Gameweek 22 Transfers.

biscuits1988 · 16-01-2014 12:19AM

Any strong opinions on doubling Aguero and Negredo for the forseeable future? Aguero is obviously undroppable, but Negredo looks unbelievably sharp of late. I know their fixtures aren't the best for the next couple of weeks though.

Was all set on Suarez, Ag, Giroud as my three strikers for the rest of the season but re-considering a bit now in light of Negredo's form. Dzeko obviously deserves gametime too though so might be wise to forget about it.

Also, will be interesting to see if Arsenal go ahead and sign Draxler. In the event that they do, and he ends up being listed as a midfielder, he could be a serious option!

Ramsey down as having a 25% chance of playing so that's fairly low.

Sooner or Later · 16-01-2014 12:21AM

Had exactly 0.1 left to do Ozil/Rodriguez to Ramsey/Aguero
Big gamble but had to do it before the money ran out

!

Ye have Suarez, Aguero and Negredo in for this week.
Was planning on Suarez, Aguero and Rooney as my WC three now torn between Negredo/ Ade and whoever Arsenal sign as main striker! two more weeks till WC but happy with the form front 3 at minute

Pellegrini needs to get him game time to get him match fit for the big games mentioned. I'd be amazed if he doesn't start....

I agree i reckon it will be negredo and aguero up front. Dzeko has played a lot of 90 mins lately. It was telling that negredo was taken off early , I think negredo is most likely of the 3 to start and I expect aguero to be up front with him. The spurs game is in another 10 days he needs to get aguero sharp. I remember the first game of the season aguero had an injury pre season most of us thought he wouldnt play and he started that game.
I'll be doing lukaku to aguero. Like others have said the southampton issue is a problem, concerned about my boruc/davis combo now.

Pellegrini saying that both Yaya and Silva should both be fit for Cardiff. http://www.mcfc.com/News/Team-news/2014/January/City-v-Blackburn-Manuel-Pellegrini-post-match-reaction

Rikand · 16-01-2014 03:44AM

Aguero for ade. Could afford the price rise but i want him in early to save a few pound in the long run.

Hogey007 · 16-01-2014 08:31AM

was hoping aguero wouldn't score so it might at least slow down his transfers in and keep him to just the one rise before saturday. he will rise .1 tonight, no question about that. hopefully a lot of people who intend transferring him in will do it today before he rises .1 and then he won't get the full 100% tomorrow.
I'm going to wildcard on saturday as it gives me 10 days to use it and we'll be fairly close to the end of the transfer window so will know a bit more about teams.
It is tempting to wildcard now to get him in and if i was certain he'd start i might, but i don't want to use my wildcard over 2 and a half days to fit in a player who mightn't even start when there is still issues over players i want in my team like ramsey and rooney, hopefully all of them will be cleared up the following week and hopefully aguero won't cost me too much this week v cardiff :eek:

As someone said, Man City have a lot of games coming up, so it's not just a case of giving him 90mns V Cardiff to have him ready for the Spurs/Chelsea game.

18th-> Cardiff
21st -> West Ham (League Cup)
25th -> Watford (FA Cup)
29th -> Spurs
3rd -> Chelsea

My guess, he gets a 25 mintue cameo V Cardiff, starts V West Ham, 45 mns V Watford then ready to go for Spurs

I wouldn't agree with that..

He'll start v Cardiff.
He won't play at all v West Ham (since City are 6-0 up)
20 mins v Watford (maybe)
180 mins v Spurs & Chelsea.

Inspector Coptoor · 16-01-2014 10:25AM

Yaya & Rodriguez out.

Augero & Ki from Sunderland in

Front 7 I'd now
Hazard, Lallana, Eriksen, Ki
Suarez, Aguero, Adebayor

roryc · 16-01-2014 10:29AM

Praying Aguero doesn't start Saturday. I have exactly enough to do Yaya-> Silva and Adebayor->Aguero but would prefer to wait until next week. Firstly I picked Yaya in my WC and want to hold on to him over Silva, secondly I would be fuming if I took a hit and Aguero only came on for a cameo! Would prefer to hold off until next week and then use my 2 FT's to shift Adebayor/Lukaku to Aguero and Sagna/Mert to Debuchy.

Dammit why did you have to score last night you Kun(t)...

Inspector Coptoor · 16-01-2014 10:32AM

And he looked SO sharp.
1 touch to set it up, 2 touch to smash it into the net

Yep, this is way more likely. Reserve team will play West Ham.

