GW 8 Transfer Thread

Arsenals injury crisis in midfield actually makes Welbeck more appealing for me.
They still have plenty of people to create chances, I think the injuries just make Welbeck more pivotal to those chances.

yeah you never know they might go a bit more direct. he's looked pretty dangerous when playing on the shoulder of the last defender. Arteta and Sanchez are great for those kind of through balls

Tadic is on pens so I'd say he is worth a bit more

I'm doing something different this week and tadic is up there .......fab or sterling may make way.......
I'm going for him !

Wouldn't you consider Chadli or Walcott if you have the cash (which I guess you should have with £1.6m in the bank...)?

I would I suppose, Walcott more so than Chadli. But I'll wait a couple of weeks after Walcott comes back and see how he fares out. He'll probably get only 30 minutes or so in the first couple of games back.

Henderson has very good stats so far. See this article...

Still undecided what my transfer this week will be, have 0.5m in the bank.

Can't decide whether I should do:

a). Kompany out, Baines in.
2). Kompany out, Azpi in (this means I'll have 1.0m itb for future transfers)
iii). Moore out, a 4.5 def in.

Any opinions?

I'm now thinking tadic and baines in for fabregas and moreno.......leaving enough money to upgrade PVA to rose or kaboul next week?

sounds pretty good

I'd second that. I would see Azpi as a better option than Baines.

Great article. Thanks for sharing. I guess it is still early days for the comparisons they make to be really noteworthy but it's very interesting and could be a way to upgrade defense/keepers without depleting elsewhere upfront.

Food for thought.

Who are yoiur other 2 forwards? Who are your other 4 midfielders? That may help us advicing you one way or the other ...

Ye I'd go for it but would hold off till next week.

Used a transfer already this week.

Might bank the other one & do this next week

Arghhhhhh... So many options out there, it's driving me mad.

I've 2FT's and my defence is ok(ish) for the time being.

Current front 8 is
Sterling - ADM - Fab - Chadli - Boyd
Aguero - Costa - Ade

Now... The first part is easy. Ade is out.

I've been over and back between Pelle & Welbeck.
My gut is also saying to get both Southampton & Arsenal coverage for their run of fixtures.

I've fallen out of love with Sterling but I don't think it's wise to get rid of him just yet. High ownership and nice fixtures could burn me.
I'm not even considering Fab out just yet as I'd be much happier to wait until his form dips rather than listen to stories of him over-performing.
ADM is in no real danger just yet.

That leaves me in a hipsterish position. Do I dump Chadli just as he's becoming cool City this weekend is helping me want to move him on.

My latest options for Ade & Chadli are
1. Pelle & Ox
2. Welbeck & Mané (can't afford Tadic)
3. Welbeck & Siggy

As I've typed that out, I can't see how 2 is better than 3.

So... Anyone want to convince me that Ox is worth a little punt while he should be guaranteed gametime?

The other option I have is to keep Chadli and bring
4. Pelle & Santi in for Ade & Sterling

This option frees up over 1m that could come in handy at the back in future weeks or could facilitate a Fab -> Hazard.

Too many options. My head hurts.

Why don't you just do Ade to wellbeck or Pellè and hold the 2 transfers till you need them.

That would be sensible option that I'm trying to fight for some reason

I think it's the right call though.

If I were you think I'd only do

5. Ade -> Pellè. Keep your saved FT for later. I don't see it necessary this week.

I understand chosing between Pellè and Welbeck can currently almost sound like chosing between your mom and dad but I may give you a few reasons to go for Pellè now. Sure it probably won't convince you 100% (as I may not even be myself but let's try to be 100% rational) but it's a bit like the Costa vs Aguero captaincy choice, I feel these few reasons might be lower risk.

1. Pellè has a better current record. I know different oppositions. But the next 5 games are easier for Pellè (SUN h, STO h, Hul a, LEI h, AV a) than for Welbeck (HUL h, SUN a, BUR h, SWA a, MU h) so there's no rational reasons why Pellè would stop his good run. And there's also no rational reasons why Welbeck would substantially outscore him over these 5 games.
   
   If you want Arsenal coverage, maybe a Sterling -> Walcott transfer for the Burnley home game would be your perfect answer in an ideal world .
   
   
2. No Champions League "distractions" for Pellè.
   
   
3. Pellè's more expensive so the Pellè -> Welbeck switch, if needed, should be easier than the opposite one.
   
   
4. Southampton are playing better than Arsenal at the moment. The injury crisis at Arsenal may or may not suit Welbeck's FF potential. The thing is we just don't know yet. While in Southampton there's nothing to worry about. And hopefully that stays like that.
