Gameweek 14 Transfer Thread.

Gentlemen didn't get to see the match so would appreciate your input.

Coutinho or Firmino ? Is Firmino Klopps new Gotze ?

I am also thinking of Vardy to Aguero to leave me with Kane Lukaku Aguero. I have to say thought that I am very torn, Vardy (I know he has a very tough run coming up) has been incredibly consistent.

Do I need to be talked down from the ledge or am I Birdman ?

Kun won't play in the Champions League. City are already through, and I think Pellegrini might just be sensible.

I wouldn't call 2 goals and 4 assists strong out of 9 games either, and the reason why you picked 9 games was cause he hasn't done much in the last 4 games?

Before today Barkley wouldn't have been consider a strong option - will he continue that form or was it just a fluke day - time will tell.

Last 9 games -

Sanches has 6 goals
Wijnaldum has 5 goals and 2 assists
KDB has 3 goals and 4 assists

I wouldn't say any of the above are on form - though over the same 9 game sample above, they have scored better.

Over the 9 games Eriksen has only gotten 3 bps. where as Ayew has 7,

In fact Deulofeu has 1 goal and 6 assists - way better form, and before today's games had more points in last 9 games than Eriksen or Barkley.

And at 8.4m i don't see the value in Eriksen at all. Ayew for Swansea offers better value imo.

I think you are seeing Eriksen and looking at past seasons and saying he's a strong candidate, Would you consider Hazard strong atm?

Eriksen has only played 9 games, he was out for 3 games early in the season. So his stats aren't that bad.

Saying that in similar price bracket or cheaper, I'd probably go for Coutinho, Delefeuo or Barkley over him atm

So. Here's my team.

Myhill Hennessey
Bellerin Smalling Kolarov Bertie Souaré
Sanchez KDB Mahrez Wanyama Payet
Vardy Kane Pellé

only £1.3m in the bank.

I can do
Smalling-Payet-KDB-Pellè -> Ryan Bennett-Ozil-Coutinho-Aguero
with a £0.2m flexibility and for a 12 pts hit.

Is it knee-jerking?

It's a bit knee jerk, but get where your coming from. Getting fed up of getting mediocre scores this season.
If you are going to go ahead, I'd be slow to get rid of Smalling, he's having a great season.

How would Payet, Pelle and Kdb to Aguero, one from Ozil/Coutinho and one from Deulefeu/Barkley work?

Similiar team to myself iroced.

Butland Hennessey
Bellerin Smalling Kolarov Bertrand Evans
Sanchez KDB Mahrez Wanyama Ozil
Vardy Ighalo Mbokani.

Couldn't you do Kolarov to Firminho instead of Smalling to Coutinho?

My plan was to get rid of Kolarov to Ake, then Mbokani to Aguero perhaps for a -4. However, Aguero rises AND Mbokani drops (I don't know how, thought too few owned him) so I can't afford Ake and Aguero.

My big problem is lack of funds for a third striker. If I change KDB to Barkley, I can just about do Ighalo to Lukaku. That's before more rises though and I'll have missed most of Everton's good fixtures.

I wouldn't be a fan of either transfer tbh. I don't see why anyone would plan ahead to get rid of Vardy. Ok he won't score every game but he's been getting points a while now, going back to last season.

I'd also be worried that Walcott is due back which impacts Giroud (once Ramsey is fit for midfield) and van Gaal is likely to throw Martial out on the wing without warning.

Then again, I'm in the process of destroying my team do I'm probably not the man to be giving advice!!

Ye your probably right. I just have it in my head to not have 2 Leicester players for their nightmare run. I'll revisit it after I see how they get on against utd.

took a -4 last night for the following:

Smalling ---> Rojo
Kompany ---> Simpson
Pelle ----> Aguero

leaves me a front seven of

Sanchez-- KDB -- Cabaye -- Mahrez

---

Kane -- Aguero -- Lukaku

nice!
I'm working towards that front 3 as well
kdb will be sacrificed though most likely

I see Vardy has been sold by quite a few of us. It's gonna make for an anxious 90 minutes every time Leicester play!

I've finally gotten rid of Pelle, after several dismal weeks the deed is done, in comes Aguero. I also removed Sanchez with Coutinho coming in meaning my team for next week looks like this

Begovic
Nyom, Moreno, Alderweireld
Mahrez, Ozil, Coutinho, De Bruyne
Aguero, Lukaku, Barry

Bench: Myhill, Delofeu, Turner, Targett

It's been a disappointing season so far, anyone with pointers feel free to have a go because I've tried basically everything so far.

Brought in coutinho and Moreno for mane and Cameron.

Going to wait until GW 16 to get Aguero at home to Swansea. What do people reckon is the maximum price he will be by then?

You would imagine he will get at least one rise this week to 13.2 before the Southampton game and then they are playing away at Stoke in GW 15. Surely he won't go above the 13.3 he was priced at pre injury before the GW 16 transfer window opens?

5/6 of his next games are horrible. Ulloa looks like he might start robbing a few goals from him. His (& Leicesters) form isn't sustainable. I'm going to say he doesn't score more than 2 in the next 6....

Welcome to the club. Nervous as hell.

He's beaten that record now as well, so that might stop him playing like a man possessed! Hopefully. Long as Mahrez keeps chipping away with points!

I can exactly afford this as it stands:

Pelle -> Aguero
KdB -> Bolasie

I've got my problem children in Jarvis and Davies and I can't possibly pull the trigger on the above until both have played their games

Butland, Hennessey,
Kolarov, Bellerin, Simpson, Francis, Dawson
Ozil, Alexis, Mane, Mahrez, KDB
Vardy, Pelle, Lukaku

I'm going to do Mane to Stanislas. That leaves me 1m short for Pelle to Aguero for -8. I don't know how to find it. I could downgrade Alexis or KDB, but I've made loads of value on them so that could be extremely costly. Likewise Kolarov, Mahrez and Vardy. Any thoughts on what I could do?

You mean Firmino in for Payet (instead of Coutinho)?

Kolarov may have to go alright but he's not far from a rise and he could grab me a £0.1m profit. He also got an assist in their home thrashing. He's heavily owned. I'm not sure yet what to do.

Not yet, he only equalled it yesterday

He actually beat it over a single season. RVN got his 10 consecutive games scoring over 2 seasons. I heard Philippe Auclair mentioning yesterday he was 2 games away from the all time English record (I guess he meant including the pre-PL era). Forgot the name of the guy.

They play United, Chelsea & City at home. United managed to concede away to Watford who can barely score a goal, so why Leicester could not break them? Chelsea is a big unknown. They have a solid game and collapse for a couple... And City concede for fun.
Now, away they'll go to Swansea, Everton, Liverpool & Spurs. Swansea haven't kept a CS in their last 7 games. Everton got their first one at home yesterday, and that was Villa. And Liverpool only got 1 CS in their last 10 games. And Klopp prefers winning 5-3 than 2-0. Finally Spurs seemed to make a habit of conceding a goal at home lately.

So yeah on paper it's horrible, and yeah it sounds impossible they can sustain such form. But, contrary to most of those teams (bar Swansea & Everton) their only focus is the PL. And I feel it's too early in the season to get caught by the pressure of their position. I mean they can't yet dream of a european position finish.
