Gameweek 29 Transfers.

Invincible

It's a bit early to be thinking about transfers yet Ted, with FA Cup games coming up

Possibly Costa/Sturridge and Ozil in for Giroud and Sanchez. Will see how the games go.

spock.

Alderweireld-->Ivanovic
I'll wait at least a week though.

Lemlin

Sanchez maybe to Ozil. Will see how tomorrow night goes.

This.

It'd free up a nice bit of cash to play around with too. Most likely I'd use it to boost the defence (e.g., Hutton to Bertrand) for the run-in.

dahat

Walters to a cheap 5th mid is my likely transfer.

km79

either bertrand to Ivan
or alderweireld to terry
is what I'm thinking at moment !
Bertrand to Ivan leaves me .3
alder to terry will leave me nothing most likely as alder will drop tonight.
thats .3 he will have cost me ! and not played a game .
if I do sell him he will be my worst transfer ever

Mr.Prodston

I wasn't the only one who's considering Sanchez -> Ozil then it seems.

Have being contemplating dropping Sanchez...annoying thing is he looks like dropping in price tonight....but that's a bit early to be getting rid.

dahat

Sold him for Ozil 3 weeks ago, no regret .

If only I had sold him 15 weeks ago like you did....

Only 5 weeks ago in fairness! I've missed out a massive 8 points since then. Up till then he was averaging me 8 points a game.

Now, if only I could have picked a half decent replacement.

Mr. Guappa

The FA cup games and subsequent blanks/DGWs may have some bearing on what move I make.

Under pressure are Jones, PVA, Alexis, Walters and Giroud.

The Wild Bunch

Gardos for Terry

I had blind faith in him and that cost me all those lovely Carzola points...and more recently the Ozil points. Both were considered long and hard and rejected due to my faith in Sanchez.
But he looked a busy fool against Everton, IMO.
So sold him for Ozil over the weekend.

Breaking up is hard to do.

Western Pomise

As a longterm Terry owner just wondering why people thinking of dumping him....not one of dearest defenders around,playing every week in one of best defences....what am I missing?

Not much, sold him for Vertonghen but the plan is too sell him eventually with Walters to get Ivanovic in as my Chelsea defender in 3 weeks or so.

Jones to ivanovic

For me I wanted to maximise my attacking players. I also expect Chelsea to progress in the CL so they will have alot of fixtures.

It's true that these £2m+ diff could allow much easier Berty and Costa/Sturridge in...

alchemist33

FA cup, blanks and DGWs will influence this decision, so I do nothing until after the weekend.

Arbitrary

Banking it with major surgery planned over the next few weeks.

mufcboy1999

Possibly Costa or sturridge for gw29.

Tonight's team sheets have pushed Jones to the top of the queue. Will look at the options later, but it will be someone in the 4.5 and under bracket, who is a nailed on starter and rotates well with Wollscheid and PVA.

Let me know who it is because I have those two.

Evans will probably pick up a suspension for spitting at Cisse. Cisse returned in kind.

Might earn Jones his place back if so. I would welcome that. I've got ADM to deal with.

km79

a chelsea defender !

Rikand

Despite Sanchez goal, think I still might sell him. Need the money for elsewhere

dahat

Vertonghen and Sturridge are issues for me.

Can do Studge to Giroud possibly

Can do Vertonghen to Ivanovic possibly

extra gravy

Will probably bank and get Alder in then if he plays against Chelsea. Been without Southampton def cover for too long,

CSF

Thinking Jones to Zouma. Will put more thought into it at a later stage

Neoulous

Still have 2 FT. I'm very happy of the way these last 2 GWs have turned out. Hopefully my 4 DGWers make this week an even better one.

Could replace Wollscheid depending on how serious his injury is.
Could downgrade Cazorla to end the big front 8. And upgrade Austin. He does have decent fixtures. But I missed his 9 pts 2 GWs ago and don't want selection headaches for my front 7.

No rush though.

menoscemo

My plan was to upgrade Austin to Costa, but Stone Cold is so consistent that I might just keep him and use the money to upgrade the midfield instead. I could do with getting Sanchez back before he goes on a good run again. I might have already seen the best of Cazorla so I could swap him for Coutinho...hmmm lots to ponder I think I'll wait until after the weekend and well into next week as I have no financial worries.

