GW38 Transfers. Final chance for a blaze of glory.

Pagliuca · 13-05-2016 12:02AM

Considering De Gea in for Gomes as my last transfer of the season. Far from a blaze of glory, very boring.

I need to make up 7 points on a guy for €500.

Hogey007 · 13-05-2016 07:18AM

Everton crap at the back but any chance they'll let Howard take a penalty in his last game?

Advice please. 12 points behind,these are the two full teams:

Mine:
Foster - Mannone
Moreno - Kone - Bellerin - Darmian - Lovren
Iwobi - Noble - Mahrez - Payet - Sanchez
Sturridge - Kane - Carroll

Rival:
Gomes - Hennessey
Moreno - Bellerin - Cresswell - Delaney - Cathcart
Sanchez - Payet - Townsend - Firmino - Iwobi
Aguero - Carroll - Sturridge

Only 1 transfer. Thinking Sturridge to Shane Long, or should I get rid of Iwobi?

All going to come down to Captain choice. I can see them captaining Sanchez, but I don't know who I should captain...

Sorry to quote myself, but any advice? Just realised they could captain Aguero, so I'll probably stick the armband on Sanchez

Sanchez probably the best option even though good chance your rival will do the same.

The FFIX algorithm team for GW 38 has Mata instead of Tadic

That's put a sliver of doubt in my mind but gonna ignore i think and press ahead with Giroud & Tadic in for Lanzini & Sturridge

It's interesting as i was looking at options last night and Mata was appealing to me. I had briefly considered him for DGW37 and hadn't realised till last night he scored so well with 16.

I don't think I can afford it without a hit so I won't be tempted this time !

Here's my final week predicament. Person I am chasing is 6 points ahead of me. We will both be captaining Sanchez I presume. We will both have probably 5 of the same players playing (he used wc in recent few gw). Of the remaining players, 3 of the players are from the same teams, are same position but different players (eg. two chelsea mids, etc). That only really leaves a big differential of 4 players, and tbh his are better options than mine, namely his goalkeeper and defender. I do have aguero though which he does not, and city are still playing for something (he is relying on 2 city players to keep clean sheets). Is it worth taking a -4 to try create some differential?

I would like to get giroud in but would mean getting rid of carroll or martial, (West Ham pushing to try finish 5th) and possible coutinho (don't see him playing 90 minutes with europa league final wednesday), but that leaves me with either Robles or Darlow in the sticks, Robles probably won't start in Howards last game for Everton, and Newcastle relegated against a spurs team chasing second place.

Edit: Swapping Carroll for Rashford would allow me upgrade Coutinho to Ozil, or upgrade my keeper to anyone. Really don't see coutinho doing much so don't mind getting rid of him.

km79 · 13-05-2016 11:39AM

getting tempted by rashford/martial for Carroll
or tadic for Townsend
or Gabriel for smith

DarraghF197 · 13-05-2016 11:53AM

If I didn't have three Arsenal players already, I'd be considering getting in Giroud and captaining him. He played really well in the last game and is a very streaky player. No competition up front so guaranteed starter.

Not so confident in my current captain Sanchez who is not in the best frame of mind it seems. But it's Villa so I have to!

Nine points ahead in my league, thinking of getting Defoe in for Carroll just to cover second place off.

I'd get rid of Martial rather than Carroll. That stoke keeper is awful.

Getting Giroud makes a lot of sense.

Don't keep Coutinho as he won't play.

Buying Long may help you get KDB - not sure about your cash flow.

I'd leave Darlow in rather than take a hit.

I wouldn't buy Rashford.

I'd also captain Agureo all day long over Sanchez.

Best of luck !

hufpc8w3adnk65 · 13-05-2016 11:57AM

Hi lads chasing a lead of 22 points is this worth a -8

Looking at going Carroll Defoe Mahrez too deeney long and Yaya

Am I mad??

LightsStillOn · 13-05-2016 11:59AM

Thinking about double up on City up front with Aguero & Iheanacho. Stupid move?

I'd much rather KDB than Yaya. He's not a patch on the player he was a couple of seasons ago.

what's wrong with Alexis ?
have I missed something

siblers · 13-05-2016 12:02PM

Don't bring in Yaya, may not start and is useless. Tadic or Mata are better options

Looking at the two teams is it mad if I take a minus 8 meaning I've 30 points too make up before a ball is kicked

I'd just captain someone your rival doesn't have or won't captain. No point in making it a 30 pt lead. With a bit of luck he may take pts hits to help reduce your gap.

