    Just seen a bandwagon going by and leapt on it!

    Allen in for Walcott. I did put thought into it. It allows me enough to upgrade Deeney to lukaku or else lallana to hazard. Kinda want to keep lalanna so might hold off on making a decision this week as it'd be for a hit and I need rid of valencia too.
    Other option is cheap 4.5 striker like Keane for Deeney & hazard for fletcher and play 3-5-2.
    Again, I'll think about it as I like 3 strikers.

    Allen and Hazard for Shaq and Mane.

    Probably.

    Allen in tonight for certain.

    Shaqiri injury has forced me Into selling zlatan
    This may be a good thing :D

    Arnie & Son to Allen & Hazard. The Arnie experiment was a disaster and Son stopped scoring when I got him in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,658 ✭✭✭greedygoblin


    Antonio to Allen tonight most likely.

    Then Walcott & Capoue might be making way for Coutinho and a cheapie later in the week. I think I'll ignore Hazard for now.

    Shaqiri -> Allen is done.

    Thinking walcott to mcarthur to cash in on price rises


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭shineon23


    I've a confession to make.

    I convinced myself the recession was over and I've abandoned my penny pinching transfer policy.

    Bought Shaqiri over Allen last week on the ethos that I earned the money in my transfer kitty and I deserve to enjoy it.

    Rather than keeping some in reserve for a rainy day, well that day is here and it's pouring.

    I've made 2 early transfers for the first time this season and I was rightly punished.

    Well no more, I'm living far beyond my means.

    I have taken a -8 for next week.
    Mane, Shaqiri, Capoue out for Coutinho, Allen, Gundagen.

    2 probably silly sideways transfers but I got very lucky with a captain pick a few weeks ago (I didn't save a captain that I wanted to do). I'm owed this misfortune.

    I will now be reestablishing my budget buys and flavour of the month watchlist that brought me Danny Simpson, Adam Smith, James Collins and a young circa (4.0-4.5) Hector Bellerin in the past.

    Yours in Fantasy

    Have enough to transfer Son and Redmond out and bring in Hazard and a sub 6Mil midfielder

    thinking:

    Son -> Hazard
    Redmond -> Allen


    Would give me a midfield of:

    Sanchez - Allen - Hazard - Firmino - Capoue


    Thoughts please??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,513 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    So is Allen the next Mahrez or the next Capoue?

    And when you're replying to that, say whether you currently own Allen or not.

    Last night was my first time watching him in a live match, definitley closer towards Mahrez, was constantly buzzing in and around the box. I don't own him and I probably won't out of stubbornness


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,764 ✭✭✭Thepoet85


    Walcott to Allen done last night.

    Have a second ft, but going to bank it for the international break as long as I'm not forced into using it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,158 ✭✭✭✭hufpc8w3adnk65


    Shaq to Allen (reverse of the transfer last week) or Gundogan

    Well unlike Capoue he does have an attacking role in the team. He wouldn't have to do much with that attacking role given his price he is now. I dont have him and will, probably foolishly, see how he does next couple games.

    Neither since he won't come close to Mahrez's 1st half of last season, but he's playing #10 and putting up great stats for his price. Not getting him since Coutinho is my 4th mid and I hope he fails tbh since this season has been really interesting with no super enabler that everyone has


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 858 ✭✭✭mectavba


    Have the funds to do Walcott > Couthinho. Thinking of taking a hit to do Deeney > Austin. Southampton have Hull at the weekend....you could see him get a hat-trick. Southampton have nice fixtures up to xmas too. Is it worth the -4?

    Agree that if he emerges as a super enabler it will be a bit of a pity. But I fear he is the real deal, at least for now and I have also reversed last week's move and got him in for Shaqiri. There are times to be stubborn, and times to admit your mistake and limit the damage.

    I may go for Hazard too, or may hold onto the double Liverpool mids for another week to avoid the hit.

    I'm probably looking at -4 already to ship Valencia.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,235 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Dunno weather to go Couthino or Hazard.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    Deeney and Capoue gone,Gundogan and Austin in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭Mike Ehrmantraut


    Any advice lads???

    Been really happy with my midfield the last couple of weeks, but would like to fit Hazard into my team and also with Giroud back, I'm a bit worried about how it will affect Walcott and to a lesser extent Sanchez.

    Current midfield
    Sanchez, Walcott, Firmino, Coutinho, Allen

    Getting Hazard into the team comes at a cost, meaning Firmino would have to make way.
    So options are stick with what I have
    A) Firminio and Walcott
    Or
    B) Hazard and Chadli
    Chadli would rotate with Allen and Austin, with 1 of the 3 on the bench.

    Just did bellerin to Alonso don't like arsenal next two fixtures and Chelsea look alot more solid in defense since 3 at the back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,475 ✭✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    As part of a rage -16 hit yesterday morning I have ended up with Giroud but I'm not sure how I feel about it.
    If it works out it will have been a complete fluke.

    I would give it another week. Firmino at home to Watford is a tasty fixture and hazard v Everton could easily be 0 0. Hazard may go up .1 in the meantime. Can you afford 10million has?

    No, can afford it at the moment but If Hazard or Walcott change in price I'll have to leave it off, or could go for a cheaper option than Chadli to balance it out.

    Avoiding the Allen bandwagon?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 674 ✭✭✭carnie


    Would I be bonkers to drop Walcott and Beneteke for Hazard and Vokes, with a -4 hit?

    Had him before the wheels were even fitted to the bandwagon, now you lot are all over it..lol.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,672 ✭✭✭ElTel


    Do I sell Firmino or Coutinho (if he price rises before Haz midweek) and Valencia for Hazard and a 4.4M defender? If I take the hit I would prefer to keep Firmino as he is less likely to be rested after IB and I've had him from the start.
    TV is starting to worry me now but with my WC intact this -4 is tempting.

    Can you downgrade a premium defender instead?

    I think I'd hold off on getting Hazard until Chelsea's fixtures turn really good in GW15.
