GW 38 transfers

the incredible pudding

Right. Pretty much down to:

1. Silva and Lukaku. Bench Bolasie or Haz.
2. Yaya and Lukaku. Sell Haz (need to to afford it) and bench Bolasie or Ramsey.
3. Mirallas and Costa. Bench Bolasie or Haz.

Between 1 and 2 the difference is whether there is any news on Haz, be reluctant to sell if there is news that he might play. Also, silva is the safe option given his higher ownership, Yaya is the differential and potential gain, but not owning Silva could backfire.

I'd definitely go for Silva over Yaya, Yaya is always capable but I reckon statistically Silva is always the better ff player unless aguero is out and thus yaya is on penalities. He is the safer option, if you've incentive to go for Yaya beyond those percentages though i'd say there isn't that much in it.

I'd find getting Silva and Costa interesting myself but maybe that's beyond your price range.

I also don't see how anyone could take serious hits on this week unless they'd absolutely nothing to lose.

Silva and Costa I can do if I sell Haz.

But i kinda want a piece of Everton as Spurs have been dreadful at the back. Good shout though.

Oi Oi. Time to make my transfers

Ended up taking a 4 point hit with Benteke (c) and puncheon in for defoe and sterling. Ozil benched but could come in if either hazard or sanchez don't play. Have a strong team on paper this week, all 11 at home - cue a sh1t score!

I'd go 1. in your position. The only pb is what to do if no news about Hazard. If news you can choose to play him or Bolasie.


I'm getting real lost personally after a week of tinkering... I'd hate to lose my hardly fought top10k position but am afraid it's now only down to luck.

1. Kane to Ulloa/Pérez/N'Doye (Ulloa strong favourite now). Play Hazard or Cambiasso. Play both ramsey & Sanchez. Agueor, Silva & Benteke for the rest of my strikeforce. No hits.
2. Cambiasso to Young. Bench Hazard or Kane depending on news regarding the former.
3. Hazard + Kane to Puncheon + Lukaku. Bench Cambiasso. 4 pts hit.
4. Hazard + Kane to Yaya + Ulloa. Bench Cambiasso. 4 pts hit.

I feel 3 & 4 give me a stronger squad, particularly if Rambo or Sanchez are rested. Pb is they'll prob get a cameo...
Prob with 3 is Lukaku did burn me (like many here) in the past.
Prob with 4. City overkill.
Prob with 2. United have nothing at stake and are away to a team fighting for its survival. Hull are unpredictable though. 2 CS wins in DGW34. Then 2 home defeats including Burnley and nothing in WHL to a disinterested Spurs side.
Prob with 1. If Hazard misses out, Cambiasso is not a great replacement (DGW mistake).

On 1, I'd not fear Cambiasso as sub, he still takes some set pieces, and if this game does go high scoring and QPR capitulate any Leicester player could end up with a decent score. Ulloa of the three fwds. The thing I'd like least about 1 is playing both the Arsenal mids when they can't buy a goal lately.

2. No.

3 & 4 do strengthen the team, but, unless leading and wanting to block, hits hard to justify this week. I'd go 3 over 4 btw, Lukaku is in good form, Spurs woeful defensively.

Tempted by him myself. With Lennon being ineligible, he should start. Also looking at Charlie Adam now...really can't decide.

Cheers for your review. Will leave it here for now. And tomorrow morning, hopefully a good night sleep and some info will help me choose between 1. & 3.

My only aim is to make a top10k finish. Have currently a 2 pts caution on it. So a 4pts hit is risky. But as you said, based on their late form, 2 Arsenal mids + Hazard could also be pretty risky to achieve my aim.

Mr.Prodston

I want Mirallas, Yaya and a forward. I need to shift 2 of Sanchez, Ozil and Henderbus. N'Doye being the forward I want gone although one of probably 3 forwards with anything to play for. Hmmm.

MarkSRFC21

My team atm is:

Krul(panti)
Azpi Bellerin Morgan ( pva + Clyne)
Silva Sanchez fellaini Ramsey
Defoe Aguero(c) benteke

Have 2.2m in the bank. Have used up my FT. I'm 7 pts behind in my ML. Is there any transfers that justify a hit?

I'd stick with that like up. With a -4, you are only extending your opponent's lead. 7 points is nothing on a day like today.

Shane732

Anything further on Hazard?

mccard

Really torn on what to do. Any advice hugely appreciated!

Chasing a 30 point gap so risks needed.

Going to make two changes (-4). One mid and one forward.

Current lineup is

---

Sanchez Gerrard Ramsey Silva

Giroud Aguero Kane

---

Looking to offload Sanchez and Giroud, but not sure who to.

Option 1: I can afford Yaya and Lakaku but only fear is that rival will take similar route.

Option 2: Gamble needed so thinking Bolasie and Ulloa instead.

So option 1 or 2?

And who out of the four is the better captain?

