GW37 Transfers

Jim Gazebo · 16-05-2021 1:21am #1

Short turnaround as the season is going to quickly come to a close.

I am going to bank myself, if there was more games to go I would prob use my free to shift lingard to anyone else but my money league is tightening up so much that 4 points could be a huge difference. Need two freebies for 38 as I plan on moving on DCL at least and want comfort to move others, possibly Digne and / or Bale.

Very interested to hear what others plans are though...

Iused2likebusts · 16-05-2021 8:23am

I'm the same hoping to bank to have 2 transfers for gw38. Hopefully a bit of early team news that day particularly if bruno starts or not.

sheroman01 · 16-05-2021 2:11pm

Lot's of options.

Do I stick with Armstrong (vs. Leeds) or bring in Pereria or some other <8.2m mid?

Ihenacho could go to Bamford or Antonio either.

Edit: Actually, Armstrong to Greenwood looks good.

machiavellianme · 16-05-2021 4:18pm

Jota to Willock done.

siblers · 16-05-2021 4:27pm

Think I'll do Jota to Philips

thunderdog · 16-05-2021 4:29pm

Was planning Lingard to Greenwood but now it’s going to be Jota to Greenwood instead

Maybe be cautious with that - good chance that United will rest key players in the last game of the season

Mixed myself up. I meant Harrison

caviardreams · 16-05-2021 5:08pm

Jota to either Harrison or Raphinha for me - coin toss and will probably make the wrong call!

Good shout. Amazing actually that he's the 6th top scoring mid now and has been barely talked about all season.

bantee · 16-05-2021 5:28pm

Exact money for Jota to Torres, hmmm, or could go with Harrison or Raphinha

Muahahaha · 16-05-2021 5:54pm

yeah it feels like Harrison has come from nowhere but he has something like 8 goals and a fair few assists for the season.

Deadline is Tuesday 4.30pm so will have to make a decision on Jota quick. Had wanted rid of Lingard but that plan is out the window now. Im left with 3xWH just at the point it looks like theyve gone off form, even with Rice back last night.

dr.kenneth noisewater · 16-05-2021 5:59pm

Had hoped to carry the FT into GW38 but Jota to Raphinia or ASM looking likely

Cheers, yeah have a pretty strong bench so not too problematic if he only plays the 1 game

siblers · 16-05-2021 6:35pm

Might get rid of Siggy for a hit out of spite

Fitz* · 16-05-2021 7:23pm

Kabak won't play again this season so probably a replacement for him.

How Soon Is Now · 16-05-2021 7:43pm

I have Bruno and Greenwood to come back into my team from the bench so I think if nothing drastic happens to change my mind ill bank and keep two transfers for the final day of the season.

All I have to look at is how I bring the two united lads back in... Atm its Lingard and Coufal on the bench. I reckon United will go all out against Fulham to seal 2nd place and then possibly last day rest a few.

Christ that is mad. Even before his haul he was top 12. 8 goals and 9 assists. Would never have guessed he contributed that much.

Good point, a bit of early team news could give a nice advantage on the last day of the season. If you knew what the City line up was right before the deadline it could be a chance to get on them, they are at home v Everton in front of fans and will be receiving the trophy. If you knew Torres or Aguero was starting it could be a great punt.

Thinking of doing Jota to Greenwood but not till the deadline as Ive funds to cover it even if/when Jota drops. Do people think Greenwood starts in the EL final? If he is not in Oles strongest 11 then he might have a decent chance of starting both games v Fulham and Wolves. There is only 3 days between Wolves and the EL final so youd fancy him to start that if he is not starting the EL final. Id say there is a chance that Bruno doesnt start v Wolves as well.

Jim Gazebo · 17-05-2021 12:55am

Jota injury has made things interesting. For now I am doing nothing and leaving him third sub. Either way if I bring someone in, I will only be tempted to bench them too, and it's going to lead to -4's I cannot do.

Only query is regarding mason mount, I still have him. Currently benching lingard to play him, call me crazy but I fancy Chelsea after the weekend. If I thought mount would be dropped tho, it would tempt me into a transfer. I was originally starting Jota and benching Mount and Lingard.

steve_r · 17-05-2021 9:57am

Currently have Jota on the bench, considering Harrison or Greenwood

but1er · 17-05-2021 11:10am

wont be caught in one money league but still chasing second and first by 15 points in another. Willock in for jota and captain here we go

Fitz* · 17-05-2021 11:20am

Is working towards Aguero (c) in GW38 a bad move? It's dependent on him being fit, Pep selecting him and then him actually scoring!

