Grab, Avoid or Bore off!
Welcome to our second installment of Grab, Avoid or Bore off for the 2015-16 season. For those new to the site, it is a simple question and answer segment that covers everything from the serious to the absurd. So why do we call it that? Tradition, is the easy answer as we basically have veered so far off course that it barely has any resemblance to the original format. Thanks to our members for some of the ideas on the questions, we tried to include most of them or some semblance of them. Well enough of the small talk from me, let’s see what the girls have to say about a number of topics ranging from FPL dilemmas to who is cuter?
Shame about Kun, but its even worse if your one of the 133k who have already transferred him in and now have to take a hit to remove him, Im sure many would have taken a hit just to get the boy in so 8 points ouch!
Personally im looking at doing Wanyama and kun out for Pelle and KDB its a 8 point hit but as before many will be taking hits this week. I would then look to w/c to get him back in. the only issue I have is double saints and foxes
The only potential issue I see with that logic is that mostly the top players will have a decent 8th attacker and will choose not to take a hit. So taking an 8 pointer may put you on par with the average team, but it will be a step back against the top teams. Also, we’ve got to remember that if you are tied with someone whoever has made the fewest transfers over the course of the season wins the tie breaker and moves above the other. This may be 2 transfers well saved against those all around you in the rankings. I haven’t researched this “top players not taking hits” theory, so someone else just squash me and tell me how wrong I am
All very true Pancho, ive not done the transfers yet, I could see that coming back to bite if its done in haste! without Kun im left without any city attack so personally I need to take a hit or do the moves over two weeks which would be less appealing to get KDB in when they play utd
Whats your plan Pancho?
I’ve got no idea
Waiting for now. I took a look a straight swap for Costa, but I hate how dirty he plays and so I’ve kinda decided I don’t want him because then I have to celebrate his success. I do think he’s the best straight swap. Like you, Kun is my only City attack. Also, I took a hit already and went Pedro/Gomis to Eriksen/Pelle. Those two just kept dropping and I couldn’t wait any longer. Wanted KdB and Pelle but couldn’t afford it…
People who have brought him in already with an early transfer deserve it. Why? There are some reasons.
1. Never make early transfers, thats the only rule in FPL (apart from another rule of not buying Jones, ever!)
2. He costs 13M man. If you can afford a 13M price tag, then surely you can afford inflation that forces you to spend a few more pennies.
3. International break.
What are the chances of Gabriel keeping his place in the Arsenal first team? He looks good for the price.
I would say 50/50 short and long term, wenger loves the boy but kos is the number 1 when fit, which he should be next game week. I personally would get him in, I think the boat has sailed
sorry should have said wouldn’t get him in
OK thanks,not sure, if I do get him, I’ll also need good cover just in case he doesn’t play.
instead i think he will retain the spot at mertesacker’e expense. he is much more a complete player than merty. he just needs to learn how to control himself when situations like the last sending off occure!
Kosc has recovered already I think, and he is first choice.
u’ll lose more cash while bringing him in..dont make any changes till this weekend.kun can score within 2 minutes of his playtime.even i’m not showing him out..even for two weeks..rest your decision.
nauj..this reply is for you
Yeh i will wait until next friday, if it’s a short term inj i will keep him..

wtf am i doing
You are doing really well to hide your desperation of sending nauj your reply. Well done.
u are a mind reader B and an expert on human behaviour too..congrats..
I try.
Anyone familiar with Klopp’s management style? I know he is an attacking kind of man, but are we expecting Liverpool to create a fortress and not concede goals? Dont think Liverpool have that kind of luxury if Skrtel is there guarding the goal and supporting Miggy.
So whats the verdict? Keep Liverpool defenders?
Bbwahahaha. The material stays the same, don’t expect wonders. ^o^
I cant believe I paid 5.5M for Skrtel.
It’s all based on high intensity pressing and fast counter attack. Basically what Liverpool were doing when Suarez was there but more so.
I can’t decide whether this suits Sturridge (it should, he’s perfect for it) or whether it’s just too much for his fragile body.
This is an old article (from April I think) but explains it all perfectly.

Big Sam off to Sunderland.
That’s them safe so.
Fat chance.

Anyone who witnessed the dismal farce of his last 19 games at West Ham will tell you that is game over, down & out.
