 Post subject: 12 point hit or wildcard?

I'm looking at 4 transfers this week:

Valencia -> Oxlade Chamberlain (will be on the bench most of the time)
Fletcher -> Ba
Sturridge -> Rooney
Jones -> Evans

I've not used my wildcard so tempted to use it here but also thinking it might prove beneficial later in season when there's a few double game weeks. I only have one free transfer this week so looking at a 12 point hit if no wildcard.

Thoughts anyone?

I'd just do the bold one above myself. Valencia (Liverpool at home), Fletcher (WBA at home) and even Sturridge (Everton away) could do ok this week. Their fixtures seem better than Ox (Sunderland away) and Ba (Tottenham away) and I'm not too keen on Rooney (refs aren't going to give him penalties every week).

I wouldn't do the 12 point hit personally, I've learnt that they're generally a bad idea, it seems to me that the teams at the top of the rankings rarely do excessive point hits. If it were me I'd perhaps bring in Evans for Jones and then Ba for Sturridge the following week (is it worth bringing in Ba now if his next fixture is Spurs away?), likewise for Ox as Arsenal have tough fixtures coming up (Sunderland away could be tough seeing as Sunderland have 3 clean sheets on the bounce) & Valencia could produce at Home to Liverpool.

Maybe you could do Jones & Fletcher/Sturridge for Evans & Ba for a 4 point hit if you're finger is feeling twitchy, if it were me I'd do it over 2 weeks though

I should have mentioned, I did the first two earlier in the week to catch price-rises:
Valencia -> Oxlade Chamberlain
Fletcher -> Ba

They've both gone up 0.2 units since I transferred them.

I'm now considering the other two:
Sturridge -> Rooney
Jones -> Evans

We'd really need to see the rest of your team to pass judgement then.

Is the current team - I did have also now done Jones -> Evans before price rise/drop!

The only question now is sit like this or Sturridge -> Rooney, and if so, 12 point hit or WC?

Personally I think you've made a mistake (though this season is very odd) if you're looking at catching 0.2mn value gain over expectant points at this stage of the season. Ba at Spurs and Ox at S'land is OK but not great; Fletcher home to WBA and Valencia home to Liverpool should get more points especially if you've taken a hit. Now you've done those 2 it would be better if we saw your team but I'm almost certainly not going to recommend you make any more transfers this week.
