GW 17 Transfers

FutureGuy

Am giving serious thought to having RVP and Rooney.

Is Enrique injured?

Didn't catch anything this weekend and he only played 26 minutes, so any word on him?

Would Enrique -> Shawcross be a good move?

Where has Rooney been playing of late? Last I heard he was playing a deep, closer to attacking midfielder role? Worth RVP -> Rooney?

Tight hamstring. Ambiguous response.

Trying to decide whether or not to sell Bale until he gets back. I only got him in last week, so I don't think I'd be buying him back in at a loss when he's fit again (though haven't checked the figures).

If I do, I'm thinking either another Spurs midfielder (probably Dempsey) or a United midfielder for the game against Sunderland. They're probably the most attractive fixtures for this GW.

After threatening to do it for weeks the time has finally come for me to ship out Ashley Cole. I also want to get rid of Fletcher again (have two free transfers).

I'm between two minds about which way to go with it - either a cut price defender like Shorey and Tevez in for Fletcher or else Gibbs/Nastasic and Berbatov.

Any thoughts?

Really don't see the point of paying over 5m for a defender. Shorey/Tevez for me all the way.

Maybe I'm being too hasty in brining Suarez in for Tevez.

Has anyone considered the RVP to Rooney move?

SlickRic

it's too early to do anything this gameweek IMO.

i've no idea yet if Bale will be fit. although unlikely, he's a bit of a freak.

Walcott's also due back, but we won't know for sure until later in the week.

no clue if Evans will be fit after coming off early yesterday, or if United defenders will just be rested, so I may keep Smalling for a week.

this week will most definitely be a Friday transfer, although my kneejerk Monday transfer last week of Wisdom

i have.

but at the moment, i do have enough money to keep RVP and it not affect elsewhere too much, and it's not like he's going to stop scoring.

if i needed the extra money, i'd seriously think about it though.

Have thought about it a little but I'd only be doing it to strengthen my defence really as my MF is pretty stacked already so probably not worth it.

I think Tevez's points to price and minutes ratio very much outweighs the rotation risk he poses, and I don't even have him in my team.

Rooney being on penos makes it one to consider but Im going to stick with RVP. Just looking at the league table today utd have scored 40 goals in 16 games ten more than any other team in the league. There could be an argument for having the two of them.

i could have both of them (just) if i do Mata and Fletcher to Kacaniclik and Rooney (for a hit)

tempted :pac:

United's fixtures are very tasty

As sated earlier, a strikeforce including Rooney and RVP is incredibly tempting to me for the next few weeks. I'm also planning to get in that boy Rafael.

The only thing that is stopping me from pulling the trigger on Rooney is Kagawa's immiment return. If he can keep fit, he will be a great player for United and I might bring in Kagawa instead of Rooney.

As you can see, I'm going to be putting my chips on United.

Rafael has been given so much license to roam forward that he'd be a necessity if Man U were actually keeping any clean-sheets. I love Evra this year too though he's been in such great form and I think he's improved with the captain's armband.

Other high-priced defenders like Vertonghen and Vermaelen I'm staying away from with a 10 foot pole but Baines and one of the regular Chelsea defenders look mighty tempting. Does anyone know anything about Cahill's chances of remaining a starter when Terry comes back?

manual_man

no guarantee Kagawa will get his game. they got him before they got Rvp, with Rvp there now Rooney is playing in the position Kagawa was bought for. bit unlucky for Kagawa but i don't really see where he's gonna fit in, it's possible he could be put in centre midfield or on the wing but i don't think either really suit him

Terry would appear more likely to get regular playing time alongside Luiz, personally I'm considering Terry and Vidic for my defence soon enough

roryc

Will be closely watching Berbs and Fletch in their respective games, my most likely swap is still bringing the crazy Bulgarian back.

Hopefully he plays well tonight and still drops in price (currently at 97%), could do with saving some cash seeing as Bale keeps losing value. Due to drop AGAIN tonight but I can't get rid of him, it seems there's a chance of him playing this weekend, gone to orange (50%) on FF.

cardwizzard

Bale at -219%, think he might go down .2 this week.

keane2097

Bale's price dropping only really matters if you're going to sell him anyway right?

well yes, obviously... i don't have him but i'm happy to hold off for a while. he's touch and go for the weekend, and after that they have Stoke and then Villa away. you wouldn't expect a whole load of goals in either. add to that the fact he's one booking away from a suspension. Reading at home is the next potential for big points imo, but that's a good few weeks away yet

Liam O

Gone for Cazorla>Snodgrass and Le Fondre>Giroud. Pretty happy with it as It's a huge improvement while keeping that Arsenal cover for their fixtures.

Yeah, the penalty situation is what's tempting me. Add to that the January wild card which gives you an easy solution of reverting back to RVP should the decision back fire and it becomes even more tempting.

I agree with the "no need to make the change unless you can find a worthwhile use for the cash saved" advice though.

Will see how Berbs gets on tonight and make a decision later.

Really need help.

a) Bale->Walcot
b) Bale-> Dempsey

Already have michu, fellaini, mata, puncheon

RVP is a beast. Always a threat for a goal.

I got him in as soon as Man Utd signed him at £13.0 million
If I was to get rid of him now it would need to be a permanent move as I would £13.4 million for him meaning I would have to find £0.4 from elsewhere to get him back in.

On a different note. one thing I don't like is that a player needs to go up 0.2 for you to get a benefit of 0.1. however if the player goes down by 0.2 then you get the full hit - 0.2. The same rule should be applied for both increases and decreases. Feels like you get punished both ways .

I actually prefer that it's set up that way. It's makes it more challenging. If it increased at the same rate as the decrease then everyone would have ridiculously high-valued squads by xmas and there would be little or no difference between most squads.

Anyone looking at Ashley young ....

jolim24601

Young or Valencia might be worthwhile moves very soon.

I would do Bale ---> Dempsey or possibly Cazorla. Or I would keep Bale and monitor Walcott for a week or two.
