Gameweek 10 transfers

jimmii · 31-10-2014 5:59pm

Foster - Krul
Naylor - Chambers - Colo - Lovren - Cameron
Tadic - Boyd - Hazard - Siggy - Sterling
Costa - Pelle - Aguero

2FTs 0.1m ITB

Plan for this week was Lovren & Sterling out which is still the plan but no one is jumping out at me! If I had acted earlier during the week I would have done Lovren>3.9m and Sterling>Sanchez but now Sanchez would need a -4. These are what I have it down to right now:

A) Ivan & Chadli

Ramsey & Kaboul
C) Take the -4 and do Sterling, Lovren & Naylor>Sanchez, Moore & Wisdom (or another two defs for 8.4m)

A is the one that I favour but C is also very tempting if I didn't have Costa as Sanchez is a nice VC just in case he is a no show. Is there a better move to make?

Yeah from his time at Villa I have a soft spot for him. He works so hard and is very good from set pieces. I think Silva takes most of City's corners/frees (someone might correct me on that) - so that would also benefit Milner.

The only issue I see is his game time once Silva is back. It could be another transfer you need to do in a few weeks.

Thanks for that. I realise that I'll probably be looking to rid myself of him after the break but it wouldn't shock me if he played a lot more this year. I have him ahead of Navas on current form but it's obviously a bit of a risk. It's never a huge risk with a 5.3m player though, I said earlier the other player I fancy at that price is Zaha but I assume he can't play against United next week so I'd be raging if I hadn't good cover.

Think of me when Milner bursts the net a couple of times on Sunday:pac:

Nobody to talk me out of Milner for 5.3 with Silva likely to miss the next two league games? Whatever I've seen of city this year he seems to be getting chances, nobody else is jumping out at me for the max price of 5.3.

short-term maybe, but with nasri back now, and silva in a few gameweeks time, you may well be looking to move him on when all City's attackers are fit and available. if we consider aguero and silva as certs, that leaves just 2 positions open between milner/nasri/navas/jovetic/dzeko. i can see the temptation, but honestly it would be a bit too risky for me

It is really a two week punt with a back of the mind hope that it might extend a bit further(Swiper prays for injuries to Silva, Nasri or Navas:o). 12 points from those two games would be great, hopefully it won't require a hit to get him out.

well yeah as long as you're aware of the risks... for the record i've been quite impressed with what i've seen of Milner, definitely getting in more attacking positions. looking just a bit forward, gw15 til the new year is nice for hull, possible swap out for diame at that stage if you have a bit of small change in the kitty

kevohmsford · 31-10-2014 6:30pm

Silva out for Ramsey this week.

extra gravy · 31-10-2014 6:34pm

Would appreciate some opinions guys. Have 1 FT and just over 4m in the bank. Current team is:

Schmeichel
Gibbs Wisdom Bertrand (Taylor) (Dummett)
Fab ADM Sterling Siggy (King)
Aguero Pelle Welbeck

Option 1

Get Costa back in for Welbeck

Option 2

Take a -4 and do Sterling and Taylor to Baines and Hazard

Option 3

Do nothing and see how the weekend pans out.

Option 1 and captain imo. Sterling>Sanchez would also be of interest to me in your position.

Ziegler1988 · 31-10-2014 6:45pm

I've done something similar to Option 2 (Siggy and Sterling out for Downing and Hazard, already own Baines) so I would vote for that haha. I think there's a fair argument Welbeck scores as many points as Costa this weekend, but Costa is a more reliable armband option if he starts compared to Hazard.

I tried that new Fantasy Fix transfer suggestion thing and it thinks Downing & Ivan in is my best transfer this week but bringing in Downing just seems so wrong!!

See I have a feeling Martinez sees Barkley as a more key player than most of the players you mention. He was always likely to be rested against Burnley as he'daalready started 2 games in a week playing around 160 mins since his return to the side. He looked hot against Villa and gave them another dimension compared to say Naismith.

My mate an Everton fan had barkley all last year. I remember telling him of the need to forget his football loyalties last year when picking his team. He said barkley was a great option so I remember looking up the stats I think from memory he only got over 6 pts once between Oct and Mar. I agree with Mr Prodston he is highly likely to be rotated in those advanced mid positions aswell.

Strongly considering an 8 point hit for Silva and Sterling to Hazard and Tadic. Somebody talk me into or out of it. Sanchez and Sigurdsson are my other 2 midfielders.

