Game week 17 transfer thread

I really don’t want to get rid of Danny Ings at all, but Tammy Abraham having scored tonight at home to Bournemouth who have lost 5 games in a row conceding 11 goals in the process.

Can I really go without? Alternative striker transfers are not a consideration, before someone proposes that.

Bring in rashford or Tammy for Jimmy? Have kane and Vardy already and martial so maybe that 1 United player is enough

1 united player is arguably too many
But Rashford is the only one if there is to be one
I have Jiminez. I’ll keep him . But I don’t know if I would bring him in
I’d certainly be considering Abraham

Don’t you think James has merit at 6.1 over the Christmas as a cheap safer option, since they don’t really have anyone to rotate him for?

He is prob second best option alright
I think everyone is getting a bit too excited though
City played right into Uniteds hands
It is no coincidence Uniteds best results come against the big teams
Plan A is counter attack
And so is plan B and C and D

There have been many of these false dawns .......Rashford having pens and frees is a plus though
If he continues to do well I might get him in for Jiminez over Xmas

What's the thinking on Pool players now? Anyone at more risk of rotation than others this wkend?

I agree. But a good performance against a supposedly resurgent Everton might raise an eyebrow. I’m at that stage where I’m chasing people who I have very little fear of Christmas rotation with. The United front 3 surely fit that category? Grealish another.

Rashford is certainly rotation proof
Martial has ONCE AGAIN shown he just can’t be relied upon . He will defo miss some random game without warning over Xmas due to “injury “ or “illness “
James will play the vast majority but given the schedule and it’s his first season in the prem I can see him not starting one . Greenwood and perreira can play there as well as Lingard and even mata
He is only 6.1 though and would probably come on anyway

James has only missed 24 minutes of football since coming on in GW1 against Chelsea. I’m not banking on anyone over the Christmas spell, but he’d certainly be in the list of those who I’m not expecting to be rested.

That’s why I think he will be rested !
But nothing major
Maybe won’t start one and sub on for 30
Not the end of the world either way and of course Uniteds squad is so thin taht any injury to any midfielder means no rotation for any of them

Looking at Lucas to Pulisic for a hit

Any thoughts?

Full strength on Saturday. Klopp always mentions a 3 day turnaround as an issue thats when he tends to rotate. It was the exact same for those 3 gws early December last year. 4 days till Saturday so fully expect all the big guns to play. For anyone with a wildcard and looking for a 1 gw punt Gomez is a good option this week.

Tempted by Mount to Grealish. Just not sure whether to wait until after the Bournemouth game

Have to bench 2 out of Kelly, Zaha, Mount, Aurier and Lundstram next week.

Thinking Kelly anyway and... Mount?

Any opinions?

Aurier and Mount/Zaha for me. Not sure Mount will be starting so would prob leave him as first sub

Think I would be starting Kelly over Zaha, Palace currently look far more likely to keep a clean sheet than score and Kelly is always in teh mix for BP's. It's a nice but head wrecking choice to have for sure.

Why do you have Zaha if it’s not to play him in these games?
You brought him in for a reason so you obviously think he’ll score? Then back yourself

Well that lad brought him for a reason

Zaha is the first you start out of Kelly, Zaha, Mount, Aurier and Lundstram, by some distance
