Gameweek 10 transfers

That's funny you mention Brunt. I've been considering him as a 4th mid today. I was quite happy to persist with Puncheon as long as he was starting as I know he will score goals but he was left out on Saturday and I can't be having that. I can afford to upgrade Siggy to Sanchez if I bring in Brunt for Puncheon, my other thought was Jedinak, as he's on penalties and seems guaranteed his place he's tempting me also.
Any other suggestions in the 5.4 or less category?

Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that Jedinak has caught my eye too. On penalties and makes a nuisance of himself in the box. I've dabbled with Brunt for a while most seasons everyyear

how's your team value shaping up? i'm half looking forward to having a squad with Costa Aguero Hazard ADM Sterling Walcott Siggy and Baines in it a few gameweeks down the line. Rest of the squad will be the cheapest of the cheap but i'm severely tempted

Not good. A resale of 101.3

The whole lack of transfers or wildcard and stalling the last few weeks is catching up a little

Yeah the hollywood idea i just mentioned is tempting, tho the funny thing is there's so many cheaper players performing well the extra value may not be of much real benefit. As regards Jedinak i'd have him as a 1st sub and no more, but even at that i'd be inclined to get someone cheaper as they'll spend the majority of gameweeks on your bench anyway. Have you pulled the trigger yet? Or are you gonna hold off til the next int'l break?

No trigger pulled yet. Waiting to see if Jose has anything to say tonight. I'm edging closer though.

When are the points deducted then?

In these case, the points are only deducted from your overall rankings, not from your monthly rankings.

Bit on an impulse buy with 2 FT's

Wilson --> Baines

Sterling --> Diame

Lads I have Begovic, Sterling and ADM dropping before the end of the week. I'm hovering on the WC but anyone see a -4 hit here...

Begovic
Baines - Clyne - Moore (Naylor, Duff)
Fabregas - ADM - Sterling - Sigurdsson (Boyd)
Aguero (c) - Welbeck - Pelle

Thanks!

I have the same front 7 as you. I am not too concerned on price drops as Sterling could get a great haul at Newcastle. Don't waste your WC is my opinion. I was looking to get rid of Sterling before he falls but I don't see any better options at the minute. I can afford to lose .1 on ADM. Going to wait til fri before making transfer, if I make one at all.

Right so i didn't get to see any of the games at the weekend, bar United game ,
Sanchez seems to be clicking these days, how did he play at the weekend, from all accounts arsenal were gifted the 2 goals?

I have 2 FT and 1.4m in the bank

I can afford to do Sterling to Sanchez, then my options are one of

Costa to Rooney - Back after suspension, big game and has a good record v city, however he may not be fit, therefore Costa to anyone else is an option.

Welbeck to either Sakho or Berahino

Pocognoli/Wilson to a 4.1 defender or lower - i'm thinking of Steven Taylor of Newcastle - he's back in the team and newcastle are winning games - 3.9 million means i'll have 0.2 to spend elsewhere if needed.

Any thoughts welcome.


Team is

Mannone, Myhill
Baines,Wilson, Duff, Hutton, Pocognoli
Sterling, ADM, Fab, Boyd, Cork
Augero, Costa, Welbeck

You tempted by ADM to Hazard?

I was looking at Hazard alright, depends on whatever happens with Costa. I have 3.2 left in the bank to simply upgrade Welbeck / Pelle to get him back in.

I was also looking at doing Taylor ---> Baines. The ADM to Hazard switch becomes a player then as Costa would be out of my plans for a while anyway and would need the extra CFC coverage...

Decisions decisions!

Sterling to Hazard done. Just on the off chance Sterling drops in price tonight ahead of schedule.

One more ft but may bank it again. Managed that feat once last season, this could be third week in a row and 4time in 10 weeks.

Im tempted to just not log in to boards till next week lol

Definitely wouldn't wildcard in your situation.

Keepers are a minefield so Begovic might not be that easy to replace in any event. ADM should be a season keeper IMO, despite his tough fixtures. I haven't had him yet this season but am making plans to get him in. A price drop for someone for ADM shouldn't really matter as he's not a player who needs to be gotten ridden. Sterling may need to go alright as liverpool aren't the same force going forward with no SAS.

By way of comparison, my team before my FT this week (sterling --> sanchez) my team was:

Mannone Gilks

Kaboul Wilson Chambers Hutton Naylor

Sterling Fab Siggy Silva Boyd

Costa Aguero Pelle

My team is in worse shape than yours but I still don't think it's worth wildcarding as there aren't enough must do transfers to warrant it. May yet take a hit to get rid of Mannone but just can't find a suitable replacement (0.0 itb).

TL;DR I wouldn't WC, would bring in a replacement for Sterling.

Just pulled the trigger on the same transfer.

Also have another FT. May switch Siggy out for Eriksen, but want until last minute in case of any last minute injuries. I feel Eriksen could do something - Villa are awful at the minute.

Looks like we were just in time! He dropped last night.

I've finally spent my big bank balance. Only 0.1 in bank for the first time this season. Have really found that having a decent bit of cash in the bank has been invaluable in allowing me to be flexible and get a form player in without hits.

With Costa continuing to fall. Should I get rid of him (i have no FT)? For who?

From 11.2 to 10.8 gives me only 0.1 made. This makes me sad
