    Did two free transfers earlier this week, but still not sure of 11 playing.

    Martinez
    Digne Rudiger TAA Konsa
    Salah Bruno Lingard Raphinha
    Watkins Iheanacho

    Subs: Areola Phillips Son Kane

    I could do Son to Greenwood I guess for a -4. I haven't been watching any United match for the last while, is there a reason why he is suddenly scoring goals again?

    Bit of a pickle as have 5 city/spurs players, Raphinha and Cresswell.

    Have 2 FTs at least so can do something like Cancelo, Raphinha/Moura and Kane out for TAA, Salah and Iheanacho.

    I'd prefer to move Son over Kane but can't afford Salah then

    Actually instead of above, can do

    Cancelo, Moura,Son out for TAA,Salah and ASM/Ceballos.

    Hes getting a lot more game time since Martials injury. He seems much more involved and is taking on shots pretty much anytime he gets the ball in a good position cutting in from the wing.

    Starting to think it might be mad to go without him... form player in the league right now.

    Son hasn't been lighting it up and taking him out means I'd be a lot more sure of getting 11 players out...

    I think it's either Greenwood for Son or Shaw for Alonso

    The only thing about Son is Spurs are playing Sheffield United and have decent fixtures then after this.


    I plan on getting him out this week and maybe bringing him back than.

    Im thinking of selling Cresswell myself to get Castagne

    A point I just noticed about Castagne is that he played on the right last night and iirc that was where he got his returns from at the start of the season. He seems to play better on the right but if Ricardo starts against Palace he'll be put back on the left again. No doubt he's still a good option but it's just something to consider.

    Yeah I actually don't think I can do that (0 in the bank and the hokey-cokey would cost me 0.1). Plus never a fan of burning transfers this way.

    I think Shaw in for Alonso is the more obvious upgrade. Gives me more playing players moving forward.

    I am a bit worried about Greenwood though, think he could punish me. Superb finisher who is finally getting some game time and getting into good positions, will probably be looking to throw his hat into the ring for the Euros too..

    Any good Alonso replacements?
    Have Shaw Holding Rudiger and Phillips.

    Trent or Castagne. The Wolves lads have been doing well at the back lately as well I'm sorry I didn't jump on one few weeks ago when I considered it!. Have a feeling might even be bit late with them.

    Wolves defender? Saiss, Semedo or Coady look good bets

    Unless anyone has a convincing counter argument....I'm pretty much settled on Kane and Dawson out for Vardy and Holding.

    Will hold Son for next GW, also have Iheanacho so banking on Leicester going all out against on the beach Palace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,576 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Dropped Son and Raphinha for Greenwood and Maddison. For free.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,129 ✭✭✭markc91


    Any word on Cresswell? after taking out Alonso for Castagne bench is now Cresswell,Son & Kane is taking Cresswell out worth a -4?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,275 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Right Jota or Greenwood!?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,129 ✭✭✭markc91

    If I bring him in be for minus four so hopefully it's worth it!

    So you gave him 2 games and then sold him? You must be buying/selling players a lot, if your getting rid of them that quick.

    Decided to take out Phillips and put in Struijk. I would be depending on Son dropping 0.1 to get him back in with 1 transfer. Wouldn't play Phillips next week but have an option on Struijk. Don't like the -4 but it is what it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,275 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Just gonna bring in Salah for Son don't wanna take any hits. So Jota stays for another week if there's no improvement then I'll look at Greenwood or possibly even Maddison.

    Did a kind of left field transfer this week (probably would have banked if there’d been better news on Phillips and Jota).

    Bertrand Traore in for Lucas Moura. That game against Leicester last night they were just being pulverised up that right hand side.

    Bertie has a double followed by an actual gameweek against Palace by the looks of it, and with no Trez for the rest of the season he’s surely got to be nailed.

    Some of the articles out there imply he should be dropped. Let's hope that's not the case for you

    Don’t really understand that article, we don’t have any other fit RWs and only El Ghazi at LW.

    A real absence of who we play there instead of him if Smith decides he wants to drop him. And he was playing him there ahead of Trez too who is actually good so post-Trez injury I don’t even know what a Villa lineup would look like without him in it.
