Gameweek 8 - Transfer Thread

COH

3m OR - 2FT - 3 Flags - 9 of my players playing eachother this week.

I wonder if now might be the time to just WC and stop the rot.

Need to get Son & Watkins in somehow, but need rid of Chilwell and sick of Onana.

With Jota suspended and Gakpo injured I guess Nunez has to start the next game right? Against Brighton who just shipped 6 - who knows what they will be like.

Father Hernandez

3.7million OR, been a dreadful start with 1 green arrow. A bit of bad luck and a bit of bad planning with too much reliance on United, Chelsea and ignoring the likes of West Ham, Villa, etc. Funnily enough I've done the opposite on the Sky fantasy game and doing quite well there.

WC well and truly activated last night - hope to shoot up the rankings asap.

Aim to be in the top 800k by the end of Oct.

I made the decision last week to go with Nunez over Son, brought in JWP in 7 and Osula -> Nunez this week, means I'll have 8 attackers for a while but with Gordon suspended this week I'll need it anyway.

Botman to Zouma for a -4 is also on the cards

Surely no need for the -4? Even if Botman misses out this week isn’t there an international break after that? So he’d likely be back by then anyway so I wouldn’t take a -4 for a defender for effectively 1 week.

I'll be down to 11 otherwise. I've been running with 12 players for most of the season, Baldock and Osuna both have been injured for the duration. Gordon out this weekend also.

You could be right, chance it and wait until after the IB

extra gravy

I'll probably do Botman to Gabriel because my bench is shïte and can't afford to hold him

gammygils

Saka crocked in CL so might bring in Son

I might never get him in

Son didn't train today, but apparently he's been managing his work load recently so that he is ok for the weekends.

Saka injury might force me into a different plan now myself. Possibly even a WC.

Fitz*

Could be a long injury for Saka.

Hes been running him into the ground, they were 3-0 up on Saturday and Saka was limping around the pitch and Arteta wouldn't take him off

Those flags just keep appearing.

So many flags so another -4 .......... Minimum

crushproof

My wildcard from last week is covered in flags, what a disaster!

Seems the week for hits, son and digne in for saka and estu, was .1 off for cash. Still fielding a team this week will be a success

Was going to do the same but seen Digne was subbed at HT last night, any word on an injury?

FantasyFool

DCL for a 1 week punt?

Wishy Washy really, but sounds as if he is fit. But how fit. There's an international break now too, so surely he takes a break then, as he clearly needs it.

I'm trying to decide if Saka -> Luis Diaz for a -4 is worth it. Doubts around Saka's minutes, and the tougher fixture. But Saka has pens and has a good record of scoring/assisting in big games.

Southgate named him in squad - if he plays this weekend be poor form to cry off sick for internationals.

Cartman78

Estupinian and Sterking out for Burn and Maddison for my first hit of the season

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121201592#Comment_121201592

If (when) he comes off before the 90th minute, Arsenal came frame it as a 're-injury/flare-up' which rules him out for 2 weeks. If they want to.

Fitz*

There's a few too many 'ifs' in this. I think I'll bench Diaby, but keep him.

True, but as good as Saka is does he want to piss off Southgate and just call in sick. all in takes is a couple of games and someone player unreal and then he goes from certain starter to bench - look at poor old Sterling - many rave about him and he can't even get into the squad

Actually had the funds for Son instead of Maddison so done the deed just now

gammygils

Went Perv/Saka out for Burn/Son in the end with Botman on my bench for a -4

mindhorn

Thinking of getting Vinícius in and going with a 3-4-3 this week. Fulham haven't been great attacking-wise, and Vinícius isn't guaranteed to even start, but I think he'll get some minutes against a Sheff Utd side unable to keep a clean sheet.

macraignil

Taken my first hit of the season earlier in the week as couldn't get in Watkins in one move before price rises made fitting him in my team more difficult. Estupinan and Isak out for Andersen and Watkins.

Med101007

Any update on Sakas availability for tomorrow's game?

macraignil

Not sure how reliable the source is.
