    Just did Siggy to Zaha, might take a -4 next week then to prep for the dgw


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


    Transfers made. Llorente, Siggy and Pedro out for Kane, Zaha and Ward Prowse for a -4


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,307 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    I did Barnes, Siggy and Valencia to Kane, Clayton and Holgate for a -4 last night. Thinking I might have jumped the gun a bit on getting Kane in too early but it's done now.

    I really don't know what to do at the minute.

    I've had an eye on Benteke for a good while as a possible differential for DGW34. But Zaha is close to essential so I'd want both.

    I'm tempted to, but probably can't, go without Zlatan for 34 either. As it stands i was waiting an seeing on him and won't get him till after Chelsea. But his haul at the weekend makes him hard to ignore.

    So that would mean going without either Kane or Lukaku.

    I have Wildcard for 35/36 so can get whichever one of them back in for Tekkers if needed.

    Option 1: Vardy & Lanzini to Benteke and Zaha this wk with FTs. Aguero to Zlatan for 34. Risk no Kane for BOU/cry.

    Option 2: Vardy, Aguero, Lanzini to Benteke, Kane, Zaha this week for -4. Next week Siggy to Mhkitaryan perhaps and go without Zlatan for 34.

    Option 3. Siggy & Vardy to Kane and Zaha. Benteke & Ibra in for Lukaku & Aguero next week. Costs me 0.4 to buy Lukaku back.

    Option 4. Get over the whole Benteke thing and play it safe and templatey for 34 cause I'm at 30k and shouldn't do anything stupid. He's off pens apparently and assisting the assist tonight twice.

    If punting Opt 1 probably the way to go and hope Kane does what he did last time we all rushed him in for an easy home game. Ibra and Tekkers for the DGW sounds nice.

    Otherwise opt 4 innnit?

    Long post apologies. :confused:

    I don't like Benteke as an FPL asset because I'm sure he doesn't do well on BAPS. I could be wrong but I've noticed him scoring a few 5's when he's got a goal. Throw in losing penalties and he's a no go for me.

    Siggy and Vardy to Zaha and Kane looks far and away the best option from the choices you've outlined. Not so sure on the second part of that though as I think Lukaku is looking more and more like a keeper. As in a season keeper. Not a goalie.

    Ya if I get over Benteke Option 3 just becomes Aguero to Zlatan for 34.

    I'd much rather sell Lanzini but can't afford him and Vardy to Kane & Zaha. Would probably upgrade him to a punt for 34 also. Could get Andros actually for old times sake!

    I was gonna ask how Lanzini is still in your team but the pressure is off them now, he is playing better than most and they have 3 nice fixtures now. Also seen somebody talk about Andros tweaking something late in that game tonight.

    I'd be thinking along the same lines as Klopparama on this one, Kane and Zaha are my main transfers this week

    Yeah they're the 'obvious' moves, but I'm looking at something a little differential. Stuck around the same rank for weeks.

    But i guess playing it safe is the way to go and look to make progress from the WC & BB.

    I'd prefer to get rid of Lanzini so i may go to-4 as i need to free up 0.3m


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,676 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    Took a minus 4 to do vardy and siggy to zaha and lukaku. Lukaku is looking essential with a good remaining fixtures.

    I'm also tempted by one of Kane, Davies and benteke but I will probably leave it at the minus 4.

    Next week I'll be looking at ibra and Gibson/benteke.

    Undecided what to do for that 3rd spurs spot. Have alli and eriksen. Davies could be a solid option, while also freeing up a striker spot.

    Eriksen and Llorente to Ward-Prowse and Kane.

    Sad to let Eriksen go, but I have Walker and Alli, plus need to free up funds to get Kane. Walker's game time is a concern, but he wouldn't free up enough funds to get Kane in anyway. He gets one more week and hopefully he starts v Bournemouth.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,158 ✭✭✭✭hufpc8w3adnk65


    Mahrez - Albrighton
    Daniels - Yoshida
    Carroll - Zaha / Townsend


    Any thoughts lads?

    For this week alone, id probably go for Kane over Benteke. For GW34 and 35 I think it would be hard to justify not having the Zaha/Benteke double up. Much will also depend on how Leicester stand after their first leg this week. If they're still in with a shout then the Palace game could be a rout.

    It's the Leicester game in 33 that makes me want to try Benteke now tho. I think I'll probably play safe-ish and do Kane and Zaha in and forget Benteke.

    I think I'll take 4 point hut this week and get benteke in for llorente
    Will mean benching king.......

    I was planning on banking this week, but that Palace performance tonight will probably spring me into action. The double up is looking mighty appealing. I won't be getting rid of any of my 3 Spurs this week, so it's almost peaceful not to have to worry about whether I should bring in Kane this week. There's not a hope in hell I'd have captained him even if I was so now Benteke may provide an alternative striker for me to get excited about.

    Sorry in advance for long post (actually didn't turn out to be that long)!

    Currently have:
    DDG, Pickford
    Alonso, Davies, Valencia, Holgate, Chambers
    Sanchez, Alli, Sane, Siggy, T.Carroll
    Lukaku, Aguero, Origi.

    Main rival (who is 6 points behind) has Zaha so bringing him in is a must this week. However, I think Kane could do serious damage this GW so looking at a few options and would appreciate some opinions (note: assuming nothing untoward I'll do Aguero to Ibra in GW34)

    Option 1: Siggy to Zaha for free
    Option 2: Sanchez and Origi to Zaha And Kane (c) for -4
    Option 3: Siggy and Origi to Zaha and Benteke for -4. Probably Lukaku (c)

    Cheers!

    I didn't see last night's game, but were Palace that good that a DGW with Liverpool and Spurs as fixtures is suddenly this attractive? I mean, in 16 gameweeks Benteke has only thrice scored over 2 points.

    I'm ok with benching King this week.
    Spurs are good at stopping the main goal threat from scoring, Lukaku in gw27 is the only time that happened all season.

    Benteke had a couple of decent chances and should have had at least an assist but I'm not sure I'd bring him in myself, I can't see him suddenly going on a goal scoring spree.
    Zaha looked very lively and Townsend played well too, if the three of them keep up their form, they will create plenty of chances.

    I'd keep Lanzini for the Sunderland game at least. He's great value for his price as well.

    I have fond fond memories of a double game week captaincy 2 seasons ago :)
    I think he could score well this weekend
    Better than llorente will anyways

    I would say yes. They were utterly dominant. Particularly with Leicester and Burnley at home providing fairly tasty bread for this double gameweek sandwich.

    The only concern when playing Liverpool is your defenders getting slaughtered. I'd be happy having my attackers against Liverpool. Spurs a different story obviously but all they need do is nick a goal in that one to top the score up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,702 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Just so I know I'm not on some mad train of thought, Sigurdsson is the right person to replace for Zaha and not Son or King (I'm barely even considering this one to be fair but he is the other option), riiiiiiiight?

    Sigurdsson the main man in a misfiring team with a lot to play for vs Son who is in a great team and on form but whose position in the team will depend on them sticking with the formation from the Watford game.

    I did a boring Amat -> Sakho in anticipation of the DGW and being able to play bench boost to its full effect.
