    I'd just move aguero to a striker you want to keep.

    Doesn't really fit
    I'm getting Niasse in to fund Hazard. I can't play him this weekend if hes suspended


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,672 ✭✭✭elefant


    Play Gross at Old Trafford or do Tom Carroll to Pogba for -4? Tempted to take the hit, can't see Brighton doing much and Pogba could easily wipe out that hit. I'd like to get him in before the inevitable rises too.

    I'd take the -4. United have only conceded once at home all season.

    You could be looking at a Gross point blank...

    Can you get Wilson and then fit in hazard. If not I'd nearly just hold aguero until you can get niasse .


  • Registered Users Posts: 248 ✭✭student7890


    Morata.

    With Chelsea playing tonight in CL and again in two weeks at Athletico.

    Question, Is Morata going to play the two potentially high scoring Premier league games inbetween??

    Beam me up Scotty.

    He'll play but probably be subbed for Batman is my guess

    No but if I go for another -8 on Monday I could, not a bad idea plus Wilson doesn't have a bad fixture this weekend

    Cheers

    Have 2FT's and don't know where to start :confused:

    Speroni | Elliot

    Yoshida | Duffy | Ward | Moreno | Daniels

    Zaha | Richarlison | Sane | Salah | Surman

    Vardy | Kane | Jesus

    £1.3M ITB


    * No ManU or Chelsea cover is the obvious issue
    - I can do Vardy to Wilson & Surman to Pogba.....but it feels a bit predictable :(
    - Also thinking maybe dump Yoshida for Yedlin, and then go Elliot to DDG :confused:

    Any feedback appreciated...

    I’m considering Scott Dann in for Phil Jones to free up some cash for attacking improvements. That seems insane. Is it insane?

    Ya there's so many better choices. Getting Dann I'd assume you have in your head you're hoping he'll sneak a goal or two.

    It's Palace though. Avoid, honestly

    Yes. You are banking on him getting a goal which he hasn't done in a long time. Palace dont look like they are going to keep a CS anytime soon

    Suggestions in the 4.7 million and under bracket that you’d be inclined to start this week?

    Palace’s fixtures turn something fierce, Dann will be a serious goal threat and Hodgson knows how to get a defence going.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,850 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    Palace do have good fixtures coming up - a reason to give Zaha as well.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec


    So 90 mins for Ageuro last night. Was hoping to bank and give him one more week but will probably have to ditch.

    Anyone keeping him?

    They could possibly go sane aguero Jesus front 3 at the weekend with sterling missing out.

    It's a right pain in the hole - he could easily get a hattrick this weekend, and then we're still in the same boat come Tuesday.

    Had my eyes set on Zaha as my 5th mid in a 3-5-2, but Gros and Choupo-Moting make it a difficult decision... could use the extra funds in defence with Jones crocked.

    Difficult decision tbh

    No....I'm selling him for a cheap mid and will upgrade the midfield.

    I haven't given up on Aguero/Jesus just yet though, but probably until after New Year. It seems the Mendy injury/Delph playing LB has changed how Pep is setting the team up. Another injury somewhere could change this, or them signing a new LB in Jan. Always the chance that Aguero/Jesus picks up a longish injury too. In which case the other becomes a must have.

    Aguero/Jesus....we just need a break

    Best alternative to Niasse lads?

    Probably Murray but risky and maybe not this week


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec


    Gomez likely to be rested, Jones out, Aguero probably will be rested... Brought in Francis last week only for him to get suspended.

    It's a constant struggle to get eleven players out there even taking points hits every week!

    I'm thinking Jones and Mbemba (finally) out for a 4 point hit, likely Scott Dann and maybe Yedlin in this week.

    Then next week probably Aguero and Andy King out for Hazard and a cheap striker for another hit.

    Constantly putting band aids on my team, it's really not good :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,148 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    I am one of the unlucky ones who already got Niasse in for Aguero. I think I will just go ahead with the planned -8 to upgrade the midfield and leave him on the Bench for 2 weeks.
    Hopefully a strong front 7 of Sane (in for Atau), Salah, Dilva, Gross, Zaha (in for TPT), Kane and Lukaku all play over the next 2 weeks. At least I avoid the headache of who to bench.

    I'll leave the Zaha and Sane transfers until Friday evening just in case something else happens before the weekend.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,686 ✭✭✭sheroman01


    Many people getting in Pogba?

    I'm on WC and have Sane and Dilva, but thinking of bringing in Pogba for Dilva. I have no Lukaku so would be doing it just for United attacking cover.


  • Registered Users Posts: 63 ✭✭deisechap09


    Having the exact same issue. I think I will go with Pogba. Hes likely to play as a 10 a few times over the next while as the United fixtures become more difficult which should free him up even further to get in the box more. I also have Sane and think he is probably enough City for me at the moment.

    I'm gonna leave him a few weeks. I have Lukaku for this weekend. I Plan to switch him to Marat next week and then either switch Dilva or Zaha to Pogba after that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 310 ✭✭OnDraught


    Pogba has 3 goals already this season. 2 more and he matches his tally for last season. The most he has scored in a league season is 8.

