Gameweek 31 Transfers

roryc

Looking at bringing in Baines for Davies in preparation for GW33. Won't be doing it until after the International break though.

The Phantom Jipper

Might go for Santi this week. I'd go for an Arsenal defender but haven't a clue who to get. No guaranteed starters among Monreal/Gibbs/Sagna/Jenkinson really is there? Mertesacker isn't really an option unfortunately.

roryc

Yeah my next two transfers will be Baines and Santi in, not sure which to do first though. Everton are away at Spurs next week and Arsenal are away at WB. Santi is prob more likely to score in GW32 but I would be getting rid of Mata who faces Sunderland at home. Guess I'll see how he does tomorrow before making a decision.

Mertesacker, why not? He's cheaper than Monreal and same amount as the other likely players. Jenkinson at good value at 4.0 and Sagna is listed as injured until 30 March.. though that might change, worth keeping an eye on, considering next match isn't until 30 March also. Mert is a nailed on starter.

Ha well he is an option but the guy i'm chasing in my league has him already so i'm somewhat reluctant. I'd prefer one of the left/right back options but if none of them are guaranteed both games in the DGW, I might just have to hold my nose and go for Mertesacker.

Invincible

Fellani suspended until April 13th, time to transfer out.

If you wanted to take a risk, I'd go with Jenkinson then. Considering Sagna's injury record, even if he is back on the 30th,doubt Wenger will be rushing to get him back onto the field, especially with Jenkinson in the form he is in, and he looks an attractive threat going forward too. Gibbs and Monreal/ Kos and Verm are harder to suss tbh. Bear in mind it will only make much of a difference when defenders get assists and goals.

darego

mata out cazorla in this week. then zabaleta out mertesacker in which will leave me with enough to get fellaini in for the DGW(sissoko out). that'll leave me with 7 DGW players for gw 33: 3 united players, 3 arsenal and fellaini

might try to get mata back in for chelseas dgw. do city have a a dgw coming up?

roryc

Suarez one yellow card away from a suspension. I think he just needs to get through the next three matches though and it'll be wiped.

United will probably not have a DGW in 33. If they beat Chelsea it'll be rescheduled for later in the year. On the flip side Chelsea may then end up having a double in 33, so be wary about getting rid of Mata just yet.

No point in making any transfer tonight anyway, still have games tomorrow and the Int break.

Jeez that'll be a tough one to call if he does get suspended. I can't really leave 11 million tied up in a chap who isnt playing for 2 games but then again, I could also do without losing .9 mill...

Hogey007

2 free transfers and barring anything drastic one of them is very easy, getting in santi at home to reading in preparation for the dgw.
got gerrard in for the dgw recently and had planned to put mata back in but with the fixture congestion i'll leave that for now.

not sure about my second transfer. if fabianski was going to be arsenal's goalie for a bit now he'd be a great shout at 4.3, especially with the dgw.

SlickRic

no idea.

i might downgrade Michu or Sissoko to upgrade Sturridge or Benteke the following week.

i'll wait though.

unkymo

Bye Bye Michu. Carzola in.

Devia

Finally got a chance to ship Puncheon and Clyne. Coutinho and Riether in.

Lemlin

Was planning to bank mine but now with Bunn sent off, I'm worried that Fergie will rest De Gea and I'll be left without a 'keeper.

Is there any talk of Norwich appealing the red card?

SlickRic

City defender in this week for Cole I reckon.

will wait though.

I don't think de Gea will be rested btw.

Hogey007

no question of de gea being rested, goalkeepers aren't like outfield players in that they need to be rested.
Ferguson will know the importance of keeping city at a distance, were united to lose to sunderland and city win their game it's back to 12, with united v city the next game and city having the opportunity to bring it back to 9 and gain some serious momentum while united have 2 tricky away games to stoke and west ham.
I expect a couple of changes as ferguson tries to balance his team to pick one he thinks will beat sunderland but also keep a couple of key players fresh for the chelsea replay 2 games later but de gea won't be one of those changes.
why would you disrupt a keeper that finally seems to be settling and hasn't conceded a premier league goal in so long now.

roryc

I would assume RVP is rested. De Gea will play.

Not sure about Evra, he was rested last week but should play the Chelsea game. Would Fergie rest him 2 weeks running? It seems to me like he was rested a week early, the Sunderland game seems to be the perfect opportunity to have rested a lot of key players. Far be it for me to question his motives though, but it's f**king with my FF...

Swiper the fox

Is Berbatov interesting any of ye as a cheapish striker, I've had faith in him all along and he's been helping me through otherwise mediocre weeks, re the debate which raged earlier in the year about him and Fletcher which some people took great pleasure in resurrecting every time Fletcher scored it's very close now and Berba has a far better points per game ratio. He also has a decent set of fixtures left so should easily see Fletch off now. He's also a little cheaper than Benteke or Lambert and could well outscore all of them for the remainder.

Iused2likebusts

I think im going to take out mata for carzola after the weekends results. Chelsea have a five point cushion over Arsenal for the CL spots so he probably wont play the next league game and then hopefully they win the fa cup replay meaning no chance of a dgw33 for chelsea.

roryc

I have no idea who is calling him Carzola as a joke and who actually thinks that is his name.

Its not as bad as calling bale chimp boy though ha

roryc

He is half boy, half chimp. I think this is an accurate name for him.

