2FTs ...

Have already done Bruno > Salah and Watkins > Alvarez

gammygils

Eze out for JWP

Scratch that

Edit : Jackson out for Alvarez

AdpRo

Rashford out, anybody in

Ace2007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121119534#Comment_121119534

he looked very lively in first half, but I was humming and hawing about keeping him on WC, dunno what to do with hiM or who to bring in for him.

AdpRo

He’s out for someone who gives me enough money to bring Alveraz home in.

Fitz*

The Son punt failed, so he's out.

Alvarez is hoovering up points so need to try get him in but I'm locked with 3 City already.

Cartman78

2 FT....will be Bruno and/or Sterling out and maybe some surgery in defence as well

Shedite27

Probably gonna downgrade Onana to Areola to allow me upgrade my 11th man to either Trippier or Alvarez

tipping towards Alvarez, looked great today

Ha depending on how Chelsea get on tomorrow, I was thinking of doing Rashford to Sterling, Don't really know who else is worth having - maybe Saka, will see what he does tomorrow.

I only say MOTD but did he not look exactly like Rashford always has?

He's streaky, when he's on fire everything goes in and when he's not he can't buy a goal. He's going through a can't buy a goal at this stage

Ace2007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121121169#Comment_121121169

Last couple of games I don’t think he showed much - United were attacking and he was heart of it in first half - seemed to die off a little in second.

At 8.9m he’s not showing the form that he should be imo. But not many players have shown form worth getting really -

Fitz*

IMO, the thing with Rashford is that he is at his best when running into space on the counter attack. Open road ahead of him. When the game is tighter, he doesn't have that space to run into and his main trick of cutting inside on his right foot and shooting.

Burnley will give him the space he wants alright but I don't think Palace, Brentford or SHU will. Man City might. Fulham and Luton are 6 & 7 GWs away.

Fitz*

At least Jackson owners have a very easy transfer to make in Alvarez coming in for him.

Watkins owners have a more difficult decision to make. He is returning and the good fixture run is on the horizon.

Green&Red

I'm looking at Watkins in for Wissa from GW7, definitely wouldn't be selling him

The Guru 123

Absolutely wouldn’t be selling Watkins. Actually don’t think Jackson is a must sell either although he is struggling to get goals but he’s getting the chances. The yellows are frustrating though.

extra gravy

Martinelli looks like he'll be out for a few weeks. Might just switch him to Trossard, he should see plenty of minutes now and always does well when he does. Second ft will be Jackson to Alvarez/Wilson. Will see how the CL games go.

Father Hernandez

1 FT, will prob take a hit though

Jackson to Alvarez, Chilwell to Botman.

Resisting the urge to WC after a dreadful start - 2.3mOR.

I’m really thinking of playing my WC too

Father Hernandez

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121128938#Comment_121128938

My issue is that I've done a WC team out and there isn't a huge amount of changes I want right now or obvious candidates. I can make mini WC's for points hit over next 2/3 GW's and keep the WC for GW9 when I originally wanted to.

I want to change:

• Onana & Turner to a GK (not sure who to go to?, is anyone consistent this year?)
• Chilwell to Botman - will do this week
• Gabriel - double up Newcastle? can rotate for the moment. Wish I went Saliba to begin with.
• Estupinan - will keep
• Colwill & Beyer - could move on but could equally hold as fodder
• Fernandes & Rashford - will become Salah & Diaby, can do this next week for -4
• Son - happy with
• Mbeumo - happy with
• Foden - happy for the moment but could move on
• Jackson - to Alvarez this week for a hit
• Haaland - season keeper
• Archer - will keep as grand 4.5 fodder.

There's a few I want but not a major overhaul. I think with a WC, you'd want to be making 8 transfers minimum to make it worth it. Some I'm looking at are sideways. As bad as Bruno/Rashford have been, not sure I want to sell before Burnley. Form over fixtures though...

Sanchez at Chelsea is the 5th highest scoring GK but I wouldn't touch him, Neto, Leno, Vicario and Areola above him. Maybe I'd go Areola.

Team feels decent on paper but important to remember it seems everyone had a bad week and points totals are prob still very tight. Feel the WC will be more valuable later on. 1/2 good GW's for the above team could see folks flying up the rankings.

