anyone else in this boat? the likes of rooney jones continue to falter whilst kompany aguero etc continue to prosper

a run of 2-3 terrible gws, carrying some rotten players? but great fixtures for spurs and utd the temptation to give them a final game, but the others are all rising of the obvious candidates?

anyone in this boat and finding it very hard to resist hitting the activate button? and if so why are you holding off?

I am waiting as I have a good looking team for the next GW an doing it now would be knee jerk. No point chasing £ at this stage.

I am in the same position

Fixtures look great on paper but if Man Utd and Spurs don't have a good week I am in for another stinker!

I drawn up a possible wildcard team HERE. It looks alot stronger and I don't see a reason not to wildcard if I am carrying some bad players as you say

After watching what some of my transfers have done this year, I'm more and more convinced that a wild card will likely improve your score by only a few points (unless, maybe, you have a bunch of players off to Africa, or missing a key captain choice). And so why not wait and see what happens with some of the new signings?

I have a draft wild card team, and if GW21 deadline gets close and I think I need to use it, I will. But I'm not going to do it only because I think I can add a few pounds to my team value. I think there's more value to be had in waiting to see who might come into the game, or seeing what less expensive players may be transferring to stronger teams. It's the latter that maybe more important this year, especially from a defensive point of view.

Me.

On paper my team looks bang on, with almost everyone having attractive home fixtures. Only guys away from home are Silva @ Wigan and RVP @ Swansea.

I have a strong urge to jettison most of my team that I have surpressed. Nani and Jones will get one more chance V Bolton and I will clear out the dead wood with my WC the week after I think.

I'll probably have another stinker and regret not pulling the trigger though. :lol:

My team looks strong for GW21, and although Rooney and Nani may not feature in my squad post-wildcard, it would be criminal to take them out ahead of a home game with Bolton. That said, Rooney continues to be a massive disappointment for me. It's fair to say it's the last roll of the dice for him.

perhaps for aguero or even cheaper before wildcarding the week after

i am suspicous of exactly whats gone on between him and slur alex and whether his game time is at threat, or hes playing with it on his mind

They've had back to back defeats, Rooney was terrible against Newcastle and Nani was awful in both games, at a guess I would bet there will be a big shake up against Bolton, would anyone be shocked to see Nani benched?
