My personal captain choice will once again be Suarez.
I may go with Wally…
Tough to “pass” – on Suarez, but we ll see…
It’s Wally or Suarez for me. I may flip a coin for this one
Mitro – I might toss one too: heads ‘Walcott’ and tails ‘not Suárez’…
…as that’s the only way I could find the guts to captain Walcott!
Really want to, just don’t want it get left behind if Suárez goes crazy.
Suarez is the safe option!! You know most managers will go with him!!
Wally is a differential and if he scores a few your most likely to see a big jump in postion
Exactly – going Wally on a personal level seems wise, as he could score but due this good form and fixture – but on a large scale, it could backfire if all the Suárez cappers rake in the points whilst you suffer because you captained Walcott instead..
Help! I have a TV of 105.3, which I haven’t really been focusing on…
Now, I’m realising for this Jan WC, it’s important to have a high TV…
What should I do? How should I set up my (late) Jan WC?
And for the future, what’s the best way to raise TV? Bandwagon?
((Arghhh this is annoying, as I’ll probably suffer now, great…..))
It’s not a bad value!! It’s better than most!! Mine is at 110.1 at the moment!!
I would just activate your WC straight away and keep an eye on risers. But to be fair some of the players you have will defo increase over the coming days
110 is mad! Very impressive.. think I’m gonna hold off to late Jan!
Look to replace Oscar for Hazard if he keeps up his for, or maybe swap Rooney to Agüero, or upgrade to a better 4th midfielder, but not too much hopefully!
Are you activating yours asap or waiting too?
I really don’t know what to do mate!! I’m doing pretty good this year I’m up to 5k in the standings!! I only need to tweak it a bit!! I have a plan but it involves aguero, so I may wait towards the end of the month
My value is 116.7. It was 4th in world until I took hit and traded out Ramsey.
It has taken 61 trades.
Plan is to go as well as I can in the CUP
Ramsey must have cost you a few quid mate? Your value is only £107.3m now 😉
Best way to gain value is to have a bigger
turnover of transfers.
It obviously comes at a cost though in hits.
I’ve now done about 35 transfers and current value of £111.4m which was considerably higher until last week before selling Ramsey and losing 0.8m value.
Selling Aguero cost me a similar amount when sold a few weeks back.
It’s too late for you to gain a significant amount to make a difference in Jan WC though so would just go as you are.
Good luck
Okay, so out if these 3 upgrades, can you prioritise them?
1) Oscar —–> Hazard (perhaps Oscar can kick on now…?)
2) Brunt —–> Cabaye / Lallana (if so, pick a preference)
2) Rooney —–> Agüero (is Lukaku an acceptable 3rd striker?)
Sorry, I’m just looking ahead to late Jan, and my WC issues / upgrades
2 ; 1 ; 3 …
:beer:
2-Cabaye… (sorry, missed it)…
Haha no worries, thanks, I’ll go have a tinker now..
..hoping Oscar / Rooney can suffice for Hazard / Agüero..
..but we shall see I guess, cheers :beer:
Hazard is shite. Kun is a best though. Once Kun returns I’m swapping Rooney to Kun. Rooney is only interesting now RvP is out.
Raz – ha, okay, funnily enough I just made one with no Hazard and Agüero instead, let me know what you think:
McGregor / Moore
Dawson / Koscielny / Nastasic / Ward / Faye
Silva / Oscar / Walcott / Cabaye / Mutch
Suarez / Lukaku / Agüero
Basically, from my current team: De Gea, Sagna, Kompany, Brunt, Rooney out and McGregor, Kosc, Nastasic, Cabaye, Agüero in…
Looking good mate. Not too certain about Nas though. My first defenders all have to play when fit. Rest seems tight.
Anyway, I’m gonna wait with my WC. Even though I have 4 or more injured players. Sighs.
Gonna use it when Kun, Gerrard return. Also, might want to wait for new Chelsea striker.
Yep, I’ll be watching and waiting for new signings myself, also monitoring price rises and player form that will no doubt buggar my current draft above
Off out now, have a good day all, later
When will RVP be back?i
Reading some of the latest comments on the right.. What are you monkeys on about? Cookie? GP? Raz? lol
Hey Milky I have been searching around for a clear answer on the Sunderland keeper thing. It seems that fans think will keep his place even if Westwood is back and many are still waiting to see if he will have shoulder surgery, in that case he be out for 2 months. Plus as Gallow said, would Poyet really sit Vito considering the job he has done for him.
Ahh thanks Mito! So would you go Mannone and a better defender or Krul and a cheaper defender? I think maybe the former..
If form holds you could get away with Vito, but I am not confident they can keep up their run of clean sheets that they had going before the Cardiff game. But unless you buy a big club keeper they are all a crap shoot, so I would say get the defender you want and just slot one of Vito/Ruddy/Marshall/Tremmel crowd in there and hope for the best.
Yeah I think that’s what I am going to go for. Rather have a shit keeper than no keeper, and save the WC for later to see the transfers in/out. I just do not like my team with Yaya and Silva, and no Hazard. lol
What’s the best way to free up funds? Cech to Mannone or Remy to Rodriguez?
Cech ou id say, but i like to play 3 big names up froont..
I agree. I’ll downgrade to Mannone, they have Villa and Fulham next! it’s just until I use my Jan WC. Thanks
Yeah should be a good move then, no problem
Hey lads, care to help out with transfer and lineup thoughts for this gw?
Should prob address Keeper situation given Davis’ return? So Boruc to Mannone/Speroni/Marshall? I could also afford Ruddy or Guzan.
Or upgrade to a better 4th mid with Silva out this week? Anyone up to 5.7.
Gazza – Boruc
Coleman – Mert – Bardsley – (MTurner – BTurner)
Wally – Hazard – Noble – Oviedo (Silva)
Suarez – Lukaku – Negredo
