Re: RMT Oxford NZ
+100k drop in OR down to 305k so far. It was expected so not too much of a blow. 21 so far with Firmino, Aguero, Lingard (c), Jones ,Otamendi to go.
Vertonghen to Alonso done as planned. I could have waited another week and got Salah or kane back..
GW24 team so far
Adrian (Pickford)
Alonso, Jones, Otamendi, Ogbonna (Schindler)
Lingard, Stirling, Eriksen, Albrighton (Grosb)
Aguero (c). Firmino (vc)( Depoitre)
-4 Eriksen to Salah ? 1.5 itb

Re: RMT Oxford NZ
Lingaard as (C) and Aguero are a bit of a differential so you can claw it back even this GW if they deliver. The other 3 should give you protection to keep your OR.
Salah at Swansea is a frightening thought if you don`t own him but I would take at least one more day to think about it. See how Salah is in tonight's game. He will go up tomorrow probably. Somehow I don`t think that this time this process will be slowed down as it was when people were selling him in droves.

Re: RMT Oxford NZ
Regretting losing Eriksen all ready.
Note to self don't knee jerk without thinking about blank game weeks and who has a good fixture.
This week has been interesting. The good news is team value has increased again.
The bad news is I am sitting at about the same OR as GW 9 with only a few greens to stimulate the interest.
Team is as above with No Kane . The only players I would change are the bench and that does not get me to Kane easily. Aguero to Kane in a few weeks makes sense so the hit for GW24 should be the last transfer for a while. I should just turn off FPL for two weeks and forget it.

Re: RMT Oxford NZ
Team looks good mate. The greens will come. You are coming to the edge of a period where you had to do a lot of surgery and now my advice would be to be more settled and take less hits. I've noticed already in my first season that I do better when I don't chase points and just keep planning a few weeks in advance. Players who didn't score well this week are likely to next week if they are good players. if they have blanked a few weeks in a row and your judgement says they are playing well and have been unlucky, then keep them
for example de bruyne early on in the season, or even lingard now. he didn't score today and that's a bummer, but he could easily have had 3 assists.Your team is similar to mine with a number of shared players and too many GW28 risks. i'd save TFs when you can and plan for aguero out in GW28 as a start. decide who you can lose and can't lose. eg for me I can't lose sterling as I bought him at 7.9, but if I have to I can lose lingard and sacrifice .1 or .2 for having a playing player that week
if you come up with a rough plan from now until GW28 PM it to me or post it in here and we can chat it out. I always hit up a few people on here for advice because I get tunnel vision, and always think my own ideas are good when they only sometimes are. Oh and have fun. I've purposefully picked players who are fun to have in my team like aguero, salah, alonso etc. I'm very competitive but have chastised myself for letting FPL tamper my enjoyment of games. I am a united tragic but was fuming during our 3-0 this morning due to (C) lingard letting me down

That’s a solid 1st 10.5
The one (double) change that I’d suggest is low priority. Build up your two transfers and then ask again, it’s not worth a -8

Re: RMT Oxford NZ
Thanks for the advice above. ^^ NWJ and SP
The no Kane situation is a concern so rolling transfers this week I think is the best option and look at the blank GW coming up.
Maybe looking at down grading Gross for a cheap bench player and upgrading Albrighton but that all depends on who blanks and both of those are likely to play GW28
GW25 team so far
Adrian or Pickford TBC at present Adrian.
Alonso, Jones, Otamendi, Ogbonna (Schindler)
Lingard, Stirling, Salah (c), Grosb, (Albrighton)
Aguero (vc). Firmino , ( Depoitre)
Overlord is telling me to bench Lingard at 3 and do Ogbonna to Ward but I think I will pass on that.

Re: RMT Oxford NZ
I doubt the latter are better than the former tbh, as you are relying on a CP pen for Mili to get points?
I'm looking to up grade Schindler to Shaw\Moses, and would be better use of a Gross downgrade? Why did I band Sterling?

