Gameweek 9 Transfers.

Ziegler1988

I don't think I'll be bringing in Tadic, Pelle, or Baines either. Pretty happy with my template front 8 and don't see the need to chop and change after an 8-0 freak result and before Everton are back in Europa action.

Well Baines well probably be a season keeper and his price will rise a bit so might be best to get him in now

You could argue Cesc, Sterling, Siggy, ADM, Costa, and Aguero are also season keepers. So that leaves me with downgrading Welbeck to say Sakho or Berahino which I don't think is worth it. I'll just have to watch enviously for now

Will he rise much though? He's owned by 600k already so about 20% of people and is quite expensive.

He's only the 7th most transferred in player today. Jagielka is ahead of him and has twice as many transfers in.

I expect Tadic, Pelle and Aguero to see most of the transfer activity. I'd say a good few hits will be taken this week.

Okay I need some advice. I have 2 FT and I'm thinking of transferring out Ulloa and Sterling and bringing in Pelle and a 6.7m midfielder (maybe Downing or Henderson). Good decision or should I stick with what I have?

I have Baines now but for me a 7m defender at a mid table team will never be a season keeper, I'll take advantage of his nice run of fixtures but I know that as soon as I NEED money to make a pressing transfer he will be the one to get the bullet.

Just read these figures below.

Take three very popular premium midfielders, Silva, YaYa, Fabregas and their scores over the last 4 years.
Silva (151, 147, 184, 144) -> average of 156.5 points
YaYa (241, 142, 139, 146) -> average of 167 points
Fabregas last 4 PL seasons (205, 108, 214, 128) -> 163.75 points

and then look at Baines (169, 177, 134, 178) -> average 164.5.

Yes, I've only picked three players but they are very much all a premium midfielder in FF terms and I haven't all night for further analysis......

Baines is basically a premium midfielder for 7.1m. Very difficult to argue against having him when looking at numbers like those above.

My only decision now is who to get in for Sterling as I make room for Baines. It's either Tadic or Henderson. Might go for Tadic. Could get a price rise out of him and ship him off in 4 weeks time.

I'm not arguing about having him. I was making a point that I don't expect his price to rise rapidly due to his already quite high ownership, expensive price (for a defender) and the fact that alot of players performed well this week.

2FTs this week

Any use using a transfer with that team? 0.4 itb, Sterling on thin ice - nice fixture coming up but he could be rested? Tempted to get Eriksen for him but Tottenham looking poor enough although they have 1 top 4 team in their next 9 game including Newcastle at home next

I wouldn't be gone on Baines. Can never get my head around tying up that much in defence and being heavily restricted on my big hitters elsewhere.

This excellent post is causing me to reconsider for the first time.

I'm trying to get Baines & Coleman in now

Coleman had 11 more points than Baines last year (I think he played 4 more games).
So even with Baines on set pieces, Seamie is a match for him. Can't see it being any different this year either.
They got their pricing right with Seamie at 7m... The buggers

Seems a bit of a horizontal move. Only reason to do it is price but I'll likely keep Hazard for the season, suspension/injury permitting, and I'd expect him to outscore Fabregas comfortably enough.

G1032 wrote: »

I have a new plan which is solid enough I think.

Clyne -> Baines
Sterling -> Tadic

Ideally I'd not bring Tadic in but this will give me Southampton cover which seemingly everyone but me will have and I'll avoid taking a hit. I'll keep Welbeck and have 0.3 itb.

Next week if there are no injuries etc I can do Fabianski to Forster if I want Southampton defensive cover back again.

Any opinions on this?

I'm in a very similar position, although already have Pelle, plus 2 Southampton defence.

My only doubt is that I'd like to keep Clyne for the longer term past this golden run of fixtures as he's going to be a good enough option to rotate after that. Forster is my only keeper so he'll have to go in four weeks or so.

I'd pretty well decided to leave Baines but kinda have me sold. I could do those same two transfers and have 1.0 left in the bank. Is it a no brainer?

Current team

Forster. Hamer.
Clyne. Chambers. Duff. Moore. Hutton.
Fabregas. Adm. Sterling. Siggy. The Boyd Wonder.
Pelle. Costa. Aguero.

irish son

I'm thinking Di Maria to Tadic or maybe Erikson and then use the money next week to upgrade a defender to Baines though I'll see how tomorrow goes first.

