Add Man City/Sunderland to the "to be refixed" pile. Time to get stockpiling City players fairly soon it seems

With the number of games City have ahead of them the rotation word comes back. Both defenders and forwards can expect some time off. Big time for Pellegrini to plan it right with 2 league games, cup games and CL games ahead.

I think we can take from this that Gw 31 and 34 the gws when there is no CL or international games are the Gws that will be DGW's. They met today to try and get the game refixed with Id imagine midweek of next week in mind but they will now reassess it after the fa cup games this weekend.

If PL games can't happen the same day than CL & EL football for TV reasons or else, midweek next week was an impossible fixture anyway since Everton play their FA Cup game on the 16th, the 18th & 19th are CL, the 20th is EL, and then CP play the 22nd (vs United) and this game can't be delayed since United play CL 3 days later.

Think you can add GW 37 (or 38) as potential DGWs. Maybe not for this Everton-CP game but If City continue progressing in the Cup and CL, considering they already have 1 game in hand and that they already have a DGW planned for GW 31... To a lesser extent It'll be the same story for Chelsea.

so sunderland and Liverpool are the first casualties of the weekends FA cup fixtures effecting gw 29! boll!x, have sturridge, sterling, mannone and suarez (who doesn't have him)

roryc

Yep, Suarez, Sturridge, Colback and Mannone for me. Will be looking at Boruc in for Marshall if Wigan don't beat Cardiff later today.

dahat

Sturridge,Suarez and Colback gone for me,the carnage begins.

Lemlin

Most people will be down Suarez and Sturridge. I can't see many transferring either out tbh.

wonski

Suarez, Sturridge, Sterling and Johnson. Next week Sterling and Johnson out, can't wait till double gameweek for Liverpool.
Will have to play one forward in gw29 - Adebayor away against Chelsea:eek:

Ha, just realized this...can afford to get rid of one of them. Hoping for City win now - only Silva at this moment and no Aston Villa players in my team.

why is it that we will all be missing our Liverpool players? I'm missing something. My head hurts

Liverpool are due to play Sunderland and Sunderland went through earlier.

Iused2likebusts

Although I'll be missing suarez and sturridge now it may put the brakes on people getting sturridge in before GW29 because if you dont have him now its a transfer that doesnt make much sense. Sunderland will have 3 dgws between gw 29 and gw 37 this means I will keep bardsley on my bench for gw 28 and 29 rather than transfer him out.

Might make Adam Johnson worth a punt later in the season too.

I'll be keeping Mannone until the season end anyway.

Cardiff lost to Wigan

the wigan result was a nice surprise, i have mannone and marshall too and not sure i would have bothered with a transfer for a goalkeeper. think i'm going to need them in more important areas.

hoping city hang onto their lead here as i have toure and hazard but would lose a lot of value on hazard. with toure having 2 blank gameweeks it'd make it an easy decision to transfer him out rather than him missing 1 gw and hazard missing one.

plus, i know a lot of people have more than 1 city player so it would effect other people negatively for city to go through.

Means I have a keeper in GW29. Nice one. Actually expected Wigan to be really up for that game.

Seeing as City will likely beat Chelsea I need to save my transfers to dump Yaya and Zab over the coming weeks.

News of the day for me too - have Marshall and McGregor and really didn't want to tranfer any of them. Would have to play without a keeper.

roryc

I would have been happy to dump Marshall for Boruc.

Already have Fonte, would happily dump Marshall, too but there are more urgent transfers to be made.
If Chelsea lost i will transfer Johnson out for Spurs mid.

IsMiseMyself

Just lost Suarez so far. Well, Sterling too but he tends to just occupy bench space. That's graaaaaand so far.

Nalz

So...

Cardiff, Sunderland, villa, Liverpool and city blanks in gw29... Should city see the next 15 mins through

Am I missing anything?

roryc

Down Mannone, Colback, Suarez, Sturridge, Yaya and Zabaleta. Could conceivably also be down Sagna, Mert and Coleman tomorrow! Hopefully Liverpool can do a repeat of last week and Everton can get past Swans. Need both results to go my way though!

Cardiff don't have a blank, they lost today.

IsMiseMyself

Villa as well? Ah shiiite. At this rate I won't have a team to play. XD

Down: Mannone, Adrian, Suarez, Sterling, Yaya, Benteke, and Dzeko. Then also maybe Kosc and Coleman, depending. Excellent...

