Gameweek 12 Transfer Thread

Fabianski
Mendy, Robertson, Alonso
Salah, Hazard, Fraser, Richarlison
Aguero, Arnie, Ings


Subs: Speroni, Gunnarsson, AWB, Kelly

.1 in the bank.
I have 2 FTs and at the minute the only move that makes sense is Mendy out to free up a bit of cash.

Opinions?

Ive both Sterling and Aguero, I’ll be captaining Sterling between them. I think he’s a viable alternative if you’re only going for one, he’s a phenomenal record

I'm tempted to solve my "how to fund Arnie" problem by downgrading my 4.5m mid to Hudson Odoi.

Future me can deal with the problem of getting 3 outfield starters in the bench.

LOL
Didn’t realize he was 4.2
Nice enabler alright if you aren’t planning on BB
Would needto make sure you have 2 other starters on bench for Xmas period though

Have you 4.3 to spend? Gibbs-White had a good cameo for Wolves yesterday and was on set pieces. Can see him getting minutes at the end of games. One point would be better than none

He was excellent too

I'm conflicted. I want Arnautovic but don't want to alter my team too much. Best way I can think of managing it would be to sell Mitrovic for him and then sell AWB for a crocked Peltier. Not sure if it's worth it though because the gameweek after next sees West Ham home to City, while Fulham have a handy home fixture vs Southampton.

Might instead go with transferring out my budget MF Westwood for Diangana as a low budget way to get into the Hammers' attack. Then go 3-5-2 with Mitrovic benched for Liverpool next week.

Looks like we are in similar positions. I've considered your move but it leaves Mitrovic with another tough game after Southampton.

I've decided against the Peltier for AWB route as I've been burned in the past relying on just 4 defenders. My defence has Mendy and Robertson who could fall victim to rotation so I'm not risking it.

That means for me the remaining best alternative would be Mitro to Arnie, and then sell Brooks for Diangana. Even with Arnie's price rising tonight I can afford this so I'm going to wait for the time being. If Mitrovic impresses tomorrow, I'll keep faith with him; if he blanks then I'm shipping him and Brooks out for the above West Ham duo.

Plan was to sell Ings and Fraser but they both looked good this weekend. I'd be fairly happy to give them both another week and am happy with the rest for the team too. Don't know what to do with the 2fts now

I thought about Ings to Success yesterday but Ings has decent fixtures coming up. Watford & Fulham before United who he could score against.

4 point hit

Edersen -> Ryan
Schurrle -> Sterling
Lacazette -> Arnautovic

I still want 3 city players but I need to get Sterling in. I dont want to lose Mendy, so I guess Edersen is gonna get the chop. Ryan is producing and they have some favourable fixtures coming up so hoping that Sterling outscores Edersen over the next while to make up the difference.

Lacazette out for Arnautovic a week too late to help fund the move


-edit-

Would give me a lineup of

Ryan (Speroni)
Robertson Mendy Alonso (wanB) (Bennett)
Salah Sterling Richarlison Maddison (Murphy)
Aguero Arnautovic Success

Success and Murphy interchangeable week on week

Imagine if they had a mini wild card chip - like get 5 free transfers.

I want Sterling, but I don't want to sell a bunch of players, I can get him with 5 transfers for bang on the money, but only have 1 FT. Sterling is inevitable going to rise this week. decisions to be made.


You also know that Kane is inevitable going to take off at some stage this season and will become a must have.


It's so hard this season with so many midfield players banging in the goals for fun - can't have them all, but need to have as many as you can at the same time.

Actually, this is a bit weird. I do have 4.3 to spend but the app thinks I don't. Anyone ever see this before?

Mobile browser appears to be allowing me to make the change. The app won't and is telling me Hudson Odoi is the only player I can afford.

I only ever use the mobile site, don't trust the app at all.

Made the change last night on mobile browser. Never seen that before on the app. Hope I didn't make some incorrect transfers in the past due to it not realising I had an extra .1m in the bank.

I will do Seri to Mané, far and away the biggest step up in quality I have ever done in a single transfer.

How did you resist the -4 for it last week :eek:

However Sterling now looks like a must have but would have to sacrifice Hazard or Aguero+Maddison for him.

Dumping Kun for him.

It's the most likely route for me to get him in too, Maddison/Aguero to Sterling/Wilson.

Worried though that
- Sterling was dropped home to Huddersfield and Burnley, games I'd likely have captained him.
- I sold Aguero for Kane a few weeks back and regretted it immediately. HE also seems undroppable
- Wilson has Arsenal/City/Pool in the next 5. Is he past his purple patch?
- Maddison has been close to hauls the past 3 games (balls cleared off lines, hit posts etc), so definitely due with nice fixtures coming up.
- However, would be gaining the second highest scoring midfielder and attacker.

Did Mitro > Wilson last night before Mitro's second drop.

Apologies to all - as now that I finally gave in and got him a series of blanks/injuries/suspensions is almost guaranteed

Bye bye mitro.. No cash to bring in Arnie though..
