GW 15 transfer thread

Really tempted on an in form Bobby

Porthallian

Really need to get Bruno in but no idea how to. Also my defence is in tatters so no idea what to do with my 2FTs.

Martinez (Forster)
Chilwell Coufal Dias (Kilman N. Williams)
Salah KdB Son Grealish (Jones)
Vardy DCL Wilson

A) DCL/Grealish/Chilwell to Welbeck/Bruno/4.4m def.
Wilson/Son/Chilwell to Adams/Bruno/4.6m def
C) Vardy/Grealish to Bruno/Bamford.

Don't really want to downgrade Vardy or even Son. But option A leaves the same issues in defence. Should I abandon the Bruno idea and just shore up the defence?

Jim Gazebo

Will likely go Wilson to Reid and grealish to son.

ShagNastii

Think I might bring in Jonny Stones.

Nobody nailed on for Pep but he has put in a few great displays.

This also is dependent on when I bother to look at DGW stuff. Probably tonight.

Are you certain on keeping KDB? I sold him this week for Son to have a midfield of Salah, Bruno, Son and Grealish. Will most likely be punished by KDB at some stage but I really don't like how city are playing and the lack of goals compared to the last 2/3 seasons.

You should have some change left over to do Kilman or Williams to someone like C Taylor/Dallas.

KdB should of had 3 assists v Brom & 2 v Soton but for shocking finishing.

Just like Liverpool & United who have hauled.. City have one coming & it’ll be either next week at home to Newcastle or DGW19 home to Palace when nobody has him!

Saying that his funds could be used greatly else where

Definitely food for thought, I'd be watching City v Newcastle on Boxing day from behind the Christmas tree with no City attackers. Feel like a cricket score is incoming. But then again do I continue getting punished by Bruno or get punished once by KdB?

Vardy can go missing in a lot of games, and relies on penalties for returns, so selling him for funds will make sense. See how Grealish gets on today.

I know I’m gonna have the fear with him now.
But the way this season is there’s someone you don’t have hauling every week

I’m definitely holding him for Newcastle. I have Bruno & Salah already.

The other city attacker I have is Mahrez, I’ve been punished last 2 weeks by him & contemplating getting rid to fund Telles to Trent for a -4. I’m really tempted to hold one more week (v Newcastle). But then I’m stuck with no Trent for West Brom at home.

What’s your plans with your WC? I actually don’t overly need it. Should have used it earlier in the season.

I'll make 4 or 5 changes, none of them especially important. Yet to decide approach for dgws.

I should have played the wildcard week 3. A good season could be great had I not been so stubborn.

Gonna have to reluctantly go this route I think. Vardy has served me well. But I don't want to downgrade KdB or Son. If Grealish blanks he's gone too.

Then it'll be a toss-up between Bamford and Adams as a replacement.

Thinking of doing Lamptey to Justin since Leceister have a DGW in GW 19 and Lamptey is just way too much of an injury liability at this stage

You'd have to think Perreira and Castagne will be back by the DGW

Muahahaha

Have to get Salah back in and not sell him again this season which likely means KdB out. Still deciding what to do with Zaha, he blows hot and cold but not seeing many better options out there if Grealish is off form.

You'd have to think it'd be incredibly unjustified to drop Justin for Perreira, given the form he's in.

Perreira was being linked with Barelona before he did his ACL. Justin's done well but Perreira is a different level

Finally lost patience with Ollie Watkins. Incredibly unlucky run, Missed a penalty and had a gola VAR'd by a nosehair against WH, costing him 13 points that night. Lost peanlty duties as a result, El Ghazi has scored the 2 since he took over (probably another 12/14 points), and tonight another goal VAR'd by an armpit (another 4/5 points).

Could have had 34 points in 4 games, actually got 5 points.

Fixtures turning nasty now, and no DGW. He's on the chopping board this week.

I rage transferred him out after that penalty miss. Just got him in for a hit. I’ve been very lucky not to be punished for it and I got Adams in too who scored some points

sheroman01

2FTs

Would still like Kane from GW16 for his nice run. Means Lewis to 3.9m, or Lamptey to 4.3m...and Vardy to Kane.

If Vardy is fit, then I'd like to keep him against United. If he's not, then I could do a one game punt on Firmino and do Kane the week after.

macraignil

Getting rid of Jota for Anguissa last week has given me some funds now to upgrade the low points scorers from my bench to allow a Bench Boost chip soon. Brewster out for DCL done. Sub 5.2 mill defender most likely target for next week's transfer.

Leinster90

Just leveraged the mortgage to get Salah in as I couldnt face dropping any of my other players. I had 2 FTs and over 2m in the bank(for one week only, was waiting to make big moves).

Out: Patricio, Chilwell, Zaha
In: McCarthy, Alioski, Salah

Team is now:

McCarthy(Forster)

Alioski, Lamptey, KWP (Mitchell, Bernardo)

Fernandes, Grealish, Son, Salah (Soucek)

Kane, DCL, Bamford

Am thinking of shipping Lamptey out for Coufal next week as Lamptey has been injured. Would appreciate any feedback/tips on my next move.

Time to say goodbye to Olly. He’s been unlucky really. Who to though.

You gotta keep one more week really. We've just had a team xG of 2.82, scored 3 goals and face a team who just had 7 put past them next.

Had to get Salah in so did Lamptey, Kane, Eze to Salah, Coufal,Davis. Happy with my midfield of Salah, Son, KDB, Bruno and Grealish.

That defence is asking for trouble over Christmas really, rotation is gonna kill you, anywhere you can get another starter?

Klonker

Have 2FT and currently planning Cancelo and Grealish to Robertson and Klich but I'll wait on it. Would like to keep Grealish another week if possible and sell Watkins instead but not sure I'll manage to.

Decent ceilings but generally unreliable in different ways

There's a good chance of Stones not playing the Newcastle game. Pep likes to rotate for the easy home games especially with Everton away a couple of days later.
