Is this worth a 4 PTS HIT ?
Sterling & Siggy – Out
Hazard & Chadli/Downing – in
Hazard in for Sterling, absolutely. I’d captain him.
Siggy out, not so much – only if you need the funds to bring in Hazard.
Maybe actually, looking at your bench options. Depends on his injury and the value you have built in him.
If he’s fit I’d keep him.
If he’s injured for a couple of weeks then take the hit and bring him back for Mane when Southampton get harder fixtures.
I’m not sure. My initial thought is yes, but Chadli/Downing makes me unsure. Sterling looked pretty tired against Hull and COULD get rested or subbed against Newcastle. With Liverpool’s attacking issues I think it’s worth getting rid of Sterling now. Even if he plays and scores next weekend it’s worth it. He won’t shine like Hazard until Sturridge is back. Siggy is a little off aswell but so is Chadli and I don’t think Downing is worth getting. Right now I’d say yes, Hazard and Chadli in would be worth a 4 point hit.
Cheers Guys !!
I need to get Baines and Fab in my team… Would you say that’s a given ? I think they’re pretty much becoming essential (even if you don’t necessarily agree with the label).
But how ?
Moreno to Chambers this week.
Then Clyne, Tadic and Sterling for Baines, Fabregas, +1 (Downing maybe, too tired to work out how much cash you’d have) over the next couple of weeks.
Ha ha.. I’d have 6.6 left but I’m not absolutely sure I want to get rid of tadic, maybe ever ! I think he’ll be one you have to stick with to get the returns, rather than the slow and steady flow. Cha know.
Gives me food for thought though Mate, cheers
Pelle to Sakho (e.g.) could work if you want to keep Tadic.
Demsie – I prefer Hazard over Fabregas. But anyways, how about Costa to Berahino and Moreno/Taylor to Baines and Sigurdsson to Fabregas. If you don’t want to get rid of Costa then I have no idea how you’ll get Baines and Fabregas.
I think I prefer Haz too in all honesty but Fab just seems a lot more consistent and he’s cheaper – I know. Only a bit. But cheaper is Cheaper.
Maybe I should just forget about Baines for now and just get in Haz / Fab.
If I got rid of Costa I would have no idea who to bring in… That’s the main reason I didn’t get shut this week…. Maybe I’m just being a wimp. There are plenty of options…. I just feel safer with a more expensive front 3. Always have… Always will no doubt. Maybe that’s my downfall……
Demsie – Yeah having an expensive front 3 gives a safe feeling. But honestly if Costa isn’t fit then he really isn’t worth holding on to. If your gut feeling says Fabregas, then you should go for it. I had a gut feeling on friday saying I should cap Alexis, but I was too afraid of not capping Aguero.
So how about a direct swap, Sterling -> Fabregas. With your .8 in the bank that should work.
Ok Geezers.and Girls, we are down to the last 64 of the Banterbury Help For Heroes Cup and the 3rd Round, Firstly i like to congratulate those from the Qualification Leagues that firstly had to have a great start to the season just to get a chance to play in Round 1, but now have earn a chance to pit their wits again the Banterbury Veterans in Round 3 ,Also well done to all Round 2 Winners, here are your numbers for Pottys LIVE Draw, Here LIVE on Tuesday 28th October from 8pm http://wp.me/p4SHIn-2S
Cheers Bench… You forgot to add ‘FPL LEGEND’ next to number 42 mate :hippo:
Demise, so you are a leg end.
Ha ha thanks very much Elle.. I love you too maybe
Demise, oooops, i put a space between leg + end.
I love you to mate.
Lol – that was meant to say “mate” not “maybe”…
Sounded like I was being coy with you ! Ha
Demi that legendarily status , is there for you to win mate ! innit down 64 to go
I’m going to do my very best Bench ! That’s all we can do mate..
64 doesn’t sound like too much bother, anyway !
Demise, don’t get number 1 in the draw, you will definately fall.
Oooooohhhhhhhh Elle I really really REALLY want number 1 now !!! (I’m assuming that’s you, right ??)
If not I’ve got the wrong end of the stick !
Yip, thats me mate, number 1, what number are you ?
