Gameweek 8 Transfers.

Invincible

Another 2 weeks to next gameweek, player's will possibly pick up injuries during international games. Depending on how Brady recovers during that time will be the deciding factor on next move.

Need to get rid of Ward-Prowse / Whittaker / Collins before they start hemorrhaging my team-value

I've Whittaker too. He is absolutely nowhere near a price drop. He's only bench fodder for me so I can afford to strengthen other areas of team first.

Forever And Ever

Inetrnational break

Will probably play my WC for this

roryc

I'm more than happy with my team but debating whether to move on Brady -> Ramsey. He's going up tonight and annoyingly doesn't play until tomorrow, so unsure whether to wait and see at a cost of £0.1m. Barring injuries that will be my only transfer.

alchemist33

This GW's the last chance saloon for my Arsenal and Liverpool defenders.

Mr.Prodston

Dawson has just signed a new 3 year contract so read into that how ye like.

Am in the same boat. And if I don't make the move today I won't be able to afford him as a direct swap with Brady. Could always drop Ozil but...

roryc

If you won't be able to afford him it's worth doing it today imo. He will likely go up another £0.3 this week unless he gets injured. I've £7m to play around with so could risk waiting. Might even look at Mirallas or Paulinho instead.

iroced

Yeah... I'm gonna have to think about it... Everything goes against it (game tomorrow, international break) but cashwise it could be a crucial decision...

F1ngers

Going to have to fix my defence - want to play 4-3-3 and rotate Chambers and Collins, unfortunately both seem to have been dropped to the bench.

Possibly looking to sell Coleman as i have Terry,Vidic and Zab at the back already.

Just looking to offload 1 of those big hitters and he is where i fell on,Terry is a recent buy,Zab been there all season and Vidic would be next on the chopping block.
Still unsure but a transfer of Coleman looks likely as i could then get Barkley into midfiled,late i know but what harm

Danger781

May need to drop Nastasic myself. Only 3 clean sheets in the last 7 games from City. Nastasic not even playing today could indicate that he is going to be rotated with Lescott. That, and that fact that Pelligrini seems to be losing faith in Hart. Hmm...

Edit: And he's on!

irish son

Probably Ramsey and Lukaku in for Ward-Prowse and Sturridge for a hit.

Dempsey

Thinking Januzaj in for Brady & Rooney out for Lukaku....

That leaves me with 4.4m in the bank though...

Anyone worth taking a points hit for?

I have...

Boruc/Mignolet

Chester/Terry/Whittaker/Collins/Coleman

Eriksen/Ozil/Brady/Toure/Barkley

Giroud/Rooney/Sturridge

Could do with improving my defence

q2ice

Activated wild card!!
Just made the following transfers:



Old Team:


New Team:



This will probably change a lot over the next couple of weeks. A lot of those players are getting price rises tonight

Mr.Prodston

I really, really want to bring AJ in even though every fiber of my FPL brain tells me not to

I think there's a credible case for bringing him in on a short term basis

- Its going to be hard for Moyes not to start him the next few games especially considering
- The next 2 games are Stoke/Soton at home then Fulham away.
- He's 4.6 now and fairly certain to go up in value quickly even moreso given that
- So many have the likes of Brady, Ward Prowse and need to change.
- If you do have Brady its a bit of a no brainer really avoid any potential price drop and ride the price increases of AJ

He wont go up tonight nor will Brady go down, so I will wait till after tomorrows games at least but its a likely swap for me tbh

Well when you put it like that. He's rising rapidly though, will certainly go up tomorrow.

As it stands I'm thinking I'll do Brady to AJ and I'm getting rid of Hangeland for Ben Davies. Will wait until tomorrow anyway though.

jamesbere

Well brady out, januzaj in. Barfa might go out, no panic yet plenty of time.

fukk! I hadnt refreshed Totalfpl page and it was still at the 8% from earlier just seen he's at 49.8% already. Christ

SlickRic

reckless abandon.

transfer done (yes, I'm fully aware there are internationals and that's stupid).

log off for 2 weeks after I look at my score tomorrow.

58.5 npw he might just hit the 100 tonight

YeatsCounty

Rooney out, Lukaku in. No question.

Edit: A points hit to replace Pablo Hernandez with Januzaj would be idiotic in the extreme, yes? I'm thinking team value and Januzaj's probable starts over the next couple of games. Hernandez should be back for the next GW, but he was supposed to be back for this GW, so....

What was your transfer?

Mr.Prodston

Januzaj in, Brady out.....all aboard. I will regret pulling the trigger on this tomorrow but it makes me smile

Any opportunity to bring in a United player is welcomed, even better when it's at the start of a bandwagon....

I'm smiling too, 3 United for the first time in years.

AJ in for Brady or Ward-Prowse??

There's no time to think about it. Just get AJ in now!

Brady got the chop here but I don't have WP

Mr.Prodston

Suarezistheman wrote: »

Depends on how the rest of your midfield looks. If you can afford to wait for Brady to get fit then WP, he'll get 1 point a week at best but in Brady's absence that may be an important 1 point

jma

Lots of options. Lots of thinking to be done...

