GW3 Transfer thread

I didn't do it yesterday in the end, so I'll probably hold off now at this stage until after GW3 at least. A big factor in the thinking was his price drop last night. Plus, when Raphinha is 6.5 and Barnes is now 6.9, the drop doesn't affect that exact transfer.

But thanks to some posts in here, I said it was better to give him the game against Norwich. That game could kick him into form. Also, the main reason why Barnes price dropped was people selling him for Benrahama. I already have Benrahama so I didn't need to make that transfer and Barnes now becomes the differential, if he returns of course.

In for Lukaku and armband on for weekend.

Veltman dropping tonight so might use my other FT. Have 4.9m to spend on a def.

Wolves and Leeds have nice fixtures but their defensive records aren't great. Firpo or Semedo are quite attacking.

Maybe Dier/Sanchez would be a safer bet?

Did Ings out DCL in. Was planning to do it next week but DCL on penalties has convinced me to move now. I've a feeling he might go on a run like he did early last season.

Did Jota, Toney and Veltman to DCL, Benrahma and Liveramento

just guesswork at this stage, the more he performs well the harder it is for Veltman i guess. Is there any system where the two of them could play together? Webster/Dunk are probably guaranteed starters

I avoided Maddison as he was rubbish when he came back from injury last season, I somewhat ignorantly went with Barnes based off his form before his injury.

I'd say Duffy will keep his place until he has a bad game. If he was to switch to 442 I think he'd drop out too.

My guess is striker. 12.5

Fornals is going to spend the next 36 game weeks assisting all of Benrahma's assists

Thanks....that doesn't sound great in fairness.

I've only seen highlights of West Ham so far so wasn't sure of his exact role....I'll stick with the masses so

Id go Benrahma too, Fornals was lively v Leicester but his goal came from him occupying Antonios position in the box, he wasnt always getting that deep upfront.

If going for Benrahma (or Antonio) they are both over 100% for their second price rise this week, it may or may not happen tonight but it looks highly likely before the deadline

I have the same frontline and upgraded Toney to DCL (funded by Jota to benrahma)

Also changed Veltman to liveramento.

I would stick with white as his fixtures really improve on gw 4.

I went Veltman to Duffy and Barnes to Benrahma. 🤞

I'd do Tsimikas to Livramento to switch a probable non-playing 4.0 to a playing 4.0 (pre price changes for both). Veltman will be back playing soon, and White will too, coupled with a nice turn in fixtures.

That will leave you with 2 FTs coming into that international break. Barnes could return against Norwich. I hope he does. Having those 2FTs during the break will allow a mini wildcard of sorts for a -4 and you'll have the knowledge that you'll have White, Veltman & a playing 4.0 defender. Leaving you only needing to change MID/ATT and not DEF. You will know more about Ronaldo / Lukaku / Kane then too which could affect your plans.

Not sure on prices but eg Barnes could become a 4.5 which allows you to upgrade Toney to Ronaldo with Wilson switching to Dennis and you play Ronaldo & Antonio upfront.
