definitely get rid of distin, perhaps bring in a birmingham defender (one of the cheapest clean sheets candidates this year)MHiggi wrote:Cheers Ironfist. It does look as though I need to get rid of Distin - shocking run of form and terrible next 4 GW's - but I can't swap him for the obvious Evra as I'm not allowed any Utd players.
I could move to the reliable Chelsea defence and get A Cole back in.
And I'd rather not take a 4-point hit for Defoe for an away game at Villa. Having missed all his price rises this week I think I'll hold off bringing him in.
Or will I? 80 minutes to decide!
Also who do you think I should captain? No obvious candidates in my team
I guess I haven't got Birmingham/Stoke defenders in because I have goalkeepers from those clubs, but they do seem as good as any for clean sheets this season. Only thing is that saves me even more money, when I think I should really be spending it on some guaranteed point-getters (if there are such a thing).roneilc wrote:definitely get rid of distin, perhaps bring in a birmingham defender (one of the cheapest clean sheets candidates this year)
I wouldn't go for defoe because I see him getting a mere 2 points today. Captain Bent against a very weak Wigan defence, can see bent scoring at least 4
Hi, thanks for the advice - I've just seen the Anelka injury so I agree he isn't the way to go. I also saw that you were putting Santa Cruz in your team and thought that you have more faith in him than I do! Since that one doesn't have to be done this week I may see how things go against Stoke.Ironfist wrote:Hi
Cahill and Zamora are good choices for the dgw, though you can also consider Klasnic...
However, I'm not sure Anelka is the best Drogba replacement. You should also consider a ManCiteh striker, maybe Tevez or SantaCruz.
They're locked in for the season I think. They've both proved that I shouldn't be afraid to pick them against even the best teams.Ironfist wrote:Keepers: Fine. Keep an eye out for Sorensen's condition.
I've just got Cahill in and I think he represents decent value as he gets regular bonus points and the odd goal.Ironfist wrote:Defence: Cahill & Mears can and maybe should be replaced. When opportunity presents itself, so should Cashley. Do consider a FU defender, perhaps Ivanovic and/or Zhirkov (depending on game time) and maybe even Dawson (TO).
Tuncay is my dud here. If I bring in Modric/Kranjcar then I'll have a hell of a selection dilemma each week with that midfield, whereas I would normally have a cheapie who's a regular on my bench a la Bowyer/O'Hara.Ironfist wrote:Midfield: Sanli must go, Fab must stay the others when and where opportunity presents itself. Consider Kranjcar/Modric, Giggs and a BI MF maybe Bowyer as a cheapie.
I got Zamora for the DGW and he's actually looking fantastic at the moment. The fixtures point towards getting rid as you say, but I'll weigh up those options later on I think.Ironfist wrote:Strikers: Keep Defoe & Bent and replace Zamora after gw21. Consider ManC Tevez/Bellamy or an expensive Rooney or Torres. Look out for new transfers during January window... Nistleroy *cough cough*
Well,... have you solved this one yet? I have the exact same issue!Not that you'd make an effort to reply in my RMT thread too What are you going to do on this one?MHiggi wrote:Lampard is coming in, and he will wear the armband, that much I know.*
But who to take out: Fabregas or Arshavin? Cesc is the obvious choice since he's still an injury doubt, but I lose 0.6m from the sale making him much harder to get back in. Arshavin isn't flourishing even though Arsenal are doing well at the moment so I'm leaning towards doing Arshavin Lampard at the moment, leaving me 3.3m in the bank. Knowing my luck AA will have a field day at home against Everton though...
Haha, just the 10 seasons in between!
Hard to say, probably got injured!
Only 1 FT and 0.1m in the bank to improve on this for GW4. I'm happy enough with where the bulk of the money is spent, it's mainly the bench and King I'm not so happy with. Since I'm priced out of moves like Dendoncker Cantwell, or King Barnes, it's probably best to roll this week's transfer rather than take a hit.
