Gameweek 28 Transfers

FrClintPower

My head is wrecked trying to figure out what to do. I've a strong front eight, which was handy last GW, but now I can't figure out who to bench - and it's looking like it might be Hazard :eek:.

Sanchez - Cazorla - Hazard - Sterling - Silva

Aguero - Giroud - Kane

Kane (c) and Aguero are set in stone, as are Silva and Cazorla.

I've two transfers and 0 in the bank, so I'm thinking of going Sanchez -> Eriksen and upgrading my defence which looks a little under the weather at the minute (actually might get in Kyle Walker for Jones there). So then Eriksen would obviously have to play.

That means one of Sterling, Hazard and Giroud missing out. Seems to me that Giroud away to QPR and Sterling at home to Burnley have to be in, which leaves Hazard on the bench. Madness.

Having said that, Sterling in particular could be rested which might see him come off the bench, as long as he doesn't make a cameo appearance.

I can't believe I've backed myself into a corner where Hazard might be on the bench.

If it was me, I'd stick Cazorla on the bench.

No. Not even for free! Its not just the -4 its the use of another transfer to take him back out again afterwards.

Needed someone to talk sense into me

I'm in a similar situation. With a midfield of Sanchez, Cazorla, Silva, Hazard and Eriksen, one of Sanchez or Cazorla will likely be benched. Probably Cazorla.

Getting the Eriksen fear now but refuse to take a -4 for him. Hope I can hold strong til half 7!

dahat

Foster

Terry Bellrin Bertrand

Eriksen Hazard Silva Ozil

Kane Aguero Sturridge..

The Terry/Dawson debate still going on in my head.

Copper_pipe

Will wait till team news but will more than likely go

Jones to rose
Defoe to Austin

For a -4

The fear! Hate it when it comes creeping in its even more prevalent in the run up to a DGW! Hold strong turn off the computer and go for a walk until after deadline!

LOL. I came on to post the exact same thing!!

I really am beginning to get the fear now. It's such a MEGA risk to go without him.
But coupled with not having Eriksen, I'm almost certainly going to captain Aguero.
And I'll probably sell Sanchez for Ozil.

If I do all those 3 things and come out on the wrong side it's end of season. There'll be no coming back from it.

Is it a stupid ridiculous risk?

Swiper the fox

Ok, to all the United fans on here(and anybody else who cares to give their two cents). What are the odds of DiMaria being left out tomorrow, surely Van Gaal will put him back in and count the second half on Saturday as a rest.
Was he that bad on Saturday, I only saw MOTD and he didn't feature much in the first half but was involved in a few moves that could have led to goals, he put in one superb cross which caused havoc. Januzaj seemed a lot more influential when he came on but DiMaria will need a confidence boost now and not be left to stew on the bench????

@PeoplesPerson_: LVG on Di Maria: "He can be the best player in the world in the next match, so I think everything is going well."

iroced

@ Swiper: I'm not a United fan and I haven't followed closely this affair. But LVG pretty much said ADM had no brain/needed to use it more. He's not really known for his diplomacy and generally sticks with his own ideas. I wouldn't be surprised if ADM was left out for a period until he proves LVG he deserves better treatment.

That said this is all pure conjecture from me from LVG past managerial history. ADM will have to change his playing for sure anyway. Now will he have done enough in training this week? I 'll give the ball to the United specialists here .

Arbitrary

Foster

Dawson Clyne Terry
(tempted to play Bruce ahead of Dawson in light of the news re:Johnson)

Hazard Silva Ozil Eriksen

Aguero Austin Kane

I took a hit to get ADM out of my team, I'll be happy with 5 points from Eriksen and no more ADM. I now have bags of cash banked to move for Studge too.

You know a lot of people have mentioned how you'll need to break up your team right after and take another points hit. Neither QPR or Spurs have what I'd call a very difficult fixture list (with the odd exception). I'm tempted to hang on to both of them for the next few GWs.

I opted against a Spurs defender in the end, they rarely keep a clean sheet and it was too much trouble to work Vertonghen or Lloris in to the team.

It's also worth noting, I've never had a double GW go according to plan. First time for everything I suppose.

QPR have cpl, EVE, wba, CHE far from easy run of games straight after. Spurs fixtures are nice for the three games after United definitely happier holding them than Austin. LEI, bur, AVL is probably a run where you would want a couple of Spurs players anyway its timing is quite nice really.

Yeah, QPR isn't fantastic but still, no points hit required. I'll be looking to ship Austin out ahead of Eriksen. Happy to play Austin v Palace and come away from the GW with no hits. I can slot Giroud back in temporarily until it's time to move for Studge around GW 32.

Then the question is, do I drop Kane and go with a forward line of Giroud Aguero Studge. :eek:

I'll leave that headache for another week.

Just three differences to my team:

I'd certainly prefer your line-up.

