GW 24 Transfer Thread

gammygils

After playing a disastrous WC I have Olise and Gordon both crocked so thinking Ricky in for Olise

extra gravy

2 FTS. Looking at Trent, Porro, Solanke to VVD, Doughty and Haaland. Don't trust Trent's minutes any more, especially for the double and selling him also means I can keep Watkins.

Ace2007

hmm have TAA and VVD myself, would really like some sort of Liverpool attacker for DGW but can’t really see who to drop based on form. Might just leave as is and have 2 FT going into the DGW

F1ngers

Have 2 FTs.

Alvarez to EBH.

Have Lascelles and Nakamba who won't get enough/any game time.

Might bring in Branthwaite and deal with Nakamba when I WC.

Newbie20

Going to do Porro to Ake this week and will leave me enough money if I want to get Darwin for Solanke next week. The money spent on Porro and Trent seems a waste at this stage with clean sheets non existent.

I think I'll hold fire this week and maybe go De Bruyne & Solanke to Haaland & midfielder next week with my 2 FT.

Chuck Noland

Isak might be on the chopping block here. With the doubles coming I might roll till we get more news

crushproof

Is Salah expected to be back for DGW?

sheroman01

Another headache this week.

Either Gordon to Jota, or Solanke to Darwin.

If I bring in Jota, then I'll have to bench Saka, Palamer or Solanke this GW, which could come back to haunt me (again!).

I also need to decide if I need KDB for the double or not (I currently have Foden and Haaland). I could bring in Alvarez for Solanke in DGW25 to cover for not having KDB. I think I'll have to not bring in KDB realistically.

Pros and Cons for Jota and Darwin, lads?

Ace2007

Given Palmer has a blank GW coming up it might be easier to do him to Jota and bench Gordon who is kinda injured.

Then depending on Sarah's availability Jota is likely to get more minutes than Darwin,

Darwin though is going to get 20+ points in some GW given somE of the chances he’s missed in multiple games, a double that includes Luton is probably the most likely time, if you knew he would start both I’d go with him.

I’d probably prefer Darwin over Alverez

Jota all day for me, more consistent and then like you said allows for Solanke to Alverez for DGW

dr.kenneth noisewater

Anyone else thinking of dumping Porro or just wait until he blanks?

Gusser09

Went TAA to Tripper.

Probably backfire now.

Probably swap him out for a City defender ahead of DWG25.

Don't see the attraction of City defenders, they aren't keeping clean sheets or offering an attacking threat. They' looked vulnerable again yesterday. I'd rather triple up on attack but that's just me.

dr.kenneth noisewater

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121730252#Comment_121730252

Yeah I have Ake already and he's been very frustrating to own

COH

Miles behind in my leagues now and dropped to 900k OR after a few good weeks in a row so took a -4 for the following:

Solanke > Haaland

Bowen > Jota

Colwill > Van Dijk

Ace2007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121730252#Comment_121730252

Agree with this - when you look at VVD nearly every game he gets his head on the end of a corner - he is bound to score every now and again and is guaranteed to play

Newbie20

Looking for advice, thinking of Darwin in for Solanke and replacing Porro at the back to get the extra money needed for Darwin. The only problem is I’ll have another benching headache (benched Foden this week!)

Id have

Saka Palmer Richarlison Jota Foden

Darwin Watkins Haaland

im thinking it would be Watkins I’d bench despite him just getting 18 points. Is it madness to take a -4 and end up benching Watkins? I’m just very wary of Darwin finally delivering over the next few nice fixtures especially Burnley at home.

Ace2007

The thing with Darwin is does he start the next 3 games?

He's the focal point of the Liverpool attack, and team right now. They play much much better when Nunez is on the pitch. Even when Salah is back, Nunez will still be the spearhead of the team. That doesn't mean he will be the finisher of chances, but he certainly is the focal point.

Ace2007

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121733194#Comment_121733194

Yea but he didn't start against Arsenal, in a game that they didn't want to lose.

sheroman01

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121732478#Comment_121732478

I'm gonna have the same midfield as you if I bring in Jota. I'll have Haaland, Solanke and Watkins up top. So I'll also have a benching headache too. Scarred too from laving Richarlison on the bench last week also!

