GW12 transfer thread

F1ngers

Had 11 starters for next week until Maddison yellow.

Looking at Trossard(NFO) or Rashford(NEW), leaning toward Trossard.

COH

Whatever it is it'll be a -8 or a -12 anyway. Have 5x City/Arsenal + James/Maddison

Have the same but I'm only shifting Maddison, who has been a colossal let down since I brought him in. Can't be wasting points to shift Arsenal or City since I'll just want them back the following week. I'll play with 9.

Rashford has Spurs

shmeee

James confirmed out for 8 weeks, misses World Cup.

Conte on Doherty: "I'm really happy for Matthew. He played a good game against Brighton but today he was better. He was good against Brighton but today I saw Matt Doherty of last season. I said to him 'now finally you are the player I know!'."

Sounds like Doherty could be here for a few GWs if he keeps his form.

extra gravy

Will probably do KDB to Salah and leave it that. Should get 9 out and maybe 10 if Neco makes it. Could do Maddison to Trossard but not feeling it, would rather get Foden in next week.

Thank you, whatever way I looked at it, I saw NEW as next game as opposed to their midweek game.

Trossard it is so.

The Guru 123

Any recommendations on a James replacement? Already have Cancelo, Trippier, Guehi, Webster. Whoever I buy will be needed for GW12 and will then likely rotate with Guehi and Webster for 3rd defender spot as I plan on upgrading Bailey to Foden or Saka and playing 343 from GW13 on. I’d love to get Ben White but obviously he’s no good for 12.

eh i dunno

Got castagne in myself.

Father Hernandez

Leaning towards Trossard myself and to have a viable captaincy option, even just for a 1 week punt. Don’t think I fancy keeping him for City and then Chelsea the week after.

Feels like a bit of a trap though the way the season has gone.

But is there any other candidates?

Should field XI for next GW but that includes Neco and Emerson who aren’t guaranteed. Needs must.

shmeee

I've this feeling Trossard is a trap, Brighton were poor last Friday' night. Trossard is over performing for an xG perspective. Brighton literally tried to pass the ball into the goal last Friday' night. But the thing is Forest will let them do that so could be a winner but I'm just wary.

And trying to find an alternative is hard. I won't rush into any move, have a few mil ITB. Maddison yellow is fair **** annoying! All he had to do was survive 1 more minute without acting the mog.

Shedite27

Had planned to do KDB to Salah, will see how they both look alter today.

Maddison is a problem too. No obvious replacement tho so might just take the hit with 10 players on that one. No conficdence that Bowen/Anthony covers the -4

Might just stick KDB - Salah (3 nice home out of 5 and NFO before the break) then the following week get Foden in for Maddison (3 nice home and lei beofre the break)

Free hit played.

Team for the midweek games:

Raya

Toti Young Trippier

Almiron Son Salah Trossard Billing

Kane Solanke

Subs: Alisson Mitro Dier Coady

gammygils

Got Trossard in over Mount for Luis Diaz this week, 14 point swing but getting Mount in for Maddison this week, might also do Salah for KDB for a hit to give me 11 players

The Guru 123

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119750633#Comment_119750633

After selling him this week I might just get Trent back in for James again! He’s obviously fit so surely he comes back into the team now midweek

sligeach

Someone in FFL land must really have it in for Salah. Scores the winner, denied another by Ederson. Should have had assists but for some misses by his teammates.

But no, he's ranked lower than the Man City players even.

mindhorn

1FT and 4.4m ITB. Don't fancy starting Emerson and I'm keeping Cancelo and Haaland. Sub out Emerson and Fofana and take the -4 hit?

Want to move Sterling on but not the week for it.

Fitz*

Is a -4 going to be the norm this week I wonder with all the flags and Man City / Arsenal players?

Father Hernandez

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119753175#Comment_119753175

I wasn't going to but just might now. Salah impressed me and feel today's result will give Pool confidence.

Looking at a -4 to do Maddison & Kane out, Salah and 1 week punt forward in. (before getting Jesus for GW13)

Will give me 11 but banking on Neco/Emerson to get at least 1 point.

Firmino maybe or dare I say it, Darwin Nunez?! Wilson could be a nice differential at home to Everton but I also have Pope & Trippier.

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119753247#Comment_119753247

The -4 of Madisson -> Salah came into my head last night, especially with Salah's moving back to attack. I can do it with a FT but need the -4 to move out James.

I don't think eithet are near a price change so I won't rush in just yet, as we might need more news on Jota injury first. I'm not sure who can play LW for Liverpool now. But I think Salah should stay in a more attacking role now too. He is captainable for the next 2 GWs aswell. He is getting chances again. And when he gets chances, he usually scores.

Father Hernandez

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119753357#Comment_119753357

He'll be heavily owned and heavily captained too I suspect with the week that's in it'

If he returns, it could be painful not to have him.

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119753382#Comment_119753382

I would also ask why sell Kane, is it a funds thing? He has returned in every game since GW1.

But then his next 2 are against Man United & Newcastle which on paper are trickier fixtures. Would you have captained Kane in either?

I think it's probably the right thing to do to sell Maddison now as he was a sell around 13 anyways as his nicer group of fixtures are over now in 12.

