Gameweek 18 Transfers.

bohsman

Walcott in for Brady. Probably Walcott to Silva next week.

Michael D Not Higgins

Baines is back so I've dropped Oviedo for Henderson.

El Horseboxo

Have tried to move away from the template team that seemed to be a staple in my work league. Although I've probably just moved onto the next one. But the players have a lower ownership.

Ozil out and Walcott in. Nasri out and Silva in. JWP out and Januzaj in. Agüero out and Rooney in.

Done over 2 weeks so just the one 4 point hit this week. Hoping Ozil will be rested this week.

This is not a week to get rid of Rooney.

I know its more to raise funds to get walcott and silva two players I want long term. Not sold on it yet and could do ozil to silva and bannan to barkley instead.
Rooneys a bit too deep for me liking and rvp is supposedly nearing a comeback.

Lemlin

If I was getting rid of Ozil for anyone at the minute I honestly think it'd be Cabaye. He's on a serious run and it doesn't look like stopping.

I wouldn't get rid of Rooney myself but I can't criticise the players you are bringing in.

I took a 4 point hit to get Silva in. I think next on my chopping block is Ozil.

im .1 short of ozil to silva and bannan to cabaye that was my initial plan:mad:

That's the problem with holding off sometimes. I did my transfer Saturday evening because Silva was due to go up and Mannone was getting close.

It's good I took a hit this GW took because the FFS Cup takes a break until next GW.

Reekwind

Any thoughts on a good midfielder to bring in this week? I'll probably take the opportunity to ditch Nasri but struggling to think of a top-notch replacement for 9.6. (Just less than Toure's 9.8 :mad:)

Silva, has everything you need.

SantryRed

8 point hit taken and I am happy with it:

In: Adebayor, Silva and Whittingham
Out: Lukaku, Nasri and Brady

I know Lukaku has what you'd think is a tasty fixture this week, but IMO he has looked awful in the last 3/4 games, and nothing makes me think the goals are gonna flow again. (Queue a hat trick Thursday)

FHFC

Ramsey to Cabaye slightly tempting. He's no longer in the form of his life, fair chance I'd shift him in WC in January. Will leave it till next week as no more hits for me.

Alfred Borden

Morrison out, Cabaye in, not going to do anything else with the wildcard coming up.

I think it's more so he hasn't been getting the service rather than him being awful. He's been dropping deeper lately too. It's not like he's been wasteful. I was tempted to drop him but I think it's one that could come back to bite me given Everton's fixtures. And with injuries to their other forwards he has to play.

Steven81

Holding off on transfer until 26th in case weather disrupts any matches

who_ru

just did Lukaku out, Adebayor in. Hoping it works out over the remainder of the season. With sherwood in now, and Adebayor recalled, his confidence should be restored and I think he has every chance of out scoring Lukaku over the rest of the season.

Lukaku will score goals no doubt. Hoping he doesn't lash in 2 or 3 against Sunderland.

Paully D

I wouldn't have dropped Lukaku ahead of a home game against Sunderland, especially as Brown is suspended and O'Shea likely out, meaning Roberge and Diakite will be the center back partnership which will be a disaster.

masti123

should i keep Sterling or Januzaj on the bench?

like i said I think adebayor has every chance of getting more points over the remainder of the season than lukaku.

Shedite27

Was hoping to do Mignolet -> Howard this week as fancy a lot of clean sheets for Everton over the next while, however seeing the game last night looks like Oscar out may be a more crucial move. Had hoped he'd be straight back in after his injury. What do people reckon? Is he gonna regain his spot this week? Could upgrade him to David Silva

Chelsea are home to Swansea and then Liverpool. I'd expect the likes of Oscar and Schurrle to be recalled for the Swansea game to allow Hazard and others that played last night a rest ahead of the Liverpool game.

roryc

No chance I would get rid of Lukaku before a home game against Sunderland, he's one of the few strikers in the PL that are capable of hat-tricks.

Hopefully Nasri & Hazard play, won't be a happy bunny if they are both rested. Don't think I'm willing to swap Nasri out for Silva at a 4 point hit, will do that transfer for free after the Boxing Day games.

