Gameweek 4 Transfers.

Invincible

If Rooney doesn't get his act together today, will get him out for Aguero.

CSF

Rooney to Costa is one I'm considering if I'm given reason to go that way.

Sgt Pepper 64

This will be the week I use my wildcard, managed to resist upto now

hjkl

2 if not 3 of my United players will be out the door if they continue to play like that in the second half.

IanOBo

Vlaar out. Probably a liverpool defender in

IsMiseMyself

Rooney's gone to Aguero. I may even ship Mata out too.

roryc

Yeah Mata likely getting the chop unless he scores here. Will wait until after the Internationals anyway, might even bank the transfer. United face QPR (H) next game and can't think of an easier possible fixture atm

Rikand

To wildcard or not to wildcard...

F1ngers

Wildcard activated -

I dunno. They should have easily beaten Burnley too.

shano_88

Have 2 transfers. Probably going to get rid of Mata for Sterling. Although QPR at home is tempting me to keep him for one more game.

It was never going to be easy though, new promoted team at home against United who haven't clicked - they would have thought before the game they could get something.

QPR next match I would regard as an easy fixture.

Bleating Lamb

Jaanmaat in for Dummett....is that the end of Dummetts run I wonder for Newcastle?

IsMiseMyself

So...wildcard time?

unkymo

Mini-wildcard time for me!

I've 2 free transfers banked so I'm going to take an 8 point hit for 4 transfers instead of using the wildcard.

Why didn't you do that before today...:P

DJKendo

Activated wildcard and this is the team I've come up with. Have £1.1 milly in the bank. What improvements do I make here?

If you're going with Courtois then no need for Krul. I'd downgrade him to a 4m non playing keeper. Yoshida could lose his place to Gardos and Hutton's upcoming fixtures are awful. Dier could lose his place as that Spurs defence is a minefield. Clyne, van Aanholt, Neil Taylor and Coloccini all worth considering for your defenders. Hutton to Wisdom as well. Your attackers look good though, can't really see much you could change there. If you downgraded your defence a bit you could afford to upgrade Naismith to a much better forward like Bony for example.

Griever931

Cameron out for Clyne.

You need to monitor this page, http://fantasy.premierleague.com/stats/elements/?element_filter=0&stat_filter=transfers_in_event and try to catch risers.
Even if you have no interest in a particular player, if he rises 0.2 you can bank the 0.1 to strengthen your team.

jive

Have 2 FT to use for GW4. Main priority is get S.Fletcher out, Sunderland looked awful going forward today, not many goals in that team.

Rooney/Costa/Fletcher is my front 3 and I have 3m in the bank. Might get Aguero in, want to see how Eriksen does as I might ship him out of he blanks again; if he does Aguero transfer will have to wait

Advice welcome! Current midfield is haz/eriksen/ramsey/sigurdsson/marney(sub)

the incredible pudding

Will consider wildcarding, just because... there might be a couple of players to get a rise out of. Dyer and Schneiderlin could rise and I expect Mata and Rooney to fall, so could get them out and then get them in again at the end of the week for QPR. There are probably 2-3 changes I'd be happy to make but mainly would like to get rid of the wild card just to rid myself of the desire to use it! :pac:

Sooner or Later

Wilcard time methinks. Rooney and Mata both likely to drop after another stinker today

G1032

Wildcard played already so might just back transfer even if Rooney does drop in price.
Injury is all that'll make me make a transfer I'd say.

The main thing i'd advise with 2 transfers and an international week to come is to try and wait to use those transfers. I've been hurt before making them too early and a third of my team getting injured while playing for their country. It's not fun. I think getting rid of Fletcher is a good idea alright. The question is, woud your rather upgrade him to someone that's a bit more expensive (ade sticks out) or going sideways to someone that might be a bit better for points (e.g. Chamakh or possibly Berahino. I'd personally prefer the former. With any player costing 5-6 you can't really expect too much from them really to be honest. I think having 3 forwards that you're happy with starting every week or 5 midfielders that you're happy to start each week is what one should be aiming for. What's your defence like at the moment?

I have two FTs as well and the current plan is Mata and Rooney out to a cheap mid and Studge. I'd like to wait but fear that Mata and Rooney will plummet in value the next few days.

HighClass

Looking like it'll be Rooney out and Costa in.

Rikand

Think i might not bother with the wildcard - only need to ship out rooney and a defender. Might just take the 4 point hit and save the wildcard for another time.

Would be the first time I haven't burned the wildcard on this week in about 5 years

They are at home to QPR next week, hold fire for one more week

CSF

Jovetic isn't going to start next week IMO, that brings a new dilemma for me.

