[FPL] - GW28 Transfers

Juxtapose · 08-03-2012 3:07pm

Went for an 8 point hit due to alot of players being absent last week.

Hopefully made a good decision long term, what u think?

Aguero - Rooney
Kelly - Skrtel
Sess - McClean

have avoided big hits all year, hopefully this one can pay off..

Jimmy Iovine · 08-03-2012 3:13pm

Anyone getting in any Everton players?

I was half tempted again by Drenthe. Then I remembered how let down I was by him during the last DGW, 23 minutes and 1 point.

roryc · 08-03-2012 4:45pm

I wouldn't go near Drenthe, he was terrible when I had him and don't think he's ever guaranteed a game.

Is it worth taking a 4 point hit to get a Liverpool mid in for Sessegnon this week? I usually get a little over excited about these DGWs and end up with lots of dead wood afterwards but at the moment I don't have any DGW players.

I can only afford either Spearing/Henderson/Maxi Rodriguez

Unless you absolutely need not to lose 0.1 on Sess I don't think it is. Forget Maxi anyway. He's played only 7 games (including 2 15 min appearances) this year. Spearing & Henderson don't really grab points. So you'll be looking to just break even your -4.

Or you may just give Drenthe another chance

shadowcomplex · 08-03-2012 7:24pm

Would any of you sell bale or silva for young, if so which one or should I hold off?It will cost me 4pts

Jax Teller · 08-03-2012 7:46pm

No I wouldn't get rid of either for young

Maggie McGaggie · 08-03-2012 8:52pm

SUBSTITUTION
Joleon Lescott is on now to replace Vincent Kompany - and City come close to an opener. A corner is played short to James Milner, he crosses into the box and Kolo Toure rises high to plant a header down which Rui Patricio kicks out. Very sharp stop from the new Portugal number one.
1810:
City are still down to 10 men at the moment with Nigel de Jong filling in at the back - and Sporting have an effort. Joao Pereira pushes forward from right-back and fires in a low shot which Joe Hart beats clear. Good save from the England man.
1808:
This is bad news for Manchester City. Bad news indeed. Captain Vincent Kompany has pulled up and is coming off after just eight minutes. Possibly a calf injury. He had his hand up instantly

Dempsey · 08-03-2012 9:08pm

Feck!

carlcon · 08-03-2012 9:56pm

I hope Kompany is healthy and capable of living a full happy life... but I did just punch the air at the news. Never happy to see an injury, but a couple of weeks out would be favourable.

*Edit* - Early reports from City saying 10 days.

People reckon Clichy will be a starter for the rest of the season?

Shane732 · 08-03-2012 10:52pm

Plus will Evans start now that Smalling is back and most of the United defence is back?

I could drop Kompany for Clichy and upgrade Evans....

mailburner · 08-03-2012 11:21pm

works out perfectly for me
can leave richards in now and swap kompany for skrtel and
two transfers also this week for me
not going anywhere near suarez...no thank you, dgw or not

Ultimately, Smalling and Jones will both be preferred to Evans, but as it is now... Evans is probably safe for the time being.

Mostly because Smalling and Rio can't go 5 minutes without getting injured. I've been following those back 4 very intently over the last month because I brought Smalling in instead of Evans. At the moment, there still hasn't been an important game when all 4 were fit and fighting for places in defence. Either Smalling/Rio has been injured, Jones has been in midfield, or all of the above.

Evans has benefited from remaining fit. That's all that's going for him really. And with Smalling injured and a bloody mess again tonight, it's probably safe to say Evans will be playing for the foreseeable future.

FatRat · 08-03-2012 11:53pm

Reina in for Lindegaard - Miyaichi in for Sess. Transfers confirmed.

