Gameweek 34 Transfers.

skippy15

To aguero or not to aguero.
Is it worth taking the risk on what is biggest devision left for most.
I feel negatives are selling sturidge. Limited game time potentially and injury prone
Positives potential to score heavily. Will be hard work back in as would have 3 city and can do it now easily. Will be citys main player when returns and guaranteed to start once fit. Second dgw is sunderland which should play. Would want him gw 37 anyways.
I think risk of getting him in is worth it as will regret not taking risk more . Ive just convinced myself

My plan this week is Colback and Sturridge out for Aguero and Barkley.

Would leave me with...

Mannone (x2)
Baines (x2) - Cahill - Ward (x2)
Silva (x2) - Yaya (x2) - Hazard - Barkley (x2)
Lukaku (x2) - Aguero (x2) - Suarez

Very solid team. I have Coleman/Azpil for Baines/Cahill but the only real change between us is Ageuro for you, Zabaleta for me. This is where preparation should really be rewarded, I'm looking at teams with only 4 or 5 DGW players while we have 8.

Are you giving Kun the armband?

Why getting rid of Hart? He has a DGW also.
I'd also wait for news on Yaya before moving him out.

I guess if you kept Sagna that long it's for his remaining fixtures which offer CS potentials.

How much have you in the bank?
I'd ditch either Whittaker or Olsson (ideally both of them - it depends for whom though) for a CP defender (Ward being 1st choice) and/or a City or Everton defender.

My only reason to get rid of Hart was to free a Man City place for Silva. Move to Howard would also give me the 0.1 I need to buy Silva (nothing in bank)
I also felt Everton's fixtures easier than City's who face Pool.
But look open to any advice you can give. I was not doing so great till lately and now am in the shout for last money place in my work League.


just checked again. Have 0.3 in bank

Could do Stones and Puncheon for Olssen and Richardson
Give me 7 DGW players

Steven81

Last two times I goy Aguero in on my team I got a week or two out of him and off he went injured, not doing it a third time

I'm considering it but will wait for team news on Aguero and Yaya. The plan was to wait until I knew whether Aguero was fine - buy him if he is, get a defender if he's not.

Are you worried about Richards being back? I'll probably get Kompany now if I go with defense.

Rikand

Have 2 free transfers this week, looking at doing Gerrard - Silva and Sturridge to Aguero. Would leave me with this ::

Mannone(x2)
Azpil - Ward(x2) - Coleman(x2)
Jedinak(x2) - Mirallas(x2) - Yaya(x2) - Hazard - Silva(x2)
Aguero(x2) - Suarez

Ah right. If I were you I'd wait for news on Yaya. If bad I'd get Silva instead. If good I'd go for Stones and Puncheon.

Beware though that Stones game time may be diminished by Jagielka's return. We should hopefully know in time if he's fit or not. In that case I'd get Ward (or Mariappa if you don't have the money) instead of Stones.

AlanDeGenerous

Current team is:

Speroni
Azpil-Coleman-Ward
Yaya-Silva-Hazard-Sterling
Lukaku-Suarez-Sturridge

Have 2.8 in the bank and 2 FTs. Thinking of doing Sturridge to Aguero and Sterling to Barkley, although Everton have some seriously fixtures after this GW so I don't know if I want to be stuck with 3 of their players...

Rosco79

Team as follows, happy enough even though my closest rival may have 9 DGW players to my 7......

Mannone (*2)
Ward (*2) Demichelis (*2) Cahill
Barkley (*2) Gerrard Hazard Yaya (*2)
Lukaku (*2) Aguero (*2 hopefully...) Suarez

Pelligrini might be all talk at this stage but he's certainly hinting at a return to a front two for the Liverpool game which the Liverpool set up would definitely allow. This wouldn't be a bad outcome for those of us without Narsi or Silva, sending them back a little deeper to 'assist the assist'.....

