Heres a question. Kane seems to be completely switched off, I have a strong urge to get rid of him. Hull will be fighting for their survival literally at WHL.

Defoe seems an obvious option however I'm not so sure about Sunderland fowards, in terms of their ability to score goals, their form and their fixtures.

So if I want to get rid of Kane for the last two gameweeks who would you go for? I have a budget of up to £10m.

Only restrictions are that I am Arensal-ed out so no Giroud, and I have and will be keeping Aguero and Benteke.

Go for it!

Lukaku, Ayoze/Cisse, and Austin are ones that come to mind if you aren't interested in another Leicester attacker

Also good. A lot of negatives getting a player with nothing to play for, but it does appear nobody will have anything to play for GW38.

What about Rooney? Am very tempted by Mata for GW38 though with United always capable of goals and a (potentially) demoralised recently relegated Hull.

Rooney does like to score against both Arsenal and Hull but I don't know. He won't be on penalties anyway and if Hull are still alive in GW38 it's risky. Probably a better bet than Diouf.

I'm in the exact same boat as you but with only £8.3m. If I was a braver man/had a bigger lead than 9 points, then I'd take a punt on Cisse. Newcastle may be rubbish but he's scored 11 goals this season despite missing loads of it through injury & suspension. QPR away & West Ham at home are decent fixtures as neither team has anything to play for & West Ham look to have been on holidays for a while now.

I'm not too keen on a Sunderland striker but would probably be a safer option with the extra game.

Definitely B for me.

It doesn't have to be a Sunderland player you bring in though, does it? It could be someone you think will do well on the final GW.

Anyone up to 5.3 not much for that sort of money!

I'd wait a week and make 2 on the last week.

Perez from Newcastle? 4.3m, and has 2 goals in last 3.

Copper_pipe

Willing to take point hits this week to have me set for GW38. 1FT and 1.0m in the bank.

GLaDOS

What Arsenal defender would be most likely to play the remaining 3 fixtures? Money isn't an issue, so leaning towards Mertesacker.

Larsson has 50% more games to score points from though! I'm a sucker for a DGW!

My season is imploding. Need to get rid of Rooney (dont ask)...but not tempted to take a 4 to get Aguero in. Plenty of thinking to do...and am not very motivated to do that thinking!

Do you have Giroud? If not that'd be the quickest/safest/no-thinking-est transfer to make .

As Ziegler said, Hull will have to go forward so this should open space for Kane. And who knows... 2 early goals and his confidence is back up and Hull's one goes six feet under and he could run riot to try and catch Agüero for golden boot (yah I like fantasies ).

More seriously, considering that I'd follow Busts advice

I was planning to. But I have a bit of Kane rage after that inept mess that was Spurs at the weekend.

I think with Mata on pens now I will almost certainly want him in, I may even get him for Bolasie this week and play 352!

But yeah, some good sense from yourself and Iroced. Surest thing when I do get shot of Kane is he'll score a brace.

Ziegler1988

Personally, I would only switch Kane this GW to Giroud or Aguero for free. I can't believe I might let Kane punish me again, but it's damned if you do damned if you don't with both him and Giroud likely to be >60% ownership top 10k

Just let me know what you do then, so I can do the opposite!

Also trying to decide what to do with Kane.

Hackers

Looks like my only option this week is to bring in Giroud. I have Sanchez and Ozil already and there are way too many of ye around me in various mini leagues with Giroud already so will have to do a blocking transfer!

Mr.Prodston

If Giroud were to go wild tonight then I may have to consider getting him. Emphasis on consider...

harpstilidie

Surely Kane is worth keeping for this GW at least? At home to Hull and there isn't a whole load of other options out there.

I'd go for Koscielny.

On paper it's a no brainer. His recent form (and Spurs one in general lately) is worrying. But not sure a 4 pts hit (unless it's your only transfer area for the DGW) would be wise here (unless it's for Giroud and we know Welbeck won't feature) since the last GW could see some big rotations and thus your 4 pts hit may not feature in the last game.

He's had trouble with injury this season so I'd be worried he'd be given one of the games off.

spock.

Vardy --> Defoe done

Vardy did really well for me so I'll be sad to see him go but you can't say no to a dgw player.

jive

Was thinking Kane to Defoe but not sure now.

Now I'm thinking Cambiasso to Larsson or Gomez. That means i would have to drop hazard or Henderson given my other midfielders are arsenal.

Someone show me the light; seems like hazard is going to be rested anyway but very risky move to bench him. Henderson has a kind fixture, can actually see him picking up points there

patmac

Done Alder to PVA is it worth Defoe to Vardy/Kane for the DGW

AdMMM

Starting to get itchy feet now.

Thinking of Sterling -> Larsson.

Liverpool's season looks to have completely fizzled out. I wanted to have faith in Sterling, but they just haven't been able to make it work without Sturridge!

FutureGuy

Have 3 SUN and 2 ARS for the double. Not sure whether to get a third attacking player or a defender.

Roonbox

I've got three Arsenal players and 1 Sunderland. The big question is do I take a -4 for a second Sunderland player? I've just taken the lead in my leagues for the first time in months so I'm treading carefully. Its a tiny lead too.