Ill be keeping austin for at least the next 2 gws palace and Everton. They play Everton after Everton play in Ukraine.

I had the same plan, with the right amount in the bank to do it, I am thinking of baird to ivanovic now, also with Costa he is close to a ban

IsMiseMyself

I really want Silva but I'm not sure who to drop. I have Ozil, Sanchez, Eriksen, and Haz. Eriksen is the obvious one but I'd need to downgrade a defender to make up the extra cash monies. Could get rid of Sanchez but he did score last night. I still think Ozil, Sanchez, and Giroud is too many Arsenal attackers but they're chipping away so I dunno!

iroced

Ideal plan.

Cazorla -> Silva (1 week too late) to end my reliance on Arsenal. Sanchez & Giroud are enough for now. Will see if Sanchez -> Ozil makes sense in a couple more GWs.

Then next GW Jones -> Alderweireld (though I'm afraid their price might change before that).

PvA may need sorting then & hopefully I don't need to free some cash from Walters who shall now be known as FUIB (fùcking useless Irish b@st@rd or fake useless irish birkenheader as you prefer ) :mad:.

Am in the same boat and I think you have to chop one of your Arsenal midfielder out. Not everyone agrees but I like to have a balanced team covering most of the big and/or performing teams. I never liked having 2 players from the same team on the same line. I'm not against doubling up but I prefer doing it with GK & def and mid & forward than with 2 defs or 2 mids. Only "acceptable" exceptions for me would be Saints-like situation this year (e.g. you could have one of their premium def Berty/Clyne/Fonte coupled with a cheap team-mate Alder when back in or Yoshida for the last month ; same with Chelsea Ivan/Terry + Zouma if he nails down his starting position) .

dahat

Walters to Cork done.

I now have £2.1 ITB so I can change to Toby and Ivanovic from Vertonghen +Dawson for GW30.

AdMMM

Won't be making any decisions until I see how my horse Eriksen does this weekend. I swapped Sterling out for him this week, so my plan is currently to get Sterling back in (or maybe even pivot over to Coutinho).

My defence is a bit of a worry for me with a non-starting PvA and a spluttering Cresswell being some cause for concern. I'm also doubled-down on Southampton with Bertrand and Clyne which worked out well this week, but leaves me stuck in no-man's land for GW29 with them playing Chelsea.

Austin for the next two weeks, move on to Sturridge then as Liverpool's run in is favourable from GW32. That's my plan anyways. Costa's double GW may change that though, but that's dependent on how far ahead Chelsea are in the league and if they're in the CL still also.

It may be a little dated now but this article summed the best cheap 3-way defensive rotations up. It started for GW23 though and worked 10 GWs out so only 4 remaining now.

With Stoke & Sunderland the best rotations were Swansea, WB, Newcastle & Villa. So I guess today we're looking at Naughton, Dawson, Coloccini & Hutton/Clark.

What I'd do in your position is have a look for every single GW until GW38 at which def I'd play between PvA & Wollscheid. For every week you'd be very unhappy of playing either, have a look at whom cheap def offers a much better fixture and then select the best compromise :cool:.

Personally I'm not sure I'll keep PvA if he only plays every second game though (I mean he's not gonna get an assist every time he comes in late).

Liverpool will have a blank GW33 if they beat Blackburn

Ye that's my plan sturridge from gw 32. I'm thinking of getting both Terry and ivan to go with hazard and not bother with Costa.

And more than likely a dgw 34. You could be saving yourself a -4 by having him on the bench for 33.

I'd rather have Costa and a Liverpool mid for DGW34

Whats the best thing to do with a wildcard? Prepare a strong team for GW 33 and use the wildcard for GW 34?

Ill be having a good look at it after the fa cup this week and hopefully we know before next wk what dgw 34 games we have. My initial thoughts are 2 Che def and Haz and sturridge that I'll bench for 33. Depends what happens this weekend though.

Terrivanovic could be a masterstroke but I'd be crapping myself without Costa for potentially DGW34+37 if ManU win.
