Gameweek 26 Transfers.

Mane & Costa with Zlatan out and a mid of some sort.

I'm staring down the barrel of a wildcard decision tonight after a few team selection missteps in the last couple of weeks.

Currently looking at going from:

De Gea (Jakupovic)
Baines, Coleman, Walker (McAuley) (Kingsley)
Alli, Eriksen, Iwobi, Phillips (Coquelin)
Defoe, Ibrahimovic, Lukaku
£0.9m bank

to

De Gea (Jakupovic)
Coleman, Walker, Funes Mori (Yoshida) (Wilson)
Sanchez, Alli, Sigurdsson, Morrison (one of Caroll, Whelan, Oviedo or Coquelin)
Ibrahimovic, Lukaku, Gabbiadini
£0.0m or £0.1m depending on the last midfielder

Thoughts, suggestions, other?

I don't think there could be a worse week to wildcard than this one tbh
You do know man utd man city Arsenal and Southampton have no game next week right

I do, but unfortunately the potential for price rises means it's almost a case of now or never.

Phillips has brought in little more than appearance points in the past 5 weeks while my two spurs midfielders are tying up almost £17.5m and averaging around 3 pts a piece over the last 3 or 4 games.

Step away from the computer. Seriously

I have zero money tied up in Sanchez. About .2m in koscielny. 0.6m in Kane and 0.2m in Zlat. Pogba and Erikson dropping tonight. 2 free transfers. Do I take price drops or sell Pogba and Erikson for Hazard and Morrison? Do I keep Sanchez and zlat or Kane with the money I have tied up. As in I sell Kane I get 10.5 I think but he's around 11 to get back

You wait until after cup games next weekend !

Have 1 FT & 2.2m itb
Only Jesus in my team who draws a blank next week but don't really want to sell him so will probably just drop him on to the
Most likely will be banking but will wait until after the cup games and see if anyone is injured who I need to transfer out - if I do make transfer it won't be until after the cup games

Does anyone still have Daniels? May as well keep him for 28 and 29 at this stage, he owes me :mad:

Seriously. This thread should be locked till after the FA Cup games.

I love a bit of team value myself but Jesus!! (not the man city one)

And to the wildcard guy. DONT.

I have exactly the right amount of money ITB to do transfers I'm considering.

Those FA cup games are heavily stacked in favour of Premier League sides and many league regulars will get a rest so although there is risk there it is mitigated.

There is a chance the likes of Ibra and Sancez will drop 0.3 between now and FA Cup next weekend - which could be a loss of 0.4m depending on when you bought them. The likes of Pogba or Ozil who are already at cost price could lose 0.3m. The difference early transfers could make to TV coming into wild card season is huge.

Can you afford the other 3 if you don't do siggy in for pogba? If you can I'd leave that one until the following week so you're only doing a -4, Siggy is away to Chelsea and assuming you have 11 starters probably not worth the extra -4.

If you can't afford it without him them I'd go for it. I took a logical -8 last week too and as you point out, hazard gives you a captain in gw26, brunt and Coleman have very nice fixtures in gw26 along with a game in gw28 & siggy will be a must for gw28.
So if you look at your -8 over a 3 week period it should return you more than the 8 you lost.

Cheers - your backing up my logic

Yeah I need the Pogba money plus he is falling in value. I only have 6/7 players for GW28 so would probably end up taking that hit then if I didn't take it now.

Even with that sound logic -8 is a wrench! Don't remember taking one before..

Yeah my -8 was my first of this season and not sure if I took one last season at all but sometimes needs must. With united, city, arsenal and Southampton not playing in gw26 I think a lot will be taking hits so a -8 for next week might be just equivalent of a -4 in a normal week and there will def be lots if hits for gw28 or else people only playing 4 or 5 players so if you're getting in ahead of that with a -8 this week and then requiring no hit for gw28 you'll see the rewards there also.
I think given the fixtures of hazard brunt & Coleman you could very easily see your -8 covered in gw26 with the extra points you gain but if not, you're set up for gw28 anyway barring some bad luck with injury/suspension so a justified -8

Very early to be considering transfers given the FA cup games but for you guys is value the over-riding thought behind keeping Ibra and Sanchez this week?

Allow me to think out loud and weigh up my options since its Sunday, I'm bored and have had too much coffee .:) ... I have both Sanchez and Ibra but have next to no money tied up in them (was late to the party with both) so thinking about a short term punt and maybe taking a -8 to get them and Benteke out for the likes of Kane/Costa/8.8mid perhaps Erikson?

As it stands I'd still have up to 8 for GW 28 with Foster, Brunt, Coleman, Amat, Siggy, Lukaku, Phillips and Stanislas.

Probably madness, but looks like they will all drop so could get them back for cheaper than I have them for right now and a decent return in GW 26 could negate the points hit if any of them score well. Could keep Benteke of course and take a -4, but he's hemorrhaging value and scoring f*ck all and I hate him.

Could also bank and sill field 11 this coming week but the devil on my shoulder says where's the fun in that.

I was going to hold sanchez but I only have 0.2m tied up in him and with 2 blanks and liverpool away in 3 GWs it just makes sense to ship him for the three weeks the more I think about it. I can sell him for 11.6 now, and I imagine he will be close enough to that when I want to get him back in for GW29, if not even lower. It's a lot of money to have tied up for 2 blank GWs in quick succession if you don't have a lot of value tied up imo.

So hazard was awful today .........

Apart the goal against Arsenal, haven't seen anything from him over the last few weeks to persuade me to get him back in.

I'm now thinking Sanchez to Pedro and then Alli to Sanchez in 3 weeks

All depends on FA cup though
Spurs losing changes things

Also considering mane

Why would you not sell Sanchez instead instead of alli this gw.

I don't plan to sell Sanchez at all as I've had him since very early and have made a lot on him.

Iused2likebusts wrote: »

Oh you said you will sell Sanchez in your op though.Had him all season myself I reckon he will be 11.6 max by the time I get him back get 11.4 for selling now.

Ah, apologies you're right I was meant to edit that out as I changed my mind when I saw what I bought him for originally :pac:

His home form is consistent though.. returns in 8/12 games. Has produced against the minnows particularly - next 3 home games are Swansea, Watford and Palace.

Would love to get Robbie Brady in, on set pieces and only 5.5 million

And surely as their new most expensive player he is going to be starting every game, after scoring that goal
