It was me in TRK. My app was definitely showing 4 yellows in the gameweek history page, but down to three now! Bonus, because that does ease the concern slightly.
Like others he may well go for me after the Hull game. He's the sort of player that could cause Man U problems though, so if I have more pressing concerns, it won't worry me.

I had planned to also sell him (Rondon top of my list) if the injury was serious, but I'll probably keep him for now, despite the dip in form.
Hopefully he'll be back for next week against that dodgy West Ham defence. Remy is back from injury so I wonder if Palace will switch to 4-4-2 now and if that will positively impact Benteke's FPL returns.

He has to go.!!
Have 2ft but 0 in bank.
Who would you bring in? Crouch, Carroll? Origi?

OK. So he hasn't been performing recently as I had hoped.
Therefore, replacing with Defoe is on the agenda.

Re: Benteke to Palace 27m + 5m Add on's.
Anyone thinking he might be dropped for their next match?
Just a hunch because he hasn't scored for ages and has also produced some horrible underlying stats recently - for example not a single goal attempt yesterday! They also have Remy who should be capable to score some goals and Benteke's recent slight injury might still be relevant to some extent.
But I haven't seen Palace's matches recently, so what do you guys think? Has he played well despite not scoring? Is he still a crucial target for their crosses or could he be replaced?

This is a concern of mine too. He was one of my potential targets for their upcoming good run of games, but I get the feeling that Allardyce might not rate him fully, or at least there's a danger of that I feel, particularly as he's started poorly since Big Sam arrived, and there was talk of him being taken off penalties etc.Finisher1 wrote:Anyone thinking he might be dropped for their next match?

All he's done for me is lose 0.2 in TV since I brought him in. Still, he's about to go on the run of fixtures I brought him in for:
EVE, bou, SUN, stk, MID, wba
I certainly don't have a spare transfer for him, and he can't be worth a hit to remove, so, in the words of Gary Barlow, I'm going to "have a little patience."

If he's only just now going on the run of fixtures that you brought him in for, then why have you owned him earlier than necessary?MPTree wrote:All he's done for me is lose 0.2 in TV since I brought him in. Still, he's about to go on the run of fixtures I brought him in for:

Mis-typed, I guess. Brought him in for the Swansea game. Though I will occasionally move a week or two early on a player if it saves me a transfer down the line, as I think many FISOers would.Football Hero wrote:If he's only just now going on the run of fixtures that you brought him in for, then why have you owned him earlier than necessary?MPTree wrote:All he's done for me is lose 0.2 in TV since I brought him in.

Re: Benteke to Palace 27m + 5m Add on's.
Whenever I'm in that situation, I either save the transfer or use my transfers on other players. I don't really like getting non-premium players in earlier than I'd really like to. For instance Carroll has been my placeholder instead of an early move for Benteke, and Carroll has done ok and been unlucky not to get a few more goals, he's certainly looked fairly lively over the last few weeks.MPTree wrote:Mis-typed, I guess.

The upcoming fixtures run is very good but he is just woeful this season.

Scored 2 after coming off the bench last night in the FA Cup. All aboard?

I think i will hold. Partly because i see so few third striker options but also the fixture run is delicious and surely big fat sham will have them firing soon.
My main reason for chopping him was to raise funds for Baines but think i will wait to gw 24 for Baines.
