Gameweek 16 Transfers.

Is Fabregas or Aguero looking likely to fall tonight?

Still not sure which way to move. Want city coverage but would prefer to sit & wait!!

unconfirmed reports that aguero is 30 days, damaged knee ligament

I really hope this is true and its not long term it makes the league and ff a lot more interesting.

Wonder how much Sergio will drop to during the presumed 30 day recovery, .5M ?

Largely depends how many people think they can get away with waiting a week

Disaster. Fabregas, Fabianski & Austin suspended; Krul & Aguero injured; Bruce doesn't play. Have had Costa, Aguero, Sanchez, Siggy, Fabregas & Chadli more or less since the start of the season, so if I move anyone out to have a full team for next week, I won't be able to afford to get them back in - would lose either .3 or .4 on all above except Chadli, and have zero in the bank.

DISASTER!!

Too busy watching the pennies and you haven't got a hope of doing well IMO, the money means nothing at the end of the season, your team value means nothing, only resale means anything. What do Sigy and Sanchez have to do with anything? You have to sell Aguero, that will leave you with enough change to afford to play around a bit. Don't be afraid of a -8 when you think of the alternatives.

Fabregas --> Yaya
Aguero --> Costa

Maybe Kane to Cisse too

Am thinking Chambers to Clincy, Fab to Hazard, and Aguero to Pelle/Bony, and will still leave me with 3 Suspended/Injured.

Going to see how at least tomorrow plays out first.

Edit.

Just noticing may have to do the Fab/Hazard transfer tonight as well, one of them due to rise, and the other fall as per FFFix.

It will make the league more interesting i agree, but in terms of FF, i think not having Ageuro is going to make the game more interesting as now everyone will pretty much have excess funds, and not sure who to buy or upgrade. Following the masses won't really be an option,

So much choice now for 3 strikers

Some people like dzeko others don't,
Benteke could have had 2/3 today but didn't score - is he worth buying?
Sacko back to scoring - but will he start
Carroll - great game today - but can west ham's run continue.
Bony - hot and cold - do you want 2/3 players form Swansea in your team?
Costa - Last few months hasn't done much - Chelsea shut up shop after 2-0 up.
Giroud/Welbeck - will both play together or will they rotate?
Austin - very cheap - but going good.
United strikers have not clicked yet
Pool strikers - no one worth having really?
Berahino - since being arrested - he's gone off the boil completely - hasn't scored in last 5, and was dropped at weekend.
Pelle hasn't scored in last 6
Kane - very cheap looks promising but finishing not great

As you can see a lot of variables now -

With costa not firing many may choose to dump him, which gives even more $$$ to spend - could have approx. 22m to spend.

Hopefully!! Will he be protected?

No. He'll require a little more NTO to drop since he's flagged but hs protection will only be effective when he'll be back and his flag removed.

What I'm thinking of going with - Costa in for Augero and Sanchez in for Fab. I know Chadli is a risk there but really don't wanna take a 8pt hit. My team would then look like the below for GW16. Am I overlooking anyone?

Forster - Jakupovic

Baines - Taylor - Wisdom - Dummett - Yun

Sanchez - Hazard - Siggy - Chadli - Albrighton

Costa - Benteke - Bony

Option 1

Fab to Hazard
Chambers to Clichy (Going to take a chance on rotation risk)
Kun to Kane

All for 4 pt hit

Then next week if Silva is back Albrighton to Silva

This would give me a squad of the following for Christmas:

Courtois (Murphy)

Naylor, Wisdom, Clichy, Bertrand, Baines

Downing, Silva, Sanchez, Siggy, Hazard

Costa, Austin, Kane

What are peoples thoughts? I could afford a striker from 6.5 down but don't fancy Sakho as already have downing, Cisse may not start and they have a difficult run over xmas, Ulloa & Berahino off form, Burnley dont score so rules out Ings.

Option 2

Fab to Hazard
Kun to Bony

Then over the next couple of weeks, Siggy to Boyd, Albrighton to Silva and Chambers to Clichy or somebody else.

Will cost me 0.2 if I don't do this tonight as Hazard going up and Fab going down. Not sure what to do!

I'd personally go with Option 2. You've a good defence and Chambers only gone for 1 match. I don't really rate Kane too much either, he's a hard working striker but can't see him scoring too many. Bony is pretty consistent and you also have other options like Carroll and Benteke to choose from.

Fab to mirallas done

I'm going without a keeper next week.
I'm taking a hit for Aguero to Costa. I don't see the reward for a further hit for Fabianski to Pantillimon. If Pantillimon gets more than 4 points away to Burnley then so be it, but I'm going to gamble that he won't.

Cue peno save, cleanie and 3 bonus for Pantillimon next week as he hoovers up about 967 points.
