Hi all,

Been reading for a while, but finally decided to sign up and post. It's my first season this year and I would say its mixed. Any advice would be great.

Current Position: 25,000
Transfers Left: 19 (probably waste about 3 so far)
Current Team:
BegovicRichards
Bosingwa
Enrique
Silva
Arteta
Ramsey
Mata
Rooney
Aguero
Adebayor

I've highlighted the two I'm considering getting rid of at the moment. I'd also ideally like to still have 15 transfers by xmas.

Thanks!

John

Transfer (remaining) wise you're maybe already a tad too low for this stage of the season, it would help us to help you if you told us who you were contemplating bringing in for Begovic & Bosingwa...

Phil Jones for Bosingwa
Not sure about Begovic, I would keep him if it was not for the fact he has been dropped. Maybe Friedal?

Would consider ditching Rooney if I was on say 25 transfers but I'm hoping he will come good soon - Man U have a reasonable run of fixtures.

I think the rest of the team I am fairly content with.

Thanks

You are running low on transfers so I'd be tempted to sit on your hands for a few weeks and let things pan out.

Bosingwa will probably be reinstated at right back soon and chelsea will surely improve. Stoke shipped a few despite Begovic being rested. Their fixtures look ok so if he ain't back as No 1 by the everton game, then start looking for alternatives - everton come good around xmas time?

Went for Friedal for Begovic:

Position: 21k
Transfers: 19
Team:
Friedal
Richards
Bosingwa
Enrique
Silva
Arteta
Ramsey
Mata
Rooney
Aguero
Adebayor

Obvious weak links to me are Arteta, Rooney and Bosingwa. Bosingwa being the only one I'm really condering transferring out at the moment. Thoughts?

You are focussing too much on who to sell rather than thinking who you want to buy.

Not that I am trying to tempt you into buying anybody. Cough, RVP, cough.

too late to bring in RVP now, better to stay with Rooney and hope he hits form while RVP looses form.

Bringing in RVP will only put you behind teams who have RVP and not Rooney.

Bad advice from Murf!

Fair point.... if you are gambling everything on overall victory.

If you just want to win your mates' superleague then buy the best players like RVP.

Future Transfers: Looking at a 'hold' this weekend - sitting tight on Rooney is a risk but getting rid seems about 'tinkeresque' at the moment as I'm a few transfers over budget at the moment

Correct me if I'm wrong but your team has been pulling in between 45 and 50 points over the last few weeks.

I am getting those kind of points a week and I'm in no rush to change anyone so I would say keep Arteta and more importantly keep your transfers

took your advice and pleased to see anyone I wou,d have brought in didn't get more than two points. Still not sure though...... I think the rest of my team is wrong, would maybe like Van-P for Aguero but Aguero still doing ok

Pretty pleased with the last month, used two transfers (Jones and Friedal for Begovic and Bosingwa) and moved up 10000 places from c.25k to c.15k.

Hoping xmas will treat me well and I can be pushing towards the top 10k for 2012 with at least 15 transfers left (still have 17)