The Double Gameweeks have been good to me this year though so I am tempted to do the -4

CSF

I've 2 Arsenal and Sunderland but I'm considering banking it because I'm just not sure which Arsenal players are gonna play all the last 3 games.

Just looking at his game time, hope Clichy doesn't come back in for him.

he's on fire at the moment. i reckon he's safe... honestly i missed a trick by not making this transfer last week!

qwabercd

Tough decisions to make this week all round it seems. Had initially planned on brining in giroud but that's out the window now. Have 2 FT 0.9m itb and a front 8 of:

Fab Haz Sanchez Sterling Silva

Aguero Kane Vardy

Now leaning towards vardy and fabregas out for defoe and ramsey/ozil. Would have gotten rid of Sterling but for the rotation issues at chelsea (fab not likely to score big anyway). Sterling has palace at home so if I make those transfers I'd actually bench Hazard who could be rested.

PARlance

Green to Panti looking like my only one.

Still have my SOU duo at the back who I would love to get rid off but my rivals (I'm slightly ahead) also have 2 so there's no point me taking a hit to get rid.

Panti
Terry Clyne Berty (Hutton Baird)
Silva Sanchez Ramsey Coutinho
(Cambiasso)
Giroud Aguero Kane

Tempted to ship Kane but guy in second has him and he'll be more than likely making moves elsewhere.

Will prob take a hit to get Hazard back for final GW if I maintain my lead.

sheroman01

I'm actually tempted to bring Ramsey in for Silva and J.Gomes in for Hendo. City have Swansea away and Southampton at home, both teams good at the back so can't see too many goals.

That is a brave move after Silvas 16 points and the fact that Southampton have conceded 2 goals a game against Stoke, Everton, Sunderland & Leicester.

extra gravy

My rival has double Arsenal defence and would need to take a -4 to get a second attacker in so I will wait until the last minute to see what he does. If he sticks with the double defence, I'll feel the need to get a defender in, if not I may go with Ramsey as my third Arsenal player.

Lemlin

The missus has a 33 point lead and has Ospina, Ozil and Sanchez as her Arsenal players. Her rival has Ospina, Sanchez and Giroud.

Thinking about a 4 point hit to take out Ozil and bring in Giroud as a blocker. What do people think?

My own opinion is that Giroud may not start both games. He was rested for a midweek game earlier in the season and Sanchez/Walcott/Wellbeck (what's the story with him at the minute?) can all play up top.

But then he's the one player her rival has that could really hit her lead.

As for your missus, depends how much she wants to win her league. The blocker Giroud move could seal it for her but may not be the best move for best overall finish. It will depends a lot on whether Welbeck is 100% fit or not. He's not now. We should have updates about it during the week .

All that matters to her is the prize and this league. €500 in vouchers for the winner, only €250 for the runner up. That's a big difference in shopping bags!

I'd have a strong feeling Walcott will start up front for one of the dgw matches at the expense of Giroud. Almost afraid to say that in the earshot of a certain free spirited punt fancier of this parish though.

I'm happy with my Arsenal three of Ramsey, Sanchez and Kos.

Thought Ramsey was the best of the bad bunch last night until he dropped back after Coq went off. Even then he had a chance or two.

Arsenals final ball was awful last night. How many crosses were straight at Fabianski!? And their corners were brutal. Hardly one that beat the first defender.

Theo, Theo Walcott. Theo, Theo Walcott Let's do this people!

OneColdHand

As it stands, apart from Sanchez, who is the most desirable Arsenal mid for the DGW?

Also, are people getting rid of Hazard? Without a hit, I can only get an Arsenal mid by dumping one of Silva or Hazard. Based on Jose's comments, I'm thinking of Ramsey/Caz/Ozil in for Hazard.

It's a tough one. I'm in the same boat - either Silva or Hazard would have to make way for another Arsenal mid, and it's hard to part with either of them. I think I'll be waiting until later in the week to hear if Mourinho has anything else to say.

Having watched the match last night I'd be going for Ramsey of any of them, Caz and Ozil were both involved but Ramsey definitely looked the most likely to score.

Chesty08

Tempted to take a hit to get DGW Gomez in!

Henderson or Hazard for the chopping block?

Though Caz was very poor last night. Would swap him and Ozil there. But Ramsey definately ahead of either.

km79

Right I still have no clue what I'll do
Options in my mind are
1. Ivan to pVA and Henderson to Ramsey -4
2. Henderson to Gomez
3. Henderson to Gomez and mata to Ramsey -4
4. Mata to cazorla
5. Alderweireld or smalling to pVA
I'm also tempted to do nothing
I already have bellerin and Sanchez and am leaning more and more to number 5
Mata and Henderson have decent fixtures left and even though Ivan has been stink I think he will get a big haul last game and may get clean sheet this week too
Aaaaaaggggggghhhhh

At least Cazorla took shots (7 of them) and is on pens. I don't think Ozil had one shot or more than 5 touches in the box

Mr.Prodston

I'd better not let Walcott turn into a Kramaric situation and let it escalate seeing as nobody is even entertaining the idea.

I can see him starting next Wednesday. I'm a conservative player so wouldn't go for it myself though.

I certainly don't think Giroud will start three games in a week ahead of the cup final. I also don't think Ramsey will.