As far as I'm concerned a good keeper is a must for the end of the season. You only have 2 and if both are on fairly s**te teams there will be little chance of clean sheets. Reina has amazing fixtures from now til the end of the season. I'd expect at least 5 or 6 more clean sheets and I have Vorm to back him up when the fixtures are a bit tough. So now I've a Pool defensive player, Spurs defender and City defender. Next is united and the backline is sorted imo.
Miyaichi's a bit of a gamble but he's been heaped with praise since he joined Bolton and they've amazing fixtures but I'm not expecting much from a 4.9 mid overall.

RB100 · 08-03-2012 11:53pm

Yea I have Jones but I don't think I will put him in I'm just not convinced of United and I really don't think they will keep a clean sheet. Coming from a United supporter.. I'll just stay with Enrique, BAE, R Taylor, Lescott

roryc · 09-03-2012 10:09am

So Kompany and Kelly both confirmed out for at least this weekend. I'm on a wildcard so Lescott seems the obvious choice, seems to be assured of a game and has banged in two goals recently.

It leaves me 4.1m for another defender, any ideas? Shotton seems a steal at 4m, but not really guaranteed a start. Caulker also seems ok at 4m, but Swansea aren't near as tight at the back as they used to be. McCauley at West Brom is the only other viable option I can see, but I can't really put much faith in a WB defender.

Also debating whether or not to include Sigurddson in the first 11 - City missing two key defenders could weaken their defence enough that if Swansea score, he's likely to be involved.

Lemlin · 09-03-2012 11:55am

Don't know what Mancini was doing last night risking Kompany in a Europa game last night. Kompany is probably the most consistent defender in the PL this year and if City want to win it, they need him fit.

Works out well enough for me because I've Sig in midfield but it's a pity to see Kompany gone. The past two weekends I've only been able to field ten players and I now have Kompany, Valencia and Kelly injured for this weekend.

Still won't be taking a 4 point hit to get anyone in. I should definitely be able to field 11 this weekend.

Maverick91 · 09-03-2012 1:36pm

Hello all,

Would you do Valencia > Nani for a 4 point hit ?

ciantheod · 09-03-2012 6:06pm

Am seriously thinking of bringing in Oxlade C for sess , but worried no where else mentioning him as an option , is he injured ?

Lemlin · 09-03-2012 6:10pm

He's not guaranteed to start or get near 90 minutes and I heard he picked up a slight knock the other night.

Been waiting on Guardian team sheets to see if he's listed .he's cheap , gets assists and goals when he plays .if he's a doubt back to the drawing board to replace sess with 6.2 as im also getting in rooney for ageuro , may look at rosiky

That mostly depends on whether you want a quick fix (short term) or a player to stick by until the end.

There are probably better options than Nani if you're on every week making changes. But if you're looking for someone who's likely to do you well until the finish, Nani is one of the best choices, for sure.

manual_man · 09-03-2012 6:39pm

I think there's a serious amount of value midfielders now. Seriously thinking of transferring Silva out for a cheaper alternative

Cantona's Collars · 09-03-2012 7:13pm

Anyone taking a chance on the enigma that is Drenthe? I want to get rid of Sessegnon,I have Silva,Bale,Sigg,Mclean already and can't afford Dempsey.

Been contemplating giving Drenthe another chance but also veering towards Cleverly as I reckon he'll play and do well this weekend.

manual_man · 09-03-2012 7:19pm

Ahhhhhhhh don't mention the D word

That's what's holding me back,Pilkington could be an alternative.At home to a poor Wigan side.

There's so many options. Tho Valencia is on my radar. He might not play all games, but I think he'll play most. Have a decent sub to come on in case and you'll be sorted. Will be down to 7.6 after tonight

Feck it,I got Cleverly in,he'll do as a place filler if nothing else (or be my secret weapon this week) until Valencia is back next week.I need some kind of differential this week.

eh i dunno · 09-03-2012 9:29pm

Out with Sess and Richards and in with Drenthe and Enrique for me

How Soon Is Now · 09-03-2012 10:35pm

Ok so at the moment im looking at 3 transfers this week and taking a 4 point hit.

