GW7 Transfer thread

Muahahaha

Have 2 FTs but not sure what to do. Reece James becoming a bit of a headache, no returns from Diaz either but have only had him two games.

Benimar

Have 2FTs and 1.6m itb. Thinking of doing Jesus and Archer to Toney and Mitro.

Another option is TAA and Archer to a defender (no idea who though) and Mitro.

Mr Crispy

Only the one FT for me this week, but I think I'll hold - happy enough with my team's fixtures for next week. Then will use the two to switch up a couple of positions for GW8. Assuming nobody's injured of course.

caviardreams

Switched Mendy to Pope and have anther FT

Looking to get a Brighton mid in for Kulu (who has been a disappointment tbh)

McAllister, Gros or Trossard?

McAllister being on frees as well as penos today is swinging me his way but Gros/Trossard maybe the more reliable returner?

How Soon Is Now

Giving Salah Wolves and if he is average again and doesn't do much think it's time to move him on. Can't really move Trent he's always capable of points. Martinelli and Jesus were unlucky today but Mitrovic might have to come in soon! Whether it's for Jesus or Toney I dunno.

Gonna keep an eye on Europe during the week until I do anything nothing is jumping out at me just yet.

castletownman

Don't know whether to bring in McAllister for JWP or Gibbs-White. Happy enough that the latter is a bit of a differential, and while JWP is a dead-ball specialist, McAllister seems to be as well. Siding towards JWP out as it stands.

nice bit of green

I love how the dust hardly settles on a GW and we’re already reacting with fervour for 6 days in the future.

Truth be told I have next week’s team arranged (barring transfers) by midday on a Saturday :-)

Bit harsh on James - he has returned 7,7,1,7,1 in the games he’s played. Just think what his returns might be if they start keeping CS - he’s the cheapest of the attacking full back trio - TAA and Cancelo being the others.

jesus ownership has me a little worried about selling - he’s in a team creating chances who have been okish fixtures but he is taking up a valuable spot.

Rashford Shawnee promise today but seemed to have a niggle when he went off - decisions decisions

Dubh Geannain

Have 2 FTs.

Tempted by Kulu --> Rashford. I had him for the first two GWs before selling. Then he starts hauling of course.

Did Ramsdale to Henderson last week which turned out to be of no benefit. I benched Nico Williams as I didn't want 2 Forest Defence. So, considering undoing the Henderson purchase but not sure who to go for there. Sanchez? Back to Ramsdale? Or even Raya? Ward is my sub goalie.

McAllister has 3 penalties out of his 4 goals and no assists. That sort of run doesn't hold up IMO

Rikand

Who do People want me to break this week ?

Gw6 :: martinelli and Andrea

Gw5 :: saliba and sanchez

Gw4 :: Rodrigo

Gw 3 :: dasilva

thefallingman

Cucurella and zaha out Zinchenko and Antony in

darego

can't decide between Gros or Trossard. Any advice?

dr.kenneth noisewater

2FT so looking at getting Rashford in for Eze (hasnt worked out) and then Walker to Patterson as have Cancelo already and they're conceding too many. Will allow me to move to 3-4-3 instead of 433 as defence isnt working. Could also move on TAA but will give him another couple weeks

2nd Row Donkey

I see Burn only played 11 mins at the weekend. Howe swapped out both centre backs from the game vs Liverpool for the Palace game.

I have Dan Burn, and benched Guehi (6pts) just to make it worse. Wondering if I should shift Burn on.

Edit - dropped or not, Burn to Daglot looks a decent move.

normanoffside

Kulu to Rashford done. Shouldn’t have sold Rashford after GW2.

Was in the same boat - went for Trossard. Gros seems to be in the form of his life whereas Trossard has more of a track record performing at this rate imo. With only 0.5m between them now due to Gros' price rise, I think it's a coin toss tbh and hard to predict.

Father Hernandez

Taken from online and prior to the weekend's 5-2 win, Trossard had double the number of shots in the box (10 v 5) & penalty area touches (30 v 17) than Gross.

