    Need to get Kane back but for Firmino or Aguero?
    Also: Lingard to Arnie

    The first question is one of the reasons I held off
    Aguero our will be the sensible move all things considered
    But for me with Sanchez I could possibly have all 3 and I may well go that way
    I’ll see how Wilson goes tomorrow first but it’s under serious consideration


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,654 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Time to cash in on Otamend. VVD in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,831 ✭✭✭shineon23


    Ill be spending the next fortnight courting every goalkeeper in the league that isn't Jordan Pickford.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,595 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    Be looking to bring in Arnie. Although I'm happy with Shaqiri and Mikhi so not sure


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,288 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    Is Walcott worth having at all?

    Maybe Arnie in

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,607 ✭✭✭caviardreams


    Thinking of giving Wally one more chance before switching for Arnie as he plays Liverpool away next so can't see him being explosive.

    Otamendi is more of a priority I think - half thinking of a punt on Shaw or Chilwell or...?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,941 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Stones 100% out, don't know who's coming in yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,736 ✭✭✭Bleating Lamb


    Why are people selling Otamendi?....is it the tough fixtures City have coming up?


  • Registered Users Posts: 270 ✭✭sanket


    Why are people selling Otamendi?....is it the tough fixtures City have coming up?
    Yes two tough fixtures,city conceeding in 5 out of last 6 games and could be rotated


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,254 ✭✭✭✭km79


    The beauty of bringing Sanchez in on WC is I can upgrade Wilson to kane with my 2 FT
    Sanchez to any mid of 5.7 down
    I'll wait till after cup games but if bournemouth have a game in 31 and I sell Wilson then I'll probably get ibe
    Would also have exact amount to upgrade Andy king to JWP but that's probably an extra transfer I don't need
    VVd for Jones also on agenda soon

    You don’t get 2 FT after a wildcard.

    I didn’t wildcard this week
    I banked my transfer
    Wildcarded last week

    Do i really need to get Aguero bk in now? He destroyed me yesterday but I'm not sure on getting him with CL back in play.

    I actually thought myself the time had passed when I missed his first hat trick
    If Kane had better fixtures when I wildcarded I wouldn’t have had aguero
    Just get him
    It’s easy to downgrade

    I think you need to have him in until Jesus is back training.My guessing is that he plays the CL match this week and then he will get a half for the FA cup and then will get the whole game against Arsenal and he could do serious damage there.

    Lingard to Shak, no brainer

    Beam me up Scotty.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,654 ✭✭✭✭machiavellianme


    Sanchez to anyone. Possibly kdb.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,277 ✭✭✭danganabu


    So whos getting Dubravka in? Fixtures not great but looked very impressive today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,254 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Sanchez Wilson out
    Kane and budget mid in
    Also maybe jones to Vvd
    All depends on cup fixtures

    Do I really need Kane?
    Hard to get rid of Firmino or Aguero on current form....Alonso to a 4.1m defender gives me enough to do Ayew to Kane but then I'd still have Lingard

    You need Kane
    He could / should have had 3 yday
    Check fixtures

    I'd say you do. Then again, I've had him all season :D

    I was waiting for Bobby or Kun to have a bad game to make the decision easier but it hasn't happened!
    Liverpool have a guaranteed GW 31 fixture too.

    If Alonso is dropped tomorrow I might just go budget defense and have the bog 3 up front like yourself

    Pogbout Walcout Wilson out

    Hmmm Wild Card?

    Although I’d keep 5 attacker’s I still think I’ll WC because most of them are not differentials anyway

    Salah Kane Aguero Sterling

    I'd be tempted to drop Pogba if I had him because of the erratic game time but wouldn't be thinking a hit for the other two never mind wildcard pondering. They've both a decent fixture next week?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,778 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    I haven't been paying any attention to the cup games and possible blanks, So looking to see what is my best transfer for next GW. I have 1 FT and 4.2m in the bank.

    Adrian, Elliot
    Rudiger, Dunk, Simpson, Francis, Yoshida
    Sterling, Salah, Walcott, McArthur, Lingard
    Aguero, Kane, Wilson

    Those in bold need to go, though I think some are more of a priority than others, ala Lingard and Yoshida. Is it after this weekend that we have a better idea of blanks and DGW's?

