Gameweek 2 Transfers

Mr.Prodston

All aboard the Siggy love train!

G1032

Yup. Sterling out, Siggy in..Not tonight though. Feck the 0.1m

Menas

If I remember correctly there were no price changes last year until the monday night. Think they wanted to get all the matches out of the way in gw1 before allowing price changes.

Ronaldinho

Can see Barkley to Sigurdsson being very popular. Barkley was crazy expensive in the first place IMHO.

i'm supposing i should take solace in already having him despite him being my first sub

Only 6.7 PC own siggy at present, will track what that rises by. I'd guess at least 20pc of those had him on the bench too.

Rubbish, they rose straight away, I did my transfer pre the city Monday night riot and regretted it.

Commiserations to the Siggyless managers this week.

He'll cost you 6.3 in 4 days I'd say. Maybe 5. I'd bank on him being 6.3 by the end of this GW.

0.3 is the most he can rise in a gameweek.

3,700 transfers out for Barkley already.
3,600 transfers in for Siggy.

Ben Davies and De Gea are the ones I'm considering getting rid of. I'll probably give De Gea another few weeks though.

Alfred Borden

Wanted to bank the transfer but naughton has ruined my plans

IsMiseMyself

I'll be putting Siggy back into my team. :pac:

extra gravy

Have kept 1.5m to do Mata to Sanchez depending on his performance later.

Copper_pipe

Lamela to Siggy id say

Morzadec

Both Hoillet and Cameron not starting for me...

Also I have Isgrove from Southampton who is far from guaranteed.

4 point hit necessary?

MaxPower89

Did Siggy play very advanced today or more a MF role?

Played behind the striker I think.

Shane732

Ahhh now I remember the torture this game caused.

Siggy and Hutton on the bench (16 points).... Naughton and Mata starting (0 points).

NinjaTruncs

6,000 people have already transferred Siggy in.

Ronaldinho

Bojan to Berahino gonna be another popular switch. Interesting that Sanogo starts for Arsenal. Dier's got some bandwagon potential too.

How much is Berahino?

roryc

No transfers in mind yet, would be lovely to bank it.

He's 5.5m.

Arnold Tanzarian

* Newbie question* Should I do my transfers now before this gameweeks is finished incase price valuations for example siggy go upwards , or wait until its over?

dahat

Siggy on for Coutinho for me, will wait until he looks like rising though.

Plenty will be tempted by Berahino I imagine especially with him being the peno taker

Pretty much 100% that no one will go up tonight so at the very least wait till tomorrows games are over

tom_k

Siggy over 20% of the way to a rise already.

Complete guess from Totalfpl regarding the NTI threshold for this season though. They cant possibly have an accurate estimate of the NTI when no price changes have occurred yet!

West Brom have two away games now. Saints and then Swansea. Might see how Saints look tomorrow.

Same as. Wonder will he go up tonight.

Berahino might be a bandwagon worth riding too.

Doubt Siggy will go up tonight. At 20% 20 mins ago. Was hoping for a bigger chunk than that.

Good. Would rather see Cout play before transferring him out.

Berahino is a WC bandwagon, waste of a transfer other than that.

I'm thinking of it to try and gain some value. Pauly might know more having watched the game.

I'm waiting to watch MoTD but he has outperformed all the other strikers in his price bracket today.

mectavba

Is it my imagination or did they used to give you 2 free transfers in the first week?

I don't really feel it is worth wasting points and trransfers based on one weeks games, especially with new signings bound to be made.

Think he had a decent finish to last season.
It'll be a bandwagon for sure but I think the lad can score points

IsMiseMyself

Depending on how Liverpool get on tomorrow, I'll either do a straight swap of Hendo for Siggy or use the funds in the bank to go 4.5 midfielder whose name I can't remember to Siggy and rotate them.

Those who have Siggy can gamble I suppose but those who don't need the transfer for Siggy.

I can see the logic in getting him but it is a total bandwagon imo. WBA are widely tipped to struggle.

If you go for the strategy of making the transfer on the Sun/Mon I guarantee you there will be 5/6 of the 38 weeks when you will regret it. Either the player you brought in will get injured, or a more expensive player in your team will get injured. It's a tough one, gamble really. There's pros and cons to both. No right answer.

The season started on the 17 August last season.
First price changes happened at 1am on the 20 august. Logged on here. Logged on here. http://www.fiso.co.uk/forum/crack-the-code-2013-14-the-fiso-guide-to-fpl-price-changes-t103498-30.html

Never got 2 transfers for free before after week 1 but there was an extra wildcard a couple of years back due to server issues before the first gameweek.

Shedite27

Yeah I'll be banking this week's transfer, one game isn't enough to hatch a proper plan off (neither is two for that matter, but it's a bit better).

the incredible pudding

The only time you should ever do it is if there's a player you absolutely NEED and their price is going to rise to something beyond you can afford that night. As mentioned here, generally it's not a good idea as it can backfire terribly and cost you far more points than it will save you. The absolute worst time to make a transfer is during/directly after a match, the second worst is to do it before all the matches that week where players you own are playing in have finished. The best time to make a transfer is the night before or morning preceding the next set of games.
Being patient and disciplined are two things that will really help you in this game.

How did United look defensively? Thinking of downgrading Jones to 4.0 and upgrading my 4.5 midfielder (Marney) to Siggy. Don't want to do it tonight but if he looks like rising it will force my hand. Rest of team looks good just don't want to miss the gravy train, no need to wildcard will just take the hit

PARlance

It's not looking like Siggy is going to get close to rising tonight.

Someone also posted that there may be no price rises for the first two days. Not sure about that but Siggy doesn't look like he'll make it tonight anyway.

roryc

I'll be giving Mata a chance. Have £1m in the bank but no one is screaming at me to transfer. I'll look at Berahino but think that's probably a massive kneejerker. If tomorrow is pretty boring and Chelsea win easily I'll probably bank my transfer! First time for everything...
