GW9 transfer thread, go on my Son!!

Saka out is the popular move this week.

2FTs

Saka > Son

Saliba > Gvardiol

Making a few moves this week after a bit of a slump. Have 3FT's for the first time in my life

• Out… Timber, Saka, DCL
• In… Ait Nouri, Son, Cunha

Arsenal fixtures taking a little turn, Spurs and Wolves in the opposite direction. Porbably get Saka back in 3/4 weeks

Saka out I think.

Deciding whether to go with Foden or Son depending on my risk appetite this weekend.

Saka and Konsa out for Palmer and Keane 😬

Doesn't feel great tbh now that I've written it out tbh 😂

Did Pau/ESR to McNeill/RAN last night pre changes for a hit

Reports that Son was not at Spurs training with the team on the field today. Hold off fire if anyone moving to Son until a bit more news. He jumped in price already this week so not going to jump again you'd feel before Friday's deadline.

Diaz benched again tonight for Liverpool, might just bench him myself the weekend and worry about it then afterwards. Had that buffer on his price rise so drop yesterday or so was ok. A very annoying transfer in all the same!

On Son, Agne said he was never going to play this midweek so that answers why he was missing earlier in training snaps, probably doing his own workout.

Foden playing 90 mins tonight is a bit worrying for the weekend. Hard to sell though before southampton at home. Only got him in last weekend but might go foden/saka to son/palmer.

Dropped Semenyo and Havertz to bring in Mbeumo and Jimenez with my two free transfers.

Man City are not blessed with attacking midfielder options at the moment, but it's not like Foden is being overworked at the moment either. Tasty few fixtures coming up for Man City attackers.

I think Diaz will be the starter for most league games going forward after the next international break.

COH

Son 'still not right' unlikely to feature according to Ange. Serves me (and almost 400k others) right for making my transfers early in the week.

Tempted to take a -4 to get Salah + 5.6MF in for Saka and Diaz. Just 0.1 short for ESR so would have pulled the trigger already if that wasnt the case

I think Diaz has nearly as much chance of a return this week as Salah and with a -4 you're eating into any potential gain.

Straight swaps for Saka would get you Foden at home to Southampton albeit risking him not starting and could even go down the City/Spurs list for a week with Bernardo, Gundogan, Johnson and Kulusevski and use the difference to upgrade someone next week.

Diaz scored against Arsenal away in the cup alright. But Salah has penalties.

Liverpool will set up that bit differently now with Nunez up front, as opposed to Jota. He destroyed Ben White a couple games last season, he really has the beating of him and tends to hang over on that side against Arsenal. Does this help or hinder Diaz by having Nunez go to that side, I'm not sure tbh.

Kept Saka (McNeil will come in if needed)

Changed Saliba to Aït-Nouri and probable stick with this and use the extra funds elsewhere

Any news on how long jota is out?

shmeee

Dunno who to bench, Saka either starts or doesn't feature.

Have a hunch TAA could be involved big time on Sunday. I've the Diaz risk also to think about, he surely starts over Gakpo.

No definitive return date yet. Slot has only said he's unavailable for Arsenal so far. And if memory serves me correctly, he only said that he was missing midweek early in this week too. So it leads me to think it's not a long term injury.

We don't have much history with reading Slot yet though. He tends to keeps his cards close to his chest so far. He mentioned a few issues last week in the press conference but didn't say who. They ended up being Bradley out & MacAllister illness which he disclosed after the team sheets were announced.

I'm having a bad season so nothing to lose rolling the dice.

Taking a chance on Saka -> Foden

nice bit of green

Did a -12 to lose Salah, Saka, Greaves & Welbeck to bring in Palmer, Foden, Gvardiol & Wissa. If Palmer outsiders Salah today I can call it a success.

53 pts before the hit with 4 to play.

Might take another hit this week to lose Haaland and bring back Salah.

42k overall. Best season so far for me.

41 points after a hit currently is a good result. Could be a nice afternoon for you, high risk, high reward. Well done.
