Grab, Avoid or Bore Off!
Looking to entertain whilst not losing the opportunity to be somewhat informative we come to a new addition of Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! We have selected a number of quick questions that we have seen on the minds of fantasy managers this past week and hope the many, many, many years of knowledge from our 3 very senior (Queen of England old) writers will assist you in your decision making. They will follow some semblance of order as explained below, but they are stubborn at best and forever crankheads so answers are never restricted by any rules as you will soon find out. Hope you enjoy and now let us get down to business…
Grab – You need this player on your squad.
Avoid – It’s a trap don’t get suckered in.
Bore off – Could care less either way. Grab him, avoid him or dress him up if you like.

Morning,
Can I have some suggestions for transfers this week? I’m playing my WC in GW 24 so I only need to do short term transfers with 3 good fixtures.
Cookie
Good Morning Veer,
team looks pretty good for this week mate – I’d play 3-5-2 and bench Austin. Not sure you need to make a transfer this week. I’m not a fan of having Clichy due to the rotation risk and their poor defensive record, though he has delivered thus far, to be fair.

Im on wilcard this week. I just create my team few weeks ago, and my team value is not that high. Vry hard to make a solid team.
Need ur opinion guys.
Btw, any words why hart nvr play these two last matches?
Thanks before matess.
Cookie
Hello NewbDoe,
I assume Hart was given a small rest, must be very tiring being a keeper. Anyway, I wouldn’t include him in a wildcard side this week. Their short term fixtures are not the easiest and a combo of Pantimilion, Foster or Heaton prob works better as your keepers in my opinion.
If you want Spurs midfield, then think about Chadli instead of Eriksen, gives you another 2.2mln in the bank and would allow you to upgrade Cazorla to Alexis?
NewbDoe
Hi cookies. Thanks for the input.. Now i came up with this line up.
Still not sure abt clichy, i did take on hart coz the city defs is like a washing machine. Who would be the best replacement for this spot?
Still need ur further input mates..

Nice article guys,gave me a chuckle or two !! Currently in bed with a nasty dose of flu so needed cheering up !! :thumbup: I’m actually considering going 3-5-2 when i play my wildcard in a couple of weeks due to the shortage of reliable striking options !!
Cookie
Morning Brooky, hope you feel better soon mate.

PRMT-
fabianski (krul)
wisdom-jones-clichy (dummett-hutton)
siggy-sanchez-boyd-fabregas(downing)
costa(c)-pelle-austin
2 FT with 6.3 ITB
shall i play wild card now or next week?
which transfers i should make ? which are the weak links in my team.
Advise please. Thank you.
lampard9211
1. Pelle -> RVP and downing -> any 8mil midfielder
2. Downing -> di-maria and Pelle-> jovetic
Cookie
lampard, how do you feel about Hazard to go alongside Cesc & Costa? If so you could sell Siggy for Hazard.
If not, maybe Austin to Kane and Clichy to Terry?

Hi everyone.
Have some problems with defence and strikers.
Just 1 FT and £1.7 Bank
Any ideas what to do?
Maybe Mangala –> Shawcross & Austin –> Kane?
Have no idea, please help.
Thank you.
Cookie
Respect, Clichy to Terry? Clichy a constant rotation risk which I wouldn’t want every week. Don’t like Mangala either to be fair, he’s just a nutcase waiting to be red carded. So get one of either of them.
Respect1987
But I have Courtois in goal, you think Terry would be good? If I would take both City defenders off and take Terry and Showcross and next week Courtois to Pantimilion?
Cookie
Sorry Respect, I didn’t notice you had Courtois. Nah I would double up Chelsea going forward with Costa or Hazard not the back. Too expensive and better value with Hazard. How about a West Brom defender to rotate with Hutton?
Respect1987
Im not sure that I will want to keep Courtois, so for one week I could do with double Chelsea and sell him next week for Pantimilion.
Respect1987
or just take my WC for this team?
Cookie
nah, do the Terry move and sell Courtois next week.
Respect1987
So Terry to who? Will I do Mangala to Terry and Clichy to Showcross? or just Mangala to Terry?
Cookie
I would do Clichy personally. To Terry. I wouldn’t touch Shawcross this week, but you seem slightly obsessed by him!!
Guido
Heres my revised draft of my WC probably will play it GW 22/23 as I like Silvas fixture against Everton and I want to have a punt on Berahino. Cheers in advance for the comments
Cookie
Guido, so much can happen between now and GW23….Kun could be back, Theo could be firing, injuries may occur. Team looks fine to me, but then I haven’t looked at fixtures without considering GW21, so as I say, pretty tough to rate it with a considered opinion!
