With Sergio
Aguero out for 2 Premier League matches due to the the FA's ruling, many
managers owning him will have to make the decision on whether to keep
him or to sell him for the time being.
Here are my thoughts on some options that you could do to handle the
Aguero situation well.
Firstly, if
you plan on using your wildcard during the international break between
Gameweeks 3 and 4, then you should not have a big problem with Aguero
getting banned. Simply have a little cash
set aside for you to bring him back into your team in the coming weeks.
Naturally,
many who own Aguero but not Ibrahimovic would lean on to taking in
Ibrahmovic immediately. He has done well but currently is priced at
£11.8. That is a £0.3 increase from his original
price. If you spend on him, you may not have the resources to get him
back in the coming weeks.
Next, if
you are thinking of building on your team value then the go to forwards
for these 2 upcoming Gameweeks are Romelu Lukaku and Harry Kane. Why so?
Well, this is because many managers are
transferring out Aguero and his price has dropped to £13.0 from £13.1.
This will drop further in days to come. Therefore, there is not much use
of keeping Aguero on your bench as he depreciates.
Everton
will be playing against Sunderland (A) and Middlesbrough (H) and as of
now Lukaku is priced at £9.0. His price will set to increase when he
does well and when even more managers take
him into their team. It is the same for Harry Kane, Tottenham face
Stoke (A) and Sunderland (H) and although Kane has not started scoring
yet, he is at £10.9 right now and Spurs will look to make the most out
of these 2 fixtures to try to straighten out their
season. These are great opportunities for them to have their price to
increase.
The idea is
to increase the value of the player that you take in for Aguero during
his ban and then buy him back when he is cheaper when he makes his
return. That way, you get more value in your
team and can invest in other areas that you wish.
Lastly, if
you are using your wildcard for a later date, and cannot seem to take
out Aguero without a points hit, I would say this is an appropriate time
to take a hit. You should always try and
field a proper starting 11 and if you can get by the week with a -4,
that would not be too bad. At the maximum, if your team needs a couple
changes then a -8 is the last resort. That is highly not recommended but
if you face a number of injuries and also the
Aguero ban, then you may look into the -8.
That is my
take on the Aguero situation, personally I have taken out Aguero for
Lukaku as I already have 2 Tottenham players in Lamela and Eriksen.
