Any thoughts on either of these? I'm leaning towards the first one.
First one.
I'm now trying to work out if I want Ramsey or Aguero.
If keep the same now the three would be:
Ivanovic, Ramsey, Naismith
If changing I think I would go for:
Amat (or another 4.5 defender) ,King, Aguero
I want Aguero as I do think he will explode. Although there are a few tough fixtures for City coming up. I actually regret taking Aguero out of my wildcard team earlier now. Could have done Begovic, Ivanovic, Ramsey, Naismith to Lloris, Wilson, King, Aguero. Now I am 0.1 short. The latter would mean my front 6/7 are all from different teams which might be good to do. Keeping Ramsey would mean 5/7.

I thought about Ivanovic but i'm starting to think that's just chasing last weeks points. He's obviously been given license to bomb forward, but is he going to do that against Manchester City or Arsenal? Probably not. Plus Mourinho didn't seem too happy with his defence after the Everton game so maybe he'll be a bit more cautious from now on. Any Chelsea fans want to weigh in on this?
If you need 0.1, maybe you could bring in Boyd from Burnley as your 5th mid instead of King. He's 4.4 and he'll be nailed on to start soon.

I think he'll still be going forwards, one of the goals we conceded vs Everton was from a set play and Mou was angry because they spent an entire afternoon that week defending against them. All the goals were actually due to sloppy marking from Cahill and Terry. Interestingly ivanovic was the one who scored the only goal vs City last season at the etihad. But Mou does tend to be more defensive against top teams, but I wonder if that will change this season now that we have Costa and Fabregas.
I do think he has a better goal threat than the others, worth paying the extra. The only uncertainty is how Luis fits into the back line which we're yet to see.

Ivanovic went forward last season due to us lacking height. So we pushed Ivanovic up to get onto the end of goal kicks rather than lose possession on every 50-50. Azpilicueta isn't as good on the left hand side attacking wise anyway so it's a no brainer to put Ivan forward to add a bit of width, although realistically we should be using Azpi and Filipe Luiz as the fullbacks to give another dimension. Ivanovic always does this start of the season but as the season goes on you'll find out how suspect he is at attacking, he also gets caught too high up the pitch but that's the reason for Willian in big games but as seen by Palace and Villa away, both times we lost to them attacking Ivanovic's side...
We'll be a little more expansive, at home vs the big teams I reckon we'll try to do what Italy do, keep possession for long periods and when the teams overcommit hit them on the counter attack.
In your position, probably Balotelli. Maybe hold and see where Rooney plays this weekend.
(This is assuming you don't have money ITB or a WC active)
0.4 itb, wildcard not active.
I was thinking Balo and then swap to Welbeck after 4 weeks. If I do wait a week then Rooney will drop in price again (assuming he is not at striker/does not score) and odds are Balotelli will get more points this week so if I am going to make the change, it makes sense to do it now.
I also need to shift out Mata before this week starts (I have 2 FT's) and already have Sterling, Siggy and Schurrle (will not consider Ramsey and have 3 Chelsea players.)
