Gameweek 11 Transfers

    Kind of delighted with myself had Steer and Martinez in goal. Obvious keeper problem. Plus Steer was using up a third Villa slot. Wanted to get Watkins a few times. But already had Grealish.

    I had exactly .5 in bank to get a starting keeper instead of Steer.

    Feels like I won the lotto - silly how a silly transfer in a game about a game can make an eejit happy! I was going to put it in the trivial things that make you happy thread.

    But sure fantasy football is not trivial is it? It is a serious business!

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Would I be mad taking a hit to sell Zouma and Barnes to afford Mahrez?

    Yes. Chelsea defence is great. If you really want Mahrez find some other way


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,433 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    It in terms of ability or being first 11 he isn’t a trap.

    It’s all about injury with him.

    Don’t say I didn’t warn you

    I looked at Chelsea's fixtures a lot of them seem 50/50 if they might concede or not. I have Chilwell the beauty about him is that he might the get odd assist and goal. I am not sure Zouma would be the same source of consistent attacking points.

    Giroud making a good case for himself to start this weekend with 4 goals tonight, enough to put my off going near Tammy which is a pity. Between that and the other options Chelsea have - would Tammy be guarantee minutes going forward.

    Saw him not start, was delighted. Then I saw giroud got 4 and he's been pushing for a start to be fair. So Tammy is off limits.

    Cavani ban is the only thing stopping me getting him. He's going to rise tonight and it's going to ruin my plan but I cannot bring in cavani just to save 0.1 and have him banned for 3 games.

    Would a Free Hit be bonkers??


    Ryan (fodder)

    Chilwell James Philips (fodder, fodder)

    Salah Jota KdB Sterling Mahrez

    Werner Welbeck (Brewster)

    Not always you get the Top3 at home with decent fixtures!

    Yeah, it's the inconsistency, I don't like relying on points from defenders at this point, anything over the bare minimum is a lovely bonus but I'm trying to move value up front. I'm a bit snookered with Grealish and Ings both out of the question and Kane in a bit of doubt -

    He didn't rise! Now if someone in the fa could finalise his punishment.

    I am genuinely finding it hard to see who to downgrade kane to.

    Bamford- so wasteful
    Wilson- blank
    Watkins- blank
    Abraham- more doubt over playtime after tonight
    Che Adams- already have 3 Southampton

    Cavani is a standout if he doesn't get banned but I may have to settle reluctantly on bamford.

    I've been scouring kane stats for NLD. Everything says keep him. Last time I got rid of son for city, he scored.
    And yet this time I'm still going to get rid...and I think it's the right call. Vardy a better shout at SHU if Leicester get their act together.

    This has been the hardest week so far deciding on transfers for me.

    I think your bonkers to go with sterling again, but if it's your gut feeling then you have to do it. I can't see him starting

    I have sterling too and think it’s more of a case that if he gets minutes, will he produce points, I’m aware he didn’t get minutes last week and was played in Europe, so there is the risk that he could go another game without playing, or he could be playing this week and rested for European game.... I only got him in because of the salah covid news.

    What I would like to know ... will Chelsea drop giroud after getting 4 goals? I’m tempted to bring in pulisic and kdb, but would need to take a -8 to facilitate, with the Newcastle/villa game off, I might be better off to use the free hit button , players didn’t perform last week and I managed 40points

    Martinez(Ryan)

    Chilwell, zouma , Robertson, maguire, Justin

    Rodriguez, zaha, sterling, Jorginho , grealish

    Bamford, vardy, DCL.

    I was planning on leaving Martinez and grealish on the bench, but Jorginho hasn’t been getting league returns, sterling didn’t play league game last week, zaha was out with covid... I’m hopeful for zaha news before the deadline, DCL is missing his main supplier.
    My team has the potential to produce huge points or not play.... anyone got any suggestions ?

    You’re not exactly spending a fortune on that back line!

    You’ve two goalies so I’d consider downgrading one of those but this isn’t the week for that.

    Moutinho has pretty much said Kane will be ok. You need some City cover, so if you’re happy with Mahrez then Son out is the obvious one.
    I’d doubt Ings will start or maybe play at all this GW, he’ll be eased back cause he’s made of glass. So personally I’d downgrade him, that would allow you get KDB or Sterling
    Or you could take a -4 to get a playing defender in place of Kilman


    In response to gormdubh - Chelsea are setting up defensively against the better teams, that means more CSs. If they start conceding then worry about the lack of CSs but not until then IMO


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,057 ✭✭✭Brian201888


    Can have Mendy set and forget instead of the rotating keepers and I'd always be a fan of that


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


    Can’t believe I never considered Welbeck as my Maupay replacement.

    I’d say he’s nailed on. He’s easily the best finisher at that club. I suppose my brain just eliminated him as an option because it suspects to see him injured soon.

