Gameweek 3 transfers

roryc

Yep Bojan has to go. Annoying though! Have £6.5m to work with, or possible more if I dump Mata too.

djPSB

Will anyone be taking a chance on Balotelli?

Bojan to Naismith I think

For the record, my account was hacked when someone posted as me talking about getting rid of Lamela above. I've reported it to the Admins.

I'm looking at Jelavic in for Bojan. Unsure who to replace Pieters with, plenty of options though.

Why Jelavic? Just wondering. I'm thinking Naismith myself.

mufcboy1999

I think naismith is the best bet for a cheap striker.

the incredible pudding

I'll probably get Dummett in for Ferdinand and might get Lamela in for Eriksen.

roryc

I'll be looking closely at Wickham and Fletcher today. One of them will likely be my replacement for Bojan, as they face QPR next week. Worst defence in the league!

Maybe someone here can help me with this: Is it worth taking a points hit (-8 or -12) to get in players who's prices are going up? Eg. Costa will likely continue to rise, Ramsey, Hutton etc. I'd rather save my wildcard.

Price rises are less volatile this season so I don't think it's worth chasing bandwagons. Costa and Ramsey are fine, but Hutton's fixtures are terrible after next week. That being said, I already have Hutton so feel free to help drive his price up

This is what your wild card is for, so you don't have to take a big points hit

Alfred Borden

Moreno or Lovern? Swapping Chambers out and have 1 million in the bank. Already have Debuchy.

iamanengine

Thinking Sterling in for Sanchez or am I jumping the gun?

Necronomicon

I'm now strongly thinking of Eriksen to Lamela. Anyone in the same boat?

I have Eriksen and am frustrated with another blank, but at least he was getting in good positions in the box and could have scored that free kick. Lamela seems like a sideways move at the moment.

Yup, if Eriksen was cheaper I'd probably be happy enough to keep him but at the same price I think Lamela is better value.

Yeah, he didn't play badly or anything and there were 3 or so moments in the game where he looked like he'd score some points. Lamela just looks more likely to be involved in points scoreing opportunities, he's playing in a very advanced position.

It is definitely somewhat of a sideways step, but i'd consider it a tiny step up at the same time!

Danger781

Sigh..

Lost 0.1 on Filipe Luis
Lost 0.1 on Davies
Lost 0.1 on Mata (I plan on keeping him anyway)

Giroud about to drop also so that'll be another 0.1.. Can't afford this ****e at all

Danger781

Honestly tempted to just do my wildcard already as I have so many I want / need out

IsMiseMyself

If United don't perk up, I'll be very tempted to pull the trigger on the wildcard. They look incapable of defending. They look worse right now than under Moyes.

sionnach

Think I'm going to bank my transfer this week and probably bring in Dier and Naismith afterwards, they both have a tough week coming.

G1032

Caulker is going to have to go tonight. I'll probably bring I a Southampton defender.

JaMarcusHustle

Think I'm gonna have to get rid of De Gea. Such a promising fixture list but those in front of him are excrutiatingly bad.

I would nearly say is Rooney worth having, I said it yesterday that I didn't think united had clicked yet.

BEcause he scored today. That's how this forum works

You're jumping the gun if ya do it before Sterling plays tomorrow anyway

Either De Gea or Rooney are out the door anyway.

De Gea first. The defence is brutal.

IsMiseMyself

Not quite sure what to do for GW 3. Bojan needs to go but no one fills me with hope. Naismith is the only cheap striker looking lively but he plays Chelsea next week. Sunderland *should* put a couple past QPR but both Fletcher and Wickham looked a bit rubbish.

Tempted to ship Pieters out for Rose and play 4-4-2 instead of three up front with the aim of turning my team into 3-5-2 soon after.

Cypher_sounds

Thinking of bringing in Coleman, have the funds to.

id keep him one more GW, home against sunderland next.

For me its time to bring in sergio , had this planned from the beginning.

Dr. Bre

Costa, Aanholt, ward prowse in. Luis Nasri Bojan out

Harvey Low Fat Milk

Terry -> Bertrand
Bojan -> Naismith

Hopefully this will eventually fund an upgrade up front.

Id stay with some sort of chelsea cover at the back the way they play. I know JT might not score as much as chelsea's two full backs but he's pretty much a cert to start, either azpillcueta or ivanovic will be dropped in the coming weeks for luis regardless of how well they play imo.

I'll get a Chelsea defender in again but they have City, Arsenal and Everton away in their next five so I don't think there's too much value defensively over the next few GW but one of the back four will be back eventually.

FutureGuy

I'm not really sure what to do with the transfer. I have a few players I wouldn't mind getting out but now mightn't be the time.

He's going down in place either tonight or tomorrow night and I don't think prepared to take that 0.1m hit. QPR look terrible too. It was a mistake putting him in my team in the first place.

extra gravy

Think I'm going to do Begovic to Krul. Stoke have City away next and Newcastle have Palace at home and nice fixtures until Spurs away in GW9. Caulker and Fletcher also on the chopping block.

Cue Mata to score 12 points

On 10 as we speak...this is why its best not to knee jerk!

Ace2007

Nothing really stands out for me, might bank the transfer, or see what the injury update is for giroud/Schürrle later in the week.

As others said united's defence is very shaky but jones has potential to get BPS, also burley and QPR have scored 1 goal between them so far so should get at least 1 clean sheet there.

2 Fts.
I have already changed Bojan to Naismith.
Have Brady in Midfield that I need to get rid of, I have 2.9m in the bank so can afford up to 7.8m. I am thinking of taking a punt on Siem de Jong at Newcastle. They have Palace next week and a few easy fixtures after. He had a serious scoring record at Ajax and came on for the first time this weekend.

Thoughts?

Newcastle haven't score this season yet.
Is he a guaranteed starter already, if not best to wait till he scores. a few of the spurs lads would be better choice imo.

roryc

Why is everyone is such a hurry for Naismith? Sure he's £5.1m but they're up against the best defence in the league next week! The Liverpool and United in GW6 and 7.

I think He'll start. He was their big signing this summer. Injured for the first game and came off the bench yesterday.
Yeah I hear you on spurs, would love to add Eriksen or Lamela but fall short on funds, Can only afford Chadli but don't fancy that. Other Mids are Mata, Silva, Ramsey and Siggy btw.
I could also buy a Bargain mid (e.g. JWP) and Bank the cash. Decisions, decisions...

Looks like he'll do well this year and his Price is going up!! Also who is better value for that kind of price?
He'll be bench fodder for me when up against top sides though.

Although I wouldn't be getting on the Naismith train, neither Liverpool nor Man U are what you would call 'defensively sound'.

As a cheap attacker he isn't the worst option.

dahat

Begovic for Krul, a waste really but that Stoke team is a mess just now. Pieters is about the best of them.

I was really tempted to WC but being so close to the break I will resist as many injuries etc can occur.

With barkley missing he is nailed on in the team. Looks sharp and is cleaning up on BPS. Tough fixtures but he is a bargain at 5m.

Frees up cash to bring in some big hitters when they hit the ground running. Can do aguero, RVP or Hazard straight away on a single transfer without ripping up my team. I like having that flexibility

Sgt Pepper 64

The only thing that I want to do is ship out De Gea, keeps losing points!
