GW16 - Transfer Thread

Just realized 4 of my midfielders will be off to AFCON/Asia Cup in January. Anyone know what game week this starts from and when it’s likely to end? Do the 2 run over much the same timeframe?

Tsimikas and Nunez benched

wrong thread

Has Hwang got Asian Cup coming up?

If we knew for sure that Garnacho would retain his place, and from all the evidence he really should, then he’d be some steal at 4.7m.

You reckon he’ll mostly end up on the bench for United or do you mean you’d mostly bench him if you owned him ?

If I owned him I think I’d have to start him. The biggest problem being his minutes might not be as guaranteed as others.

If his minutes were guaranteed I wouldn’t hesitate to start him if I owned him. Assuming United maintain the kind of performance they gave tonight.

FPL players would bench him as he's 4.7m.

Thinking of doing Mbuemo to Grealish. Seems an obvious starter after being suspended last night.

He'll be gone to AFCON soon as well though

Would you have gone for Palmer to replace Mbuemo if you didn't have him?

I'm haven't started my search for a Mbeumo replacement yet but the plan a couple weeks ago was Palmer anyways. I'm bouncing up and down rank, generally staying the same. I'd suspect a lot will Mbeumo to Palmer so might look for an alternative to try make ground on others with a punt. A risky punt given Palmers returns, albeit a lot of pens, and fixture run. He has high xGI.

Probably would go Sterling if I idn't have Palmer. More of a threat to get a real big score I think, obviously you can do a lot with the extra 1.7m tho.

Nice Christmas fixture list though so could be a good short term punt. Palmer, Hee Chang and dare I say Mctominay are the other contenders.

No such thing as an obvious starter in Pepworld. But if Doku is still injured he has a good chance.

The Asian cup is keeping me away from Hwang and while Garnacho would help me move away from having 8 attackers with genuine starting claims every week, as such, it wouldn't fund TAA and I'm locked out with max Liverpool. TAA could well come in during AFCON though. Have to spread that Salah money out.

Yeah I think Sterling is a nice alternative, and while he might not get the consistent points, he is more capable of a haul.

I am half thinking of Foden. Max Man City attack with Alvarez & Haaland, surely they bounce back while playing Luton and Palace. Very little would have all 3. BGW18 I know but I have 15 playing players at the moment so I'm in a bit of luxury position. The FT could cover any injury that week.

Son did an interview after the game and will seemingly be fine for the next game (On Twitter)

Was so set on getting him but still not sure now as they’ve lost 4 of their last 5 and drawn the other one.

I only fancy 2 of his next 5 games before he heads off for international duty.

Just picked this off Twitter now. Assume it’s after tonight’s game.

The guy has 160k followers so can’t afford to be fuckin about/lying.

edit - it shows Son, in pain, on the bench
