GW 15 Transfers

Jax Teller

Think you've broken your own rules there . Gazzinga is a rotation risk especially after his mistake last night .

Southampton have played 3 different keepers so far . No one has nailed down that no.1 spot yet

I'll be doing the same, in fairness if you were going to do it for one game... this is it. might sell Sterling myself, but can't see myself doing it before Jan wildcard, too many other more important transfers to sort first

Sterling loses as the others are more valuable to me,finding a replacement at 5.9 or so is a problem...

P Hernandez is actually outscoring Michu on recent form... a swap there for Michu could give you extra funds for a Sterling replacement (presuming you have Michu that is)

Did he make a howler last night? Didn't see any of that game?

Starting the last 5 games and 8 starts in 10 made me think he had nailed down the number 1 spot.

****e, need to make a decision tonight because selling Ruddy gives me the cash to afford Bale.

Might just go with Bunn then.

+1. Hernandez is an assist machine. Involved in so much od Swansea's positive play

Yeah he made a big error .

That is a concern. Back to the drawing board.

Great option for anyone looking for a cheapish midfielder. He'll score well.

Don't know why a 'bigger' club than Swansea didn't come in for him in the summer

up the Bunn. Norwich will still be solid even without the legendary John Ruddy. Rotates well with Jussi going forward if he's your other keeper too

No Michu but i could muster the funds for him by waiting another week after selling Sterling,Herandez is the type of player who would be a season keeper as Dyer/Routledge seem to rotate the other winger role.

After 2 weeks in a row below average I've decided its time to wildcard. Opinions on this team please:

Bunn, Jussi
Cameron, Enrique, Clark, Nastasic, Azpilicueta
Silva, Cazorla, Noble, Puncheon, AN Other
RVP, Suarez, Defoe

Also opinions on my final midfielder. Might get rid of Santi for Walcott and get Sterling in as my final midfielder. Thoughts?

Had 2 FT so did Rafael to Enrique Tuesday night before he rose, didnt really want to get rid of Rafael but had no other choice if I wanted Enrique any time soon. Just did Mata to Bale, seems to be a popular transfer this week, Bale is going up tonight and Mata is dropping.

Nope. Got rid of Jussi for Ruddy 2 weeks ago. Pain in the tits.


Readings McCarthy tweeted today saying he's out for the season so Federici looks guaranteed his spot. Might bring him (back) in and double up on the Reading defence for the double gameweek.

Steel Dog

Just looking for opinions on this. I am going to bring in Bale tonight before his price rises but i dont know if i should bring him in for Cazorla or Mata. I can let Cazorla or Mata drop by .1 before loosing money on them. Whichever one i decide to keep will probably be getting replaced by Walcott next gameweek.

My other transfer tonight will be Tevez to Suarez before Suarez goes up in price. I have Tevez since gameweek 1 but with all the rotation at Man City i think it is time to let him go. He has been good to me and was great value at 9.0 but with the busy christmas period on the way and four 20 million+ strikers fighting for two places in the Man City team there is going to be alot of rotation. I would love to keep him for this weekend as i think he will definetly start after only playing 22 mins in the last two games but i have to get Suarez in now before his price rises any further and he also has Southampton at home this weekend.

Bale would be the first midfielder Id have in my team. I think you have to much money in defence, you will have 3 cheapish midfielder in Noble, Puncheon and Sterling, if youre playing 3-4-3 2 of them will be playing each week. Id downgrade Nastasic or Azpilicueta to Nelson and go with a midfield of something like Bale Walcott Felliani Sterling and Puncheon.

AdpRo

Just gone Mata to Walcott. It will be Sess to Fellini once the double GW is over leaving me with a midfield of Michu/Theo/Sivla/Fellaini.....not having Bale or Afro the last couple of weeks has killed me, I can always bring in Bale for Silva in a couple of weeks if he keeps scoring the way he currently is.

I have Mata, Bale, Fellaini, Nolan and Guthrie in my midfield. 2.2 million in the bank.

I play 4 across the middle so Guthrie never gets near the team and is just there as a cheapie. I want to bring in Hernandez of Swansea, who should I get rid of? Bale and Fellaini arent going anywhere. Suppose that leaves Mata and Nolan. I was thinking Nolan, but he's got through most of the difficult fixtures now and is good for goals. Mata and Chelsea seem a different team under Rafa but Mata is still world class.

Why not bring in Puncheon for Guthrie, just as an option. Can never have too many options. Nolan's fixtures until after xmas are not good at all, same with Hernandez really. Sounds like an expensive midfield and if you have 2.2 in the bank I'd say have a look elsewhere.

grohlisagod

Baines and Tevez out, Nastasic and Suarez in. Always like having a City defender.

Hogey007

did a rare points hit last night to bring in Bale for hazard before Bale's price rose. I've a couple of transfers i need to make so i figured now was as good a time as any to make it because not having bale has killed me over the last couple of weeks.

Hogey007

who to play? Nolan at home to chelsea or nelsen at home to Villa.

wouldn't even have been a consideration a couple of weeks ago, i'd have picked nolan but with the new rafa chelsea being tighter at the back i can't see west ham scoring more than one and likewise villa don't score much so might get a cs with nelsen.

is it just a flip of a coin really?

personally id always go for the attacker, more potenial to score bigger points , saying this now and nelsen could score an get a cs at the weekend ! id go for nolan though he casued a good few problems for united during the week and a lot west hams play is based around him

hmm yeah and he did also score against city the other week (although it was then incorrectly ruled offside)

Got Bale in for Mata last night.

4pt hit time. Not sure whether to replace Baines with Enrique or Azpilicueta. Getting Enrique would leave me with THREE Liverpool players (the most I have from any team). Is this madness or am I better to spread the love and get some Chelsea coverage. Cole/Ivanovich are also affordable options but was also looking to save some money as a cushion.

