What are you guys thinking abt Sigurdsson? He’s going up by 0.1 tonight? Would you do an early transfer to get him?
praveen – I think he will go up the full 0.3 in the week so I would bring him in and hope he doesnt get injured. I feel (gut) injuries are more likely in later season. Go for it.
Dreamer, what about for a 4PH!? 😉
who is your other transfer and can you avoid it? If not, then ya I think I would.
Dreamer, Young and Holliett to Siggy and £4.5 mid (Bentelab or Tarore I’m thinking). Any thoughts?
NZ – Bit early to be taking a hit i think. Can you get him in for a straight transfer? ie no hit?
NIN, nah not really; not getting rid of Mata, Ramsey or Fab and unfortunately the other two are not worth 6mil. happy to get rid of them both for him. Its the age old; 4 points or 0.3 in the bank 😉
Alex – prob as Hoilette didnt start I think. Siggy wont get a goal an assist every week though
TD. I know but I want his value rise and I was eyeing him up preseason too. Thanks for the points though.
Alex, i’d take a hit at this point, and especially for siggy with those good fixtures and this early in the season. Now is the time for hits and wildcards for me. Get on the players you want. Plenty of time to catch up.
praveen – Once it’s not for a hit then yeah, i’d buy him before his value increases.
Thanks Dreamers and Nin!! Will be making the transfer tonight.. Eriksen->Sigurdsson..
Do you guys know what time the prices increase?
around 2 am uk time
Praveen- about 2am mate. That will also free up a pleasing amount of cash but did read that Erik played well today!
Hahaha. Sums up Man U’s day really! http://www.sportsgrid.com/soccer/bird-poops-in-manchester-united-winger-ashley-youngs-mouth-video/
When Mirallas is fit, where will he play? Pienaar played well today too and linked well with Baines
TD – I didn’t see much of the game but i’d imagine he’ll take McGeady’s spot, even though he scored a peach.
TD, I though McGeady played well today so feel he may hold his spot (sorry NIN!) I think it’ll be worth watching closely to Martinez’s comments. Are you thinking of getting Pienaar in?
Not yet. One for the watchlist.
Im looking for a Chambers replacement with only 4.5m. I guess the obvious is Chester.
TD, his stats look good from today and judging my a few injuries he should continue to start. Although it does sound like Hull where very lucky to keep a clean sheet today!
alex – any other suggestions – have 4.5m. Already have van AAholt and Baird in the low priced category.
TB- Vlaar would be my sneaky, outside bet! He played well and, although I don’t expect too many CS’s from Villa, he is also a guaranteed starter. Chester would still be my pick, played well and fixtures on his side. Good luck mate.
TD- Kelly at palace is also a handy 4.5 mil defender. He looked to get forward too. I guess it may change when the new manager comes in though.
cheers lads
I think it will be naismith that loses out when mirallas is back fit. Lukaku up on his own.
Any suggestions for a £4.5 midfielder; did anyone see Bentelab or Tauore play? Will they continue to start? Thank you fella fantasy managers :0
Bentaleb did play okay in my books. Nothing fancy because I did not see him that much. But with the return of guys like Dembele his gametime may take a hit. So defo not a nailed on 4,5. The most nailed on 4,5 would have to be Tiote but then you would be nailed on to get on average 2 points from him every game! 😉 Wait for price rises and if you can upgrade to a 5.0 midfielder then you would have a bit more choices.
KungFu, Thanks mate. Im toying with downgrading Hollett and upgrading Young to Siggy so need a 4.5 mid to do it. Maybe Bentaleb will do that role nicely; better to have a guy that might give me more than 2points! What you think? Cheers mate
Agreed. Tiote being injured for now. I really don’t see a good regular starter at 4,5. In my mind having a 4,5 midfielder is a waste because they are so weak. Better take a punt on having a 4.0 defender and being able to afford a better midfielder. With that being said Bentaleb may not even score you 2 points per game! So in the 4,5 category you have Cattermole and King who may play more regularly than Bentaleb. And perhaps Cattermole is the new Ramsey?
King fu! We can only dream! Yer I hear what your saying. I’m a bit worried on Neil Taylor, only made it to 50 odd minutes! Maybe he could make way for Hutton. Anyway, how did you go this week?
NZ! I have no cheapie midfielders so can’t really recommend any other. Very slow start for me with Siggy on the bench. Hoping for 1 of 3 Chelsea not to play or outscore him? Not too much to ask for huh? 36 points…Fab, Cahill and Costa to go! And I am guessing that if Luis does not play you will be happy!
Kung fu your spot on! Knowing my luck he’ll come on for a 5 minute cameo, concede a penalty and be red carded!!
Is Naismith nailed on to start every game ?
Don’t think he is. To be honest I did not see the game but considering they have just signed Atsu (for him to sign I heard Mourinho wanted him to have regular first team action) and Mirallas is coming back to shape I would think Martinez would change formation as to fit them both and Naismith’s time on the pitch may be sporadic like last year. Or as a replacement of Lukaku in some games. He could be good to have on the bench but not a nailed on starter. Just my views and not being a Toffee fan I may get this all wrong!
Cheers Mate !
Anyone else had a blinder in MLS? I’m on 32 pts with Moor left to play. Captained Porales who only played 23 min. Brought in Wondo who missed a pen. Only 0 goals and 2 assists for my entire team!
Morning Tekno, i’ve jt had a look and made some transfers. Sitting at 49 currently with Boswell to play tonight. Decent score i think. Not many have gotten 70+ by the look of it.
69 with Boswell to play. About time i had a good one.
Super super FCDallas bargain striker got me 19 on his own.
Nice.
