    Kun replacement?

    Costa Kane or Sturridge?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 415 ✭✭TaytoCrisps


    6 players not starting this week, bit of a disaster ! 4 transfers done and still a few defenders left to sort out . at least its the start of the month so that 12 point hit wont hurt my monthly score

    Kane. Costa definitely no, he's just as likely to be on the bench as starting. Sturridge also high risk.

    Kane, other 2 might not start.

    For those considering Sturridge, he's going to be rotated heavily until he gets match fit, so it will be a worry each week over his playing time.

    GW 16 transfer :: Aguero to Kane


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,868 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Cabaye to Barkley done!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    I'm in a pickle even though I have two transfers and a strong lineup, I can't bring myself to use a transfer to drop Ighalo or Vardy with their fixtures,
    i'm gonna bank one transfer but my Sanchez replacement is either Hazard or Ozil, I don't want Ozil for long but his next two are hard to ignore, if Walcott got the all clear I'd prefer him.

    Much the same situation I was in. I went sanchez to hazard. Hope to get Walcott next week if he looks like starting.

    Sturridge might be a fun punt. Or a disaster. :pac: I could see them destroying Newcastle so I might just take the punt.

    Edited: Feck it. I'm doing it. This season has been a mess so far and a failed punt won't have too much impact.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,915 ✭✭✭✭menoscemo


    Gonna leave Aguero in as my first sub is Moreno and I am not sure Kane would outscore Moreno this week by enough to justify a -4. I'll likely do Aguero to Kane next week though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    Think I'm gonna stick rather than twist:

    7.7m in the bank and 1 FT to make, but think I'll leave it for next week, because the first 11's fixtures are good!

    Ruddy (wat)
    Bellerin (SUN), Bertrand (AVL), Nyom (NOR)
    Mahrez (swa), Ozil (SUN), De Bruyne (sto), Barkley (CRY)
    Lukaku (CRY), Kane (wba), Ighalo (NOR)

    Subs: McCarthy, Dawson (TOT), Richards (sou), Sinclair (sou)

    People see an obvious transfer or should I just roll?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 346 ✭✭dibs101


    Anyone getting on the Costa bus??? Home to Bournemouth with a point to prove... I've been burnt by him already this year but know chelsea gonna bash someone soon and it'll only happen if Costa is in the mix.... Am I mad for leaning words him over Kane????


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    In general for anyone changing forwards or replacing aguero i think you need to look at Spurs next 10 games below. As long as Kane continues to have some form i think hes a great option. Hes not a short term Aguero replacement hes one you can stick in and leave for the run below and who is a great captain option for probably 6 of them.

    wba, NEW, sot, NOR, wat, eve, LEI, SUN, cpl, nor, WAT

    Brought him in earlier today for Aguero. Great run of games, looks good for anyone thinking of bringing in a Spurs defender as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    Aguero to Kane done, it was him or Pelle as I plan on getting aguero back for the Swansea home game if he's fit, although, if any doubt over him starting I might keep kane, home to Newcastle, actually when I read that out loud, be hard to transfer kane out when he's at home to Newcastle (lukaku & vardy my other 2)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    I've got a choice to make.

    I'm sold on Sanchez to Hazard but I've got an Aguero shaped problem too.

    So do I?:

    - Keep Aguero and do Jarvis to Alli.
    - Go for the jugular and get Studge in (Kane and Big Rom my other 2 forwards)
    - Nothing and play Souare hoping everybody else plays and defer my problems to next week.
    - Get PVA in for Davies and captain him away to Arsenal :D

    All those would be for -4

    I also reckon that Kane will play all of the Christmas fixtures whereas Aguero will likely be rested (if he is even fit in the first place!!)

    I like the cut of ur jib,think i"ll follow suit,he cud rip ncastle to shreds even if he only gets 50min


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,966 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    I'd love to bring in Sturridge too but there's no gurantee he'll start and he is likely to break at any moment. Feic it, now I'm tempted!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,195 ✭✭✭irish son


    Brought Deeney in for Aguero and will upgrade my 5th midfielder next week and keep Deeney as my 8th attacker. Getting Aguero for Vardy last week has been a disaster.

    Get Sturridge. I did it. It'll probably fail epically but you can be my worry buddy as it transpires. :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,748 ✭✭✭Swiper the fox


    I think I am likely to go for Hazard over Ozil simply because I could never see myself captaining Ozil against any opposition, it also means I can wait till the morning as I think I've decided now but may need to sleep on it.

    I'd say you had balls of steel but you know.......:pac:

    I think you've been a bit hasty but it could be a master stroke.

    Yeah that metaphor doesn't real extend in my case. (Balls, extend, stroke *cough cough*)

    No, but seriously I know this transfer will either go great or be a mess, but if ever there was a season for acting in haste it's this one. It's been completely strange, and Liverpool are flying and Newcastle are awful. It's the perfect combination to create...something. On Sunday, we'll find out what. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,040 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    I pulled the WC trigger, happy enough with my team, if Aguero does get fit, i'll need to downgrade one of KDB/Ozil/Hazard but will cross that bridge when i come to it - hopefully Hazard finds some form tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    Right. I arranged my team around and for Agüero last GW as part of a -8 hoping to get ahead of the curve re-Agüero (since I was so late on Lukaku, I figured there was no point getting the Belgian for 1 or 2 weeks).

    Well the backfiring is the worst I ever experienced in the game in 5 years. On one hand there's the point hits, on the other hand the wasted points for not getting in the right players. And on top of that, having a team arranged around an injured player.

    So here I am.

    Myhill Hennessey
    Kolarov Bellerin Bertrand Souaré Simpson
    KDB Özil Mahrez Deulofeu Wanyama
    Agüero Kane Vardy

    I did Sanchez to Özil earlier in the week.
    What now?

    Agüero to Lukaku? Benteke? Sturridge? Ighalo?

    I'm tempted. Really tempted but it's so crazy it probably won't work :pac:
