RMT? I have used my FT.
Marshall
Coleman – Collins – Olsson
Hazard – Walcott – Nolan – Lucas
Suarez – Lukaku – Remy
Subs: McGregor – Dawson – Chester – Silva
Avoiding taking hits despite of having around 4M in the bank, as i just read that Collins might be fit to play against Fulham. Kind of arguing now whether to play Dawson over Lucas.

Great work HL!! I guess I should be doing this, but you do it so well….;) really appreciate you posting this for the site!! You are hired!
Mito, nw mate š …
Init told me you are all on a well deserved vacation – so I respect that !
It was not a big deal, really…
Hahaha, vacation? I think he meant he was on vacation. š great work mate, whoever sees this will be most appreciative. Also makes it more obvious why people need to get on Twitter and follow top accounts like @physioroom and @fantasyfooty247
Sorry could not resist a plug.
I started to use twitter just because of you guys, and I have to admit – it helped a lot…
Lots of useful info – from FF247 (yourself) and a few other acc’s…
Think it is ur job to popularize twitter inside the FF247 community – and you are doing it fine š …
Terrific stuff…was and is my favourite posting of the GW
:thumbup:
YW…
HL once again thanks for this, greatly appreciated. Cheers mate
Stuff like this is greatly appreciated HL. Cheers fella
Glad it helps :beer: !
HL love it mate thanks so much. Didn’t see this earlier as I was being harassed by a combination of my wife and Bench! Seriously. But yeah really appreciate it it’s a massive help to everyone. :thumbup:
hi Doc, good stuff
Nice work HL, cheers!
So it seems like Ravel won’t play after all, so I guess I’ll sell him then. I have identified 4 potential replacements (have 4.8 to use):
Mutch (Ars A)
Bannan (Nor H)
Livermore/Huddlestone/Koren (Liv A)
Ki (Villa H)
Redmond (Cry A)
The one I transfer in will play, therefore Mutch and the Hull mids don’t look very appealing. I don’t think Norwich will get much against Palace either. Bannan has only gotten 1 goal and 1 assist and seems to get subbed practically every match. Ki has also only 1 goal and 1 assist, but usually plays 90 min, has an easy fixture and takes pens. He seems to be the best option to me. Thoughts?
Ki until you WC
I could also bring in Navas for Silva…
Tekno i think Ki offers solid value. The upcoming fixtures are decent, and is he on PK duties too?
I went with Bannan – he looked pretty lively against Man City – ok, he was subbed, but he played 81 mins.

Evening guys! Looking forward to have your thoughts on this: I’m not happy with my team, I’ve a team value quite low (103.4) and I’ve planned to play my JanWC in GW21 to try to sort out my team and expecting to raise some value in those 10 days break.
Should I use my FT to ditch Silva (just bought him last week, at 9.3) and bring another big mid like Nasri, Navas or Cazorla (have Oscar and Wally and no funds for YYT or Hazard) and next week with the WC bring back Silva for the same price? I also have Ravel who might not play. Any inconvenience I’m not seeing in this? Silva’s price might fall again to 9.3 tomorrow.
Albertini – not the worst suggestion in the world. I’m actually considering it myself. Like you, I’m more than likely to play my WC straight away (will also help in building team value very quickly during the early rush), and I have my other WC in hand as well. Silva is part of my long term plans. My current midfield is Eriksen, Fer, Hazard, Walcott, Silva. I could ditch Fer for say a Henderson, but will also consider ditching Silva for the week for say Gerrard (I’m watching the news closely to see how likely it is that Gerrard will play). I’ve got my WC team already planned. GO for it, I say.
Cheers blue_moon, forgot to tell I’m also keeping my season WC as well.
Also thought about Gerrard, it’s only I reckon he won’t get many game time this week, most probably will play some 30 to 45 min, if confirmed fit.
I’m leaning to Cazorla at the moment, good fixture and not many options available at Arsenal with Ozil and Ramsey out. Wilshere could be a nice punt also.
Yep, fair call Albertini. Will give that some thought myself. Good luck and happy new year mate.
Thanks mate, likewise!
Evening all!!
