Gameweek 4 Transfer Thread.

Probably because the Leeds defence looks a bit ropey, 8 goals conceeded in 3 games. For non Ronaldo owners Salah looks like an alright pick this week. Though Lukaku v a depleted Villa defence is attractive as well

I think given Ronaldo's price, and the fact his ownership is already at near 20%, if you bring him in your never selling him, as he's likely to go up 0.1 or 0.2 should he score this weekend, if he was 12.7m for instance - selling and moving to Lukaku leave extra funds, which inevitable you'll re-invest and so moving back to Ronaldo will be hard.

I read somewhere that due to quarantining (?) that he will only have 1 training session with the United team - do we think that it's enough for him to go straight in?

Dr. Bre

I’d say Ron decides if he starts not ole !

Muahahaha

yeah I dunno, that could work out pretty well for me even as a 3 game punt. Hopefully good returns from Ronaldo and then sell at a profit to move to Lukaku for his easy run of fixtures from GW7. United have a tough run 7 to 13 where they play Leicester, Everton, Liverpool, Spurs, City, Watford then Chelsea. After that run United fixtures get really good 14 all the way through to 27 so I would have him back for that run. Ive done alright with team value so far Antoinio & Benrahma especially so reckon I could get a more expensive Ronaldo back without too much trouble, albeit in two transfers. Would hope Lukaku rises simulartaneously to offset Ronaldos gains.

All the above of course is solely based on fixtures because we dont yet truly know the form of teams and players. If Ronaldo goes wild over the 3 games Im thinking of owning him then Id reassess for sure and consider sticking with him through the harder fixtures and then into that really sweet run 14-27.

The main problem for me is Bruno, if he is off penalties and free kicks then for me he is not worth the 12.0. The penalties & frees are part of what values him at that price and if theyre gone his points ceiling has to take a bit of a hit while Ronaldos points ceiling gets boosted. We might even see Brunos price go down while Ronaldos rises, I dont want to get caught in that trap so think I will pull the trigger on Bruno out Ronaldo in for a -4.

As for him going straight in he has to for the marketing value alone as his return to Old Trafford is a global story. Im just hoping its straight, straight back in and not a 60th minute welcome by standing ovation.

Bruno is sort of an odd one price wise - from a players pov if he's not on penalties then he's not worth 12.0m, but yet Mane is basically in that exact situation but is has been priced at 12.0 for two seasons running

Think I’m gonna do Son+Ings to Jota+Lukaku and captain Lukaku. I have 2FTs. I’ll then asses the Ronaldo situation.

Dean Smith has ruled out the South American players who did travel to play the games. I presume all countries are affected here.

https://twitter.com/FFScout/status/1436261642707382350

As of now, the Brazilian players issue is still up in the air.

But to make it even more confusing, Almiron is available even though he didn't travel while being called up.

Even if Ronaldo only comes on in the 60th minute though, he could do alot of damage in a half an hour against that Newcastle defence.

I've brought him in and I'm captaining him. I went for a -4 of Fernandes to Torres and Toney to Ronaldo. I'm disappointed I didn't get Torres in earlier as I've had my eye on him since Pep mentioned possibly using him as a striker last year when he scored a hat trick against Leeds.

AdpRo

Torres started all 3 matches for Spain last week and only got subbed in 1 at the 60th min mark, that's a lot of minutes and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him benched this week.

Sure was it last season he scored a hattrick for Spain, i brought him in, scored 1 goal, was taken off on 60 mins, and then didn't see any action for another 4/5 GW's. Who knows in the world of Pep.

Mr.Prodston

Need a mid for 6.4 that's not Benrahma!

Sarr and Trincao are two options I'm looking at?

Went ahead with this before son was ruled out but I can play klich in his place anyway so not worth a -4 at this stage

Was looking at Trincao, stats look good but Podence is back which could impact minutes so I am leaning to Gray/Sarr.

Luxemburgo

Really hard week to decide, esp with 2 FT, if I could roll I would.

0.1 off Jota Ronaldo for Bruno, Ings

Which means a minus 4, so is it

Jimmi, Allan, Ronaldo

Jota, Ronaldo, Livermento (for Veltman)

Jota, Ronaldo, Torres (for Gundo)

Or a simpler Jimmi for Ings

Decision decisions, and serious Ronaldo fear

Brazilians are cleared to play now.

Have gotten Ronaldo in too and captained him, Bruno the casualty with Perica to Bissouma to enable it. Ole was non commital at the presser if Ronaldo starts or not, only saying that he will get minutes. Just hoping he does start rather than waiting to 60 minutes.

Klonker

Going to bank my FT this week. Would you start Raphinha (Laverpool H) or Duffy (Brentford A)!

Invincible

Start Raph imo

Benimar

Ings to DCL. Going to bank a transfer and hold off on Ronaldo for now.
