Kane set to be out for 2 months, should i swap for Costa or Lukaku?

Lukaku 

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,775]

Forgot to do my team this week and put Aguero back in my starting lineup.

He's on my bench and Leroy Fer is in my team

[ForeverAndEver 71,469]

Took KDB over aguero

[Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310]

Put aguero back in last night and made him captain, so looking decent. 

All my defenders have conceeded though which is shite.

[gazza27 15,283]

Forgot to put augero back in,a measly 23 points this weekend 

[ForeverAndEver 71,469]

Had a shocker.

[The Monk 3,207]

early wildcard has worked a treat for me so far

[boyd09 390]

Decent week so far need a Watford win tonight with a few goals

[The Monk 3,207]

Trying to find a way to get Aguero in my team after this coming weekend, I currently have Ibra, Costa and Sanchez, would swapping those three for Aguero, Lukaku and Hazard be a good idea?

[Gaz52 11,837]

I can't get going at all this year, constant injuries and suspensions. I've got a good team on paper but they're all failing miserably 

I'm taking Hazard out for Sanchez

Actually I could also do Costa and Ibra for Aguero and Slimani but can`t make a decent judgement about Slimani just yet. 

[True blue 72 45]

Woohoo, I'm not last any more, in your face louden tavernier

[Gaz52 11,837]

Gutted. Was on for 3 clean sheets in that game until that fluke went in! I'll need to settle for the 2. 

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,775]

I'll be playing my wildcard after the international break.

I think this is a decent time to play it.

[ForeverAndEver 71,469]

Cech and Bellerin saved my week yesterday.

[Band of Brothers 10,303]

Had shocker this wknd fucking costa got more points than my bloody team.

[gazza27 15,283]

Done Awrite the last couple a weeks up to 12th

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,775]

Took a risk with my wildcard and spend big to go with Lukaku, Costa & Aguero upfront and more middle budget midfielders. It's working ok so far.

I ignored advice of putting Lakaku and stuck with Ibrahimovic and yeah was a mistake if it wasn't for Cotinho I'd be bottom.

Lukaku blows hot and cold but I start with him every year because he usually starts well and then fades. I'm already keeping an eye on other strikers who are in form for when he does eventually tail off.

Did well at this ages ago, was unbeaten in the work competition winning it three times in a row, and finished in the top 0.5% in 2010, had Cole, Lampard and Drogba from Title winners Chelsea that year, and they piled on the points.

(Took up a lot of my time though, and became a bit obsessive after a while, hence why I don't play it now.)

 

A few wee tips.

Keep up with the latest news on team selections, postponements and double fixtures.

Always pick your team at the last moment. Sometimes you can even get the team announcements early, or pick up injuries and managers choices for the game just ahead of the deadline and change the team accordingly.

Pick your teams right on the deadline. Really helped me when there were postponements, especially late ones.  I'd wait till there were only a few games left after postponements and bring in players from teams that were playing. Was even worth a few extra hits transfer points as you were virtually guaranteed to recoup the points or more from players playing whilst others had half a team missing. Could sometimes gain 30-40 points from having a full team playing.

Defenders from the bottom teams often got clean sheets when the bottom teams were playing each other, so was good to bring in cheap defenders from them when they had a run against the other poor teams. So look ahead at the fixtures.

And really important. Always pile in on in-form players playing twice in a game week, even if they cost transfer points The points transfer is quickly recouped when they play both games. 

Always go for the two likely top scorers over the whole season and stick, and it's usually the obvious ones, i.e.Aguero and Costa. If you don't get them in you're struggling every week.

Hope this helps.

I've never understood why people spend big money on keepers and defenders, especially central defenders.

One fuck up that leads to a goal and they are no better than the defenders and keepers at cheap clubs who have also conceded goals.

Generally speaking I go for a keeper at a poorer team because more often than not the number of saves they make earns them more poi at and I try to stick with full backs rather than centre halves because there is more of a chance of an assist for them.

It frees up a lot more money for players who really can make a big difference by scoring and assisting further up the park.

Sitting second and going well. 

Inspired choice to put lallana in helped my team last week.
