Coleman Sagna Ward
Hazard Silva Eriksen (vc) Gerrard
Suarez (c) Giroud J.Rodriguez
bench- Marshall Wilshere Chester Bardsley
guys any changes??
should i go a 3-5-2 ???
suggest friends
Nishant,
play Wilshire home to Fulham at the expense of either Eriksen or J Rod
agree with Cookie – load up on Arsenal. Sunderland are not leaking many goals so i’d bench Rodriguez this week
would really appreciate peoples thoughts on whether to hold tough with the current squad despite injuries or if I should bite the bullett and use the WC
Mignolet/Boruc
Sagna/Dawson/Coleman/Vlaar/Collins
Hazard/Ozil/Sterling/Ramsey/Ki-Seung
Rooney/Remy/Suarez
Players im looking at bringing in are Mannone/Ward/Lallana/Aguero/Giroud…..
daboyo,
my personal opinion is that Rooney is massively overpriced for what he is offering – he may not even play at Chelsea this weekend.
Keep an eye out on news for Aguero this week – he may be your option – or you could take a hit and sell Rooney and Remy for Giroud and Negredo and hold your wc for a couple of weeks when Aguero will defo be back and firing and their fixtures get better.
I wouldn’t sc this week with that team, sir.
cheers cookie
I already made my FT to get rid of Barkley for Ki Seung as I wanted to avoid price drop. I am after falling from 11k down to 16k in the overall standings due to Rooney and Remy mostly – they are killing me.
What I was thinking is that I could play the WC and swap Ozil for Silva, Rooney for Negredo (and if Aguero plays vs Blackburn ill bring him in) and Remy for Giroud. Ultimately I want Giroud/Suarez/Aguero up top……Hazard/Lallana/Ramsey/Eriksen behind……..I just don’t fancy United this year as Rooney is too deep and none of their midfielders are consistent enough
Dab,
Keep Remy this week then – and sell Rooney for Giroud and hope they can Fulham.
Shame to wc for just 3/4 moves and gives you time to assess Aguero. That’s my advice. But go for the wc if you wish.
im snookered Cookie as I already have three Arsenal players……..I could do Rooney to Negredo for a hit………….it’d be my first hit of the year but I fancy City to bang in a good few at home this weekend…..im a few quid short to do Rooney to Aguero(if he is even fit)
Sorry, Dab I should have spotted that. Wait for the press conferences to see what is said about Rooney and Aguero, but if it were me, I’d be tempted to lose Rooney for Negredo.
cheers cookie – I should have taken the hit last week…..ive lost points and money by waiting……….i’ll hold tough til Friday and make the call then…….As you say using the WC should be put off as long as possible til we know who is back from injury etc…..
Not a bad 75 points this week, looks like everyone did well though as not many green arrows! Current team is:
Mignolet – Mannone
Coleman – Mertesacker – Clyne – Ward – Chester
Özil – Silva – Hazard – Lallana – Mutch
Lukaku – Adebayor – Suárez
Any suggestions? Wildcard played, 1FT
Cliffy,
How much cash you got ? Reason I’m asking is to see if you can get a City striker in there….many will have Negredo or maybe even gamble on Aguero and if City go crazy vs Cardiff you may lose out.
Morning Cookie mate! 0.9M in cash and my plan is (I should have mentioned) Özil >> Ramsey and Lukaku >> Aguero.
What do you think? Too soon for Aguero? Try Negredo or Džeko for this week? I’m happy to swap Özil out, I’m not convinced on him yet, needs more time to find his place.
My thoughts on Aguero are this:
see if he plays in the midweek Cup replay and then wait for Pellegrini’s press conference at the end of the week.
Based on the info we have right now, I would suggest he will feature at the weekend, in some respect. I’m not convinced he’ll start, but as I say, if he gets 45mins under his belt in the Cup midweek, maybe Pellegrini will start him. Negredo is obviously the safer call right now.
I wouldn’t take a hit to lose Ozil this weekend…..not worth it as Ramsey only just returning from injury.
What do you think to downgrading Mertesacker? To Kosc or Sagna. I need to free up 0.3 to get Negredo in
Sounds like a possible move Cliffy. Kosc and Mert together have been unbreakable really. So either or might work.
Yeah go for it Cliffy, either works there – Kos better for bps, Sagna delivers the odd assist.
Hi People!
Quick post to say hi. I was on FFC.co.uk for a while. Mainly lurking in the background stealing your wonderful ideas rather than posting myself.
Finally made my way across here. – Great site btw. Joined 2 months ago and promptly lost my password. – It’s taken me that long to fix hotmail so i can receive my password resets! (Just to give you an insight into how sharp my analyitical mind is, before you listen to my “tips”.)
Anyway, you all have my insightful / sarcastic posts to look forward to.
Here’s my team. – Appreciate any ideas for this weekend. Thinking i need to squeeze some Arsenal in there somehow. Got away with it big time this game week with no Arsenal clean sheet and no Ozil impact. Can’t see me getting away with it again home to Fulham.
