    It's a direct quote from the Beeb!!

    I'm considering it meself - him or Ibra.

    You'd like to think (if he plays) he's nailed on to score.

    But what if I transfer him in and he doesn't play? ;weep
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I think it's too bigger risk.





    Watch him play now and get a hatrick.

    I brought him back swapping with Vardy. If he doesnt play it's Capoue... ;pray
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Thats hardly a gamble as Vardy never scores anyway ;lol ;whistle ;run

    Mrs Grey - I just had a look at the person youre matched up against in the cup....

    They have a decent team ( strong defence and midfield ). Slightly weak up front with Origi (who doesnt really play 90 minutes) and Gray who's hardly prolific alongside Costa (if he plays). They have over 5M spare money and havent made a transfer yet. Looking at their TF history, they could easily get rid of Origi and bring in Kane or Ibra which I'd say would be a real threat to you.

    You've mentioned Costa and Ibra, but Kane is also in strong form and Spurs kicked Citeh in their last meeting when Citeh were thought a lot more highly of. I know Spurs are away but I dont see Citeh coping too well with Kane, Alli and Eriksen. Any way, it just another name in the mix.

    What do I think you should do? Glad you asked ;wink I cant see how much you have Hazard and Andy Carroll for (money wise) although I obviously know what their current TF levels are.... My suggestion is that you TF Hazard out for Pedro. Add the 3M + to the 2.4M you already have and TF Andy (whiplash and Boro decent defence) out for one of Costa, Ibra or Kane. (to go alongside Giroud and Aguero which would more than match the other teams forward line)

    Personally, if it was me, I'd get rid of Aguero for one of those 3 forwards mentioned too (my currently front line is Lukaku, Kane and Ibra which I think is very strong but I did have Giroud until he injured his ankle last week). Something like Costa, Kane and Giroud or Costa Ibra and Giroud but I know you most likely wouldn't contemplate THREE transfers ;lol ;wahoo

    Perhaps also, which might give you an edge to get to the next round ( if you just make 2 TFs ), contemplate using a chip like triple captain (he has Costa so buy Costa and match captain for captain).

    Or go the whole hog and use your wildcard ( I know, even more out of your comfort zone ;lol ) as they've genuinely got a good team (by that I also mean in terms of the squad compared to this weeks fixtures) and bring in Stanislas for Allen (who seems deeper these days ) and Alonso for Daniels (Bournemouth too porous) + Pickford out for Jakupovic who's the cheapest GK playing

    Never change Baz.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    I may change... But I'll probably transfer the old baz back after a couple of weeks ;biggrin ;doh
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Can you profile my next opponent please Baz? ;biggrin

    He's only looking to replace Lawro Mrs G, take no notice of him ;lol

    baz ;lol

    Thank you for your advice, which I shall consider over ;coffee

    I don't want to use any of my chips, I'm saving them for double game weeks.

    I'm not prepared to sacrifice long-term league points for the Cup. ;biggrin

    Cautious is my middle name. As you well know.

    I'm a sort of anti-baz. ;lol

    I'd just add, any time I bring in Kane, he is rubbish. Plus, Spurs goals come from other players almost as much. So I'm more minded to Costa - as with Hazard already in my team, I have better chance of goals/assists I think. It's a gamble going for 1 Spurs player, don't you think? Also, I could see that being a tight game with few goals. Whereas Chelsea are facing Hull. ;hmm

    Anyone ever log on to do their team selection and stare glumly at your motley lot, and think

    Or is it just me?
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    No.

    Me too.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    ;weep


    Then I feel the siren song of the wildcard.

  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I listened to that siren song and I was sunk..... ;tumbleweed

    ;lol


    Right, done. Points spent ;sofa

    Can't believe I've waited this long to play my second wildcard
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Is it cause you is well hard?
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    respect any decisions youve made Mrs Grey and yes, you are a bit of an anti me :) However, I'd think that a chance to stay in the cup would be priority ( although if it was last season I'd agree with you as you were battling so high ). After all, before this GW started you were only 5 points better off than me ;nonono

    Ironherb... If you stay in the cup this week I'll be more than happy to 'profile' ;lol
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    baz ;ok

    By anti I don't mean I'm against you ;whome

    The season's not over yet! ;biggrin
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    I know exactly what you meant ;biggrin
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Just had a look at the opponents team and they didnt use the 5M to take out Origi! and move in Ibra or Kane! Now thats a result (as per my expect analysis hehe) as I suspected he'd be benched today.

    This is a tight old cup game for me,
    currently trailing 24 to 23,
    He has one Chelsea player left to play, I have three Chelsea players and Heaton in goal for whoever tomorrow

    Mrs G, unless you're also in the Thailand league I can safely assume we're not up against each other, and will not be until the final ;thumbsup
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey

    It's quite exciting ;biggrin
