Here's my team, currently eight in my mini league :( worst performance of my fantasy career! However, played my wild card last week to great effect picking up 90 points and ma now back in the hunt. If I hadn't of listened to a stupid colleague of mine and changed my captaincy decision, it would have been 102 points instead of the 90 (Dempsey is not rubbish :evil: )

Anywho, im leaving my team as it is for the coming weeks and trying to choose between RVP, Bale and another stab at Sessegnon for the captaincy as it looks pretty solid.

GW24 however i've got a bit of a dilemma. Im going to bring in 2 city players for their run and plan on taking out Skrtle (due to Liverpool's tough run and missing GW26) and either Valencia or Bale (as they have a hard run of games and it would allow me to bring in Silva). So:

Skrtle :arrow: Kompany or Richards

Valencia/Bale :arrow: Silva

However, it occured it may be a stupid move taking out one fo those wing wonders when their in such good form so my second option would be:
Skrtle :arrow: Richards/Kompany

Fletcher :arrow: Dzeko

This of course means going without Silva and Fletcher has fairly good games coming up but does allow me to retain the services of both Valencia and Bale.
Also, in a few weeks when Ballotelli is back from his "danicng on Parker's head" ban I can swap Dzeko for Ba.

Decisions decisions...all I can say its a crucial few weeks for me which could see me back in with a real shout or well and truly out of the picture.

Any help or alternative suggestions for what I could do, would be greatly appreciated.

Before I forget, I have 2.6 millions sitting idle in my sky rocket.

Skrtel -> Kompany and Fletcher -> Dzeko looks like a good move, but for the fact that you've already got Aguero, and I don't like the idea of two forwards from the same team. It could work though.

Have you thought about Nasri? It's a gamble but he does take half the corners and FK's, knows how to score and is involved in play quite a lot. He hasn't shown consistency so far but if I was eighth in my ML I'd certainly explore the option a bit. It would also enable you to keep Balencia.

Cheers for the advice, no I havent considered Nasri and I dont think Im going to. Good points, but he just hasn't found any form at City and hasn't got a niche in the team. I will keep an eye on him though.

I also hear what you're saying about doubling up on City attackers, but surely that would be just like doubling up on their two most expensive players (Silva and Kun).

And although I'm eigth in my mini-league it is 38 teams so not as bad as it might first appear. I'm top of the other one I'm in but that's not for money so doesn't really count.

Another point I was going to make is that with Aguero in the team, I would never captain Silva. Is it wise paying 10.4 for a player you're never going to captain? I'm not sure :?

went for:

Skrtle :arrow: Kompany (which didnt work out)
Ben Arfa :arrow: Ox (with devastating results)

now thinking what should I do for this week, bit of a conundrum!

Sessegnon :arrow: Siggy
Ox :arrow: Siggy

or just save the transfer for next week.

question is, if I do...should I play Ox or Sessegnon???

as everyone above me in my mini league has Sessegnon, I'm thinking of giving the Ox a go just to get a bit of a springboard if that works out. He's young, he's got something to prove and he's got the bit between his teeth so I'm thinking it could work out!

What does everyone think?

I'd be willing to keep Sess and bench him.

Clark out?
