GW16 - Transfer Thread

Green&Red

Sterling coming in for Martinelli.

Have the option of Saka -> Son; which scores more this GW Saka away to Villa or Son at home to Newcastle?

Leaning towards Son

dr.kenneth noisewater

Turner to Dubravka if I go without any injuries

The Guru 123

Just realized 4 of my midfielders will be off to AFCON/Asia Cup in January. Anyone know what game week this starts from and when it’s likely to end? Do the 2 run over much the same timeframe?

GWs 21-24 inclusive depending on how far the team goes. Mbuemo might also miss the second of a DGW in 20 depending on the date of it or he might get permission to play and travel later

Cartman78

Tsimikas and Nunez benched

wrong thread

Mbeumo to someone probably. Quite like the look of Hwang against a poor Forest side. Obvious option is Palmer or Gordon I suppose.

Has Hwang got Asian Cup coming up?

He does.

If we knew for sure that Garnacho would retain his place, and from all the evidence he really should, then he’d be some steal at 4.7m.

Most would probably leave him on the bench

You reckon he’ll mostly end up on the bench for United or do you mean you’d mostly bench him if you owned him ?

If I owned him I think I’d have to start him. The biggest problem being his minutes might not be as guaranteed as others.

If his minutes were guaranteed I wouldn’t hesitate to start him if I owned him. Assuming United maintain the kind of performance they gave tonight.

Gusto out Colwill in. Alvarez getting one very last chance vs Luton.

FPL players would bench him as he's 4.7m.

Have the funds for Mbuemo to Son and might just do it

I still have to get rid of Matty Cash

FantasyFool

Thinking of doing Mbuemo to Grealish. Seems an obvious starter after being suspended last night.

Tempted to take a punt on Iwobi in place or Mbuemo, looked great last night.

He'll be gone to AFCON soon as well though

Mbuemo to Gordon for me.

Sterling was the other one to consider but already have Palmer and don't trust Chelsea that much

Would you have gone for Palmer to replace Mbuemo if you didn't have him?

I'm haven't started my search for a Mbeumo replacement yet but the plan a couple weeks ago was Palmer anyways. I'm bouncing up and down rank, generally staying the same. I'd suspect a lot will Mbeumo to Palmer so might look for an alternative to try make ground on others with a punt. A risky punt given Palmers returns, albeit a lot of pens, and fixture run. He has high xGI.

Garnacho at 4.7m is one i would go for - if your prepared to start him. Hwang is another option who I think has scored as many goals as Watkins has but has gone under the radar a bit.

Garnacho might even allow you to get in TAA or improve somewhere else if you wanted to

Shedite27

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121467559#Comment_121467559

Probably would go Sterling if I idn't have Palmer. More of a threat to get a real big score I think, obviously you can do a lot with the extra 1.7m tho.

One of my three non playing defenders this week so have decided its time to get rid of Matty Cash. He is predicted to have a price drop that would impact my sale price on him. Think this season has now pushed me over the edge as I've brought in Harry Maguire and am probably going to have him in my first 11 this week.

Nice Christmas fixture list though so could be a good short term punt. Palmer, Hee Chang and dare I say Mctominay are the other contenders.

Harry maguire has been doing great the last few weeks

7,6,6,1,5 not bad for a 4.3m defender

No such thing as an obvious starter in Pepworld. But if Doku is still injured he has a good chance.

Don't really get the Garnacho hype. Two returns all season. Is he expected to start most games going forward?

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121467619#Comment_121467619

The Asian cup is keeping me away from Hwang and while Garnacho would help me move away from having 8 attackers with genuine starting claims every week, as such, it wouldn't fund TAA and I'm locked out with max Liverpool. TAA could well come in during AFCON though. Have to spread that Salah money out.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121467630#Comment_121467630

Yeah I think Sterling is a nice alternative, and while he might not get the consistent points, he is more capable of a haul.

I am half thinking of Foden. Max Man City attack with Alvarez & Haaland, surely they bounce back while playing Luton and Palace. Very little would have all 3. BGW18 I know but I have 15 playing players at the moment so I'm in a bit of luxury position. The FT could cover any injury that week.

fplfan12345

I should maybe swallow my pride and buy Gordon back having sold him 2 GW’s ago.

fplfan12345

Son did an interview after the game and will seemingly be fine for the next game (On Twitter)

Was so set on getting him but still not sure now as they’ve lost 4 of their last 5 and drawn the other one.

I only fancy 2 of his next 5 games before he heads off for international duty.

sheroman01

I’ll boringly do Mbuemo to Palmer. I still don’t fully trust Chelsea but the fixtures are too good to ignore, it frees up funds and he’s on pens.

fplfan12345

Just picked this off Twitter now. Assume it’s after tonight’s game.

The guy has 160k followers so can’t afford to be fuckin about/lying.

edit - it shows Son, in pain, on the bench
