GW17 Transfers

Can you post your full team and money ITB? Very difficult to give good advice without that context.

Ederson (don't ask) Elliot

Azpi Mee Tarkowski Femenia Duffy

Salah Sane Shaqiri Townsend Ramsey

Kane Morata Niasse


1FT 1.3m in bank.

Plan currently Ramsey to Fabregas. Would leave 1.5m in bank at weekend. Could be used to lose Niasse or get Hazard if he reawakens again.

Will probably move Vardy on. He's just blanking far too often. Not sure who to get in yet. Firmino looks like the best bet in that price range. Austin maybe? Giroud? They might see a good bit of rotation though.

I'm thinking I may jump on the Austin train and see where it goes but to do that I need to get some funds..

So Moreno ->Kenny/Holgate
Abraham -> Austin

A few people are talking about taking a punt on a midfielder likely to potentially rise twice (Silva, Son, Shaquiri etc.) and then bring Pogba in after his suspension for 7.9 or possibly 7.8 Problem with this is the waste of a transfer at a time of crammed in matches with all the potential injuries/rotations that can bring.

True. Pogba would have been an obvious replacement. I'd say it's likely a lot of people myself included will be forced into a lot of firefighting with our teams rather than being able to enact plans.

Priced it up there...DCL out of my range so would boil down to the likes of Crouch, Hemed, Quaner etc.

Will mull it over....at work so nothing else to think about :pac::pac:

Honestly with that midfield you can afford a 3rd striker who just sits on the bench.

Getting Hazard in would be my priority, it's a very very strong team but lacks Hazard with the form he's in. I would agree with the advice the other poster gave you 100%.

I would much prefer Hazard and a dud to Shaquiri and Vardy. The latter essentially forces you to perma-bench Surman who seems to be giving very solid returns

I fancy Firmino short term for some returns. Giroud could also be worth a punt with Laca out but it's not 100% he starts, they could use Welbeck. Depends how punty you're feeling, if the rest of your squad is robust it could be a great move, Giroud has great returns when given minutes historically.

Longer term I'm not sure I've ever been interested in strikers in that range however for most of this season. Just think you get way better value for that amount in midfield.

Would you at all be interested in going with a cheaper striker and beefing up your midfield? 3-5-2 seems to be in vogue at the moment and would be my choice if I was using a wildy right now

Any United fans want to give their opinion on Smalling? How has he been playing these last 2 months? How has he been historically playing back to back matches?

Is he the safest United cleany option outside of Valencia and DDG? Anything to be said against Dann out for Smalling?

He has done nothing majorly wrong and with Bailly out he will still see plenty pg game time
However Lindelof has been much improved and Rojo and jones are back. He was firmly behind those 2 in the pecking order for the last year.......and there isnt many upcoming games which will justify 3 centre backs being played either. It's making me wonder whether ill bother with jones either. Ill soon have enough cash for DDG .....

Cheers -

Vardy has been bugging me for a while - deffo not the same FPL asset he was a couple of years ago.

Might sign Crouchy for the craic - he can keep Moreno company on the bench over the Xmas

I'm thinking of morata to firmino it will free up money for me to allow me to get kolasanic at the weekend. I now have hazard and would capt him over morata. Im thinking there is a fair chance morata doesn't start tomorrow either.

Yeah I have enough for DDG but the plan was to go for Courtois long haul. It would take quite a few changes to go Courtois to DDG and Dann to Christensen. The latter does seem the better and safer option.

Other option is to avoid United defenders altogether but that seems very risky, they have a nice little run.

May well bank this week as Dann has a nice-ish fixture and then can maybe bring in DDG and Christensen next week. Christy seems relatively nailed on now right?

Christy is as nailed as the rest of them......Conte said a fe need a rest so he may miss one game imo

Jumped the gun early in Sunday and horsed out Rom and Alonso for Kane and Robertson,now Rambo and Sakho r on the injured list

Still a good move to get Kane in for lukaku imo
Robertson would not have been my choice however

I got Gomez in and now think he's gonna be rested

Just pulled the trigger on Vardy & Ramsey out for Hazard & Crouch.

Could still be a total snafu of a GW....Moreno still on my roster, Kiko looking doubtful, and rotation/rest fears over Morata and Richarlison.

Now have a massive captain selection headache as well....Hazard, Kane, Salah and Coutinho all strong options.

Crouch and Surman could yet be unlikely heroes

A - Wilson to DCL(upgrade Richie at wkd)
B - Wilson to Austin
C - Morata to Firmino and A or B for -4 and use funds to do Richie to Son/Mahrez at wkd

B
Richie to Demeri gray at weekend then if you wanted

Would need to see whole midfield though

Strongly considering a Morata and Naughton to Firmino and Valencia also. But is it worth 4 points?

Morata has a good run of fixtures coming up.

I'm considering
Trippier --> Kenny
Ramsey ---> Doucoure
Niasse --> Firminho

For a 4 point hit.
0.7 still in the bank with Doucoure.
Might get Shaq either for 0 in the bank in which case it looks like I'd have to pull the trigger tonight as he's looking like rising overnight.

Leaves me with Kane, Morata and Firmino up front