His stats are quite good; more shots and key passes per match than Siggy. West Ham are also entering into a nice run of fixtures so hopefully he kicks on. I mainly did it as a Hazard enabler but am optimistic being Siggyless won't come back to bite me.

iroced · 31-10-2014 7:27pm

Right. Here's my defense for this week:

Ivanovic (QPR h) - Wilson (WH h) - Clyne (Hul a) // Wisdom (Lei a) - Naylor (Eve a)

How do you rate getting Chambers in bearing in mind I only have £0.4m in bank)? Chambers has a great chance of a CS this week but after their run of fixtures is not particularly CS-friendly (Swa a, MU h, WBA a, Sou H, Sto a).

I feel my options are the following.

i. Selling Clyne is out of the question since he has at least one great chance of a CS at home to Leicester next week.
ii. Selling Ivanovic saving some useful cash. But having kept him to that point it would be silly to sell him ahead of a home clash vs QPR wouldn't it?

So it's between Wilson and Naylor.

1. Wilson has WH and Burnley in his next 2 home games.
2. While Naylor is facing a 3 games run of low probability CS (Eve a, Ars h, MC a -- even CP h is not a given with Palace scoring in most of their games, 7 times out of 9 games to be precise).

3. Bank my transfer, swallow Chambers probable CS and trust my current team.

manual_man · 31-10-2014 7:29pm

Sterling and Taylor to Baines and Hazard done

Cheers for the advice guys.

IsMiseMyself · 31-10-2014 7:33pm

Even though there seems to be an influx of Hazard and Sanchez transfers, I'm doing nothing and banking this week. Both Sterling and Siggy might be getting the chop next week.

3 I'm in a similar situation except I'll be selling PVA
was all set for chambers but looked beyond Burnley and did not like what i saw!
so I'm gonna bank and prob downgrade PVA to an even cheaper defender next week along with a few other things.....

dibs101 · 31-10-2014 7:40pm

Good point about hazard against newly promoted teams. I've taken the plunge and brought in hazard for fab. After seeing fellaini sit on fab last weekend I think a lot of teams may go for a similar approach. Go man to man on fab which will inevitably leave more space in the hole for hazard and will make it harder for teams to double up on hazard if the push up on fab. A gamble when you consider how good fab is but take into account the 4 yellows and I think hazard shades it...

Do you agree with my defense selection then

I'm debating putting Wisdom ahead of Clyne. On one hand, Hull have scored in 8 of their 9 games (just for their 0-0 at Anfield). On the other hand, Leicester have always scored at home (they did blank 4 times out of 5 away though, I know they play at home this time but it just shows they're not an attacking machine).
Actually Stoke have only 1 CS at home out of 4 games. And if they hadn't got this abnormal one in the Etihad Stadium it'd be their only one in 9 games. In addition WH scored in all their games bar the opening one.

Dempsey · 31-10-2014 7:58pm

Mannone, Forster

Hutton, Bertrand, Dawson, Van Aanholt, Duff

Sigurdsson, Di Maria, Fabregas, Chadli, Boyd

Pelle, Aguero, Costa

2 FT's & 0.9m in the bank

Thinking of Hutton to Dummett and banking the other, anyone see a better move(s)?

IsMiseMyself · 31-10-2014 8:07pm

My chances of cleansheets this week are low. :pac:

Leaning towards this move too, I like your reasoning :P

Nib · 31-10-2014 8:16pm

PvA out, Chambers in. Had to get him in as it may be my only hope of a CS. Lots of lads in my league have a Chelsea defender so hopefully Chambers can match or better them.

Defence for this GW now:

Guzan
Bertrand Baines Chambers

I benched Wisdom (LEI A) and I'm worried that's going to bit me in the arse.

SlickRic · 31-10-2014 8:46pm

Sterling becoming a differential this week.

keeping him for Newcastle, then likely out.

Same here, keeping him and hoping to be convinced to keep him again this weekend.

Banking transfer this week and praying for a low scoring Chelsea game.

eh i dunno · 31-10-2014 9:09pm

Bringing Lukaku in for Falcao and keeping my other ft.

honeybear · 31-10-2014 9:11pm

Silva to ?
Have Fabregas Siggy chadli El Ahmadi

Mr.Prodston · 31-10-2014 9:26pm

It's that time of the week again where I can't put off making my mind up on what to do any longer.

De Gea
Moore - PVA - Clyne
Siggy - Fabregas - ADM - Tadic
Costa - Aguero - Pelle

Colocinni, Marney, Bardsley on the bench.

