Gameweek 6 Transfers

I've shipped him. By all accounts, he was dreadful in the first half last week and Chelsea ran riot when he went off. I have Rudiger and looking at getting in Lukaku & Kovavic. I don't like going with two defenders from one club - too much pain when they concede!

Is it just a price issue where people are so insistent on double Chelsea defence, and not double Liverpool or Man City defence? Liverpool have also only conceded one goal and was also a set piece conceded. There is a lot of talk of one but not the other. Generally speaking, 3 of their back 4 are rotation proof. Man City have only conceded one goal too, on the opening day. Cancelo could potentially be a better selection than James because of rotation and Ake seems nailed for a couple weeks now.

FWIW, I will be getting in a Chelsea defender ASAP. Might eventually upgrade Schmeichel to Mendy once those Leicester fixtures change back.

Pretty useless info for Raphina and Ailing Luke Ayling owners

2m

Diego Llorente, Robin Koch and Patrick Bamford are not available. "Not sure on any others," reveals Marcelo Bielsa. Therefore the status of Raphinha and Luke Ayling remains unclear. Pascal Struijk is suspended but Jack Harrison is available following COVID-19. #LUFC

I think it is for attacking returns that the talk is of double Chelsea defence, Alonso currently has more points than TAA but is much cheaper. Not saying he is a TAA replacement but having both could be very fruitful, provided you have a good starting bench option if Alonso doesnt start which is where Livarmento comes in for me.

Outside of TAA its hard to see any other Liverpool or City defenders racking up the same attacking points as Alonso or James if they continue playing. Thats the risk some are willing to take or else go Rudiger + Alonso or James. VVD, Dias, Cancelo will all chip in here and there but they are 0.5m-1m more expensive and likely wont have the same output in attacking returns and potential bonus points. Especially with Chelseas fixtures as well, I wouldnt be surprised if they won all 5 out of the next 5. They have got the perfect storm of both form and fixtures.

With Bamford out might be best to go ahead with this -8 now!

I'm getting riddled with injuries this year, another -4 as i have a bare 11 and ill take the gamble shipping out bamford for antonio instead of allowing gilmour to sub on

I shoulda gone for Sarr but went Gallagher instead. He's a lively looking fella so fingers crossed

For me it's price and fixtures at the moment. I can afford TAA and 2 Chelsea defenders with a couple of transfers. I'd consider Cancelo later on in the season though.

Any Watford fans? Thinking of going Bachmann to Foster and banking the 0.5m. Rest of team is fine.

Was very tempted by Lukaku --> Ronaldo but I'll take the gamble of not buying him this week. United fixtures to get trickier and I think Lukaku is a bigger flat track bully than Ronaldo so I don't want to waste the transfer bringing him back next week again when I've bigger fish to fry.

Mount or Jota or both to go but to who. Was set on Raphina earlier in the week but lucky I held off on that. Do I free up cash by getting a Gallager or a Sarr.

I've enough in the bank to do:

Jota --> Gallagher/Sarr and then

Mount --> Son for a -4.

I wouldn’t take a hit for Son away to Arsenal.

Bamford, Jota & Greenwood…. I don’t know what to do to be honest.

Do I give them another chance or do I bite the bullet now?

That’s exactly my thoughts. I’m half in fear of Greenwood & Jota hauls as they will both score eventually (after 2/3 games blanks).

im not interested in any replacement for Bamford other then CR7. So do I go for the complete -8 & bring in the likes of Gallagher & Townsend. It’s probably easier to swallow all 3 out then 1 by 1.

If I leave it a week I’ll prob be at same situation next week.

Ya maybe that is the better option. Half looking into Greenwood from those 3 this week, as he is playing further away from goal now with Ronaldo playing and not getting the full 90 either. He's also the only 1 of the 3 I can bank money on, and I was going to sell him on WC anyways. Jota will probably leave on WC but I can't sell an OOP forward versus a promoted team. This will be Firmino's last game of not being available to start but there is also the chance that Klopp starts all 4 forwards due to the injuries in midfield now. He started all 4 against Man City last season and it worked well for 45 mins.

Gone torres/ soucek to gray/Townsend
