GW30+ Transfers

Green&Red · 08-06-2020 6:07pm #1

Like or not we get to start from scratch again

Used my BB in GW29 so I’m looking at

Henderson - McCarthy
Egan - TAA - Lascelles - Kiko F - Taylor
Bruno F - Sterling - Mahrez - Grealish - Douglas Luiz
Aguero - Jota - Kane

Trimm Trabb · 08-06-2020 8:56pm

Probably going to be playing my free hit and my first draft looks like this:

Reina

Stevens Baldock Egan TAA

KDB Sterling Grealish

Aguero Auba Jiminez

Ederson, McGinn, Fleck and any of the rest of the Man City squad are other DGW players on my watch list on first glance.

Currently have Jiminez and TAA as non DGW players. Looking at fixtures and Pukki, Ings, Abraham, Robertson and Son are others I might be interested in.

macraignil · 09-06-2020 10:28pm

Used some of the regular transfers during the lock down to upgrade my team so not sure what transfers to make now. Kind of hoping what I've got now will do well but if any changes are obvious it would be appreciated if someone could point them out. Currently have:

Leno
Lundstram, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Doherty
De Bruyne, Fernandes, Salah, Saint-Maximin
Aubemeyang, Jota

McCarthy, Fernandez, Cantwell, Calvert-Lewin

Only .1mill in the bank so upgrades would have to mean selling off some of the higher value players so thinking of just making no change. Have the free hit but think I might keep this for the last week and then get in players who still have something to play for.

The last GW is generally pot luck, even with teams who have something to play for. I'm playing it for the DGW as its as sure a punt as any.

Lots of leagues will be decided in FF terms by then so imo better to try and make up ground now then hoping your in the mix the last week

machiavellianme · 10-06-2020 10:37pm

Going for

Henderson
Bellerin Lundstram Baldock
Kdb Mahrez McGinn Grealish
Laca Kun PEA

with El Ghazi first sub.

That’s a FH team I presume? Or WC straight after?

Green&Red · 10-06-2020 10:50pm

Currently on

Leno - Martin
Egan - Azpa - Maguire - Boly - Ritchie
Mahrez - Sterling - Grealish - Douglas L - Bruno
Auba - Aguero - Jota

I’m not convinced by what Liverpool will do. Ancelotti could have Everton up for beating them

Cartman78 · 11-06-2020 10:39am

Planning on going all out on BB and then straight into WC.

Just mocked up a team there...think I'm gonna hold TAA and Mane.

Anyway, somehow ended up with 4 Sheffield and 4 City players so back to the drawing board :-)

Slim pickings on Arsenal and Villa tbh....does anyone know who (if anyone) is nailed as Villa goalie?? I think Reina had coronavirus (?) but not flagged so assume ok now..

SeamusAFA · 11-06-2020 12:38pm

I not sure cause have 3 SHU def and 3 AV attackers

Henderson Pope
TAA Egan Baldock Adam Smith Ake
McGinn Grealish Ozil Mane KDB
Samatta Aguero Jiminez

Thoughts?

Reina id presume

I decided Leno over Henderson, removes the need for a sub to cover the Sheff v United game, so an overall saving of 0.8. Arsenal have marginally better fixtures and I expect Arteta to tighten them up a little. I don’t see Henderson as being 0.8m better value until the end of the season

Fitz* · 11-06-2020 4:38pm

I'm not sure if Heaton is registered to play or not after his injury, let alone if he is fit. So Reina more than likely I would think.

ThewhiteJesus · 11-06-2020 4:41pm

the mighty john mcginn is back

km79 · 11-06-2020 5:12pm

If I FH i might end up going with leno in goals instead of henderson as it allows double defence and fleck.
There is a sentence I thought I would never type
Perhaps with good reason!

first stab at free hit
leno (button)
TAA o connell egan (kelly/4.1, 3.9)
kdb sterling pepe grealish fleck
aguero auba (greenwood)

Not entirely sure I want Leno, Sterling, pepe, Auba
or to free hit

It would be nice if we found out where he will be playing. I think he was playing deeper for villa than he was for Scotland before the injury.

