Gameweek 26 DGW Transfer Thread

NabyLadistheman

So we’ve a double gameweek which people could not prepare properly for as the fixtures were not announced until after the previous GW deadline, surely a first for FPL!

Despite this plenty wildcarded with a view to bench boosting. My conundrum is as follows:

I have Salah, Sterling, Gund, Bruno & Raphina. One of my three premiums needs downgrading, probably to Barnes so that I can upgrade Antonio to Kane, who I intend to TC.

In my mind I had decided Bruno out but the man will absolutely kill me in rank if I sell. He keeps returning and it’s actually senseless for me to get rid.

So that leaves me with Mo/Sterling. I don’t care what anybody says but selling Salah before Sheff United away, Chelsea & Fulham at home does not seem like the move to be making. I know what people will say but the more people that sell the better because having Mo as differential is a good position to be in. That leaves Sterling who I think the axe will fall on. I just feel Pep is going to rotate and it’s risky business especially as I have Gundog already. But selling Sterling before 2 home games in a gameweek doesn’t seem right either!!

Bruno/Salah could go and score 2/3 goals a game or get soft penalties - Sterling doesn't give this - despite all his chances this season, he has never scored more than 1 goal in a game in the league. Yes he could go mad and score bucket load in next two games, but equally he could be benched. Bruno/Salah aren't getting benched. So if your set on selling I think it has to be Sterling.

However having said all that, I don't see why your set on Kane as TC. Burnley aren't a team leaking goals, in fact they seem to remembered how to defend in last few games. Equally Fulham have 3 CS in last 4 games, they have given themselves a great shot of staying up - so Parker will want to ensure that they don't get hammer as goal difference could be big come end of season.

Grealish out for Barnes.

Looking at -8 then Bamford & Mee to Kane & fodder, only going with this if captaining Kane

gammygils

Grealish is a quandary alright. What to do? £0.5 itb. Barnes seems to be the best option

dr.kenneth noisewater

worth -8 to use BB? Will likely sell Grealish/Holding anyways and then could get MArtinez in as my 2nd playing GK for -8.

SameOleJay

McCarthy, Grealish, Bamford to Martinez, Elneni (sp), Kane. Will have to act quick, it loves nothing in the bank.

FH in 29 so not concerned losing Leeds players.

extra gravy

Pope and Mee on bench this week. Fixtures aren't great but would love to get rid of bb so I don't have to waste money on bench when I wc. Coufal and Brewster being the other two subs isn't ideal though and I'd rather focus my transfers on first XI.

How Soon Is Now

Atm im thinking Antonio to Calvert Lewin once again! That will leave me with ten doubles starting.

I'll decide after the next two games.

sheroman01

Is getting rid of Sterling, in order to strengthen my team for BB, madness?

My plan would be below, for -8:

Sterling > Barnes
Brewster > DCL
Coufal > Dias

Gives me 11 DGWr's (12 if Mitchel plays). Plus my other two single GW players are Dallas and Bamford who I'm happy to keep and play.

alchemist33

Grealish to Son or a Leicester mid. Problem with the latter is going backwards for 29 though

Muahahaha

Never thought Id say this but Is anyone considering Jesse Lingard? He's in great form, 3 goals and an assist in his four games for West Ham, 34 points total. They've Man City next but after that he might be worth a look

No it's exactly what I'm planning. I think he'll be rotated and while he's returning consistently he's not putting up scores that will punish you. You're getting Dias in as further City cover and he's got a better chance of starting all 4 og the doubles, or surely at least 3. Funds are tight now (especially for those of us planning to use the BB) and with City rotating a lot i do think the likes of Foden or an extra defender represent better value over the two doubles than Sterling.


Fwiw I'm likely to do:

Sterling, Brewster, Coufal out for Barnes, Kane and Konsa.

So similar plan to you.

extra gravy

Didn't want to resurrect the wildcard thread. Just doing a few drafts and considering bb in 27

Martinez
Digne Pereira Dias
Bruno Salah Barnes Gundo
Kane DCL Watkins

McCarthy Dgwk 27
Pereira Newc (H)
Konsa Wolves (H)
Rudiger Everton (H)

Any thoughts? Not sure about holding on to the wc much longer. Have FH so will likely use it in 29. Only issue would be not being able to use tc this week or next.

