Interesting to see Dyer has started Swansea's last three games (2 in league, 1 in FA Cup), scoring 2 goals and impressing in the process. For the last couple of months I've been trying to get him out of my squad, but his low price has always forced me to keep him as a sub. After a promising start to the season, he eventually fell out of favour and thus you weren't even guaranteed 2 points from him.

Now the second wildcard is upon us, is anyone considering keeping the 4.7m midfielder, or even transferring him in? Nobody wants a squad that players who might not start every game, but has Dyer's recent form and return to the first XI done enough to win any FISOers over?

I have the same issue. I may stick with him purely because of his price.

I plan on sticking with him as I have since Week 2 but that depends on how sigurdson fits into things. For me he is like Drenthe, if he played 90 minutes everygame it would be an easy decision.

Same dilemma here too. The cheaper option would be Surman if you're desperate to save 0.3m.

I might even upgrade to Sess depending on whether I go Fletcher + Ageuro vs. Fletcher + Morrison.

I'm similar to you. He's been in my side for a little while now, even started on some occasions as he's a great player. I did miss his last points haul due to him being benched which was quite harsh as my little tip finally paid off that he did well but didn't reap the rewards!

Aye, I'll only benefit if Silva doesn't play tomorrow though. Damn.

I couldn't help but look at your team, but I would of played Sinclair instead of Baines and stick Dyer on first bench, who would of come on for Jones.

........and that's why you're 30,000 places behind Colbert :P . Your option not the percentage play in that situation.

Yeah but if he had played that way he would be even higher ;)

I had a feeling Sinclair would come off the bench as I had a few orange flagged players, and I didn't fancy both him and Dyer against what had been an improving Arsenal defence. No worries, Silva will miss out tomorrow and Dyer will make a cameo for me :?

Came in for Sturridge.

Dyer is ALWAYS my first sub as he's an attacker. Would rarely place a defender infront of an attacker on my bench as it's a rare occassion to have 4/5 good cleansheet prospects.

I'd be tempted to bring him in for S.Sinclair but Sigurdsson's performance was brilliant, he looks like he'll be the heartbeat of Swansea's attack so I think he's the best Swansea midfield option.

A Swansea defender playing at home isn't the worst idea for a 1st sub... Still, 'doh' for me. Hope Silva doesn't play 2moro, then I get 2nd sub Dyer.

Had him on my bench alongside Sorensen :(

This was after weeks of picking Sorensen over Vorm

I was getting to the stage that I was dumping him for Moses or someone else in the wildcard and then bam! Two 10+pts appearences. Everytime I've seen him in the highlights he looks like one of these players that cause problems for defenders. With the inevitable rise in price I'll probably keep him all season now.

He's getting revenge on me for all the spliters he's received from sitting on my bench since GW4. WC'ing at the moment and will keep Dyer as my cheapo.
