gameweek 12 transfer thread

spock.

Bellerin's injury means I'm playing Dawson this week.
It's weird how comfortable I am with playing a WBA defender at old trafford...

I think I'll just go back to my original.plan of myhill to ddg. Jos is now fit and it looks like kolorav is nailed on to start this week. That gives me moreno kolorav and one of Richards or Jos.

With Darmian and Valencia ruled out is it safe to assume Rojo will at the very least play this gameweek at RB?
Possibly LB in future GW's (being a rotation risk with Young)

Can't justify forking out 6.5 on Smalling with monies needed to get Aguero back in soon.

De gea could solve this but I have Begovic and quite like their upcoming fixtures until Christmas and see him as a differential as noone in my private leagues have him.

extra gravy

Article on Rojo here about how impressive his recent performances have been. He looked nailed on for the time being anyway.

Hmmm, I could double down on ManU defence, De Gea & Rojo could yield great results

begovic has been a real differential for me since I signed him as well!!!! all the other teams keepers keep getting points and he doesn't !
by the time Chelsea kick into gear what's the beta courtois will be back.....bye bye bego you won't be missed
I took great pleasure hitting the confirm button

Yeah him and Chelsea are frustrating, I've had more troubles in defence so glad of someone guaranteed 90 minutes (and Chelsea have to turn it around sometime-which I've been saying all season )

If I have no other pending transfers the week they're playing Spurs I might sell up but next few fixtures do make it tempting to hold on;
Stoke
Norwich
Spurs
Bournemouth
Leicester
Sunderland
Watford

By then Courtois should be fit.

Mr.Prodston

Howard -> De Gea
Eriksen -> Mahrez

The first just seems like sense. The second just means that Vardy scores a hat trick while Mahrez sits on the bench.

Davies and Jarvis are still issues. Bony will become one soon.

With Bellerin injured, I might have a WB goalkeeper and defender! I think I might ship out Davies and get in a different defender. No idea who, though.

I'm playing Smalling and Dawson.
A Pulis style 0-0 would be great.

I can't understand the long odds on west brom keeping a clean sheet ........I gear a nil all

As stated earlier in the week I think its too early to see Rojo as first choice lb and is a risky transfer. Another thing is that rojo is in the argentina squad for games against brazil and colombia KO early wed 18 nov morning. Utd then play watford the early game in gw 13 sat nov 21 away to watford. Id be spending the extra million on smalling if going for a utd def. You will probably get bankable price rises and can downgrade to rojo if he keeps his place for another few weeks.

I think I might just bank it and think about who to pick after studying this weekends football. I'd like a Watford defender for when they are at home, but they're away this GW.

Mr. Guappa

My team (0.1 ITB, 1 FT):

Gomes - Guzan

van Dijk - Cawson - Bellern - Zabaleta - Martin

Sanchez - de Bruyne - Mahrez - Payet - Ayew

Pelle - Lukaku - Berahino


I could play AOA, bank the transfer and go with no subs.
Or, make a defensive transfer and bench Berahino. Possible transfers are Zabaleta to Rojo/Moreno/Simpson, or Martin to Simpson.

Maybe Stones instead of Rojo as the main transfer this GW? Everton fixture rivets my attention.

Everton have the fixtures but I'm not convinced by that defence, especially with Jagielka out.

Necronomicon

Just brought Smalling in for Dier. I now only have 2.2 in the bank, so giving myself a big headache when Aguero gets fit again.

I actually only have like 1.6m in the bank but I'm not worried. Two transfers and it's sorted - and that's presuming Mr Sergio comes back with a bang.

Bar that one week and his 25 points, he did nothing all season so I wouldn't be worrying about rushing out to buy him straight away - and certainly not when we have a slew of cheap to medium priced strikers scoring away.

Anyone thinking of starting Bellerin? Wenger could be at his old tricks again and I wouldn't mind a nice differential if it did happen

Nope, if he starts, he wont play the full match or he comes on for 30 mins or less. I dont fancy that against Spurs who are defensively solid

hhmmm now I am

spock.

I've kept Francis precisely for this week and now I'm thinking of taking a -4 to get rid of him...
Need to go to bed.

I think it's usually good for defenders if they get subbed at a reasonable time. Increases the chances of them getting a clean sheet. I wouldn't say he'd be brought on at any stage either, with a fullback being an unusual position to switch. Having said that, Debuchy could be struggling with match fitness. Tough one!

I don't think it will matter since I believe Bellerin is definitely out (can't remember a time Wenger said someone was and they made a miraculous recovery). But it's not worth the chance he starts and aggravates the injury or is a substitute and comes on for a cameo to shore up the match. It's not as if Spurs is a great fixture anyway

DDG really tempting me and to a lesser extent a utd. defender but I'm gonna resist and play Myhill (over Butland) and bank my FT.

MarkSRFC21

Myhill Hennessey
Bertie bellerin souare Evans kolarov

Is Evans/Souare to anyone worth a -4?

Lights On

Thinking of banking this week but Ighalo in for Murray is tempting, held off last week as I didn't want to take a hit and missed his haul. But I have a feeling Murray could do ok against Newcastle. Yay or nay?
