GW28 Transfers

Mint Sauce · 04-03-2017 2:07pm #1

Although I have had glances at it, am having my first proper look now.

8 players, not as bad as I thought.

Could either be a bank, or a WC.

KevIRL · 04-03-2017 2:10pm

Wildcard activated

thewools · 04-03-2017 3:19pm

Zlatan out anyways

bantee · 04-03-2017 3:37pm

Lukaku in for Ibra and probably a Liverpool mid in for Hazard.

Shedite27 · 04-03-2017 5:01pm

Pre-wildcard punt time

Or hold and punt with 2 free next week and WC GW30.
I've 6 with Phillips and no Lukaku and Ibra with a cloud hanging over him.
A few scenarios to run through.....

Mike Ehrmantraut · 04-03-2017 5:52pm

Thinking Llorente in, just a matter of if it's for Ibra or Aguero

extra gravy · 04-03-2017 5:54pm

The plan was Aguero to Lukaku but may ditch Ibra instead. Phillips to Grosicki also on the cards.

Depending on how much breathing space I have pound wise I'll be taking 4/8 pt hit to tidy up team
Lukaku back in Anyway too dangerous not to next week
Then chambers out for maybe olson
Phillips to Brady/grosicki if he isn't fit
Wouldn't mind llorente too but if i sign Olson I'll have 3 swans already

Father Hernandez · 04-03-2017 5:58pm

Benteke out. Why I still have him I don't know.

Llorente in

Cartman78 · 04-03-2017 7:09pm

Zlatan to Lukaku.

Should have 9 or 10 for next week....the fact that they are all useless is irrelevant at this point in time :-)

PARlance · 04-03-2017 7:10pm

Llorente & Mane in

spock. · 04-03-2017 7:15pm

Firmino and King in for Sterling and Sane is the plan

Hogey007 · 04-03-2017 7:32pm

Plan all along was sterling to firmino, only have exact amount.

If ibra I'd suspended I might bring in llorente.
If that happens I'd then have the cash to finally get rid of Amat for one of the cheap hull defenders. He did give a glimmer of hope with his 1 point cameo today though.

q2ice · 04-03-2017 9:40pm

Sanchez to Sigurdsson done.

That brings my player count for next gw to 9 (10 if Diomande plays )

Looks like that will be above agerage.

Edit: Anyone have any idea when the double gameweeks are set to happen?

Gameweeks 34 and 37 for definite with one other gameweek likely due to cup commitments for some teams.

dsmythy · 04-03-2017 11:36pm

Sterling out as planned for somebody with a game unless he plays like a man possessed while others wallow.

Probably one other too for a hit. Definitely Zlatan if he gets banned for the gameweek before next GW deadline.

ThunbergsAreGo · 04-03-2017 11:39pm

Sterling and Kun to

Lorente and Firmino or Mane

dahat · 04-03-2017 11:44pm

Sane to maybe Antonio and 1 other transfer to give me 9 for the gameweek.

Sooner or Later · 04-03-2017 11:50pm

Only have six at the moment so a minus four to get that up to eight is likely

CSF · 05-03-2017 12:26am

Considering something like Kun and Ibra to 2 from the 3 of Afobe, Llorente and Carroll. At least that way I'm not using up value unnecessarily in GW28, and could probably do something like Traore and Snodgrass to Sanchez and Hazard in GW29, if that was what I wanted to do.

FHFC · 05-03-2017 12:50am

Dammit. Who'd have thought Tom Carroll as an ideal cheap 5th mid would cause problems when you want to go for the old Swansea treble up!

Had just about decided I'd get Llorente for Ibra till GW30 till I realised I can't.

Iused2likebusts · 05-03-2017 1:41am

My plan was always 2 liv mids currently have none.A -8 incoming.

extra gravy · 05-03-2017 1:43am

Hmm hadn't really thought about selling both Ibra and Aguero but it would allow me to do Phillips to Sanchez in 29 and would give me 10 for 28. Llorente and Lukaku in maybe.

CSF · 05-03-2017 1:46am

Lukaku is almost a must this week I think.

miller82 · 05-03-2017 11:07am

theres something very unsettling about the thoughts of getting 2 liverpool mids

any suggestions of a good replacement for capoue....same price range

Josh King

miller82 · 05-03-2017 11:25am

looking at a few scenarios....any thoughts :

Option 1

Aguerro ----> Llorente
Capoue ----> King

Option 2

Aguerro ----> Llorente
Sterling ----> Firms (have Mane)

Option 3

Stones ---->Suggestions ???
Capoue ----> King

Option 4
Stones ---->Suggestions ???
Sterling ----> Firms (have Mane)

or any other combination of the above

PARlance · 05-03-2017 11:51am

I'm holding fire on Aguero. If he explodes over the next 2 then he'll be back in the fixture proof category.

(Helped by Sanchez situation, Ibra upcoming suspension)

clairewithani · 05-03-2017 12:20pm

I was planning for GW28 but the DGW this week threw my plans a bit askew. I have only 5 and one of those is Phillips. Could take hits but i would want to be pretty sure of returns so not sure what to do.

Kankan14 · 05-03-2017 12:41pm

Only have 6 players. Still in fantasy cup. Should I qualify, would anyone recommend wildcarding to get to eleven?