1ft. 0.0 in the bank. The hell do I do? At least I'm not on WC or my head might explode :pac:

I feel like by not having Hazard though I'm missing an opportunity but 3 Chelsea attackers is very risky shenanigans even at home to QPR. Fabregas -> Ramsey for -4 seems like a sideward if not backward step but variety is the spice of life so they say. It also frees me up to get on board with my Cresswell fetish next week.

honeybear · 31-10-2014 9:29pm

I'm thinking silva to ramsey

menoscemo · 31-10-2014 9:46pm

I have a quandary.
I have 1 FT and 0.9 in the bank.

Forwards are Pelle, Aguero and Wellbeck. I really want to get Costa in but will have to downgrade a midfielder by 2.7million to do so (Have Sterling, Fabregas, ADM, Siggy (Tiote) in Midfield)

My Plan is to raise the money to do Wellbeck to Costa by selling Sterling for Downing, but Sterling is at Newcastle this week while Welbeck is at home to Burnley and this will cost me -4pts. Is it better to stand Pat and do the same move next week for no hit? Or will I be missing out on a potential bonanza from Costa.

Opinions please

tricky one, id personally hold off , you have aguero and pelle to even out the scales up top and have chelsea cover in cesc, getting rid of wlbz means you're left with no arsenal players.

I'm in a similar quandary. Exact same frontline as you. To get Costa in means the funds will have to be raised from midfield.

I think however that I'm going to stay put. Welbeck's got the potential to score big. Also, Sterling's got a handy enough fixture. The -4's will build up into a significant loss of points if they are happening regularly.

I'm tending towards thinking the same I was just in need of someone to say the same. Thanks Lads.

I am sitting in 3k overall and haven't taken any hits so far, plan on keeping it like that if possible. Plus you never know, plans can change at any time due to injuries, this keeps the options open....

Hold firm, I've the same front 3.
If Costa scores, you've got some cover in the form of Fab.

The minus 4 makes a big difference, I don't think Costa & Downing will outscore Welbeck & Sturridge by 4 points or more.

NN215 · 31-10-2014 10:48pm

who to start, guzan vs spurs or de gea vs man city ?

May just leave Costa out and opt for my "put money on someone you haven't got but are terrified will do well" to score two or more bets this weekend.

They are a source of mad income yo.

I'm a devil for that. Last week i had a Lucky 15 first goalscorer with Balotelli :rolleyes: Hazard :mad: Baines

and sanchez

.

Ended up nearly getting my money back, but if Hazard had lifted it over DDG, and Baines had gotten a goal instead of an assist, it would have been a pretty decent payout.

Big time. He'll be making it into my lucky 15 for this weekend

. Will probably do him, Welbeck, Lukaku and Baines again. Just in case.

unkymo · 31-10-2014 11:02pm

Gerrard and O'Shea out.
Ramsey and Chambers in.

Mr.Prodston · 31-10-2014 11:02pm

ADM -> Hazard is done.

So I'm among those who currently have Costa, Hazard and Fabregas in their team. I've also got Pelle and Tadic. I may still do Fab -> Ramsey for -4 though, rather undecided. I need to make up 0.4 to get in Cresswell soon though.

Tomorrow is going to be interesting :eek:

Markx · 31-10-2014 11:14pm

Really doing my nut on this all week. Want Hazard for captaincy material. Has to be ADM, Fabregas or Sterling(and a -4 for Alcaraz to raise the funds) out.

The initial plan before last weekend was ADM, but there be goals available against City. Then it was Fabregas because he can't keep his current pace up and has 4 yellows. All day today its being Sterling but now I'm imagining him running gleefully past Steven Taylor many many times. Now I'm back on Fabregas though it seems foolish to flog the top scoring mid.......

Hackers · 31-10-2014 11:25pm

Another here with Costa, fabregas and hazard. Sterling & Moreno out, Hazard and wisdom in. It was the first move that came into my head at the start of the gameweek so can have no regrets!

Cantona's Collars · 31-10-2014 11:33pm

Welbeck gets another chance in my team.Falcao being confirmed out forced me into it,was wanting to bank mine but need to make up points sharpish.

Eden Hazard. As simple as that.

We can't have everyone and he should outscore him over the next 3 weeks. I might look at Rooney going forward or going back to ADM

Nib wrote: »

Why?

I got rid for sanchez last week as I don't think adm will be the highest scoring mid in the game which his current price more or less indicates he should be.Im up an unexpected 14 pts from last week and have a much more favourable fixture this week. I plan to bring him back in possibly next week but don't see him as a leave in for the season player. I think sanchez hazard and fab will outscore him over the season. I do see Utd scoring a lot of goals this season so will have to make a decision between roo or adm for next week.

Gameweek 10 transfers
