GW6 Transfers - Operation Bring Kun Back. MOD NOTE: PLEASE READ POST 71

Scorpion Sting

I did: Ibra, Hazard and Barkley out for Aguero, Firmino and Snodgrass for -4. Leaves me with 3 million in the bank for upgrades down the line such as Benteke to Lukaku and improve my defence a bit.

ElTel

Kun in for Zlatan.
I'll leave it at that for tonight.

MrSkinny

Seeing all the market volatility I just went for it last night and did Ozil, Hazard, Negredo > Aguero, Firmino, de Roon (-4). Leaves me with this front eight:

Sterling, Firmino, Antonio, Capoue, de Roon
Aguero, Ibra, Costa

Would have liked to get KDB in but it would have meant dropping Ibra, which I'm still a bit reluctant to do, plus at least another hit or two, which would be a bit crazy. We'll see how the next couple of weeks go.

Incidentally, any opinions on triple City attack? Do we think Pep will have them scoring for fun?

Anyone watch West Ham at the weekend?

Does Zaza look any use?

Zaha was useless and hooked early.

Nothing wrong with it. Bolasie has looked decent.

You're caving on Aguero then? What's your thoughts on shipping Ibra? Bit late as I've already done it but anyhow....

I've never been a fan of bolasie but have been impressed with him at Everton. On IBRA I'd like to keep him for the next two as I'd like to see how utd perform with Rooney out of the team which could happen this weekend. He is also the best capt option in gw 7. To get aguero I can either do hazard IBRA to mane aguero or hazard lukaku to bolasie aguero. The other option is just do hazard to mane save myself a -4 and capt either mane or firmino

I like Bolasie (though I haven't seen much of him this year) - though from memory he was a bit streaky so it's probably about timing when getting him in. He's an assist in each of the last to games, so maybe now is a good time.

Bolasie + Deeney is 0.9m cheaper than Lukaku + Capoue, and to be honest I'm thinking of going for the former.

Right options are getting limited
Option 1: Haz/Ichi to Kun/Carrick, price changes have fecked that one. -4 (Glad in one way)
Option 2: Ibra/Hazard to Kun/Mane for -4 (good option)
Option 3: Ichi/Sanchez to Kun/Matic for -4
Option 4: Hazard/Ichi to Mane/Rondon for -4
Option 5: Hazard to Mane
Options 2&3 depends whether or not Kun away to Swansea/Spurs will out score Ibra by 4 who is at home to Leicester/Stoke
Options 4&5 can I play 2 weekends without Kun.
Rest of the team
Foster/Jaku
Valencia, Baines, Gibson, Kingsley and Souare
Milner, Cazorla, Capoue,
Lukaku.
Any help greatly received.

My Current team

Foster / Jaku

Evans / Koscielny / Williams / Love / Amat

Ozil / Lallana / Antonio / Bolasie / Capoue

Aguero / Costa / Lukaku

Brought in Augero and Lallana for Ibra and Hazard this week

DJIMI TRARORE

Going for the CIA up front,Vardy out for Aguero,will give zlat a couple more weeks then Ben/Luk if utd start parking the bus whivh is Joses default mode setting when he starts losing. It might improve utd defence pts

How Soon Is Now

Sooooo Agüero.....

Currently have Costa Ibra Lukaku really don't wanna drop any but am I crazy to considering losing Ibra!!??

Either that or Agüero in for Costa. Hazard in midfield is another "issue" I need to address.

I think Bolaise will end up being one of the top scoring midfielders this year at that price range.

Lukaku thrives on balls being whipped in quickly. Coleman and Baines have great delivery but the final ball is delayed because the midfielders have to hold up play to give them time to overlap along the wings. With Bolaise, there's much less hold up play and the space that Lukaku is finding himself in is amazing!

Likewise I also think Townsend and Benteke will have a similar relationship over at Palace.

Mike Ehrmantraut

Ibra to Aguero done yesterday, may well get Ibra back in for the following gw against Stoke. Not having Ibra in the team against Stoke, especially with his high ownership would lead to a very nervy gw.

May well get Ibra back by gw7. I'm taking the thinking of not planning too far ahead kinda to extremes. Otherwise I'd have needed a -4 but more importantly to get rid of players like Payet, and even Costa who I want to keep a while yet in order to get Aguero for this week.

For GW7 I'll probably have to chose between getting Ibra back or Sanchez. My preliminary plan is if Rashford starts again vs Leicester I can get Sanchez and Rashford for Costa and Santi.

Have to say I'm quite amazed at the rapidity Guardiola's style was integrated and applied by the players. Looks like he's been there for ages. Granted Txiki Begiristain was already "scouting" for Pep here but building up an efficient attacking style is the most complicated thing to do in football (it's much easier to build on defensive solidity like Mourinho used to do). So yeah they could very well be scoring for fun this season. The only thing and we already experienced it a bit (e.g. Sterling ; and Klopp, who shares a similar vision than Pep, did it too last year) is there may be huge rotation at City and Pep's not afraid of early (pre 60 min) changes.

Definitely not 3. After Chelsea, Arsenal fixtures are just too good.
So either 2 or 5.
We'll all have to choose which 2 or 3 £10m+ players we want anyway. In a way, getting Kun for Ibra this week, getting Ibra back for next GW and Kun back for the next one could be the way to go this season. The rest of your team looks good enough (long-term I'd rather have a City mid than Cazorla though we'll have to see if Pep really rotates his squad) so you could very well just interchange Kun & Ibra upfront depending on fixtures.

patmac

Thank you for the detailed response Iroced , I think I will go option 5 after the LC games and take a chance that Aguero will not out score Ibra by 4 points over the 2 games, I still have to ditch the unfortunate Soaure as well soon as my defence is thin.

j timber

I badly need some advice please.
My team is
Foster jaku

Shaw valencia amat smith mccauley

Hazard ozil capoue anyonio sterling

Costa negredo ibra

Now my problem is how do sort out my defence ie two utd def not ideal.
Midfield: ozil not performing fantasy wise and prob like to change hazard also
Fordwards: do i get in aguero for ibra for this wk n get him back for gw7.
Negredo dropping also...

Was considering an 8 pt hit but who do i take out....

Mr.Prodston

We all know I love Mirallas, like he's a proper Mr.P punt type of player but Bolasie looks like he's going to be the better choice. He seems to have a level of consistency already that he never achieved at Palace...although that could just be too small a sample size.

Maybe Hazard and Ibra to Firmino and Aguero. You defence is dodgy if Shaw is out but you could play AOA this week and tackle it next with your FT

Chesty08

Ibra & Barkley to Aguero & Payet. Still might make a few more hits.

Heaton / Jak

Shaw Valencia Walker McAuley Amat

Hazard Redmond Capoue Payet Lamela

Aguero Sturridge Iheancho


Most likely benching Shaw Amat & Lamela this week.

Sturridge is not a good pick imo. You're better off with Firmino or Mané for Liverpool coverage.

-4 taken hazard and ibra to mane and aguero.

Bleating Lamb

Am wondering is it worth taking a -4 hit on Shaw as it looks like he will miss next two league games for Utd.


Anyone suggest a suitable replacement with point scoring potential over the next two game weeks as a punt??

Baines/Coleman

Puncheon versus Mirallas? If my only other player was Lukaku.

Thanks....Baines the obvious move of the two but feck it might just go with Coleman as in his two app to date this season he has done well.