I'm going against the grain on here and holding onto Sterling over Di Maria because he has an easier run of games, I know he has a larger risk of being rested but I'm hoping with Sturridge out and the bad start Liverpool have made that Rodgers won't be able to afford to rest him. I'd love to get Pelle for Costa instead but I don't have the balls for that move.

Well that is a superb retort.:)

But honestly, do you really believe that Fabregas will continue to outscore Hazard this year. I'd say the likelihood of that happening is minimal.

Well fabregas is gonna have a hand in most goals, scored by either costa or hazard, so his gonna benfit either way imo, i think the way chelsea are set up this season wont suit hazard as much either, fabregas to out score hazard imo,

A friend of mine has both seamie and baines - feckers have saved his week and he's still ahead of me in our private league.

Very tempted to try and make it work to get Seamie in myself

Too many eggs in one basket imo! if everton have a bad week... better off spending that money on cheaper defenders for bigger teams, and spreading it out over a few teams,

Getting Chadli in anyway, Spurs have a lovely run of fixtures coming up. They might be unpredicatable, but there is the potential for points there.

You could be right, but i'm disagreeing with you on this occasion! I think Hazard will be top scoring midfielder overall so i'm sticking with the man

mufcboy1999

just shipped out begovic (what a letdown stoke have been at the back btw) and terry to get in baines and foster who'll have to be rotated with krul. I was going to wildcard it to shift naismith out too and try squeeze in welbeck or pelle because both teams have a great few games ahead on paper but somethings just telling me to hold off till walcotts back fully fit.

Double Everton fullbacks is so last season, it's all about double Southampton now .

You've had Clyne since 5.0m right? It seems as though Berty is the fullback of choice going forward; he could/should have had an assist if it wasn't ruled a Bridcutt OG. But no point making that sideways move now

Is anyone concerned about Costa? Rumours of a 3 week injury floating about. Would people sell him if that was the case? Lot of money to be sitting on the bench.

And if ya do keep him on the bench, it makes the 5th midfielder more important

In his last 3 games his had a 2 assists and a goal, and he could have had alot more! your making it out like his playing bad which couldnt be further from the truth, and based on his goal scoring record im saying his a must have.

Yeah thats abit of a sickener alright ! i suppose the best you could do would be to wait and see,but if i had to get rid of him id go straight for welbeck

SantryRed

Think I'm going to go:

Sterling -> Chadli
Taylor -> Baines

And it gives me enough cash to go Fab -> Hazard after the Liverpool away game and go Bertrand -> Azpi or Terry/Cahill. Chelsea fixtures after the Liverpool away game mean a defender of theirs is a must have imo. Southampton's fixtures get a lot tougher after the next four, so it matches up perfectly for me!

Shedite27

Are we being a bit harsh jumping ship from Sterling? He's had solid returns this year, and if ya look at his fixtures up to the Jan Wildcard, there's a lot of games you'd fancy him to score...

Hull (H)
Newcastle (A)
Chelsea (H)
Crystal Palace (A)
Stoke (H)
Leicester (A)
Sunderland (H)
Man Utd (A)
Arsenal (H)
Burnley (A)
Swansea (H)

Ssssh I need some people to join me on the non-Sterling side of the fence

Otherwise I'll have to find some way of squeezing him in and fully "template suit-up" as Barney Stinson might say

I'm trying to get away from the "template" too but think Siggy/Cesc could be the best way out, possibly replacing them with the likes of Walcott/Ramsey/Barkely/Tadic.

You never want to ditch Siggy with Leicester (h) up next. If Costa's back it makes it easier to ditch Cesc in my opinion.

I'm in the exact same boat. Add to that that Pellè will rise tonight.
Thing is. I'd love to ditch Ulloa. But if Costa is really injured... To allow Ulloa -> Pellè I need to get rid of either Sterling or Ivanovic...

About Sterling. He was supposed to be tired before, during and after the international break. He played the full 90 today and Liverpool had to pull the finger. Wednesday they play Real Madrid in Anfield and it's a must win game. So Sterling should play. Is it insanely stupid to think he might be rested for Hull at home. Or is it me fantasising my transfer plan? Or is all this tiring stuff bullsh*t talks?

That's a very good score. I may be wrong on this but there doesn't seem to be a 2447 place at the moment, it jumps from 2413 to 2469. What's your team id?
