I’m having a terrible gameweek. I need some suggestions on the possible transfers I can make.
Aguero looks to be a must have.But who should I ditch to get him?
KP – same forward players and planning to avoid getting Aguero.
I’d spend some money in defence. Maybe get a Southampton players in for Duff, Dummett or PVA
You could do downgrade Sterling and swap Wellbeck for Aguero? Having Pelle, Aguero and Costa would be very nice but you’re always going to leave your team weaker elsewhere, especially with a 7m defender too. Other option is to maybe pick 2 out of Pelle, Aguero and Costa..
KP, much depends on Costa and his “injury”. If he’s out for a few weeks then that is your easier
route to Aguero. If Costa stays then you need at least 3 transfers to
get Kun, at which point you need to decide is it worth losing those players to get him in.
So will say yes, some no.
I’m a huge fan of Kun and as he showed y’day, is one of those
players who can transform a gameweek throughout a season. I know people
will say, “look at Tadic, 23pts” but there’s no doubt in my mind that he won’t come close to
another 23pter this season, whereas a Kun hat trick is always on the cards.
So for me, it’s Kun as a must have in my team!
Wow this weekend looks to have shaken up the fantasy world! Brilliant!
Just what was needed Villain!
18 points from 4, 19 from 5 when Hutton comes on to replace Costa.
Surely it can’t get any worse!
Though Baines going up last night now means a hit to get him in.
Who you got left Shadow?
Di Maria (c) Falcao, sterling, Sigs, Taylor, begovic.
Want Baines and Aguero in but think only a WC could make that happen.
You’ve been quite unlucky when I look at your team Shadow. Depending on how Costa looks later this week I think I might take him out.
Tell me about it, I know everyone thinks they get bad luck but I’m sure I get more than my fair share!
I’m thinking maybe terry and sterling out for Baines and Tadic. Will still leave me Agueroless though..
Kun won’t get 3 penalty’s every game. I hope. And I wonder if he’s still the number 1 spot taker once Yaya is back as a starter.
Seems FFF is close to the right formula but they’re not quite there. I see both Baines and Kun went up last night, which they didn’t predict. Good thing I replaced Sterling with Tadic yesterday. Now I have 0.1m spare, means Kun can rise 0.1m one more time. Costa however can’t go down… >.<
Still can’t believe if I went through with the transfer I wanted to make I’d be number 8 of the world right now. Aaaarghhhhhhh. I’d be on 527 points and Di Maria, Siggy and Falcao would still have to play. Now only Sterling can set that straight. Hihi. Also, Di Maria is captain instead of otherwise Kun. Still, when I check the top 8 I would’ve been in. NOBODY WOULD’VE HAD THOSE FREAKING PLAYERS!!!!!!!!!! So I dare to say I would’ve climbed up to position 5 if Falcoa/DiMaria did their job.
On that note, with my Sterling, Di Maria (C), Siggy and Falcao left to play I will still rise. Ranked 2615 of the world now,hoping after monday I’ll be in the top 2k again.
Odd, first season I was happy with a top 50k ranking even though I screwed that up by taking a 20 point hit in GW38, HAHA. Wanted to go out with a bang. Costa me 20k places and I ended up just outside the top50k. >.<
Razzzzzzzzzzzzz youzzzzzzz talking to yourself again? YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apart from the 20 point hit part hahahaha
That was my first FPL season Nosaj. 😉
Already won my mini-league (Dutch Mini-League) which at the time was the most important thing. Still, I did mess up a top 50k ranking. >.<
Oooh, the Dutch Mini-League is still the most important thing. Overall ranking is cool and you do get more obsessed with it as your ranking gets higher. However, the mini-league is still my main goal.
Impressive Raziel!!! Doing way better than me :/
Yeah, it’s still about making 1 or 2 decisions going your way. Having the guts to go with your gut. I still lack that sometimes. Last time around I sold Jovetic for Pelle and Jovetic scored 2, Pelle did nothing. The GW after that 1 Pelle started scoring and he hasn’t stopped since. So my gut was right there all along. Also, after that GW Jovetic stopped. So in the end the Pelle/DiMaria/Sterling punt paid off. Yesterday the Tadic/Kun punt would’ve paid off by a billion. >..< Unsure if I explain it right. FPL is a f-ing LIFE-LESSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :big-lol:
On that note, that decision, the Pelle one I was going to make all along. But someone on this site sort of convinced me to make that one early as it looked like Jovetic was going to be pushed away. So I decided to go through with the transfer. Missing out on those 15 Jovetic points felt less shite than the 19 from Kun yesterday.

Is dropping Costa a good idea now?
Mind games.
Really hope he’s not out for long. Like many others selling him then buying him back for .5 more than you bought him for would not be nice!
Well, all depends on how serious the injury is.
Won’t transfer him out until later in the week, would hate to be getting him back in next week for 0.4 mil (or whatever it is) more
The Telegraph and either the mail or guardian were both reporting on Friday that Costa could be out for 3 weeks.One of the reporters was that sure,,he’d taken him out of his own fantasy team !!
If there is no clarification by Friday evening i’m gonna dump him for Pelle.An on form cheaper striker with a great run of fixtures left.Just wish id had the balls to do it yesterday morning !!
Sterling starts.
Small mercies. Hat trick please.
Mignolet; Johnson, Skrtel, Lovren, Enrique; Gerrard, Can, Henderson, Lallana, Sterling; Balotelli.
McCarthy, Isla, Onuoha, Dunne, Caulker, Suk-Young, Sandro, Fer, Henry, Austin, Zamora.
Thanks TJ. You’re the best. Good thing STERLING starts.