    I’m either missing something or he gets loads of assists or whatever but on his goal returns he’s not very good.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    If you taking Aguero out you have to do it this GW.

    There is no way you could take him out with 2 very favourable home ties coming up then (1 a midweek game)

    I'm contemplating holding off now.

    Aguero Mbemba and Can

    Walker, Pogba and Wilson

    Big decisions to make!

    Serie A - look at Salah's record
    Defensive team last year
    Matic
    Better form

    Yeah, maybe. I think it’s more wishful thinking from Utd fans though. I wouldn’t be rushing to get him in anyway.

    Salah scored 14 and 15 goals in his two seasons in Italy. They’re great numbers compared to Pogba.

    He is already on those numbers this season.

    Perhaps there are more goals scored in the PL than Serie A, Pogba's output should increase also!

    Btw I'm a Liverpool fan, Pogba created a lot of chances last season and was unlucky not to score more.

    And he is almost certainly on pens unless ibra is on pitch

    No he’s not. He has 9. He also has 9 under Klopp compared to what Pogba has to contend with under Mourinho. You might well be right but if Pogba gets more than 8 goals this season I will be surprised.

    Let's assume United top their group tonight. Do you think he starts Saturday (home against BHA) and Tuesday (Watford away) before Arsenal the following Saturday?

    Of course he's tempting especially if one is going without Lukaku but I'd be worried his minutes will be managed in the easier games coming up.

    Matic on for Pogba after 66 mins according to Flashscore


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    I was very sceptical on pogba at the start of the season but think he will prove to be good value. Utd are much better as an attacking force this year. I think he will play every game in the league over the Xmas. Mourinho always has a couple of go too men that he always plays and pogba and matic seem to be them. I'm looking at getting him after the city game.

    I want him. But I share your concern over immediate fixtures. I can't believe for a second that he's starting 5 games in such quick succession after just returning from serious injury. He starts one of Brighton or Watford on the bench for me. Because he's absolutely starting v Arsenal we know that

    He was replaced on 69 minutes against Newcastle and on 65 minutes tonight. I think he'll start all the upcoming games.

    Jones to Smalling worth a - 4.
    Smalling has played the full 90 in the last 6 consecutive league games.

    Not as keen on the auld Bps as Jonesy but still.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    Sane + Mbemba

    Or

    Pogba + Jones

    No...even if he gets a CS you still come out even...assuming Jones doesnt play, whcih I am doubting Jose on. Waste of a transfer IMO


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,788 ✭✭✭Benimar


    Current team:

    DDG, Elliott
    Jones, Davies, Naughton, Ward, Duffy
    Salah, Silva, Ritchie, Brady, RLC
    Kane, Aguero, Vardy

    Thinking of Ritchie and Aguero to Sane and Wilson for a -4. This will also leave me the cash to do Vardy to Morata for GW14.

    Good move? Bad move? Or do I need to sort the defence first?

    Good moves city strikers just aren't worth the hassle. If bavies plays the weekend which I think he will your probably looking like another -4 during the week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,385 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    I can't remember being this confused for quite a while.

    Gomes Elliot
    Alonso Maguire Naughton Gomez Rosenior
    Salah Silva Richarlison Choupo Carroll
    Kane Aguero Vardy

    1 FT and 0.1 in the bank.

    I need to sort myself for the Christmas period, and I'm nowhere near there IMO.

    I probably need Gomez out as I've only 3 guaranteed starters for the period.
    I need San
    I need either Morata or Hazard, and I should also probably take Kun out. They've a decent run for the next couple of games though, so it's tough to pull the trigger to get him out.

    Choices:
    A. Leave things as is, play Alonso, Maguire and Naughton this week, and hope the Silva matches Sane, and that Kun plays. Chelsea have a tough fixture this week, so could just wait for them.

    B. Silva and Aguero ----> Morata and Sanor -4

    C. Add in Naughton ----> Burnley defender for -8 (just to get my squad closer to where I want it to be)

    D. Carroll, Aguero and Maguire ----> Hazard, Abraham (assuming he's fit) and Tarkowski for -8

    I'm also open to a variation of the above.

    Alonso out would also free up funds, but Chelsea's fixtures look too good for cleanies.

    It's a nightmare!

    Yeah, I reckon I will need the -4 midweek, but I also reckon Davies plays at the weekend so going to hold him for now. Anyway, its never a good idea to fully trust Jose when it comes to injuries :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,522 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Close to dumping Aguero myself. Would be sick if he starts and does well though. But if he doesn't start then same dilemma next week.

    Have exact amount to do Aguero and T.Carroll to Morata and Sane for a -4. Very tempted though it leaves me with Niasse.

    For a starter I would probably make the move form Aguero to Morata for this week if I were you as Aguero will likely get 30 mins absolute max and may not play at all.

    Morata is on form and could see him getting points against Pool, and then at least you have him in for next week even if he blanks.

    Agree that Silva to Sane is wise for your next move which you will be able to do next week with the funds spare. Not sure if it's worth the -4 to do it right now.
