Gameweek 16 - Transfer Thread

I think a lot will be around 9 starters. You are lucky you have two free transfers - I would say you can afford a -4 - wouldn't be too pushed about the keepers.

thanks for the advice on the -4. I think that’s what I was looking for.. if they can prove their worth over the forthcoming games then definitely worth taking.

issue with a lot of those form players is that I have 1 (Raphina) place up for grabs this week. Will be Son if I decide to go the Lukaku route & then it leaves me with Bowen as only mid option. Which I’m ok with.

The following week I could then ship out Wilson (who’s fixture turn horrible) & Raphina for Benteke & Mount/Bernardo for a -4.

Safe option is 1 transfer.

Toney -> Benteke

or

Raphina -> Bowen, Bernardo or Mount

Ouch, I have 2FTS and yet Josh Brownhill is still likely to make my starting XI 😱

Son out to Bilva I'd say

Kane to Ronaldo and Raph to Bowen were my initials thoughts. I also have exactly enough for Kane & Raph to Bernardo and Lukaku. Tempted to punt on Lukaku for the next two homes games and if he doesn't show any form then it'll be an easy switch to Ronaldo then.

Unfortunately my sub won't play. I might just hold Sanchez though, chances are the replacement I pick will only get me 2 points

I mentioned this yesterday. If you're taking a hit to get a GK in for Sanchez, you need them to get 6 points minimum to just break even. Wouldn't be confident of anyone at that price tbh.

Even if not taking a hit, it's only 1 game and a bit of a wasted transfer IMO.

Sanchez likely to get 2 max anyway for this weekend.

I say this as a Sanchez/Steele owner.

Yeah I have Sanchez/Foster so no points this week, just gonna ride it out rather than wasting FT's.

That's a good point too. Well worth keeping Sanchez for that. Brighton not being in Europe makes it easier for them to rearrange games.

Spurs have to try fit in their EC game before Dec 31st and there are not many opportunities to do so. That game will probably take precedence for organising over their PL games. It will probably be around the FA cup weekends that Spurs will get to play one of their rearranged games, possibly the Burnley one. Depending on how both teams fare in the 3rd round

Looks like I’ll be doing Son & Toney to Lukaku & Bowen this week.

Bernardo & Benteke will have to wait a week

Werner is a massive gamble IMO.

8.3, mightn't start, PL returns are grim.

If dead set on TAA who is a necessity these days, there's a few picks like Antonio, Dennis, King, Watkins, Wilson, Pukki, even Benteke I'd be choosing over Werner right now. Allows you to upgrade elsewhere.

Getting taa is giving me double city double Chelsea and taa at the back which im happy to roll with for a few weeks meaning I either have 3 or 4 in midfield. Happy to roll with Wilson against Leicester this weekend and have Jota Salah and Bowen in midfield. So downgrading Kane I'll be moving Wilson after this week and deciding on a striker in that range or going cheap and upgrading raph to get a 4th in the middle.. Werner is risky I know but Leeds look a plum fixture now and he has found his scoring boots this year.. like I said I'll see what tuchels presser is like before pulling the trigger but he's tempting me

I think a large percentage of those playing fpl, will be caught out with postponed games and not only that the Friday deadline.

(That is what I am hoping anyway!)

My team is in a bit of a mess -

I did Hwang OUT - King IN - before the Brentford game was over (was worried about price changes at the time)

Then Toney was announced out with Covid out of the blue.

Then the Spurs game is likely postponed - plus Son has covid.

ESR is still flagged yellow - can't sell him though because I brought him so cheap seems like a waste.

Like many Sanchez/Steele owners I am likely going without a keeper this gameweek

-

I can afford to Bench Toney.

So I just did Son OUT Bernardo IN - form player/team rising in price, seemed obvious.

-

But I am well aware judging by those Fantasy Football 'Influencers' - many are getting Ronaldo In - in particular. Or him and Antonio.

I can only hope that Vardy outscores either of the above. I will likely have to sell him the following gameweek because the Leicester v Spurs could be called off. Back of my mind I am hoping that game goes ahead and Vardy plays against a weakened Spurs. As the PL would be reluctant to let Spurs call off two games in a row. Considering they already have to play the rearranged Burnley game at some stage.

I pity anyone with more than one Spurs - a couple of Brighton - and a few Leicester etc

With 6 of my team involved in spurs v Brighton I have to free hit don't I? Take a - 4 gets me 11 starters max. Disaster
