Gw 9 - Transfers

What to do with Leighton Baines? Not too many defenders in the 5.5 price range jumping out at me.

Lovren or Stoke defence and use the funds elsewhere?

Can you get Walker and Austin with Capoue (sold for 4.9) to a 4.3/4.4?
Lovren instead of walker would save you the hit or perhaps just get Austin this week.

I could but I'm losing faith in spacecraft!

Hmm Allen or Deeney for this week?

Need to take the hit to get Austin and Walker in unfortunately, cant afford both as is

For this gw? Both have pretty tough fixtures.

Vertongen and rashford out for Wilson and kosielny...Short 100k for bellerin..raging that Wilson went up last nite. Dont trust Spurs for cleanies anymore.

Leicester defence. Only realised last night they have only conceded 1 goal at home this season.

Palace (h)
Spurs (a)
West Bron (H)
Watford (a)
Boro (h)
Sunderland (a)

Differential gold or steer clear??

Out of these three, who would you start this week:

Puncheon (away to Leicester)
Capoue (away to Swansea) - already have Deeney and Holebas
Amat (home to Watford)

Due to Leicester being decent enough at home this season, I'm thinking of the Watford triple....but a bit nervous about it.

Very reliant on Watford then but if you have Amat you're looking at 2 points max if Deeney & Holebas goes well. I'd go Capoue.

I didn't even consider Leicester but I may bring in Schmeichel now for Foster. They don't seem to give a **** about the league but even still, you'd be expecting around 3 cleansheets for those 6 games.

I'm finding it a tad mad that people think Liverpool have a good chance of a clean sheet this weekend.

They are pretty poor at set pieces and playing a team that love trying to score from set pieces.

WBA have scored in 4 games running, potentially a record for a Pullis team.

Can't last!

Thinking of Fuchs for Baines so adding a few bonus and an assist or 2 hopefully.

It's fun to Fuchs.

@Cartman: I think your team is fine and you can bank it this week. Not great keeper wise but I have the same pb and haven't yet found a solution...

@mectavba: depends if you want to spread risk or go for it. With the former you can hope for a hypothetical Swansea strenghtening at the back and play Amat (such that if your Watford duet fails at least you'd have a consolation CS) or a Puncheon awakening (unlikely with Leicester home defensive form). With the latter you go for the less worse (more suitable wording than best considering Capoue late form) option on paper if you did not own Deeney.

As for me. Plan was to cash in on Jaku and get Grant for a couple of GWs. Still worth it? Or am I better going with Pickford? I don't fancy WB next 3 games so the plan was to get a cheapie for that period. Grant is perfect for that (hul, SWA, whu). Butland is expected to return in 4 games time. But then I'm left with a probably non playing sub-keeper. Pickford fixtures aren't as good (whu, ARS, bou) but he's first choice so a priori long-term.

Or now that I've lost my £0.1m profit from Jaku, am I better ditching Foster (WB only got 2 CS so far) but with only £0.4m ITB there's no outstanding replacement.

Other transfers. Cashing in on Capoue who's probably dropping tonight (if he follows Jaku footsteps). But no idea for who. Or ditching Rashford. Austin & Wilson of form but their respective fixture this GW aren't appealing and United next 2 are good.

Thinking of bringing in Pogba for sterling? Love to hear people's thoughts

aagghhh....can't decide if my squad is ok & stable or if i need to do something drastic Any feedback, words of encouragement, advice much appreciated....

Foster Jakupovic

Valencia VVD Vertonghen Amat A.Smith

Mané Lallana Eriksen Walcott Capoue

Lukaku Benteke Agueroooo


Latest thinking is Eriksen to Allen which would leave me with enough funds for Benteke to Costa next week.

Been disappointed with Eriksen since WC - 1 assist, a couple of blanks and a no show since i got him in. Allen is on form, cheap and has nice fixtures I guess but I fear I've probably missed his very unlikely hot streak.

Not sure what else to do (if anything) - a Stoke defender is tempting but happy enough with my Triple V Force defence...I think. Pieters/Cameron are appealing but not sure who to move on to make way for them.

Anyway sorry for rambling -- 2nd season playing this game properly and it's starting to drive me mad (in a good way )

Roll the FT assuming a Capoue fall in price doesn't affect your plan.
A 4.3M fifth mid looks a goer with your 4th and 5th defs.