I went Gross over Trossard as I couldn't afford him but Trossard seems the better choice. Nice swing at the weekend too, 12 points to 5.

bantee

Just did Williams to Malacia as I had exact money. Risky move before european games but I think he has more CS potential and is only .4 more expensive.

Yeah I've watched the last couple of Brighton games and if I was picking again I'd go Trossard, I'll swap them in a couple of weeks when I wildcard.

Transfer this week for me is Greenwood to Mitro, but I'll hold off til after CL just in case someone gets an injury

eggy81

Current squad with .3 in the bank and 1 free transfer. I’m thinking of a 1 week transfer of either Kane to Jesus or mitro to isaak to avoid the chance of stalemate between city and spurs wrecking scoring chances this gw with the chance Chelsea could hit form any time too and hammer Fulham. Other option being sell zaha for rashford and play 442 dropping 1 of Kane and mitro. Or just play zaha but don’t fancy palace much against united at the moment. What would ye do.

Muahahaha

Anyone know if Fofana is likely to have any attacking potential, would he be in the box for corners or lurking back at the centre circle? Im avoiding double any defence at the moment but thinking Fofana is so cheap he could be perma 1st sub but also then played alongside James when Chelsea do have a chance of a clean sheet against easier teams

Mr.Prodston

I forgot Son was so expensive, as I'd been considering an elaborate swap of Kulu to Son, have 1.9 ITB but sadly I'm still almost 2.0 short. So it's not happening!

Feel like he might do something big against City though. He likes playing them, and they may be more leaky than previously. Guess I can save a transfer and blindly apply that logic to Kulusevski and hope he starts...

Ace2007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119577963#Comment_119577963

Brighton are a little leaky atm for double defense, and Bournemouth now have Solanke back fit and scoring, so if your benching anyone Dunk would be high on list, and maybe just behind Nico - Leeds are very open team especially at home, so would be surprised if they didn't score. Not sure on Odegaard in the short/medium term either - sure he got a few goals recently but with all the fire power in the team he's not the most likely to be on the score sheet, moving him on for Rashford might be good shout. I wouldn't be selling Kane, Zaha or Mitro - your going to lose value if you sell them most likely and might not be able to buy back. Dunno why you would consider benching Kane or Mitro and playing Dunk/Nico - that's just bizzare.

Cheers. Nice bit of perspective. Very inclined to focus on something that comes into my thinking and forget the bigger picture in the team overall.

Bad week last week.

Dust myself off and on we go.

I have 1 FT, but I think I’ll hang on to it.

I’m sick of Toneys points last week, but he can’t keep that up…

.8 in the bank for any glaring omission you see. Planning to WC during the break. Probably going to get rid of Salah, but it’s a frightening move!

madds

Swapped Dalot for Zinchenko. Zin might outscore Dalot but I think 4.4 for an automatic choice in United's ever improving defense is not too much of a risk. I also think Dalot's scoring potential has increased with Antony playing ahead of him, both in terms of clean sheets and assists. Antony knows TH's system and seemingly was tireless in tracking back in that system for Ajax. Definitely makes Dalot a more attractive proposition with Elanga removed.

Start Alison and ship out Rodri out

thefallingman

Tuchel sacked, could make chelsea players attractive depending on who comes in.

Pogue eile

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119583324#Comment_119583324

Will be very interesting, Fofana at 4.4 could be an absolute steal if they get a manager that can organise a defence, on the other hand if they get a manager that can get the best out of his attackers (Tuchel was terrible at this) then Sterling, Mount, Havertz all become very interesting.

Very happy I stuck with the plan to keep my wildcard until GW8 as I was very tempted the last two weeks.

Jacob Murphy ---> Rashford

Agree completely, its a wait and se with them.

None of the signings made sense and there seemed to be a complete lack of a plan or a vision, wont be an easy fix for whoever comes in. Lots of talent there but a very unbalanced squad.

gammygils

Hokd off on any Brighton or Palace transfers.