Good team apart from Pepe, don't be roped in by his high price. I'm not convinced he will even start, he didn't play in the 6 nil friendly win.

extra gravy · 11-06-2020 6:51pm

Think I'd rather Saka than Pepe.

Dearg81 · 11-06-2020 7:32pm

I'd pick Fleck and McGinn ahead of him too, 4 points guaranteed with decent goal threat.

Will Saka definitely start though? Is Tierney back fit?

Benimar · 11-06-2020 7:48pm

I have BB and WC to play, so looking at setting team up for a DGW30+ BB, with a quick WC after (possibly GW32)

Current squad is:
Krul, Gazzaniga
TAA, Stephens (SOU), Lascelles, Dunk, Saiss
Salah, Mane, Saka, KDB, Cantwell
Aubameyang, Jimenez, DCL

Thinking of moving to:
Ederson, Leno
TAA*, Lundstram, Egan, Mings, Lascelles
Mane, KDB, Mahrez, Grealish, Fleck
Aubameyang, Jimenez*, Samatta

*too much cash tied up to sell.

That would give me 11 DGWers, TAA, Mane, Jimenez and Lascelles (budget constraints). Obvious doubts over Mahrez and Lundstram getting game time and Villa actually scoring!

I don't think there will be a better time to play BB to be honest and the WC means I can bale out quickly.

Any views?

EDIT: I actually have FH left too.

manual_man · 11-06-2020 7:54pm

Mahrez and Mané? Or Sterling and Pepe? On FH

He is, hard to know if he'll be thrown straight in though. Saka could always strart in the front 3 as well.

Getting oddly tempted by alonso!

sheroman01 · 12-06-2020 12:32pm

Using BB.

Is this too punty? I think it might be...

Although I do have lots of ground to make up...

Leno-4.6m
TAA-Stevens-Lundstram-Guilbert-Targett
Mahrez-KDB-Ozil-Grealish-Fleck
Auba-Aguero-Pukki

12-06-2020 12:45pm

Henderson

Trent-VVD-Baldock

Salah-KDC-Cantwell-Mahrez-Traore

Aguero-Ings

Current set up. Can't see meself making many, if any, changes.

Happy enough with Trent, VVD and Salah, it's only Everton. Three City players speak for themselves and not much room to manoeuvre elsewhere.

I may swap Mane in for Salah.

Thats a very risky two man forward line.
Are you planning on playing Cantwell every week?????
Also not mad on spending so heavily on double pool defence. TAA is enough

You must have money on the bench?

thunderdog · 12-06-2020 10:04pm

Have WC, BB and FH left

Currently looking at the following

Henderson-Leno
TAA-Baldock-Stevens-Targett-Saiss
Barnes-Fernandes-KDB-Grealish-Cantwell
Aguero-Jiminez-Aubameyang

Considering:
1. Barnes to one of Traore or McGinn
2. Cantwell to a 5 mil mid (given change above)
3. Ferandes to Mahrez

Reece James trained today so would be worried about Alonso starting.

Different sides of the pitch.

Reece is a right back.

I know but it means Azpi can move to left back if James starts.

Had the same dilemma. With Sane back, there'll be fierce competition for the City midfield so I've gone for Laporte instead. My only punt is Saka now.

Cartman78 · 13-06-2020 9:15am

Back tooling around with squad once again - am still planning on BB but moving away from full squad of DGWers. Other than Grealish, 3 x Sheffield Utd and KDB it’s a bit of a minefield tbh.

