Grab, Avoid or Bore off!
Welcome to another installment of Grab, Avoid or Bore off for the 2015-16 season. As always we will tackle some of the most unimportant questions in FPL and in life in general. The 3 Amigos are back for another round of very difficult questioning and the occasional FPL question. Will Kun come straight in? Is Mertesacker slower than a dead turtle? Does Ozil see better at night? Will Miss Colombia be given a crown for the embarrassment they caused her? WoW! I am dying to see the answers, so let’s get to it and see what our 3 wise men have in store for us.
[highlight_yellow]This Bore Off was completed a couple of days before GW18, so if some of the questions seem a tad late, that is the reason.[/highlight_yellow]

Top stuff guys

Evening gents.
Hope you had a decent Xmas.
I have my WC active and could do with some feedback.
Feel free to rip my team to shreds.
I am looking at doubling up on Stoke defence. Hence GJ.
Not sure on Ake. Is there a better defender?
Is there a better 4th mid than Walcott?
Is this the time to bring in Kun?
Thanks in advance
NIN
Howdy Horse. If i was on a wildcard this week i would definitely have Aguero in there. He might not start against Watford but a striker of his ability against such a woeful defence as Leicester’s…. could get messy. I wouldn’t double up on Stoke or buy Walcott. Ake is a good shout, although, Watford have some harsh fixtures. Cresswell could be a sweet differential.
Horse
Cheers NIN.
I got Cresswell in for this GW
He went off injured. Is he is now fit to play?. I haven’t followed the news too much over Xmas.
With Kun in I can get a team like this.
Ake can replace Wolf and Francis can replace Simpson.
Spoilt for choice up top!!!
NIN
Oh, i didn’t realize that Cressy got injured. That’s a shame but at least you got a haul out of him. That squad looks great but it’s going to take some luck to get the strikers right. Lukaku still has plenty of form behind him and good fixtures ahead so i’d be wary of missing a big score or two from him.
FDMS All Starz
Guys what would you do with this team? Im in a situation where I don’t have a clear transfer to make. Please help
NIN
Simpson –> Cresswell and leave the other FT maybe? Doesn’t seem right in any way but, i would bench Ighalo and play the five mid’s.
Brookyboy
So who we all captaining then ?? I want to give it to Ozil but am afraid he won’t start.I know Arsenal need to bounce back after yesterday but what bothers me is that when they were 3-0 down and the game was lost Wenger left him on the pitch for the full 90 mins making me think he will be rested tomorrow ?
Mitro
Either wally or Mahrez
Smash10
Yeah I’m not sure on the Arsenal rotation. They have so many injuries there is only really Ox that can come in
NIN
Haven’t decided yet, Brooky. I haven’t changed it from De Bruyne yet but might actually go with Yaya Toure as capo. Either way, my capo will be a City / Leicester player as that game could get all kinds of silly if both are on form.
TheDreamers
Yaya is interesting Nin. Doing well of late.
NIN
Yeah mate, i have a feeling he’ll do well against Leicester and could get lucky with pen duty if Aguero doesn’t start, or gets taken off. Once i seen that late surge from him against Arsenal the other week i bought him straight away.
TheDreamers
On Ramsey at the moment.
Wafflez
Not sure on who to bench this gw, any input on this lot would be great
NIN
I’d probably sell Eriksen for a budget player. He’s very hot-and-cold for his price.
Wafflez
That’s the plan eriksen to get funds for kun next week
Rugby15
Think your good to go with that team.

Wafflez
Thanks I’ll go with this i think
Smash10
Who is everyone going with as captain? I’m petrified of the rotation that could happen
inittowinit
Not actually looked yet Smash but I figure in this instance you go capo on whoever you would given normal criteria and just cross your fingers. Vice could be key though so maybe play more conservative with that with someone who’s highly unlikely to be rotated. Lukaku would be a good example of this. Only issue then is if your capo gets a cameo! If it happens it happens. C’est la vie.
Smash10
I’m not sure if anyone’s safe
NIN
Precisely what’s leaning me toward Yaya Toure. He only played an hour against Sundershite so he should walk all over the Leicester mid’s.
Smash10
Yeah Yaya and Aguero will almost certainly start I expect
NIN
Same with De Bruyne really but he might get hauled off early like Yaya did this week, around the 60 mark or so.
NIN
Smash – De Bruyne or Yaya, for me. Leicester boys are worth a shout too i reckon.
Smash10
Yeah that game has got to have goals. KDB only does it at home I think
inittowinit
KdB has 90 points, 70 of those accrued at home and 7 of his 20 away were in one game.
inittowinit
Yaya has 83 total and 44 of those were away.
NIN
Evening init. Those are some interesting numbers mate. Still fancy De Bruyne vs Leicester’s defence though but might go for Yaya as capo.
You making any moves for this week?
inittowinit
Hey NIN, yeah thought that may nudge you over to Yaya! He’s traditionally streaky with his goals too so another there wouldn’t be the biggest surprise. You won’t like my move at all! Just bought your mate Wally
NIN
Yeah, as i said to Dreamers a while ago, once i seen that late surge vs Arsenal my mind was made up. When he’s on the rampage he’s unstoppable. A screamer and a peno will do nicely
Well. I. Never. It’s like that is it? Yikes :shiftyeyes:
DMC
Hey Init / Nun – I’m going Silva on that exact rational: KDB may be rested/early subbed and doesn’t have great stats away and Silva is recovering while playing. If Aguero starts anybody can go riot In that game of course. Best of luck.
DMC
Nun = NIN + kun!
inittowinit
I wasn’t calling you a Wally, you wally! I just know you won’t approve of him coming in!
NIN
I know what you meant mate, haha. My squad is linked mate, thinking of keeping the team as is but finally bin Sako for Stanislas or Gosling. Thoughts?
(Not willing to go for the selection headache route)
inittowinit
Seems a bit of a waste really as you have 2 playing subs and it’s not like you’d actively play either in the next 2 anyway?
NIN
No, wouldn’t play at all really unless necessary. Just thought getting a starter for this schedule was the way to go as the 11 looks solid i think. Would you bank the Ft then, or make a different move maybe?
jamesimmo
Aguero.