I could bank the transfer this week, and work towards a Kabak/Zaha/DCL -> Stones/ESR/Aguero for GW38 for a -4.

Of course, if I don't make the move this week, there is every chance that Stones & Aguero start this GW and not GW38 and the whole idea is messed up.

gammygils · 17-05-2021 11:21am

Was planning to bank but did Jota to Greenwood

You would imagine that Pep would give Aguero a send off in front of the Home fans on last day of season. However does that involve 90 mins, 60 mins or 10 min cameo who knows.

What time is the GW38 deadline? If its an hour before kick off and there are line up leaks from FPLRockstar it would be very handy to make late transfers

Dubh Geannain · 17-05-2021 12:06pm

Did Jota to Raphina last night. It was a toss up between him or Harrison really. I just like watching Raphina when he's on the ball which is what swayed it for me.

Already have ASM so couldn't be considering Willock also.

I've just gone 24 points ahead in my money league after overhauling the leader this week. Hard to predict what he'll do but he does have Bruno and I do not. I'm considering Lingard --> Greenwood for a -4 just to have some United cover against Fulham. Not sure what to do.

Deadline 16:30. First game kicks off at 18:00. So teams at 17:00.

edit: apologies. Just realised you were talking about GW38. But it's 1.5 hours too for GW38.

extra gravy · 17-05-2021 12:08pm

Will do Bowen to Raphinha/Harrison. May take a -4 to get Dallas in for Castagne as well.

Western Pomise · 17-05-2021 12:10pm

Do people think Ole will play likes of Bruno and Greenwood v Fulham and then put out a B team v Wolves on last day of Season to have his first 11 fresh for the Euro Final on the Wednesday?

Own Bruno and Greenwood and thinking of keeping them this GW for game v Fulham but selling them for last GW.

yeah Harrison had a great haul on Saturday but Raphina tends to get in the box more than him

Ive a rival who has Bruno while I dont, Im not that concerned as Bruno has not been scoring much from open play lately whereas Salah & Kane are. I also think there is a chance Bruno could get rested in 38, the EL final is just 3 days later so why risk him in a dead rubber right before a final.

Im pretty sure Im bringing Greenwood in for Jota and then benching Lingard. Am expecting Greenwood to start at least one of Fulham and Wolves but maybe both if there is rotation for 38 before the final. He only played about 20 minutes against Liverpool as well and I dont think he starts the EL final

Looking at getting Greenwood in for Zaha. Sold Bruno for Son last week, might gamble that the rest of my team covers anything Bruno may or may not do. Don't see why they would play both matches, Ole has already shown that he is happy to rest players.

ah right 1.5 hours means theres probably no chance of a leak at that point. Will still be leaving it late just in case.

That would be the logical thing to do.

Similar situation here, have Jota injured but can replace him in lineup with Mount and bench lingard. If some news comes out that mount won't play tomorrow then I'll sell Jota for Willock or Raphinha. I'd rather not touch the United assets. Rotation is going to be a balls at the top.

but1er · 17-05-2021 1:56pm

I dont see greenwood starting final and see him starting both games. He wants to go Euros with the squad now at 26. He will go fred scott pogba bruno rashford cavani in the final.

I think greenwood would be well within his right to expect to start the final. He's bang in form.

Fitz* · 17-05-2021 2:08pm

Going by the Man Utd thread, and a few tweets I've seen from Utd fans over the last few days, many would prefer to start Greenwood over Rashford in the EL final. Mainly as he is the player in form.

Zaha-> Greenwood would be an easy transfer for me to make, but I'm not sure how much game time he is going to get over the 2 GWs. If he is going to start the EL final, then will he start the Wolves game?

Most of us would definitely prefer it but I don't think it'll happen. Ole definitely won't be dropping Rashford for him. Too big of a call, a place is always found for Rashford even if his form isn't great.

The only chances Greenwood starts is if he plays instead of Cavani at CF (unlikely) or if Ole moves Pogba back into midfield (unlikely).

Greenwood is the easy option for Ole leave out from the start of the Final and I'm thinking of bringing him in for these last two league games as a result.

Muahahaha · 17-05-2021 3:49pm

Yeah you would have to think Cavani and Rashford start the EL final meaning Greenwood misses out so he likely starts in 38 away against Wolves just a few days before the final. Its the Fulham at home fixture though that is really attractive, United fans will be back inside the stadium for it too.