Ace2007

There are a number of players for whatever reason that seem to be going under radar's - the likes of JWP and Awoniyi  have returned in every game this season.

The Henry news (out for rest of season) has me here doing a WC team and with the Chilwell benching another pain. My defence is now backed up by Udogie, Estupinan & Beyer. Have Pedro up front who is always 50/50. And Osula on bench injured and price to drop soon.

I'd be changing both keepers too, Turner/Johnstone to Flekken/Areola. At moment I'll be moving on 8/9 players so could be the time to just do it for my team. Have 8 players I can say I'd be confident of starting this GW and 3 are Spurs away to Arsenal. 2 million OR.

extra gravy

Wilson bench tonight, looks like he might start the PL games and Isak gets CL. Going to go for him as my Jackson replacement. I like Alvarez too but Pep is Pep.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121130977#Comment_121130977

Alvarez with 2 goals tonight, his touch & finish for the 1st was top drawer. Hard to ignore him, unreal form. We thinking Pep just gonna not start him soon? 4 X 90 mins + 1 X 89 mins games in PL so far with Forest & Wolves to come in next 2. Early team news would be epic if they were the 12.30 KO, sadly not.

Father Hernandez

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121132032#Comment_121132032

I’m going Jackson to Alvarez and gonna go early to avoid price changes.

Even he’s benched, Alvarez will come on and match or better Jackson’s score.

LostArt

Already done Jackson to Alvarez, unsure if my second will be Chilwell to Botman to Rashford for anyone

slimshady007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121132032#Comment_121132032

No early game this wkend so still potential to get early news before the 1:30 deadline.

Cartman78

Is there an argument to be made for keeping Chilwell?

He's well rested for sure, and up against Villa's insane high line...himself and Sterling (who I also own 😬) could have a field day.

Or should I just get rid and make the pain stop 😂

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121133301#Comment_121133301

Bang on, never even taught of such. Man City the only 3pm team playing of note on Saturday, would enjoy if Chelsea were. More games Sunday than a Saturday - European football kicking in. Makes it maybe Friday now before looking at any moves due to midweek games unless very stuck on price. Alveraz still didn't rise as expected last night.

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121133498#Comment_121133498

According to fplstats, he is close to a drop but he isn't past the threshold yet. If you are on him since the start, you can absorb this one price fall anyways and decide later.

Chilwell does have a couple nice fixtures coming up in Fulham & Burnley but the Newcastle guys have a longer run of fixtures. Chelsea have a big fixture swing then, so he will be mass sold IMO. Those comments from Poch alluding to Chilwell / Mudryk sharing that LW role and Mudryk being the more attacking one so suiting certain fixtures worry me as he may be picked in those easier games against Fulham & Burnley.

Villa play Thursday so this might help Chelsea and also we don't know how Newcastle will react to midweek games yet.

I'm looking to move him out myself, but might just hold out this GW and kick it down the road as I want (need!) Alvarez so going to try do that.

extra gravy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121132032#Comment_121132032

Yeah will be leaving transfers as late as possible, any hint of Alvarez starting and he's in. His first goal was sublime, maybe he'll get his rest in the Carabao midweek.

Fitz*

I can do dead 4.4 FWD -> Alvarez & Foden -> Diaby for 2 FTs.

But I have to do it before price rises. Is it worth doing it tonight to catch these? I guess I could do a -4 on Saturday if I do get some Man City news but if there is no news, it will be a waste of a hit. Tuesday to Saturday is a decent rest time, and he is the form forward now.

fplfan12345

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121135486#Comment_121135486

If those were the moves I wanted to do then I would just do them.

Especially if you have at least one decent option on the bench.

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121135920#Comment_121135920

Yeah I'd have a very strong first sub option. Maddison / Son / Mbueno.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121130747#Comment_121130747

Hit the WC chip last night and 11 transfers made, complete overhaul. Can play around now with it next few days. Was at 0.1 ITB last night prior to price moves so just went it as Alvarez and JWP increased. Didn't like the look or feel of my original team, I know Villa and West Ham fixtures are yet to turn but ahead of curve there and can bench this GW.

