Gameweek 8 - Transfer Thread

With Jota suspended and Gakpo injured I guess Nunez has to start the next game right? Against Brighton who just shipped 6 - who knows what they will be like.

I made the decision last week to go with Nunez over Son, brought in JWP in 7 and Osula -> Nunez this week, means I'll have 8 attackers for a while but with Gordon suspended this week I'll need it anyway.

Botman to Zouma for a -4 is also on the cards

I'll be down to 11 otherwise. I've been running with 12 players for most of the season, Baldock and Osuna both have been injured for the duration. Gordon out this weekend also.

You could be right, chance it and wait until after the IB

Saka crocked in CL so might bring in Son

Son didn't train today, but apparently he's been managing his work load recently so that he is ok for the weekends.

Saka injury might force me into a different plan now myself. Possibly even a WC.

Hes been running him into the ground, they were 3-0 up on Saturday and Saka was limping around the pitch and Arteta wouldn't take him off

Flags, flags and more flags.

Do Zerbi had a quote about a long time. Looks like a month.

My wildcard from last week is covered in flags, what a disaster!

Was going to do the same but seen Digne was subbed at HT last night, any word on an injury?

Wishy Washy really, but sounds as if he is fit. But how fit. There's an international break now too, so surely he takes a break then, as he clearly needs it.

I'm trying to decide if Saka -> Luis Diaz for a -4 is worth it. Doubts around Saka's minutes, and the tougher fixture. But Saka has pens and has a good record of scoring/assisting in big games.

Estupinian and Sterking out for Burn and Maddison for my first hit of the season

There's a few too many 'ifs' in this. I think I'll bench Diaby, but keep him.

Actually had the funds for Son instead of Maddison so done the deed just now

Thinking of getting Vinícius in and going with a 3-4-3 this week. Fulham haven't been great attacking-wise, and Vinícius isn't guaranteed to even start, but I think he'll get some minutes against a Sheff Utd side unable to keep a clean sheet.
