I'm doing ok-ish, i'll be on around 400 points when updated later today. I need to get ground over my other rivals for the super league and I don't know how - I currently have 27 transfers left and my team is:

hart
kompany terry richards lescott walker
young dempsey moses
aguero rooney

I don't know who I should bring in - should it be balotelli, van persie, vdv, silva?

please help!

The team doesn't look too bad but you really do need Silva as he now is a must I would say. I would ditch Moses as I'm sure that are better alternatives.
So add Silva any which way you can.

Your main problem (other than posting this originally in the wrong forum), is you formation. 5-3-2 ain't going to cut it when only one team keep a clean sheet in 10 games.

I agree with Silva, and get rid of Moses, but I'd also down-grade one of Rooney and Aguero and dump two defenders. there are cheaper options who will score points like VdV or Gervinho. Grab the bull by the horns, do three or four transfers and change that line-up.

My worry would be that one of Silva, Balotelli and Aguero will not be playing some weeks. Especially with Nasri and Dzeko certain to get game-time over the coming weeks. You'd be very City heavy (which may be great or...)

A safer option might be RvP or Torres somehow, can you do Aguero to either of them while keeping Rooney. If not, Suarez could give you another possible.

Rooney will come good.

If it were me I'd try and get in Silva by selling Terry or a City defender (eggs/baskets - your call).

You might need another tinker to afford it so do that!

How many points do you have, and how many do the leaders have? Do you know their sides etc?

For what it is worth my advice would be to keep Moses, Wigan's fixtures do not look too bad and he is actually starting which makes him good enough value at 3 million. Rooney and Young should be kept as they will score well in the coming weeks as after Everton away they don't have any challenging fixtures until they go to Arsenal in January. Dempsey should be season long he will score well consistently season long.

If I am right your team value is 49.6 which gives you 0.4 million in the bank already. Although they are playing regularly at the moment my concern with Richards and Lescott is that these two may be subject to squad rotation, particularly prior to and after Champions League fixtures as City will want to progress.

I like you thinking about downgrading but think it is the wrong time to bring Steve Taylor in as Newcastle have Chelsea, City and United in consecutive weeks, so transfer Richards to Wilson from Stoke is playing even after Europa league games so may be a better option at this stage as Stokes fixtures are reasonable.

This will give you 1.2 million this gives you the funds to go from Lescott to go either 442 or 433 with your choice of Adebayor or VDV, either should get good points in the next couple of months and both are rested in Europa league fixtures for Premier League games. Being slightly cheaper Adebayor's advantage over VDV is that you will have an extra 0.3 million which could come in handy for rotating Augero if you want to be bold for either Torres or RVP (november may be a good time as Chelsea have a 2-0 over City when they play Liverpool on the Sunday and City don't play until the following Sunday). The advantage of this move is you can wait until after City have played Wolves as Stoke and Spurs play Monday and Sunday respectively which gets you an extra game. This also leaves you with 25 transfers. Good luck whatever you do.
