2 FTs. Will bank one.
Tsimikas out, Robertson on the bench.
Same, for the moment Kostas out seems to be the obvious move, and banking the other FT as well.
I do have Ben White though who I’d like to move on.
Tsimikas at the exit door. He’s only at 22% to the second rise so would probably need some goal involvement to get some knee jerk transfers and be able to bank some money. All eyes on the other 4.0 starters.
Have Tsimi but will wait until later in the week to see if there are any developments on the GW4 red list blanks. Could have Salah, Rapha, Buendia all sitting in a quarantine hotel for 2 weeks in which case 20min from a fired up Tsimi might look like a gift and using my transfers on Rapha and Buendia might be better.
Very kneejerky at the moment with the Mahrez news but looking at 2 FT's this week.
Tsimikas & Mahrez out - Jota + 5.5 DF in.
Will pull the trigger depending on price changes.
Any suggestions?
Already have TAA, Shaw, Ayling, Livramento.
No one jumping out at me.
Is it worth transferring out Tsimikas, could Klopp give him more games to keep Robbo fresh? He's had a really good game today.
Hopefully anyone thinking of it holds off for a few days, he's well off a rise but rising fast all the same.
Pereira(Lei) 5.5
Have Tsimikas too, but will wait, could get a rise after todays score.
Surely the casuals get him a rise to gain 0.1 for us? Fingers crossed it happens anyway.
Son for me. Hope I get to train the game before making the transfer but I'll be watching for price rises
Think I'll keep him as third sub, any future injuries and he'll be back in. Won't be spending money upgrading that position and don't see the sense in swapping him for another 4m player. Not wasting a transfer on a cheap defender just to gain .1m
I wanted to avoid the Liverpool treble up myself for the next couple games.
I was thinking of Shaw & Mahrez -> Dier & Son for 2 FTs for the nice 2 Spurs games. I would keep Shaw for his fixtures but sacrificing him for funds more than anything.
Maybe eventually use Hoever as the 4.0 when the Wolves fixtures turn.
I'll wait for Tsimikas to rise which is likely to happen quickly then transfer him out for Brandon Williams who should be joining Norwich before the end of the week.
Looking at a Salah to Son two week switch. 2 good fixtures for Son vs Chelsea and potential blank for Salah. Would do Toney to DCL with the funds.
Initial thoughts are Gundogan and Toney to Mbeumo and DCL, but will await more info on potential quarantine of Salah and Raphinha
Thinking Salah/Torres to Jota/Son
Duffy just scored for Brighton, might be a good direct Tsimikas replacement if he can nail his place down, he is 4.0m
Think Hoever is a starting 4.0 as well. Could actually be a few options if we're trying to squeeze Lukaku in
Toney to Dennis for me. One looks likely to score, the other looks likely to drop.
2FT's, have a good few punts in my team that I'd like to clear out, Trossard, Benteke, Torres, and Trimikas who's time seems to be coming to an end.
Grealish, Pogba, Jota, Benhrama all on the watchlist.
In a similar boat but I’m gonna hold Tsimikas & sell Manquillo.
No one really jumping out at me.
Perhaps just do a boring Manquillo -> Duffy and bank a transfer going into the IB
Why are people talking about Salah having to go into quarantine?
Anyone coming from Egypt to Uk is supposed to quarantine for 10 days. Same with any country on red list.
I'm sure there will be exceptions made or a lot of players will conveniently pick up a minor injury stopping them going away for internationals.
The UK govt are reviewing the red/amber list countries on August 25th so we might get some concrete news then.
But there are no exceptions at the moment and it’s why some teams were missing players at start of season cause they missed training. Should the rule be different cause it’s Salah?
With many players not vaccinated, the UK government are not going to start handing out exceptions for millionaire footballers. It might change in general, but who knows.
As for picking up “ little niggles”, fairly sure international teams have the right to have their doctor check a player over.
As Liverpool prevented Salah going to the Olympics, they would want to be careful about angering the Egyptian FA anymore.
I think the reason an exception MIGHT be made is because its so many players affected. We've already seen around the Euros that they're quite happy to be flexible with the rules when it makes life easier.
Toney out but not sure who to bring in.
Deeney???????(don't ask), out for A Armstrong, I'll hang on to the other 1
Was thinking similar myself but saw the MOTD highlights v Palace and he had two headers both of which he should have scored. Obviously he didnt but he was getting in good positions and they are finding him so it should just be a matter of time.
Shaw out for Spurs 4.5 option, good fixtures next 2.
Veltman, White and Tsimikas all problems
Covid...
