Moreno not even on the bench!? This FPL weekend just gets worse for me.
Ouch!
If Sterling goes big here I’ll have massive transfer headaches……. And if there is any team he will go big against, it will be QPR…… Still I want him to go big to boost my mediocre score
Would be nice!
go big and then break a leg is what i say!!
Good call hahaha!!
Sterling is already moved out for me. The fact he’s so tired and fatigued and him playing midweek is just too much of a headache. Really like the kid though. Anyway, now I have 3 Soton and 2 United. Which is good. They don’t have European games.
Any one thinking of getting rid of Naismith now Barkley is back?
Afternoon all! Really confused about next week, and need to do the transfers soon to avoid price rises. I want to get in Baines and either Tadic or Pelle. If Costa is out for a while (anyone know btw?) then I can do Costa >> Pelle and Duff >> Baines (I’ll have 0.0 after this!). I can also do Fabregas >> Tadic and Shawcross >> Baines, but very hesitant to sell Fab. Other option is Sterling >> Chadli and Shawcross >> Baines, but then I don’t get any Soton attack. Here’s my team.
Don’t sell Fab, I reckon he is a season keeper. Mr consistent.
Sell ADM then? :hippo:
Veer – Best to wait until next Friday so we know what’s what with Costa. Sterling and Welbeck look the main two who you could downgrade. Aguero, Di Maria, Cesc, Sigurdsson and Costa (once fit) are untouchable.
That’s what I thought too, but prices are going to rise a lot by then, right?
Probably. If Tadic becomes out of reach then there’s always Mane
Yesterday was a freak result. That sort of carnage wont happen again this season, not from Southampton anyway 
If you read what Fabregas said after the game yesterday regarding his deeper role you may change your mind about that.
So what did he say? FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????

Deep shmeep
He’s racking up the points!
Does this make logical sense to do this?
Barkley and Hutton in for Zaha and Moreno for a four point hit. This would leave me with a front seven of Barkley, Siggy, ADM, Silva, Sterling, Welbeck, Pelle and Costa on the bench.
Then the following week I could either do Silva and Welbeck for Aguero and Boyd (wouldn’t play) or, if Costa’s injury continues-Costa to Aguero.
Seems sensible as I can bench Costa without selling him with a strong front seven..also without Moreno playing it makes sense to get rid and jump on Villa’s good run of games.
Or…given Pelle’s fixtures at GW13 maybe him out over Welbeck?
Was thinking the same. Also look out for GIroud though, he’s coming back earlier than expected.
Good point! Hadn’t even thought about rotation risks! I fell like this is my best course of action with Costa’s injury!
Wow, too many exclamation marks haha
Raz, there’s at the very least a month until we have to worry about that 😉
Well he wants to replace Pelle in a month with Wellie, so he has to worry about it when he does. 😉
AT – It would make more sense to just wait and see what’s up with Costa 😉
NIN – haha, well I want to get Barkley in anyway and Moreno/Zaha out seems like the best way to do it. That would leave me with five ‘expensive’ midfielders which works for next week at least with Costa benched (can’t see him back for next week). Then I could review the Aguero etc. situation…
AT – If your gut says make those moves, then go for it mate. If it were me, i’d wait until Friday to see what’s up with Diego, if he’s out then replace him. If not, then i’d probably ditch Moreno and leave the Barkley move until the week after for the SWA (h) game. I think it’s a bit early to bring the kid in. He’s on my shortlist though 😉
NIN – I know Mourinho keeps his cards close to his chest but can you genuinely see Costa playing next weekend?
I can yes. There’s a decent chance Costa is being given a break for the Palace/Maribor games. Two games which they should win comfortably, with or without him, meaning he’s fresh for a big game vs United.
Hi guys, quick question, just brainstorming for the future…. :cuckoo:
Aguero + sakho + barkley ………….(+ taylor)
OR
Aguero+ welbeck + 5.4………..(or a 5.9 if taylor–>moore)
Top one!
thanks AT!! only issue with this one is that there is no arsenal coverage.. and i would have to remove fab/adm to get some in. do you think arsenal coverage is a must or not??
Hmm..they do have pretty good fixtures. Is there a way of bringing Walcott in once he comes back?
And would the £5.4m be playing or on the bench?
benched, as i would have:
adm-fab-hend-siggy
costa-aguero-welbeck
Can you not get someone like Boyd instead of the £5.4m and bring in Barkley for Henderson?
It might be a bit early for a Barkley swoop. Once he’s up and running for a few weeks then i’d say option 1 but until then, option 2 for me
