Anyone think a straight swap Mendy for Delph is decent business?

Been busy at work so catching up now. How many players am I down lads?

Only have one transfer.

If I'm right it's potentially three, definitely one:

- Mendy seems 100% out, but nobody knows what the hell is up with him
- Pedro got a knock in the CL, but posted on Twitter that he's fine - questionable
- Arnie came off last week with a knock, but people seem optimistic about his chances

Aguero got a knock last weekend but his substitute appearance against Lyon seems to have quashed any worries there.

Salah to Manè, Pedro to Ramsey, and Kamara to Mitrovic for - 4. Don't burn me, Aaron.

My plan was to hold my transfer and I think I might still do that. I can still field:

Foster
AWB, Shaw, Alonso, Robertson
Salah, Pedro, Fraser
Augero, Arnie, Fun Bobby
Subs: Speroni, Walcott, Mendy, Gunnarasson

So I still have Walcott to cover Pedro or Arnie missing out.

That would be a hell no

Going to do Cedric to Alonso with my little fund I had. Means keeping Mendy at the expense of an assured 11 starters but not in the mood for squeezing guys in just to score 2 points.

Redo91

Had Mendy from 6.0 so wondering should I be getting rid of him with the injury. Have .3 in the bank but still don’t want to be taking a hit to get him back.

I'm the same. He's 6.5 now so even if he drops tonight we can still sell for the same price tomorrow.

If you have him at 6ml you can afford one drop and based on all evidence so far this season he won’t or shouldn’t drop by more than 0.2 next week
And who knows he could even be back if his driving sorry his knee/ankle/leg improves .....

If you're willing to even lose 0.1 profit on him he'd have to drop 4 times total to hurt you twice. Worth waiting.

With mendy injured, ings ineligible, Pedro doubtful and gunnarson an absolute disaster since day 1 I may not field 11 so taking a hit to rid myself of gunnarson.
Getting hojberg in for him should only really be a -2 in this scenario and I’ll save myself another price decrease on gunnarson & although hojberg has a bad fixture this week at least I’ll have a playing 5th mid for first time this season.

Look at hojbergs minutes
He was actually in my early season drafts as fodder but there was too much uncertainty over his starts so I too went with Gunnarsson

Taxuser1

Mendy - Shaw
Hojberg - Richarlinson

For a -8 ?

Seems overkill this week?

I can't do a straight Mendy - Alonso swap, and with Pedro possibly out and not liking Hart as my main keeper, i might use my wildcard this week (only have one FT), after my **** up with it last week. 6 changes in total.

Your starting team this weekend is excellent bar the Pedro doubt
I wouldn’t wildcard

Ward (Cardiff) as a 4.5 mid playing OOP as forward the best bargain basement mid at the moment imo

He’s started the last 3 so hopefully he gets a run now, I’ll be wildcarding after gw7 anyway so can reasses then, I was hoping to hold gunnarson until then and avoid a -4 but with so many injuries & doubtful starters this week it was as good a time as any to get shot of gunnarson after his latest setback. Likely to drop to 4.3 soon too.

I’d agree your team looks solid this week. I’ve brought Hart in on my WC, funny how people view things differently. Admittedly it’s cause I don’t want to double up on defence

Don't think that needs wildcarding. Have you enough to do Peltier to AWB?

Kiith

Grand, i''ll hold onto it so and maybe just swap Pedro.

I would, but only if i didn't swap Pedro. I could take a hit for that, but i'm not sure he'd start.

Mendy and Miky to:

A) Alonso and Maddison
or
Dilva and Laporte

A) for me. Laporte could be rotated and Alonso is almost essential. I like Maddison too.

Cheers, was leaning towards that myself, will leave me with more cash ITB too

Porthallian

Considering Pedro to Maddison.
But is it worth a -4?

+1.


Tbh, the Laporte argument is probably irrelevant. Just go for the one with Alonso. :pac:

mdwexford

Just did Mendy and Auba to Smalling and Lukaku.

I did it earlier. Half regretting it but long term I'm happy.

Pedro looks like starting every 2nd game and while he might still get points from the bench I just can't be dealing with that every week.

Maddison on the other hand looks nailed on at the moment and has a very nice run of fixtures until December

Was actually looking at Smalling as my Mendy replacement. Looks to be the only nailed on defender at Utd. Threat on set pieces, scored last week and we seen many times before defenders go through a hot streak in front of goal. He ain’t to bad on the old bps either when Utd keep cleanies

I am sick of Pedro and his minutes. Replacement needed.

I’m on Ramsey at the moment. Nice fixtures and nice differential.