It's the Ozil / Sanchez conundrum I've been mulling over also

Foster
Terry -- Bellerin -- Alder
Eriksen Hazard Silva Ozil
Kane Aguero Sturridge

If I get rid of Terry & Ozil I can just afford PVA & Sanchez. I more than likely will

Transfers are very valuable now we only have 11 left so you don't want to go wasting one.

Funny you should be looking at going that way most of the Sanchez related posts the last few days have been about selling him for Ozil!

67% of the top 1000 still own him. I was set on taking him out on Sunday but I have changed my mind. Team looks stronger with him in it... I think.

I agree I have no intention of selling him I think he will come good. I wouldn't think 67% still own him now he's going to be falling tonight.

Ya those stats were up to this GW. If he has another poor showing against QPR it's possible he will drop further though

Without a doubt. I would imagine Sanchez>Eriksen has been a popular move this week so far fairly natural change to make. I'm sure people will be quick to jump back on if he picks up a haul soon!

Neoulous

Took a punt on Rose in for Jones. Had 2 FT so got a 4th FGWer.

In the coming weeks, Alder will replace Yoshida and I'll get a Chelsea def at some point (either for Rose or PvA if he doesn't get a permanent starting position back).

Benimar

Still haven't decided whether to drop Cazorla or Sanchez for Eriksen...

Thinking of going for

ADM > Dembele
Muniesa > Rose

Dembele was rested on Sunday and would help a longer term plan of bringing in Costa and most seem to be going for Eriksen.

There's a reason most are going for Eriksen - because he has 3 times more points than Dembele.

I bought Dembele too because I couldn't buy Eriksen with one transfer so I will just have to hope for the best now.

I have Wolly, Jones, Baird, PVA and Bellerin. I'm planning to go with Wolly, PVA and Bellerin so agree that PVA looks a better option than Jones.

Ye it's hutton or Dawson wba that's my biggest dilemma. Have to play Pva for his attacking play.

Western Pomise

Have a right conundrum on who to drop this week from defenders...just posted it up on Gameweek thread there if yere taking a wander over to that thread feel free to mess with my mind with yere thoughts!!:)

Over the long term but more recently Dembele has been in form

20pts in his last 4 games vs 14pts from Eriksen

Plus the fact that having been rested he might be more likely to play the full 180mins.

Unfortunately lack of funds mean that if I want Costa, I won't be able to afford Eriksen. Unless I considerably downgrade Sanchez next week.

To be honest having had ADM in for so long its not going to make much difference if Dembele doesn't perform!

SlickRic

i've gone for a bit of a punt for the laugh. it's a 5th mid, so it shouldn't have a huge detrimental impact if it goes wrong, but could be absolute gold if it comes off.

Puncheon on the bench.

Have 1 free transfer is it worth getting Danny rose in and starting him? Or would lads look at a QPR player?

Nerdlingr

Austin in for Giroud ...or Vertonghen in for Cresswell ?!??

Mr.Prodston

Made my transfers before the white heat of the 30 minutes before deadline arrive to mess with my mind.

Walcott -> Silva
Jones -> Vertonghen
Mane -> Matty Phillips

-4

Now to decide on captain....

Good shout on Vertonghen! I brought him in this week, as I'm expecting him to deal with the Carling Cup loss by banging in a hat-trick...in both his games! :pac:

I've gone for Rose but I have my WC to fix the team up easily later on. Spurs have three decent fixtures after the United game not the worst to bring in and keep for 5 GWs. Definitely wouldn't go for QPR players they're really just a one week thing fixtures are a bit iffy afterwards.

1 DGW from the community manager er sure ok gl with that. 5 for Jonty and 4 for Paul & Mark do you think there is a chance they missed that this was a DGW?

v3ttel

I've taken -4 for:

Defoe -> Austin,
Cazorla -> Eriksen

My main rival has Lloris in goal. Is it worth taking another -4 hit to do: N. Taylor -> Rose, to cover off the Spurs defense. I have a 50 point lead, including the -4 I've already taken.

Is it worth taking another -4, and sticking with a 46 point lead to kill differential? He's already nearly halved my 90 point lead, and regular finishes in the top 10k, so he knows what he is doing.

Pending no surprise team news I'll be following you on them transfers

Swiper the fox

I'm thinking now of chancing Verthongen for the dgw and switching him back to Chelsea defence for next week. Considered th other spurs defenders but if this plan works it will be a one or two week punt at most and should only cost me the -4 for this week.

That's the closest I've come to missing a deadline all year.
Completely forgot about it until 10 mins ago.

I went with Verthongen.
No hit this week. No Eriksen. Can't see it being worth it despite still having DiMaria.
I can see him getting involved against Newcastle.

waffleman

Happy with my team except for Downing. Just cant see him gettin points against chelsea. He's worth 6.6 to sell and ive only .3 in the bank

Im thinkin chadli but will he play?

Rega

Pantilimon or Adrian?
