Gameweek 10 transfers

kolczastyy

Definitelly dunno what to do so do nothing that GW.

My team:

Forster
Baines, Chambers, Bertrand
Silva, ADM, Fabregas, Siggy
Pelle, Lukaku, Costa

Subs: Hutton, Elmohamady, Moore

I considered ridding of Costa + Lukaku to Aguero + Berahino, but it would cost me -4 hit and. I consider Siggy + Lukaku to Sterling + Sakho too, but I noticed both plans included ridding of Lukaku, whom I bought last GM. It doesn't make sense... (maybe?)

I hope Costa is back, because remain further with him dropping could be very risky.

Is that cold-blooded-move smart you think?

AdMMM

Going to bank my transfer this week because if I was to make a change, I'd need my 2FTs.

One of the top scoring defenders in the game and but for his sending off he would still be top!

he's quality but it's hard to get past the fact he hasn't provided any attacking returns since his initial 3 gameweek burst

Always good to have a bit of cash in the attic. I've kept a few pound left aside for myself incase I need to get Costa back in after the international break

a kidnapping saga? that sounds about right next....

Looks like Sakho is out for the weekend. Bit of a blow, he was proving a nice differential for me personally.

@davidgold any updates on sakho?!?!


@davidgold “@JamieLigovich: @davidgold any updates on sakho?!?!”
Im hoping he will return for the game against Aston Villa. dg

Man, getting rid of Costa just frees up so much cash to play around with... I could go for.....

............. Forster.............
Baines.. Chambers.. Bertrand
fab.. Hazard.. Siggy.. Di Maria
.. Aguero.. Pelle.. Berahino

Subs: Hamer, Moore Taylor & boyd.

That's just ridiculously tempting.

It was too tempting for me, though I have Sanchez instead of Hazard - Cresswell instead of Chambers

Have Stephen Quinn at mo on bench and thinking of getting rid,whose best lad in 4.5 to 4.8m range at mo?...that's what I can afford.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Try good old Georgie Boyd at 4.4

Hard to look past Boyd. Nailed on and in an attacking role at 4.4.

Obertan may lose out when everyone is fit. Cork I don't know much about admittedly.

Thanks lads,Boyd it is then!!!:)

Yep, that's who I have!

After his heroic 8 pointer the first week Costa was out, he's a hero for me!

extra gravy

Use the Costa money to get Baines and Hazard or use the money to get him back in... If someone could just decide for me, that would be great!

Silva just hobbled off..... just when his form looked to be improving.....

think I'll just bank it as I'm planning a rejig of strikers and midfielders over the following few weeks

LostArt

1. Taylor and Sterling out, Baines and Chadli in or
2. Sterling and Wellbeck out and Sanchex and Berahino in?

I have 2ft

Mr.Prodston

As of now I've talked myself off the wildcard ledge yet again....for now :pac:

It means putting faith in Costa anyway and after that trying to figure out what I do with ADM and Fabregas and whether Sanchez and Hazard are worth hits to replace them. Baines looks like a pipe dream for now.

There's a few days left in the week yet though

jive

Siggy ---> Downing

Selling Siggy @ £6.4 (current price £6.8)

His fixtures are rough, Downing only £5.7 and likely to get more returns over the next 3 gameweeks than Siggy. Thoughts?

I don't think Sanchez is worth it personally. He effectively got gifted 2 goals against Sunderland and when Walcott is back he offers better value.

In comparison to adm I do think sanchez is worth it as he is a proven goalscorer and their fixtures are good particularly this week. It's a different story when Walcott is back though as you say.

NabyLadistheman

The biggest problem now is who do I drop if I were to get Costa back in?! Brought Pelle in and now feel like I cant really sell him such is the form he is in. That leaves me with Welbeck and I don't want to get rid of him, not before this weekend anyway.

May just double up Hazard & Fabregas & hope for the best

I'm not saying he is a bad option as I know he is a very good player and will score a decent amount of goals. I just can't justify paying around 10.5m for him when I can get Walcott for 9m so to me he just isn't worth it in that regard. In saying that though last season I was bigging up Silva when Yaya was the far better choice.

I was also in the silva camp last year. We were right in the end its just taken till this season to prove it.:pac:. Id see sanchez scoring more goals than any other midfielder in the league close to 20 if he can stay injury free. Walcott is the only other mid with that type of potential IMO. It will be interesting to see what way arsenal line up when walcott comes back as he will come straight into my team once match fit. Walcott and aguero would be my two favourite FF players.

That's one of the options I'm considering too, the other being ADM to Hazard. Downing and West Ham are looking good with a decent run of fixtures coming up. In both cases I'm just worried that I'd be selling a season keeper though.

Mostly the latter if we're being honest!