What say ye?

I reckon AVB will play Adebayor more than Defoe and with the clamour for places in midfield spurs are likely to use 1 striker on the whole, Defoe(I love the guy) could be bad business.

Your midfield choices are poor IMO, use this as a chance to get Bale in, I'm far from convinced about Santi as points machine, Silva doesn't score enough goals, Noble a 2 point man(maybe an odd penalty), Puncheon is great value.

The Chelsea full back may not play very often when Terry returns

Depending on funds id prefer chelsea defenders right now rather than liverpool, and 3 pool players too much IMO.

Chelsea two away games though followed by a blank week. I wouldn't worry too much about 3 Pool players, Enrique looks the best defensive prospect going forward, that should be the only thing that informs your decision. I have 3 now myself, but Sterling is one i'll play maybe one gw in three, and always have the option to transfer him out somewhere along the line anyway. Not really the biggest factor in the scheme of things. All 3 definitely in my starting XI this week

Cheers, I'm sold. I'm the same with Sterling. He's not a nailed on starter for me in the long run. He has been but mostly because I'm still stuck with Kacaniklic (other transfers taking priority). But hopefully with the 2.4m in the bank now I can upgrade him next week.

thunderdog

I'm thinking of either Mata -> Walcott or Baines -> Enrique. Same as a few on here, getting Enrique in will leave me with the Lpool players. Mata to Walcott would leave me with 2 Arsenal and no Chelsea coverage.

The following week I'm thinking of Tevez -> Fletcher, which would then leave me with no City coverage.

Do you reckon its essential over this part of the season to have both Chelsea and City coverage?

walcott is a slight doubt for tomorrow if that helps sway you towards enrique or at least hold off until more is revealed about his injury. according to FFS he's 75% likely to be fit.

manual_man

there's two many unknowns for me with Chelsea at the moment. Mancini and his rotating mind don't assure, and that's likely to get worse with December fixtures, some toughies before that, including the Manc derby (0-0, what's the bet). Happy enough to stay away from players from both teams at the moment, was tempted with Nastascic, but too many other transfers to take care of first

Walcott a doubt for the weekend. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20474718

Any thoughts on what to do with Tevez. He hasn't started the last 2 games in the League and one in the Champions league. I thought he was a given for a start against Wigan, But Mario got in ahead of him which is strange. Don't know whether to transfer him out or now.

Definitely keep him for this weekend anyway as he is pretty much guaranteed to start after only playing 22 mins in the last 2 games. After this weekend I'd transfer him out. With all the games around Xmas time he'll start quite a few games from the bench I'd imagine.

im giving tevez and mata one more chance this weekend before shipping them out, I have 2 free transfers next week so I am looking for suggestions.

Begovic

Clark, Davies, O'Brien

Mata, Feallani, Carzola, Bale

Suarez, RVP, Tevez

Bench: Tremell, Guthrie, Gorkss, Turner

I'm alot more calm without Tevez and Aguero. Will they start, will they be benched, will they come on, will they be an unused sub, will you captain them, won't you captain them.

Too much hassle. Get Silva. Start. Start. Start. Start. Start.

It seems to me that Mancini views Aguero as his number 1 striker, he won't play every single game but is a far lesser rotation risk than Tevez, now if Tevez plays fantastically that could change but despite all his points this year he is hardly playing out of his skin. A couple of weeks ago he was quite lucky(IMO) to score big against Villa, referee helped him and he had no business taking a penalty when his teammate had already scored one. An in form Ballotelli or Dzeko will not help either, if I was to guess I would say he will be on the pitch for no more than about 60% of City's game time.

I've said it a few times in the last week or so but I'll say it again, Silva doesn't score enough goals to justify his price tag for me.

Good points Swiper. It's funny you should say that about Aguero because a few weeks abo everyone was saying the EXACT same thing about Tevez! I just cannot trust Mancini, especially since Ballotelli and Dzeko and going to be pushing for one of the starting places alot more than, say, Wellbeck and Hernandez for United.

Agreed regarding Silva and goals but his assists make up for it. Granted, it also means that he wont register many bonus, but he still clocked in at 184 points last season. He's like porridge...you can depend on him for a slow, steady release of goodness! Always picking up assists, a few goals and bonus but not all in one game before drawing 5 blanks! But most important, he is not a rotation risk.

If I could be guaranteed that either Tevez or Aguero would start every game, they would be in my team over Silva, but if I had to choose any City player right now, I can't look further than Silva.

I think Silva benefited the most from the ref that day and everybody flocked to get him in.

Also, I think having different players taking penalties (whether they've missed or scored) is a great strategy and should be employed by all teams. Mancini obviously thinks the same.

Myself and Swiper were arguing a few weeks ago that Tevez was going to see a lot less gametime. However we were in the minority as a lot of people just look at a players gameweek history and would have seen tevez had started 10 of the first 11 league games. The gameweek history wont tell you that aguero and ballotelli were both injured it doesnt factor in the 5 CL games of which Tevez started only two or most importantly that tevez is the only city striker not currently playing for his national side all these things only served to increse Tevez's playing time. With all 4 strikers fit, no internationals for a few months and no Cl things were bound to change. That game against villa when he scored big the previous week he was taking off early and Dzeko came on and changed the game, only for the fact the 3 other strikers played 90 mins for their international sides midweek he wouldnt have started. Tevez for those that have had him from the start has served you great but Id be thinking of cashing in. Its probably not your most urgent transfer as he should start the next two. I would feel if city play 2 strikers for the rest of the season it will be Aguero 80% gametime Tevez 60 % dzeko and ballotelli 30% each.
