him losing his spot anytime soon.

    Is Walcott appearing on anyone's radars yet. Giroud is in awful form and Walcott should get a run up front.

    I really want to get De Bruyne/Silva in for Citys 2 big Home Fixtures in GW8-9.

    Current midfield is strong though.
    Pedro-Payet-Ayew-Mahrez-Sinclair

    Who to bring him in for?

    Factors to consider are:
    • Strong front 3 of Aguero, Martial, Wilson.
    • Ayew-Pedro also have 2 Homes.
    • Mahrez almost undroppable, Payet in good form.
    • Only have 10m so may need to do it this week.

    I'm in a similar situation and I don't think I'll be bringing either in.
    I'll probably do Darmian --> Kompany/Sagna and double up on City defence instead.

    I'm debating it. I have a strong front 8 so cud maybe take the risk. It's Walcott,Mata or moses.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,657 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    i'm debating KDB or Mata for Silva for a -4.

    Am I mental?

    You know Silva is hoped to be back this weekend? For that reason hardly worth -4.

    Yeah not a bad shout actually. New and Bou will find it tough against that City Defence.

    But City could also score quite a few, so might want more attacking coverage than Aguero who still hasn't got it going.

    We must have quite similar teams.

    If you are I am too because I'm debating the exact same moves :p!


    Silva's much too dear to be a bench fodder!
    Between Mata & KDB, City's fixtures are much much better outisde this very GW. Now the worry regarding KDB is what when Silva will return? In CL he shared gametine with Sterling. Was it just to ease him in? He can't be a sub considering what they paid for him. Same can be said for Sterling though. So Nasri will have to make way, right?

    How sure about that though? He was also supposed to play last week-end. I can't sincerely give Wanyama THAT much gametine now :pac:...

    The media are trying to blow his comments about Costa out of proportion. It's a nothing story.

    Terry wasn't rested. He was dropped due to poor form. You don't rest a player against one of your biggest rivals

    I think he was dropped mainly because Mourinho predicted Walcott was going to start ahead of Giroud. Zouma did perform well, however against Arsenal so he could maintain his place. I still wouldn't risk Zouma with the rotation between the three defenders.

    Running at -12 so far and maybe one more to complete team surgery.

    Drastic action needed and hopefully my two gambles pay off.

    KDB,Martial, Pullisball and more to come.....

    Posted MEN article in other thread which gives nothing definite admittedly. Dinnery tweet on the matter fwiw was "David Silva, Vincent Kompany and Wilfried Bony are ALL expected to be fit for Saturdays' game at White Hart Lane #MCFC"

    The thing about switching to KDB is that we don't know exactly where/how he will operate when silva does return. Will he be wide or central. Will one of them will end up being the "assist the assister"?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,081 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Wasn't it rumoured that Pellegrini wanted to sell Silva? I can see Navas being dropped and Silva out wide with KDB at 10.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,672 ✭✭✭ScummyMan


    Gomez - > Evans
    Gomis -> Martial

    For a -4, ready to pull the trigger but waiting till aftertonight's games in case of injury/ somebody changing my mind.

    i agree. i hadn't seen news of Silva's injury. if he's expected back then there is no way I'm doing -4 for it.

    what in the name of fúck would he want to do that for? Silva is pretty much the best player in the league.

    I think there was speculation about yaya being sold.

    Anyone recommend a transfer...

    Myhill (Rose)
    Smalling Kolarov Gomez (Prodl Taylor)
    Barkley Sanchez Mahrez Yaya (Fletcher)
    Aguero Wilson Martial

    3m ITB
    I'm gonna leave the GK situation while Myhill is playing
    Gomez losing his spot is worrying, maybe Bertrand or Zouma there.
    Mid I could do Yaya or Sanchez - Anyone (Bruyne or Hazard?)

    GK - Agreed, fine for now

    Def - You need to move Gomez on, he's a rotation risk now and with a non playing 5th defender you need your other 4 nailed on. Bertrand for 5.3
    could be a very shrewd signing. Take a look at Cresswell for 5.6 also.

    Mid - It looks good. Some people might tell you to get Chelsea in for their decent upcoming run but who would you take out? I think YAYA and Mahrez are must haves (personally speaking) and surely Sanchez will finally convert a few of those near misses.

    Att- Same as mine, ride the Martial wave and see where it takes you.

    Have 2 FTs. Thinking of going Ward and Gomez -> Nyom and Bellerin leaving me with 2 itb.
    Had wanted to get Azpil in but didn't have enough, any other thoughts on this?

    Already have Kolarov, Alderweireld and Dawson. Maybe Francis instead of Nyom.

    Good moves. Look through the next 6 GWs at least and see whether Francis or Nyom rotate better with your other four

    Need to shift Gomez next week at the latest.

    Rest of my defence is Kolarov, Naughton, Souare, Martin.

    I sell Gomez at 4.6 so switching to Moreno for a cost of 0.1 is tempting. But Liverpool's upcoming fixtures don't look too hot for clean sheets. After Villa they've 3 from 4 away vs Everton, Spurs and Chelsea with Soton at home. However as part of a 4 into 2 rotation Liverpool, Norwich, Swansea and Palace give reasonable fixtures looking 10 weeks or so ahead. But is Liverpool's defence worth investment?

    The other attractive option is Bertrand but despite being good value at 5.3 is in relative terms costly at 0.6 more than Moreno and would leave me with 3 x 5m+ defenders. This option gives very good rotation fixtures. I'm just not sure its worth the extra 0.6.

    Any insights would be great as i can't make my mind up at all on this one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,369 ✭✭✭the incredible pudding


    Dawson or Evans from WBA? That's who I'm shipping Gomez out for anyway.

    I'd go for Dawson considering how injury prone Evans has been in the past.

    I'm a big Bellerin fan. Dunno if you're willing to spend 5.6m but it's easier to start from a good stock of Kolarov and Bellerin every GW and then downgrade one later. Souare is running into the good fixtures just not sure if they'll keep more than one in the next six

    Thanks a bunch lads. I started off with 2 alternatives and now i have 4!! :)

    Yeah, I'm leaning that way myself. I think Evans is more likely to get bps and is a bit cheaper but i'm not sure the risk is worth it.
