GW11 Transfer thread

Muahahaha

Unsure what to do this week, at the moment half thinking of taking a -4 to switch KdB to Foden and Mitro or Toney to Kane depending on his news.

Just looking at West Ham here and Scamacca is looking really decent, 3 from 3 now so could just do Toney to him.

Fitz*

Also own Toney, I've also thought about Scamacca. Both scored GW10 but 4 points between them.

Depending on your team set up, how many times will both start for you before the WC?

Toney:

Scamacca:

I have them down for 4 times each would start in my 11, out of 6. Scamacca does have that added rotation risk though with the EL and Toney is on pens. Scamacca does seem to be in better form though.

Muahahaha

yeah those away fixtures for Scamacca arent great. But on the eye test Paqueta is linking up really well with him and you can see a good understanding forming between them. Will look at it more during the week but Im just not that convinced by Toney, he will deliver points but I think I got sucked in by his hat trick. Another option could be Eduoard who does have good fixtures and has 2 in 2 now. Will wait for Kane news first and then consider a -4, 8 goals in 10 games now and worth holding till the World Cup.

mindhorn

Sounds like Kane will be ok. I have both him and Diaz but looks like I'll have to move on the latter. Also have three Chelsea - James, Fofana and Sterling. With Potter now rotating I might need to take a -4 hit and get rid of Fofana.

Just on the comment on away games - just cause it’s red doesn’t mean he won’t be scoring / Liverpool and United are struggling for CS lately so wouldn’t let that sway you - sure West Ham mightn’t win but he could easily score.

dr.kenneth noisewater

Have 2FT and looking to move on Coufal at least. Also looking to move on Salah, plan was to keep him until after GW12 and get KDB then but hard to see the point now

sheroman01

2 FTs. I'll be WC'ing GW13, so just looking for GW11 and GW12 picks. Will move on KDB and Cancelo in GW12. For GW11, I'm not sure what to do, so advice is welcome!

Sanchez/Ward

TAA/Cancelo/James/Trippier/White

KDB/Martinelli/Trossard/Pereria/DaSilva

Mitro/Toney/Haaland

I'm thinking TAA and DaSilva out, leaving me with 12.9m itb then. Torn between Maddison/Bowen/Zaha.

thomasm

Have 3 city(Haaland,KDB, Cancelo and 2 arsenal(Saliba, Marty) and dont really fancy moving any out for the week they blank as it will cost more to get them back and nothing in bank. Bench is essentially fodder with Periara, Willimas and Emerson(WH). What are players thinking on this ? Make no changes and end up with 8 playing or make some changes ?? Free hit seems overkill !

Which players have you a lot of money tied up in?

For example, if you bought KDB at 12.2 and he is 12.4 now, sell for 12.3 for one week, bring in a Salah/Sterling/Son etc, before switching back to KDB again. You shouldn't lose out too much there.

I'd move on Emerson this week to prepare anyways. Doesn't play, and even if he did, the game in 12 is not really a CS game for West Ham. At least Neco Williams & Andreas actually play.

caviardreams

I am one of the unfortunate few still stuck with TAA so he definitely goes this week even for a hit! Have Pope so reluctant to bring in Trippier - will cucurella be nailed on now with Potter in charge? You would thinks so surely?

Also have saliba, cancelo, patterson (also needs to go), and neco williams

Maybe Neco a little less certain to start

joeyboy11

Did Emerson to guehi in preparation for gw 12. I’m not selling any city or Arsenal players just for that one blank with their form and value built up.

Same. I'd rather play 10 that week than lose value or points on transfer hits.

Western Pomise

Seriously thinking of bringing in Scammaca for Toney…..he’s bang in form,got a lovely goal the other day and is linking well with Paqueta.

