Why's Baird suspended?

Why's Baird suspended?

too many yellow cards I think, he got his third in past three games

Ahh lame

[Tominator]

EDIT:  Baird suspended til November 24, should I trade him to Shawcross?

I'll do Baird to Shawcross and Cole down to Sagna (and cop -4 this week) so that I can upgrade Riise to Ivanovic next week (I can't afford to get upgrade Cole to Ivanovic this week)

Thoughts on that?

My back five will be: Baines, Ivanovic, Sagna, Shawcross, Reid

ele what would you do?

[elephants]

Arsenal and Stoke have rad fixtures which is pretty much what I base all my trades on so yeah, I like it!

Thinking about finally using my wildcard this week. As a quick 5 minute look at the players came up with this. Is it better or worse than my current team?

Current Team

Vertonghen - Rafael - Hangeland - Jenkinson - Fox
Hazard - Bale - Fellaini - Sterling - Kacaniklic
Van Persie - Ba - Crouch


Proposed Team
Begovic - Ruddy
Rafael - Shawcross - McAuley - Gorkss - O'Brien
Mata - Bale - Fellaini- Nolan - Sterling
Van Persie - Suarez - Berbatov

i like it, looks very good so I'd do it, defence is a bit weak but midfield makes up for it... now help me?   ;)

[Tominator]

team now stands as:

Begovic - (Foster)
Baines - Riise - Reid - Shawcross - (Sagna)
Hazard - Fellaini (C) - Mata (VC) - (Michu) - (Britton)
Tevez - Ba - Lambert


1.7 to be spent next week on going Riise to Ivanovic; favourable draw this week so hoping for at least 60

I would say the mids and forwards make up for it ;)
Honestly I don't see much point in investing money into the defence and keepers. The majority of defenders get their points from clean sheets and since that relies on the other players to also defend well they can lose their clean sheet points without making a mistake themselves. So that's why I prefer to down the money in the mids and forwards since they get their points through individual efforts rather than team efforts.

Why exactly do you want help with Tom? Honestly I wouldn't bring in Ivanovic now Terry is injured. May be spending the next few weeks (or however long Terry is injured for) playing CB so he won't be running down the wings putting in crosses to get the assists...

but wouldn't Luiz and Cahill do that instead? They could still have Ivanovic at RB, Cole at LB, and Luiz and Cahill at CB

What exactly did Terry do - is it leg, knee or ankle? Looked nasty... How long is he out?

Don't worry mate I did all my trades already... Riise --> Ivanovic was never gonna be this week, I could alternatively upgrade Lambert to Berbatov but Lambert has QPR this week and I reckon he'll do well soon so might hang onto him

[elephants]

Sweeping changes need to be made to WithoutAKalou.

Traded Caulker (8 points) and Toure (5 points) for Williamson (2 points) and Valencia (2 points)

-.-

So annoyed! If I had done the trades this morning I would have has 0.3 in the bank, but just did it and I have 0 in the bank ;(

That is possible Tom, but looks like Azpilicueta is getting a shot at the RB spot at the moment...

[northernstar]

Who's setting up for Cup week 17?

Well Cole is out at the moment so Azpilicueta could go to LB and Ivanovic RB
