Good luck for GW1 from all at FF247!
Hey guys, i’ve got Yaya on my team, should he be an instant swap for Silva or just keep him for the Liverpool game?
(He seemed to play really defensive against the toon the other night)
Silva would have been my choice in the first place, but you picked Yaya for a reason so I’d give him another game or two at least. One blank is pretty irrelevant, unless it brings about a price drop of course, but it looks highly unlikely that either Silva or Yaya will change this GW so I’d say hang tight for now.
Since Aguero is coming back gradually, YYT will lose his penalty duties.
The question is, where will you invest the 2M you make from this move?
Yaya didn’t really look interested to be honest, the only positives I seen from him was his long ball to Dzeko for the goal and a free kick he hit onto the roof of the net. Even when playing in the hole towards the end he wasn’t getting forward anywhere near as much as last season, maybe he isn’t 100% fit yet.
Dont jump in to quick let teams settle in if he is not performing & price starts to drop after a few games then its time
Terrible gw1 – 34 points with Terry, Fabregas and Costa left to play.
Siggy on the bench over Young was a mistake but ah well, live and learn.
My concerns are:
Lamela – gametime
Chambers: gametime
Jovetic: gametime
Young: terrible
Would you make any moves this week or save the ft and hope? lol (team is linked)
I’d be looking to save the FT or at least wait till managers press conference’s to see if you have to make any moves, if Aguero looks likely to start against Pool I’d probably be looking at an alternative to Jovetic from the above list as you’ve plenty of defensive cover for Chambers, Lamela will most likely start again and you could just bench Young for Siggy.
I am having a similar GW, 35 with Cahil, Haz and Costa left.
Chambers could be good for another GW as well since now we are hearing that Kosc has a knock. So wait a bit on that, I dont think his price is going down.
Downgrading one of Young or Jove could allow you to get Sterling for GW3 in place of Lamela.
Cheers for the replies fellas. I’m planning to hold off on any transfers till fri/sat just want to get some opinions before I make my mind up
Thinking I’ll probably stick though and do a double next week.
You do still have three to play at least, and I’d imagine that most who have a good score now will only have one or two Chelsea players to go. I had a good score after Sat, but a mediocre one after Sun as the majority caught up with their ‘Pool and So’ton players. You could yet get another 20 or 30 points with those three
Actually, 34 points with those 3 to go ain’t all that bad. Two out of 4 I’m worried about and I have myself. Jovetic and Chambers. Chambers will be on bench so that’s cool however Jovetic… unsure what to do with him… Think I’ll keep him another week. Would be surprised if Kun starts vs Liverpool, could bring his injury back. Sort of laughing, just checked TotalFPL and they have this crazy chat (I don’t chat there btw) but there was this kid that said he wanted Kun and Davis for Mata and JOvetic. I have both but that would be a crazy move, -4 move at that.
Should I jump on the Chester/Clyne bandwagon?
Caulker is worrying me since he has Spurs and United in coming 3 GWs, and he could be directly swapped for Clyne, who has 5 straight easy fixtures.
Or should I do Chambers > Chester? Heard that Mert is reaching fitness, and even Kosc has trained recently so im guessing he shook that knock off already.
Thoughts? Chester could rise tonight.
Chasing defenders to save .1 or .2 seems crazy to me B, if your concerned about anything in this game it should be point production, I might be tempted to lose Mata and get off double Man Utd coverage (You already have Rooney) and bumping Austin up into a better third striker.
I am also taking into account the point production. Like i said, I cant expect many points from Chambers who should be benched at Arsenal, and from Caulker, who has challenging two fixtures in the next three GWs.
Chester and Clyne, both have smooth fixtures, but like Raz said, Chester has European duties and could fail to make it to starting 11.
Currently considering Caulker>Clyne.
I’d be more concerned with my third forward not scoring points rather than one of my defenders, I’d have more faith in Caulker scoring points over Austin in QPR’s next three fixtures.
Hey.. B..
How you doin..?
I’d chill for this week…
Maybe do both next week..?
See u went 4-3-3 this Gwk
With siggy on fire I take it Austin out with 4-4-2….?
Btw why is your team called “absolutely Fabregas”… But with no fab in ur team…?….lol
Haha. I was really fixed on getting Fab but then I started feeling dirty for not going for Haz. That man has turned my season around for the past two seasons.
Haha at least your faithful B, Lets hope Hazard repays you tonight
From what I’ve read Hazard won’t even be starting tonight. Main reason why I took him out last minute. Him and a few other WC players are supposedly not fit enough to start.
Raz, Id love that because Siggy is waiting on my bench B)
Hmmm B. Hazard will play but I think he’ll get 30 minutes or smt. Which for some players works. Can’t find the article but Hazard was included in a list of players Mourinho didn’t consider to be fit enough.
Hazard not playing tonight? No dramas.
On that note, Hazard being Mou’s fav player, he could start.
People, Hazard will play. I think Mourinho said he was one of the many WC players not fully fit yet. However, he will play. I am pretty sure he will. But shrugs, you can hope. 😉
Sorry guys, can’t find the right article but I think this one also gives a glimpse of what might happen later tonight:

Chester no, Clyne yes. Why Chester a no? They also play European matches, we’ve all seen what happened to Swansea last year.
Mehehe, I want Clyne/Ward-Prowse and maybe Pelle. Pelle was invisible last night and Tadic was pretty awful. Needs time to cope. Anyway, Southampton as a whole were really good and they deserved a draw against Money Pool. 😛
DISAGREE
Tadic was phenomenal. That dude got some serious play making skills.
Tadic was awful? Were you and I watching the same game? I thought he played well.
Yes, and I’ve seen him play in Holland. Think he just needs to keep with the level of the EPL but he’ll be fine. FFS, you get my point. 😛
Hi Raz yes I agree Southamton looked good already droped Snods for Prowse in our doubles team
Ok, let me put it like this. I’ve seen much better from Tadic. At times it seemed he didn’t have enough time to do his regular magic. Sighs, in other words I expect much more from him. So I guess that’s not awful just not half as good as he could be. The assist was beautiful but at times he was too slow. You still see the great vision though.
B
I’d stand clear of Chester, but Clyne seems to be a good buy.
Koscielny apparently got worse after the match against Palace and is a doubt for Besiktas.

Keep an eye on the following price drops Zarate , Davis , Dawson , Snods & Zaha could all go down tonight Barkley will drop tonight
I doubt that anyone got these duds in their teams.
Davis won’t drop, I think he means Davies. But either way B I’ve seen plenty of both in RMTs on here.
Sorry all yes ment Davies Tot will drop