Big advantage if he outperforms Toney over the next while is that with his very low ownership he is a good differential.

macraignil

Surprised to see so much talk of selling Toney. He is the third highest points scoring forward this season at just 7.3mill. Used my free transfer to bring in Trossard for Sterling as I think 9.9mill is too much to have invested in a player that may be benched more easily now they played so well without him.

NoviGlitzko

Plan is to bring in Trossard for Andreas. I'm gonna wait until the press conferences though as I still own Isak and Mitrovic and want to be sure they'll start GW12.

How Soon Is Now

Thinking that having double Newcastle is just not working. Been a few occasions where they where both on for clean sheets and lost it late in the game really would of stung only for Tripper getting some kind of attacking returns.

What goal keeper would you bring in for Pope though!? I had Sanchez earlier in the season but there fixtures are not great for the moment. Also don't trust Wolves even though Sa is high up the rankings.

Kepa is 4.4 - seems to be the new managers preference in goal

Fitz*

Is Nunez an option now?

Especially with Salah being transferred out en masse, and TAA & Diaz are injured now for the short/long term. He could be the Liverpool cover to have.

Diaz is out for the foreseeable future, which means Jota will have to play LW now. Maybe Carvalho will play the odd game, but it's less likely he will start IMO after the failed trial v Brighton in GW9. There is now 4 senior forwards for 3/4 positions. I don't think Liverpool will continue to play the 4 forwards together as there are only 4 fit now, and they all can't play every game.

Liverpool might not be in form, but they have scored 5 goals in the last 2 games. They have scored in every game this season bar one, and Darwin does look dangerous when he plays. Shoots regularly and is averaging 1 return every 90 mins in the league.

Could be a nice differential, I just feel 8.9 is too expensive for him as he is a big gamble in a team under performing, especially with Jesus at 8.0.

thomasm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119726766#Comment_119726766

Zero in the bank so if I sell I cant get them back as all have gone up on value as I've had them from the start unfortunately.

Muahahaha

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119729759#Comment_119729759

yeah the double Newcastle defence hasnt been working, Pope had a few clean sheets before lots brought him in but nothing since. Watching them it seems like they will concede in a good few games but also create a lot of chances at the other end which is great for Trippier. Ive other fires to put out but not all that keen on playing Ward either

How Soon Is Now

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119729775#Comment_119729775

I've already got James don't want another double that's not getting clean sheets lol.

Trying to stay away from doubles because theres no obvious team in the league this year that is constantly keeping clean sheets.

Shedite27

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119730611#Comment_119730611

Does it matter if you've 2 players from different teams that do or don't keep clean sheets or 2 players from the same tem that do or don't keep clean sheets?

You should judge every position on its merit. If Kepa is the best option, he should be your keeper

Fitz*

Speaking of clean sheets, I was shocked to see that Arsenal have conceded in their last 10 league games at home.

How Soon Is Now

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119730709#Comment_119730709

If Chelsea are not looking as solid at the back there's not much point in me having two of there defenders. Kepa would be a bargain if they where keeping clean sheets like last season until then ill just spread things out a bit.

James and Trippier are there for there attacking returns just as much as there clean sheets Kepa will get none of that.

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119729989#Comment_119729989

Good point regarding Jesus.

I guess I'm being scared off by the blank, when we shouldn't be as the City & Arsenal assets are all returning consistently.

I do still own Martinelli and that is a contributing factor by not wanting to over commit, while at the same time not wanting to under commit to Liverpool when they are still scoring goals. Maybe there is still some club allegiances at play there too!

Maybe I can hold off til 13 to bring in Nunez / Jesus instead.

Fitz*

Haaland being rested tonight.

I wonder now that Diaz is out, would Salah become an option again, Diaz was very involved in games and did a lot of work, but was he a bit too selfish - i.e. did he look to play in Salah, like other did last season? I think Bobby is great value if you knew he would start, but when you spent £85m on a player it's hard for Klopp not to play Nunez. The balance has changed so much from last season it's hard to know really which option is the best.

mindhorn

James injured and I've made my sub already. Looking at a -4 now as I have Fofana on the bench and Emerson as my other backup.

