    Is Sterling to Firmino worth it given possible rotation despite Sterling training?
    I think Sterling is someone you might want going forward though.

    True. I wish Antonio to Firmino was doable. Only way I could do that is get rid of Costa or Lukaku which I don't think I can do

    Deeney and Benteke offer a saving with the addition of form and penos.

    My guess would be that Baines offers more attacking returns.

    Yeah but Costa is red hot and Kaku has Burnley after City. Don't think I'm gonna sell either of those :( Although I might go for it. Antonio could easily out score Firm this week :P

    I'm making a transfer this week that will enable me to do Antonio to Firmino next week. I don't feel like he's a must have this week that I'd take a hit to have him.

    I've 2fts as it is. Could just make an insignificant transfer like Collins to Pieters and then consider the lay of the land next week for Firmino. Or go Lukaku to Benteke only and have the option next week of switching back or getting Firmino.

    That last one sounds good actually :D

    Should I get rid of Lallana for this GW?

    Who could I replace him with? Only 0.1 itb

    Lads is de bruyne back?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 784 ✭✭✭FrClintPower


    Strangely enough, thinking of banking. Am I mad?

    Foster (Pickford)

    Baines Walker Holebas (MacAuley Amat)

    Sanchez Antonio Firmino Snodgrass (Capoue)

    Benteke (C) Aguero Lukaku

    Maybe I'm missing something or the international break has changed me but I don't think I'll make any transfers to benefit me this GW.

    Any thoughts?

    Very close to my front 8, only Antonio for Mané different. Happy to hold them for moment, actually thinking of just going Jaku -> Some Dude to bank the extra cash while I have the chance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,247 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Trying to decide on which Arsenal defender to get is giving me a headache. May go for Mustafi as a differential.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,247 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Is Bolasie to Milner a bad idea? Already have Firmino but Pool's fixtures are so good. Other option is Snodgrass.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    Lads is de bruyne back?
    Yes. So is Sterling. But with Barça away midweek will Pep risk both of them is another question. My source is Philippe Auclair on French radio ;).

    That said, from FFS:
    Guardiola: "I never prioritise. The next one is the most important game. Tomorrow is the most important game".
    Guardiola: “All of the injured players are much, much, much better. Some will play tomorrow, some will not.” https://t.co/Wllrm5Ihk9

    Antonio is my weak point.

    For 7.2, what are people's thoughts on Tadic?

    Southampton playing well, home to Burnley.

    Decisions?

    i'd go Snodgrass and bank the change. Snoddy is on almost all set pieces and Hulls fixtures run great. Milner more expensive and i'd be surprised if Liverpool continue to receive pens at the same rate


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,858 ✭✭✭Manutd_4life


    In a dilemma here, have both Lallana and Sterling who both are big uncertainties this weekend.

    Only have 1FT and don't know who to cut out. Advice very much needed

    Considering a -4 now:

    Valencia Baines Bolasie to Walcott Mustafi Smith

    Want Theo in my team even though it'll inevitably end up in heartbreak again :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,434 ✭✭✭✭km79


    4 pt hitfor 2 attacking defenders :D
    Ibra stays for now
    a blank and he is gone to make room for firminio

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,201 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Ibra hazard out Costa and Sanchez in!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    Heston (Jaku)

    Bellerin Walker McAuley (Valencia, Amat

    Walcott Mane Payet Redmond (Capoue)

    Aguero Lukaku Rashford.

    Already used my transfer this wk bringing in Bellerin.

    Looking at replacing Valencia, Redmond & Rashford long term. Haven't the foggiest to who tho

    Don't think il make any transfers for this to take a hit.

    i've Theo myself. From what i've seen honestly he looks to be playing great, and getting in forward positions a LOT. i'd be very surprised if Wenger veers away from the attacking 4 of Ozil-Iwobi-Walcott-Sanchez, they've been overwhelming defenses with their pace and movement - well all except the mighty Burnley at Turf Moor last time around ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,964 ✭✭✭caviardreams


    Gonna take a hit to get rid of Kone but .1 short of getting in Bellerin so looking at a Spurs player as they have a good streak coming up with clean sheet potential imo. Vertonghen or Walker - Vertonghen probably as he's cheaper and surely nailed on to start but Walker offers an attacking threat (but possibly more likely to be rotated?)

    Any advice: Vertonghen or Walker (or somebody else for 6.4 or less!)?

    I'd go for walker
    He will be worth the extra in the long run between bonus and assists

    Ya I don't think rotation is a worry at the moment, it's whether he can keep up his form. The fixtures are hard to ignore anyhow.

    I've decided to go for Bellerin instead of theo as my defence was a shambles
    I took a hit for him last year and he got double digits that week
    I'm actually getting way too tempted to captain him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Zlatan -> Benteke
    Fletcher -> Theo

    I decided against Antonio -> Son for -4 as I can't be sure he'll play with internationals etc

    Ya I want Bellerin too but can't afford both so trying to convince myself that Mustafi is a good option. He scored 2 last season and 4 the season before so there's potential there :D

    Thanks km - think I'll go with him so, though what I would give for the extra 0.1 to get Hector B in :(