Very much short term gain. If you are in a monthly prize league or somehow think the 11 that you get for the next week are long termers then go for it. Personally i would be going for a week punt or changing someone like ibra that could have a ban incoming. Wildcard to shape your team for the run in with dgw in mind

COH · 05-03-2017 2:24pm

Been hovering endlessly around 250k this season so thinking about taking some chances since feck all to play for really.... a probable -12 of

Kone > Baines
Sterling > Coutinho
Aguerro > Llorente
Stanislas > Firmino

Would mean a full squad for GW28 of:

Foster
Baines/Brunt/Coleman
Phillips/Firmino/Coutinho/Mane/Siggy
Llorente/Lukaku

So triple Pool, triple West Brom, triple Everton and double Swans... Then a wildcard soon after!

When will you know your opponent? I've never concentrated on the cup because I never had a run in it. Does it go to the end of the season meaning you'll have 10 H2Hs to go when chips will be in play almost every week?

Get the "essentials" Siggy Lukaku, (I'm been stubborn with Lukaku atm but he's one of the main captain choices) Liverpool mid and Coleman. If you have them I'd not go beyond a -4. Good Luck

Not for me. I've never had any success trying to make gains like that from a BGW.

You're going all in, taking a big hit and using your WC to have maybe 3 or 4 more players than average. Not to mention the fact that all your eggs are in a couple of baskets.

Far more advantage from the WC around the DGWs where you can use it to have 3 or 4 more players x2.

If your needing to WC to fix your team do that, but not after a -12. Patience would be my advice. 250k far from terrible at this stage. A run to the top 10k or above is well in your grasp.

You're probably right - combination of stagnant season and whopper hangover does bad things to a mans mind. Logging out of fpl until the mist of stupidity passes

Yeah don't do it. Minus 12 is nuts. The best players in the game rarely take hits never mind minus 12s. Hits seem pretty popular on this forum but you rarely hear of the hits that go tits up only the ones which work out - patience is the percentage choice about 90% of the time. If you're making the correct transfers each week then you'll be unlucky needing to take a minus 4. Makes sense for weeks like this (DGW) to take a hit but the odds are against you basically every other week imo.

Wouldn't know opponent until two days before that gw starts AFAIK. My 6 are fairly frail only really firmino I'd be happy with no lukaku siggy or Coleman. So I'm thinking 4 sub's shaped towards dgws and my team heavily featuring both Liverpool and Everton.
There's still gonna be 2k players left after this gw in cup. Looks very likely I'll go through unless Costa (my opponents skipper) goes bananas. So not overly concerned with the cup yet. I have two money leagues to be concerned about so I'd need to keep practical for those rather than trying to win 10 more h2h on the trot.

eagle eye · 05-03-2017 7:12pm

Just did Eriksen to Mane and I still have a free transfer. At this time I only have 7 players but I'm finding it hard to pick out someone worthwhile to bring in. I might just stick on 7 and have two FT's for gameweek 29.

Shanotheslayer · 05-03-2017 7:28pm

PVA out. Coleman In
Sterling out. Firminho IN
-4

9 playing ( 10 if Holgate plays)

8 if Phillips doesn't play

Calvin · 05-03-2017 7:45pm

Ibra to Lukaku
Amat to Fernandez

Have 7 starters now. Tough choice for my wildcard...Llorente or Aguero.

F1ngers · 05-03-2017 7:48pm

Banking, have nine starters next week.

domrush · 05-03-2017 8:03pm

Has Stan been dropped entirely lads? And Philips?

My 6 are FM, Brunt, Phillips, Fraser, Mane and Siggy.
My FT will probably be Ibra to Lukaku and keep him for next 2 games. (Still considering alternatives such as banking and 3 transfers next week etc.)
I'm WCing soon (and out of Chips) and he's unlikely to be in. Others WCing later may consider Lukaku less or have a planned transfer and this goes for many players atm.

As far as the -12 my first reaction is don't.
Second reaction is if your taking out a blanker (who you don't want again) and getting a "keeper" then why not?

Agree iwth this - in a sense if you don't have 11 starters a 4 point hit is probably only a 2 point hit at worst (given they'll get 2 points just for starting) if it's a mid or striker you indeed on keeping, and with the possibility of extra attacking points.

Neamhshuntasach · 05-03-2017 8:52pm

Probably Aguero back to Lukaku and Sterling to maybe Barkley or perhaps Firmino. Or might finally take care of Stanislas and bring in King. Don't want a city midfielder due to rotation risk so could take care of Sterling to Alli again or Eriksen in GW 29.

clairewithani · 05-03-2017 9:03pm

Thinking of -8 to get in Lukaku, Firmino and Olssen. That would give me 7, 8 if Phillips starts. Madness? I would be selling PVA and Benteke so that is fine but Alli to Firmino worth another -4?

normanoffside · 05-03-2017 9:11pm

I'm have 2 Swansea and Everton players, also have 2 West Brom if Phillips is fit and Mane to add to that so I currently have 7 who might start.

Looking at the fixtures beyond GW28, West Ham appear to have decent prospects so the decision will be which of theirs to bring in?
I will probably need to get rid of Ibra if he is banned but would Carroll be too risky?
Other considerations would be to bring in Antonio for Phillips (if he is confirmed out) or a West Ham defender for Chambers...
Anyone have any idea of the Best Hammer to bring in?

Id prefer not to wildcard immediately after the Blank week so whoever I bring in will need to stay in the team for a few weeks.

I would prefer Antonio to Carroll myself but it might be just a personal thing. Every time I had him in my team he was so frustrating.

spock. · 05-03-2017 9:21pm

I'll be getting 11 out with one hit which will be nice:

Jaku
Coleman Baines Daniels Brunt
Mane Firmino Siggy King
Lukaku Barnes

This couldn't be further from the truth. Every situation is it's own animal.
