[FPL] - GW 36 Transfers

    Seeing as money isn't a huge issue now I'm most likely going to wait til near the end of the week to do some transfers.

    The main one I'm thinking about is:

    OUT
    Either Sessegnon or Sinclair

    IN
    Either Ben Arfa or Cabeye

    Hard to pick which one to do? Edging towards Sess out and Cabeye in. Mainly because Sinclair has Wolves at home (ideally would have liked to have Sig but didn't have enough free transfers). Also Cabeye has less ownership than Ben Arfa-might not be the case by next Sat though.

    After that I might go for VP out and Jelavic in for a 4 point hit. VPs looking a bit tired now. His frist full season in years

    On the Barfa v cabeye thing. It has to barfa - he has higher points per game (slightly) despite a load of sub appearances for 0/1 point when he wasnt in favour - which clearly shows now he is in favour he has been well outscoring cabeye in that period.

    Cabeye also has an ankle knock, though he should be ok, but if getting him it might be worth waiting a bit to confirm he is definitely fit.

    The only down side to barfa would be if pardew suddenly changes tactics against the bigger clubs - chelsea and city after that - with the fear of being too open, but honestly i dont see that happening as they re playing with 3 solid midfielders and when ba and barfa drop back that makes it a 5.

    RVP out, Jelavic in

    Thinking of taking a 4 point hit to get rid of Sessegnon. Have Bale & Dempsey, not sure who to get in.

    I'm thinking the exact same transfer, RVP out Jelavic in. Will give me 5 guys with dbl wks, and 9.9 mln to use in last 2 weeks if needed.

    Cptn Bale or Jelavic tho is my big call.

    And whether Mignolet home to Bolton is better choice that Ruddy home to Liverpool who love giving keepers bonus pts!?

    I wouldn't captain a spurs player given their current form

    Form is temporary. Spurs bad form may continue, but my feeling is they'll pick things up for the remaining games. On the other hand I think Newcastle's form will dip, but if that happens I think it'll be down their fixtures as much as anything else, they have a horrendous run-in

    Any thoughts on who I should bring in lads? Thinking of selling RVP or Rooney for Cisse

    Get Papiss Cisse and captain him, you have no in form players for the DGW imo

    I'd wait to see what the story is with Ade first before you ship out Rooney or VP

    Walcott to BenArfa for sure!
    Maybe VanPirsie to Jelavic (did that meself this week) or Krul instead of Bogdan?

    If i swap anyone out for Van persie i just know he will start scoring :pac:

    Jelavic is in good form but Everton can great one week and ordinary the next.

    Also not 100 percent on what ill do with Ben Arfa yet he is playing some of the bigger teams for the end of the season and the system may be switched.

    Thought someone just posted my team....except moses/ mcclean and have shipped walcott for VDV
    I think you need to look at the last 2 games also, as I think in doing so a lot of people will have weaker teams- (eg: Newc players)
    In saying that I might take an 8 point hit to take big adavantage of DGW- komp- cahil was a shoe in before tonight so be interested see what ya do


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 343 ✭✭RB100


    Sorry didn't know this thread had started or else would of posted here not on the other thread. well here it is again


    I can't see any obvious changes at the moment apart from Jellyfish, if even him so my plan will be this

    Tevez(what a fail this week cus I sold Rooney) - Jelevic
    Valencia - Ben Arfa
    Fergason - Cabaye
    -8 point hit

    Leaves me with 7.0 in the bank. Opinions please?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭SpaceCowb0y


    Bale or VDV that is the question..... hmmmm....:rolleyes:


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,257 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    Bale or VDV that is the question..... hmmmm....:rolleyes:

    If you have either Bale or VDV at the moment, stick with them. If you have neither and are set on getting one in, get VDV imo.

    I have neither and was going on a coin toss! was edging towards VDV as iv had bale, think your right though!:)

    Already have Bale so that made my decision for me, would probably pick VdV if I didn't have either.

    The question for me is Mata or Dempsey. Mata has slightly better fixtures but Dempsey is guaranteed to play. A tough one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 20,698 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    ramires or raul mereiles hardly worth a punt ? they wont be saving themselves for the champs league with their suspensions so should get a good bit of game time ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,740 ✭✭✭Fowler87


    Bosingwa guarenteed two games for the double everyone reckon?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,081 ✭✭✭GetWithIt


    Have to transfer out Walcott. Have unlimited funds (15M), otherwise I'll be playing Stephen Ireland during the DGW (GW 33 transfer fail).

    Stoke - No options.
    Bolton - Already have Petrov. Pass.
    Chelsea - FA + Champions League finals make everyone a rotation risk. Pass.
    Liverpool - Gave Steve G a thought. He's missed the last couple of games and is probably a rotation risk before the FA cup final. Relegation form. Pass.
    Fulham - Dempsey the obvious choice. With Pog back fit I'd fancy them to score. However they have tough fixtures, both this DGW and through to the end of the season.
    Everton - Good fixtures this DGW and next. Pienaar has always been a favorite of mine and may get the nod. If only he took corners, etc.
    Tottenham - Have great fixtures this DGW and through to the end of the season. Have relegation form and a glut of injuries. Bale - BAE's injury would push him to left back based on the equivalent last year. Pass. VdV - Plays and scores big but only if Adebayor plays. Wait till Friday.
    Newcastle - THE form team. Tough fixtures this DGW and through to end of season. I already have Cisse and Simpson so may be best to hedge away from Newcastle. My nearest rival (-50 points) has Barfa so could get him in just to spite him and play it safe. By the same token there's no point in getting Cabaye.

    Needed to write that down.

    Should be in with a good shout

    1st game definitely - Ivanovic and Luiz suspended gives a backline of :
    cole/bertrand - terry - cahill(if not injured) - bosingwa

    Luiz back for the second game, dont know if either luiz or cahill would be viable rightback options to challenge him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,452 ✭✭✭spartacus93


    Larsson is going to miss Sunderland's last three games.

    Danny Rose will probably play left back. Spurs need Bale in attacking areas. I agree that VDV is the better option but I'd be very surprised if Bale played left back.

    Ivanovic is back for the Newcastle game AFAIK so I'd be surprised if Bosingwa played both games.

    Is a 12 point hit ridiculous??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,942 ✭✭✭AdpRo


    VDV for Theo
    Jellyfish for Tevez

    4 point hit, thinking of getting in Hibbert for McAuley or Lescott but not sure if it's worth another 4 point hit.

    Switched Mcclean for Cabye, only to see he's now showing up as injured (ankle) :mad: 75%chance of playing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,676 ✭✭✭thunderdog

    Best bet to leave transfers til late this week I think. Im hanging on til Fri night/Sat morning. Price changes aren't really a worry now for most people

    Happy days, that means all the assists should hopefully go to BArfa :D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 378 ✭✭John83


    Had planned to bring in BAE but am glad I waited. The obvious replacement is Walker.

    BUT, now I'm thinking with so many Spurs defenders out injured they will be weaker than usual at the back. Might leak a goal or two which is botches up CS points.

    Might I be better off concentrating on attackers instead of the defensive transfer?

    Thats what Im thinking. Unless you already have a DGW defender then you're probably better off focusing on mids and forwards. I only had BAE as my defensive DGW player but now I will have none. Im happy enough having Caulker, Turner and Verm at the back. There is a chance however that Everton might do well defensively this week. A risk that might pay off! Ha but also a risk Im not willing to take :p
