Agger for Arbeloa is a good move which I am planning to make myself this week. No a huge fan of the Agbonlahor move as I don't see Camara getting consistent minutes after this week, unless Heskey leaves and Wigan don't sign anyone else. Fabregas looks good to capitalise on the aforementioned good run of Arsenal fixtures so is an improvement for sure. The real question is whether you want a top strike force or a top midfield.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124060389050404946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-21503592894357379152008-12-03T20:02:00.000-05:002008-12-03T20:02:00.000-05:00here is my teamreina schwarzercarragher bosingwa c...here is my team<BR/><BR/>reina schwarzer<BR/>carragher bosingwa carvalho agger paintsil<BR/>ronaldo geovanni young ashbee McCann<BR/>cisse agbonlahor van persie<BR/><BR/>reina, carragher, bosingwa, carvalho, and ronaldo are undroppable from my team, bar injury<BR/><BR/>what do you think of these transfers<BR/>gw17: van persie -> king<BR/>gw18: agger -> arbeloa<BR/>gw19: agbonlahor -> camara<BR/>gw20: ashbee -> fabregas.<BR/><BR/>im not sure on the last two transfers, but i slowly want to move to a 4-5-1Nujrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535125057874457746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-59773559077147649912008-12-03T19:08:00.000-05:002008-12-03T19:08:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nujrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535125057874457746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-60490001254583596012008-12-03T18:35:00.000-05:002008-12-03T18:35:00.000-05:00I'm looking to retool too.

After being with 5 points of first place in my league, I've had 2 weeks in which my score was below the gameweek average, something that's never happened to me before.<BR/><BR/>As for which other United players to pick up, I would say Evra and Carrick/Berbatov. Evra is Bosingwa-esque in that he pushes up on the wing a lot. Carrick is a great player in great form but I'm not sure how good of a fantasy player he is.TD Ochohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865430769027223765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-72696810595046673722008-12-03T18:24:00.000-05:002008-12-03T18:24:00.000-05:00Ashwin - great call on Utd after Christmas.

The only question is whch three. Assuming you have Ronaldo that leaves you with either choosing a striker and a defender or two defenders as i think all the other midfielders are liable to rotation.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124060389050404946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-7761906854893278272008-12-03T18:15:00.000-05:002008-12-03T18:15:00.000-05:00My rules are to:Try to focus on better mids.Don't ...My rules are to:<BR/>Try to focus on better mids.<BR/>Don't be fooled by big prices.<BR/>Only one transfer per week.<BR/>Look for double rounds.<BR/><BR/>Don't be afraid to captain defenders. A lot of teams it will have a clean sheet more likely than a goal from a nominated attacker, plus there is the chance of a goal and assist from defence (plus bonus points).<BR/><BR/>Always have 3 Man Utd players in the team from January onwards.

Unfortunately it's incredibly difficult to stick to, and I've already failed several times this season... again. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes it's unavoidable due to injuries, etc. But too often the lure of big points from a great matchup is too big, and I pull the trigger... only for the guy I dumped to score while the new guy gets a yellow card... costing me 5 points + 4 for the transfer. It seems to rarely go the other way around.<BR/><BR/>Considering that even one extra transfer every 4 weeks will cost you almost 40 points for the season, you'd think it would be easier to say "no"...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064113989799274129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-86631358537130462372008-12-03T12:51:00.000-05:002008-12-03T12:51:00.000-05:00Great shout on the Ronaldo suspension, i didn't ev...Great shout on the Ronaldo suspension, i didn't even think to check.

My midfield with Lampard and Ronaldo is always going to eat some cash but I think you need at least 3 defenders/keepers from Chelsea/Pool/United.<BR/>I don't like many strikers hence why I want three okay guys who I can rotate in.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124060389050404946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-18579865427667024092008-12-03T11:10:00.000-05:002008-12-03T11:10:00.000-05:00As per the thread on Never Captain Nicky Butt..

So dont fear you can strap the captains armband to him this Saturday against shaky Sunderland! But sssshhhh dont tell the other managers in your league who may transfer him out or bench him!<BR/><BR/>I think you may regret getting rid of Defoe, Pompey have some great fixtures over the next few weeks and I can see him being one of the top strikers over the course of the season. I would say 8.3 million just about fits in to mid-range. You could possibly balance it out with a 6 million striker like King at Hull?<BR/><BR/>Also im not sure about Alex, do you know when Carvalho is expected to return? I cant find anything?? I think Alex will start this week ahead of Ivanovic who was only brought in due to the big Brazilians injury.Ollyceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092896923850952986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-22262039759655572812008-12-02T23:22:00.000-05:002008-12-02T23:22:00.000-05:00Meant to say Man U defence as well.Meant to say Man U defence as well.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12008668353438322113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-7677066316015037822008-12-02T23:18:00.000-05:002008-12-02T23:18:00.000-05:00I think your philosophy may have to change as well...I think your philosophy may have to change as well. The best teams are investing in defence. Agger and Traore are a bit too unreliable at the moment. It's almost worth having a full backline of Chelsea & Pool, or supplement with Villa+Fulham players. <BR/>Aren't many strikers worth a mention.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12008668353438322113noreply@blogger.com
