GW6 - Transfer Thread

q2ice

Looks like cucurella is going up in price tonight.

If so then I a happy camper as it will let me swap for Trippier

Surprised the thread wasnt already opened...

eh i dunno

Will Rodrigo be out long term? They popped the shoulder back in anyway.

Cartman78

Will wait and see what happens with James and Chelsea in general before doing anything.

Mitrovic is tempting, so a downgrade of James and upgrade of Archer would be the route possibly

Mr Crispy

Waiting on Rodrigo news. Don't mind if James drops once - I won't lose any money on him.

Any suggestions on a keeper? I went with the two Leicester lads and it's been a disaster so far!

Sanchez of Brighton is the most popular choice at 4.6 just now.

Hendo for forest, they have some nice fixtures coming up and should sign some strength at the back over today and tomorrow, which should help the clean sheet points.

CSF

Very real chance I wildcard tonight if Haaland, Robertson, Martinelli and Walker all start. Rotation could become the theme of the weekend before CL kicks off.

rodrigo and zinchenko out zaha and castagne in

Doctor comments/speculates here that Rodrigo is looking at 5/6 GW out minimum

Wilcarded last night.

Gone from a front 3 of Kane, Jesus and Greenwood to Kane, Haaland and Mitro. Had to sacrifice TAA to fund it.

New midfield is Salah, Zaha, Odegaard, Gross (Andres)

Defense is pretty uninspired.

eagle eye

My question is if Salah doesn't score tonight is it time to get rid?

I'm very tempted. I could have KDB and Diaz instead of him.

Or Kane up top and Diaz in midfield.

Have you brought Saliba in yet? 😀

It's Tomiyasu that's lost out. I said White wouldn't get dropped. Did you forget that?

Is it that you would be buying or selling some of them? I have TAA and if Pool don't come back in second half he is getting shifted out for likes of Trippier or Saliba.

Am seriously thinking Salah is just in a rut and needs to go too.

Tomiyasu came on tonight for White

extra gravy

Salah to KDB is really tempting now that KDB got his rest tonight.

Mr Crispy

Salah to anyone is tempting right now!

BackforFPL

Rodrigo out. Zaha in.

Giving Salah one more week and then he's out.

Well, won’t be selling Haaland now, but I was considering wildcarding towards standout players from teams without Europe. I still am considering it, but eh Haaland won’t be going anywhere

Might keep TAA for the derby as Everton are pretty woeful but he is on thin ice!

But you said this in the GW2 transfer thread: "I think you'll see Saliba get minutes off the bench and games when there's injuries and eventually work his way into the team. I think it'll take quite a while though."

He's played full games for 5 matches now

Haaland in!!

Ace2007

whst would opinions on doubling up on Alvarez and Haaland, we see tonight that they can play together.

That crossed my mind earlier alright....I did something similar a few seasons ago with Agueroooo/Aguerio and Iheanacho which had some short term success iirc

Muahahaha

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119551384#Comment_119551384

its an interesting one and he is only 6.2m (did he drop from 6.5m?). Problem is though do you play him in the starting 11 or always have him 1st sub for when Haaland gets rested. If he is 1st sub Haaland could get hooked for him, he scores but you dont get his points. Could be a frustrating own unless you're willing to start him alongside Haaland but risk him getting 20 minute cameos and 1 pointers

extra gravy

Eyeing up Bailey to Sinisterra, bit pricey for a punt but none of the other mid priced mids excite me. Would also strengthen my bench ahead of the inevitable rotation.

Mr Crispy

Only the one FT this week, so I'll have to replace Rodrigo. No idea with whom yet though.

If you read my whole post it was all about White. I said White won't be dropped. I presumed when Tomiyasu was fit that somebody would lose out at centre-half. That hasn't happened, White is starting at right back.

My point still stands that White hasn't been dropped.

The only thing I was wrong about was my assumption that Tomiyasu would come in at right back.

I was thinking about it myself earlier and I think you'd start him when there is Champions League football midweek and an easy game at the weekend. Pep normally rests some regulars at that time.

What has that got to do with anything? Nketiah came on for Jesus. Smith Rowe came on for Odegaard.
