Any sign of Raz tonight?
Ok chaps here it is…Bigpopz squad for gw20
Defensive dilema…your help needed
Speroni / Davis
Coleman / Merts / Chester / Moxey / B.Turner
Yaya / Hazard / Wally / Delph / (Silva)
Suarez / Rooney / Lukaku
Who does Moxey play for?
Redmecca…
Crystal Palace..!
I know its a long from AC Milan .. But that’s what I’ve got to play wiv..
Btw luv the Grav…Maldini ..one of my all time fav players….pure legend..!
*long way from AC Milan
Mate, he was awesome. Retired at 40 (and his shirt number retired too) and was still one of the most physically fit players at the club.
Check out this footage……particularly from 0:25 to 0:37 seconds
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3WeVch62t4
It’s the two I need from this lot I’m struggling with..
Moxey / Chester / B.Turner / Delph
Well clearly Coleman & Merts are a shoe in.
Chester and Davis benched.
Q is do you double up on Palace. Personally thats a yes from me, considering your other options.
Cheers Drexl….
Palace against Norwich… Maybe worth the double up Gamble…!
Coleman/Mert/ I’d put Chester before Burner.
Cardiff will have a load of problems against Arsenal but I think Hull will give Liverpool a game.
Now you have clarified, I agree with Drexl, I’d put Moxey in before Chester.
Cheers Red…
What’s your team looking like…got any transfers tips going into next GW ?
Red…
Just checked out your team…you got some tinkering to do..!
Silva / Ćzil ..what you got planned..?
It’s linked mate, I already made my change Oezil>Walcott
I’m thinking of playing my Wildcard immediately though and could do with someone to have a look at my proposed squad.
It kind of dawned on me yesterday, as a relative newbie, how much of an impact “team value” has – if it’s not much above Ā£100m, a load of changes won’t really make that much difference.
Red…
Can’t wait to use WC eh…?
I’m a tinkerman & I’ll find it difficult to hold on to mine for a month…but my plan is to do just that….?
Bigpopz
Its hard to choose there. Moxey should be out of equation due to his recent elimination from starting 11. He could come on as a sub and just give a point.
Flip a coin between Chester/Turner. And yes, Speroni is preferred at the back.
A good team, im rolling in Lucas too this week, lets see which one of our unlucky masters scores more.
Haha
walcott or suarez as captain?
Suarez for me..!
It’s a difficult choice for sure.
guys i am in a bit of a situation here, i have 5 players who are looking unlikely to play next match what do i do, who do i play???? :
Team:
ruddy/mannone
flanagan*/dawson/collins*/distin/baker
walcott/morrison*/yaya/silva*/sterling
rooney*/lukaku/suarez
who do i play and what transfers do i do.(Ā£1.2 in bank and 1ft)
Take a 4 point hit – two transfers will give you 11 outfield players won’t it?
I’d go Rooney > Negredo and Morrison > Bannan – sorted!
rooney looks to be the likeist to play, so y transfer him, i was thinking more like morrison to milner and collins to alcarez, is doubling up on everton risky? and milner may not start but i dont need him to start because my mid will be back after nextweek, good plan ?
Fdms …
Not a good plan..
Let me get this straight, your about to take a hit on a player who you said May not play…& that’s ok with you..right..?
If you take a hit on Morrison to Milner ..& Milner don’t play..( probably won’t anyway) ..why not just leave Morrison in then & save yourself 4 points..?
Have I got that right..
Not havin a go or anything…just don’t add up to me..!
Just to add..
I think if your gonna take a hit ….make sure it’s for someone who’s guaranteed to play & ideally gonna make up the 4 points you’ve invested in them..!
Good luck
the thing is i just need a mid around 5-6mil to play good for this week,in other words the best option there is milner seemed a gd option considering silva isnt playing iam sure milner will start, iam not looking to start all my mid every week so i will sub him till i use my jan wc, if there are better mids then i will consider but for now milly looks to me to be the best option.
Fdms..
Don’t drop Rooney ..he’ll be back for sure..!
You got 3 defenders who’ll play Daws,Dis,Baker…so no worries at the back..
Concentrate on that midfield..
You got options..
1. Lose Silva > Hazard
2. Lose Morrison > Barkley / Januzaj / Shelvey….plenty of 5-6m mids to pick….only for 1 GW till jan WC clearout..?
hey can someone rmt and give me any suggestions for my team comment 42 thanks just above
Anyone
Am4r7…
Your team looks sound…
I’m guessing your just itching to use tha FT ..right..!
If so then poss downgrade Terry > Merts…or Marralles > Cabaye..
Or Both if your a Tinkerman…like me..!
Good luck..
Aha I am mate just brought Mirallas in I think I will keep him and thanks for the advice man
dawson against man u?, how about collins to alcarez(2 everton def) and morrison to milner?
short term punts which i think may pay off, or should i just do one of these transfers and save the hit? any good defs around 5mil up untill jan?
I have Collins too, and im hearing that he might make a surprise return to starting 11 against Fulham.
not as bad as it looks..to me…rooney good chance of starting…keep silva (no question here) and simply swap out Morrison who is erratic both in starts and points….and just get a cheap mid in depending on you Ā£’s…barkley has 3 good fixtures up next and is starting almost all games now…mutch and whittingham both returning points per pound, tho difficult run, or one of the nrowich guys (great fixtures tho poor form)…but major surgery not needed here…max 2 trfs
FDMS, silva to haz + away you go, 11 starters.
A good replacement for terry?
Am4..,
See above
Guys looking to get in Everton’s back-line, and have failed to get on the ColeWagon, should look out for Alcaraz.
In absence of Jag (probably a month), you can get Alcaraz for 4.3M. A decent attacking defender who might not match Coleman’s potential of scoring, but might still bring in decent points.
considering it myself, do you think its wise to double up on evetons def, i have distin already maybe alcarez aswell? everton havent done well at the back lately but have nice fixtures ,u think the punt could pay off till jan wc?
FDMS
I consider doubling up on defence as blasphemy, as i dont get it. Its a high risk high return approach, so i try diversifying.
The next three games are against Stoke, Norwich and WB. Doubling up might work out, but Everton is without a CS in the last 5 games.
