    Lukaku and Firmino out Costa and Siggy in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,747 ✭✭✭Ziegler1988


    Lukaku has got to go now for me!! Is Charlie Austin a good shout at the moment?

    He may not start the midweek PL match coming up in a fortnight or one match in the festive period, but I think he's the best budget striker. Getting so many shots on target, could easily have had a brace today and against Hull. Great fixtures too

    Probably need some informed advice on this one...

    Haven't had Arsenal coverage for a few weeks now and it really came back to bite me today.

    Considering Hazard to Sanchez and Fuchs to cheapie Boro defender for yet another hit. Not too bothered about the hit at this stage and really want to get the Fuchs out. Have Costa for Chelsea coverage and sense that Hazard may be entering a bit of a lull.

    Feedback extremely welcome...funds very tight so may need to pull trigger asap

    Anyone have any reason to stop me doing Lukaku to Kane?

    I think i'll bring in Kane for the next few weeks and reassess after that!

    I know this has been asked before but it's something I always forget!! Say I bought lukaku at 9.0, current value is now 9.8 so value in my team is 9.4. If lukaku drops to 9.7, does he drop in my team to 9.3??

    I've taken -24 over the previous 2 GW's and the intention was to set me up for next 5-8 GW's.

    I fully expected to bank over next 2 GW's barring injury and would've used FT's for cleaning up my bench rather than lose them. Really happy with my team right now and there is nobody I want to get rid of with Walcott being the only one under scrutiny and he is easily replaced with Pedro, Siggy, Mata or Ramsey if needs be.

    Heaton, Pickford

    Alonso, Holebas, Brunt

    Hazard, Walcott, Firmino, Coutinho for (Mane or Pedro)

    Aguero, Kane, Austin

    Amat, Kingsley, Fletcher

    The only place I could possibly spend the 1.9 would be Austin but I like his fixtures.

    I've quite a similar team and took a few hits lately to get it (-24 over 5 weeks).

    Karius/Pickford
    Brunt, Cedric, Holebas, Amat, Cameron
    Sanchez, Hazard, Firmino, Snodgrass, Capoo.
    Aguero, Kane, Austin.

    I'm tempted to go the same way and drop Sanchez to Theo, or Haz to Pedro to enable a bettee balanced midfield and fit in Siggy who I always wanted from GW15 and now cant afford due to Kane.

    Is Walcott gonna continue to be nailed I wonder? As if so I think sacrificing Sanchez, with a 'Winter Break' on the horizon, and enabling upgrading Snoddy and Holebas to Siggy and Alonso for example, would be worthwhile.

    I don't think Sanchez, Aguero, Kane and Haz in the same team is sustainable coming into Xmas. Anyone think different?

    I can get all 4 next week if I sell Kane for zaha
    I'm really not sure about that though as it leaves me with 2 cheap mids and no flexibility
    I have to upgrade bony soon though and he is dropping tonight
    Burnley at home next though ..........Spurs have Swansea though .......could do coutinho to alli.........aaaaggggghhgggghhhh

    Sanchez will miss one PL match max in Dec and Jan unless he gets injured. He's vital for us


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,336 ✭✭✭✭paulie21


    Probably do Wilson to Austin but getting Kane in is tempting me

    Yeah Hazard to Pedro is another strong option I think.

    Having all 4 leaves defence a bit light and 4th and 5th mids weak for Xmas rotation issues.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,790 ✭✭✭Benimar


    Current team is:

    Cech, Jakupovic
    Alonso, Lovren, Holebas, Evans, Amat
    Firmino, Ozil, Coutinho, Allen, Capoue
    Aguero, Lukaku, Defoe

    I'm normally very reluctant to take hits, but 76 points overall in the last 2 weeks makes me feel I need to shake things up.

    Are either of these worth the hit(s) or am I just full of rage after a bad week?

    1. Ozil, Coutinho & Lukaku to Walcott, Hazard and Kane for -4
    2. Ozil, Coutinho, Lukaku and Defoe to Sanchez, Pedro, Kane and Austin for -8?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,054 ✭✭✭wanderer100


    Guys, 1 FT and I need to get rid of Lukaku, Fuchs and most likely Coutinho as well!!!

    Who deserves the boot out this week?? Lukaku is my pick and I'm vary he is going to drop very soon, possibly even tonight. Just want some more opinions!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC

    Will Theo stay in the team u think? If so he's a viable alternative and the cash would bring a chance of significant gains elsewhere.

    Stoke the likeliest rest for Alexis perhaps?

    I'm hoping to bank it this week anyhow as he'll definitely play vs WHU.


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


    Some Sunday night pondering has me thinking this for -4:

    Lukaku -> Kane
    Walcott -> Pedro
    Williams -> Cedric

    It leaves 0.0 in the bank though so would need to do it tonight and a week is a long time in FPL.

    Firminho yellow flagged is also a concern.

    Theo will stay in the team for the short to medium term at least. Today's lineup with Iwobi or Ox on the left should be Wenger's preferred lineup.

    If Sanchez plays against Basel, I wouldn't be surprised to see him benched against Stoke. But in the past, Wenger has put out the reserves in these types of matches where 1st in the group is possible but unlikely. Palace H on 1 Jan looks like a prime Alexis rest match


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,747 ✭✭✭Ziegler1988



    Firminho yellow flagged is also a concern.

    There was better news for Klopp with regards to Roberto Firmino, who suffered a kick to the calf against Sunderland. The forward will not require a scan in that injury, with the problem not thought to be serious.

    I think Sanchez will get his rest after man city away DEC 18 and the game he may miss is wba at home DEC 28. It gives him a nice break and its the type of game giroud cud be useful in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Good to see the Pedro train is starting to take off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,850 ✭✭✭DJIMI TRARORE


    Cout,blind and Deeney out,kun Capoue Brunt in, dont usually react so quick so nearly guaranteed to have 2/3 more flagged by next weekend

    Excellent shout (as usual). By far the most likely scenario.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,989 ✭✭✭Trimm Trabb


    Kane and Hazard in for Aguero and Coutinho.

    Aguero out is a wrench but allows me get Kane this week and Costa next week for their good runs of fixtures. Once Chelsea's run is over can get rid of Alonso and Costa and get Sergio back.

    Deeney to Negredo is likely and perhaps Cedric for a hit.
    WC will be used next week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,303 ✭✭✭Mike Ehrmantraut


    Coutinho to Siggy done and most likely transfer Evans to Cedric

    I like option 2 more than option 1 - I think Sanchez is essential and they have a decent run of fixtures coming up. Austin is a great cheap option up front and Pedro is just Hazard-lite and all of the same impact

    Well Coutinho definitely drops tonight and hes unlikely to be playing any football for the foreseeable future. At least Lukaku is still playing football and if you're not taking any hits, then ship ot the guy whos not playing football.

    Thanks, I'm leaning the same way. I think Sanchez is more essential than Hazard.

    I like Defoe but need the transfer to Austin to fund the rest...unless I do Cech to Forster?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 212 ✭✭Fant11


    Need to make changes tonight due to price changes.

    Zaha, Allen or Moses for 4th mid next few weeks?

    Coutinho to:

    A - Walcott
    B - Pedro
    C - Alli


    Thoughts? Have Hazard, Firmino and Siggy already with Fletcher as bench fodder.
