Hmmm Wild Card?

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?

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.

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

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 ?

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'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.

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

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

He's the most popular signing this week so far, so looks like there are a good number betting on him keeping his place. Sold him only because of rotation myself previously and would have been better holding on to him because he has got more points than the replacement I brought in. He's out of my budget for this week and thinking myself of swapping Jones to Trippier. Does anyone know if Aurier is likely to be coming back in? Also considering getting in Naughton or Fernandez from Swansea? Any advice welcome.

There’s always a massive danger with both Bavies and Trippier. When they start to look nailed on the rotation begins.

Alonso out, VVD in as Davies is risky.

Possible move to Aguero lined up but that involves a total - 8 whereas I could do Sanchez to KDB saving a - 4.

A) Alonso and J Ayew to Mariappa and Kane for -4
or
Alonso, Lingard and J Ayew to a 5.5m Def, Milivojevic and Kane for -8

Option A probably needs to be done tonight (no wiggle room on price) while option B can wait a few days.

Have the WC as backup if I take an early hit and things go wrong.

Postives of Option A = only a 4pt hit, Mariappa plays GW 31
Negatives of option A= leaves a budget defence and useless Lingard losing value

Positives of Option B= a decent defender in place of Alonso and the simplicity of rotating Allen and Mili week on week (Other attackers being Salah, Sterling, Walcott, Aguero, Kane, Firmino). Good chance of Mili playing in GW31
Negatives of option B: losing 4 extra points

Option B
4 pts more is small change.

And despite what I said just 3 posts above, I'll probably bring in Trippier as my Alonso replacement.
Can't resist Trippier :pac:
