Game week 17 transfer thread

CSF · 10-12-2019 9:27pm

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.

eh i dunno · 10-12-2019 9:31pm

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

10-12-2019 9:49pm

I'm thinking of Rashford in for Aubameyang given their fixtures.

slimshady007 · 10-12-2019 9:55pm

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

CSF · 10-12-2019 10:07pm

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

Green&Red · 10-12-2019 10:32pm

I wouldn't touch anyone other than Rashford, two games don't make them a good team all of a sudden. They seem heavily reliant on Scott McTominay who is in his first full season, he's bound to hit a wall at some stage

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

I would do it now, I think he might go with the same front 3 as last night as they all played well. CHO and Mount didn't impress when they came on.

Wait til 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?

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.

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

The real mccoy 91 · 11-12-2019 3:38pm

Kane and ozil to rashford/Abraham and son makes sense doesnt it? 2 fts will wait till Friday regardless

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

I don't have, have never had, or will ever have Zaha

But to answer your question, look at the fixtures of all the players he is choosing from, they all have premium fixtures but you can only play 11.

Green&Red · 11-12-2019 5:17pm

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

He actually has the worst minutes per point record of all 5 and by quite a distance, incidently Kelly has the best!

Debating on a transfer of Zaha to Grealish this week to free up funds to allow a double transfer for free of Mane and Mousset to Alli and Rashford the following GW

For GW18 front 8 would be

Alli Son KDB Maddison
Vardy Rashford Abraham

Grealish first sub on bench. I know Grealish is on 4 yellows but I’d have him mostly as first sub over Xmas

CSF · 11-12-2019 7:04pm

Would also be of the opinion that not playing Zaha if you have him this week means you’ve made a wrong decision somewhere.

The wrong decision may be that you have him and don’t actually rate him as an option, but there’s no way you can justify keeping him in your team but not using him in games like this.

extra gravy · 11-12-2019 7:22pm

Sold Jimi last night for Rashford. My thinking was that Rashford has the better fixtures and higher ceiling over the next few weeks. Think I regret it now though, Jimi has never let me down.

Also fear not having Abraham against Bournemouth, could be a big rank killer if he goes off on one.

This exactly, the person asking the question brought in Zaha for a reason, either back that reason or transfer him out.

The sample size of the whole season is ridiculous, players fluctuate and go on runs all the time. I have Zaha for the last three weeks, 15 points over that period. I brought him in cause he has unbelievable fixtures. If he blanks again this week then I'll call it a bad job and he'll be gone but he's never going to sit on my bench.

Dempsey · 11-12-2019 9:42pm

Thinking Salah to KDB, have Mane already

ShimSlady · 12-12-2019 10:33am

Jimi to Abraham for -4 worth it?

It would have taken me 2 transfers to make the same move,I held off as Jiminez just keeps getting points no matter who he plays against.
I think my front 3 of Jiminez,Vardy and Abraham should garner enough points for me.

Same as, I got in Zaha for the current run of games he has.

If you don't start him this GW then you'd have to wonder why you'd have transferred him in.

He was a buy and set for GW 15-21 for me. And then out the gap!

My team is going ok.0.5m in the bank, one transfer.
Problem Candidates are
GKs
(A) Pope: keep for another week or get in Guita or Heaton (also have Button)
Def:
(B) Reid to Fernandez or other 4.4m (rest are TAA,Kelly,Soy,Lundstram)
Mids :
(C) KDB to Son maybe,(rest are Zaha, Cantwell,Mane, Maddison)
Forwards:
(D) Jimenez to Abraham maybe (rest are Vardy and Auba)
So a,b,c,d or bank, leaning towards b at the moment.

Any Mount owners around still??

Might give him one last chance - would love to bank but my Chelsea supporting work colleague reckons Tomori might be benched for the foreseeable so might get Kelly in as cover for a few weeks

Having Mount in your team is the FF equivalent of still having your Halloween decorations up
