GW5 Transfer thread, deadline Tuesday 6pm

Muahahaha

Quick turnaround this week so Ive already done Mount to Diaz to catch his price rise last night. I wasnt risking losing any more than the 0.2m Mount had already dropped. Diaz is looking good lately since his long range goal v Palace. if he doesnt work out think I might can the £8m mid position altogether as I dont like the Kulu/Richarlison situation

nice bit of green

Ward out for Sànchez. 3 weeks too late.

Mr Crispy

Want rid of Mount myself, but will only have 7.9 to play with.

I did the same. Thought about Mendy but FFS had an article that most of the top players have Sanchez.

Anyone looking to activate the first wildcard for this gameweek. I've had a really bad start to the season so need to reshape my team asap.

Has anyone any good suggestions for a wildcard team this week?

What's your current team?

Med101007

Gk's - Ramsdale, Ward

Def's - TAA, Cancelo, James, Zinchenko, Williams

Mid's - Salah, Mount, Neto, Gross, Pereira

For's - Haaland, Jesus, Archer

You don't need to WC that team, imo. What's your OR?

dahat

Likely to upgrade Nico Williams this week.

Had considered Kulu to Diaz but will sit another while on that.

Can't wait to get Mount out of my team 8 points in 4 weeks. Thinking of Groß in and using the profit to boost my front line and do Greenwood to Mitrovic for a hit or maybe Neto to ASM

Mr Crispy

Yeah, I'm eyeing up Groß as a Mount replacement. Look out for news on ASM though - he went off with what looked like a hammy injury today.

I wouldn't WC that team, your main problems are Mount and Neto, and then maybe downgrade Zinchenko, but other than that it's a strong team.

Mount to Diaz is the most obvious transfer

Sure you could downgrade TAA/Cancelo and make the midfield stronger but after 17 points for TAA and him being a streaky player that would probably be madness atm.

Cancelo to Walker say allows you to upgrade Archer to a playing 3rd striker, but all that can be done over 2 GW's.

Another strong reason not to play the WC now is the short turn around, you've already missed price rises and will only get 2 days out of them.

By OR do you mean Overall Rank?? (Sorry for my ignorance, I'm new enough to Fantasy Football). My overall rank is nearly 6.4million.

Yeah its not a bad team. I just really need to replace Mount. I've 0.1m in the bank so I won't be able to do my preferred swap of Mount to Diaz.

Yea I stumbled across a piece on this on reddit, (I can't get used to that site at all), where a poster was explaining that because Brighton only play with 2/3 registered defenders that there are less players to get the CS in the bonus point system and so if Sanchez keeps a CS is likely to get a bonus points

Mr Crispy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119535260#Comment_119535260

Yeah, sorry OR is overall rank. I have nearly the same team as you (including Mount and until last week, Neto) but I'm at about 1M OR?!

As Ace says, you could bring in Diaz by downgrading someone else to get the extra few bob. A -4 hit would be preferable to blowing your WC for only a couple of changes.

I haven't looked at the prices, but say Zinchenko and Mount to Saliba and Diaz is probably affortable?

Mr Crispy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119535309#Comment_119535309

Yeah, I think that works.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119534484#Comment_119534484

I done that 2 GWs ago. Great move.

Zinchenko to Saliba?

The only move I’m thinking about this week.

I kind of feel I’m transferring because it’s there though…

Mr Crispy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119535378#Comment_119535378

Suppose you could justify it through Zinchenko being a doubt (if you really want to tinker)?

Mr Crispy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119535330#Comment_119535330

Saliba going up tonight maybe.

joeyboy11

Ramsdale

TAA, Cancelo, James, Perisic, Cucurella

Salah, Diaz, Martinelli (Andreas) (Dasilva)

Haaland, Jesus (Archer)

Have 2 free transfers but don’t have any transfers that I want to do.

Any smart changes in the subs are welcome…

Archer to a 4.4 forward would be good to free up 0.1 but none of the 4.5 forwards have dropped.

I could free up 0.2 by doing dasilva to a 4.4 mid but that would mean I only have one playing sub which I don’t think would be worth it.

Perhaps Salah to KDB but I don’t particularly want to sell Salah despite the recent blank. He’s still the best fpl pick IMO.

As others have said I wouldn’t wildcard that team. Mount and Neto are the weak links there. Perhaps switch them to some cheaper picks like Martinelli, Rodrigo, ASM, Harrison, eze

extra gravy

Went early with my two fts - Ramsdale & Dias to Sanchez & Saliba. Frees up a nice bit of cash. Losing my double City defence but don't think Dias is as nailed as he used to be. Ramsdale isn't going to be picking up save points and bonus as much as last season, he's being protected too well. Saliba is cheaper cover and seems to have eye for an attacking return. Still don't own Diaz, maybe will have to rectify that soon but was willing to hold off another few games now they are coming into a tricky run.

loadwire

-4 taken for Mount and DaSilva to Gundogan and Gross. Watch Mount fly now...

Allison Raya

Zinchenko TAA James Cancelo N. Williams

Salah Martinelli Jensen Rodrigo Neto

Haaland Jesus Greenwood

Neto is my weak link, but I’m not transferring him out because they play Bournemouth next.

Greenwood is 3rd place bench fodder.

Just hold the transfer?

Xander10

What I hate about the quick turnaround midweek games, is the pain of the unexpected rotation/resting of players, especially if you transfer in a rotation.

dr.kenneth noisewater

Have 2FT and was set to ship on TAA but hard to after last GW. Need to move on Saka I think, want Zaha but might get Eze if he's still out and use the funds to upgrade Greenwood to Toney with the other FT. Any word on Zaha?

How Soon Is Now

Think ill roll my transfer don't see anything I can change atm. I am hoping there's not gonna be to much rotation yet but Haaland could be one to keep an eye on maybe Perisic as well.

Pogue eile

Da Silva to Rodrigo already done, happy enough with rest of team but will have to re-examine my double Chelsea defence sooner rather than later.

Cartman78

2 FT.

Time to break up the magical Ward - Iversen dynamic.

Really retroactively annoyed with myself for going with it in the first place....had Sanchez in every draft but ripped all that apart to accomodate Son :-(

So Sanchez/Henderson in for Iversen leaves me with 4.8m to replace Zinchenko, or 7.8m to replace Kulusevski
