GW 35 Transfer Thread

sheroman01 · 01-05-2023 5:14pm #1

The second last normal GW of the season!

sheroman01 · 01-05-2023 5:15pm

No idea what to do this week. Might bank it. Main options are Martinelli to Grealish for free, or Chilwell to TAA (but that'll cost me -4).

AlmightyCushion · 01-05-2023 7:26pm

I think Pope needs to go. No cleansheets for ages and Arsenal next. Although he has a double in 36. Not sure for who though. Maybe De Gea, they have decent fixtures.

Definitely wouldn’t sell him. Newcastle are still defending well just they keep conceding 1 goal but the stats would suggest they’re as likely as almost anyone to keep a clean sheet.

No way I’d be selling until after his double at the earliest.

macraignil · 02-05-2023 6:00pm

Might bring in a Brighton midfielder for Odgaard or Grealish but not sure which one yet.

They have like 1 CS in last 11 games - likes of United have multiple in that time frame and have a DGW. No point keeping players just cause they have a DGW if they keep conceeding.

True but my point would be statistically they are still performing well and in almost all those games they’ve conceded just 1 goal. That would indicate to me they are basically as likely as anyone else to keep clean sheets going forward so I would argue selling Pope is a wasted transfer especially given his DGW

Ace2007 · 03-05-2023 8:51pm

The have kept 1 CS in last 13 games, conceding 16 goals. DDG for comparison has 7 CS in that time frame (plus game tomorrow) and only conceded 13 goals, and that includes 7 against Liverpool. Statistically they are not performing when it comes to CS. Even Everton and Southampton have more CS in that period of games.

Think you’re putting too much emphasis on the outcomes. Yes they kept more clean sheets than Newcastle in the last 13 but those games are gone now. We can’t get those clean sheets points.

So what is the better indicator or future clean sheets? Is it the actual amount of clean sheets kept over the last x number of games? (x being a totally arbitrary number here to suit your argument)

Or are clean sheets more likely to be obtained by the team with far lower xG conceded over the season and with more fixtures left this season to get the clean sheets? This team has also kept far more clean sheets over the whole season which surely is a more logical data point to use for that data than a random number of games chosen solely to strengthen your own point.

Id strongly argue for the latter.

With both midfielders getting returns in the week just gone it seems transfering out either might be the wrong idea and while I'd also like to transfer out Zinchenko there are no defenders I fully trust to replace him so will probably bank my free transfer and have two for next week.

Father Hernandez · 04-05-2023 2:12pm

Might bank but also looking at Mee to Shaw and bench Trippier given his lack of returns.

Not transfer related but a GK headache - start Kepa or Raya.

Currently on Kepa as I have Salah v Raya but Chelsea are just so bad.

sheroman01 · 04-05-2023 10:20pm

I think I’ve changed my tune on Fernandes. I need a differential in my main league and think it’ll be him. Great fixtures. I’ll need to do Martinelli to Fernandes and Chillwell to 4.5 bench fodder. Think I’ll wait one more week for it as not sure if a -4 is worth it.

Grealish looks a good asset too. Could do March to Grealish but might be madness.

MacDanger · 05-05-2023 12:00pm

What's a better option this week:

Martinelli & Wilson or Isak & Gakpo?

I want Gakpo & Wilson but am short 0.1

Shedite27 · 05-05-2023 12:13pm

Have to get Salah in this week, had Kane as a differential but need tog et a bit defensive now being top of main moneyleague

Given Martinelli was surprisingly benched last game, hard to know if he's guaranteed to start this week. Likewise Wilson/Isak one of them could easily not start. Actually Gakpo could also not start.

DJIMI TRARORE · 05-05-2023 4:15pm

Alvarez(VC) in for Toney,also have Haaland (c). Dropping Mitoma to bench for Gibbs-White. Navas over Kepa

mobydopy · 05-05-2023 4:22pm

Who should I bench: Grealish or Trippier ?

Flaneur OBrien · 05-05-2023 4:29pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120559568#Comment_120559568

I'd bench Trippier, because of form, but I have a habit of getting 50/50 calls absolutely wrong :D

This week it's Billing out, Groß in.

I don't think I have an obvious first 11 for this week, so I'm finding it hard to settle on a team.

Raya

Stones, Dalot, Estupinan, Konate

Rashford, Grealish, Salah, March

Haaland(c) Toney

Subs: Alisson, Isak, Trippier, Groß

(I got Groß in mainly for the DGW and before he was flagged)

mindhorn · 05-05-2023 4:43pm

Was thinking of getting rid of Martial but Jota is a doubt now. Also want to move Buonanotte on.

Jota for Isak and hold on to one FT?

ForestFire · 05-05-2023 7:08pm

I'm going with a simple (and possibly mad strategy) between now and the end of the season.

Every player team must need to have fewer than 34 games!!

Loading the team up from BHA, MAN C, MAN U, NEW, and ~~Chelsea~~ (Sorry small typo there ☺️)

Even have Pope and DeGea for alternate DGW's. (Raya has been good but has a tough run in)

Maybe sure if I will keep an Arsenal player in or not next week?

Not sure who could come for Kane??

cullenswood · 05-05-2023 7:24pm

Jota to Isak or Wilson?

ForestFire · 05-05-2023 7:37pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120560242#Comment_120560242

Yeah maybe Isak(Leeds/Brighton) for DGW36, Kane has AV away that week.

Will have plenty in the bank that week, but could be could to strengthen Midfield again for the final week, or Kane back again if needed

Flaneur OBrien · 05-05-2023 7:51pm

Is it mad to get both Isak and Wilson for the DGW?

Both in form, both could substitute for each other and still get something.

Newbie20 · 05-05-2023 9:14pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120560342#Comment_120560342

I’m thinking I will myself. Worth a go and then can get rid of one of them the following week.

Ive Jota and Watkins with Haaland at the moment so don’t think I’ll mind letting them go

Newbie20 · 05-05-2023 9:32pm

Did Jota get injured since the other night? He came on in that game so I thought he might start vs Brentford but if he hurt himself again I think it’s time to move him on.

shmeee · 05-05-2023 10:38pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120560342#Comment_120560342

I will be getting Wilson, already have Isak. It's in my plan anyway.

shmeee · 05-05-2023 10:41pm

Will roll the FT if no early team news that could upset things, Grealish and Haaland benched for example. Other than that nothing standing out and nice to have the 2 FTs going into DGW36.
