WC 24/25 thread

I was awaiting on Saka/Mbeumo news and other flags to move Palmer in. He will be in by deadline tomorrow. Was catching Bruno prise rise if was going with him. I can get to Palmer easily enough and not loose much shape to team.

I can do Bruno to Palmer, and just find 0.1 from one of my defenders. That's the route, just not sure which one to downgrade down.

Who's gonna slot in for White in Arsenal? Timber? And Calaflori on the left. Both cheaper than Gabriel but not much goal threat.

Calaifori trained and is available for selection.

But do I want that risk like? Arsenal options are so limited in defence all the same.

Easier just downgrade Anderson to something and sit on bench anyway.

Or just get Saka out for Plamer seeing as he only in partial training, and get him back week after. Saka probably drop the 0.1 also.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be going without Bruno. Granted they have a few tough games coming up but if the manager is going to turn them around then Bruno is an excellent price.

Re defenders I wouldn’t be going with stopgaps like Timber. It’s coming into a very busy period and not many teams have been keeping clean sheets.

I’d rather have 4-5 CB’s that play every week for decent teams and pick 3 each week. Players like Andersen (amazing value at 4.3m), Milenkovic/Murillo, Colwill/Fofana are all great picks. You could throw in a couple of regular starting FB’s like Hall or Robinson.

Also easy to use a FT in 3-4 weeks to move one of those defenders on to whomever looks the best Man U wingback once we know who’s starting and which one is getting more forward or more nailed.

To be fair looks an amazing team now am a little jealous, super balance and big hitters

Just make a final idea, 3rd sub of Anderson is prob never going play could potentially save .2 .3 there for future moves to someone like Greaves, but if plan rotating him in Id leave him there and may need over the xmas period

Andersen is one of the better defender picks and at only 4.3m.

Gone pressed the button on wild card number 2 as season has been fairly poor for my team since about game week 7. Hoping to play bench boost soon so want to go for a playing bench and have left nothing in the bank. Any advice on the possible changes to the following appreciated:

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Sounds like a good idea to me but I brought in Jiminez for his game against them a few weeks back just to see him get 0. The way this season has gone for me if I target Southampton they probably will go unbeaten for the rest of the season.

Edit: Not playing the wildcard to target just one week but hope to keep team unchanged for a few weeks after playing it to build up some free transfers.

Thanks for the feedback.

Definitely had Pickford in a couple of my drafts but just don't fancy him to keep that many clean sheets over the next few games and the money saved in bringing in Henderson instead seems to me to be better invested in other positions. Ramsdale is only in for playing the bench boost and I'm going to downgrade to a non playing keeper to free up some transfer funds once I have that used. Potter in at West Ham could make their keeper a good pick but willing to wait to see who he decides is first choice. Greaves and Munoz also seem like good options and may move for one or both of these over the next few weeks as normal transfers.

Have you definitely pulled the trigger ?

There are some unclear stories around Hall. The most recent I’ve heard is that he’ll miss the cup final and could be out for a while. I’d like clarity on that one myself. EDIT - just read he’s out for the season.

Nwaneri looks dodgy as Saka should be back before end of the month.

Of the 3 you’ve asked about I’d only be confident on Saliba over Timber.

I’d probably spread the risk and go Sa as you already have AWB.

I’m expecting Isak to start for me this GW unless I’ve missed something.

I’m thinking of buying Konate for Hall this week.

X is painful here

Someone may set up a new Wild Card thread as this one is fucked and there’ll be a heap of WC discussions over the next few weeks.

But maybe that’s just happening to me ?