Walked straight down the tunnel when substituted against Norwich and apparently left the stadium. Rumours that he wants to leave in the summer. That said, Sanchez is such a self-motivated player he would never put in less than 100%

So after a disasterous first half of the season (everaged 1 to 1.5 million OR, I’m up into the top 100K and have managed to get to the top of my work leages. Thanks in no small part to the advice I got on here. So one last week and I’m 17 points ahead of second place (50+ ahead of third). I think I have him but any advice would be great. I’m thinking of Long/Rashford in for Carroll but should I just go Deeny and block that instead? Other options were getting in Tadic for Mahrez but not sure that’s worth a -4.

Thinking of lining up with team in bold. Have AOA chip left and am a bit nervous about doubling up on Arsenal def but I think it’s worth the risk??

Him:

Mignolet-McCarthy
Baines-Smalling-Prodl-Bellerin-Targett
Hazard-Firmino-Payet-Fabergas-Mahrez
Deeney-Rashford-Martial

6.2 M ITB (1 FT)

Me:

Mignolet – Darlow
Smalling Bellerin-Gabriel-PVA-Fuchs
Payet-Mahrez-Sanchez-Hazard-Lingard
Carroll-Aguero-Defoe

0.9M ITB (1 FT)

Any advice?

I think I might need a - 4 tho... Carols a donkey and Defoe might not play or he might be playing with the reserves l... Going too play the 11 below with either tadic for Mahrez - deeney for Carroll - long for Defoe. What would you do? Captain would be Sanchez

calistro · 13-05-2016 01:36PM

Bit of advice please.

Have a 14pt lead in a mini league. My team is:

Hennessy/Robles
Evans/Bellerin/Delaney/PvA/Darmian
Payet/Sanchez/Lanzini/Townsend/Mahrez
Carroll/Aguero/Deeney

Had planned to use FT with Carroll to Kane as a block for closest rival but now thinking to use the FT and take a -4 hit to get in Degea and Smalling as my defense is in tatters with rotation/injuries. Rival has these 2 also so also a blocking move. Any other ideas. Main differentials are he has Hazard and Kane.

Anything else obvious that I'm missing ?

I'd bench Defoe (as he's your cheapest striker for Townsend) - Sunderland prob celebrating the last few days and Watford will want to put in a big performance in Flores' last game.

I'd transfer out Carroll and Kane. If Carroll couldn't score against United's midget defence then he'll not be scoring when Shawcross is horsing him round the place for 90 mins. Spurs are a much weaker and less creative side without Alli and Dembele. Kane has looked frustrated and resorted to shooting from anywhere on the pitch. Also Newcastle will want to perform for their fans in their last PL home game for a while.

I'd definitely get Martial in as it'll be all out attack against a tired and leaky Bournemouth defence. Giroud would be my other pick but you already have your Arsenal quota. Obviously Aguero if you have the funds but failing that someone like Long (home to a Palace side who'll be minding themselves for the fa cup final) or one of the 2 Watford strikers (for reasons already mentioned above) would be my pick.

GL with whatever you decide.

NabyLadistheman · 13-05-2016 01:51PM

Lads what are our thoughts on Kane? Will he do damage this weekend I wonder. He is differential for me but tempted to use him as bait for my Giroud transfer instead of Carroll. Mainly as I will not have to take any hits

ElTel · 13-05-2016 02:03PM

The chasing/blocker moves are really annoying me this week. Had a quick look around me and wrt defenders my Smalling and Kosc is not gonna cut it as a lot have double Arsenal or United and an odd one has both. I'm thinking of benching Smalling and hoping Bournemouth score.
However the Wat/Sund match is weighing heavily on my mind. (Gomez Mannone PVA Deeney and Defoe) and whichever way I go will start the dominos falling and decide my starting eleven and transfers.

sheroman01 · 13-05-2016 02:13PM

Will Martial be rested with FA Cup final coming up?

GetWithIt · 13-05-2016 02:37PM

Thoughts on Cuco Martina and the likelihood of starting? Want a Southampton defender but have el zilcho in the bank.
