I'm looking at pulling the trigger on Azpilcueta :arrow: Evans but I'm not sure if I should do it this week. With the fixtures they have:
Azpil (EVE (A))
Evans (SOT (H))
I'm not who would be more likely to keep a clean sheet. A close one in my eyes.

As there were no big name strikers that came in during the transfer window, will probably do the benteke > Wilson move. Not worried about catching any rises, next few games for Wilson look good and he has the form/confidence.

would you do Darmian :arrow: Shaw? considering Shaw's improving form for club and country and the fact his price is still rising?

Seems a pointless sideways move. I think Darmian is the better pick personally.

Chasing last weeks points IMO and I suspect you've missed most of the Gomis train. He's not going to be a goal a game striker no.

Made the same move, now I have enough in the bank to upgrade one of my mids to Pedro, but holding off on that until after Saturday, no use in taking a hit for this, especially given Pedro's tough fixture.

I'm reluctantly transferring out Mane (2 transfers and happy with rest of squad), can't decide between Sako or Ayew. Looking at upcoming fixtures I'm favouring Ayew, unless anyone has any thoughts ? £7.8m to spend

Is Depay :arrow: Sanchez worth a hit in your opinion? In theory Depay should be a perfect FPL player, he's a winger in a top4 side and on corners and direct free kicks. But when I watch him play he just looks lost.

Sanchez has been equally poor tbf. I'm considering getting rid should he blank against Stoke.

Hi all,

I'm looking to get rid of two out of targett, o'shea and montero. I've 0.5 in the bank however o'shea has decreased in value by 0.1 already.

Any suggestions for who to change first? Looking around the bargain end of the spectrum any way but should I invest the extra 0.5 in midfield?

I'm struggling to think of anyone to bring in as replacements, it seems all the form players are out of my reach already haha.

Any and all help gratefully received!

If you haven't already factored it in, DePay is likely to drop in price in the very near future.

Maybe dumping him now might help the landslide.

And you could pick him up again at Christmas for a bargain price just as he works out he has at least to try to go outside his man once or twice so they don't keep showing him the inside and blocking his shots.

You want to get rid of Mane just after he finally posted the returns his early form promised?

I wouldn't do it mate. He is still fpl gold, and just as likely to return explosive points as the other two, if not more so given his proven experience.

I'm actually thinking of bringing him in now he's dropped.

Sanchez's finishing has been poor, but his underlying stats are the best of all midfielders in terms of touches in the box and shots.

This says to me we owners have been a little unlucky not to get some decent returns thus far, but should do so very soon.

He is still the best goal scoring mid in the game, so just be patient is my advice. :wink:

What would you do then ?

Schmeichel/Schwarzer
Kolarov/Koscielny/Azpilicueta/Targett/Francis
Hazard/Toure/Ritchie/Fletcher/Mane
Aguero/Wilson/Benteke
2 transfers, no money

I'm happy with defence and strikers. Toure is a keeper, Fletcher is 5th choice and I'm giving Hazard and Ritchie a few more games to produce points. Doesn't leave me much to choose from, Fletcher to Wanyama to make £0.1m ?

What's your starting defence for this game week ? If it's half decent, how about Sako or Redmond in for Montero, that would help to get a better defender in next transfer

Personally I think your team is fine, and if you're happy with it do you have to make a change?

My only advice on maximizing this gw's points potential:

If it was my team, the only things I would be wary of is Benteke and two BOU attackers.

I'd be tempted to do Benteke to Gomis to take advantage of Gomis against Watford. I see Benteke struggling against MU, and if you really want Benteke, then you can always bring him back in for Gomis next gw when he then has two consecutive 'easier' fixtures.

Two BOU attackers may work out ok given their nice fixtures, however I wouldn't be comfortable having two in such prominent places in my team.

Wilson is probably the best option of the two, so I would be tempted to get rid of Ritchie and maybe bank some cash for future upgrades. Maybe for someone like Sako as you mentioned. Better goal threat than Ritchie thus far and should make you some nice profits over the coming weeks.

These are of course forced changes if you really think it's necessary, otherwise I think your team is looking pretty solid. :wink:

Just for the record redcat, so you don't think I'm trying to give you bad advice, this is my team:
2015-09-10 00.18.37.png
I made one unnecessary change this gw really, but couldn't sleep until I did it.

Kompany out for Kolarov :roll:

I also have 1.0mil in the bank for defensive upgrades once Targett and or Gomez stop playing.

I was tempted to spend it on McCarthy to Fabianski, but don't think it's worth the -4.

Hopefully Butland can get a few saves.

Do you think it's worth a hit?

Will shift Diouf, but sticking with Payet and Reid for the decent fixture. Wilson is the obvious choice, but Rondón as a punt is intriguing.

WC active:

Sinclair + Mahrez + Gomis + 0.5 ITB
OR
Sinclair + Ayew + Sakho + 0 ITB

I'd use 3 man rotation where always 2 of these players will play. Rest of the attacking players are: Sánchez, Pedro, Silva, Agüero, and Wilson.

Could easily see Mahrez's value go down very quickly if he fails to score points in the coming weeks...

I've just realised that I now have Gomes, Gomez and Gomis. I'm so pleased with this I might roll my transfer over.

Depay :arrow: Ayew

Did it yesterday evening fortunately.

Keeping Diouf, wasn't expecting a return this GW regardless, the next two look very promising.

Really fancy getting in some spurs coverage with sunderland and palce up next, waiting on news on Christian Eriksen and wether or not he's likely to start

Montero > Eriksen

or

Montero > Chadli