And you wonder why he decides to stop scoring when you capt him.

OneColdHand

Suddenly I have a few players with question marks over them.

Bunn (suspended)
Dawson (injured - not sure how serious, and there's a break, so might not be a problem)
Harte (dropped)
Clichy (dropped - probably only temporary though, as Mancini's tinkering backfired)
Michu (form)
RVP (won't be dropping him with DGW coming up, but not doing great at the minute)

crazy8

Have 2 free transfers and looking to ship Fellaini out.

Midfield is Sissoko, Walcott, Michu, Bale.
Coutinho in? (have Enrique and Suarez)

Does anyone else have Tevez up front?.. can't bring myself to sell him, waiting for that 2 goal 1 assist 3pt bonus game!

You might be waiting a while, City look like a very average team lately. They're not the same side they were last season that's for sure.

I would imagine very few people have Tevez up front, there are numerous better options up front - loyalty will be the ruination of you. If you are determined to rid yourself of the poodle-headed Belgian, who plays twice in GW33, then consider the form of Hazard or fixtures of Silva, another doubler in GW33. Wait until internationals etc have been played and dont worry about losing .1 here or there.. its all about the points now.

Iused2likebusts

what are walcott owners planning on doing ? It seems he will be back next week and if not definetely the dgw. I want cazorla in and could do walcott to cazorla with my FT, but am leaning towards a points hit to get cazorla in and keep walcott and just bench him this week. Doubts about Mata and rvp starting just to add into the mix aswell.

Holding Walcott for now.

Lemlin

I'll be holding Walcott too. Just means playing Michu which isn't the end of the world anyway.

Swiper the fox

Not sure how reputable this site is but these guys have Walcott out for a few more weeks
http://arsenallatest.com/news/828-injury-panic-walcott-wilshere.html?
Edit:Maybe not, I didn't see busts post in the other topic
I planned to wait for him and bring in himself and Mertesacker, now I might prefer Santi but his .1 rise last night could be trouble for me. Mertesacker seems a safe bet at the moment, he really should be more of a scoring threat though with the size of him and good delivery from a few of the Arsenal set piece takers. I'll probably bring in Mert this week and keep Michu for one more.

Santi101

Wenger said today that Walcott would be ready for next week. I've moved him out for Cazorla for this week but not a problem to get him back in if need be, his price has gone done a good bit lately.

The problem with it is that with the double being so close it doesnt make sense to transfer out someone that more than likely will play in it. You miss out on another dgw player by having to transfer walcott back in. As an arsenal fan do u think fabianski will keep his place?

Santi101

I hope to have 2 Arsenal/United/Chelsea players for that gw & hope rvp fails to perform!

Dunno about Fabianski.....judging by Wengers comments in the press conference yesterday, he was talking about Szczesny having a great future here, and how he's already played 100 odd games...looks to me a nice way of saying 'you're dropped lad and will have to fight to get the jersey back.

Fabianski for the next couple of games IMO but I can see Szczesny regaining it before the end of season.

Santi101

How do people feel about Hazard for the run-in?

Watching him in recent weeks, this guy is in top form right now. Seen him for Belgium there too and it was the same story. On another note, I can see him exploding next season.

I currently have szesney and would be a killer to bring in fab and then szczesny to get his place back as my other keepers injured at the moment also.The jerseys probably fabs to lose

Walcott -> Hazard was my transfer this week.

itsnotmyfault

My team is in bits at the moment . Could be down 6 players between injuries,being rested and being dropped.

Does anyone think that puncheon or harte will play this week-end?

shadowcomplex

need a cheap striker

a Weimenn or j rodriguez

S.M.B.

Pretty sure one of my free transfers this week will be Sturridge to Rodriguez.

Puncheon seems to be out of favour with the new guy Pochettino. He's clearly talented though and scored against his next opponents Chelsea already this season. With Adkins coming in, Harte may be the preferred choice as left-back but the slightly younger Shorey will be itching to play during the crucial run-in so it's really a toss up which one he chooses. The fact that Harte is on set pieces is something Adkins will consider as well so Harte could very well feature tomorrow but of course no guarantee.

Weimann has more goals, Rodriguez has more assists. I would go with Weimann if I was faced with this decision. Obviously both are playing second fiddle to Lambert and Benteke respectively but at 5 million these guys offer value as both Villa and Southampton aim to avoid relegation and they will surely be involved in a lot of goals scored from now till the end of the season.

brian plank

what about Anichebe? he played well against city so should start against stoke.

qwabercd

Yet again, having got my team in order, it has turned into a mess. Szczesny dropped and bunn suspended - no keeper. Harte dropped it seems. Debuchy injured. Walcott injured. RVP will likely be rested. They always seem to come at one time!

Eldoco

Will we get to see united team before te deadline tomorrow ?

Not official team . Sure we'll hear rumours though .

roryc

Baines in for Davies. Next two transfers will more than likely be bringing Berbs and Fellaini in.

miller82

Jenkinson likely to play ?

SpaceCowb0y

Sagna is available, what's the chances he'll play coming straight out of injury?

iMuse

Two clean sheets in a row for Arsenal, Wenger might decide to keep the same 4 as last time with Gibbs a doubt with a Virus. I think Jenk will play this week but hes not guaranteed for the DGW. Mertesacker is the only nailed on starter imo. The Guardian squad sheet has Jenk starting, FFS have Sagna so it is a guessing game.