For me it's between Palmer, Saka and Solanke to bench. I find it hard to bench Watkins at home, and United have their moments at the back, he could haul. I don't feel good benching either of those 3 players but something has to give. Crazily I'm leaning towards Saka, as he's not officially on pens I don't think. The only annoying thing is that West Ham might have Fabianksi in goal and they were awful against United, and Arsenal great against Liverpool, so it feels like the wrong time to bench him. Interestingly, FFS have left Palmer out of their bus team this GW, and they play Saka. Watkins and Solanke don't make the team either. NOT looking forward to this decision!

sheroman01

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121733194#Comment_121733194

Agree. I don't think I'll be bringing in Darwin, as I slightly prefer Jota, but I don't doubt his minutes, especially after being rested against Arsenal, and Liverpool playing so poorly. I'm quite fearful of Jota's minutes however, he tends to get hooked early, and Salah could be back soon.

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121733925#Comment_121733925

Because he was injured in the previous game and wasn't fit. Which Klopp said before the game. He had started 8 of the previous 9 games.

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121733936#Comment_121733936

Yeah I think Jota, and Salah too, benefits from Nunez playing also. Nunez bullied the Chelsea defence in the midweek recently and had 2 defenders marking him most of the time freeing up the space for Jota. I brought in Jota myself last week for this reason, and because of Jota's record against Arsenal. Nunez missing out ruined my plans then.

extra gravy

Is it just me or was the game more enjoyable when Haaland was injured? I don't even want to buy him.

Father Hernandez

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121741490#Comment_121741490

He'll be my captain this week but I wish he wasn't.

Game has been better the last week trying to navigate transfers and best captain picks.

Bleating Lamb

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121741490#Comment_121741490

I’m not bringing him in between now and end of Season,unless he goes in an insane run of form.

Game is more fun without him,more difficult to pick Captain etc.

TBF I’m out of contention in Private Leagues so it’s easier to go without Haaland as there won’t be repercussions from it.

Had a poor run before Christmas with lads going down with injuries and was on wrong side of Captains picks several times.

Also forgot to change team a couple of weeks which proved disastrous 🙈

Currently down at 1.7m O.R. which is my worst ranking in years.

Cartman78

So my hit to bring in Gordon hasn't exactly worked out 😕

I can bench him and start Elanga, but getting tempted by Luis Diaz for the juicy next 3 fixtures

FantasyFool

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121741490#Comment_121741490

100%. No enjoyment when everyone has the same template team and EBH as captain. I wouldn't wish an injury onto anyone but would be delighted if he headed off to Madrid in the Summer.

The funny thing is how many people where saying this when Sturridge, Sterling and Suarez were banging in the goals every week a few seasons back, or when Kane, Aguero, Salah were staples of people's teams. At the end of the day, just see it as you have to pick another 10 players to outscore your opponents.

Over the last few weeks, most people seem to have a template team - how many people had at least 6 of the following : Ricky, Palmer, Saka, Foden, Solanek, Watkins, Gordon, Aleverez - and no one was complaining about everyone team being the same?

MaxPower89

Solanke and Porro to Daughty and Darwin for -4. Thinking about Odegaard to Jota, but might kick to touch to next week. The former is due a goal. Porro was an easy sell, not keeping cleanies and blanks in a few weeks.

Wanted Gvardiol as I thought he played high against Brentford, surely a good chance of a cleanie this week too.

mailburner

awful tempted to use the free hit even tho pool and city have doubles coming up

The thought of having 3 pool, city players v burnley and everton

adebayo v sheff utd

feels like there'll be a right haul there

Flaneur OBrien

Is Bradley back today?

No.

Seems Robertson is tipped to start today.

FPL Toni has tweeted that Foden starts.

F1ngers

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121749030#Comment_121749030

Is he just a City itk, or does he do other teams too?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121749030#Comment_121749030

Balls. If he hauls I'll be raging.

mobydopy

KDB benched apparently

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121749053#Comment_121749053

Gets bits of other teams also, tweeted Nunez now starting. Might get one more before deadline, or he might confirm KdB benching also.

Ace2007

Even if kdb is benched just means not captained him - you’d be brave to bench him

shmeee

With KdB benched, I might now start Alvarez and it's Solanke to Nunez with 1 FT. And then other FT will be either Estupinan or Porro our for a low priced defender.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121749084#Comment_121749084

If I owned him I'd start him. But wouldn't transfer him in this GW.

shmeee

Walker benched, FPL Toni

extra gravy

Last minute -4 Adebayo in for Mubama and KDB benched...let's see how this turns out!

Cypher_sounds

Chickened out of holding onto Alvarez for Haaland. Captaincy pull was too strong. Brought Barkley in for Bowen with second ft.
