The Winning Strategy looking back at Gameweek 18 and forward to 19

39 points was the weekly average and coincidently what the team scored. It didn't stop a drop from 697,186 to 701,580. The second lowest position of the season. The captain Suarez success came to an abrupt end as he picked up a booking and nothing else. The only positive scorers were Hazard with a goal and Shaw, Walker and Giroud with assists. Ramsey is now injured and Walker is suspended for one game. Ramsey looks like he will miss 2 or 3 games. And in attack, Giroud and Lukaku have stopped scoring and don't look like scoring. I have 2 transfers available.

I will accept that Walker will miss a game and leave him on the bench. I cannot afford to be missing Ramsey even for 2 games so he will have to be replaced.  I need to replace him with someone cheaper so that I can buy him back. He currently costs 7.6 to buy, but I only get 6.6 when I sell which will be a loss of £1 million. I have 0.7 in the bank so I am looking for someone at about £6 million. The highest qualifying points scorers are Whittingham of Cardiff and Henderson of Liverpool. With Cardiff in turmoil and Henderson looking reborn, there is no real decision to be made.

I want to replace Giroud because he looks out of sorts. The way my season is going he'll probably burst into life straight away. But Remy is going well for Newcastle and is a bit cheaper than Giroud. So I am going to gamble and sign him. It is the time for taking chances. Lukaku survives for now.

Both new signings go into the team. Walker is already on the bench. He is joined by Shaw and Morrison. Zabaleta is captain as City play Palace at home.

Qualified for the cup which started this week but was defeated in the first round 50-39 by Fudge. Vey disappointing.
