GW16 Transfer Thread

shmeee

Potential for a few issues ahead in coming weeks.

What to do with Gabriel? At least we have CL midweek to see if he makes squad and then decide on potential moves.

Looking at my squad, I've a heap of players on 4 yellow cards: Sanchez (could be dropped anyway by Chelsea I feel), Van Hecke, RAN and Rogers. Players on 3 yellows: Hall, Saka and Palmer. It will be a miracle if I get to GW20 without any of the above getting suspended, when the threshold resets to 10 yellows.

3 FTs, and 0.6ITB so can make moves. But now, most moves look sideways.

Invincible

Done 3 FT

Dibling to Enzo

Lewis to Gomez

Ramsdale to Kelleher

Kelleher? Is Alisson not nearing a return?

Gomez and Kelleher are two transfers out waiting to happen

Invincible

True,especially now that Alison is back training.

Flaneur OBrien

2FT

Lewis & Welbeck out

Saliba & Pedro in

Enzo with attacking returns in his last 5 games vs none in the 10 before. Has there been any tactical tweaks that have given him more freedom to get forward? Looking at Jackson & Rogers to Isak & Enzo.

Arteta not helping Gabriel owners with his weekly 'players are not fit' spiel.

Chelsea look to be playing more of a 3-2-4-1 now with Caicedo inverting into midfield alongside Lavia with Enzo pushing up closer to Palmer as double 10s.

Was looking around online earlier for an answer when planning this week's transfers.

This thread explains a good bit of his involvement:

he didn’t really play much and now is in the team more

I'm looking at him as a cheap enabler alright, to swap with Rogers. Allows me to get TAA too.

Might be a purple patch but he's cheap enough if it goes to pot, not the end of the world.

Invincible

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122944478#Comment_122944478

Well he played 967 minutes from a possible 1350 minutes so far.

Ace2007

He was dropped for 3 league games and then came back into the side and has flourished then

Re: Enzo.…apparently his surge in form coincided with the confirmation of his divorce 🤪

Because James is injured and Caicedo is playing right back. There won't be room for Enzo when James is back.

James is never back so that won't be an issue.

dr.kenneth noisewater

Any word on if Gabriel will be back this weekend? Have enought to do Aina to Gomez but will swap him to Saliba if he's out again

Flaneur OBrien

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122949526#Comment_122949526

He didn't even make the bench in the CL, so I doubt he'll start. Arteta usually brings players in as subs after they've been out for a while IIRC.

Seen a quote earlier and he suggested he was back training, but again that prob doesnt mean much but leaving him in the first 11 either way

Fitz*

Thinking of Rogers → Enzo.

Villa's immediate fixtures ain't the best but I am a small bit apprehensive about losing my only Villa attacker/player, who is guaranteed starts.

And while Enzo is getting attacking returns, I am also apprehensive that he is just in a purple patch and that this form won't continue for much longer. Chelsea's fixtures are nice though and trebling up on their players is not exactly the worst thing.

EBH/Sangare/Greaves to Strand Larsen/Palmer/Colwill.

Took a -8 to get in Palmer and Colwill(already have Jackson), to tidy up my team, but also Chelseas run is too good to ignore.

macraignil

Taken a hit this week to get in two Chelsea players. Saka and Smith Rowe to Enzo and Palmer.

Flaneur OBrien

Oof. Big call, taking out Saka before playing a poor Everton? Hope it works out for you, (just not too well as I have both!)

Delighted I took my own advice for a change

ShagNastii

I've been flying it the last few weeks.

Had four free transfers and really rejigged my team just cause. Hope I won't live to regret it.