Yeah also have 2 FTs (don't have 2.8m though!). Thinking of an Everton mid, but that would also bring me up to 3 Eve players, so might not go for it. Only problem is, not sure who else to go for.

roryc

I have the same dilemma but I think Sturridge is more consistent than Lukaku. It's a choice of Suarez, Rooney and Lukaku or Suarez, Rooney and Sturridge. I pick the latter. Everton are fighting for a CL spot but Liverpool can win the league. From GW 35 onwards, with corresponding previous results:

Liverpool Fixtures
Norwich away - Won 5-1 (Sturridge didn't play)
Chelsea home - Lost 2-1 (Sturridge didn't play)
Palace away - Won 3-1 (Sturridge 9 points)
Newcastle home - Drew 2-2 (Sturridge 5 points)

Everton Fixtures
United home - Won 1-0 (Lukaku 5 points)
Southampton away - Won 2-1 (Lukaku 9 points)
City home - Lost 3-1 (Lukaku 6 points)
Hull away - Lost 2-1 (Lukaku 2 points)

Both have tough games, although with strikers the opposition doesn't matter as much. The decision isn't that straight forward anyway. If Liverpool lose at the weekend their season is over imo. Everton's season isn't over until after the Hull game, I reckon 4th spot will go down to the wire. In saying that, if Liverpool draw/beat City then I'll be dumping Lukaku for Rooney. If City win I'll reassess but will likely still do the same.

I'm going to go with Kompany myself. I think he and Zab will start every game but Kompany can pop up with the odd goal and there's more chance of bps IMO.

Currently with 7 players playing twice:

Mannone (x2)
Ward (x2) Zabaleta (x2) Azpilicueta
Barkley (x2) Gerrard Hazard Yaya (x2)
Lukaku (x2) Dzeko (x2) Suarez

Bench: Adrian | Collins | Chambers | Noone

Lots of money on the bank (because or transferring rooney -» dzeko in previous GW)

ATM I’m considering 2 options:
1 – Get Kun Aguero (not comfortable about his gametime…)
2 – Get Everton defender (which would mean benching Azpi away against Swansea)

Any suggestions ??

havent had to take hits in a while but my team is fcuked this week

jrod collins
jellyfish and mata not playing

dont mind too much taking a punt when its a double though
puncheon might be that punt and i might
welcome lukaku back to my team even though the fcuker never
did much for me when i had him

Anybody know why Boruc didn't play against City? Thinking of downgrading my sub keeper from McGregor to Gazzaniga to free up some funds

He injured himself in training on Friday. I haven't seen any news about how long he'll be out for.

Lemlin

My team at the minute:

Mannone (x2)
Coleman (x2), Ward (x2), Bardsley (x2)
Hazard, Lallana, Yaya (x2), Silva (x2)
Sturridge Suarez Lukaku

Subs: Adrian, Terry, Chester, Nolan

I'm counting myself out of Aguero for this GW I think. There are just too many uncertainties. I have been burned by him twice already this season (not even including his December injury). I'd also prefer to hold out and see how he does on his return. I rate him above Suarez but I'm not going to jump in feet first this time.

Playing Bardsley will depend very much on how Sunderland play tonight. They are capable of defending well as they showed earlier in the season but they have slipped back recently.

Without Bardsley, I'll still have six DGW players. My transfer will then either be Bardsley to Kompany and/or Nolan to Puncheon/Barkley. I don't wish to take a -4 but I badly need Nolan out of my team and I think now could be the only opportunity to do it and lessen the hit as Puncheon/Barkley would have two games.

The problem with Kompany is that he'll leave me with three City players so that rules out Aguero for the rest of the season. City play West Brom home, Palace away, Everton away & Villa home and West Ham home after the DGW. The two games that worry me are the last two. I think Aguero could be essential for those.

manual_man

thinkin' of gettin in Giroud, bit of a differential, already have 3 City etc. will decide closer to time

Mr.Prodston

We know I like a left-field punt and I think Lewis Holtby could be next in line for the Mr.P treatment. I'll assess things during the week.