    If he stays injury free I reckon he’ll be this seasons best value player.

    Edit - would not be surprised to see him take the next penalty

    This convinced me to go ahead and get Wellbeck.

    Hit transfer.

    I'm after doubling up on Chelsea at the back, their fixtures I agree look tough on paper, but Everton have lost their way, Wolves have lost their goalscorer, WH, Ars, Lee, Villa are all50/50 as to a clean sheet.

    But looking back, I'd have Spurs, Newcastle, Man U as 50/50 too, but they've CS'd in all. Since Mendy landed they're 5 clean sheets from 6, one consolation goals conceded. VEry solid and established backline now

    What city defender would you go for? Mendy seems to be back in favour & was rested midweek but you never know with Pep roulette. Thoughts?

    There's arguments for and against all of them at this stage. Every time I have it figured out he messes it up. Ederson is the only banker for defensive points.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,065 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    Are people getting rid of Wilson?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec


    Ruben Dias (5.6) and Walker (6.2) are probably the 2 'safest picks'.

    Of the numerous transfers I'm considering this week, a sideways move from Cancelo to Dias is one of them. Fulham have a bad set piece record and Dias has been flirting with a goal for a while now. He was their big centre-back signing and has done well so far so you would think he's close to nailed for Pep.

    Then again he played 90 midweek, Ake and Laporte are back in action, and Pep was talking up Stones recently. So couldn't say he's nailed for sure

    It's kinda funny you say that about Zouma, he is the leading defender in FF points, and has 3 goals so far this season. They offer different options attacking wise. If your looking for a solid defender Zouma is a great pick, and you can use the additional 0.7m elsewhere.

    I think in terms of expectancy though Zouma won't be smashing in headers as much as Chillwell/James will be crosses. I would expect both to outscore Zouma by a lot towards the end of season.

    Enough to cover a 0.7m? No idea

    Just going to bench him.

    I've upgraded Stephens to give myself five playing midfielders.
    Salah, Jota, Bruno, Ziyech, Son
    Bench Wilson then and Adams and DCL up front in a 3-5-2


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭Jim Gazebo


    Price rises being kind so far, facilitating the wait until Fri night / Saturday morning


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,355 ✭✭✭Jim Gazebo


    Leaning back towards moving out grealish for a couple of weeks. Out for de bruyne, downgrade kane.

    Then Salah in the week after for Ziyech, and bamford for Vardy, bamford performances pending.

    Week after I could do Jota to grealish again with a 0.5m to play with depending on striker choices.

    Is this a stupid idea?

    It's two hits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,520 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Little flickering in my head to take the Villa situation as a chance to take a -4 to create a playing bench. They'll sit in for the Villa players this week then use the upgraded players for bench boost the week after.

    I'm off to look at the fixtures....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,688 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    Really not sure what to do with Zaha and Kane. Wanted to go from Zaha to Grealish but thats off the cards now. Id prefer keep Kane long term but not sure how bad his injury is yet, Id leave him be if I knew he is back next week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    Ruben Dias (5.6) and Walker (6.2) are probably the 2 'safest picks'.

    *Caution: Cancelo is generally a right back. In the post match conference Pep specifically mentioned leaving Cancelo on to find rhythm. Cancelo was playing right back midweek.

    This would imply to me he wants Cancelo to get more game time in his favoured position.

    Mendy scored last week & he said he’ll be playing scorers

    I’ve a feeling Cancelo will be RB and Mendy LB the weekend. Walker will come out.

    I’d be going with Dias as the safest option

    Be good for him to have to look over his shoulder though - he's given away at least 1 stupid penalty this year or not more.

    I predict Walker will play but this is still good analysis, food for thought, it's never as nailed as you think with Pep. He loves overthinking things, you never know what's going through his head. Maybe he sees a weakness of the Fulham left-full on the inside so fancies Cancelo's two-footedness to cause problems there, maybe he wants to be unpredictable so goes with a back 5 with Walker as a right-centre back and Cancelo as a RWB.

    I still think that the 90 minutes in Cancelo's leg and the fact Walker has started every game strongly suggests that Walker will start, but no one can really be surprised if Pep's lineup isn't as expected on Saturday


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,428 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    Really set up for a disappointment this weekend. Have 3 Villa players, a non-playing sub, Robbo limping, Cancelo and Torres at big risk of rotation. My squad has lovely fixtures for the weekend but could end up with 6 players

    Looking for a bit of help on a defensive issue please folks.

    Defence now is Lamptey, Chilwell, Konsa (won't play), Struijk (won't play) and KWP. Need 1 defender to replace Konsa (4.6) or Struijk (4.0) to make 11 this week with the Villa/Newcastle game off.

