In a bit of a bind here.
Wanted to stick in Giroud for Kane but can't afford a straight swap so would need a second transfer and a -4pt hit.
Now thinking of leaving Kane in and just sticking in Koscielny or Bellerin. What you reckon? If it wasnt a DGW i wouldnt even be thinking of Giroud.

1) Fabregas out, Ramsey in
2) Fabregas and Terry out, Sanchez and 4.9 def (PVA) in (-4)
3) Fabregas and Benteke out, Sanchez and 5.8 forward (Ulloa) in (-4)
Basically, I've decided that Fabregas will be my transfer out. The only players I'm considering to go with him to fund Alexis are Terry and Benteke. My nearest rival has both, and I'm trying to decide who could do more damage if I sell (I'm leading by 43 points, so I'm reluctant to lose either as they are good blockers).
Any thoughts on the above would be much appreciated. Even though I've played the game for years I've never done it for money, so things are tense.
I'd go 1). Maybe Cazorla or Ozil if Ramsey is not 100% fit. Don't know what's the latest news on his fitness...Necronomicon wrote: »As of GW36 his Arsenal players were Monreal and Cazorla (to my Bellerin and Ozil). He's made two transfers, and I haven't been able to guess from the money in his bank whether he might have gotten Sanchez in. I'm worried that he may have.
If I managed to bring Sanchez in it would be a win-win as a) if he has transferred him in, I've now blocked that route to making up points and b) if he has not, then Sanchez would be an amazing differential.
As A Brad Maddox Guy said, if Terry & Benteke are blockers you have to keep them.
You didn't tell us if your rivals own Hazard (I presume they do but...). If you want to keep him, can't you get Sanchez and sell someone else than Terry (if you have £4.9m after Fab->Sanchez you have a £0.8m flexibility).
Out of these 3 choices I'd favour the former by a long mile. Second option is tempting but as we've been debating all week, there's no stand out choices.With Hazard now set to play, and I'd expect to start, the space for the punt midfielder is limited.
I'm full circle and back at banking and playing
Mig
Terry, Kos, PVA (Huth, Wolly)
Hazard, Sanchez (c), Ramsey, Albrighton (Bolasie)
Kane, Aguero, Benteke
The only things worth considering are
Mig to Panti
Bolasie to Punt Mid and bench Albrighton
Kane to any forward....Defoe....Costa!?
And selling Kane home to Hull sounds madness... (just a question can you actually afford Kane -> Costa :eek:? - I'd not touch him anyway, we're not even sure he'll play -).
(b).options now firmly down to 3
(a) mignolet to ospina (have bellerin and Sanchez)
(b) smalling to PVA (and bench alderweireld)
(c) bank it !
what ye reckon
Not sure the 2 Arsenal def road is the best one...
United haven't kept a CS since 15th March. And Saints defensive form has declined with Forster out. Admittedly 3 of their last 4 games were away but their last game at home (Spurs) they conceded 2. Villa are on fire and have dramatically improved their scoring form since Sherwood took over.
So yeah (b) would be my DGW gamble
. Just be sure you can field 3 decent def for GW38 since Sunderland will be away to Chelsea.
The thing is if you do so you'll start 6 pts behind the leader. If you get Sanchez you'll certainly captain him. So where can you make these 6 pts up?In one of my pay leagues there's 2 points separating the top three (i'm in third) they both have Sanchez and will more than likely captain him.
I already have three Arsenal - Ospina, Bellerin, Ozil. (+PVA for Sun)
Should I take a 4 point hit to move Ozil & Benteke out for Sanchez & Defoe?
Yeah I'd definitely get an Arsenal def (*) in your position. And to be fair, I'm under the impression 1 def and 2 mids is the Arsenal FSA "template"Sean Quagmire wrote: »In a bit of a bind here.

And looking at your defence I'd actually get Ospina for Foster.
In your position I'd rather get an Arsenal second midfielder for Fabregas. And a Sunderland def for -4 if you haven't one already. Otherwise I'd probably leave it as is and keep my (potential) -4 for GW38.Thinking of Fabregas to Gerrard.
Have Bellerin and Sanchez.
Any value whatsoever in bringing in Kos for Baines for minus 4? Just playing for overall placing now.
Current defenders playing are Bertie, Bellerin and Jenkinson. Kos would play instead of Jenkinson or Bertie.0 -

Now. About my team... I'm a bit like FHFC. Gone full circle this week...
Current team isMig (Myhill)
Terry Bellerin PVA (Alder Schlupp)
Sanchez Silva Hazard Sterling (Cambiasso)
Aguero Kane Benteke
£0.8m in bank
Planned transfer for ages was Sterling -> Ramsey. With his fitness issue I'm now debating this move with Cazorla and Ozil...
Don't think a 5th DGWer is needed there. Opinions?
--- edit ---
You seem determined to take a 4 pts hits :P...Gerrard and Ozil for Couthino and Fabregas?
Just have a feeling Gerrard will bag a couple of goals.
Well if you have a gut instinct I'd say go for it. Nothing's worse than realise afterwards that you had a good idea and you bottled it. That said Coutinho -> Gerrard for -4 doesn't sound very rational. Not that this game is very rational either though
.
About the second Arsenal mid I can't decide between Ramsey, Cazorla & Ozil...
If Ramsey was 100% fit I'd have no hesitation. Cazorla is on pens so this increases its appeal. And Ozil seems the less prone to rotation... What a headache !0 -

Ozil has the stats but whether they'll be converted into points is the question. I've gone with him for both differential potential and game time security. Also he has performed better at home since his return from injury and with 2 of the last 3 being at the Emirates, hopefully this will continue.0 -

He has the highest ppg of the 3 of them also.0 -

I'd worry about Ramseys game time.
Cazorla won't pick up too many points without a penalty.
You don't know what Ozil will give you.
I don't particularly like any of them as options tbh but Ozil seems like the best bet. I might buy him myself.0 -

I'm actually 0.3 short of Kane to Costa
. Bit early for Costa this week, but he could be an option v Sunderland.
With Brown and Gomez out I'm not gonna double on Sunderland defensively, if I was going for the second option the prime candidate would be Gerrard and bench Albrighton. Nobody that's worth selling Kane for with Hull in something of a meltdown.
Looks like for once the original plan from when making my transfers last week will hold. Bank it and roll the dice with 2 fts and a wad of money for GW38 unless anyone has a better idea.0 -

I'm really tempted by the Gerrard thing. Will still leave me with 1.4m on the bank and could comfortably bench him next week if he wasn't likely to start.
Could line up like this...
Mignolet.
PVA, Koscielny, Terry
Hazard, Sanchez (c), Ramsey, Gerrard
Aguero, Kane, Benteke
(Albrighton, Huth, Wolly)
Any views from my backroom team?
I'm on my own with my three offspring all day tomorrow from first thing so won't have much time to consider things before 11.30!
You won't be happy until you do it, and I dig that
It may not be the right thing to do but go for it if you want to. You may have to offload the week after though just to consider.
Your DOF grants you free reign this weekend.0
