Gameweek 16 - Transfer Thread

Kane to ronaldo seems obvious . I can’t do this tho this week tho as I have 4 yellow flaggged - smith , Toney , reguil and Ben Johnson

Rumours of a covid outbreak at Spurs. Between that and the European ties, it's worth holding off until Friday afternoon if possible.

Jayus my team is riddled in that case, no Toney, ESR (doubt) would also mean Son out. If the Spurs news is true that is at least two double gameweeks down the line now for them.

Any more injuries and I am in Free Hit territory.

Wasn’t the talk that they wouldn’t be postponing games this season and that was why Brentford vs Arsenal went ahead?

In which case if you own Spurs assets you’d need to hope it’s not them, and accept that Spurs will probably be muck without numerous first teamers. Obviously news will become more clear throughout the week.

Hadn't seen your comment before posting the exact same thing in the matchday thread. He's going on the watchlist for sure.

Had a look on a Spurs forum for more news on that and one comment said that "Son Gil Emerson Romero Davies Lucas are the COVID affected players. Mason and Stellini are the coaches".

I remember the last time that there were Spurs COVID rumours, Gil & Son were mentioned that time too. This could be just a rehash of that.

Now there is this too.

Also, Norwich played Spurs yesterday. They might have their own problems now too.

To be fair, Adama falling away was down to a regression in the underlyings, rather than continuing to underperform them.

There was that case back in the Euros where Mount and Chilwell had to isolate after they were chatting with Chelsea team mate Gilmour after the England Scotland game. Im not sure if they ever actually tested positive or not but they did miss a game over it.

Anyway think Im sucked into the Raph to Bowen move for sure after reading through this thread

Fcuk it. Went with this, with price rises incoming. I would’ve preferred King over Dennis but couldn’t afford it.

If ever a week to not make any transfers until near deadline, this is it.

Midweek games and covid outbreaks.

TG I've 2 FT's at least to cover Son. Can't see many owning the other players who have been "reported" to also have tested positive; Emerson Royal, Lucas Moura, Christian Romero, Bryan Gil and Ben Davies.

I've a feeling this Spurs v Brighton game will get called off due to the number of positives cases so far..... And could be more to come.

If Son is out then I'll be looking at taking my first hit of the season - Son to Bowen, and Toney to Ronaldo.

It would be taking a risk on Ronaldos minutes, but he is scoring goals and away to Norwich should suit him.

If Son is ok to play, then I'll try and bank if at all possible, it's a lot easier to move things around with 2 FTs

Keeping it simple and bringing Dias in for Alonso. I won't be signing Alonso ever again, he is an awful defender, I wouldn't be surprised if he gives Hudson Odoi a proper run in the team. I still have James and Rudiger so Alonso could still indirectly cause me more misery.

I think i saw somewhere that Alonso was photographed taking part in training this morning. So his injury mustn't be too serious. I'm in two minds myself about getting rid of him. You would think they should get at least 3 or 4 cleanies over the Christmas period looking at their fixtures, though he does make them weaker defensively.

After jumping from 200k to 11k in 3 GW’s, I’m in 2 minds whether to go aggressive or play it safe.

Looking at the Xmas period, current form players & most importantly fixtures I’m tempted to be aggressive and go after it.

Wilson - poor fixtures

Toney - Covid

Raphina - Poor fixturrs

Duffy - poor fixtures

Livra - poor fixtures

Son - Spurs potential Covid in camp.

£1.3m ITB. Of the above 3 will be benched this GW.

Do I play safe & go single transfer or go -4 or even -8.

Dalot, Cancelo

Mount, Bernardo, Grealish, Bowen

Benteke , Lukaku

Players I’d want!