Will be interesting to see how well the home teams do in GW37 with the fans back, they'll certainly want to see their team put on a performance

Pressure might be a lot for some too. Certainly going to be interesting.

macraignil · 17-05-2021 6:36pm

Nothing in the bank so reckon I'll just use the free transfer to replace Bertrand Traore who has a couple of tough fixtures for the last two weeks of the season. Currently thinking I might bring in Saint-Maximin.

siblers · 17-05-2021 7:11pm

Kane said he wants to leave. Can't really see it impacting FPL too much though

https://twitter.com/City_Chief/status/1394353207716065280?s=20

Ace2007 · 17-05-2021 8:19pm

^^ read that he wanted to leave last term, but they convinced him to stay, so can't have come as too much of a surprised. Timing is a little off, you would think he would have waited till end of season, or last home game at least.

Under contract to 2024, i wonder would levy play hard ball and refuse to sell him - why make your main challengers even stronger?
is he worth the 120m figure thrown around? - he tends to break down regularly, hasn't led his team to any trophy and will be 28 before start of next season.

I think that Son albeit a different type of player would provide teams with better value for money and wouldn't cost anywhere near the 120m figure thrown around.

Hopefully Kane thinks he'll get the move and will want to send off in style by getting a hattrick on Wednesday night

siblers · 17-05-2021 8:37pm

I'm guessing Spurs are going to let him go as representatives from Chelsea, City and Utd have been in touch with his agent which I believe they can't do unless the club allows them to

Coming out now as he wants to sort it before the Euros.

sheroman01 · 17-05-2021 8:40pm

Do we know why Bamford was subbed early at the weekend?

I’m hesitating between getting Greenwood in or Bamford. Could do both for -4 but don’t think it’s worth it.

but1er · 17-05-2021 8:50pm

I always wonder with all these sports scientist around what is there thinking with Kane. Never taken off or rested. I wonder is that the issue. I reckon there is easily 6 to 10 games in the premier league, he could be given an extra 30 mins rest but is kept on. How many European games could he have been left back in london to recover for sunday?. At the end of the season he would of played around 50 games this year.

CSF · 17-05-2021 9:21pm

Jota situation puts me in a bit of a conundrum.

Was planning on banking the transfer this week (even in doing so I'd have been benching Holding against Palace and Reguillon against Villa as my defenders all seem to have great games this week but less good on the final day).

Jota being out for both games means that he will become one of my remaining transfers out where previously I'd have kept him for Burnley and Palace and taken the risk that he didn't start both.

Now I've a few options
1) Go directly Jota to Greenwood this week. Have a really nice fixture this week, but probably not have him available next week (I've Shaw and Fernandes in my team too so it is fairly questionable whether I can actually justify that lack of depth on the last day). However, the flip side is that if Greenwood scores a double digit haul this week, my depth next week becomes alot less consequential since I already have points in the bag

2) Go directly from Jota to Raphinha. I think Raphinha is class and while his fixture isn't as good as Greenwood's this week, I'm fairly confident he will start both remaining games and have a pretty decent chance of returns in each games. It would leave me enough money to bring in Trent for the last day aswell (not including Trent in my wildcard and having Jota as my 3rd Liverpool guy has fairly battered me with Trent having taken a goal, a clean sheet and 4 assists in that time as compared to Jota's solitary goal.

3) Bring both Raphinha and Trent in this week for a -4. Obviously it costs me 4 points and I'd have to bench Lingard or Nat Phillips if I do it (probably the former) but the positives are that Trent appears to have real potential to pay back the 4 points in any gameweek with change, but it also gives me a free transfer for GW38 that I could hopefully get some additional points with (DCL out might be a nice move)

4) Bank the transfer, play Reguillon and move Jota and someone else on next week with a GW38 specific transfer with more information available to me, knowing I've quite a bit of depth available to me already this week

Seriously hope I haven't made this post too long for me to get some actual responses!!!

Rodrigo is fit again after almost 3 months injured and I suppose as Leeds' record signing they want to give him minutes.Bamford has been subbed 3 times in the last 3 games, twice before 60 minutes. During that spell Rodrigo has 3 goals in 3 games. Im not sure if there is space for both Rodrigo and Bamford to start. Also iirc there was a game earlier this season where Bielsa started Rodrigo and left Bamford on the bench so it is a risk given Rodrigo has been scoring.

He went off just pre-60minutes against Brighton recently as well. Did not look like an injury to me but he did look a bit tired and part of playing up front for Leeds seems to be to keep running and not let defenders settle on the ball. I reckon it was a tactical move to send on fresh legs but just guessing about that.