Keep the 4 pts and do giroud to Lukaku or Benteke and captain them.

Young for me. Mirallas hasn't featured for a while.

What's the story with Davis for Southampton? Will he play? Have panti as my other goalie and he's out

Ospina and Panti my two keepers..... will ospina play or should i -4 to get someone else in?

Anyone bringing in Costa?

Would it be worth it even if he didn't play?

Inspector Coptoor

I tried to bring Yaya in there and he as just gone up by 0.1 so not enough money.
Was gonna bring him in for Cazorla.

Madness to bring him in for Sanchez?

Having second thoughts about him now. LVG may not risk him.

He still might play but I can't risk it with so many other doubts in my team.

Tipsy McSwagger

Dont know whether to captain Benteke, Aguero or Ulloa, i'm chasing a 34pt lead.

remoteboy

Fighting for 3rd in my money league. Currently 2 points clear. Have made one transfer already Hazard -> Silva. Here's how I'm lining up -

Mig
Schlupp PVA Ivanovic Bellerin
Puncheon Silva Sanchez Ramsey
Benteke Aguero (c)

Hendo C Dawson and Defoe on bench

1.4m in bank.

Opponent's team last week ->

Panti
Skrtel Bellerin Terry
Sanchez Silva Sterling Larsson
Benteke Giroud Graham

Bench: Elliot / Haz / Wolly / McShane

Given how close we are on points this is pretty much a H2H fixture and my brain tells me to stick with what I have. No point giving him a 4 point start. My heart is saying Defoe to Ulloa and drop PVA or Ramsey.

What do you reckon I should do?

I would be looking at switching Defoe for Cisse or Ulloa,
you've decisions to make re your bench also, I'd play Kane and bench Henderson,

Chasing the exact same score, captain someone you know for sure your opponent won't have.

Charlie Adam it is then...

Tony_Montana

anyone else waiting until 11.29 for some miraculous news that hazard has the all clear :cool:

iroced

So we won't have late news re Hazard...

1. Kane -> Ulloa. Play Hazard with Cambiasso on the bench if he doesn't come in.

2. Hazard -> Puncheon/Bolasie & Kane -> Lukaku for a 4 pts hit. Bench Cambiasso.


Not sure about the 4 pts hit. Think I'm gonna do 1 and back Leicester again. I'm more and more leaning towards playing Cambiasso and benching Hazard...

I ditched him last night. Regardless of fitness he's been pretty quiet lately - one goal and no assists in his last five matches. Maybe that just means he's due one.

Brought in yaya for him last night before both changed in price (and after a lot of drinks) so I hope Hazard isn't playing!

Play Carzola or phillips guys?

I think 1 given your objective to hold your rank rather than being chasing.

I've decided to sell Hazard. Silva in.

So. Costa or Lukaku for the last position?? Have exactly the money for Costa after last nights rises.

You have to back the big money signing there, Leicesters defensive record of late is not encouraging for Phillips.

Dropped him last night as well. Brought in a cheap midfeilder so I could bring in Aguero.

thewools

Chasing down a 22 point lead in my Private League...

So gambled on keeping Hazard and brought in Costa and Albrighton for Ozil and Austin for -4.

Costa Captain and hopefully Hazard does start and both run a muck as the league leader ditched him a few weeks ago...

I am assuming that Sunderland were on the booze all week ?

Swiper the fox

I've made two transfers for a 4 point hit, can't know whether it's right or not but when I weighed it up I decided to go for it, need a few points above the top 1k average to join that group again.
Ulloa and Silva in for Hazard and Defoe.
Praying now for a Hazard cameo to milk the applause.
It was too risky not having Silva as anything from him will screw me over big time.

The Sparrow

1 point ahead my mate in our 2 man league. I would really, really like to beat him!!

This is his probable team:

Myhill
Morgan(LEI) Fonte Bertrand
Cazorla Eriksen Sanchez Phillips(QPR)
Benteke Kane Aguero(C)

Subs Given Dawson(WBA) Fabregas Zouma

This is my current team

Mignolet
Terry Bertrand Alderweireld
Mata Sanchez Gerard Johnson(SUN)
Giroud Benteke Aguero (C)

Subs: Gilks Boyd(BUR) Duff(BUR) McShane

I have one sub. I'm pretty sure he has subbed out Giroud who he brought in for the DGW for Benteke as a blocker against me.

I'm thinking I might return the favour and sub in Mattie Phillips because QPR could score some goals today against a Leicester side that is safe. QPR are down but I reckon players like Phillips will want to put themselves in the shop window.

The question is who to sub out, Gerard or Johnson. I'm thinking Johnson as Sunderland will have been celebrating since Monday and Chelsea will want to win today.

Or I could go Giroud to Lukaku. Any thoughts in the next 15 mins would be very much appreciated.

I think he might have brought in aguero so i'll go for Benteke. Is there anyway to check what players your rival has brought in or do you have to wait until after the deadline to see?
