Gameweek 7 - transfer thread

Digne v aurier ..... Thoughts ??
Thinking about going aurier

Might wildcard a couple of weeks earlier than I've been half planning.

City assets are a pain in the hoop....should have known from last year but fell into the trap again

KWP and Zinchenko. Been another bad day at the office time to clear things up a bit. Think I'll probably take a 4 or even 8 pointer and consider it a mini WC.

Have two. Digne to soy likely to be one of them

Digne to someone cheap. I'll have made the full transition to 5 cheapie defenders then

Taking my first hit of the season to go Zinchenko and Cabellos out for Guilbert and De Bruyne. Leaves me 1mill in the bank to upgrade someone else next week to help turn around a terrible start to the season.

KDB could randomly not play again. I'd be very cautious.

+1 also Sterling has had his rest so hopefully he doesn't get rested again in the short term

Zinc to Ota with the first ft tonight before any price changes. I'll use the second later in the week, probably even treat myself to a -4 as I am having a good week.

Is zinc done now? Will mendy be the regular ?

2 question marks in one post over a premium defender tells you all you need to know
Especially one with very little attacking output

Digne to Otamendi

Digne to Soyunci

good

Not if someone brings in Ota for a clean sheet

Soyuncu

They’ve only kept one clean sheet though. Is he likely to get the odd assist/goal?

Digne, Walker & Robinson

to

Aurier, Bernardo Silva & Soyuncu

For a -4, too kneejerky?

Why all the Soyuncu love? Leicester never strike me as a team that will keep clean sheets. I had Chilwell & Perreira last year and they were awful purchases. No sign of an improvement defensively this season either

What about Pieters? Has 8 more points than Soyuncu and a reasonably good run of fixtures coming up.

Contemplating a mini Wildy for a -8

Digne —> Rico
Robbo —-> 4.6
Cantwell —-> Son
Salah —-> Mane

Really want Son in my team. Only issue is it’s for with Cantwell/Dendonker so funds need to be found. Would prefer to sell the later but 4.4 defenders are poor enough. Thoughts?

Could do for a -4

Digne —> Rico
Robbo —-> 4.6
Cantwell —-> Son

Actually the more I look at it option 2 is better possibly getting rid of Dendonker & going with a 4.4 defender. Sometimes you have to write it down to get a better picture of your madness!!

I still don't have a picture of it. Both options look the same to me, except you have an additional Salah to Mane in option 1?

Soyuncu players for a team managed by Brendan Rodgers, not a man known for having his teams defensively solid.

Watford 38 conceded in 26
Reading 33 in 21
Swansea 97 in 87
Liverpool 153 in 122

Soyuncu doesn’t appear to have that much attacking threat either.

They have good fixtures coming up, but no way I’d rely on a Rodgers defender if you are looking for CS.

Slim enough pickens at that price though. Leicester have a very strong midfield and should dominate possession in their up coming fixtures so reasonable chance of a few clean sheets.

Most already have Lund and Burnley defence covered, the others at that price don't look great. I'd rather have Soy with great fixtures than Bournemouth, Brighton, etc. defence with mixed fixtures tbh.

He doesn’t have much attacking threat but he’s a cheap way into a team that will almost certainly be top 8 this season. Leicester’s fixtures are very good for the next few months so I think Söyüncü is a decent option.

Is Sterling injured or something?....otherwise I don’t see why people are rushing to get rid of him.....he was bound to be rested at some stage.

Ignore GW1, and then tell me if you think Sterling is producing the returns someone his price range should be? I said it before the game yesterday that there are guys in the city team with more double digit scores than him. Kdb and Dilva both have 3 double digit scores. Dilva is nearly 5m cheaper.

It's very easy to justify getting rid of Sterling, many might want Aguero for instance - scored in all 6 game so far this season - could have had 5 yesterday, despite being 5-0 up - Pep didn't throw Jesus on for a game which tells you all you need to know about how many minutes Jesus will get imo.

Will Sterling "punish" the sellers, well he might get a big score, but if the sellers where getting in KdB/Dilva/Aguero then they will probably have got the gains.

The game is about having players at the right time, I have Sterling atm, but getting say Dilva and having near 5m extra to spend, that could open all sorts of opportunities.

Zinc and Haller on the chopping block for me. Maybe otamendi and Abraham in

Would Mendy be too risky? Was gonna get Otamendi but that Watford game was a freak result /performance

Thinking either Digne/Haller to Otamendi/Abraham

Or Digne/Haller/Mount to Aurier/Son/Ayew?

First one for sure. Abrahams in great form and Chelseas fixtures look great. City sure to keep a few clean sheets surely.

Why anyone would consider Ayew is beyond me and Spurs are very hit and miss.
