think it's probably best to wait until the transfer window closes, let's say you bring him in, or play WC to get him in and then Kane ends up at City, or even if Kane stays at Spurs - you'd probably want to be bringing him in. Chances are Lukaku isn't on penalties either - so would you have both Rom and Kane, or be picking one of them?

Good shout, thanks - and Liverpool next up for them too. I need to be freeing up funds with an enabler move to allow with Rom or Kane this week though.

c.p.w.g.w · 22-08-2021 05:36PM

In a bit of a quandary...

Currently have Tsimkas, White & Target

White Covid19 so likely missing next week

Target dropped this week

Tsimkas, Robertson looks like he'll be back next week...

Was looking at Duffy, but is he going to keep his place? Also looked at Livmento(Southampton) today and he looked very dangerous but his not a some in

PARlance · 22-08-2021 05:39PM

AWB, Son & Antonio to

Duffy, Greenwood & Lukaku

I'll have to pull the trigger this evening if so!

sheroman01 · 22-08-2021 05:42PM

So many options. Have 2 FTs. Maybe Son in for Mane. Then bring in Lukaku the week after with my 2FTs.

COH · 22-08-2021 05:45PM

Currently want rid of Buendia, Toney, White and Digne.

2FT and no idea what to do.

Muahahaha · 22-08-2021 05:46PM

It would be harsh if Duffy loses his spot after his last two performances and scoring a goal. Ive the opposite problem, have Veltman coming back from Covid but dont think he starts above Duffy, at least not for the next game. Who knows what Potter will decide after that

Or TAA, AWB & Antonio to

Duffy, Reguilon & Lukaku

Basically have to decide over TAA & Greenwood or Reguilon & Son

Any thoughts?

(Duffy my 4th defender assuming Tsimikas' gametime should dry up)

Cavani will be back after the international break & Sancho will be starting on the right. Both will eat into Greenwood’s playing time for me.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117789660#Comment_117789660

Easy decision

TAA vs Chelsea and Greenwood away to Wolves

Or

Son & Reguilon at home vs Watford

Has to be option 2

Not sure White is a sell tbh. Once he's back for Norwich in week 4 which is 3 weeks away he's fine to keep?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117789660#Comment_117789660

Don't think AWB is worth the 5.5m, he doesn't offer the same value as Shaw going forward, so i think downgrading him to a playing 4.5m defender is good - maybe Dier, or there are a rake of other lads. I would be keeping Antonio if i was you - who is your other striker? The thing with TAA is that you picked him at the start of the season for the reason, and that reason has hardly changed, I would fancy TAA and Antonio to outscore Lukaku + 4.5m defender, but Lukaku is probably a good captain choice for some games.

Is Reguilon worth 5.0? if say Kane went to City, you might want to get him instead of Rom, so maybe having a 4.5m player there would be better, as only have to raise another 0.4m for instance.

It's not a one GW decision though, what about the other GW's?

You’re getting rid of Son when loads are looking at ways to bring him in and captain?

Going to get Duffy for Tsimikas, then surely one of him /Veltman starts

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117789807#Comment_117789807

Well I'm not actively trying to get rid of him hence my option B (keeping him at the expense of TAA) . But his appeal is lessened by the fact that Dele took the peno today and Kane looks likes he's not going to get his move.

There's only so many premiums you can fit in and I think Lukaku will probably outperform him. Was very impressed with him and it looks like he'll be involved in most of Chelsea's play.

Trey13 · 22-08-2021 06:50PM

2FT and my 4.0 mil defenders are the only ones causing problems. I think I'll hold onto Tsimikas until GW4/5 and see how things go. I also have Amartey but might ship him out for Duffy.

Won't be bringing in Lukaku just yet. Tricky fixtures upcoming and every one of my strikers has scored in both gameweeks.

Lemlin · 22-08-2021 06:51PM

Want to replace Toney. Have 1 mil banked so thinking possibly Callum Wilson. Newcastle home to Southampton next week. Newcastle are useless but Wilson is a guaranteed scorer.

Any other suggestions?

AWB was a little gamble of a United defensive double up to start, hasn't worked and he's up for the chop. Shaw mightn't be worth the 5.5 based on his first two games either, he was very poor today. Dier is a good shout, just fancied the attacking threat of Reguilon for the extra 0.5.

