Gameweek 18 Transfers.

I had planned to transfer Terry out but then Mignolet faces City away. That could be a bloodbath.

I need 1 million to be able to afford to go Brady to Silva so I might just transfer out Mig for Mannone. My long term plan is to have Krul and Mannone so that'll free up 1.3 million for now.

Mannone is away to Everton. Still not a great fixture but better than facing City at the Etihad!

Looking at Mignolet out to Lloris. Just trying to see myself through with transfers until January 1st.

I am thinking of getting Kolarov in place of Zabaleta, he's produced some nice points from assists of late, if Yaya is off, he will likely take free kicks too.

think I read somewhere that zab's injury isn't too bad and he might be back in a week. I could be wrong but have a look into it before you do anything.

Suarez in again, want to have at least 2 of him

Good thing about Suarez is he will sort the in active accounts as he missed the start of the season.

His owned % after Xmas will be a true reflection of active accounts.

Thinking of going Mig to De Gea myself, will have a better idea today whether the Villa clean sheet was the start of them tightening up.

Yep a week or 2.

PELLEGRINI: I think Pablo is not so big an injury. Maybe he will be back soon. Maybe a week or two, but the doctor will decide #mcfc

As expected since last week, I'm looking at Coutinho to Walcott. Liverpool have been scoring but he just can't seem to get involved, despite being unlucky (hitting the post again today).

Walcott is at 80% to a rise but will wait until after Arsenal game.

Looking at my first 4 point hit in a while but I see it as necessary. Mig to Mannone and Brady to Silva.

Silva will probably get booked when I bring him in but it's a long term transfer.

Any good defenders for £4.6m not named Chester or playing for Sunderland that have nice fixtures over the Christmas period?

Walcott and Januzi in for Townsend and Lampard. Small risk with Walcott playing on Monday, but hopefully he comes though ok.

Current squad.

Krul
Pantilimon

Davies
Turner
Fonte
Coleman
Terry

Nasri
Bannan
Hazard
Bacuna
Ramsey

Negredo
Suárez
Lukaku

Looking like time to get rid Pantilimon, and need some Utd coverage, currently 4.8 in the bank, but want to save some/most of that to bring back in Agüero when injury clears.

Any suggestions?

Anyone know much about Norwich's Whittaker? He's £3.9m and has started the last three games, with Norwich becoming tighter at the back only conceding 1 goal. He has picked up 2 yellow's though. Has he replaced someone specifically or just rotation?

I think he has taken russell martins RB spot. His place to lose now it seems.

Mig and Cabaye out for Krul and Silva. not sure if Silva is a panic transfer though as i have no City cover at all.

I'm considering an 8 point hit, I think for the first time ever. May need to be talked out of it

Nasri, Coutinho & Vlaar OUT
Yaya, Walcott & Olssen IN



Both Yaya and Walcott rise tonight. I could wait but then I would have under £4m to work with for a defender, and I want to bring someone from Norwich in as they rotate well with Chester from Hull. As my post above says, I could hold off and bring in Whittaker and Walcott this week, giving me £9.9 to bring in Yaya next week after the Liverpool game (assuming he doesn't rise by more than £0.2 this week). The there's also Silva. I have three options:

A.Take an 8 point hit now and do the transfers above, and risk Walcott getting injured on Monday. But I'll have Yaya and solid Norwich defensive coverage.
B. Take a 4 point hit later this week and get Walcott in after Monday (when he's risen £0.1) and Whittaker who I have no idea will even play. Then get Yaya in next week as my FT if he hasn't risen past £9.9m.
C. Wait until Monday, bring in Walcott as my FT and then look at Nasri to Silva with the following weeks FT (if he hasn't risen above £9.3 - he goes up tonight)

There are definite benefits to A despite the 8 point hit - Yaya is so dangerous and should outscore Nasri in the Liverpool game. I'm not even sure he's guaranteed to start with Silva back fit. And Ollsen should have his spot nailed down so less of a worry there than Whittaker. Only issue I would then have is being so happy with my team that the Jan wildcard almost becomes unneeded!

It's either A or C for me, I don't think I want Whittaker in the team. So it's either Silva or Yaya!