Match on Saturday 17th has been postponed due to rail strike

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119585646#Comment_119585646

WC GW8 could be an option for me now. Gross and Sanchez assets firstly won't have a game.

And I've Liverpool v Chelsea to deal with in GW8 also. And sub goalie is Ward v Spurs in GW8. Timing of using WC could be key. I'll see what FT's can do between now and then firstly.

Mr Crispy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119585646#Comment_119585646

Balls. Was going to use my 2FTs to take Liverpool and/or Chelsea players out for GW8 and then WC in GW9. Now I'll have to deal with Sanchez, GroB, Zaha, and Ward too. Bleurgh.

nice bit of green

Yeah that postponed game is a nonsense. Surely they have enough time to organise coaches/car journies.

Xander10

So...how do you solve a problem like Mo Salah ?

Liverpool players look shot. Transfer re-think

gammygils

Yep. Liverpool getting hammered in Naples

3-0 down and Alisson saved a pen

Quoting myself here. Kulu started behind Richi again tonight. So just pulled the trigger on Rashford.

1 FT left and now with £2.1m ITB. Don't think the keeper swap is the right one now.

Ace2007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119586698#Comment_119586698

Selling Salah shouldn't cost us that much, it's not like other seasons where he was going to be top captain pick. Given form, you be very brave to go against Haaland any time soon.

Fitz*

I had mentioned it at the start of the season that I thought Liverpool long term would start to use Salah as a creator rather than as a finisher. I didn't expect it to happen so soon, with his crazy wide positions in most of the games. In previous seasons he has played wide, but cuts inside but now he is being just told to keep the width which is allowing TAA to go into central areas.

Previous it was Henderson as sort of a quasi RCM/RWB with TAA as a RB/RM and Salah as a RW/CF. But now it's TAA as a RWB/CAM, Elliot as a CM,RWB and Salah as RW/RM.

I think he is gonna be leaving my team soon as a result of this, let alone Liverpool's form.

Shedite27

So if Liverpool are dead, what the hell am I supposed to do with all this Salah and Trent money???

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119587826#Comment_119587826

There’s nowhere to spend it.

The pricing has been awful this season. Again.

The 3 favourites for the league were - M City, Liverpool and Chelsea.

I can easily create a team with 9 of their players. Pointless.

extra gravy

Trent was really bad tonight, if he had any competition for his place then surely he'd be dropped.

nice bit of green

Think I am pulling the WC later today. Pool and Brighton out, City & United in.

Ace2007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119587894#Comment_119587894

and some wonder why he’s not automatic starter for England.

maybe if Southgate dropped him for the nations league it would give him a kick to jump start the season though the problems are deeper than him.

Ace2007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119587826#Comment_119587826

Guess it means having a team of 15 quality players and no 4.0/4.5 players and using the skill of picking the right starters each week instead.

As it is the majority of teams have I’d say same 6/7 players starting every week so it’s your captain choice and differentials that make up your rank.

mailburner

thinking of getting rid of jesus and diaz for kane+rash can't seem to pull the trigger on Kane though I could still see him score v city

if you take out the week jesus got 2 goals and assists his record is 2 4 1 6 1 Diaz has blanked in 4/6

both capable of a big score but equally likely to flatter to deceive

Pogue eile

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119587826#Comment_119587826

Dumped both last week for KDB and Trippier.

I am still very reluctant to go without any Liverpool cover, yes they are really struggling but they are still capable of spanking anyone, I will probably bring in Diaz on my Wildcard.

Pogue eile

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119588445#Comment_119588445

Jesus is a funny one, he was a must get from the start with his high ownership and just wrong pricing but as you say, take out one week and his returns have been poor, however from a non-fantasy perspective his all round play has been excellent and you would be thinking its only a matter of time before he returns big again.

I wont be dumping before a home game against an Everton team without Pickford for sure but post Wild Card I think my forward line will be Haaland, Mitrovic and one of Isak or Toney.
