GW 18 Transfer Thread

Shedite27

Zinchenko to Porro for me. Had double Arsenal defence for a few weeks which I wanted out of, Porro looks very attacking and has a decent run of fixtures ahead of him.

COH

Alvarez > Solanke for me I think

dr.kenneth noisewater

Haaland to ???? Wilson/Solanke the 2 I'm looking at currently

Father Hernandez

Ditched Darwin already, Watkins in and the armband on him.

Green&Red

Choice for a one week punt, wildcarding after this

James -> Trippier and bench Gabriel

Or

Foden -> Son and bench Martinelli

Any advice?

Do you have a goalkeeper? Turner was shockingly bad at the weekend

gammygils

Haaland to Watkins done

Same here

Its literally just for this GW, I wouldn't do a keeper transfer., the chances of hitting a CS are poor, I'll just take whatever Turner gets me

On that, any idea why Sa was out this weekend? Bentley is only 3.9 as well

The only other person i would consider having that you don't would be a Newcastle attacker - Wilson/Isak, Lockyer being out is going to leave a hole in their defense, and the Luton players might not be mentally right for the game, Only problem is knowing which one will start.

This is very outside the box but you are looking for a 1 week punt.

Before the red card, I thought Fulham were well in the game v Newcastle and a 3-0 scoreline flattered Newcastle - obviously cause of the red.

Raul Jiminez would be the punt this week but given he's suspended, Vinicius should be nailed on to start v a very poor Burnley side. The previous 4 games they'd been scoring heaps and a home tie v Burnley could see them do similar. His ownership is obviously incredibly low so a huge differential.

I'd be removing Darwin for him btw, not Solanke or Watkins. 0 goals, 2 assists in 7 games that featured both Luton and Sheffield United, there's not much to suggest he'd haul v Arsenal, statistically the joint best defence in the league. Vinicius scored in the 5-0 win v West Ham so has an eye for goal at least.

Appreicate it's a long shot but might be worth consideration.

Adringa to Gordon, have 2 FTs so I'll save one with the intention of getting Haaland back in 19 or 20.

Agree with Fulham looking fairly solid defensively before the red card for Jimenez so thinking I will bring in Robinson. Have Baldock who has not played even after coming back from injury to make way. Will probably hold Alvarez, Haaland and Maguire for a bit longer so need to use my one free transfer to have a chance of fielding 11.

Another big mistake by Trippier tonight to gift Chelsea an equaliser in the dying minutes and then he missed a penalty in the shoot out. His confidence seems to be shot!

Gordon went off injured in the cup this evening so I'd hold off on that move until we hear more

Was that not just a kick on the calf? Sore but something you'd recover from fairly quickly

Gordon been carrying a knock last couple of weeks & id be afraid like Schar if he is risked then a longer spell out is possible.

Trippier a sell for me now personally.

A "nasty knock" according to Howe. A don't buy, don't sell this week I'd say.

Rikand

Areola started tonight for West Ham. I wonder is he back in for the league game

patmac

Doubtful, especially as he conceded 5

Green&Red

Am I daft to be thinking of Bruno in for a couple of weeks?

dr.kenneth noisewater

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121521824#Comment_121521824

Yes, Utd are too unreliable and unpredictable

chases0102

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121520336#Comment_121520336

And conceded 5 goals in the process!

Best replacement for Areola and Turner?

Benimar

 I posted this in the Wildcard thread, but not sure if anyone will look in there. Here is my current WC:

Raya/Dubravka

Porro, TAA, Konsa, Gusto, Branthwaite

Salah, Son, Bowen, Douglas Luiz, Palmer

Solanke, Watkins, AN Other

I have 9.2m for the last striker. Might go Gabriel Jesus, or keep some cash and go for Cunha. I could also downgrade Son to Kulusevski and have more cash in reserve should i need to get Haaland back in soon. Leaving out Son would also mean one less transfer when he goes to Asian Cup.

Any thoughts?

Cartman78

In a similar boat ...have held on to my WC now for so long I actually dunno why I still have it and if I should just wait another week at this stage.

Goalkeepers are the main issue for me tbh (have Turner and Johnstone)....keeping Son is also a tricky one...I think I'll probably go for Richarlison on WC

Kiith

Haaland and Gordon for Son and Watkins. Had to take a -4, but think its worth it.

Luxembourgo

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121522017#Comment_121522017

Went Dubravka.

I know it's short term but fully expect Areola back in goal soon, despite Wednesday

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121510139#Comment_121510139

Adringa to Richarlison done, Gordon is a doubt so won't risk it

Cartman78

Addled yet again with antibiotics and steroids....any help/advice appreciated on what to do with 1FT and wildly still available.

Martinez in for Turner is surely a guaranteed 6 pointer (?)

Willing to take a chance on Gordon starting....Gross to someone is another option but he has a half decent fixture and unlucky not to score last GW.

Or should I just wildcard altogether to sort out the few issues I have?

dr.kenneth noisewater

Haaland to Jackson done. Stuck trying to decide whether to start Neto or Turner now, currently on Neto

Not much point saving the wildcard at this stage in my opinion so if you can see a few moves that will help earn some more points I'd fire ahead with that.