F**k. My main rival has brought in Aguero at a hit. Makes me doing it far more likely, just dont think I can risk not having him.

I'm really not liking looking at Aguero's stats for gametime. He's been scoring well but that's in spite of not getting much game time, not because of it. Only played 90 minutes 4 times this season.

NabyLadistheman · 16-01-2014 11:24AM

Aguero's cameo last night has made a balls of my Gameweek! Have already done a -4 to get rid of Nasri & Rooney for Silva & Giroud.

Really want Aguero before his price rises but will have to wait til Saturday now. Might actually play WC now! If I activate now will I still lose the -4?

SlickRic · 16-01-2014 11:34AM

I'm just keeping Negredo this week.

the plsn at the moment is Ramsey/Aguero for Ozil/Negredo next week.

the beast is on a tear and I don't see him being dropped for a league game while it's so tight.

jaybe1 · 16-01-2014 11:34AM

No you won't lose the 4 points it's reset

pleasant Co. · 16-01-2014 11:35AM

No, wc will cancel the -4, was hoping agueros price would hold til the weekend but that isn't going to happen, he could rise by .2 but i doubt that'll actually transpire.

SantryRed · 16-01-2014 11:39AM

Is there even a point in setting up a captain's poll this week? :pac:

Wise move. Negredo should get 90 id expect aguero to be taken off for dzeko on the 60/70 mark. If I had negredo I wouldn't swap him to aguero this week

I imagine Aguero and Negredo will pinch about 20% of the votes.

This is my predicament now, my other striker is Lukaku and i'm thinking of sacrificing him for Aguero and doubling up on the City strikeforce but with Lukaku returning to West Brom I can see him doing a bit of damage also.

In a way i'd love for Pelligrini to rule Yaya out for the weekend thus forcing my hand transfer wise, I just get the feeling that if i'm left to my own devices the Gods will conspire to ensure I make a balls of it. If Negredo is certain to start as is suggested then I can't remove him in current form.

Every week someone gives a reason for why lukaku is going to do good, and every week they're almost entirely wrong, but eventually someone is going to be right, right? Maybe this'll be the week.

POKERKING · 16-01-2014 12:02PM

Im a city fan and i dont think Aguero will start this weekend, pelligrini will ease him back into it and we have plenty of games to do it before the big ones, aguero has broke down before when rushed i see no need to do it again and with the form Dzeko and Negredo are in we are in a position where we can afford not to start him.

Well one of the drawbacks of this forum is that every once in a while you get drawn in by the hyperbole that surrounds some of the distinctly average players who come into a bit of form, just like Demba Ba last year I got sucked in by the talk of Lukaku and Evertons great fixtures, because the fixtures have remained favourable I've never had the balls to move him on. The one thing this premier league season has seen a lot of is players scoring and acting like they've just heard that their granny has died, for this reason I'm probably very unlikely to move him out before the West Brom game.

I'll give him this though, he takes up good positions and has been unlucky not to score a few more recently, this is frustrating and encouraging in equal measure.

racso1975 · 16-01-2014 12:39PM

Adrian Gazzinga

Azpil Chester Sagna Gabbidon Vlaar

Ozil Barry Hazard Fletcher Januzaj

Saurez Aguero Rodriguez

Any advice please

Should say on wildcard so can make unlimited changes

What advice do you need, you must have a lot of money banked as that team has a very low value. Fletcher is a waste of time, Barry less so but despite decent returns of late he's not going to do much scoring or assisting, Ozil is too expensive but that's just my opinion. There are a lot of problems with that team IMO, tell us what you want to do, how many transfers etc, because you have Aguero can we assume you've already made a transfer this week?? etc

Just saw your edit that its wildcard. make many changes, I'll have another look in while when I've time, what is your team value?

masti123 · 16-01-2014 12:56PM

anyone know if Silva will be playing on saturday?

roryc · 16-01-2014 01:02PM

Other than Pellegrini? No.

I assume both he and Yaya will start.

Do yo not think dzeko has played a lot of football lately though. Since the palace game on dec 28th he has started 6 games in 17 days the newcastle game being the only game where he failed to complete the 90 mins. Negredo on the other hand didnt start the palace game and has been subbed off a few times most importantly last night IMO. Aguero is back training over a week so they arent exactly rushing him back. Negredo and aguero up top would seem the most likely to me.

Gameweek 22 Transfers.