ThunbergsAreGo

Grealish to Barnes
Ings to Kane

-4

Debating a BB with Raphina, Bamford, Dallas and McCarthy, though seems a bad idea. Just want rid of it at this stage

After Man City they’ve Leeds but then Man United and Arsenal. He arrived on the wrong side of those fixtures for FPL purposes.

macraignil

Gone for Soucek out for Bertrand Traore of Aston Villa. He looked to be fairly attacking when I've seen him play and just scored last weekend. He has Leeds and Sheffield to play this week and he's also another player with a game in 29 so I will probably hold him until then anyway. Soucek makes way because of having some tough fixtures. Only two in my squad now with just the one game this week but one of the double game week players is Mitchell who is being rotated a lot so I think the move gets me a better chance of having 11 with two games.

Shedite27

Had set for a -8 BB with Aina and Mee as my only DGW players on the bench (with Bamford and Meslier), so have reevaluated and gone for the Wildcard and will BB later.

Martinez (Meslier)
Digne Cancelo Regulion (Aina, Dallas)
KDB Son Bruno Gundog Son
DCL Watkins (Bamford)

Even typing it out it sounds a bit bland, but it's 11 with tasty DGW fixtures, 7 with games in 29, and a decent squad to BB in GW30 if I make it that far. 1m left in the bank too for Grealish to come back in for Barnes if needed.

Do you have a bit too much Son in that team?

Yeah I've the two Pereiras! Would be tempted to play the West Brom one ahead of Watkins this week if Grealish is out. Just to have a bit of a differential. Kane over Son and Salah over KDB are the main differences I think but I'd probably do Salah to KDB in 27 depending on how he gets on in the double.

Muahahaha

yeah and maybe Lingard isnt allowed to play v United given they loaned him to West Ham?

His fixtures do turn a bit alright which is a pity given his blistering form, which no one would have predicted. Ive a feeling he will outscore Ollie Watkins who I own but will leave it a few weeks at least before considering moving.

Not 100% convinced he will start both games. I love Trezeguet on the right. The only thing though is that he might play on the left if they decide not to play El Ghazi there.

Hoping his recent goal will help Traore get to play more but I suppose it is a risk alright. Did not see much from Trezeguet when he came on in the last game to make me think he would push Traore out of the starting team but I suppose he is more of an established player at the club. I liked the work rate and ability to keep the ball that Traore showed and he was the furthest forward Villa player at times so I'm thinking he's worth a run in my squad anyway.

Trezeguet is poor on the left, but very solid on the right (much less of a FPL option than Traore) and makes me feel more comfortable about having Elmohamady at RB. Traore not so worried about what is going on behind him which is obviously the reason you want him in the first place. I see him being on some more set pieces now with Grealish out though so swings and roundabouts etc.

On -8. Tempted to hold on to my Wildcard.
Martinez
Dias, Cancelo,Mee,Shaw
Raphina, Salah, Bruno,
Bamford, Kane, DCL
Forster, Ayling, JWP, Grealish
9DGW could treble captain Bruno or Kane.

bmorrissey

Would have planned to remove Dallas for a DGW defender, but with Grealish gone im gonna move him for Son, still giving me 11 DGW players, but would rather have mee on the bench, still, not taking a -4 hit on it.

Martinez
Stones - Dias - AWB - Mee
Son - Maddison - Salah - Gundogan - Bruno
Watkins

Areola - Bamford - Dallas - Antonio

I’ve done a very rare thing and done my transfers early to avoid being priced out of them (I would be, not really much maybe about it).

I’ve done very well out of my ultra safe approach so naturally I am bricking it that news is going to destroy everything and I’ll have to wildcard.

Jim Gazebo

BB is my plan.
Small issues I have are serious value in bamford and Cresswell. I really want to be sure that I don't want them back if I sell as I won't be able to afford it easily.

Initial plan though, was cresswell and Dallas to maybe Shaw and Pereira / cheap defender doubling. And do Ings to Kane or DCL. I just can't decide between them. My gut says kane may struggle in these 2 games where as DCL has looked good. But will DCL play.