42 Baby ! Which has a nice ring to it…. Kinda rolls off the tongue..
I’ll be looking out for that big number 1 mate.
Off to bed now… Big day in morning !
I will be looking out for your number mate, night.
Looks like there is a mad scramble of Di Maria to Sanchez moves. Interesting!
Are people really getting rid of Di Maria? Ahahahaha let them. I want him to become a punt for me.
If you tell me that people are getting rid of Angel because of United’s fixture against MCI then I will be speechless. His magical crosses and 1v1 dribbles makes him fixture proof. Always a threat and could earn an assist in the blink of an eye. Not to mention that MCI have been average in the back this season.
To be fair he looked pretty pedestrian for most of today’s match in my opinion. Maybe he’s still carrying a knock… Who knows
He crossed a lot though, beautifully. Yeah I think the knock was bothering him a little. On the other hand he was playing against Chelsea who have been defensively strong this season.
FFF predicting he will drop tomorrow.
He’s allowed to drop, bought him at 9.5m meaning a drop to 10.1m is ok. Crazy, since it will be much harder to buy him back and it’s not like he’s injured like a Costa/Falcao. Anyway, people dropping Di Maria is just crazy. In all honesty, in my opinion he had a very poor game for his standards today, very poor.
Yeah I doubt he’ll play like that again any time soon.
So, this is my team. I’m looking for ways to get Baines in, but it’s not possible without downgrading some of my front 7. Does Clyne -> Baines and Sterling -> Mane sound good? Looking at Soton’s fixtures after GW 12, I think it’s perfectly fine to drop Clyne.
And of course, I won’t do anything until we get some updates on Costa and Siggy.
The only downside by doing the suggested transfers is that it will complicate bringing in Walcott.
I’d go Taylor & Sterling for Baines & Downing.
Could bring Taylor back for Clyne in a few weeks rather than worrying about getting rid of Mane.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I’m not too sure about Downing tbf.
Fair enough. I’m not 100% convinced either tbh. Was just thinking of someone other than Mane because you’ll likely want him out in a couple of weeks.
Yeah, looking at Soton’s fixtures Mane + Soton seems a little too much. However I’m thinking Pelle -> Sakho/Berahino could finance Mane/Siggy -> Walcott when the time’s due.
Probably as good a call as any.
I’ve got Henderson as my 4th mid but clearly not a popular opinion
EBC wasn’t it you that stated earlier today that he hated his midfield? :p
Yes Raz.
It’s still true. Want Sterling & Davis out, Sig is injured, Hendo isn’t great either (although always tricky to find someone at that price range).
Sell Kun for Rooney (he’s coming back) and upgrade Clyne to Baines. Problem solved?
Naaah I kid. Ummm sterling to …. sorry I’m shooting blanks at the moment. F-ing headache… can’t think…
Hmmm, what you could do is take a look at my squad and point project Baines to yours. Who knows, maybe it works. :dance:
So, you use 3 posts without giving any other substantial advice than telling me to look at your team :finger:
I’ve been thinking about going with Forster as my sole keeper and Baines in for Clyne tbf, but Soton’s longterm fixtures tell me that ain’t a good idea.
Indeed, Soton only have 3 good GW’s left. Will mean defenders/goalies have to go. I might keep Tadic and Pelle though, they could be fixture proof is Soton keep playing this level. Will see, maybe I will just make money on Tadic and sell him. 😉
Aaah yes, my plan for this season was just to have 1 good goalie. Started with DDG (which actually wasn’t a supergood punt though he did give me 1 or 2 cleansheets) and swapped in DDG for Forster a few weeks back so I could finance Baines. Been planning the Baines move since GW4 or GW5.
Looking for Costa/Hazard cash. Is Ivanovic going down; is Steven Taylor likely to be around for a few more games? Thanks-I’m still figuring out the new price change algorithm-the FF247 is very helpful on the general logic-can’t figure specific applications.
Ivanovic is dropping fast but he’ll be fine once people realise he isn’t suspended.
Sterling to Hazard this week. Pelle & Clyne out for Costa & Chambers/Hutton/Taylor around GW12.
Thanks very much, EBC. I saw the match; isn’t Ivanovic’s red an automatic? Curious.
He’ll miss the league cup game midweek.