Have a lot of money tied up in TAA and Mane, and Wolves fixtures are appealing

Will keep fluting about for a bit anyway

Shame
I still have my FH team set up with Pepe in it
But I am just not convinced by him
I am considering downgrading him altogether
And going with a one week striker punt up front.
Abraham perhaps .......or Rashford but he has a much trickier fixture and may not play 90
And then I am also considering whether to stick with TAA or go with another one week punt. Alonso or Doherty
Would leave a lot of unspent cash in the bank but so what . I guess I can upgrade my bench of burton greenwood kelly and kilman just in case

Yeah im looking at Abraham now too or Pukki maybe. The 4th mid position is troubling me, have KDB, Sterling, Grealish so far. Not convinced that Sterling is worth the extra outlay over Mahrez. And not convinced on Pepe either. A single gameweeker like Fernandes could be a better option, pity about their fixture though.

extra gravy · 13-06-2020 11:03am

Fleck is an option actually instead of treble Sheffield defence. Hmmm

extra gravy · 13-06-2020 11:11am

Henderson
TAA Doherty Stevens
KDB Sterling Grealish Fleck
Aguero Auba Abraham

Leno + double Blades would probably make more sense but not sure I want any Arsenal defence. Having both Trent and Doherty excites me...cue 2 one pointers!

That’s who I have
He is an itch ive been waiting to scratch
I’ve switched Leno into goals and gone with O Connell and Egan as apparently both Defences they face give up a lot of set piece chances

Well we are very similar again ..........
I have almost the same in mind .
Question is do I go with Leno in goals , double blades CB and one of TAA or Doherty (I really really wanted to go for alonso but can’t risk it I suppose )
Or both TaA and Doherty as you have done and ignore arsenal Defence . I am not against it .
And then pick a SGW Striker as I have also dismissed going for Pepe
Abraham, Pukki or Rashford

extra gravy · 13-06-2020 11:50am

The advantage I can see for Leno is save points, especially against City whereas Henderson will be up against two of the poorest attacks in the league. Think I'm convincing myself.

We a re once again slowly moving towards the same team
That is why I have him in my team

Now choose between Doherty and TAA
and pick me a striker:D

I swore I would never again be forced to watch a Liverpool game without TAA in my FF team. It is a scary place to be. His ceiling is so high

Think I'm sold on Abraham now!

Icaras · 13-06-2020 1:21pm

Pope-Henderson
Azpilicueta, Soyuncu, Fernandez, Stevens, OConnell
Salah, De Bruyne, Son, Traore, Mount,
Cal-Lewin, Vardy, Jota.

Would love another another City player or two but difficult to garantee who Pep will go with.

Not just Pep. Form is gone out the window....no preseason games to properly judge teams by....no idea which players have come out of lockdown in a good shape .going to be very hard to pick a team for the first 2 or 3 games I think.

Rikand · 13-06-2020 10:39pm

Only really properly looking at the team now and dont think I'll go with the bench boost. Arsenal and Citeh, there's no telling what teams will come out.

Still have 3 of them though at the moment lol

Just cant get a good enough team for a bench boost this week without taking out the people I want to keep or people I'd lose too much value in

skippy15 · 13-06-2020 11:51pm

Coming close to the team I want- BB and Wc 31/32-

Leno Reina
TAA Laporte O Connel Egan Lascelles
Grealish Mane KDB Fleck Saka
Aguero Auba Samatta

Gives me 12 DGW and TAA Mane Lascelles,
Saka a risk but at that price seems worth it, Fleck and Samatte DGW only couldnt decide on City mid but with 5 subs going be super rotation,

Nice team. I'm thinking along the same lines as you for attacking players, I might go with Sterling and Nkietah unstead of Saka and Aubameyang though.

I think Saka and nkietah are both risks, but think auba gets lot more game time than sterling, but need 3 city regardless

Then you'd have to forego one of Laporte, KdB or kun. Sterling is hardly worth it in that context given the uncertainty of the city midfield.

extra gravy · 14-06-2020 7:27am

I'm leaning towards Mahrez instead of Sterling now. Gives funds for another big hitter up front.

thunderdog · 14-06-2020 9:22am

Best double Sheffield United defense for 9.8m? Have Baldock and Egan currently
