Game week 2 transfers

Bleating Lamb

I'm thinking of doing the same Ace 2007.
The back 3 will have to be ever vigilant next week with no feckin keeper behind them:)

My keepers are Courtois and Schwarzer...and have zero in bank(have Aguero.

Way I see it its unlikely that any keeper will actually give you a net gain on pts for the week,Courtois a season keeper for me.

Is the site showing 0 transfers in/out for everyone ? no way 3million people are waiting to make transfers ! Richie out for a palace player but ill need to wait a week to free up money

Still the same for me . showing last seasons points totals too. that section is usually up to date . Annoying !

I want to get mahrez in. I already have vardy and Morgan from Leicester but I completely forgot that I had also had schwarzer as my 4.0 keeper.

Speaking of keepers, like many I got stung with the courtois red.

So I took a 4 point hit already and did schwarzer to gomez, and ritchie to mahrez. I'm already on that slippery slope after only half a gw

If you've identified Courtois as the the goalkeeper you want to have, are you really going to let a one game ban change that? If I were you I'd switch Hennessy to McCarthy and play him next week. Getting in Romero is a bad idea while the transfer window is still open, as anything could happen with the United goalkeeper situation.

Wasn't it a straight red

Didn't watch the game, but he is banned until 23/08 according to fpl site.

A straight red doesn't mean a 3 match ban. It depends what it's for. It's only 3 games if it's violent conduct.

A 'last man' red card is a 1 game ban unless it is also considered violent.

Ritchie out for Mahrez. Ritchie fluffed a lot of shots/passes and I might get some price rises going with Mahrez by the tone of motd.

Mr. Guappa

Hope to bank this week's transfer but we'll see what the rest of this GW brings first. Have Mahrez so I'm ahead of the masses there. Hopefully my remaining players all start and avoid giving me a reason to transfer them out and hopefully no one not in my team(Aguero) goes nuts necessitating a move on my part.

Happy enough to give Ritchie another week (on the bench this time), and although my 4.5m quadruplets at the back look ropey enough I'll give them another GW to prove themselves.

shineon23

need to get Courtois out as I bet on the wrong palace 4.0 GK - probably dropping to a 4.5 GK for a few weeks (Ruddy I'm thinking short term)

depending on how monday goes; may have to take treble hit to get Aguero in.

Would have to drop Silva
and probably Rooney-but can always see him scoring big against Villa & Newcastle.

Anyone that watched the united game- Depay, Mata or even Young, who looked the most involved? have 8.5 for a MF that way. or could abandon united for a week.

Could possibly drop Benteke/Silva and
get Aguero and one of Mahrez(before possible price rises), Ibe (if he plays tomorrow ) or Young with a 6.5 budget.

Any suggestions if I'm to get Aguero in.?

24 Hours From Tulsa

Banking it, and will use a -4 in GW3 to allow me 3 transfers

Plan is Walcott/Lukaku/Benteke out for Cazorla/Aguero/Mahrez

What site are people using for price predictions this year?

Hope u have extra money put aside as mahrez and aguero will both prob rise at keast .2 or .3 by then

If i have No injuries I'll bank it. Would've been nice to have stuck with mahrez over Ritchie but no point in kneejerking now.

Benimar

Planning on keeping my FT barring a serious injury today.

I'm a bit worried having Targett, Mings and Coates that I could end up with only 2 defenders but will hold off until closer to the deadline as I only have the cash for a 4.5 defender anyway and none jump out at me.

Dice75

Defence a bit of a nightmare....

Distin (bench) - annoying
Paredes (bench) - annoying as started almost every game last season
Bassong (ok)
Morgan (ok)
Jones - hauled off & now worried he'll be dropped for Matthews


My only planned transfer was Naismith (one week disaster punt) to Sahko.

Not so sure now but dont want to take a -4

Micah Richards - 8 point start?

km79

banking it barring injuries to mane or Walcott (or him not starting maybe) in which case I may consider Cabaye for his 2 home games

It's a long season. Ritchie could still outscore Mahrez. When ulloa is back, mahrez is off penalties whereas Ritchie is on set pieces for Bournemouth.

Don't fancy Villa defensively at all. Have Man U on Friday night, and Villa always fold like a pack of cards to them. Haven't beaten Man U at home since 1995!

Sherwood teams are historically poor at the back.

Villa won't play Bournemouth every week either. They were lucky to sneak the win yesterday. Bournemouth should have scored at least once.

I can see a Richards bandwagon.

Will start with fpl statistics hopefully not too many changes on last years formula!

extra gravy

Was going to bank but Walcott may have to go straight away, can't be wondering if a 9 million player is going to be starting every week.

Lads would you wildcard this team?
Courtois (suspended)
Morgan
Kolarov
Bellerín (not playing)
Fab
Depay
Walcott ( benched)
Mane
Sakho
Kane
Rooney
Subs

Hennessey
Williams
DarrenFletcher
Taylor.
Already have Romero in for Courtois. Could field Williams Fletcher and captain
Kane but getting very tight.

Not a hope I'd wildcard that. Bellerin could be back next week, Giroud could get injured in the first 5 minutes today and Walcott is back in.
It's only GW1, let it play out.

I think you could paper over the cracks with a 4 point hit. I would have waited for news on Romero/De Gea/new signings before making that transfer. And I have Romero.

Dubliner28

Will bench Courtios and play Casper S...
Might leave my transfer and switch to a 3-4-3 giving me two free transfers GW3 to bring in Kun and Cayabe

SlickRic

Walcott probably has to go.

I may wildcard. Sanchez and Aguero will be back and I can't do a lot without a -8. I really was banking on Walcott starting the season as first choice.