    I'm thinking possibly KdB, Firmino, or Arnie/Shaq

    I really don't think Wilson needs to go. He is 6 million. He has a ppg of 4.4 niasse and gross are the only two attacking players with a higher ppg than him. He is going to be inconsistent as he doesn't play for a top 6 team . Best attacking option for his price IMO. I'd only sell if going top heavy in strike force.

    1st up.

    Against my better judgement I'll be wining and dining Karius for Valentine's Day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,063 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    If you were to pick any player to triple captain next gw who would it be? Thinking Salah myself


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Experiment over. Mane to Salah is the easiest decision I’ll make all season.

    Want to get VVD in too and would love to sell Daniels. No fcuking idea why I brought him in 3 weeks ago. The prospect of him playing in 28 swayed me I think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,520 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Might finally lose Ederson for the GWs until a likely WC in GW32. One who plays in GW31 preferably so waiting for cup games.

    Maxed out on Liverpool so strangely I'm drawn towards Pickford....

    2 weeks ago I went for Sanchez and Wilson instead of Aguero and Milijvojevic

    Is it too late to correct that mistake ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 270 ✭✭sanket


    Lookin at VVD for pool's next two fixtures against otamendi and feels like the right decision. Would loose a good amount of team value. Pool also have a guaranteed gw31 i guess. If i sell otamendi now ill get 6 and could easily get him back for 6.3/4 by gw32.would give me funds to upgrade walcott/Mkhi

    I won't be getting Otamendi back in after I sell. City are leaking a goal a game as it is so how many are they likely to concede when rotation kicks in and they have the league pretty much sown up already. VVD is the better short and long term pick now I think.

    I wouldn't be planning on getting Otamendi back if you sell him. They could have the league won by the end of March and focus could be totally on the CL at that stage.

    I'm very likely going to make this move, but as has been pointed out, buying him back is probably not wise. I love Otamendi, he's been an absolute trooper for me, got him at 5.5 early on and he's been brilliant, but there's a strong argument to let him go now.

    The first one, as you point out, is that he's an enabler for VVD who has great fixtures now leading into BGW 31. City will almost certainly blank in GW31 and the fixtures leading up to that will likely not produce a lot of cleanies.

    Then after this point you're hitting a point of the season where City essentially have the league won, but have big fixtures in the CL and FA Cup. Otamendi has barely had a rest all season due to Stones / Kompany injuries and Pep not trusting Mangala. You now have Laporte signed and more options in CB. Pep has not had the luxury to rotate here, but he will post-GW 30 or so now that he has the options to do so and the league is decided.

    Otamendi has been superb, his ability on the ball to make passes between the lines is central to City's dominant possession play and I believe Pep views him as his number 1 defender. I therefore think that you will see him used in the big CL games, and in the lesser PL games other options may be used.

    So for those reasons it's with a heavy heart that I almost certainly bid adieu to the Otter for the season this week. He's done a superb job but there seems very little reason to keep him at this point.


  • Registered Users Posts: 713 ✭✭✭loadwire


    Pretty sure I'll also drop Otamendi this GW, mainly to free up funds for Wilson-> Firmino. I have just enough for:
    Ota->Dummett
    Son->Arnie
    Wilson->Firmino

    Would give me a front 3 of Kane/Kun/Firmino. I haven't checked this statistically but it feels like the top clubs were keeping a LOT more clean sheets in the first half of the season. For the rest of the season I think i'll be going for cheaper options in defence and trying to get as many big hitters in midfield and attack. Rotation is a worry obviously but as long as everyone's playing I won't mind if Ibe or Milo or whoever sub in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,520 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Think I have something in my eye. I never owned Otamendi but he seems like he was a really nice fella to own :(

    What's the thoughts on Mahrez? Will he regain that form?

    Need a MF under 8.7m as a Firmino makeweight


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,826 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    How is Ben Davies fixed at Spurs? Is he likely to be rotated with fixtures starting to pile up again?