Who needs players anyway?

You're not down Adrian yet. In fairness though, we need Brighton to beat Hull Monday night to save him.

Down: Suarez, Sturridge, Yaya, Mannone.
Available: Terry, Ivanovic, Ward, Lallana, Hazard, Ade, Noone, Mata.
To be decided: Adrian, Coleman, Mert.

robocode

Crap, I'm down 5 already. Still have a wildcard but don't know when best to play it

the incredible pudding

Hard to know what transfer(s) to make for that week. Definitely getting rid of Ibe as he wouldn't play anyways (have a budget of 9.7 so any player other than Mata is affordable).
I really need Everton to win tomorrow, arsenal win'd be nice too!

IanOBo

I presume we will know the whole story tomorrow about who will be giving that week a skip. Whatever happens it will be a struggle

Might be better to hold on for a big DGW.

Brighton have won their last 4 home games...hope they make it 5 on Monday night.

That would be super. Would leave me with 8 guaranteed plus Adrian as nine. Then I'd just need to ship out Mert and Yaya (which I'm happy to do) and I'd have 11 plus be able to save a transfer for future DGWs.

PARlance

Shaping up very nicely for me, gambles have been paying off lately and now I'm just left with 2 on the bench as it stands (Silva and Sturridge) and no Arsenal or Everton players.
Still think I want Arsenal to play in GW 29 (win tomorrow) as it'd mean less exposure to their DGW.
As it stands I should be able to go without hits and carry a FT after GW 30. Thinking about letting Silva go for the 2 GWs he misses to strengthen team for those two weeks.... It'll cost me 4 points down the line but may be worth it.

For Arsenal to play in GW29 they need to lose tomorrow.

No Suarez:eek: Gambles paying off, indeed. He is due few goals next week;)
Apart from being heavily loaded with Liverpool players i should be fine. 1 Everton player, 1 City player, 2 Sunderland players on the way out - one of which is bench warmer anyway.
Bit of planning needed as i want some of the players back soon, but this applies to every player really.

That's the danger. Getting rid of loads of players who then have DGWs. Hopefully they won't be too soon after (barring city utd)

roryc

But with City still in 4 competitions rotation becomes a nightmare. I wouldn't want to be captaining Yaya or Negredo only to see them being rested in one of the games, which is highly likely. I'll be holding on to Mannone as they will have 2 DGW's and keepers are good for points, even if one of the games is against City. Colback could get the chop this week, its unlikely he would return more than 4 points in a DGW so I probably wouldn't even play him ahead of any of my front 7.

I would say kompany and yaya are pretty rotation proof for City. I will shift Yaya after next week but bring him back by GW31 and kompany will follow suit.

I just posted on the General thread. Aguero back in training and will at least make the bench for next weekend. There was even mention of him making the bench for the Barca game.

City have 3 non PL games, then GW30 and then in 31 he'd have a double. Definite food for thought.

I'd include Aguero in this when fit. When fit is the big part though.

With him, Nasri and Jovetic coming back, City are very formidable.

Had planned on shifting out rvp for ade gw 28 then upgrading Benteke to aguero gw 30. But now benteke has a blank gw29.......

Ade is in some form though. 8 goals and 2 assists in ten. That's great value for his price.

It was a calculated gamble in fairness, I had been keeping my eye on their (S&S) returns in fairness and I'm glad I read it right...for the time being!!! So ya, it still deserves an :eek:
I was gonna bring back Suarez again if they had a GW29 game as I was getting nervous that he might explode soon, he can wait till afterwards now.

roryc

Working on my transfers for the next 4 weeks and it's becoming evident I really need Arsenal to play in GW29.

FutureGuy

Missing Sturridge, Suarez and Colback so far.

Opponents teams are currently in bits.

I may have to consider that li... Nasri..., he could get a lot of PL game time seeing as he is pretty fresh and may not play (or get limited game-time) in the big CL games.

Just checked back the status page on the FPL website and ~1k transfers in for Sturridge made in last few hours. Some prices movement will happen over next days...

Ara sure why not, he only could get injured before his next GW and then he has no game the following GW.

He has two games before he misses a GW, 27 and 28. He misses 29.
