    Smallest GW transfer thread in a long time. I think more people than usual have lost interest this year, at least on boards

    Possibly the traffic is in the wildcard thread?

    Is anybody sticking with Gundogan? Seems it's either him or Raphinia going out for Jota.

    I was surprised to see he is one of the most transferred out this GW

    There's a risk but surely he has to play this weekend. He hasn't played the last two in the league.

    With Peps rotation there is always risk, if he doesnt play I have Foden and Shaw as subs.. But he has impressed at times and I have Captained him

    Think he's more likely to play than KDB so I've put the armband on him now. Bit risky but hopefully if he doesn't start he'll stay benched like last two games.

    Nah, gone a few weeks back. He's not playing in the league, I'd imagine Pep is all out for Europe, and then to see if he can do the quadruple.

    With the form of Lingard and Jota in teams that are all out for league results, and decent fixtures for both, I can't see Gundog outscoring them.

    See this is the thing and the reason i want to move on Jota but im afraid :pac:

    Theres always the chance he doesn't even start himself.

    I’m having the same problem. Have Gundogen and KDB and while I know they may not play, I’m really tempted to hang onto them and hope for the best. Raphina to Jota I think for me.

    I think the fixtures aren’t great this week which might be contributing to the quietness. I’m finding it hard to figure out what moves I should be making if any.

    Raphinha has been one of Leeds stand out players for a while now. I know there fixtures are not great but they attack against anyone so hes bound to be involved. Hes currently on my bench if Gundogan doesn't play. The whole not knowing what team city are gonna pick is messing with a few of my team at this stage.

    I think Raphinha against a potential makeshift City defence could do well this week.

    Would Keane or Watkins to Semedo or Iheanacho for -4 be worth it?

    I'm benching Watkins as is and Everton's defence is not great lately.

    I went for the halfway house by keeping KdB and selling Gundog. I remember back to around GW27 when they played Fulham, both of them were in great form and I was getting giddy expecting a major haul but then Pep went and rested both of them simultaneously. I cant be dealing with that type of headwreck from now to the end of the season and with them still in four competitions its likely to happen more frequently. Of the 8 games left if KdB plays 6 of them I'll settle for that, any less and it will turn into a costly mistake.

    I went the other way in the end. Sold KDB, held onto Gundog and captained him! It’s all a guessing game though with City.

    I fell foul of that before a few gameweeks ago KDB C and Gundogan VC gw28. Neither got any points.

    Learnt my lesson. Only this time it was a bit more obvious Pep was going to make lots of changes because of CL last 16. The Leeds game is effectively a glorified friendly, Even if you were playing a football computer game and had the league virtually won, plus a crucial CL game upcoming you would do the same?

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.
