What are your thoughts and strategies regarding that "extra" guy in the middle. Who is your current el-cheapo?

Thread motivated by my TOTAL lack of direction in finding a replacement for Smertin :?

I currently have Dempsey,,, but I am shipping him out in favor of De Ridder soon because he's a rock bottom cheapo with as much potential, if not more.

i have O'Brien (Bolton)@3.8 who's played 3x90 mins, 1x70 mins, and 1x80 mins in the last 5 gameweeks. he's doubtful for this gw with a hamstring strain.

for a replacement to smertin, can i recommend three Sunderland midfielders? - leadbitter, wallace, and miller, in that order.

Edit:
Looking at De Ridder's stats and profile, i agree with Lovely_Camel and nimbus - he's a good buy.

Nzogbia, but i think i will ship him out after the double gameweek to free up some funds, looking at De Ridder as well for the transfer in.

Is he injured...? He's only my 2nd sub this week so not bothered, but I still hope it's not serious.

Muamba has been my resident cheapo who scores eff all, never gets into my team, but gets 2pts more or less every week.

I had De Ridder in my provisional team before the start of the season, but since it didn't look like he'd be first team, i switched to Muamba. But now that he might be getting into the team, has way more points potential than Muamba if he stays in the team, and is the same price as Muamba, i might consider switching them. But it would have to be on a quiet week when i had no other transfers in mind or when i use my WC, seeing as he would most likely be on the bench a lot of the time, so no point wasting 4pts to do it.

I've moved Smertin out for De Ridder. Smertin is about to fall, and hopefully De Ridder has some potential for a rise if he has a good couple of game weeks. Will be a bench warmer in any case.

Liam Miller, average but he's only 3.9M, plays all the games and has got a goal and assist so far.

I've got Dempsey...but Fulham have Liverpool, Blackburn and Man Utd in the next three, so he'll be benched or sold soon.

Kapo here. Yes I know, but I got drunk on Saturday night and did a double transfer that involved bringing him in for Smertin. I think the idea was that so many players kept getting benched or crocked that it might pay to have a decent first reserve. :roll:
