Fantasy football - player suspended for first 2 games, will I keep him or transfer him?

Question

the player in question is Richard Dunne (D - Man City) - he's suspended until August 25th so he misses Man City's first 2 games of the season. He's on my 5 teams so just wondering would it be wise to keep him on the teams or transfer him out?

Answer 1

Dunne generallyisn't a bad signing and most players miss games through suspension or injury. Also though you need to see what games he is going to miss. If he is going to miss games against the top four or bigger teams its definitely worth picking him as you lose points for letting in goals and he won't be playing.

Overall as a reaonably good and normally quite cheap he is still worth buying.

Answer 2

depends on which FF competition you're playing, how many subs and how many transfers you're allowed.  Difficult to answer without that info.

Answer 3

Well if your doing the Sun Dream team it may be worth keeping him in as he probably will score a reasonable amount of points over the first half of the season in total. He seems to pick up quite a few man of the match awards and forms a solid combination with Micah Richards that was missed towards the end of last year.

It's worth pointing out though that Daniel Agger and Martin Skirtel of Liverpool are both worth the same price as Dunne if you want to consider an alternative but personally I think Dunne will guarantee you good points.

Answer 4

5 teams? I will say transfer him from 3 and keep him in the other two. Not just because he will miss the first 2 games but because there are better replacements.

Answer 5

keep him.......
