The deadline bell has rung and your decisions are final – starting XI, order of your subs and most importantly your captain has been decided and there ain’t no turning back now…
GW12 was a bit of a disappointment on the whole for most fantasy managers but here’s hoping GW13 can bring that smile back to your face. We begin with a Saturday lunchtime fixure this week as West Brom welcome Arsenal and this is followed quickly be no less than six games at 3pm and Saturday is rounded off nicely with an evening game as Chelsea travel to the Stadium of Light to see how many own goals they can force Wes Brown to score…

Mitro
Morning all!!
3rd consecutive red arrow!! My OCD is all over the place!!!
Anyway no time to dwell! I have taken out ADM to hazard!! Don’t know what to do about Costa!! I won’t lose anything if I sell him!
This is my current team
TheDreamers
Mitro – if you were to remove him, is it just for the one week? If so, no – if for more, might be worth it.
Brookyboy
Personally i’d hold Costa, hold back on the hit and have a look at strengthening your defence.
hammers
Morning all.
I will be struggling for numbers next week with no costa etc…. Already done ADM to siggy but left with a possibly injured baines, an injured yun and a non playing Moore and S Reid
Should I just take the 0 or take a -4 changing either
Moore to S Taylor/ Bartley
Reid to Boyd/Ameobi/ Marney
Thoughts anyone?
TheDreamers
hammers – is Yun definitely out?
hammers
Don’t know for definite. Good thing is that we will know the starting lineups before deadline so can make the final decision then
Brookyboy
Call me a cynic,but does anybody else think that Costa was out to get a yellow card on purpose yesterday,so he would miss the midweek game,considering the claim by Mourinho that he cant play 3 games in a week ??
Cookie
Morning Brooky, it was the first thing I thought mate.
Brookyboy
Morning Cookie.Yep Knowing how cunning Mourinho is and how hell bent Costa seemed to get himself in the book knowing he would miss the next game.Suprised the commentators didnt pick up on it.In between going on about the chelsea xmas party!!!
Cookie
I reckon their party will not be as lively without Cole there to provide the “entertainment”!
HL
Ashley Cole or Cheryl Cole :hippo: ?!
Cookie
Carlton!!
Brookyboy
Nat King !! 😉
hammers
Wouldn’t surprise me at all.
TomW13
yeah. It’s possible. But Jose could’ve just rested him instead of a suspension
FDMS All Starz
If he did that, then he will still be a yellow card away from suspension… now he has none and gets a rest at the same time.
vivriti
hey guys…can you guys suggest any improvements for my team? who should i replace begovic with ?
alsom i still have 1 mil in the bank.
Cookie
Vivriti, good morning – a glance at your squad tells me you have too much cash in your defence which is limiting your midfield options.
Over time I would:
turn Ivan into Azpi and Jags into Baines or Coleman
Sell Clyne for a cheapie
Sell Dier for a cheaper def
Try and upgrade Schneiderlin
Sell Begovic for Guzan.
All stuff that can be done week by week, maybe with the odd hit if required.
vivriti
thanks a lot! btw i already have guzan and wanna sell begovic for either fabianski or de gea…
any suggestions on a good goalkeeper? Also could you suggest a few midfielders?
thanks again!
Cookie
Foster will rotate with Guzan.
Re mids – depends what cash you have left. Cheapie I’d go Jedinak. Lower mid range prob Chadli, higher mid range Eriksen, Silva may return soon.
vivriti
thanks!
Brookyboy
Courtois or Fabianski.I’d be looking at downgrading a defender and upgrading schneiderlain too and play Berahino over Dier.
vivriti
thanks for the help…
but fabianski’s upcoming fixtures look like he wont keep cleansheets….or else i would have got him straight ahead… so do you think he’s worth the risk?
HL
Fabianski won’t keep a cleansheet ?!
They have the 3rd best schedule ahead , after Che & City !!
vivriti
qpr has austin, and totenham will be hard too…
but i agree his chances are way better than the others…
Brookyboy
Or you could downgrade Begovic to a non playing 4m keeper and play guzan every week up to the january wildcard and use the cash towards upgrading your midfield.
vivriti
thats a really good idea! But what do i do this gameweek? im starting to really fall behind in my league….so do you think theres anything i can do for immediate improvement?
Brookyboy
I”d hold my transfer and see what happens during the midweek games.If you dont get any injuries downgrade dier to a cheap defender and swap schneiderlain to Chadli.
Brookyboy
And dont forget to take the armband off costa !! 😉
jamesimmo
Morning lads! I had a great 18th but FPL has definitely not been my present…
My team is below. Before Di Maria / Costa ‘happened’ I was going to do:
Downing —–> Boyd and Clyne —–> Baines (if fit)
…on Tuesday night. Now, I’m thinking either:
A – those moves but with Di Maria —–> Hazard for a hit (wait no – damn – 0.1m short!)
B – instead of Downing out, Di Maria to an 8.8m midfielder to fund Baines
C – wildcard this shit and sort Duff / Moore / Zamora out too
What do we think? I’d appreciate any help, especially this time, as the room’s spinning and it’s taken me quite some time to type this! 😉
Cookie
Hey James, Happy Birthday mate, glad you had a good time, plenty more weekend hangovers to come for you my friend!!
Right your team – I would sell ADM & Moore and buy Jedinak & Baines (if fit).
Play 3-5-2 this week and then deal with Zamora.
jamesimmo
Thanks Cookie, haha aye, it’ll only get better as everyone else turns 18 too!
That plan sounds solid, and if I did then Zamora —–> Austin would probably be my next move, giving me a very well rounded squad.
However, not sure if I’d like that. Bojan / Siggy rotation failed for many in GW1 so I’m reluctant to start a Jedinak / Austin rotation really… also means I’d still have Clyne, who’s far too expensive to bench, which is why I was thinking about the wildcard?
HL
Welcome to adulthood, James 😉 !!
Personally – I would do Di Maria to Chadli & CLyne to Baines – can u afford that ?
Cookie
HL, he still needs cash to deal with Zamora though
HL
Yeah, u r right…
Completely forgot about that… :noshake:
Raziel
BAD HL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BAD BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jamesimmo
HL – cheers – yep I could do those *and* deal with Bobby…
Raziel
Dude, you’re 18 now. Start fixing your own problem and stop asking other adults for help. :rant:
jamesimmo
Can I still ask monkeys though?
Raziel
Since I ate your birthday cake, you’re allowed.
jamesimmo
Nooouuuuuuu! *sobs* fine… I was saving that piece.
Horse
Hey Cookie. With two clean sheets on the bounce for Sunderland, looks like Wes Brown is becoming essential