A liverpool defender for Kompany either Skrtel or Luis.

A cheap to mid range midfielder to replace Sess.

And Rooney to replace Aguero.

I was bit tempted by Suarez but he seems a waste.

So any ideas what i should go ahead with??

Enrique, Sig, and Rooney sounds good to me. If you already have Sig, McClean seems like the obvious one to replace Sess.

That's the "safe" swapping, anyway. I'll leave the differentials to others.

Reason i was thinking of maybe Skrtel is because he seems to be in a bit of goal scoring form of late but Enrique is cheap.

I dont have Sig or McClean but im unsure cause one is playing City and other is playing Liverpool.

Surman for Norwich has been mentioned good few times around the web.

Surman is decent, but I'd personally put him on the second tier of cheap midfielders, behind Sig and McClean. If you're looking to Norwich, I'd advise spending the extra bit for Pilkington.

Fair enough, Swansea have a tough game this week, but long-term, none look better right now than Sigurdsson, IMO.

Dempsey · 09-03-2012 11:30pm

So do I go with Vorm/Caulker or Krul/Simpson for the weekend. Not really expecting either to keep a clean sheet but what combo could/would/should be best?

manual_man · 09-03-2012 11:35pm

I'd go with the Swansea lads

rosskind · 09-03-2012 11:46pm

Got in Holt, might make him captain.

Lol. Swansea have generally been excellent at home all season. City haven't scored half as many on the road as at home. Arsenal have been scoring for fun at the Emirates recently. Newcastle have been poorer recently in defense compared to early on in the season

Anything else

rosskind · 10-03-2012 12:14am

I've been changing my mind all day but whatever the reasoning, in reality, it's unlikely either will keep a clean sheet so I think I'll go for one of each.

One team is away to RVP. The other isn't.

Hope that answers your question. :pac:

Normally that would be enough but Arsenal were knackered by the end against AC Milan and Ox/Walcott went off with knocks. Arsenal have a weak bench tbh

The_Kew_Tour · 10-03-2012 12:50am

How many Liverpool and Everton players have ye for this DGW?

I just have 1 in Enrique.

Should I try to get another? Have 2 FT.

I would think seriously before doing that if I was you. I've seen it happen a lot where he maybe doesn't get an assist or a goal one week and thousands transfer him out only for him to make them look foolish a few days later. I think he's well worth the extra few bob.

*Obviously you are thinking seriously because you said you are! But think again, is what I'm saying...

same here, I don't really think it's worth points hit to maybe bring in somebody like Suarez.

Just looking into it there finally, seemingly have to take at least a 4 point hit to bring in the one player I want. Ugh!

Need to offload Lindegaard I think as soon as possible now. Been getting away with him for long enough. Valencia has his problems. Richards I kinda want out as he's been a disaster since I brought him back in when Kompany is suspended. With it being a DGW, want to bring in Skrtel too. So it could be a 8 point hit quite possibly.

Valencia -> Chamerblain

Really considered Rosicky though it has to be said. Looks like his Dortmund self the past few games. Also remembered Ox picked up a knock vs Milan >_< Damn tiredness.

Kun -> Rooney

Rotation worries me tbh, more so than missing out on Rooney's goals dare I say.

__

Also, if Richards wasn't fit I'd have probably bit the bullet for Skrtel for these 2 games alone.

Dempsey · 10-03-2012 1:59am

Chamberlain? Are you starting him?

carlcon · 10-03-2012 2:03am

Arsenal have a bunch of midfielders that could really do something good between now and the end of the season. I've made a point of avoiding them because they're no doubt going to be infuriating, whether it's because of rotation and inconsistency.

Chamberlain can either be a great purchase or a bench warmer. Next season he'll probably be a top 1st team player, with a decent FF price too... but I don't have the balls to gamble on him at the moment.

I'd wish you luck with him, Ade... but I just saw who was 2nd in the Board league. Red card please!
