GW 15 Transfers

Hogey007

I'm taking a gamble here doing this before he has played but i swapped Jose enrique in for Gallas before his price increases tonight.

Liverpool are at home to southampton at the weekend so i want him in for that.

I'm in the same boat as you however a .1 increase isn't worth the risk for me considering I've a couple of mill floating about spare. I'll wait to see what happens. Downing is surely dropped after a shocker at the weekend. If Wisdom starts and plays well I can see Enrique playing LW for a good few games.

Yeah I could regret doing it before he plays for the sake of 0.1 but i just figured that after tonight liverpool's next 7 fixtures are pretty decent so even if he does revert back to a defensive position i wouldn't mind having him in my team for the next 7 weeks. And Gallas was dropped at the weekend, he might well just have been rested for 1 match but i was considering getting rid of him anyway because spurs have kept hardly any clean sheets.
Just hope enrique doesn't get injured tonight now.

i follow enrique on twitter and he said something last night about having a sore back, hopefully its nothing to serious though...

anyone thinking about getting rod of michu ? was thinking cash him in for puncheon and roatating between puncheon and sterling as my 4 midfielder allowing me to upgrade jelavic to suarez

FutureGuy

Felliani and Baines to Wallcott and Enrique are the transfers I'm looking at right now...

Mignolet
Cuellar - Nelsen - Enrique
Cazorla - Wallcott - Michu - Sessegnon
Ba - RVP - Suarez.
SUBS: Huth - Clyne - Puncheon

Then next gw, Cazorla to Silva.

Why get rid of Fellaini? He was still on form and has had a week rest due to his suspension. One of the main players I don't have that I fear.

Would Mata to Bale be a smart move?

Yeah I don't really understand why people would hold onto him while he's suspended and then sell when he becomes available .

I'm thinking either Tevez to Suarez or Noble to Puncheon this week .

keep an eye on how Benitez sets Chelsea up, but yeah, it might be a good move ultimately.

Mata was playing noticeably deeper on Sunday, as were the whole team really.

Chelsea attackers may well have just become a bit expensive under Benitez. but i'd see how they do tonight. if there aren't many shots on Fulham's goal tonight, at home, then it may be wise to shift Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Torres, whoever people have from Chelsea, out of their FF team.

roryc

I'm torn as to who to get rid of between Mata and Cazorla, need to bring Bale in.

Looking at shipping out Baines this week for a 4m defender or downgrading RVP to Suarez.

The extra cash will be enough to upgrade to Bale the following week.

Arsenal's next 6 fixtures after everton tonight are pretty good whereas chelsea miss a gameweek so i think i'd hang onto cazorla.

Lemlin

I'm thinking Cazorla to Walcott and Mata to Bale. I'm looking to ship Mata with Benitez after arriving anyway.

It's a what have you done for me lately attitude. Despite him not being in a position to do anything last weekend. Watch him score big again and there'll be another influx of transfers.

The same will happen with Baines. Everton will get a penalty some week and he will be transferred back in en masse.

That seems like a smart move to me.

Why would anyone consider dumping Fellaini now, he is still vastly underpriced and he was suspended for 1 match, not injured or anything, absolute madness.

Cazorla isn't anywhere near as attractive an option as Bale or Mata for me, don't see the fuss to be honest, fabulous player but he isn't gonna bring the same returns as the other 2.

Cazorla has 71 points right now and isn't even close to returning the points that his stats are indicating he will. Also, he has a great run of games.

Felliani is an option out if you have a player with better fixtures and the potential for more points. For example, over the next 3-4 games, Wallcott >>>>>>>> Felliani.

The Mata > Cazorla transfer is just a placeholder right now as that was the plan for a good while, but things are changing at Arsenal. I'm confident that if Wallcott starts regularly, Cazorla will benefit but am waiting on tonight to see how Arsenal do. I cant shake the feeling that Wallcott is just going to explode in the coming weeks.

Ba has to be in the team for next gameweek vs Wigan but might go the following week.

I've been thinking that too but also have Cazorla and I'm torn between having the two of them or just swapping Cazorla for Walcott. Just think having the two of them might be overkill but as you said if Walcott plays well, Cazorla could benefit. I'm really tempted by a Giroud and Walcott combo though. Walcott's crossing has improved dramatically from what i've seen of him in the last few games and Giroud could really benefit from that.

yes.

with Bale, Michu, Hazard, Mata, Morrison, Fellaini, Silva, Nolan and more from other teams, i don't think you can afford to waste 2 midfield places on one team - nevermind one as consistent as Arsenal.

Yeah I thought so! I was going to go for Fellaini, but his fixtures over the next few weeks aren't great, compared to Arsenal, so was thinking of Walcott, who seems to be coming into form.

Already have Cazorla and Mata; can't afford Bale, Hazard or Silva; so not really sure who to go for.

Have 8.9m to spend, so just a little short of the top bracket of players.

No you are not. Unless I am mad too. And others. Purple dishwasher. If it seems Cazorla isn't performing even with favourable fixtures, you can ship him for Bale in GW17.

I dont subscribe to the theory that having two players from the same team is a bad idea when that team has a great run of fixtures. Wallcott could be the man to finish all the chances Cazorla has been creating. Good for both players.

I'll probably regret writing this...I think Cazorla and Wallcott have the potential to be the next big super-pairing, one that we have not seen since Gerrard/Torres and Fabregas/RVP. Two players on the same team that work off each other and are involved in each others goals. They are both midfielders playing essentially as strikers too.

