GW 38 Transfers Thread

loadwire

I have 2 FTs and want to get Sterking (assuming he makes it back from his hols). Could get Ings while I'm at it for a -4 or otherwise will start Soucek which might be a fun punt.

Option 1 (Rash > Solanke, Bruno > Raz) gives me:
Martinez
TAA Doc Aurier (VVD Ngakia)
Mo KDB Mahrez Raz Soucek
Greenwood Jimi (Solanke)

Option 2 (Rash > Ings, VVD > Pieters, Bruno > Raz for a -4) gives me:
Martinez
TAA Doc Aurier (Pieters Ngakia)
Mo KDB Mahrez Raz (Soucek)
Ings Greenwood Jimi

ANy thoughts?

I wonder are City having their 2 day rest now, ready to come back refreshed some-bit and treat Norwich as a warm up game before a hard 10 days training before the CL starts up again.

Yeah sounds like it
Through in Silva’s last appearance and it’s has the feel of a testimonial/pre season friendly
Norwich might even score!

Plus it's Norwichs last premier league match for at least a season.some of them might actually try to make a game of it to get a transfer back to a premier league club.

City with an eye on Champions League match..
Possibility of a shock?

September 2019 and it was 3-2 to Norwich in the smae fixture so maybe a Norwich win over a nothing to play for Man City might not be that much of a shock.


All this talk about Man. City rotation and the fact they will probably be playing it like a training game makes me think I'll bank this weeks free transfer. :pac:

Currently have:

McCarthy
Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Doherty
De Bruyne, Fernandes, Martial, Antonio
Vardy, Kane(c), Greenwood


Not sure who I would want to drop for the last game and options to bring in all look like having a reasonable shot at a one pointer or blank. Aurier might be an option for Doherty but Doherty got 12 points last week and could do similar against that leaky Chelsea defense.

Not sure where you are in relation to leagues etc. but surely you need to have Burnley defensive cover at the very least as a blocker. I am going double Burnley defense to be honest and didn't really give it a second thought.

33/1 for Norwich to win, I agree with you, it's setup for a shock

I'm always shocked when I check my online account and there is no money in it as well.

Man City's ladies team would beat this Norwich team who are a collection of broken men at this stage who just want the season to end. Playing against a selection that alll 11 players will be fighting for a place in the Champions League 11. City will pump them its just a question of which 11 get the go ahead.

COH

26 point lead in my main league and 1FT .. we have 6 of the same players (Fernandes/Martial/Greenwood/TAA/KDB/Vardy) the rest is (mine VS his)

Martinez V Pope
Mane V Salah
Doherty V O'Connel
Saiss V Boly
Ings V Jimenez

Not sure how to play it... I could do Mane > Salah as a blocker but seems kind of boring. A -12 sounds like much more fun to shoehorn in the likes of Antonio/Dilva etc.

Damn it
Charlie Taylor out injured again

Not playing for anything in particular at this stage of the season as it went so poorly from the start. Well clear at the top in a small league with a few friends. I agree Burnley defense is a good option but at the same time I think Brighton have been playing well and would not be fully convinced of a Burnley clean sheet. Thinking my current defenders at least have some chance of attacking returns. Pieters would be an option alright and he did well for me earlier on the season before he lost his place in the team for a while but still fancy my own current defenders to get a goal or an assist.

Think I'm gonna do Vardy to Jesus with my final transfer leaving me with this:

McCarthy(or Martinez)
TAA Maguire Boly
Dilva(C) Foden Salah Bruno
Jesus Auba Rashford

Been a forgettable FPL season but hopefully can finish it on a high note

I think I would sell Foden and keep Vardy tbh

I feel like my final (possibly ever ) transfer should be bringing Siggy in ........

I can see Foden doing damage even if he comes on as a sub. Man U will probably set up defensively as they need a point to guarantee top 4. Alternatively I could do Maguire to Mendy. Just 0.2 in the bank so just enough to do either move.

Not convinced they know how to, their change in fortunes has been all down to the more attacking approach. No doubt it will be a funny game with so much at stake and anything can happen.

Trimm Trabb

Is Mahrez a better option than Dilva if both start?

Is Ings worth a -4 to start ahead of Jimi or Greenwood?

Did Pep say anything about Sterling in the press conference??

Fairly settled on my FH team. But have an option of;

Martial and Kane Or

Son & Aubameyang

1st option means I have no Arsenal players. 2nd option means I have Arsenal and Spurs but only Greenwood for United. 1st option would allow me upgrade Lamptey to Aurier.

AirGuitarist

4 points from top of my mini-league, any advice is welcome!

Dubravka(Leno)
TAA/Walker/Bardsley/VVD(Saiss)
Antonio/Sterling/Bruno(Sarr/Traore)
Jesus/Jimi/Greenwood

Option 1: Pope for Dubravka
Option 2 (-4): Martinez for Dubravka and Lacazette for Jimi
Option 3 (-4): Martinez for Dubravka and Lucas Moura for Traore (dropping Jimi to bench)

Rival team:
Dubravka(Button)
TAA/Doherty/AWB/Kiko/J.Robinson
Fernandes/KDB/Saka/Mahrez/Dilva
Ings/Jimi/Greenwood

I'm on FH. I've good team value but I am 30 points behind in ML. So I won't pick, D Silva, Martial, Rashford, Fernandez. I'm going big up front because I think there is great cheap options in the back (I would love to have TAA though)

My proposed team is

Martinez

Bardsley, Pieters, Williams, Branthwaite, 3.9...

Salah, Sterling, Mahrez, Pulisic/Antonio, Guendouzi

Kane, Abu, Jesus.

A. If I keep Antonio over Pulisic or put in Mane over Salah I save 0.3m to upgrade my 3.9 defender to a 4.2 defender.
B. Mahrez is also a worry? Will he start?

Have I gone to big on attack?

Brian201888

Need Burnley cover, given I don't have Pope nor really want to use a transfer on him as I've Martinez against Watford.

Tarkowski is the best option there yeah? Money not an issue

Even at walking pace city are probably too good for the last few weeks norwhich team.

Dilva will want to score most likely, Debryune will want at least 2 assists for the Premier league record, he is also 2 of joint first in the big leagues this season and 3 would take him top

Guendouzi hasn't been part of the matchday squad for weeks never mind first 11, I appreciate he is an enabler for you but its very risky to have a weak bench in this particular GW.

Personally I would downgrade Jesus to Greenwood and upgrade Guendouzi and the defence.

M and K I think.
Could bite but motivation/something to play for is the big factor for me. Palace are on the beach and have injuries. Goal difference a factor in relegation battle even if Bournemouth go ahead.

I would not get hung up on a GK change especially involving a hit.
TAA/VVD to fodder or Sarr/Traore to Guendozi could allow a big hitter for a hit perhaps.

Don't worry about your 3,9M man.
Martinez and 2 of Long/Pieters/Bard are solid and popular for saving budget.
Abu out (say) brings Laporte/Aurier/TAA/Digne etc into the picture.

Only Pep knows. Mahrez has had reduced minutes. I'll be looking for early lineup info but it's going to be mental!

What's better:
Silva (v NOR) and Greenwood (v lei)
Foden (v NOR) and Richarlison (v BOU)

The first one

I'm assuming there will be leaked team news before the deadline on Sunday so I guess I'll hold off doing transfers until then
