Gameweek 17 transfers

El Horseboxo · 15-12-2013 09:41AM

I had left money for my transfer this week to be Nasri to Silva. But then I thought he picked up his 4th yellow card so I began thinking of getting in Yaya instead. He'll be on penos while Aguero is out and he seems to score free kicks for fun. Never gets injured and rarely subbed. But has only scored once from open play this season.

However I then noticed Silva only has 3 yellows which has now left me with a tough decision. He'll assist more and should score more from open play. Has a very low ownership too.

Aguero to Rooney anyways if he's out.

EDIT: Forgot Silva got a yellow in the league cup against Newcastle. So one more and it's a suspension.

Absolute disaster yesterday lads and with my team looking like this for next weekend (3 subs injured and Brady not starting) the Jan wildcard can't come soon enough!

Anyone care to guide me in the right direction? Obviously there are problems, but I haven't a clue in what order to sort them out. My GW17 transfers anyone?

SantryRed · 15-12-2013 10:09AM

Is there any word on Koscielny? Was perfectly set up for Xmas but now that's been screwed over with him and Aguero hurt.

Thinking of replacing Kos with Vermaelen.

What's with everyone downgrading their entire back line to cheap as chips defenders?
The top three defenders in the game cost 6.0m each and if you have all three, the least you will have gotten is 72 points. That's a pretty decent points per £ spent.
With the exception of Ramsey (from early on) there isn't value like that in the Midfielders/Forwards selection as far as I can see, especially when you are forced to pick at least 3 defenders every week.

Is Dzeko worth considering with Aguero out?

Wenger said he'd be out for a while. which sounds like a few weeks. Even 2 weeks is 4 games this time of year.

Dont be at yourself · 15-12-2013 12:11PM

Did Aguero to Rooney yesterday, and now:

Ivanovic -> Shaw
Schurrle -> Yaya Toure
Brady -> Mirallas

Leaves me with:

Mignolet, Gazzinga
Coleman, Sagna, Zabaleta, Shaw, Chester
Walcott, Ramsey, Yaya Toure, Mirallas, Morrison
Suarez, Rooney, Lukaku

Anyone?

Going for the desperate approach here, I'd take FHFC's 4 year olds advice at this stage

Vlaar may be back by then. I would DEFINITELY get rid of Brady immediately. If you are selling aguero use the funds to upgrade him to a premium midfielder. I'd also look to sell Ivanovich as soon as possible and then possibly upgrade Morrison as well

eclectichoney · 15-12-2013 12:33PM

Just transfered Ozil out for Walcott - have had Ozil since he arrived so was a touch call but I think Walcott will score similarly and it frees up a million in cash.

Change your goalkeepers, to ones that play 90mins and keep clean sheets. Drop Ivanovic, Brady, the Southampton players (you need the right ones ie Llalana, Rodriguez), Vlaar, Morrison. There are much better options from teams like Everton, Newcastle, CP, Norwich.

Your strike force is fine, I would hang on to Aguero myself.

Mainly because cheaper teams were keeping clean sheets while the bigger teams weren't. It's no different than dropping an expensive attacker and replacing with a cheaper one that's in form. I started off with Terry, Coleman and Zabaleta as my main defenders. I ditched all 3 and switched to cheaper defenders and the points continued through clean sheets. Got Coleman back last week. Downgrading my defenders allowed me to get Aguero, Ozil and Hazard in.

Are you saying you don't have Mirallas yet, you've been touting him for a few weeks. I'm gutted I got rid of him a couple of weeks ago, I just felt that Delefou was going to half his gametime, now I'm going to have to bring him back in although I'm also considering Pienaar as a slightly cheaper option with quite similar potential.

Nope I haven't gotten around to it yet, other things have kept taking priority plus Everton's fixtures "seemed" tough until now. Plus the whole Deulefeu thing but if he's injured now it's more viable maybe.

I haven't got a notion what I'm going to do yet.

Nah, she was wrong about Aguero, hasn't a clue.... :rolleyes:

Alfred Borden · 15-12-2013 02:11PM

Just have enough money to do
Kos,Terry,Morrison and Aguero out and
Olsson, Rafael, Mirallas and Rooney in
tempted to do it now

Wait until after today's games at least. Nine of those players will rise before 2am tonight.

Olsson, Rafael and Rooney are playing games they could get injured in or suspended.

builttospill · 15-12-2013 04:18PM

Is there any news on Aguero's injury yet?

BNMC · 15-12-2013 04:20PM

Any love for Stephen Ireland? Only 4.6..

Villa, Newcastle and Spurs next 3 games.

So, since Cahill went off and made sure he wouldn't start against CP..

A 4 point hit was necessary. Cahill OUT, Jonny Evans IN

United have great fixtures over Christmas

Don't think he can play against Villa (on loan)

Not a bad shout, he's on my watch list

extra gravy · 15-12-2013 04:37PM

Hard to know which of these is the better option. It comes down to Rooney and Ramsey vs. Ozil and Negredo.

A.

B.

Was thinking about you all right! That's what's called reverse jinxing, and you're welcome. Unlike Mr P bigging up Rooney all week!! :mad:

Edit. Sorry, think it was lemlin predicting Rooney to clean up.

Jesus yeah, never thought of that. I nearly pulled the trigger earlier. :pac:

Lemlin · 15-12-2013 04:39PM

I'm now thinking Negredo will be my Aguero replacement, not Rooney.

Rooney played very deep today and it appears Wellbeck has done enough to earn himself a start in the next few matches.

15-12-2013 04:40PM

Lallana - > Walcott
Aguero - > ???

I'm looking at Rooney, but I can see that being quite the norm. Can Welbeck carry on this form while RVP is out?

I prefer A personally.

Ramsey is great and all, but a combo of Walcott and Ozil should surely outscore the other combo.

Based on todays United match, it seems Rooney has been asked to drop back and be a playmaker of sorts. He'll still be involved in Uniteds goals no doubt but Negredo has an away game against Fulham, then two home games (Liverpool and CP).

qwabercd · 15-12-2013 04:44PM

Thinking of an 8 point hit this week.

Rooney, bardsley and yaya in for aguero, lallana and yanga mbiwa.

Funds not an issue. Would Silva be a better option than yaya? Yaya will be on pens if aguero is out. Silva could be a good differential but not having yaya has bitten me so far so I'm leaning towards him.

Also strongly considering negredo instead of rooney. A few have questioned what sort of gametime he will get with Jovetic back but I think he will be the main man with aguero out. He has done well this season, 7 goals and 3 assists in 908 mins. Pity he's not second on penalties.

Hogey007 · 15-12-2013 05:59PM

the aguero injury has earned giroud a stay in my time, i was all set to ditch terry to free up funds to get rooney back for giroud.
Now it'll be more likley aguero to rooney.

15-12-2013 06:06PM

Will Rooney not be playing deeper? Like he did today? Is Welbeck not going to outscore him? Young, hungry, been given his chance etc...?

i wouldn't risk welbeck, took his goals well today but not a prolific goalscorer and hernandez will feature over the xmas/new year too.
Welbeck has earnt a start in the next game but when the games are coming thick and fast i expect hernandez to start a couple.
Welbeck can also be used out wide and could very well feature there with rooney up top and kagawa in behind so all in all i don't think welbeck is worth risking.
and rooney will be on pens with RVP out.