It's jsut too tempting for me

See THIS is exactly what I was thinking.

And then I'd have Bale - Mata - Walcott in midfield, no bad.

Most likely. I'm dumping Baines this weekend i reckon. Tough run of fixtures and i can always get him back in on Jan wildcard. Don't care if he scores a goal one weekend. If i have a cheaper defender instead of him that will allow me to upgrade an attacker. A clean sheet and a goal or 2 from an attacker i would not have had without downgrading Baines will cancel out the goal. Too much kneejerk in this game.

i hope the Cazorla essentially playing as a striker comment was a joke. Thats my concern right there. Caz has been playing so deep lately, not really getting forward enough at all. Apart from the Spurs game v 10men, he hasnt looked very threatening to me. Walcott is playing more advanced, and he's even managed to nick Santi's set piece duties (surely a ploy by Wenger to butter him up in advance of contract talks). Santi-->Theo is definitely a change i want to make. Maybe this week, though i feel i may have to move on Suarez if he doesnt pick up his 5th booking against Spurs, home v Southampton is potential for some serious captain points, so the Santi-->Theo transfer might have to wait til after

I'm intrigued by this, I was under the impression that he has been overachieving in FF, I really like him as a player but have really only seen him on MOTD etc, which stats are you referring to, he tends to shoot from distance so he's unlikely to have a high goals/shots ratio, also Walcotts presence in the team can't be a good thing thing for him surely, wouldn't one of them have to be playing as an out and out striker for things to happen as you suggest they might?

Walcott is 1.1m more expensive than Felli, no value there for me.

I guess there is only so much that stats and highlights can tell me but from what I can see, when Arsenal are threatening and when it matters, Caz seems to be in good positions albeit in and around the 18-25 yard area. Agreed that he is getting back more but, again, when it matters, he seems to me involved.

Santi>Theo as a transfer is perfectly fine imho as I think if these two start to combine, Wallcott will be the main benefactor and is 0.8 cheaper too.

If Suarez can avoid a booking, and tbh I think he will get the booking tonight, he will be a clear captain contender next gw.

Yes, Walcott would be the guy that fills the more conventional role with Caz making things tick. I'm going by stats on FFS and from highlights. You are absolutely correct that he shoots from outside the box more often than not but I think Arsenal have been a little static in front of goal and Wallcott could provide a run that would catch Caz's eye.

All theoretical, and I might be adding 2 and 2 and getting 5, but I've learned that there is nothing worse in this entire game than having a gut feeling about a player who subsequently runs riot when you hadn't the guts to go with you instincts.

Cue Wallcott on the bench tonight

Benimar

Just watching FISO throughout the day and watching the levels of transfers. Why, oh why, do people transfer in a player for the next GW before hes even played this week?? Prices don't go up until after tonights games, its asking for trouble making a transfer today.

If Baines scores 10+ and Enrique gets sent off there will be a few people looking for the 'undo' button

Kerrydude1981

Thinking about Hazard and S Taylor out and getting in Silva and Enrique in for the next few weeks

Shane732

Why is everyone ditching Cazorla? He's the joint 3rd highest scoring midfielder in the game to date. He has Swa, WBA, RDG, WIG and WHU coming up.

I really don't see why you'd dump him.

Bale on the other hand has FUL, EVE, SWA and STO.

To a lot of people he suddenly became "that man that plays well yet scores no FF points" during an Arsenal spell in which almost no Arsenal player scored much in the way of points. I suppose Wallcott also dilutes his attraction having seemingly escaped the confines of the Arsenal bench.

Kerrydude1981

Tevez not starting again tonight could force me to change my plans re transfers for the weekend

Lemlin

Think I'm definitely going with Mata and Cazorla out for Walcott and Bale like I said earlier.

SpaceCowb0y

Mata and Berbatov out for Walcott and Suarez(depending how he performs tonight)

Cantona's Collars

Reading back through the thread,I think a lot of people will be changing plans regarding transfers,especially getting rid of Michu & Fellaini now that they've scored again plus hanging onto Mata/Cazorla now Bale is on fire.

OctavarIan

Doing Baines -> Nastasic and Mata -> Bale.

km79

Giroud to Suarez ?

Hazard to Bale sounds like a decent move. Alternatively I might get rid of Demba Ba.

Lemlin

Just pulled the trigger on Mata and Cazorla to Bale and Walcott. Frees up .4 million for me too.

dahat

Just moved on Mata to Bale, sitting on shifting Tevez for a hit for a few days...Both him and Mata had to be dealt with,way too much money tied up in them.

Fizman

Did Baines -> Enrique last night. 3.6m in the bank now.

Next to get the boot will likely be Valencia or Jelavic.

will probably do Mata to Bale and Cazorla to Walcott for a hit. will hold off for as long as i can before price changes become an issue

why take a hit to move cazorla to walcott? walcott has to score then just to make up the points you lost and cazorla could outscore him. i could understand it if cazorla was injured but you could do the swap saturday evening and not lose 4 points.

if i'd taken a hit yesterday to do the transfer, i'd be better off... i just think Walcott is much more likely to score better going forward, i don't take hits often but i think it might be a good time for this one

done baines to nastasic

im having no luck this year so baines will run riot next and manc will lose