That could twist your arm alright and would be a gamble that you can justify.
They do have QPR at home though... that's gotta be pretty tempting! (I know it is personally anyway though getting in Fabregas for mata is pretty logical to me now).

I'm planning on wildcarding Rooney out and then maybe back in again... it's pretty dependent on value drops/increases but with sites being unreliable for the updates I'm not sure i can depend on it. I think I'll leave enough cash to do Rooney to Aguero for the week after as I think I'd rather Rooney at home against QPR than Aguero away against Arsenal (I know Aguero can score against anyone but I think QPR are really terrible).

Alfred Borden

Mata to sterling anyways.
Will probably bring Costa back in after transferring him out :mad: rooney out id say.
Will probably do them early in fear of price changes

Cypher_sounds

Think ill use my wc bring Ivanovic in straight away..have 2mil in the bank. Sterling needs to be brought in too possibly for mata, United attackers can't be trusted yet anyway.

Ace2007

Don't have Fab, costa or siggy, need to get at least 2 of them in.
Mata, Jovetic and Schürrle likely ones to go

Danger781

Jovetic out this week I think.

Nobody else is a major concern yet, except for maybe Dummett who appears to have lost his place. No urgency there yet.

Mint Sauce

Transfer window closing tomorrow night, break for the internationals, time to activate that wildcard.

Isgrove will be the first to go, not sure after that.

Ice87

Rooney to Balotelli/Sturridge depending on how they line up tomorrow.

roryc

Probably look at Mata out for Sterling.

Krul/Foster

Azpilicueta/Phil Jones/Chambers/Duff/Moore

Yeah, not going to make any changes until after the internationals unless price changes force my hand (although they cant be tracked accurately at the minute so they won't!). Happy enough with defence, Chambers will probably need to go soon but i'm in no rush. Azpi/Jones will play every week with the 3rd spot to whichever defence is doing well or has the softest opponent. Burnley look solid at Turf Moor and Leicester also look fairly organised.

I'm going to go 3-4-3 every week unless I splurge on Sanchez maybe but that's not looking likely at the minute. Fletcher/Sunderland just looked absolutely terrible going forward today which was the first time I've watched them. Most likely transfer is Fletcher -> Jovetic and Eriksen -> someone if he doesn't perform tomorrow... although that could all change over the next couple of weeks!

mufcboy1999

I took Rooney out for augero this week even though Sergio didn't deliver long term it looks better but I'm still keeping mata in the team, qpr at home next.

Even though mata's price is falling he's still right now a good differential as only two people in my league have kept faith in him.

you know mata went off injured - hamstring?

kronsington

I still think Rooney will have a pretty good return for the whole season but Utd are just so bad at this moment in time. Anyone thinking about ditching Utd cover entirely??

jive

Right that's Naismith in for Fletcher for one of my free transfers, he'll surely rise after scoring again so will do it tonight

I could also just do Mata to Sterling, but then I have to bench one of: Siggy, Eriksen, Fab, Ramsey, Sterling, Costa, Rooney, Naismith. Good problem to have I guess....

2 week break though more than likely he'll be ok I'd say. I'm just not comfortable with no United cover at home against a newly promoted team , they'll turn it round soon and put a good few past somebody.

burrenguy

Considering using my wildcard now, this is the team I could get... total of 7 transfers needed to get there. What do ye think, any improvements to be made?

Gatame

Thinking about wildcarding from

Begovic/Krul
Terry/Chester/Colo/van Aon/Moore
Lamela/Eriksen/Sterling/Ramsey/Siggy
Rooney/Costa/Naismith

to

Lloris/Krul
Vertonghen/Ivanovic/Colo/van Aon/Moore
Lamela/Fabregas/Sterling/Ramsey/Siggy
Costa/Pelle/Naismith

The strikers aren't really jarring my interest, I had Eriksen and Lamela from GW1 planning on shipping out whoever is playing wide but depending on tomorrow I might keep both.

Wildcarding to make 4 changes?? What a waste!

IsMiseMyself

I'm to-ing and fro-ing about using my wildcard, but there's nothing significant I want to change. I want to bring in Aguero for Rooney but I can do that over two weeks. Apart from that, I'm reasonably happy with my team going into gw 4. Might just wait it out.

roryc

I'll likely bank my transfer unless Mata is confirmed out, then do three changes the following week to end up with something like the below. Have £0.2m which will cover price rises/falls which will likely occur with Rooney and Aguero. Keeping the faith with Terry for the moment despite Ivanovic scoring for fun!

spock.

I'd it worth using my transfer for Berahino-> Naismith?