I've gone for it. I reckon Sigurdsson will lower in value over the next few weeks due to his fixtures anyway, and I will probably end up buying him back with it costing me £0.1 or £0.2 in a few weeks but I'll have more points to show for it than if I kept him

so you agree that downing is more miss than hit

but you've brought him in for siggy anyways

Ill have the 3 Chelsea lads aswell. Im thinking of switching the armband to sanchez incase the Chelsea gamble backfires.

with rio being suspended now, does this make QPR's defense significantly weaker ?

I don't have Sanchez but Welbeck and Aguero are possibilities but I think I'll play it safe with Costa, if he gets a big score it'll hurt, I took him out in GW3 and left him out for GW4 so he has almost single handedly put a huge dent in my season so far.

I did the exact same with Costa hopefully this weekend is payback time. It's my toughest captain choice of the season I'd have no problem giving the armband to 6 of my front 7.

Siggy vs. Downing

Siggy last 6 games: 3.66 ppg
Downing last 6 games: 4.5 ppg

Siggy next 8 games:
Eve (A), Ars (H), City (A), Pal (H), QPR (H), Hammers (A), Spurs (H), Hull (A)
Downing next 8 games:
Stoke (A), Villa (H), Eve (A), Newc (H), WBA (A), Swa (H), Sun (A), Lei (H)

Of the above fixtures, Swansea have one easier fixture than West Ham.

Swansea have 1 win in their last 6 (Lei (H)). West Ham have won 4 of their last 6 (City (H), Bur (A), QPR (H), Liv (H)).

Siggy price £6.8m (sold for £6.4m)
Downing £5.7m
= £0.7m to spend elsewhere

Downing has 1 goal, 3 assists so far + 8 bonus points
Sigurdsson has 1 goal, 7 assists + 7 bonus points
- from these stats it would appear that the BPs system favours Downing

Swansea - 7 goals in last 6 gameweeks
West Ham - 13 goals in last 6 gameweeks

Downing has been playing well in the last few weeks, Sigurdsson has been anonymous in the three games I've watched him in.

The stats of the last few weeks say Downing is the better choice right now. Downing has been a bit of a running joke since his flop at Liverpool but he's actually a decent player. Sigurdsson is better for sure, but it's only points I care about and right now it looks like Downing has a much higher chance of delivering more points over the next few weeks and at a lesser price than Sigurdsson.

It's not the most pressing transfer in the world, but I've 2 FTs and I had to find a way to use one to improve my team and this is it.

I'm not sure why you have decided to only include the las 6 GW's - why not include all 9? if we look at last 3/4/5 games, Siggy has better stats, it appears that you chose 6 because over that sample downing is better?

Downing next 8 games - how many of these will Sakho be out injured - he has 5 goals and 2 assists over the 6 game frame that you are working off - he will be a big loss for West ham - they pretty much has no other recognise fit striker atm. This needs to be factored into any predictions you make about games being easier/harder.

You say Siggy has been anonymous in the 3 games you've seen him in, but in fact over the last 3 GW's he has outscored Downing - so again you seen to be picking and choosing what games you've witnessed, while at the same time saying Downing has been playing well.

All in all, you actually haven't given any concentre reasoning that downing is in fact better than siggy, only reason i would downgrade him in your spot would be for the extra $$$, the rest doesn't add up imo.

I chose 6 because that's since the international break. If you want to look at stats from GW1 then that's your prerogative but in this case I'm looking at form over the last 6 GWs which is a nice sample size and is more recent. I don't see how this is 'picking and choosing' to suit Downing.

Siggy has had 1 attempt at goal in his last 4 games. If we look at the last 3/4/5 games Downing actually has better stats than Siggy. The only important area where Siggy has Downing beat at the minute is in shot conversion of his team mates who he assists. I expect that conversion rate to fall, and in turn Siggy's points return, and because he has been offering so little in front of goal I expect Downing to outscore him.

Andy Carroll is set to return which will suit Downing in his role at the minute. Sakho is only going to miss one game.

It just means Dunne will start so most of the goals will probably be ogs!

I could easily have written that post, It seems we have similar thought processes quite often, goes back to the Tevez debate from two seasons ago, you probably remember:). Yaya last year was an aberration, Silva is always likely to rack up more assists than any other player in the league but this year for some reason his great work has been followed with poor finishing, meanwhile Fabregas is seeing bread and butter stuff followed up with superb finishing (you probably don't agree with the last bit). DiMaria meanwhile goes on a Mr Magoo style points bender where he brings home the bacon without knowing how he done it(:p those accidental goal/assists are still eating at me)

It's driving me a bit mad that so many people are getting on the Hazard bus now when he's done so little points wise for those of us who've owned him for most of the year:(

I'll almost certainly have Sanchez back in my team this weekend, I had him for the first three or four weeks this year and talked him up pre season, I thought he would hit the ground running hard, his game is ideal for England, however like yourself busts young Theo is my favourite FPL player of all so I'll have to make room for him after a few weeks.

Is Azpilicueta back or will Luis star again?