Not this season but in the previous 2 years I've gotten more right than wrong which is why I'm persisting with my own judgement. I've got nothing to lose now anyway.

I like having players fighting relegation battles at this point on. If Fulham win at the weekend via an inspired Holtby then they're right back in the mix. It'd be risky but it's not without a wacky justification.

Devia

Best JRod replacement lads? No money in the bank so can't afford Lukaku. Was thinking Naismith but might be a bit of a stretch.

if you had only 4m to spend on a defender that would cost you -4, would it be better to just field 10 players. I have palace keeper already, so don't think it's worth getting Mariappa.

Eriksen forcing himself into my plans with this performance, even if Sunderland have been woeful.

If there's any week that move is worth doing it's this week because of the DGW. I can see Palace keeping a clean sheet at home to Villa and that'd pay for your transfer straight away.

Palace have a great side at the moment and are defensively excellent.

kilburn

Looking at Terry to Kompany, Terry has been a keeper all season but it is a case of 5 games versus 7 now, any thought?

Iused2likebusts

That eriksen show has changed my thoughts about this weeks transfer the leader in both my money leagues had him. I need to take a risk in my money leagues now and although I was going to wait till gw 35 for aguero Im probably going to do it this week now.

I'm also thinking of aguero in for sturridge. If aguero gets crocked again it's an easy swap to rooney, if aguero doesn't get crocked i'll prob downgrade lallana or hazard to get money for Rooney in for lukaku.
All these after lallana plays cardiff and lukaku plays the dgw.
Need to get mata back in too though so getting in aguero will probably result in a hit next week but like you I need to take a risk and a fit aguero at home to Sunderland could reap huge benefits.

Ye same thinking re aguero breaking down straight swap to rooney if it happens. I'll probably do nothing gw 35 and then 3 transfers for 36 baines lallana lukaku out azpil mata rooney in. Im hoping rvp doesnt come back for the double though mata and rooney much better FF wise without him. City play monday gw 35 home to wba so gives aguero 5 days recovery aswell after the sunderland game. Id hope for 30 against pool 70 against sunderland and 90 against wba.

That's a fair assessment on aguero's gametime, dzeko is doing decent enough so I think they'd be happy to start him and bring aguero on when they need him, I think they'd prefer to hold off until 30 mins to go like you say but if they're a goal or 2 down he might appear at half time v Liverpool.
Rooney and mata are def better ff wise without Rvp and dare I say united actually look better. Well not so much that they look better without rvp, more that they look better with mata in his correct role.

Will hold off on the aguero transfer until the last possible moment though to try get any more info.

ye i agree mata is a class player wasted on the wing and rooney isnt creative enough playing off a striker. I think utd are much better with mata off rooney or rvp. I'll be waiting till team news friday aswell.

Ace2007

Anyone here follow Newcaslte? Have they changed formation or has Dummett now lost his place to someone?, if there is any chance he'll play at the weekend could save me making a transfer.

Mr. Incognito

He was in for santon when santon was injured. Doubt he will play

Agree with this. However, after Newcastle conceding eight goals in two games, he may well be played this week. He's a favourite of Pardew as well but too risky to rely on for 90 minutes.

ChoiChoi

My team for the double -

Speroni x 2

Coleman (x 2) -- Azpil -- Dann (x 2)

Toure(C) (x 2) -- Haz -- Nasri (x 2) -- Barkley (x 2)

Aguero (x 2) -- Suarez -- Lukaku(VC) (x 2)

Subs: Ki (x 2), Vlaar, Chester (blank)


Took a punt on aguero this week against my better judgement. Toure's yellow flag is annoying though because if I lost two city dgw players my season will be toast!

hurlingman97

Mannone.
Distin - Mariappa - Coleman.
Barkley - Silva - Lallana - Toure - Hazard.
Dzeko - Suarez.

Subs: Adrian - Sturridge - Azpilicueata - Rosenior.

