Reasons for Transfers: Sanchez looks tired so I'm gambling on Sturridge.

[happyhoppy]

Yeah can't decide. Want to differentiate but 5 transfers left its a bit of a luxury transfer I can't afford. Over to you Saint!

di Maria Sterling...

Week 31

Nothing to choose between the top 2 but 4 transfers still in hand I believe so only a matter of time. Murf secures the podium with a 16 point gap to Mystery. At the bottom Spencer still 100 points from safety, Jester hanging in there 40 points from safety and only 50 point separate 4th and 10th going to be squeaky bum time down there.

Formation: 4-3-3
Total: £49.1
Transfers Left: 2

Reason for Transfers:
Too little too late.... Everyone else has two Saints defenders so I need 4 to make the difference....

Aguero 7.5 Sturridge 6.9
Sanchez 7.0

Total £49.1
Transfers Left:- 4

Reasons for Transfers :-
5 for 2 I think and season long too. Have Silva so bit of MC cover but no Liverpool which is not sensible. Hopefully he stays fit, bit nervous about this one.

Transfer History:-
Pre Lallana to Mata
Pre Shaw to Debuchy
23/8 Howard to Fabianski, Coleman to Clyne, Demichellis to Van Aanholt, Januzaj to Siggy, Rodwell to Costa

Downing 3.5
di Maria 5.3
Sanchez 7.0 Hazard 5.8
Costa 7.0
Kane 3.8

Total £47.0m
Transfers Left:- 6

Reasons for Transfers :-
Might be an extra transfer burned while I decide which other striker I'm keeping but Hazard has better fixtures and form. Gives options as to the third striker for the run in

Transfer History:-
Pre Lallana to Ramsey (injury)
Pre Shaw to Debuchy (injury)
1 Howard to Fabianski (cash raise)
2 Dzeko to Sanchez (Dzeko not consistent starter)
3 Januzaj to Sigurdsson (bench warmer to scorer)
4 Sturridge to Costa (injury)
5 Debuchy to Dier (injury)
6 Nasri to Pelle (injury)
7 Ramsey to Sterling (injury)
8 Rodwell to Chadli (value and consistent scoring)
9 Fabregas to Mata (suspension creating a 3-for-0)
10 Dier to Bertrand (upgrade / cash raise)
11 Sterling to Hazard (better form)
12 Demichelis to Clyne (potential 3-for-0)
13 Sigurdsson to Downing (3 match ban)
14 Costa to RVP (ban)
15 Sanchez to Sturridge (potential 2-for-0)
16 Bertrand to van Aanholt (ban)
17 Sturridge to Berahino (fixtures)
18 Chadli to di Maria (fixtures)
19 Pelle to Sanchez (form and fixtures)
20 Berahino to Kane (slight possible upgrade)
21 Hazard to Sterling (4-for-1)
22 van Persie to Aguero (injury)
23 Aguero to Costa (form and fixtures)
24 Sanchez to Hazard (fixtures and extra game)

Didn't realise I'd left Coleman in this team.

Ozil

Kane
Aguero Costa
Giroud

Total £48.3
Transfers Left: 4

Reasons for Transfers: A bit of a risk to drop an uninjured Aguero, but it's also risky to not have Costa.

[sjr]

Fabianski, L £2.3m
Taylor, N £2.4m
Bertrand, R £2.8
PVA £2.2 to Raheem
Downing

Di Maria £5.3m
Aguero £7.5m
The Duke £5.8m
Roo £6.8m
Kane

Tidying up from earlier was working when I sneaked the 2point transfer in.

6 left
£2mil in the pot ( why do I still have downing)

[The Saint]

Did Ozil Coutino and Sanchez Costa today. 7 left. Will tidy up tomorrow.

[happyhoppy]

So an IB sees me still just keeping The Saint's top spot warm for him with an 11 point lead, Murf takes the final podium spot although Mystery is pushing hard for this honour. Then just 20 points separate 5th and 10th with The Woolster in the relegation places (serves him right for picking so many Liverpool players ), Spencer4 looks doomed although still has plenty of transfers for a late push but Jester whilst having closed the gap does not have the transfer advantage and is still adrift.

Keep those transfers up and I might have a chance.

[Neath boy]

Yet more failed transfers. Van Aanholt out Siggurdsson in. Sanchez out Giroud in.

[Mystery]

Yet more failed transfers. Van Aanholt out Siggurdsson in. Sanchez out Giroud in.

Ouch. Not wholly convinced I'd have ever spent my 26th and 27th like that. Bold. Tinkerish

Reasons for Transfers: With games running out rapidly, had to replace the broken Costa. It was either Aguero or Sturridge for me, seeing Aguero starts tonight I went with him.

[Mystery]

Costa to Streaky Sergio

... because I never learn and rarely take my own advice
