    I can't remember how the price changes work. I have DCL and can sell for 7.6M (current value 8M). If he drops 0.1M this evening how do I know whether he'll drop 0.1M in my selling price again?

    Owning Grealish is becoming a bit of a pain

    Yeah tempted to move him on instead of Targett if Rashford shows anything tomorrow

    11 blanks out of last 14 players. Joke.

    Change the look on the transfer page to list view (instead of pitch view).
    You'll be able to see your purchase price and sale price.

    Depends how much you bought him for. If you paid 7.2 for him and he goes down to 7.9 then your resale will drop to 7.5.

    For every .2 that his price rises since buying you get .1 added to the price you paid.

    Thanks chaps. I bought for 7.2M so I would lose value alright, will have to make a decision this evening.

    “Ain’t nobody
    Like El Gazhi...”

    5 in 5. Owned by 1.9%.

    And no, I’m not one of them.

    I am one! (for the last 2 gameweeks for Grealish) For once a move that I don’t regret!

    Grealish has 36 points in the 8 gameweeks since El Ghazi has featured.

    It is definitely a worthy discussion given the price difference and the points difference

    May have a DGW in 19 yet. Fixtures starting to pile up now.

    He may or may not drop tonight, very tight.

    If you'd any lee-way I'd hold, fixtures ain't too bad once tonight's game was off.

    Statement from Everton:

    "Everton Football Club regret the postponement of tonight’s match against Manchester City - not only for the 2,000 fans who would have been attending, but for supporters on Merseyside and across the world.

    Our players were prepared for the game, as were both the team staff and everyone at Goodison. Matchday is the most important date in our calendar. And this was a big one.

    Whilst Everton will always have public safety uppermost, we will be requesting full disclosure of all the information that Manchester City provided to the Premier League so the Club can be clear on why this decision was taken."

    Don't sound happy...

    Grealish handing him penalties has helped his cause a lot

    But doesn't that even make it more of a discussion? Wasn't Watkins on Pens before?

    If you have a transfer to burn then yes.

    But Villa are good this year and will always score. I have Grealish and want Watkins, both will play every week. El Ghazi is one bad game away from being dropped.

    Watkins blanked 5 weeks running before his triple assist the other day. Bamford and Wilson better options I think.

    I just feel he will click at some stage, have Bamford and DCL. If I go for a third striker i would go Watkins over Adama/Wilson.

    In any case Grealish will outscore ElGhazi to seasons end, he might not over next 5 games.

    But that doesn't make him a better option right now. Then you're getting into 'season keeper' discussions

    Difficulty I find with Grealish is due to his price he has to start. With El Ghazi you can bench him because of his price and wouldn't feel as bad. I was on the wrong end of benching Grealish one time

    Just fiddling around and I could get a team of( Not looking at fixtures or anything just an overall perspective)

    McCarthy
    Taylor Dallas Dier Chillwell Coufal
    El Ghazi Salah KDB Bruno Son
    Wilson Bamford Brewster

    He essentially frees up 2.1M with similar returns and a decent bench option although could always get Soucek then to free up more funds etc.

    Agree, that's why it's if you can spare the transfer, it's not a bad move. I think you will want Grealish back in at some stage, especially with at least two doubles.

    Trez and barkley back soon so el ghazi despite his recent and very unexpected good form is not someone for the long term. Fighting it out with Trez and traroe for final wide spot imo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Just FYI. I've no intention of getting him in btw someposted they made the move 2 weeks ago which was probably the time to do it.

    Think we all missed the bandwagon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,679 ✭✭✭elefant


    Grealish costs approx. 7.0m to 7.5m, for those that got in anyway early, and is up there with the best players in the league, for a team that is 6 points from top with a game in hand. He walks all over every single team he comes up against.

    Nobody is better value at that price. I hope everyone sells him.

    I think Barkley will be the fella to get when fit. Plus will probably get pens as well.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Twitter in full panic with rumours today. None that I have found with legit reason

    Not posting to scaremonger more so that I don't believe any viable source has claimed that 'Son, Kane & Bamford' are all set to be ''rested''

    With any of these rumours and if they are true, I think we'll have to look at the bigger picture.

    This gameweek will be a clusterfúck for the vast majority of us, some will get lucky but I think overall it'll be a low scoring gameweek and we'll all be in the same boat.

    Can't imagine we'll lost too much ground.

    Aye, I'm hoping a sneaky Son rest and he's the obvious transfer for me to go KDB - Son!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,293 ✭✭✭-=al=-


    Yea exactly. It should even out of a few of the big guns are rested, especially Son. Son in for KdB was a popular this week

    Everyone’s probably gona end up in the same boat


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,807 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    Moura, Vinicius and Bale aren't available so you'd expect one of Son or Bale to start

    Bale is some man if he can start while not available.

    Those who are lucky, could make up massive ground by fluke.

    If he is I will be driven demented.

    I kept Sterling and KDB thinking City getting in gear a bit.
    So I got rid of Zaha and Grealish - for Son and Soucek

    Captained Son! If he does not play at all at least I have Salah VC. If he gets a 1 point cameo I am fecked altogether. Will only have 9 players plus Brewster will be lucky to hit 20!

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.