Fraser could be a nice earner but I’d mostly be buying him to protect my decent start as so many own him.

I currently have no Arsenal or Bournemouth players.

So Ramsey or Fraser ?

Edit - probably should have said it’ll be for my first -4 of the season but I’m getting rid of Pedro

As someone who just did Pedro to Ramsey for -4, you know my answer. Arsenal's next 4 fixtures are superb. Ramsey has scored 6 in his last 4 against Everton, including a hatrick in the corresponding fixture last season. But it could all go up in smoke. You know what you're getting in to when you buy Aaron Ramsey

Yeah. Those fixtures. And the fact he seems to be resting himself for the league. One eye on a big Bosman probably.

It also means I can try and get Giroud as my Chelsea player rather than Lacazette as my Arsenal player.

kweeveen86

With a heavy heart, I finally pulled the trigger on Hazard in for Salah. Mendy's injury paved the way for VVD seeing as I was one Liverpool player down. (Already have Robertson).

Get ready for a hat-trick and two assists for everyone's favourite Egyptian tomorrow! ðŸ˜

jamesbere

Mentioned earlier by someone was bellerin, so decided to bring him in instead of Mendy. Was going to do tripper but bellerin could be a nice one to have if arsenal can manage to pull off some Cs (probably unlikely on form) but worth a risk

I think you're on to a good idea there. I've decided to do the same. Hope it works out for us!

macraignil

Just sold Walcott for Hojbjerg to generate funds primarily for improvements elsewhere. Was going to go Neves to Eriksen using the 4.9mill itb. But any other suggestions would be much appreciated. Currently on:
Ederson, (Begovic),
Mendy, Alonso, Robertson, Pereira, Wan Bissaka,
Hazard, Mane, Hojbjerg, Fraser, Neves,
Aguero, Wilson, Ings

hufpc8w3adnk65

Hamer Foster
Mendy AWB Rico Robertson Bennet
Salah Dilva Pedro Hazard Hojberg
Ings Kun Mitro

With Ings not playing And Bennet and Hojbergs unkind fixtures I think I need to move on Menday and Pedro.
Was looking at Ricky and Shaw and another option is Bellerin and Ricky or third option is Ramsey and Shaw I’ve 12.8 to spend so all suggestions welcome please lads. It will be for a -4

dahat

At some stage yesterday I did Mendy to Shaw for a - 4, odd cos I really can't remember confirming it!!!

Were you drinking yesterday ?

Because if not that’s the stuff of nightmares.

I’m always tinkering with transfers. Always. If that ever happened to me it would ruin all that tinkering fun.

Nope, no beer for me.

I was watching Ozark while tinkering and must have confirmed it then.

Maybe you were just trying to clean your money in the bank and figured if you bought Shaw it’d be your blue cat lodge! No one would suspect anything.

I really don't want to sell Mendy for one GW and then go to the hassle of bringing him back in. ****ing pain in the hole this is

MR NINE

Is it worth selling mendy for a - 4? My subs are Westwood, Stephens and peltier so looking at 2 points max if mendy doesn't play. And the same again next week if he's still out. Reports are conflicting but I'm worried this could drag on with mendy and he misses a few games.

I'm considering Pereira from Leicester for - 4 but trying to figure out if it's worth a hit.

Thanks for this.

I couldn't bring myself to look at my team all week because I knew I'd a shocker last time out after playing my wildcard.

Log in this morning to 2 reds and 2 yellows in my starting team. Luckily I did strengthen my bench so I can field a decent team with Pedro 75% chance to play.

I've already played my free transfer but now seriously considering Ramsey for a -4 too.

Redo91

Got rid of Mendy in the end for Shaw. Figured I’ll be taking a maximum of .1 of a hit which I already have in the bank. Last minute went Patricio (who I brought in earlier in the week) to Ederson as I didn’t like the idea of having a Wolves goalkeeper and Doherty. Will downgrade Ederson to get Mendy back when the time comes.

iroced

Is Walcott + PEA -> Ramsey + Lukaku for -8 completely insane? Or...

I could also just do Lukaku in for -4.

I wouldn’t sell Pea this week. Rambo has 9 points in 5 games also.

As the resident West Ham fan......

WH have a pretty decent record V Chelsea. Local derby so usually a bit of bite. Over the past 3 seasons:
3 West Ham wins
2 Chelsea wins
2 draws

West Ham changed formation last Sunday, moving from 3 at the back and 2 in midfield to 2 at the back and 3 in midfield. Looked a lot more solid.

Hazard has blanked in 5 of 11 gmes V West Ham, scoring 4 goals in those games

Obvious blank