Muahahaha

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119753175#Comment_119753175

Id say so especially for those who can only field 9 or 10. Provided the player you bring in gets 60 minutes then it is really only a -2 so a good week to do it

extra gravy

KDB to Salah locked in for me now. May as well do Maddison to Trossard for a one week punt seeing as the fixture is so good. He'll be moved on for Foden in 13 then. Leaves me with 11 including Neco so 10 probably. Unless I go to -8 but if rather move him on for an Arsenal defender in a couple of weeks.

Shedite27

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119754097#Comment_119754097

There's just so few options that I reckon will even cover the -2, and at that, who are you taking out? Probably players you want back the following week anyway. Is it work weakening your team for one game?

thefallingman

with jota out i've gambled on nunez i'm hoping he'll start now and liverpool will be back amongst the goals after beating city

Father Hernandez

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119755033#Comment_119755033

Firmino or Nunez or both to start?

I am thinking either would be a nice differential as a 1 week punt.

thefallingman

yes i'm hoping Nunez starts but they both easily could their squad looks a little short with injuries now

Ace2007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119752963#Comment_119752963

The "denied another" by Ederson would be seen as a huge chance missed, the ref didn't give a corner, so it's not even a save for Ederson, so he loses bp points for a big chance missed, he was on negative bps before he scored, and if he loses the ball at all that's negative against him. Rightly or wrongly that's how the bps system works.

sheroman01

I have 7 players now. I really wanted to WC in GW13. Tempted by a -8 hit to field 10, or a -12 to field 11. Either that, or WC now. WCing now prob makes more sense.

ShaneU

Thinking Maddison to Mount, and then Mount to Foden/Saka for the weekend. Seems a bit of a waste of a transfer but I might get 11 players if Zouma plays. Probably going to be a ton of rotation for the midweek games as well.

Shedite27

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119755401#Comment_119755401

Cost me a 50-1 bet builder. I had Salah 2+ shots on target. Paddy saying that because there wasn't a corner given, the shot was off target

How Soon Is Now

Think I'm all set to play my free hit. Saved it last year and didn't really make all that much difference so I feel having the full 11 and getting a pick of the best for the week that's in it might be a good option to make up some ground.

Picking defenders is becoming so complicated though I mean look what happened when I sold Pope the weekend ffs haha.

cullenswood

Trippier or Doherty as a replacement for James? I intend getting him back him when he is back fit anyway

How Soon Is Now

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119756114#Comment_119756114

Trippier is more trustworthy and will be playing every game unless injury. Hes a much safer option at least.

Fitz*

I'm thinking about going for the much maligned double Newcastle defence for 12 & beyond. Schar or Botman, it doesn't matter but Schar does seem more nailed.

The only thing is the last time there was midweek games, both Schar & Botman were rested. That was away at Liverpool after being away at Wolves. Maybe Howe thought that the Anfield game was a bit of a free hit so tried to rotate there and focus more on their home game against Palace to win that instead. maybe he does the same again, but kind of reversed as Everton at home is a winnable game midweek, and then maybe rotate away at Spurs at the weekend instead.

dr.kenneth noisewater

Looking to move on Maddison so I have 11. Trossard and Mount are the 2 options I'm looking at, Mount looks the better option in the long term

Cartman78

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119756718#Comment_119756718

In the same boat... looking at Mount or Almiron

Fitz*

If you're not taking a hit this GW, are you playing FPL at all 😂

mindhorn

I have two City + Maddison. Want to get rid of Fofana but nobody is standing out atm. Maybe Cucurella but there's a chance he'll only get a few mins midweek or at the weekend. Only 1 FT so I'd have to have a -4 to field 11 (assuming Emerson doesn't play).

COH

Took a -8 already, seasons in the sh*tter anyway so may as well take some risks

KDB > Salah

Madison > Mount

James > Chilwell

Might make it a -12 yet

skippy15

Madison and James for mount and Trent,

Maybe Trent is Liverpool shaded glasses, but other than cancello no premiums delivering, big risk v reward,

DJIMI TRARORE

Mount for Bilva

Wilson(c) for Jesus

Playing 10

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119757986#Comment_119757986

Do you think Robbo might be a better option, right now, over Trent because he is match fit (that we know of, right now)?

Med101007

What should I do here with 2 FT's and 0.8m ITB. I still have my wildcard so I'm planning to use that in GW 13. Thinking for GW 12 to replace Cancelo / Haaland for Van Dijk / Kane and buying them both back with the wildcard in GW 13. That strategy would give me 10 starters for GW 12.

ElTel

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119758808#Comment_119758808

You can get them selling James instead and keep Cancelo.

Cancelo and Maddi to Guehi and Son another possibility.

joeyboy11

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119758808#Comment_119758808

Personally i would transfer out james, maddison and neto for a minus 4. For something like trossard, zaha and geuhi. I wouldnt lose the value on haaland for one week of kane v man u at old trafford

Mr Crispy

Can't get XI playing this week unless I either a) use my two FTs and take a -8 hit, or b) use the Free Hit. Of those options I think I'll go with the first one. Might even just take a -4 and try to get away with ten players. It might cost me in some of my LMS leagues, but in terms of the overall competition I reckon it'd be preferable.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119757986#Comment_119757986

Moved on Maddison to Mount with my 1FT.

That give's me X1 active players (Neco and A.Armstrong involved in such).

And now I may move on either Neco to TAA or Armstrong to Nunez for a -4.... Not sure what way to go. Have the funds, 4.7 ITB.