Then grealish got injured. So now it is going to be Dallas or cresswell out for Shaw, grealish to someone a small bit cheaper or else upgrade to Son and Ings to either DCL or Kane.

Anyone any other thoughs? I am hoping to wait till later in week to do it. It would leave me with a bench boost of McCarthy, cresswell, bamford and probably Shaw. Not ideal but with 12 doublers it's my best chance.

Ace2007

One positive thing about Leicester drawing 0-0 in the first game is that if Maddison is anyway fit he'll play some part in that game, which will help us who have him decide what to do.

If he's fit and based on his form, i don't see much sense transferring him out - even for Son, and especially if involves a hit.

Do you prefer him to Barnes? I have Barnes in wc team currently but do like Maddison too. He always seems to pick up niggly injuries though.

SheldonC17

Martinez (Johnstone)

Stones, Lowton, Bailey (Mitchell, Coufal)
Bruno Rashford Gundog Son Raphinha
DCL Watkins (A Barnes)

What do to with this team? Had previously planned Rashford to Barnes and A Barnes to Kane but doubting that now. 3.2m ITB

Back line and A Barnes the main issues

I've had Maddison for weeks now, it's not really preferring one over the other - it's just a waste of transfer to move to the other. Maddison is on more dead ball situations. All in all i think it's really a coin flip as to who to go for when both fit.

It would make very little sense for me to use a FT to move to Barnes if both are fit.

JPup

For people holding on to the wildcard, is there a clear week to use it in the future or is it more wait and see how things develop?

I was originally going to use it this week but I'm happy enough with my team so might as well hold off I think. Maybe gameweek 30 during the international break is my latest thought. Set up for the run in then with an eye on form and injuries at that stage.

touts

I'm doing Justin (I know but I had other priorities in the last couple of weeks and didn't want the hit) to someone. I've got Grealish and will wait until later in the week to see how he is. If he is confirmed out then I'll take a hit for Barnes. That would give me 11 DGW players starting

That will leave me with McCarthy, Bamford, Dallas and Ings on my bench. I'm holding my wildcard as there is still too long to go in the season and I think I'll play it around 30/31 to set up for the run in. But I think I might bench boost as those 4 should all play AND when else am I going to play it. Plus getting rid of it means I can probably downgrade a defender to someone like Mitchell and still have two playing outfield subs to cover for Covid etc. Up to now I've not done that because the temptation of the BB

I was 99% sure I'd play WC. But now from the wise advise above I'm thinking of using the 2FT's to
A. Mee to Targett (or similiar) & Ings or Antonio to DCL (4-5-1)
B. Ings to DCL & Antonio to Watkins (3-5-2) - if Grelish is back.

If I was to WC I'd change Mendy, Salah, Son, Ings, Antonio.
I want Kane in but as suggested risky week for the TC on him?

Stick and use TC or WC?

Thinking of the below for a -4...
Grealish & Antonio -> Lookman & Kane
Grealish & Antonio -> Son & Watkins

Any thoughts on the better option? Spurs could be a trap but just don’t want to get caught out without either Son or Kane

The first one for me. Grealish is a huge loss for Villa and they are not the same team without him so chances could be few and far between for Watkins.

I also think Lookman is one of the better differential picks this GW and very good value for 5m.

Burnley don't really concede and Fulham are turning a corner. Is kane or son smart?

Guessing you’re not intending to BB right?

thefa

What kind of hit value do people give a wildcard?

I can take a -8 and have 10 DGW players or go down the route of a wildcard but only need two transfers above the hit to bring me to 11 DGW and avoid having to make a transfer next week. Free hit already used.

JPup

but1er wrote: »

I think as a Son owner you’d feel unlucky if he played less than 180 mins. As a KDB owner you’d be lucky if he played more than 120 mins.

So think of it as a 50% extra free deal!

Same goes for a lot of City players in my opinion. Pep will be targeting the Champions league and derby matches. These two home games squeezed in between are ripe for rotation.

No point wildcarding with 10 doubles. Assuming FH in 29, id personally look at Ings to DCL for sure. Not much point though until Thursdays fixtures are over, 1 pulled hammy for a heavily owned player and the whole equation changes.