Boruc / Speroni
Coleman / Alcaraz / Brown / Shaw / Chester
Silva / Lallana / Januzai / Erikson / Hazard
Negredo / Suarez / Lukaku
Will link my team in a couple of months when i figure out how to do it.
Having a blinder this year so far by my standards. More luck than judgement. Sitting just outside the top 10k. It won’t last.
PS. I’m a big fan of the drunken bonus wildcard. Why restrict yourself to 2 a year??! A few cans of Stella / bottle of wine and you too can wake up in the morning with a headache, a brand new team and a 32 point hit!!
Speak soon people.
Chins,
Firstly welcome to FF247, glad you’re here and that you’ve found us! Your technical skills sound similar to mine, probably slightly better.
Well done on your season, thus far – your team looks very solid mate – for the weekend and the next few weeks, maybe consider Giroud instead of Lukaku ? Fixtures are preferable and the Arsenal midfield is tough to call right now – in 2/3 weeks we’ll have an idea if Ramsey can come back from injury and rediscover his form.
Cookie you told me to get Ramsey! 😛
see below….get him in now, while you’re wildcarding…if he’s not back this week, he’ll be back next.
Good shout re. Giroud Cookie, thanks.
I’m finding it very hard to let go of Lukaku. We’ve been together a while now and i have a feeling that as soon as i set him free, he’s going to punish me with a hatrick. And you know he’ll be up for a return to WBA and that the Scouse derby is going to be another goal fest.
I know, i know…. He who dares Rodney. He who dares.
Hello fellow fantasy managers! I have done it, I have taken the plunge. I have wildcarded!
Boruc, Kelvin Davis
Coleman, Kolarov, Mertesacker, Chester, Williamson
Hazard, Silva, Ramsey, Lallana, Mutch
Suarez, Negredo, Sturridge
0.3 in the bank
Thoughts? Opinions? Bragging rights? Disappointments?
Hi M&B,
Great team.
Bit of a gamble on Kolarov but good back ups if he doesn’t play.
Can’t suggest much to improve it.
(You can get used to that level of “value add” comments from me.)
Hey chins, yeah I’ve got Kolarov for their game at home against Cardiff.. I can maybe bring in Azpilicueta as a direct replacement. At that price, I can get decent replacements if he loses his place. Hard to see with his form though – I hope.
Morning Milky,
I like it mate, good coverage in all areas – as we’ve discussed, Ramsey is the only question mark there. Personally I think the way to play it is see what Wenger says at the end of the week and go from there. Despite Wilshire having one of his good days y’day I wouldn’t touch him – even a broken clock is right twice a day and that’s what Wilshire is to me.
If Ramsey doesn’t play this weekend, then you can play Chester or Williamson instead for this week. Ramsey is the Arsenal coverage (midfield or striker) I would want going forward.
I’m a little concerned how much you banged onto me about Ward and you haven’t selected him……you know something I don’t ?!!!
Haha! Cookie, yes I am waiting for Wenger’s comments on Ramsey, thought I’d have him in instead of Eriksen since Spurs have some tough fixtures coming up for goals I think.
Regarding Ward.. From his more advanced position in the midfield he might have chances to attack more, but his BPs are limited too. It was Ward or Williamson, I might even change again. 4.4m on a 4th / 5th defender..
Ha, 4.7m in fact!
I prefer saving money in defence and loading up going forward if you can…..
Yeah, I want to spend 4m for the defender. Problem is Ward is now at 4.2m. Is Moxey or Mariappa more set on? The latter, yeah? Or even McCartney from the Hammers? lol. Who would have thought the 5th defender would be a sticking point?
a guy yesterday was saying Paar of Palace is worth a punt at 3.9m…..id also look at Whittaker of Norwich for 3.9………TBH with 10/11 teams all so close at the bottom of the table I don’t see many of them keeping clean sheets……they all need goals too much and the shackles are going to have to come off
Yeah I’ve been looking at Parr also.. But he’s just come into the team, so not entirely convinced on him keeping his starting place.
Haha, Cookie I bought Ward in at 4.2 since he is about to price rise 😉 Might as well exploit the rise of a 5th defender. lol
Do you think 100 points is to much to catch up on at this point of the season?.
No
no but you’d probably need for your opponent to captain Suarez and for him to have a blank and you captain someone like Ramsey who goes off and gets 2/3 goals and an assist or two……that could account for a 30 point+ swing. I had it last year where Lukaku and Walcott came really good at the end of the season for me, but in reality it will mean bold captain choices if you both have similar teams…
Ant. Do you have your season wildcard left?. Entirely feasible to recoup half of that back come double GW. Even without it careful planning around those weeks can reap big rewards. I see 100 pts as kinda the limit of what you can gain back of second half of season. Fall behind any more and you will find it hard. Good luck
