GW38 Transfers. The final ones.

Could easily take a -12 but I'm doubting the wisdom.

I want rid of Hazard, Sane, Redmond and Gabbiadini.

Trimm Trabb

Just did Coutinho and Origi for Sane and Rashford for a -4.

The hit probably wasn't justifiable but its the last week so lets go crazy. Getting rid of Sane was a wrench too but Alli, Eriksen and Sanchez all look like good picks too and someone had to make way for the Brazilian magician.

gammygils

Walker & Ox out - Lovren & Coutinho in for a -4. Might fuk Gabbi out for a -8
Playing BB. Might not be worth it! Some of my team mightn't even play!
Decisions! Have another day to mull it over

Yeah. Costa is the only one that might make sense. But selling him and keeping Hazard makeno sense. And selling both leaves no Chelsea attacker.

Hazard to Liverpool mid is boring and predictable but probably the right move.

Hmmm, Coutinho/Benteke and Zaha/Sturridge combinations become attractive in this case. Just a question of which and who is the most important.

I have Hazard & Gabbi to ditch. So one of these combinations seems the "perfect" match for my team. Maybe the first one is safer and more points-promosing? Benteke likes playing big teams away too (double digits away to Chelsea & 'Pool lately, just blanked away to City). But I'd be terrified of owning Coutinho again. This guy cast a spell on my team for 2 seasons in a row now (always blanking while in, always performing while out).

Depends what's your aim? And cash leagues still at stake? Also can you try and get a highest ever finish? Quite often, the sensible boring choice is one of the best one .

I think its a dangerous assumption to be making that hazard isn't going to start just because he started Monday. I just can't bring myself to sell him ahead of a home game with Sunderland. Although I've been on the wrong end of most marginal decisions like this so no doubt he won't play.

I'm wary of this too. Especially as I think Chelsea could well score 5 or 6.

But probability wise selling Costa and keeping Hazard would be risky.

Not sure at all what to do. I have AOA in my pocket too and probably gonna play it. Can't see many clean sheets.

I'm thinking the same. Every time I go to look at My potential transfer I see that Sunderland (h) beside him. It's 6 days since he last played and another 6 before the cup final so he could get 60/70 mins or the last 20/30.
Even with the latter option he's coming on fresh against a tired Sunderland defence.
Decisions decisions!

Peter File

Kane in for Lukaku (-4) Everton away to Arsenal and he doesnt score against the big teams and Kane away to Hull and aiming for the golden boot. Is it a no brainer?

FHFC

With the Sunday deadline I don't wanna spend all weekend thinking about this.

I'm currently looking like this and AOA.

Caballero
Davies, Alonso (Fuchs, Stephens, Holgate)
Hazard, Sanchez, Sane, King, Albrighton
Jesus, Kane, Costa.

Hard to fit a Liverpool player at the expense of any of those.

Hazard to Coutinho or Costa to Sturridge just don't​ feel right. Think Chelsea will score​ more than Liverpool.

It's hard to see anything worth a hit either. Do yis this it's worth -4 to downgrade a def and do Albrighton to Zaha. I think Zaha has a higher points ceiling than Albrighton. Zaha -4 could well be > Albrighton.

Mint Sauce

Sanchez to Coutinho/Firmino, and making one of them Captain.

That's it.

Quite a few teams with Saints defenders. I'd consider playing Stephens.

I think Swansea will play with more freedom tomorrow now which will be good for siggy
Would not play any of their defenders though !

I am slightly tempted to captain him but probably shouldn't .........siggy captain ........play PVA ahead of defenders with home games when he might not even start .........well it is gw38!
Sure I'm playing with no goalie anyway so what difference will it make

Huth is not available.

I wouldn't be taking a hit to get Zaha.

Presuming Km79 meant Fuchs.

My logic is that Leicester v Bournemouth and Saints v Stoke all look to me like stereotypical end of season 'friendlies' with clean sheets highly unlikely.

Am I really gonna bank GW38 transfer!!?

2nd Row Donkey

Front 3 of Kane, Costa and Vardy

... Gonna move Vardy on I think.

Sturridge or Benteke incoming perhaps.

If I go Benteke I will have zero Liverpool coverage.

I also have no arsenal and no city coverage, so theoretically I could go into the gw with zero players from the 3 team with so with something to actually play for.

On the flip side, I have Kane, Costa, Pedro, Alli, Son and king (Albrighton on bench) so I'm loath to ditch my spurs and Chelsea players on case they go nuts and King is king so...

I don't think anyone who takes a hit involving Zaha is taking a hit 'to get Zaha'. Instead, he's an enabler (with a potentially great fixture) for a more dangerous, expensive player who you mightn't be able to afford without the hit. E.g. Kane, Sturridge, Coutinho

Vardy to Jesus or Sturridge I reckon.

FHFC is contemplating downgrading a defender to upgrade Albrighton to Zaha for a -4 and use AOA.

Need help making a decision

Gabbi out for Llorente/Benteke/Origi
OR
Alonso out for Lovren/Kompany/Davies

Worried about Alonso not starting/getting enough minutes and not a fan of Gabbi at all.

I did
I'd play Fuchs for possible attacking returns rather than clean sheets
Don't think zaha is worth 4 points more than him this week tbh
I won't be bankIng my transfer BUT it's looking more and more likely I'll use it to get a keeper
I could do Alli to fabregas or coutinho and they MIGHT outscore him (not so sure they will ) BUT having no keeper whoever I bring in will surely score more than zero............and I'm not taking a hit
Man I'm gone so boring

Don't sell Alonso
Sell gabbi - and I'd put Sam vokes ahead of most of them this week bar beneteke

Admittedly. Did Conte say anything regarding him?

Then, over the last 3 tasty Chelsea home fixtures, Hazard only got involved in 1 of their 11 goals! I'm not saying he'll blank but he may partly be in "season's over" mode already and mainly focusing on winning another title next week?

Again, it depends what you're aiming at? A punt for best ever finish? Some cash leagues at stake? In short, do you wanna play safe or try something?

The only 'Pool player highly owned (though there's probably some dead teams in his percentage) is Coutinho (~23%). But he's less than Alli (32.9%), Hazard (32.0%) & Sanchez (29.3%) (top 3 in that order, Coutinho being 4th) and King (19.4%) just behind in 6th.
In terms of forwards, it's Costa first (33.8%), Kane 4th (21.8%) & Jesus 8th (13.5%). Sturridge is not even on the first page (1.4%)!!!

Then. Zaha. He was a disaster for me. So I'd be tempted to say no without even thinking! But, objectively, he's very inconsistent. Whether he'd be worth a -4 on the last GW is a lot more a gamble than going Hazard -> Coutinho for me!

So. If you're happy with your team (that you built with your WC for the run-in) you may as well leave it as is. The only transfer I'd consider if you don't feel like gambling is Coutinho in for Hazard assuming he'd not see the full game and would not be 100% bothered. If you feel otherwise, you know, even if you're hit-friendly (:p) you don't HAVE TO make transfers !

Yeah. You won't take a -12 or 16 to fit in players with something at stake anyway. So you may try and go for one (e.g. Vardy -> Sturridge) and accept that your team looks different than you'd ideally like.
Vardy home to Bournemouth looks pretty tasty though... Based on recent form, maybe Alli to Coutinho is "safer"?

FHFC

Here's another way of looking at this. Somebody will score that season changing haul on Sunday. I was lucky enough to Captain Giroud last year.

Everyone list 3 players you think have potential to score a hattrick on Sunday.

Kane.
Sturridge.
Aguero.

Costa possibly my 4th.
