Gameweek 11 transfers

Surprised that FPL players are impetuous creatures with short memories

I rid myself of Costa two weeks ago and it's worked well so far. The intention was to bring him straight back but the codespeak coming from Mourinho has put enough doubt in me to think that he could be a risky proposition for his price. He was taken off yesterday with the game in the melting pot, Remy is certainly worthy of game time, I wouldn't consider it a significantly weaker Chelsea team when Costa is rested for Remy anyway.

He was taken off when Chelsea went 2-1 ahead so not sure I'd agree the game was in the "melting pot". Hazard had scored in the 75th minute and Costa came off in the 78th. It's quite natural when you have a lead in a tough game with 12 mins left to put on a slightly more defensive minded player.

Considering its Costa's first game for Chelsea since 5th October, I'd also be of the opposite opinion to you in that I'd see it as a huge plus that he got 78 minutes.

Watching the highlights on MoTD, he appears to have played well. He assisted the assister for the first goal and also gave Oscar a decent back heel where he could have scored.

He put a decent cross into the box that Ivan I think it was should have scored from as well. Not to mention he made a run in the second half where Hazard could have slipped him in but made a poor pass to William instead.

The MoTD commentator stated that he had a great first half but tired in the second which is natural given he was in hospital last week apparently.

Given Chelsea didn't play that well to create many chances, I'm delighted as an owner of him that he was as involved as he was and I certainly wouldn't ship him.

Keeping Costa. Eternal optimism re: that fella. Probably will come back to haunt me, as it has done the last three weeks but oh well. :pac:

Bought Sanchez and Wanyama in last night. Wanyama is a bit unfortunate, but he's only temporary till the next gameweek. Hate making transfers so early but they were both rising and I only had .1 in the bank. Let's hope Sanchez doesn't keel over on Tuesday night or anything like that.

Right, I've looked at this from every angle and I'm struggling to get Sanchez in without compromising other areas more than I'd be happy with.

In this screenshot, Sanchez has replaced Sterling. The ideal would be to have that front seven. Sterling's drop in value last night didn't effect me because of the price I got him at, but I'm at a 0.1 disadvantage with Sanchez' rise.

Anybody seeing anything I'm not seeing? I'm contemplating forgetting Sanchez and waiting for Walcott to return, but I need to do Sterling -> somebody in the meantime.

I can't believe people kept Costa all the way through his injury, only to sell him after his first game back. Makes absolutely no sense.

I am actually planning on getting Costa back into my team as I think he is a season keeper once fit. I'll wait until Friday though because by the looks of things his price will drop.

his price went up to 10.9 Friday night and he is halfway towards another rise

What you're trying to do is practically impossible.
You can't get 3 10+ midfielders and 2 10+ strikers in the same team and still have a decent defence.

I'd take Di Maria out for Sanchez. Much better potential value there i feel.

after this weekend united have 3 home games in 4 vs palace hull and Stoke
whilst being chronic at the back united are very good going forward especially at home
I'm delighted to see so many selling di maria
I'll probably captain him next week

Yeah, that's the conclusion I've been coming to.

I'd be drawn more to this move if it wasn't for the respective fixtures next week; I'd be worried about removing ADM before Palace at home.

I'd be tempted to swap Pelle for someone like Sakho as Southampton's fixtures will turn soon. If you want Sanchez badly enough that is...but you could probably still afford it next week for a free.

MrMac84 wrote: »

No matter if the fixtures turn or not I can see pelle scoring all season!

Yeah I can too. I think Sakho/Berahino will score a good few over the season too so it's all about picking the players you don't want to do without and scrimping on a few positions so you can get them, right?

I have nearly that exact team but must have got players in earlier than you. Only difference is I have Dummett to your Clyne and Marney as cheap mid. I have 0.1 banked.

Forster Elliott
Dummett Chambers Moore Wisdom Naylor
Di Maria Fab Sanchez Siggy Marney
Costa Aguero Pelle

The defence is weak alright but 4 of that five and Forster returned clean sheets yesterday! One even got 18 points!

When did you get Sanchez in? I can't afford to do a straight swap of Sterling to Sanchez! I was thinking of it last week but the only way i can do it is to transfer ADM out now! Still need to shift Sterling too so i reckon it could be downing in for the short term anyway!

ADM --> Sanchez
Sterling --> Downing!


Need to shift Sigurdsson next week!

Last night. Took a -4. Kaboul and Sterling out for Sanchez and Dummett. It's risky but I couldn't wait with price rises.

I would have preferred to do Siggy to Downing rather than Kaboul to Dummett but that left me 0.2 short for Sterling to Sanchez.

SpaceCowb0y wrote: »

Not really i've gone the budget route for the best part of the season

Kaboul -- Wisdom -- Taylor -- Chambers -- Duff


Kaboul tops the list at 5mil:rolleyes:

I used him to free up a mil!

you must have made a bit more to play with than myself so far then, I'd still be .3 short with that move! Fuck it anyway!

I can do a straight swap of ADM to Sanchez but Sterling needs to go too anyway before he starts hemorrhaging price hits and Downing seems in form! Hopefully ADM has a few blanks the next couple of weeks to justify it as I'm terrified dropping him!



The only other option i have is to downgrade Sigurdsson to Jedinak but i feel i'd be almost playing a 3-3-3 formation most weeks with him on the pitch

I guess it boils down to what's stronger

A) Fab -- Sanchez -- Sigurdsson -- Downing

Fab -- ADM -- Sanchez -- Jedinak

Don't want to force you into taking hits (actually don't know how many FTs you have this week) but

Sterling -> Sanchez
Siggy -> Downing
Kaboul -> e.g. Dummett
with still £0.3m in the bank if my maths are correct.

would allow you to keep ADM .

HA i literally just looked at that move before you posted! And your maths are spot on!

Definitely looks better, 8 point hit though!

Have only taken a hit once so far this season! It was also an 8 point hit and i scored 70ish that week i think!

Maybe ill just do it! i was contemplating an 8 point hit last week bringing Chambers, Sanchez and Diame in but bottled it and just borought Chambers in.

Maybe I'll just man up and take this hit this week!

Can't really do it without dropping a forward, di maria or hazard, which I wouldn't do.

Suppose you could drop Jagielka and Betrand to 4.2's and Sigurdson to a 5 and Tadic to Sanchez, not worth it.

Siggy, Tadic and Jag out for Sanchez, steven taylor (Newcastle) which leaves you with 5.3 - so can get in the likes of Jedinak, Milner, shevley, Zaha - lots of different levels of players

or take out Pieters instead of jag which leaves you with 4.6 for Wanyama

Taylor is 3.9 - and newcastle have kept 2 cleans sheets in last 3 games he's played, and are winning, so can't see him being dropped.

Im very tempted to go ahead with this

Tadic > Wanyama
Siggy > Sanchez
Jagielka > Dummett

Clyne to Dummett would probably be better though
