    What would be your 2 "silly" transfers and your WC plan?

    I've already wildcarded !
    Tempted to bring in 2 of Kompany silva and Siggy this week
    If it was Silva and Siggy then it would be for Sanchez and Arnie . I regret just not keeping Payet and the FT last week to be honest
    Don't mind selling Sanchez either but if Arsenal were to lose the cup he has a great fixture next week........I'm so confused now and that's before I even look at my defensive options this week ! Prob shud just leave that alone and play alder and save the -4 komsonybwoold cost

    It's Aguero in, but I can't decide yet if it's for Kane, Vardy or Costa.

    Well as an Arsenal fan, I would say keep Kane...the thought of us going to WHL with Ospina, Mertesacker and Gabriel is bringing me out in a cold sweat!

    Costa no doubt. Likely rested then blank. Not even up for debate imo :) Other two have gw 30 fixtures

    I've the same front 3. I just don't know whether to make the transfer tonight to save 0.1. Is it really worth doing it now??

    Butland--Hennessy

    Huth--Bellerin--Toby--A.Smith--Fonte

    Ozil--Payet--Mahrez--Anya--Alli

    Kane--Vardy--Aguero

    2FTs, £3.1m in the bank. My thinking is Anya->Siggy, uses up pretty much all my funds and leaves me with the string front 8 dilemma. Anything else I should be looking at?

    So now I'm thinking Payet and Anya for Firmino and Siggy. Firmino scoring well, no GW30 fixture but a DGW coming up. Make sense?

    Save the transfer so.
    Can take a hit later on if needed.

    Would you make any transfer ?
    One of Siggy/Silva in for Sanchez / Arnie ?
    Willian has no game next week but a good one this week and I'll have to bench one mid next week anyway

    I want a City defender in for the next few games. Kompany seems the only nailed on choice, doesn't he? Or should I be extra cautious and go for Hart?

    I have 2 FTs:

    Nyom/Hennessey -> Kompany/Hart
    Payet -> 6.7m/6.8m midfielder

    Any opinions? Looking to WC in GW33 and well behind in my leagues.

    Can u put up your squad and what's in the kitty?

    Thinking augero triple captain myself. Can I play all out attack in the same week?

    I just think there's too many ifs and buts re. who you could bring in and who's coming out. Costa got given an offside goal and Norwich wasted good chances. Willian and Arnie tend to be heavily involved in goals for their teams and Arsenal could lose in FA cup. Your WC safety blanket is gone so....hold imo.

    I like it especially if your a post dgw34 wildcarder.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭shineon23


    Well I've made a pig's ear of my team.
    Anyone with an opinion on how to best sort this out?

    I forgot to factor in Costa getting rested at Stoke now that he played at Norwich. (had pre-planned selling Costa for Kane next week).

    Now I'm being forced to play Dier (or Wollsheid).

    Transfer will be Sanchez to Siggy/Ayew or Silva.

    Leaning towards Silva because he's playing Villa but not sure a City double up(with Aguero) is warranted,
    so is a Swansea MF probably the most sensible option?

    I was encouraged by Sanchez last night so I wouldn't be surprised if he scores Saturday but I need to get rid of him for GW30 anyway.

    Team at the minute is
    Hart
    Cedric-*Targett-Simpson-Dier

    Arnie-Ozil-Mahrez-(Silva or Swansea MF)

    Aguero-Vardy

    Subs: Hennessy-Alli-Wolly-Costa

    *I'm starting Targett as it's Sunderand he's facing even though he probably won't play, and it might be a complete reformation for Southampton again with Pelle the only fit striker.

    Yes I think you may be right
    I'm going to leave midfield and play Sanchez. If be sick if they lost against hull and he HD west brom at home gw 30 after I sold him!
    Still considering wolly to Kompany though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 212 ✭✭Fant11


    Butland McCarthy
    Ivan Bell Alder Moreno Huth
    Mahrez Arnie Ozil Alli Stanislas
    Aguero Kane Vardy

    1ft. 3m in bank. Any advice lads pls? Looking ahead to GW 30, possibly get Kompany or Williams for Bell or Moreno in this week but would also like sig for stanislas giving me 5 strong mids.

    What's your WC plan? How many FTs? Costa played Tuesday so I think it's best to assume he starts. Sanchez is a hold for me if you have WC. Would suggest a Liverpool defender or midfielder as I'm of the opinion that 11 starters in GW30 could be OTT. I'm fielding 10 when I get Kompany and Siggy in this week for a hit.
    All that been said Siggy is a likely transfer for me

    1 FT

    No wildcard date set yet, other than Im planning on going with the now unpopular tactic of building up 15 Double Game weekers and then using Bench boost. Just waiting on fixtures to settle before I decide to WC before the double or after to fix up for the run in.

    I have one of Firmino-Coutinho-Sturridge on my radar alright for after GW 30.

    And I'm holding Ozil next week so I think Sanchez has to make way,
    will bring him back when I can as noone in my private league has him.

    I have 12 GW 30 players including Hennesssy/Hart and Targett, so am planning on one more to field 11.

    I'm still playing catch up in a big way so need all the points I can make up on rivals, same reason I'm set on 15 doubler game weekers or as near as possible to 15.

    Possibly Sanchez > Silva

    Again I think it all depends on when you WCing or if you have.
    Post GW34 Moreno is a hold and no to Williams, Kompany yes.
    Stanislas will miss the next 3 GWs but your short a def for GW30......bank the transfer imo.

    Why do you think 11 starters for 30 will be ott?
    Confused at that statement

    Yup! I have 12 squad members available for GW30, will be 14 if Arsenal don't have a blank! Overkill huh?!

    Unpopular, I'm not so sure. I plan for 15 DGWs in GW37 bench boost.(Hopefully Vardez and Fuchs are on their holliers by then)
    My advice is still the same-don't bring in another SGW guy or perhaps roll the transfer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,672 ✭✭✭ElTel

    I'll have too many guys who wont have a DGW for my plan for a WC after the first DGW. Hope that makes sense.

    Well I was aiming for the GW34 DGW for bench boost, as I think it's risky in my case to wait for GW37, as I could be fallen very far back by then with no hope of making up ground in GW38.

    People on here seemed to have been shying away from a GW34 BB, but I could really do with them 64 points from gametime, and then hold my TC for a second DGW or a Lukaku Triple GW would be lovely.

    Not bringing in a SGW-er is good advice, I think that's where I lost my way as I brought in Arnie mid week, having only been considering a Swansea MF for the last few weeks.
    Silva maybe ideal here as he has a double at some point. None of my rivals have him either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,307 ✭✭✭DarraghF197


    Sanchez > Siggy done before the price fall.

    My midfield has an average value of less than 6.5M, wtf?!

    I'll still have 3 Lei and 2 Spurs in GW34 in all likelihood but that would not put me off BB if I like the way the fixtures fall and I then change tactic on squad for TC in GW37. But I decided a while back I'll WC after GW34 which has me "sacrificing" GW30 and from the looks of it confusing a few Boardies. I'd like to hear Siblers thoughts on it too 'cos I'm thinking glory or bust. ( would like to think I'll be playing this game for years to come and still having the crack with my mates and posting on here too but would love to hear the trials and tribulations of the veterans who have gone close or a link to older threads.)
