GW 5 transfer thread

machiavellianme

An extended tinkering period over the International break.
Probably not much of an opportunity to increase team value but now that teams are bedded in, it might be time to right a few wrongs.
Who is the next bandwagon? James?
All aboard...

blackwave

Kanexit time for me.

bantee

Need to offload Perez but only have 6.8 to spend, no one else jumping out in that bracket and I have Mount already, James is an option too. Short .1 for Zaha

Felipe Anderson?

Anderson is 6.9.

Maybe Adrian for Ryan. Patricio's next 2 games aren't great. Adrian likely to play both?

Will bank the other till closer to the GW. If Siggy doesn't do anything then he could go.

extra gravy

AWB and Rashford out. Horrible wildcard mistakes.

Inspector Coptoor

AWB and Martial out

James and Vestergaard in

Team value 98.3

2.1M in the bank

KathleenGrant

AWB out for me. Anyone not AWB in.

normanoffside

Perez out tonight, probably for Mount or Cantwell

Rikand

-8's aren't working. Think I'll try a -20

COH

Worth a -4 for...

McGinn > Cantwell
Kane > Aguero

machiavellianme

Guess I'll have to lose zinchencko to swap kane for kun. A limit of 3 from city means no space for their defence.

Invincible

Haller in
Jota out

Widdensushi

laporte out the door !!!Not sure who to bring in.

With the lack of patience amongst the general FPL community these days, I wonder will there be an Abraham bandwagon at the expense of Pukki now.

Apart from City next GW and eve(GW13), they have a fairly tasty run where he could do a lot of damage.

For me the difference is that Abraham is around some very experienced players - he has bucket loads of goals in championship. Chelsea will score goals given the team they are.

Will Norwich always score? Do they have the players that will supply Pukki week in week out?
Maybe they will but I don’t think so - time will tell though.

Cypher_sounds

Do I bring Kun in for Vardy this week as I had plannned?

Don’t think I can after that Vardy show.

The real mccoy 91

Foster out for pope. Possibly Ricky too depending how he looks tomorrow.. Actually if he's away with Brazil he will have to go anyone shed any light on this?

One question - Can you afford to let Aguero rise 0.2/0.3 over the international break, and even more in the coming GW's if you choose not to get him? Leicester have United and Liverpool away and spurs at home in 3 of next 4 games. Aguero has Norwich (and their defence :eek::eek::eek::eek:), Watford, Everton and Wolves over the same period. Aguero could outscore Vardy in the Norwich game alone.

I want to hold WC now i think.........King has to go (unless Siggy is dropped tomorrow then I have a bigger problem)
0.5 ITB
So my 2 options seem to be Barnes or Wesley
Not excited by either prospect!!!

Also have Cathcart and Greenwood
Might WC yet if siggy is dropped and just make minimal changes like I did last year
Have to look at fixture swings etc though first

Pighead

Laporte out. Otamendi in.

And awb
Hhhmmmm that’s 4/5 already

Necronomicon

I think it might be wildcard time.

jamesbere

Any suggestions has to who to swap wan bissaka out for 5.6

notdarkyet

Would you take Pukki and Zouma out for Haller and a 4.6 defender, maybe Pieters or Mings for -4?

I would dump Zouma for sure, why do you want to get rid of Pukki and when did you buy him?

notdarkyet

Haller looks good and is likely to increase in price. I got Pukki early so I’ve made a profit

nullObjects

Trying to resist the early transfers...

extra gravy

Martial injury and now Laporte, not having the luckiest of spells. Will be doing Laporte to TAA now so AWB and Rashford will get a reprieve. Won't be wasting a -4 on either of them.

iroced

WC time!

caviardreams

Will Kun be playing for Argentina over the break? Would be worried he might be rested in the next game but it's hard to survive without him.

Barnes look a good to me. Great fixtures and is taking lots of shots, has good xG etc. Was being championed by fpl accounts before season started too for his stats last year.

