GW23 transfers

I'm annoyed I don't have Costa now, but this time yesterday we didn't even know if he'd start the game so can't be too disappointed I guess. With the next two games against Liverpool and Arsenal I'll probably get Kane in for Defoe and switch to Costa in two weeks time when Spurs play Liverpool and Chelsea have Burnley. Will prob downgrade Hazard to Carroll to get Lukaku in as Hazard for all his points this season so far never seems to get me more than a couple.

Giroud - Costa

Long term yes but it's kind of a difficult one with fixtures

Giroud at home to Watford next week.

Costa away to Liverpool.

That said, Giroud isn't guaranteed nailed on is he, and that Liverpool defence is leaking goals.

Probably hazard out. Held onto him longer than I should've for the hull game.

I'm thinking the same now. Alli would be ideal but I'm wondering if it's a bit late now and whether I've possibly missed the train.

Lallana to Alli done, fixing the mistake of not including him in wc.

I'd go for it. Spurs have some good fixtures coming up and he has form.

Shedite27 · 22-01-2017 07:22PM

After watching this weekends games, I'm thinking Hazard has to go before Lallana. Costa is the Chelsea player to have.

Hogey007 · 22-01-2017 07:22PM

Thinking hazard out and would like Costa back.

I have exactly enough to do this for -8

Hazard, lovren & Rondon out, eriksen, Holgate Costa in

Or this for -4
Hazard, Rondon out Pedro Costa in.

Which sounds better. I'd like the first one myself.

First one for me. Pedro too inconsistent and always subbed around the 70 mark.

Not a fan of him as a player in 'real life' either so wanting him to do well kills me! :pac:

Shedite27 · 22-01-2017 07:26PM

Also, I presume people realize there's League Cup semifinals, FA Cup round, and the end of the transfer window before the next games. We'll also know who has blanks in GW26 and GW28 by then. Lots of things will change. If ever there's a week to hold the transfers till late, this is it.

Again I'm laughing that I'm the only nutter who will probably take Costa out for a few gameweeks while everyone else brings him in

Costa to Ibra looks like money for me this week. It's Kane or Costa and I just think Kane will have a couple of better gameweeks and with me having a generally settled team I can afford to switch around between strikers as I see fit.

My frontline is Kane,Zlatan and Giroud,yes Costa scored today but he'd be expected to at home to Hull.The 3 strikers in my team have better fixtures in the next GW.Chelsea at Anfield could be a tight cagey affair.

I'm in the same boat with the 2 mids and agree re. Costa.
I think I have to wait on him though with Liverpool and Arsenal to come. Happy to play my front 3 this week. (Gray Zlatan Kane)

I think I'll be doing Daniels and Defoe to Francis and kane with my 2 f.ts.

Smith is close to a drop but may come too late for you.

On second thoughts, it's too early in gameweek with cup matches in between to take a -8. Not sure if I'd want both eriksen & Alli (who I already have) and I can afford 1 hazard drop before it effects me.
Will leave it a couple if days and reassess it.
Also Re Costa, Liverpool, arsenal burnley and BLANK could be the next 4 gameweeks.

Costa won't have a blank in 26 its 28.

spock. · 22-01-2017 08:42PM

Hazard out for sure.

Not sure who I'll bring in but it'll probably be boring Eriksen.

dahat · 22-01-2017 08:43PM

Original Plan was to do Ali to Carroll then Barnes to Kane and switch to 343.

Now I'm not sure of relying on Pedro for Chelsea cover, Costa definitely on the radar but his next 2 plus lack of bonus pts at time is concerning .

Iused2likebusts · 22-01-2017 08:45PM

I haven't owned Costa all season and still don't have the urge to.

Your faith in Pedro is admirable but he does make me anxious, needs to deliver just a little more.

Ah cheers, that significantly changes things. Cheers.

Hazard & Holebas - > Alli & Rose for me. No hit.

He's doing fine for his price, if he was 8-9m I'd be concerned.
He looks to be on all corners and indirect free kicks while Cesc isn't playing which should be worth a few assists.

Hopefully he nicks a few more points in the coming weeks to ease my fears.

Cartman78 · 22-01-2017 09:13PM

Won't be doing anything for a while but current musings seem to be revolving around West Ham players and getting rid of Giroud.

I swore I'd never go near Carroll after last seasons TC DGW snafu but you'd have to fancy him on form and up against Stones, Bravo & Co.

The cash saved would allow me to get rid of Capoue (or Lallana) for Antonio

Exact same. Not sure for who though!

Sanchez Alli Iwobi De Roon
Ibra Aguero Barnes

My other attacking options. It lacks Liverpool & Everton coverage and will lack Chelsea too!

Would like to do as soon as to avoid price drop

He is only 7 million. I think the key is to forget what Costa is delivering and compare him to the other midfield options at 7 million. Once he keeps getting starts I'll hold him.

We'll know the GW26 blanks but not the GW28 ones. The FA Cup 5th round draw will make it a whole lot clearer though, and if Hull don't beat Fulham in R4 we'll possibly have 1 more definite fixture.

But fully agree, always a man for an early transfer but I'm 100% doing nothing till I see that Cup draw and can put together a proper GW26/28 plan.

Pulled the trigger and got Kane and funes moris in. Hopefully FM keeps his place a nice fixture in gw26 and gw28.