I'm seeing lots and lots of talk of Hazard rested. I can think of some obvious reasons for this logic. Can you tell me any less obvious ones that may not have already occurred to me?

HighClass

Lukaku out Adebayor in.

Knowing my luck Lukaku will score 3 against Sunderland.

gar

To play januzai away to hull or Oviedo home to Sunderland? Oviedo might be dropped with baines back?

He will be, so save yourself the possible 1 point. Not that Januzaj is nailed onto start either but the chances are certainly higher

He didn't play well last night and looked tired, based on that alone I think he's likely to be rested. Chelsea are spoiled for choice in midfield. As are City, especially with Silva back.

Yeah, I'm reluctant to take Hazard out, mostly because I got him at 9 million, and he will be scoring points again soon. I would like to have Walcott this week but I'm just going to have to do without.

Hogey007

was going to double on everton defenders and bring distin in for vlaar along with coleman who i've had from the start but i see distin has changed to 75% likely to play.

not risking my transfer on a doubtful player and i don't want to be checking for team news tomorrow/stephens day morning so just did adebayor in for giroud.

you're damn right he will!

BNMC

Whittingham in, Morrison out. I think the Ravel ship has sailed, he has looked pretty ordinary whenever I've seen him play.

I now have a midfield of Whittingham, Ramsey, Yaya, Theo and Hazard. Contemplating dropping Hazard for GW 19(LivH) as Whittingham is at home to Sunderland.

No more hits for a while after the -16 last week.

Iused2likebusts

ozil and bannan out walcott and cabaye in. No city coverage for this gw. Will be getting 2 city attacking players in for the palace game.

I reckon Morrison will pop up with the odd goal out of nowhere without any real inconsistency, which is why I'm just going to keep him and hope the weeks I need him to play are those weeks. He'll be benched most weeks.

Just realised Chamakh is suspended for the Boxing Day game. Palace have only scored 4 goals in their last 5 games - Chamakh bagging 3 of those. And in the 5 games before that they managed a total of just two goals! They are the Stoke of previous seasons.

Tomorrow they face Villa (away) who are surely favourite to keep a clean sheet with no Chamakh on the pitch. Think I'll stick Vlaar in at the back. He went down in price last night so the least he can do is repay me with a Christmas 6 pointer! Only issue being he's injured and unlikely to play, although this article gives some hope - http://news.rotowire.com/Ron-Vlaar-googid20414-spsoccer.htm

He should either start or not feature at all, can't see him coming on for a cameo. I'll have Gabbidon as first sub anyway, and with no Benteke this has 0-0 written all over it!

Santi101

I can see Ozil starting on the bench, maybe Giroud too.

Brought Coleman in after i stupidly sold him at 5.5m a few months ago....not sure if i'll keep long term but cant risk losing any more pts to him over this period. Also have Distin who is doubtful but I'll start him and have Whittaker first sub who has 2 CS's in 3 games and almost scored in one of those matches.

Inspector Coptoor

Brady out
Januzaj in.

Midfield is now Ramsey, Ozil, Yaya, Whittingham & Januzaj.

Happy enough with this now.

Have Ward as me first sub so I hope for a 0-0 :pac:

Nasri out for Walcott. Walcott is one of those frustrating players that scores big in one game and then does nothing for a month, but I like the look of his 3 away fixtures coming up, he can stretch all the defences he will face in those games and is coming in relatively fresh for the congested fixtures. Will do Hazard (another streaky boll*x) to Silva next week.

8-10

Need Mannone to hold out for a rise tonight. Planning on Vorm to him after the deadline tomorrow but would like the .1 for the wildcard

Markx

Wasn't going to make a transfer but thinking of Hazard to Walcott. Have no Arsenal attacking cover and maybe Hazard will be a sub tomorrow.

I'm confident of getting this wrong whether I do or don't........

Ramsey Out, Walcott in.
Or,
Morrison out, Cabaye in.

I would like to get Walcott in, but slightly afraid to take Ramsey out..

djPSB

Not getting this Walcott buzz at all.