Flekken/Areola

Trippier, Botman, Estupinan, Cash, Beyer

Salah, Rashford, Mitoma, JWP, Diaby

Haaland, Alvarez, Morris

Still not set on Midfield but the rest I am happy enough with as of now. No Arsenal or Chelsea assets so gone against EO there. Saka could be moved into MF as swapping between him and Rashford last night.

Shedite27

Had 2FT.

Brought in Alvarez for my 4.5 striker

Thinking of Chilwell to Botman for my other

Ace2007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121137026#Comment_121137026

The likes of Gusto at 4m at Chelsea is decent shout - who know if/when James will be back and at 4.0m can't go wrong. Alternatively a 4m Luton defender for their double GW - Everton/Burnley aren't exactly free scoring teams so you'd reckon they should get at least 1 CS.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121137311#Comment_121137311

They popped into my head, but was thinking then of future transfers to remove Luton & Burnley assets the more I get in, as trying to plan future moves. Gusto is a shout and cheap and James is made of glass sure! Saka or Rashford? Saka is obvious but Rashford is due to haul with them few fixtures.

Ace2007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121137405#Comment_121137405

I have Rashford but I'm not convinced, neither have really lived up to what would be expected from them. I'd probably go Saka given his form last night, and fact that Rashford did nothing of note. If you think of Luton lads, Bell and Anderson play 90 mins every week, great bench fodder at 4m, no real need to get rid of them at any stage.

CSF

The unexpected Botman rise (he was only at like 80%) has meant my plans have had to change, as I had exact money for my moves.

Not sure whether to go for Burn as the direct replacement or go for Reguilon (I guess the idea is that he’s nailed with both Shaw and Wan Bissaka out longterm and with nobody keeping clean sheets it might just be better to go with a very attacking 4.4 option for a team whose clean sheet potential isn’t that much worse than the rest).

Ace2007

Reguilon has looked decent the last few games for United and at his price point there isn’t much else

Cartman78

Chilwell & Baldock out for Botman and Cash....I almost went for Digne in a moment of weakness but came to my senses

Xander10

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121135486#Comment_121135486

Isn't someone posting some decent man city team news in advance?

fplfan12345

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121144471#Comment_121144471

Dinnery reckons Shaw will be back in 3 GW’s.

Ace2007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121144772#Comment_121144772

3 assist if 5 game for Digne. One could wonder has Cash got his 2 goals for the season already? Historically speaking Digne does well when he gets a run of games...

Ace2007

Rashford or Saka or some else around that price point (i have Son/Salah/JWP/Darwin/Haaland/Alverez) - feel like Saka and Arsenal are in better form. But I don't like watching games after i sell a player, so conflicted selling Rashford - could just give him this GW and bank the transfer. Obv early in season, one rival has both Rashford and Saka, and other chap just has Saka, so in a way getting Saka covers that basis.

CSF

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121144897#Comment_121144897

Sounds like it’s time for the Burn

Cartman78

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121145192#Comment_121145192

Yeah I considered all that but have a bad history with Digne... couldn't face into owning him again especially in a move that involved dumping Chilwell.

Cash got a rest on Thursday too and has been very advanced from what I've seen of Villa this season

fplfan12345

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121145387#Comment_121145387

Been slated by his own fans and could be at risk of losing his place. Seemingly getting done time and again for pace and is either beaten or fouls the player.

Im also looking for a cheap rotation defender to replace Henry. So depending on what GW’s you need to cover should inform you best. I think Hickey is the best I can find but I’m tempted by Castagne at Fulham. He got the 3 bonus points for a clean sheet (no goal or assist) even though he’d a yellow card and someone else scored a winner in the game. Was very attacking albeit against Luton.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121145267#Comment_121145267

Long term I think both will be solid picks, both are also a bit streaky when they hit form. Saka is there now and showing form, Rash showing the stats and potential but not the hauls, I think it's a case of staying on the hot streak and switching when rash shows form as opposed to going for Rash a week or two early id rather be a week or two late

Shanee.

I think ive lost my mind. Got in Reguilon

mobydopy

Did Chilwell to Botman earlier this week. 1FT left and still contemplating Watkins to Alvarez but can't make my mind up whether to do it or save the FT. I already have Haaland and Walker. Going triple City has backfired for me in the past which is why Im hesitant