Re: RMT Oxford NZ
Stirling was a good differential pick, on another day it would have paid off (similar to my Lingard captain fail before).
I definitely want Mahrez over Lingard, Gross who are not performing. Gross has a bit of value still and Albrighton was a punt that floated well but now is in deep water with a short stick.
Schindler can stay on the bench for a while in my team. so running with 442 and a playing 2 points a player bench.
Moses and Shaw are not guaranteed 60 minutes I prefer Moses over Shaw though.

How much is Gross?
I'd probably go 4.5 and Schindler to Moses for that idea?

I have poor team value and only 0.6 in the bank. I would love to ditch Gross atm.
Your 3.1 itb is great.
I am really tempted no to roll and loose some OR if Lingard, Gross blank again. Must get some sleep. Working 6am to 7pm today with a big concrete pour and now nearly midnight and I am kidding myself that the paper work will get done while I am worried about FPL.

Re: RMT Oxford NZ
I would like to change the squad and formation to include Sanchez , Man of the match (admittedly against a lower division Yeovil) looked like an eleven point haul and he only played 72 minutes. Only 3.2% ownership but looking like he is heading towards a price rise before the next deadline and maybe a large increase in ownership from those with better budgets than me.
Bournemouth fixtures look OK for a few weeks after the Chelsea match. Gross to Fraser puts 0.7itb but does not help get Sanchez.
Sanchez At 11.7 (the same price as Aguero) it would take two transfers and weaken other positions to get him in So a pass from me atm but could be tempted in a weeks time.
Midfield options to get Sanchez are limited. Salah and Lingard to Sanchez and Fraser leaving 0.1 itb but that seems a bit rash losing two players that could match Sanchez on their good days.
Aguero and Gross to Sanchez and Wilson gives me a good midfield and a poor front three with Firmino Wilson and Deportre. That also means that I would have to lose one of my other United players using another transfer so that does not work.
Looks like holding fire and hoping I am not priced out of the market before next week.

Re: RMT Oxford NZ
I think you have a fine team at the moment. Sanchez could be a great purchase, but you can always make the money by downgrading Gross and Depoitre, who are both too expensive for the bench.
You cannot have all three of Kane, Aguero and Sanchez. Aguero is great now, but the fear of rotation will come back after Jesus returns.
Here's an option, just postpone the Sanchez move for a couple gameweeks.see him play against better PL teams and then make up your mind.
That's pretty much what I am doing... I have no doubt about the player - I think Sanchez can be magic, but I really want to see him playing in a Mourinho team and make up my mind. IMHO he is too expensive to blanket change the team for unless 100% sure

Re: RMT Oxford NZ
Thanks BB. I have been looking to upgrade Gross rather than downgrade but that is something I will look at now. The 442 sort of relies on that position to work but I will b happy to rotate a couple of cheep players for that spot.
I must admit I had not thought of downgrading Depoitre but that also costs a transfer. Whilst he plays I think I will concentrate on other areas at the moment.

Re: RMT Oxford NZ
Ramsey for Gross is a budget breaker without Depoitre to Quaner making two transfers. I am liking what Arsenal offer for the latter part of the season so I will be weighing that move up as an option. This is an interesting time in FPL it is unfortunate that I am also preoccupied with work (and a bit of leisure as it is full on summer here ).

now on
Adrian ( Pickford )
Alonso, Jones, Otamendi ( Schindler, Ogbonna )
Albrighton, Stirling, Lingard, Salah (vc) ( Milivojevic )
Wilson, Firmino, Aguero (c)
Thinking about a Wilson C and not brave enough to give Lingard the band again.
No more transfers untill gw28 now.

I now have the money for Aguero Kane as planned but I really want Coleman (maybe even for gw27) so
Option 1
GW27 Otamendi Coleman
GW28 Aguero Kane
Still leaves me with Ogbonna and Schindler to deal to.
Option 2
GW28 Aguero Kane , Schindler Coleman , -4 Stirling 7.0 player for gw31
Still leaves me with Ogbonna
Option 3
Non of the above and look at Ogbonna and Albrighton ?

The Gross to Milivojevic move went well along with C Aguero.
Hoping for a Firmino and Milivojevic haul to pull me up a bit. I have Alonso and Salah to come as well but so does every one else.
