Gamesweek 23 Transfers.

El Horseboxo

I think the London games will go ahead. A big city like London should cope with any snow. Podolski and Gibbs in for me anyways. Basically one week punts. Plus Pod is on penos. Was considering Giroud but not sure if he will start. Might do with Walcott pushed out to the wing.

i dont think giroud played well against swansea, he just seems to lack that final touch. then again that's been true of walcott the last few games so id like to be proven wrong.

edit: also he's not guaranteed 180 minutes. briefly he came on with walcott where they played two up front if i remember the game against man city correctly, but that was a substitution move.

I'm still not convinced by Walcott. Taking a chance on Wilshire this week.

Watched highlight of FA cup just now and Walcott looked really good. He had some chances, and was really close to score. Arsenal was quite unlucky in this game - few times the ball bounced off the last Swansea defender, who was very close to goal line. Wilshere looked very good too. To Wilshere, or not to? Already made one risky transfer this week, Wilshere could offer not too much to take 4point hit... One day left to make that call, hope the weather won't stop any of the teams from playing.

Excellent pick.

This is my logic with Walcott:

I may not be convinced, but Wenger is and Arsenal have no choice but to be. If Walcott doesn't score something like 20+ goals by end of season, Arsenal are downright farked. I think Arsenal will hit 4th and at least 5th, ergo Walcott will be a scoring machine.

Terrible logic, ain't it?

Wilshire never gets FF points. Why would you pick him?

He played just behind the striker midweek & has got a lot of praise for his performance there .

If he stays in that position he's worth keep an eye on .

Exactly, the lad is quality player, but a FF selection he aint... even with a double gameweek, he will get around 4 points, 2 x appearance, 1 clean sheet and a yellow card... Gibbs, Cazorla and Walcott would be the wiser choices IMO

Only debate for me is whether to take Ba out for Podolski. Whats the general consensus?

Done that last night, chance of Ba being rested Vs Podolski having DGW and penalty duty.

Really? Where dya see that?

Pulled the trigger on Ba to Giroud. I just can't see Wenger playing Walcott up front again against Chelsea and I don't think Pod will start in the centre. Worth a gamble for a week.

He could be a cheap replacement for Piennar considering his DGW.

He appeared out of favour before Koscielny's red card. I wouldn't recommend bringing him in for this GW.

I think I'll captain Walcott. Great record against Chelsea.

Seems to be the choice of the masses this GW

Podolski missed training today cause he was sick!

Munster Magic

Any word on Aguero?

Because his performances are getting better and better. Santi isn't consistent and Walcott may do something amazing every seven games or so but he's still not the clinical finisher Arsenal need. Very little people will have Wilshire too and I think there's a chance he might get an assist or two this week.

Anyone taking a punt on Chamakh this DGW? Can he play v Arsenal or is he blocked?

can't play v arsenal and even if he could the answer would still be no to taking a punt on him

I made the same move but just seen in the weather warning thread theres a high chance the Southampton Vs Everton game will be called off!:mad:

Wait until this gw is over,it's a DGW for Arsenal (weather permitting)

Rayne Wooney

Might hold out on any transfers until the last minute, just in case some games are called off

RB100

Pienaar --> Nolan/ J.Cole for a 4 point hit

Should it be done and which which one??

That west ham potentially have. How many points above the 4pt hit would you expect from a Joe Cole out of interest? Bear in mind it would have to be more than Pienaar's score too if their game goes ahead.

RB100 wrote: »

One game is away to Arsenal, so you are relying on the QPR game for returns. Nolan has 16 points in his last 10 games. J. Cole hasn't played 90 mins 2 weeks in a row all season, so wouldn't be banking on him to suddenly play 90 mins twice in 4 days.

And as 8-10 pointed out, you have to consider what Pienaar might do, and he plays Southampton.

Then, you are stuck with a player who realistically you don't want for the rest of the season, in your team. So that's going to cost you another transfer down the line.

So, no.

Mr Moon

Holding on till 11:25 tomorrow to see what's called off. If they all go ahead don't know who to sub.

Have 3 Chelsea players want to get rid of one so either
Luiz to Zab
or
Ba to Dzeko/Aguero.
Any suggestions?

He would have to get Pienars score + 5 to be worth it. (4 for points hit and at least 1 point gain)

So if Piennar gets 2 then he would have to get at least a 7. If you think he is capable of that then work ahead.

luiz to zab.fulham are weak, luiz is overpriced the way he's playing right now (at least i think so.)

the man city striker situation is still too pending for a move in gw23. aguero is supposedly fit to play, however. at the same time i think ba will get the 90 and very likely to score at least 1.
