DGW24 Transfer Thread

Kluivert and Quantarra in for post GW 24,AMC on Moyes,just to compensate for a 0-0 v Liverpool

Debating Faes to Mykolenko or Fleckken to Pickford as have triple Liverpool

So the two questions I had on the manager chip were answered on YouTube…but I'll add them here anyway for info in case others

First Question, If the Manager is Suspended or Booked it makes no difference, it's the team that gets the points…

The second question I had is, the extra points for teams 5 places above you…This is from the start of the game week, so if a team is playing Monday and drops places from Friday/Sat/Sun games, does not matter

Anyway, Play Slot this week and see what I need to change probably for the last week against City.

Just on the DGW players. Gakpo is in great form and I wish I owned him last week and for the run now as he does look to be first choice now in the attack.

But, he has travelled mid-week when the majority of senior players have not travelled. So he is going to be one of the starters in the mid-week team to try and have some experience on the pitch. To counter this, he did have the previous mid-week off in the CL and his minutes have been managed throughout January - 86/60/0/90/87/0/68 so there has been a few breaks.

And I do think that Nunez has a strong chance of also starting this game, even though he is not exactly a starter these days. I think it's down to how he plays against Bournemouth, and he is really able to bully their defenders. I was at the home game this season where he scored, and also made some key actions leading to Diaz scoring which Slot would have liked. He also scored 3 goals away at Bournemouth in 1.5 games last season.

We'll know more tonight with how many minutes both playing. I suspect one will get 80ish minutes and then be a sub at the weekend with Diaz & Salah starting.

For a rest??😟

Gakpo subbed off after 50 mins and got a lengthy enough standing ovation from both sets of fans..…should be a nice confidence boost ahead of the DGW

I could do the obvious transfer of Raya to Alisson but I'm thinking about Raya to Henderson and Munoz to TAA for a -4. Is it worth it?

The form that Trent is in now, he is captainable.

Ipswich: 1 assist, 0.5 xA, 2 shots, hit the post.

Brentford: Clean Sheet, 1 assist, 0.7 xA, 4 shots.

Forest: 0.3 xA, 1 shot.

Man Utd: horror show.

West Ham: clean sheet, 1 goal, 0.1 xA

Leicester: 0.5 xA, 1 shot

But saying that, Bournemouth's attacking form would lead me to think that Liverpool will concede in that game so a big reduction in point potential.

I will bring in kluivert cos after the pool game bourne have decent fixtures

well it's 4 draws in 9 league games but I take your point. There have been points dropped alright, even if Salah did score big in those draws.

I think they were unlucky to draw away against Newcastle (last minute Kelleher howler) and Fulham (played most of the game with 10 men and created a lot during that too). Forest away was a tough game also, with Sels & Murillo having a stormer. I think Liverpool would be happy with 4 points playing away to both Bournemouth and Everton. The same way they would have been happy with 4 points away to both Forest & Brentford. There's a few away tricky combos that have come up in the fixture list recently for Liverpool but have come out of it relatively unscathed and their lead intact.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Bournemouth score, but with Konate back fully fit now and that sickness in the camp looking to be back I think Liverpool are looking an awful lot more solid at the back. I think he was rushed back for that Man Utd game because of other injuries and it showed. He said he was playing with painkillers also. But against Forest, Brentford & Ipswich they looked an awful lot more solid with Forest scoring their only big chance of the game, Brentford not scoring and Ipswich scoring a very late consolation goal at 4-0 down and lots of subs made.

And just to add, I think that if Nunez starts v Bournemouth, it will suit Salah an awful lot more than if Gakpo and/or Diaz start at CF.

You can't combine chips, and this would fall under that category as far as I know.

Jackson to Wissa done to leave me with 1.5m to use AM chip on Slot. All done with 2 FT’s.

Had already done Jota to Mbuemo so now hoping Brentford thump Spurs.

Looking at those two myself.

Wood → Wissa

Gordon → Mbeumo

Would you do both this week or hold gordon for this week and go on mbeumo next?

Lovely differentials and risky moves. Love to see it.