That's my team. Two transfers Baker to Mariappa and Gerard to Silva.

larchielads

palace goal keeper or defender lads?????

Worth -4 to get Lukaku in for Studge for one week only? Fear Lukaku for these two fixtures and don't fancy Studge to return much against City.

It'll be Rooney in after the dgw.

I would think yes against palace and sunderland

Barkley to start both games in the DGW? Pretty much changed the game against Arsenal when he came on, and Osman is doubtful.

Fingers crossed he plays both matches since I just got him in

My current team for GW 34
Mannone Mc Gregor(inj)
Cahill Demichelis Baines Coleman Collins(inj)
Delph (inj) Mutch Hazard Sterling Nolan
Suarez Lukaku Sturridge

Have a direct rival in a private league that I'm dead level on points with....have had close battles with him last few years and lost out each year..(financially) so don't want to let him beat me this year;)....good news for me is I have 2.3 m in bank ...he only has .3 m to play with.
Heres his current team....

Boruc(inj) Lewis (never plays)
Distin Chester Shaw Gibbs(inj) Gabbidon
Y Toure Mirallas Hazard Huddlestone(inj) Sterling
same front three as me.
We both have 2 FT....
I'm thinking of dumping Mannone...even though he has DGW Sunderland in disarray...what keeper would ye go for of similar money value with best fixtures to end of season?
He has Mirallas who could gain lot of points in DGW...What midfielder should I go with from now to seasons end using up the extra 2m I have to play with......maybe instead of Nolan for example....
thoughts appreciated...this one is personal:)

I'd probably keep Manonne for this week, even if Sunderland concede a few he's unlikely to get less than 4 which is a decent return for a keeper. Instead I'd use your 2 FT to get a couple of DGW players in, preferably from Everton or City. If I were you I'd dump Nolan and Sterling and get in Barkley and Silva (if you have enough, which you should... just about!)

EDIT: Just realised you already have 3 Everton players already, so that's my plan ruined! You have a sh*t load of money tied up in your defence that would probably be better spent in your midfield. You could downgrade either Baines or Coleman and use it to fund an extra City player and then also get Barkley in.

Well.

With no transfers, you're gonna play:

Mannone (X2)
Demichelis (X2) Baines (X2) Coleman (x2) either Cahill
Hazard Sterling Nolan or Mutch
Suarez Lukaku (X2) Sturridge

and he's gonna play

Boruc (inj)
Distin (X2) Chester Shaw
Y Toure (X2) Mirallas (X2) Hazard Sterling
Suarez Lukaku (X2) Sturridge

You have a DGW keeper. He doesn't. Your defense is much stronger, even offering serious attacking potential. But he could make some big damages with his midfield. So that's where I'd focus.

You need to replace Nolan and Sterling. How much do you get for selling them ? About £13 m ? That would give you about £15 m to play with?

You absolutely need a City midfielder. I don't think it's worth getting an Everton one. That'd already take your 2 FT. So the second mid you could get would be from either CP or Sunderland. Basically it's between Puncheon and A. Johnson. Sunderland will play an extra game and have maybe slightly better fixtures 'till the end of the season. But their form is catastrophic. Though Johnson's one is not too bad. It's a tough call. Can you afford Yaya + Puncheon for example? Or Silva + Johnson?

Your opponent only having £0.3 m in the bank is limited in his moves unless he sells either Hazard or Sturridge. He also has 3 Everton players and a City mid. He can't afford neither a City def. nor Aguero. He may take a punt on Dzeko (Sturridge out). He could replace Sterling but with whom? Puncheon seems the only possible DGWer in that price bracket. He could also get a CP def who plays (instead of Gabbidon).

So if you absolutely want Mannone out you could get Speroni (CP GK). That could match one of your opponent move. If he wants a keeper that's probably the only one (with Mannone) he can afford.

AlanDeGenerous

Sturridge due a price drop tonight which means I'll probably have to jump on Aguero before hearing any injury updates. Hope he doesn't let me down again!
