GW 8 Transfer Thread

LeaveitOff

Looks like Costa is out according to reports. *One report says possibly 3 weeks. At least it will be more or less the same for everyone.

If he was out for 3 weeks, you couldn't really get rid of him as he'll cost a larger whack to get him back.

*(will probably end up scoring a hat trick tomorrow)

Mr.Prodston

Still haven't played the wildcard. Thinking I'll just do RVP to Aguero this week. Maybe Nolan to Henderson too, Must see what the consensus is with Nolan this week over whether he'll start from Allardyce etc

I'll sit down and have one last think but if I don't play it this week I reckon it might well be a necessity next week. I think it's possible to get through this GW well enough and I'll have more info for next week and perhaps some more concentrated price-rises

TacT

Van Aanholt out reid in as mannone is in goal.

I'm not doubting you but could you or somebody provide a link fro a reputable source, I was stung the last time and I'd say it's cost me about 300,000 places. At least now I will only lose .1m so it wouldn't bother me in the least to dump him if he's to miss at least two EPL matches. In fact I would be pure delighted:pac:

if I got confirmation I'd dump him too and bring in aguero rather than going the baines route this week........I was on my wildcard last time this happened though and he burnt me bad!!!!

What if somebody at the Daily Mail is big into FPL and wants everyone to dump Costa so he gets all the goals for himself/herself? :eek:

We're through the looking glass here people...

Telegraph saying he could miss three weeks

oh god make the crazy thoughts stop!!!! is there actually a picture of him leaving training injured or not training today or ANYTHING to !make it true......Costa to aguero and captaining Kun could make up for the costa\balotelli mistake OR compound it

I'm in exactly this situation. Not a single transfer jumping out at me.

Still haven't decided whether to bring in Azpi or Baines for Kompany. I'm leaning towards Baines, but 3 out of 4 boardsies said Azpi when I asked the question yesterday.

Get on the Baines Train!!! Skipper

The only transfer im considering making is Pieters out for another defender, but id like to keep my transfer too.( Aguero next week)
Never made a start as good as this so dont want to take too many gambles.

I would be starting Duff before Williams this week 100%

Ye my thoughts exactly I'd love him to be out I'd get wellbeck in for him. Us gw 2 wildcarders that got burnt with him would benefit most by him being confirmed out for 2 weeks. I'd have no hesitation in selling.

On a WC here so would love to hear something definite. Trying to fit Aguero in is hurting the rest of my team so leaning towards only going with one of Costa/Aguero.

Would give me:
Krul/Mannone
Baines, Azpilicueta, Bertrand, N. Taylor, Hutton
Di Maria, Fabregas, Siggy, Henderson, Downing (may downgrade)
Aguero, Pelle, Welbeck

All opinions welcome.

If leaving costa out I'd leave enough money to get him back. I'd definitely downgrade downing as you will rarely use him and I'd try get hazard in. As you have 3 strong defenders I'd go with moore over n Taylor also.

Even having had him from the start it would only cost me 0.4 to buy him back if I sold him. If he's confirmed out for circa 3 weeks I'd expect him to drop at least 0.2. I'd have no problem selling him at those figures.

Another outcome of the slower price rises.

Taking all this with a spoonful of salt. Sure wasn't Costa rumoured to be out for a few weeks just before THAT hatrick!!!

Mr.Prodston

A little part of me is thinking I should sell Costa for Aguero rather than RVP but even I know that's ludicrous and am currently burning those thoughts with fire.

Or is it crazy?

Also it seems like I'm starting Kevin Nolan again this week

I'm contemplating selling Costa for Aguero too, so I can't call that thought crazy.

However, starting Nolan is whackadoodle :pac::D

I've managed to talk myself out of Costa to aguero........it's just too risky at moment
if he does not play tomorrow though things change.....

Very quiet Friday in here. I don't think I've ever seen a season like this before. Most people seem generally very happy with their teams. Last season I would say I had easily taken 20 points worth of hits at this point.

I've also seen countless mentions of people using transfers because they have to before they lose them or banking transfers.

Swiper the fox wrote: »

Are we getting boring or what??

Well. The template midfield is working out very fine. There are no big defenders worth a hit at the moment. The forwards can be chosen between different combinations of the big 3 (Falcao, Aguero, Costa) and 1 or 2 of cheaper ones and many combinations are working fine at the moment. There're just the keepers I find trickier to select... Might just be me though.

Anyway that could explain the low transfer activity. The change in the price variation poilcy is probably an important factor too. Multiple point hits won't guarantee a substantial increase in your team value anymore.

I gave up on DDG, plenty of options on 9m worth of rotating GKs out there.

Could you expand on the bold part please? I'm still struggling to find my GK solution ...

Mr.Prodston

RVP -> Aguero is done

Wildcard next week looks like a possibility now though after a stay of execution.

I think it's that you can get two 4.5m (9m) keepers (or even 8.5 with a non playing) that will be just as useless as spending 10m+ or more.

I don't see any solution at present apart from spending the least amount possible.

Do ya have enough change to get in a shiny new Baines

Nope I don't. Not this week anyway :pac:

Do lukaku to aguero now or wait till next week? have Dzeko too that I want to get rid of but would have to make two transfers to get aguero in for him.

Probably just as well eh

SpaceCowb0y

Looking highly likely i'll bank a transfer for the first time this season despite Costa being down as a doubt (We all know how that pans out:rolleyes:). Pieters needs moving on but there's no standout candidate to bring in for him this week bar a Southampton defender and I already have Forster. Will probably bring in a spurs player for next week.

Yea, no major fix really but money to be saved. My back 7 is from 6 different clubs so took that more into account when picking my GKs but some people have looked into homa/away rotation a bit more. Sunderland and West Brom keepers for me, clean sheet is a bonus but usually some points for saves made to be had. Would have stuck with DDG if Utd looked at all interested in defending.

Wilcarding, 8.2m to spend

Pelle or Naismith?
