GW 3 Transfer "Aguerrrrooooo" Thread

Hmmm... Just checked United last home results vs Newcastle since they came back to PL.

2010-11: 3-0
2011-12: 1-1
2012-13: 4-3
2013-14: 0-1
2014-15: 3-1

Only 1 CS! ...5 years ago .
Rooney only scored twice (last year). For what it's worth he doesn't have any away goal against them during the same period.

But he does have good stats against them, certainly from older results (and other comps). I don't have his assists stats too, which could change the full picture upside down.

The home CS stat does make me rethink my Coates -> Darmian for -8 now (it's neverending :pac:...). -4 for + £0.2m only? A lot less appealing now...

By those stats I'm taking it that they tonk them every 2nd season :cool: this is the season off

No CS too though will have to choose the saying here... While you say "third time lucky" we Frenchies say "what happened twice will happen thrice". Jeez even the proverbs give me a FPL headache :pac:...

my main question relates to my mf.. i have .5 in the bank..
curently its
sanchez, mahrez, depay, toure, payet..

would i be better off downgrading mahrez to a 4.5 and upgrading toure to silva?

sanchez, anya, depay, silva, payet?

its the little things... is sagna likely to stay in the city team for much longer?

lastly, where do people stand on GK's?

courtois/4.0? vs 4.5/4.5???

Why would you even consider dumping he joint highest scoring in FPL? Depay has done nothing to this point, if you are considering downgrading anyone it should be him imo.

On Sagna, it's hard to know what shape Zabaleta is in but with two clean sheets I'd be surprised if anybody gets dropped from the starting lineup at City.

Courtois is 5.5, so you have 9.5 to spend if you go a different route. Again I'd be looking at who has done well so far. Guzan and Myhill look a good alternating pair and hold the .5 for if/when Foster is back at WBA.

If I made transfers last Sunday without activating my wildcard and then made another transfer today using my wildcard, would I still lose points from the transfers made on Sunday?

No, this weeks transfers started on Friday night and it's the same week until Saturday at 11.45am.

Okay thank you.

Keepers right now are myhill and butland.. Kone is a cheap Third choice striker but I'm wondering should I get someone like deeney who is likely to play every week and a decent option also. Need to get this WC right as like many I've started terribly

For the same price you have Myhill/Guzan who offer perfect rotation. Now beware! They both returned an away CS in the first 2 GWs, so your rotation could turn into a disaster.

What's difficult this year is there is no viable £4.0m def. So far. And very very few £8.5m GKs combo (Palace when Speroni will be back, Leicester, Newcastle & Norwich) but not sure the latter 2 are worth it. So far...
So it's difficult to free cash. I actually wonder if a non guaranteed to play £4.0m 5th def (e.g. Saylor) is not the way to go .

The other possibility is to get a premium one (e.g. Courtois) and a non-playing £4.0m second GK. But as people already said, the amount of CS itself doesn't make a GK essential in FPL terms (the only exception I can remember is Forster last year but he was not that dear). Saves are very important. Pantilimon was excellent for that matter last year. And if you analyse it, he's on 3 pts this year having conceded 4 and 3. It could be much worse.

Re Koné. How much did you buy him for? 'Cause you could maybe make some £0.1m profit out of him.

But the question you need to ask yourself regarding your strikeforce is how will you line-up most weeks?

If you keep Sanchez, Mahrez, Depay, Toure, Payet with Agüero & Gomis upfront, Koné will be on the bench most week. So it's fine for now. I'd almost be tempted to get a £4.5m one who gets 30 min here and there (e.g. Grabban, Watmore) if cash can be really useful elsewhere.

And if you want Silva I'd say it's Payet or Depay that need to go for a £4.5m playing mid (e.g. D. Fletcher, Wanyama, Westwood...) so that you can spend more for your third striker.

Up to you between 3-5-2 and 3-4-3 in the end. And be sure 3-5-3 will only bring selection headaches, choices disappointments and bitter points on the bench!

Thanks for reply. I don't have Mahrez..

My choices are
A Hazard Walcott and Vardy out
Silva Albrighton and Aguero in

Or

B Hazard Walcott and Kane out
Silva Mahrez and Aguero in

Sorry, misread your post.

Thats a tough choice. Kane is a possibility of missing some time, but they have very good fixtures coming up.

I'd go A and keep Kane and Aguerro. With Kane in the side you can always downgrade to Giroud or Benteke if he continues to look like haveing second seasonitis.

Kane was brilliant on Saturday, till he got taken off/injured. I'm definitely not worried about second seasonitis, just Spurs being ****e.

He looked good from highlights, could have had a goal and assist on another day. I'm worried about holding into September when Europa group stage starts

Payet or Memphis ?

If i get Memphis i can only really afford Sakho up top. If i get Payet i can get Gomis.

Any thoughts?

Payet & Gomis I'd like best.:)

Courtois is actually 5.4 now

You might as well just call it Vardy and Mahrez or Albrighton and Kane. I'd pick the two Leicester boys and it should free up some funds if I'm not mistaken. I haven't watched Tottenham play but Kane has done nothing for me so far. I have my doubts if he will continue his spectacular form as he did last year. This post is very subjective though, it's mainly my gut instinct that tells me that option B is better.