Antonio is my only striker, have went with a 5-4-1 so far and it has worked out well.... For now anyway. It's risky and I'll eventually downgrade ESR to allow a cheap playing striker.

Sanchez (Steele)

TAA, Tsimikas, Shaw, Coufal, AWB

Salah, Bruno, Son, Mount (ESR)

Antonio (4.5, 4.5)

It's going to be very hard to fit in all the premiums, getting on the right ones is going to be key this year and it may involve rotating them in/out more than usual imo.

Ace2007 · 22-08-2021 07:19PM

Yea agreed regarding Shaw - i wasn't sold on getting him but at over 50% ownership - felt had to get him - he was the most owned player in GW1 - madness.

Yea i had a play round earlier on, i could get a team that was well balanced on paper with Salah, Bruno, 7.5m midfielder*, Kane and Lukaku

*7.5m is Greenwood/Pogba/Mount/Jota - so plenty of talent available. Also included a playing 3rd striker in Dennis. So like it's possible but means no TAA basically. Personally won't go down that road unless Kane moves to City and Rom shows that he's essentially - while he scored today he only got 1 against a depleted Arsenal team.

Fitz* · 22-08-2021 07:19PM

I have 2 FT & 0.5 ITB

I'm currently thinking Shaw out at the moment too, move to Dier and that's an extra 1.0 to play with.

Maybe move Mahrez out for Son for the 2 nice Spurs fixtures but I might wait to see their European game first.

Eventually will sacrifice Mahrez/Son or H. Barnes out for a 4.5 and then upgrade Toney to Lukaku. With enough in the bank to move to Kane if needs be.

But then price changes over that time too....

I'll deal with the Tsimikas / White / Veltman problem another time!

RobTheLad · 22-08-2021 08:29PM

Ings and Tsimikas out

Lukaku and Tanganga in

Muahahaha · 22-08-2021 08:32PM

Im similar planning a Mahrez to Son move but read he was off the pace against Wolves today and he had a niggle in the warm up before the game. His next two fixtures are good though but I'll wait as long as possible in case theres any news.

Had always planned not getting Lukaku in till GW7 when Chelseas fixtures have a massive swing and they face six bottom half of the table clubs in a row, he could do some serious damage during that run. But can see others getting him in now quick even though they face Liverpool, Villa, Spurs, City in the next four games. He is bound to have price rises between now and GW7 so might have to change the plan.

If you haven't sold him yet, Tsimikas is due to rise in the next day or two, you may as well wait to make an extra 0.1mil

Fitz* · 22-08-2021 08:46PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117790272#Comment_117790272

Out of curiosity, is there a reason why why you are selling Ings when he has scored 2 in 2, getting bonus in both, before he plays a promoted side?

dr.kenneth noisewater · 22-08-2021 09:30PM

Cant see any way of getting Son or Lukaku in without selling TAA. Have 2FT so if Son is ok think I'll get him in for Barnes or Raphinia and then TAA to 4.5 Def. Tsismikas and Toney are also issues but struggling to see decent replacements for either atm

callaway92 · 22-08-2021 09:32PM

Targett out

Cresswell in - had to risk before potential drop tonight for Targett

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117790026#Comment_117790026

It's "well balanced" for attacking output alright 🤣

The 5 players make it 55.9. Dennis and 2 keepers (8.5) leave you with 30.5 for the remaining 7 players.

Two 4m players

Five 4.5m players

Certainly possible and interesting to have a look at it but but I think it's a step too far. You would also want to be acting relatively fast on it, as any 4 or 4.5s worth having will be jumping up in price over the next few GWs.

Looking forward to this season as it looks like there'll be quite a few big decisions around formations and premium players.

Chesty08 · 22-08-2021 10:01PM

Defence: Tsimikas and 2 dud 4mil defenders (Manquillo & Obamdele)

Midfield: Barnes & Mahrez

Ive 2 FT’s.

With Liverpool playing Chelsea next week I need to get a playing defender in (have TAA) - do I do a dud defender to Livramento now

or do I ship out Mahrez, get Jota/Pogba/Greenwood & upgrade to a 5.5m defender?

kind of want to give Mahrez til the IB and had in mind to stick with team.

Using the 1 defender transfer I can bank 1 & keep 1 until after IB and then look at Chelsea assets!
