Gw25 - Transfers

    Struggling with my move this week - as next few weeks is such a puzzle.

    Is one of Hazard or Costa the following week home to Swansea next week GW26 essential for captaincy? I'd be looking at Lukaku (Sunderland H) or Kane (Stoke H) if not one of the Chelsea boys?

    Ignoring Chelsea - Swansea makes everything easier for me but looks like I'd be neglecting the obvious captain choice - thoughts?

    I'm actually really intrigued by Maguire at Hull. Had a lot of shots from long range and headers from corners in the highlights I've seen recently, they're looking a bit solid at the back, no blanks and they're playing for their lives.

    I realise there's cheaper Hull defenders but he's got a bit of attacking threat from what I've seen.

    He's on FFS Jonty's goals imminent table.

    You have 2 good captain options there so I'd say no.
    However gw27 they play each other. Who will you captain then?

    Going to hold Ibra for home to Bournemoth captaincy GW27.

    If I get Siggy instead of Hazard it means I can get Brunt and Coleman in who have form, nice fixtures upcoming and also play game 28 - can only get one if I got Hazard. Siggy also plays GW28 but I as I said I miss out on the Hazard captaincy option in GW26.

    I'm leaning toward foregoing Hazard and going with Lukaku capatin. Chelsea could well hammer Swansea though - and we all know about putting the armband on an in form Lukaku against a minnow so will be a nervous weekend.

    That's my plan too. Probably looking at a 341 formation with no keeper for 28 if no further fixtures are added.

    Keeping Ibra and probably Costa on bench.

    Really struggling with my transfer this week. Have 2FT. With Defoe Kane and ibra up front I'm unsure of who to sell this week for lukaku. Ibra(good fixture this week), kane(good fixture gw26 which zlatan will blank, defoe(form & price rising).

    Potentially looking at Antonio in for Eriksen with an eye on GW 28. This will leave me with 2.6m in bank which I feel will burning a hole in my pocket.

    Tricky decisions next few weeks!


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


    Have transferred out Aguero & Zaha for Lukaku & Siggy leaving me with 1.2m ITB
    Team sits at

    Heaton Grant

    Brunt McAuley Holgate Coleman Amat

    Hazard Sanchez Alli Iwobi Siggy

    Lukaku Ibra Barnes

    Next weeks transfer is Iwobi out for someone playing GW28 given me a bench of Amat, Sanchez, Ibra in GW26 ... risk only fielding 10 if Holgate doesn't play which I doubt.

    Going into GW27 I will transfer out Amat for Maguire.

    Then going into GW28 I will have 1 FT to give me 9 playing players albeit Holgate who looks to have lost place.

    Foster Pickford

    Holebas Coleman Pieters McCauley Friend

    Pedro Alli Sanchez Phillips Clayton

    Kane Ibra Lukaku

    2 FTs, £0.6 ITB. Looking at Pedro and Alli out, Hazard and Snodgrass in. Thoughts?

    I would be planning with the BGW in mind. Would you look at Barkley as oppose to Hazard?


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


    Theres a lot of Snodgrass love.

    I remain to be convinced. He was playing in the hole and central to every attack at Hull. He had all free kicks, corners and while Hernandez was out penalties.

    Noble will be hard to dislodge from the set pieces at WHU so he will have limited involvement there and seems to be set to play a wide role.

    If you can afford Antonio he's a much better option IMO. And I think it remains to be seen if Snoddy is an option at all.

    As a Snodgrass owner I agree. I'd be looking to get rid if he didn't have a game in 28.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,677 ✭✭✭Aenaes


    Foster Pickford
    McAuley Pieters Francis Holgate Amat
    Sanchez Pedro Alli Lallana Stanislas
    Costa Defoe Ibra

    Thinking of Lallana and Ibra out for Siggy and Kane. Seems like a good move for GW28 (is it?) and avoids Ibra's blank in GW26.

    Lads my MF is quite poor, I'd like to strengthen it without changing my defence or attack too much. Any ideas? 1 FT and .4 in the bank.


    Foster Heaton

    Alonso Coleman Walker Friend Browning

    Pedro Alli Stan Phillips Capoue

    Costa Ibra Jesus

    Any ideas? Maybe downgrade Capoue and swap Pedro out for someone stronger?

    I'd be keeping Pedro. Capoue to Carroll and Stan to Snodgrass maybe.

    Why? I've had him for a while now on and off with pretty much no return.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,836 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    I'd do Pedro to Siggy if funds allow it. Pedro's returns have been pretty poor in 2017

    He's been close to the points without getting them. His time will come soon.
    And with Burnley and Swansea up next, no way I'd sell him.

    Stan is playing on gw28 so hold onto him for numbers

    Mirallas > Zaha or Snodgrass? 
    Not much spare cash but Mirallas only got 20mins last week. Both of the above have some easier fixtures in the coming weeks but which one?

    Damage is done with regard to that. Its what you think will happen in the future that matters. I think he will score well once he starts.

    Getting Siggy in is going to cost me 2 transfers (-8) so I might hold off until after Chelsea. Who to move? 0.4m ITB

    A. Azi to Brunt (or similiar 5.1 or less) and Phillips to Siggy 
    B. Ericesson to Siggy and use spare cash to upgrade Philips to Barkley/Antonio/Pedro
    C. Ibra to Lakaku and Phillips to Siggy. 

    Chelsea and Man U have great fixtures. 

    Foster/Jaku
    Mori/Holgate/Azpu/Walker/Stephens(Shptn)
    Philips/Hazard/Ericesen/Sanchez/Watson
    Costa/Ibra/Caroll. 
    0.4m itb

    Can someone set me straight this week.

    Bank or No Bank?

    I would quite like to strike while the Siggy iron is hot and bring him in for either Eriksen or Ali (probably Eriksen) but I would also like to hold onto my transfer this week so I can swap out Sanchez and Zlatan in GW26 for no hits.

    Should I make a move on Siggy now or I am better waiting till after the FA cup round next week, which will provide us with a better picture of the GW28 fixtures? There's a possibility that Fulham could beat Spurs, which would give me two more players for GW28.

    Wait if you can. But track the price rises and if you feel a need to keep the 0.1m move early. Also if you notice Alli or Eri about to drop 0.1m you could be making a 0.2m saving by moving early.

    Excellent points. Cheers.

    I think I'll hold out.

    Lallana>Siggy done.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,836 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    Any suggestions on who to sell Eriksen to? No one really stands out, already have Siggy. No funds in the bank

    I'm keeping him. He's still a good pick.

    Yeah I'm looking at getting him in next week, might be a decent sub for Sanchez

    Debating whether to see Hazard and free up some cash. Team currently
    Jones (have to sell), Alonso, Holgate
    Sanchez, Ali, Morrison, Hazard
    Costa, Kane, Gray
    0.5 in bank

    Have to transfer out Jones due to injury but Hazard for Pedro would free up money

    There is NO WAY I'd sell hazard if I had him in advance of gw26
    I'll be getting him in

    Who are your other defenders
