NIN
I’ve just realized that the FPL Cup starts next GW. That time of year where FPL managers pull their hair out because some twat who isn’t even playing the game, hammers your team. Great.
HL
Perfect timing for the CUP, don’t you think :hippo: ?!
Afternoon, mate 😉 !
NIN
Afternoon HL. How’s your GW going?
HL
Not bad, not bad…
Can’t complain…
60pts with 3 still to play (Azpi/Haz/Costa)…
Cpt Silva did the job for me 😉 …
How r things on ur end ?
U already made 2 transfers for next week ?!
NIN
Nice one mate, great (c) returns :thumbup:
I’m having a bit of a shocker so far. 46 with Hazard and Costa to play. van Persie (c) didn’t work out. Oh well. Yeah i’ve made my transfers already. Another bloody -4 hit :shake:
photek
haha this is true Nin, some random ghost team hammers you with an outrageous captain choice that defies all logic
NIN
Indeed. Vertonghen (c) for his only goal of the season or some such BS! It adds amusement at least, i suppose.
Raziel
First FPL game I ever played (two seasons ago) I capped Vertonghen. HAHAHA! And he got me a lot of points that first game, incredible.
Didn’t know what I was doing though. HAHA!
HL
Who said that now you do (understand the game) ?! :hippo:
NIN
Raziel
My rank says 3k. I think I have an understanding. 😉
Anyway, says the guy that never dares to share his team. :big-lol:
Raziel
Hmmm, hoping that with Cahill, Fabs and Costa I’ll reach the 1000 points tonight. Would be cool, after a terrible start and a terrible captaincy choice. Sighs.
Raziel
Wait, I have Haz not Fabs.

Hi folks;
Please can you help me with my transfer(s) for Boxing day?
Here’s my squad:
Adrian (Mannone)
Clyne; Jagielka; Clichy (Taylor; Hutton)
Sanchez; Downing :Siggy; Hazard (Jedinak)
Costa; RvP; Austin
FT: 1 Bank: £0.2m
I’m looking at 2 options:
a) I think I want rid of Jagielka -who would be a good replacement for him with a budget of £5.8m?
or
b) I thought about replacing Siggy with Eriksen and therefore replacing Jagielka with a £4m rated defender (for a 4pt hit). Who could that be?; and am I stretching myself too thinly in defence in terms of quality if I do that?
Thanks for your help as always

Silverback
Hey Blue your Def is ok although Clyne has 3 tough fixtures after the nk GW Eve fixtures don’t look to bad until 7th Feb Clichy will have rotation problems Taylor / Hutton good Don’t forget Jedinak will be of to Acon soon So if I where you I would do Clyne & Jed Nk GW save FT this wk good to go
blue_serge
Thanks Silverback – any ideas who you’d replace Clyne and Jedinak with mate?
I think Clichy will play on Friday, as Kolarov played in the last game
Silverback
Yes Blue Im hoping Clichy will start nk wk I would say Janmaat , Cresswell or Wisdom and Mid Walters
blue_serge
By “next week” you mean Boxing Day??
Thanks for your advice Silverback.
HL
Raz – just kidding, mate 😉 …
Yeah, gotta admit your season is far better than mine…
Ranked 235K atm…it is what it is…started from GW2 though…
Had a few good wks, at last…
Raziel
I know mate, it’s cool. I think we both were joking? 😉
KI
NIN,
Is it time to let Baines go? Everton’s defence has really disappointed. And, if moving down, but not Citeh, where does one go? Back to Clyne?
Silverback
Hi KI I would say you need to offload either Baines or Colman & get a City or Che def
NIN
KI – Yeah, i think it’s time. Southampton’s fixtures are still pretty rough so i wouldn’t go there. Baines’ replacement will depend on budget really. Chelsea defenders are the obvious route i think, unless you need to raise funds for other moves.
photek
If I had Baines I’d get rid of him on current form. Without City, its tough to find a consistent performer, maybe go down the rotation route of cheaper defenders and use the Baines money to bolster your attack.
am4r77
Hey guys, I’m on 49 points with hazard, Cahill and my captain Costa to play, so I’m hoping these guys preform.
Does anyone know why bony and siggy didn’t play?
I’m thinking of getting rid of siggy, but not entirely sure who for, any suggestions?
am4r77
Any other transfers that need to be made?
bambiano
Am really considering Bony to Giroud his form has been good and at Home to QPR I really like his chances of a high score
Silverback
Hey am4rr77 I thk because Bony is off to ACON soon he was seeing who to play in is place & Siggy has a knock but should be back nk wk you haven’t got many choices for Siggy @ that price maybe Chadi now he is back in team
am4r77
Hey silverback, yeah I was looking at getting rid of bony but probably after this gameweek, I got rid of Chadli for Downing, so would it be pointless to get him back now
Raziel
Yo AM4, I found a nice thing to do. I’m gonna do Sakho to Austin this GW, next GW for a hit (last game of the year) I’ll replace both Bony and Siggy with Jovetic and Sterling. :dance:
Raziel
Not transferring out Baines just yet, have other headaches. Plus, you’ll see, the moment you transfer him out he’ll go on a rampage again like he did earlier this season. It’s not for nothing he is still amongst the best 3 defenders. I think Martinez well be annoyed as …. as will the Everton defenders and they’ll put an extra lock on the defense the next couple of games. It’s kind of freaky that Baines had 5 quiet games and still he’s amongst the best 3 defenders. 😉

Raz I’m with you there on Baines. Hold hands. He’s not got a bad run ahead and surely won’t be quiet for much longer.
Cookie
Baines. Jinxed. There you go, sell him :hippo:
inittowinit
Sold 😉
HL
Haha..lol
NIN
Done 😉
bambiano
He will come good no doubt… Problem is by keeping faith are you losing out in other Areas? At the moment I think a packed Premium midfield is a must Silva Hazard Sanchez Eriksen even Sterling now he is playing up top are all too good to ignore imo… If Keeping Baines means you are missing out I wouldn’t hang around to long you can always get him back