    I'm looking for a defender (5.0 or less) that has a decent chance of a CS this week and will play 90+% of games going forward, essentially nailed.

    I've 0.9 ITB, rather keep all or the majority for my Salah in fund next GW.

    Given the week in it, I'm leaning towards Konsa (4.6) out and Justin in (4.9) and will still have 0.6 ITB. (Although afraid Justin is a transfer out waiting to happen?)

    Was looking at Bartley (4.4) at WBA but already own Johnstone so dbl WBA would be madness tbh.

    Dallas a shout at Leeds but most likely will get a 2 pointer or worse this week.

    Any recommendations to solve my conundrum? :D

    You haven’t mentioned your formation.

    I’m having to guess you’re playing 4 at the back otherwise you’d just be playing - Chilwell, Lamptey and KWP as your 3 for this GW ?

    If you’re playing 3 at the back then every week it must be Chilwell, Lamptey and one other. Surely that would be KWP most weeks ?

    Clean sheets don’t always come from expected sources. That’s why we love our big scores from our GK’s unexpected clean sheets. If I had the choice I wouldn’t have started Meslier against Arsenal and Everton recently yet I got 2 x clean sheets.

    Some teams have to open up against ‘lesser’ opponents and concede. Yet they close up against better opponents and get cleans sheets. There can be a randomness to it.

    In your position I’d play the 3 I mentioned but only if you want to keep Konsa going forward.

    Lewis of Newcastle is a good shout but no game this GW.

    Dallas would be a good shout too but they play Chelsea before a good run.

    Justin will be gone very soon as Pereira is back playing now.

    So that leaves Palace and Scott Dann with a good fixture this GW.

    You’re left with downgrading Konsa to Dann and banking 0.2m. Then using Dann if KWP ever has a real stinker like M City or LFC or Chelsea.

    I think Lamptey has to start every game for you as he can assist or score in any game. He’s worth it. Same for Chilwell.

    If you are going to sell Konsa then have a quick look at who other teams are playing when KWP has a tough fixture and look to have them on your bench.

    If you’re playing 3 at the back then you’ve nothing to do, with your defence, this GW.

    Edit - sorry. Just read the bit about the Villa game being off in your question.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    You think Nat Phillips will play at least 90% of games going forward?

    Think he is a good swap for Strujk as fills a spot this week & he gets to keep Konsa. I’d expect his other 4 will play week in week out so has cover should Philips not feature

    Clean sheets don’t always come from expected sources. That’s why we love our big scores from our GK’s unexpected clean sheets. If I had the choice I wouldn’t have started Meslier against Arsenal and Everton recently yet I got 2 x clean sheets.

    Some teams have to open up against ‘lesser’ opponents and concede. Yet they close up against better opponents and get cleans sheets. There can be a randomness to it.

    In your position I’d play the 3 I mentioned but only if you want to keep Konsa going forward.

    Lewis of Newcastle is a good shout but no game this GW.

    Dallas would be a good shout too but they play Chelsea before a good run.

    Justin will be gone very soon as Pereira is back playing now.

    So that leaves Palace and Scott Dann with a good fixture this GW.

    You’re left with downgrading Konsa to Dann and banking 0.2m. Then using Dann if KWP ever has a real stinker like M City or LFC or Chelsea.

    I think Lamptey has to start every game for you as he can assist or score in any game. He’s worth it. Same for Chilwell.

    If you are going to sell Konsa then have a quick look at who other teams are playing when KWP has a tough fixture and look to have them on your bench.

    If you’re playing 3 at the back then you’ve nothing to do, with your defence, this GW.

    Edit - sorry. Just read the bit about the Villa game being off in your question.

    Cheers Klopp, yes I'll be 4-4-2 this week but normal weeks I'm 3-4-3 so this week is really just a stop gap with Struijk and Konsa both not playing.

    Chilwell and Lamptey start and I rotate KWP & Konsa. I like the Scott Dann option and might even get rid of Struijk for him (even if it'll cost me 0.4) , won't ever start really but grand for a couple points when we have the inevitable rotation over the next couple GW's.

    Thanks all.

    I would go Salah if I had him.

    Still planning on KDB but had a wild thought to get mahrez for grealish for this week, then Salah for mahrez next week before hitting for kdb the week after.... It's a trap isn't it?

    Is Kane to Gabriel Jesus worth considering for a hit? I think Kane will start but main concern is no City cover. Jesus was seemingly rested midweek and has played 90 in last 3 PL games

    Just been doing some research on kane and arsenal games. Last two or three games low scoring. Also, mourinho now to sit deeper. All points to Kane out. Bamford for his lack of finishing, has so many shots something has to come off. Lampard could come unstuck against Leeds. Despite beating bielsa in the championship I always remember those derby games being high scoring and crazy.