Benimar

So, eh, I may be looking at the lesser spotted GW11 WC!

eh i dunno

Glad I brought in Trent Diaz and James last week on my wildcard

Fitz*

Don't sell just yet....although he is a very frustrating own, so maybe just sell anyways!

Keeping close eye on TAA's price today as don't want to lose 0.2 on him. He is main issue now followed by Mitro then James. Oh and this lad called Salah, big value tied up in them.

Father Hernandez

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119732378#Comment_119732378

Chelsea have Villa at the weekend, Brentford midweek with Man United the following Saturday.

Even if it's just a knock, I'd guess James will be rested for Villa with a view to keep him fresh for the United game.

He could be very frustrating to keep for 3 gameweeks. Problem is, there's no one really standing out to replace him.

Other Chelsea picks are too risky, Cucurella cheap and prob starts the PL games now - risky though.

Arsenal have the blank, City have the blank and some will own 3 already. Liverpool out of form and expensive, Spurs defensively no one stands out bar Perisic but a rotation risk. Trippier is solid but already highly owned.

Tough one.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119732450#Comment_119732450

Same, went through a few defenders there. Do you just downgrade to a Wolves or Brighton player then? Jonny looks an option.

Saliba is the answer but the blank is a killer and need playing GW12 players. Already have Tripper and Cancelo. Spurs players a risk then on top of it. It's a head scratcher for sure!

Western Pomise

I’m thinking Dier for James.

Pogue eile

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119733029#Comment_119733029

You beat me to it.

Dier, Veltman/Dunk and Jonny were the ones I considered, Dier for now but will wait on news of James.

Shedite27

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119733029#Comment_119733029

Why Dier over Peresic?

Father Hernandez

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119733923#Comment_119733923

Dier has played every minute for Spurs in the PL season. (2 goals, 3 CS's)

Perisic only completed 90 minutes once. Only started 5 times games and came off pre 60 on one of those games. Much more a rotation risk although more upside to Perisic you'd think. (3 assists, 2 CS's)

I'd be thinking Dier over Perisic too.

Muahahaha

Only just copped the deadline this week is 6.30pm Friday, would have put it in the thread title otherwise.

Will have to make some decisions after the Europa League games tomorrow, Ive gotten caught out by Thursday night price rises too much this season

Swaine

No obvious transfers so Pope out for Kepa. Have Trippier so double Newcastle defence is a bit silly.

thefallingman

I got kepa in too swaine, have james aswell so trippier will probably play off my bench. Really not enjoying this season everyone has the same players. The captains thread might be interesting this week though

Pogue eile

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119739970#Comment_119739970

This gets said every year, its no different to any other season, there will always be a very clear template team after 5 or 6 weeks.

Ace2007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119741447#Comment_119741447

While true, this year everyone has the same captain, picking anyone that's not Haaland has proved fairly costly for the large majority of people.

F1ngers

Diaz to Martinelli, blanks in GW12, but not having an Arsenal attacker was scary.

Fitz*

Starting to think I should have moved out Mitrovic earlier. Have lost 0.2 on him now, and he probably won't play this week.

Also think this might be a good week to move out Dias, with the upcoming blank. Can buy him back in 13 as I will already own 3 Arsenal & City attackers combined and won't be scrambling there.

Shedite27

Really struggling with this one, gonna sell James next week anyway so feel I might as well do it this week. Castagne or Guehi seem the best of a bad bunch. No premiums standing out for me at all.

Will probably use the funds to get Salah back next week then for KDB to get back to 11 for the blank.

Shedite27

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119742960#Comment_119742960

I've Mitrovic on the bench, granted there's the injury worry but he's got a great run if he's somehow able to play - Bournemouth, Villa, Everton home and Leeds away in the next 4.

James injury worse than feared, may need op
