Gameweek 26 Transfers.

A predictable Sanchez - Mane for me this week

22-02-2017 11:36am

It's really really really killing me to post after my recent ban as I said I would abstain from posting again but why is everybody buying Mane when Firmino is the LFC midfielder to buy ?

For me personally, Firminho is incredibly frustrating. Also, I get the feeling that Mane is a better captaincy choice, especially in away fixtures.

A few Liverpool-supporting mates also saying that Mane is probably better over the long term.

I'm bringing in Coutinho

FutureGuy · 22-02-2017 12:00pm

I'm perfectly set up for GW26 and not too bad when it comes to GW28...

Heaton - Jaku
Baines - Coleman - Brunt - Chambers* - Daniels
Alli* - Eriksen* - Sanchez** - Sigurdsson - Phillips
Lukaku - Kane* - Crouch*

(*misses one game, * misses two games)

14 for GW26 and 8 for GW28 (assuming City and Stoke also have a blank)

Will probably do Sanchez to Mane too.

I'd bring Coutinho or Firmino before Mane.

Why take a hit for Mawson to bench him?

Because I'm struggling with the idea of benching Phillips and if I want Costa & Lukaku up front and Phillips in my midfield I can only play 3 at the back plus Mawson has Chelsea this week and I'm looking to bank my Ft next week to see if I need to make any change ahead of GW28
If he didn't have Chelsea I probably would buy him and play him and bench Philips but Philips has the better fixture this week

Just like early season when we had only the league to focus on - the goals will come from all over midfield.

I'm convinced we will finish top 3. I think Firmino will out score the rest.

I'd would rather spend on Lallana than Mane.

It will be shared all around the midfield.

Welcome back. I'm glad someone else shares my opinion, I thought I was going mad!

Strongly considering Firmino.

Mane has 11 goals and 6 assists despite missing 3 full games
Firminio 8 goals and 6 assists missing 1 full game

Coutinho 5 goals and 6 assists despite missing 7 games - I had him earlier, and he would be the one I would look to buy, but he has been terrible since he returned from injury. I therefore got Mane.

Very true.
Only thing making me lean towards Coutinho however is that he didn't really look fit imho.

A two week break/sunshine training camp would help fix that so am prepared to take a gamble on him.

Iused2likebusts · 22-02-2017 2:54pm

One of the main reasons people are getting mane over coutinho or firmino is because mane scored 2 goals in the last game. If firmino or coutinho had scored 2 goals last game a lot of people would be getting them now instead. When I do move for one of them im not sure which one it will be be as I think all 3 are good options. I'd probably slightly prefer firmino

kopite386 · 22-02-2017 3:09pm

I already have Firmino in my team and I'd get Mane in aswell for Jesus if it wasn't for the fact that's he down as a midfielder and not a forward

Regardless of DGW's I think double LFC midfield will become something again.

They'll finish top 3.

I'll be buying 2 in my WC and sticking.

Not true on my behalf, if Coutinho or Firmino had scored twice I would still have got Mane, actually I'm a bit annoyed he got those 2 goals because now everyone is getting him.
I've never had Firmino but I had Coutinho 3 times (in FPL not real life) and he got injured each time, and Mane is playing centre forward.

Welcome back. Now to disagree with you!

Firmino has produced less goals and assists than his OOP position and great shooting stats suggest he should.

There is a very good comparison of their stats and returns here...

As with all stats they are open to be interpreted differently, but it indicates a case for Mane having been the best FPL option, especially when all 4 of their mid options have been playing together. In 12 games where they all played Mane is the clear leader, with Couts second.

Mane is not playing centre forward.

And that's the way to play the game imo have your mind made up and stick to the decision despite the most recent outcome. Its why I got alli in over eriksen just before Xmas. The form was saying eriksen but I fancied alli as a bigger goal threat. The reason to change your mind on options should be based on major changes like a change in starting positions or somebody assuming or losing penalty or set piece responsibility.

Done Alexis to Mane

Now looking at Iwobi to Coutinho or Firmino. Have always been leaning towards Coutinho due to his earlier season form. Appreciate he got injured & didn't look the same since return but felt it was rushed. Think the break will help and he could explode.

Only doubt is Firmino who is playing centre forward.

Been holding off til closer the deadline to finalise for a -4

Shanotheslayer · 22-02-2017 8:39pm

With the City DGW coming up forces me to get rid of Sanchez this week.

Going to be an interesting 3GW!

Father Hernandez · 23-02-2017 11:30am

Alexis to Mane, best potential out of the 3 IMO for FF returns

spock. · 23-02-2017 12:28pm

Contemplating a -4 of Ibra to Costa as a one week punt and benching Daniels.
I was planning to hold Ibra but the City news means I'll likely be selling him for Kun next week anyway.
Ibra --> Costa(-4) --> Aguero

Iused2likebusts · 23-02-2017 2:29pm

I made a bad mistake this week making an early transfer. No more early transfers for me unless I have just the exact money required to make a move.

What was the transfer?

Did the exact same myself with a view towards doing the same move next gameweek for Kun.

If I had of kept Ibra I would have had to have played Kone against Everton this week so easiest -4 decision ever really

Sanchez to hazard . Its a good move for this week and I had 8 players in place for gw 28 with 2 FTS so was well set up. However with Liverpool now having a gw 28 fixture and the potential dgw in 27 I'd have played things differently.

What would you have done? I still have Sanchez and was going to get Mane in this week but not sure what to do now with the possible DGW next week.

Was going to do the same myself but said I'd wait until after FA cup and went with Mane instead. Did Ibra to Costa last week and might not have done it with the MC DGW but might just do Costa -> Aguero next week

I'd have done Sanchez to a Liverpool mid or Sanchez to Snodgrass and Carroll to Costa for a -4. I'd then have done Costa to aguero next week for free. It will probably work out fine as a lot of the time when you think ahead in this game it doesn't work out.

Gameweek 26 Transfers.
