    With KDB going down & Firmino likely to rise

    Is it better to take -4 hit now
    KDB to Sanchez
    Will.i.am to Firmino

    Or should I wait??

    Weary of the cup games in between

    If your set on those moves why not do KDB to Firmino tonight and wait on Willian to Sanchez?

    I'd be more set on Willian to Firmino.

    I'm weary of value

    Going to leave Firmino. Can't see myself playing him next week so very little point. Weary of Liverpool or United attacking players. Too many flashes in those pans.

    Might double up on Pulisball instead.

    I may have hit the trigger a tad early on the Firmino thing and bought him in without realising the two upcoming games but it's done now and if he is injured, I'm sitting on a strong bench so I'll live! Just really didn't wanna take the combo of KdB dropping and Firmino's probable +2 rise.

    Famous last words.

    Have ignored my own cautionary advice from above and dumped Arnie for Firminio.

    Didn't cost that much in the grand scheme of things and didn't want to lose out on the inevitable rises coupled with probable KDB falls.

    Plus Arnie has been kack since I bought him.

    Plus I'm a Liverpool fan so nice to finally have a player that might actually be useful in FPL

    Transferred Arnie out for Firminio.
    Spotted that there are no games till 2nd due to cup games but I think Firminio will get a couple of price rises. Would only be able to afford him at current price.

    I must admit I'm tempted by a KDB to Firmino gamble tonight.

    Sunderland next for KDB (and he quite enjoyed the first leg) but we have to go back to August 28th in White Hart Lane to see him score more than 3 pts away from home. And he did face teams like Villa, Watford, WH away.

    What I'm thinking is if I want to upgrade Ozil to Sanchez while keeping a bit of funds for 1 premium def, I can make at least £0.2m net value with this move and maybe up to £0.4m on deadline's evening day. Firmino could well rise 3 times this week and have enough to go up in the night between the 2nd & 3rd February while KDB could drop a 3rd time on the same evening, particularly if he keeps the same (away) form.

    Just saw that Sunderland did not concede very much at home lately.

    And just realised PVA is on 4 goals in his last 4 PL games :eek:?! WTF?! Does he play centre forward or what???!!!

    Who to keep as my 4th playing midfielder - Alli or Mahrez?


    Simple. Alli for away game. Mahrez for home games.

    Will bear the loss in value on KDB and reassess after the cup semis are decided.
    I'll get a look at Sanchez too hopefully.

    Have decided to let KDB have a go at Sunderland.

    Most likely transfers will be
    G Johnson to Evans or McAuley
    Ozil to Sanchez

    Would leave me with
    DDG McCarthy
    Dawson, Evans, Daniels, Simpson, Targett
    Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mahrez, Alli
    Aguero, Kane, Lukaku

    My team:

    De Gea/Hennessy
    Alder Dawson Nyom Simpson Daniels
    Alli KDB Payet Mahrez Wanyama
    Aguero Lukaku Kane
    5 mil banked.

    I'm thinking of sitting on the transfer. De Gea, Alder and KDB are all on borrowed time. All three have decent fixtures next week though.

    KDB I think will get an extension because they have Sunderland next week for example. Alder could score against Norwich.

    Nyom could be a problem though. Has he been dropped?

    De Gea > Hennessy
    Alli > Stanislas
    Vardy > Aguero

    -4. Toss up between Alli and Mahrez on who to sell. Nice to finally have Kun. Triple Captain anyone :P?

    Was thinking of TC for a second but it is better to save it for a double gameweek. Though that is my final chip having played the other two :cool:

    Did KDB to Firmino, have a second free, tempted by Ozil to Sanchez or Lukaku to Costa. Mahrez to Sanchez doable for a way too strong front 8.

    I presume we'll know a fair bit more about DGWs after the league cup semis and the FA cup matches, yes?

    I'll be waiting another week before thinking too much about transfers I'd say. Value be damned!

    Thinking:

    Mahrez out - Sanchez in
    Zouma out - Collins in

    A little concerned Mahrez could run riot v Liverpool though and I'll probably want him back in 3 weeks. But want to get Sanchez early to give me power midfield and strike force:

    Ozil Sanchez KDB Payet

    Aguero Kane Lukaku

    Need to ditch Myhill anyway, Foster or Forster in for him.

    Undecided on my 2nd FT. Mahrez - Alli or might just roll it over. Probably wait till the League Cup and FA Cup fixtures and see what DGW planning makes sense then

    Won't be doing anything until after FA cup.
    Yaya --> Firmino is an option but I'll probably bank and give Yaya the Sunderland game.
    Happy with the rest of my team for once.

    Are people really considering selling KDB before Sunderland??! I have the exact money for Ozil to Sanchez which I'll probably do

    I'll be making my changes next Tuesday for sure, unless we find out how the League Cup final will affect fixtures before that time. I've no players that I'll need to get in before they rise so who I get rid of will be entirely dependent on whether the DGW is before or after the blank.

    I genuinely have no idea, one of the joys of West Ham this season is that there's probably only 2 nailed on starters (Adrian and Payet). Everyone else is liable to be rotated to suit the opposition.

    For CB's, we have....
    Reid - our best CB, pretty much the captain.
    Tompkins - very good defender, came through he ranks, the guy being lined up as being the future of WH.
    Ogbonna - big money singing who was on the bench for the Champions League final last season
    And then there's this big, awkward, unfashionable Welsh lad (Collins) who's playing out of his skin keeping his spot. I've no idea how long he can keep it up.

    I swapped KDB out for Silva with the Sunderland game in mind, and also to free up enough to get Firminio in for Willian.

    Well that makes sense since you're not actually losing a city attacker before Sunderland.

    Nope. Ozil to Firmino for me. KDB gets one week more and may be transferred out for Sanchez. All after the cup games.

    I'll be staying away from transfers until after the FA cup games.
    Have 2 FT'ers, I can use them if needs be,
    Still the wildcard and chips to play. I'm looking at you, Kun vs Villa for triple captain!