Have Abraham and Pukki and too many other fires to put out so won’t be getting him.

Will do Laporte to TAA I think. Considering a -4 to upgrade Mane to Salah; can’t cope watching Liverpool matches with Salah’s greed/involvement.

Big words saying it’s an upgrade

Mane has 7 more goals in 2019 than Salah, Salah been on pens too.

Do we think Salah/Mane outscore Aguero/Sterling? Is that where the double up is

I could be wrong here - but Salah is like Aguero has the form and history of scoring 2/3 goals back to back - and can go on runs that would destroy your season if you don’t have him. Mane may get more goals but is he getting 2/3 a game week after week? We see how selfish Salah can be which will hamper Mane.

As you pointed out Salah is on penalties - another good reason to have him.

I don’t think it’s a double up now - I think you have to have 3 of them - and of the 4 you mentioned Mane appears to be the least explosive -

Islander13

Jesus is going to get a fair amount of game time for city. Might be at the expense of Sterling now that Mendy is back with Pep going back to playing two up top and no left winger.

Headscratchers to come. Benefit of Mane/Salah is that they'll always play

Yes I have Salah myself but I’m starting to disagree on the Mane explosiveness. He started to hit big numbers this calendar, started off last season slow. He hit 2 in the Super Cup & possibly should of had 2 yesterday.

He had 2 in the last game of last season when they won 2-0.

Anyway besides that, I’ve looked at the numbers from last season and Salah (259) & Mane (231) outscore Sterling (234) & Aguero (201) by 55 points last season.

Salah / Mane will always play but there will be games where Sterling / Aguero will be rested.

3 of the 4 is needed and for now a double up on City is on but I can easily see this switching to Salah / Mane like towards end of last season... I think it’s only a matter of time before Mane & Salah are scoring in the same games as I don’t think that has happened this season

Salah / Mane will always play but there will be games where Sterling / Aguero will be rested.

Last season Salah/Mane played the equivalent of 12.25 games more than Sterling/Aguero - and yet only got 55 more points? Not great returns. Factor in the KdB was missing for such a large part of last season, and he is an assist machine, shows just how good Sterling/Aguero did - and now that KdB is fit, we are seeing the results - 5 assists already this season - more than he got last season.

Salah and Mane always playing not always a good thing though - higher risk of injury or being burnt out.

Anyone with Mane will always be afraid of what Salah can do given his ownership, where as most people with Salah won't be too afraid of Mane.

Sterling 47%
Salah 43%
KdB 31%
Mane 19%
Aguero 22%

While 5.5 points not be great, without looking into too much detail, assuming Sterling & Aguero played every minute minus the 12.25 games then there avg per game is only 1 better.

Have he done that off minutes played or appearances as Aguero played a lot of 60 minute matches, so 3 of those equates to 2 matches of Mane/Salah time.

While I agree on KdB getting a lot more assists, like we seen yesterday he will more than likely be taking from the other too.

The % you highlight are edging towards my point, Salah / Mane partnership would be a decent differential to go against the grain. It’s risky but overly risky!

GiftofGab

Thinking of doing Callum Wilson and Vardy to Ayew and Aguero for a -4 hit. Good option? It's been a few years since I played, what's the free hit??

Have to get rid of AWB. Have 1.3 itb. Won't make any snap decisions even if he does drop. Have nearly 2 weeks

Wildcard or not, defence is a mess .4m in the bank.
Ryan, Button nice fixtures
VVD, Lundstram doing ok
Coleman not justifying his price
Hanley injured
Rico never going to play
Salah, KDB, Sterling all good
Ceballos/Dedoncker rotation issues
Aguero doing ok
King not justifying his price
Greenwood not making the grade.
Could field
Ryan
VVD,Coleman,Lundstram
Salah, KDB, Sterling, Ceballos, Dedoncker
King, Kun

Just watched West Ham Norwich. Man City could conceivably score 7 or 8 against Norwich. There’s a hole through their defence