But... I have Suarez and Sturridge, and I'm thinking I need to let one of them go. Liverpool played so brilliantly in the first half, and then like crap the second. Very dissapointing. Seems to be a bit of a pattern.

Logic is telling me to keep Sturridge. He seems more technical with the ball, not as rusty, and seems to be a lot more cool-headed.

Any thoughts anyone?

> Barkley.

i need Everton cover, and i should've got Barkley sooner. i had to get rid of WP, had 5.6 in the bank, and it beefs up my midfield a bit.

i'll make a call on getting Ben Arfa out at a hit later in the international break, but unless he goes down loads, i'll be patient.

it was so reckless, i didn't even check Adnan. i assumed he was a striker. meh. i have Rooney, and i'm not getting 2 United players in the attacking positions.

MF ain't great but I am surviving. Have Ozil, Moses, Brady, Ward-Prowse & Barkley. Think I'll do ward-Prowse as I can sustain a Brady loss of value. Ward Prowse will not rise again

Yeah I'd do WP from that alright. He's a dead weight really

Hogey007

done the popular transfer of januzaj in for brady, had initially planned on bringing rvp back in for suarez but after today's performances i'll stick on suarez for another while, i'd be foolish to let such a player in form with no other cup distractions go. especially as his price is on the up and RVp on the down. will look to get RVP back in a week or two but maybe at the expense of Rooney instead of suarez, will see how it plays out.
I have 3 united players now anyway so would have to lose one to get rvp back.
will get brady back as soon as he's fit again. maybe for moses as liverpool's nice run will be drawing to a close.

Paully D

Januzaj in, Ward-Prowse out. Even though he's usually the type of transfer I'd never do, I'm a bit far behind now in leagues so I'm going to start taking more risks. Surely Moyes can't drop him after today?

No one I really want to get in is going up tonight but will be getting Januzaj. Worst case scenario, he does up 0.3, probably 0.4 the night that GW8 starts and therefore I'd be happy for him to hang around as a fifth mid.

My dilemma is Rooney. Went to take a hit for Rooney to Sturridge but phone froze at 1128. Had to reboot and missed deadline. In retrospect, should have taken the gfs phone :rolleyes:

Could take an 8-12 point hit this week. Finally getting a sense of who I want in my team.

FHFC

Hmmm, trying hard to resist this januzaj fever. Love a good bandwagon but think I'll try and stay cool this time!

I think he's a good proposition if you need that player (punt 4th or 5th mid who might get a decent few points) but I'm not rushing to swap him for Brady.

Brady may be back for the next game, at most will miss 1 more (http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/Hull-City-Stephen-Quinn-George-Boyd-injured/story-19886942-detail/story.html#axzz2gjjEYsRX) and is guaranteed a start, pens,corners and fks in a hull team that are doing very well (more points than united!).

I had planned to bring in Michu for Ben Arfa this week and still think that's a good plan, only prob is Barfas price will drop like a stone so may have to do it early.

The rapid bandwagon and guaranteed price rises tempt me a lot, and I could regret it if he's the next Ramsey in FPL terms, but you can't chase them all! I was going to say remember Federico Macheda but I think this guy is better than that....

Danger781

For anyone with Fellaini:

David Moyes confirms @FellainiM missed today's match with a wrist injury. "It doesn't look good. We'll send him to see a specialist." #mufc

Also, it's mental how many transfers Januzaj needs to get a price rise.

He has 27,000 transfers in so far today and he's only on about 75% to a rise.

FHFC

At least he won't go up tonight, so I have have all day tomorrow to change my mind entirely on the post above!

Danger781

Januzaj is on another level entirely.

Moyes seems to think he's in line to be the next Rooney.

"I remember giving Wayne his debut and Adnan Januzaj is in that category - he's a top player."

Waiting until tomorrow to board the Ramsey bandwagon. Would love if he has a really bad day or gets injured...

Lemlin

Wasn't it mentioned though that Januzaj only scored 2 goals in 21 games for the reserves last year?

Lemlin wrote: »

yeah it was something like that but he seems to have been encouraged to shoot a lot more now, he had a couple of decent shots yesterday before his first and scored this beauty for the u21's v bolton monday night

As for the Macheda bit, i know the poster only said it a bit tongue in cheek and says, Januzaj is much better. Macheda was a relative unknown at the time, scored one of the most important goals of the fergie era (i think liverpool would have won the league had united not got that last gasp winner), and then scored a deflected goal v sunderland the following week before disappearing back to the unknown.
There was no real hype about him beforehand and if that goal had came in a 3-0 win there'd have been little hype about the goal.
Januzaj on the other hand is well known, so many people were just waiting for him to get his games. He's going to be a very special player.
It just remains to be seen if he will be a good FF pick for this season, he's a gamble, but at 4.6 and playing for a club like man united, i think the bigger gamble is not having him! who can't afford to ditch their 5th midfielder for him??

irishfeen

Are we now taking it for granted that Januzaj will now play week in week out under Moyes?

roryc

Do you think so? He's started one game, why would that mean he's a regular? If any United fans have a better insight on this chip in, I know little about him.

I'm unsure about whether he will play every game but at his price I think its worth the gamble and if he continues to play like this he is undropable from the United team.
