Gameweek 6 - Transfer Thread

COH

2FT...

Kane out being one of them

callaway92

Gonna see how the second half goes for Spurs and how Bournemouth to tomorrow, but very likely it'll be Kane to Callum Wilson and then eventually Ceballos to Son

c.p.w.g.w

Thinking of

In- Son
Out - Martial

Also have another FT was thinking Tammy or a premium defender. I have 2 million in the bank after the son/Martial switch

eagle eye

Pending on performances in the City/Norwich game. Gotta get Abraham so Pukki or Wesley out depending on which midfielder I'm dropping. I've two ft's and considering a -4 to get aboard the Son, Mane and Abraham bandwagons.

gammygils

I think Pool defs out until Alison returns. Too expensive for fook all points.
Might use my savings to get Tammy in

COH

Kane > Abraham locked in... his price is gonna shoot up now

Second free transfer can either do McGinn to Son or Mount to KDB. Any opinions on the second transfer?

Shedite27

Very tempted to wildcard

thunderdog

Looking at Vardy and Jota to Abraham and Barnes

Kane to Abraham done now as well. Hoping he was not taken off for anything serious. 4.1mill in the bank now to make some upgrade next week when next free transfer is available.

Very unlucky to not get a CS today. 9 times out of 10 that shot would have ended up in the stand apart from that newcastle had a half chance in the second half and no other shots on target.

So I lost 2 clean sheets to 2 shots
Ryan and Robertson
Sums up my season so far

These things happen and it's the unlucky week but Liverpool have played five games now and have one clean sheet. That averages out at 7/8 clean sheets for a season which isn't enough with the prices you are paying for their players.

normanoffside

Kane to Pukki I Think.

Upgrade either Dendoncker or greenwood with the change.

Need to get rid of either VVD or Robertson but it's not priority.

What about krafts chance he should have scored?

Also there was an offside called that wasnt off with Newcastle player clear through?

They were 2 very obvious other possible goals.

Ace2007

Have 2 FT, will see how bad Abraham injury is, other than that might bring in Tomori - cheap and Chelsea have a good run of game coming up after Liverpool, could also maybe get Cantwell.

nullObjects

Abraham and Mane look to have already hit the target for a price rise

extra gravy

Fear Sterling getting rested and Aguero running riot against Watford. Can swap them for a -4 but I feel that might be a bit kneejerk.

Was that the one where robertson got out to him and he put it over the bar. That's what I was classing a half chance. Expected goals has newcastle at 0.29 today that's what I would have felt watching the game.

Wildcarded during the international break

Think I'm taking a -8 this week to try and fix my wildcard team

Wonder if Aurier is likely to keep his place now that he's back?
Not a bad price if he does.

Spurs fan here...depends if he decides to be an idiot in training and with the press. Poch knows he is a great player but he switches off and isn't the model pro.... Two things Poch absolutely hates.

The right back slot is a mystery for spurs (walker-peters + foyth in contention) I would avoid unless you have a good bench that will slot in as and when if you go for aurier

Anyone know what the craic with him is? I can see he was on loan at Derby with Lampard last season, even won their player of the year. Is he covering for someone at the moment? Looks like they've gone 3 at the back and he's ahead of Zouma. If they happened to go back to 4 would it be Christensen and Rudiger again? Or is Azpil just covering an injury at RB?

Trimm Trabb

Will be getting rid of Martial.

If Siggy drops 0.1 I'll be able to afford him - you'd expect him to start scoring soon and fixtures remain good. Ceballos the other consideration. Will be scouting heavily tomorrow.

I doubt he'd make it into a 2 man job. Though if Lampard prefers players closest to him then who knows. He'd be vulnerable either way. That's Azpi's spot out right.

Dunno but at 4.5m even if he loses his place not that big of an issue to sit on the bench until a good time to ship him out.

Not if you are relying on a budget 4-4.5 defence. He might be one of your only 3 on any given week.

There are probably around 20 playing defenders in that range though so if you have gone the budget route, you should have at least 3 playing each week.

Pete_Cavan

Before today, I was thinking I might switch KDB to Pepe to cover Arsenal for their good run of fixtures. Son very much in the reckoning now after today.

Thoughts on Tammy and Richarlison in for Kane and Dendonker - no hit

Front three would be Pukki/Tammy/Barnes

May just go with Abraham for now and see how Everton go but there’s potential for a few hauls there over the coming weeks I’d say

More chance of aguero being rested with Jesus back now imo no natural cover for sterling

Yes.

KdB out but bringing in Aguero. Madness? It'd be King+KdB out, Aguero and 6.6 (maybe Lamela/James) in. Have 2FTs.

Trey13

I wouldn’t be dropping KDB anytime soon. I can’t see Pep rotating KDB or Sterling much now.

Just to note, I'm not making this transfer based on him being benched today. It'll be a long time before he's rested again I'm guessing! And I expect him to score well but I just think Aguero is a better option up top and is in great form. Plus I want rid of King badly! I might do this. Saves me WC'ing too.

Wait 'till Thursday.

No, but for the sake of a price rise with CL midweek it's a risky single transfer.

Don’t think so, I expect them to score at a reasonably similar rate so if you can do something with the million I’d say go for it

I am looking at my team and again it looks fine. Robertson away to Chelsea and AWB away to west ham not ideal. But the possible replacements for AWB have poor fixtures as well. so then I start looking at midfield. All fine. Barnes and Aguero fine. Ryan is annoying me but will stick with him until WC
So I defo can not justify a wildcard . But now I am struggling to find a transfer. And if I bank then I am putting wildcard off again..........

Even thinking about the WC.......Cantwell is currently my 5th mid with Greenwood now well and truly fodder.
If I was to move to a 343 I would have to decide whether to bring in someone like Hayden to be fodder and play Cantwell as my 4th mid every week OR risk benching him some weeks and they have decent fixtures. So I will probably hold off another few weeks yet.............

So I will prob bank this week barring injuries unless I downgrade AWB to Lowton or someone like that. I like City's fixtures but I do not like their defence without Laporte

I agree liverpool were very comfortable and the first goal was a 1 in 20 shot that goes in.

But not sure how they come up with 0.29xg when that Kraft chance was one I'd expect him to take 1 out of 2 (maybe 3).

Also clearly doesn't take account of the offside where vvd had the newcastle player on and he was clear through. Lino had a mare.

xG is useful but see Tammy with 7 goals in 3 games with a 2.4xG. It's not everything and clearly has limitations.

No doubt it's a useful long term metric but you need to know its issues.

Live when I use fpl review/team planner and it gave me 60 odd points for next 3/4weeks and there were 2 weeks I scored in the 30s.

What would it take from King today to make you keep him? I'm in the same situation and am sick of the sight of him but were he to return today......

Not sure where you're seeing 0.29 as Newcastle's xG yesterday

Their xG was 0.84




Krafht's chance was xG 0.34, so that in itself is higher than the full match one you've seen.

Mr.Nice Guy

Understat has Newcastle with 0.29 xG.

Another blank and sub for siggy
If he looks like dropping I might drop the WC !!!!
I think I’m limping along now and need to change things up
Off to see if Auba can convince me to tear things up and start again

That’s incorrect.

We work closely with Opta so I must look at their data to see if they have less shots than us or something.

Of course it doesn’t make sense to have their xG that low when Krafth’s chance was such a high % chance
