    Already want to reverse my Rogers to Diallo transfer. Pure muppet I am.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 728 ✭✭✭Newbie20


    Will probably take Saka and Pedro/Cunha out for Sarr and Isak. Might have to wait a few days to see what the story with Cunha is, would hold him for the United game if his suspension isn’t before it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,477 ✭✭✭Invincible


    Done Saka to Maddison

    Wissa to Isak for -4



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,659 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    I can do Saka/Joao Pedro → Diaz/Isak for a -4.

    Is it too reactionary? Maybe Maddison/Kulu instead of Diaz?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,984 ✭✭✭ForestFire


    Think Saka will have to wait on the bench for a week or 2, until he is back!!

    Probable need to do Cunha to Isak or Jesus? Maybe swap Johnson for someone (Then I can live with Saka on bench) and still have a defender to sort out!!,

    Anyone else still have Haaland? Thinking of -4 to move him and Larsen to Isak and Jackson



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,659 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    4 weeks out for Saka would mean missing 5+ games. Hamstrings are generally not fast healers. Depending on the severity, it could well be more than a week or two, and a lot of money to leave sitting on the bench.

    Current reports say he is out for "several weeks" but who knows with Arteta and his press conference nonsense around fitness. Saka has been ever present for a number of years now, with an excellent injury record. Which is one way of looking at it, the other being that Arteta flogs him with little chance to rest, which could suggest that Saka could be rushed back. It's extremely rare to see him left out of the match day squad for rest, or remain on the bench.

    Tempted by Saka/Pedro to Ismail Sarr or Iwobi/Isak, but I'm worried it's a case of chasing last week's points.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,984 ✭✭✭ForestFire


    When I worte that he was Yellow flagged, but obviouly looked like a mussel injury anyway when he went off.

    When is it possible hes value could drop again…does the red flag protect for a week or so?

    Just need to see need what order to do things and what games are coming up.

    When will we hear on Cunha?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,408 ✭✭✭fplfan12345


    Jesus you’ve some patience.

    It’s mad that he’s currently the highest scoring striker and only 4 players have scored more than him.

    I don’t think you can sell him with the 5 fixtures he has coming up. You’d nearly have to captain him and double down.

    No one tempting me as an obvious Saka replacement at the minute. Diaz possibly or Maddison, but wouldn’t surprise me if neither started the next game



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,408 ✭✭✭fplfan12345


    From my notes - Saka replacement - Rogers, Gordon, Jota, Foden, 



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,984 ✭✭✭ForestFire


    I've gone Johnson to Diaz, as Johnson about to drop (Not sure I like that website since someone posted it) and Diaz seems to be back in favour a bit , with LEI next.

    Still might need to switch a Striker(Cunha)…and Saka!! as I have few defenders

    I’ve done RAN/Saka/ESR out to Huijsen/Diaz/Martinelli for a -4



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 11,134 Mod ✭✭✭✭F1ngers


    Saka/ESR to Martinelli/Sarr.

    Thinking of a -4 of Strand Larsen to Jesus.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,396 ✭✭✭Porthallian


    So apparently after many festive beverages last night I played my Free Hit.

    Team I woke up to is

    Raya

    Gabriel TAA Cucurella

    Salah Palmer Diaz Rogers

    Jesus Isak Jackson

    Fab Kluivert Huijsen Burn.

    Actually not a bad team. Not sure I'll tinker much with it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,176 ✭✭✭Officer999




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,549 ✭✭✭✭machiavellianme


    That's a bold move. It's kind of weird having to scroll to page 4 of the midfielders list to find a 9.1m midfielder. Sure he has missed 5 games but 1 goal and 1 assist all season isn't a great return.

    But now you have me tempted...

    Gone Saka to Gordon. Don't know what City are going to do puts me off Foden.

    Still want to ship out Mitoma and Van Hecke but will have to wait.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,351 ✭✭✭G1032


    Diaz or Jota were probably top of my list but I don't know who is going to start or who will end up keeping a spot. Odegaard isn't enough of a goal threat for my liking. Martinelli was a strong option and if he fills in on the right for Saka he could do really well. But we won't know the set up until Stephen's Day. Maddison was on my list but Spurs are really woeful. Sarr another option but is his recent good form likely to last? My thinking with Foden was that City will come out of this slump sooner rather than later I think and he's likely to be heavily involved. Worth a shot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,984 ✭✭✭ForestFire


    If you want to take a bit of a risk…no one has mentioned KDB yet??

    Currently 4.7% ownership for a great differential…not sure on his starting changes…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,351 ✭✭✭G1032


    He crossed my mind but I've my transfer made now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,497 ✭✭✭barneygumble99


    Does anyone know what’s happening with Cunha?? Has he a date set for a hearing??



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,121 ✭✭✭✭Cartman78


    Looking at a hit for Saka & ESR out for Diaz and Kulu.

    Only sold Diaz for Sarr last week 🙈🙈...held him for ages but looked red hot against Spurs so minutes should be slightly more secure



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,984 ✭✭✭ForestFire


    If there is no news today then he surely has to be okay for Stephen's day??

    Noone is working tomorrow to decide on appeal?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,497 ✭✭✭barneygumble99


    it’s said he had u til December 19th to provide a response but can’t find any more info. Usually happens quickly with things like these , am reluctant to transfer him out but he has 136k in and 216k out so far.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,351 ✭✭✭G1032


    My back line is Mazraoui, Digne, Hall, Timber and Bednarek

    Is it worth a hit to bring in either Gabriel or TAA for Mazraoui?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,984 ✭✭✭ForestFire


    I think on the 19th he provided a response and decided to apeal…He could have accepted and it would all be done.

    But how long is an appeal (Normally days to a week?) and is it affected over the holidays.

    I'm keeping him for now anyhow
