That is exactly the time to leave the casino. Otherwise it turns into a losing streak and soon it's all gone.
I thought the time to leave was the first time you lose.

If I had Vardy-Kane-Lukaku I wouldn't be concerned with Aguero right now. 13.1 is far too much for someone you won't captain. Are you really going to captain him before GW18?
No, and that's why I didn't get him yet. I'll be forced to do it once his value reaches 13.3 though.

Why not? He scored a peach on his return... Southampton has been shaky and it's fair to expect he'll get more minutes. Also, no obvious captain choice other than Lukaku (bou).
I jumped on Aguero and have the armband on him. Could backfire but could also be instant punishment for those who go without.

Considering how weak defensively MCI looked I think Pellegrini might tell the defence to stay back and not risk another unfortunate goal which could lead to another disaster. Thus Aguero won't be part of an all attacking team, Sterling still looks unsure of what his role is and KDB is simply in a slump. Aguero might very well score, but he won't get more than a single goal while Lukaku (eg) could get a hattrick and Coutinho (Yes, Him!) could also get a brace. I doubt there'll be "instant punishment" this GW...

Reasonable arguments, but reason does not always apply to Kun, that's why he's 13.0
Time will tell
Lukaku and Coutinho are very good options as well so I might reconsider giving Aguero the armband. I know Southampton is no Newcastle but they conceded 3 against Man. United...
P.S. End of thread hijacking as far as I'm involved

Well, there are variations on the theme. In FPL acting before the event is beneficial but is usually derided unless you are proven right. Get it right too often and derision turns to resentment followed by accusations of arrogance.

This is the thing. You know you will want him later on and even if you think there are better immediate options you can be sure the FFS herd won't.
Back on topic, I cut Vardy last week. Yes, he has (now) scored 10 in 10, but the fixtures stiffen up now and holding both him and Mahrez feels like a leap too far.
You can easily justify any combination of Kane, Lukaku, Aguero, Vardy, Ighalo, Giroud at the moment, and I have done. It just doesn't include Vardy any longer.
For me at least, things are getting interesting in terms of defenders of choice and that's where my squad focus switches for the next couple of weeks.
As the conversation had completely veered towards a discussion of Aguero and was becoming quite lengthy it's been moved to the Aguero thread. Obviously the topics are pretty interlinked as many people are choosing between Aguero/Vardy and others, but a discussion of Aguero's performances in isolation seem much better suited to his dedicated thread, leaving this one accessible to those looking for Vardy discussion. Sorry for any inconvenience/lost context.
Vardy is being brilliant till now. By the price i bought him, getting one goal per GW is pretty outstanding. Leicester is on top of the board, and is being surprisingly good till now. I see them keeping their current great form, and winning lots of points against even the poor and the major sides. Don't see why should i sell him, He has been the best form forward in the entire league till now. I will just plan to sell him when his form get's worse, what i don't see happening at all. They are playing against United (who conceded against Watford) Swansea (who conceded two against Bournemoth), Chelsea (who has been poor till now), Everton (who has been brilliantly in their attacking threat, but hasn't been the best defensive line so far), and Manchester City (who just conceded 4 against Liverpool). Leicester are playing against great teams, but not necessarilly great defensive forms. I wouldn't be surprised to see him and Mahrez scoring some good points.
I'm scared of you Vardy. I'm scared of what you'll do to me if I sell you.
I know your value isn't gonna rise MUCH more, yet you were so cheap to buy, I feel attached to you and I just can't let go. You can score against anyone can't you. And I love your friend Mahrez too.
liquidfootball2 wrote:Check if it affects the selling price though, it doesn't for me.
Yeah. Got him for 6.4 so only the even drops affect me. If you are jumping off, now seems as good a time as any. With 2FT and no clear idea of how best to use them, I'm considering a short-term move for Giroud.
Kylo Ren wrote:That was only his second blank in eighteen games and he's about to drop, tough crowd this year.
It's not so much the blank as the substitution and doubt over starting the next game.
One game in a period where many more could be at risk through random rotation, just seems like he's a marked man and any excuse to sell is being searched for.
Two blanks in eighteen weeks is unreal consistency for a 6m striker and it all seems a little short sighted with a travel sick City up next and games against Bournemouth and Villa to come.
His ownership is still high enough to hurt if they get this wrong.
I just pulled the trigger and I feel like I made a huge mistake, like the whole season will suddenly go to sh*t. I just feel bad because it doesn't seem right .
Benching Vardy this week, certainly not time to ditch just yet but I cannot see him starting. I'm also concerned about how productive Mahrez will be considering he was withdrawn with fatigue only yesterday. At least 66% of the game are in the same boat!
Will reassess where I am with Vardy after the Bournemouth fixture.

At his price, you can easily move to get him back if you feel you have to.

Don't stress. Back yourself
If you transfer him out and then back in you will probably lose lot of money. Unless you were very late from the bandwagon.
No doubt the old trade out/trade back in is not ideal.
However the poster I quoted said he was worried about his season to shit.
Perhaps he was being tongue and cheek, however for you to suggest that making a poor decision on a transfer and potentially costing yourself a bit of money is the end of the world is harsh.
If it's anything to go by, I transferred out Mahrez a few games ago before his supposedly harder fixtures started (immediately after his hatrick), he scored 3 and got 1 assist in those next 2 games. That burning will haunt me for the rest of the season and has really taught me that form is everything, fixtures are very little - and surely one blank in so many games does not represent loss of form... You have been warned...!
It just seems a bit like going to a casino and leaving in the midst of a winning streak.
