GW 5 Transfer Thread.

If im going to get rid of henderson i should do it now before he loses further value, as theres no point leaving it till the end of the deadline as he'll almost be available to play by then. Actually i might aswell just keep him maybe, thoughts?

I have him since the start and am happy with his performance thus far. The City midfield is a minefield at the minute - nobody knows yet who is the best option to go with alongside Kolarov and Kun.

Yeah, just like the Arsenal and to a lesser degree Chelsea midfield dilemma.
I've got Silva and Sanchez atm.
Balancing midfield is what I'll look at long term.
I could even consider a 3-5-2 much more often this season.

stephenl15

I don't know whether to a swallow Kane and Hazard inevitable drops or bite the bullet and get Pedro. I just think Hazard could get a huge haul after I've sold

Who_8_Paul?

Well Depay is now gone past the sell by date. Pedro in.

Calvin

thinking Benteke/Diouf > Gomis/Wilson? Leaves me with about 2m in the bank that I can use to upgrade Mahrez to Payet if needed. Leaves my squad looking:
Myhill/McCarthy
Azpi/Kolarov/Gomez/Martin/STaylor
Silva/Sanchez/Ayew/Mahrez(Payet)/Wanyama
Aguero/Gomis/Wilson

Mahrez > Payet isnt definite. I could also use the money to upgrade Ayew to Pedro, but Ayew looking like good value atm and probably a rise soon.

Paully D

Depay -> Pedro
Darmian -> WBA defender, probably Evans.

Maybe a nice knee-jerk Hazard to Ayew after the international matches

Great minds think alike. I'm thinking it myself. Are either near a price change?

CSF

I'm gonna need to ship out Romero amnt I?

Mr.Prodston

I really think Ayew could be a season keeper based on what I've seen. Well you know what I mean I'm sure he'll tail off for periods.

He could have had 2 last week and looks to have assists as well as goals in his locker. Hopefully he'll get overlooked for a while to come

Ziegler1988

That's the first Swansea match I've watched in full. He was impressive, has a real eye for goal which I like from my mids. He probably should have scored against Sunderland as well. I think I'd prefer Ayew to Gomis although I wouldn't rule out a double up later for useless Kane

Lemlin wrote: »

Hazard at -20%, Ayew at 50%. Usually transfers slow down to a crawl during internationals so we'll see where they are tonight. I'm in no rush

CSF

Stepping away from the transfer seat until at least Wednesday after the dust has settled on the transfer window. Anything I do now could very easily be rendered foolish. Considering the 2-5-3 next week.

With clean sheets looking scarce (Man City the obvious exception) I'm seriously considering a 5 man playing mf with a 4.5M 3rd striker.
Swansea look good. Think they have a tough run of fixtures but that would not put me off. Ayew the obvious choice.
Would take some re-balancing of my squad.
I've plenty to mull over the next 2 weeks.

Had a quick look there and West Brom have a nice run of fixtures coming up. Might be worth a look at one of their defenders. The only 4.5m being Olsson, who also has most points of their defenders. But the only worrying thing is Evans coming in, who will he replace in the XI?

Maybe Morrison into my mf.
Yoshida Alderweireld and Kolarov got clean sheets this week.
Daniels and Muniesa on the bench.
Happy enough although Alderweireld (-93 on price change) > Haughton is an option
GP rotation is not worth the stress. Plan to get Krul and Darlow for Newcastle to pick up the extra 1M (as long as their prices are secure}
Will let the dust settle on the transfer window and return with a fresh pair of eyes.
4 GWs down and I have 200pts approx. with WC intact.
Delighted.

iamanengine

Cech, McCarthy and Dawson or
Cech, Schmeicel and Ward

Not sure if I want Palace or West Brom coverage.

Planning on banking this GW. Pedro is the only one who jumps out to me but I'll have to wait a GW or 2 on that move. I'll give Sanchez another GW and review then. Benteke would be my other main concern but I'll likely stick with him through the next 3 GW. Any injuries over the international break would force my hand obviously.

On the transfer window:
Ideally WBA sign Marshall, de Gea stays at United and Speroni returns to fitness and starts. This would put plenty teams in a spot of bother at the GK position.

That's deliciously cruel.
I've got Butland and Stekelenburg atm.
Long term plan is to go to Krul and Darlow for 1M saving and no rotation stress.

7 players playing away and I'm starting Ighalo against Swansea.
I'll most likely be banking though.

Looking at the low & of home wins over first 4 GWs should give you some heart.

He's unlikely to drop further.

Leaves 0.9 in the bank after 2 FTs
Thoughts?

The 2 your looking at could rise tonight.
Waiting for transfer window to close would be ideal.
Tough call.
Like Wilson's next few fixtures.
Chelsea have EVE and ARS next.
I've no Chelsea in my team atm but Pedro looks a good "cheap" option.

Time is on your side.
Johnny Evans is now a WB player. Sorry to add to your headache.
I'm gonna forget these threads now until the transfer widow closes.

Sanchez to Pedro done, have another transfer, may be Ighalo to Wilson or Targett to another Southampton defender

Yeah I'm considering doubling up a for Swans next game away to Watford then maybe moving Gomis on. Mad to be considering selling a striker with 4 goals in 4 games but thats down to Ayew* (Andre Ayew, not Busts)

May also do Wilson in for Diouf. Sideways move to some extent but one which frees up 1m and will bag me summa that sweet team value honey!

dahat

Gomis lack of bonus points is a big concern, much like Costa really.

He also has a habit of not seeing out 90mins or is it just last two games?

I still think Ayew is the one to go for there.

Haha good point.
Already have Ayew so can't see anyone else I really want. I should finally be able to bank a transfer this year.

Starting to arrive at that conclusion myself but team needs surgery (-8) or a -4 with two ft if I wait till Sanchez plays Stoke, which I will do

Sanchez to Ayew
Gomis to Benteke
Yaya to Silva ( undecided)

Gomis to Benteke can wait a week. I'd rather Gomis at watford than Benteke at United. I also wouldn't take out Sanchez ahead of a tie against Stoke. Yaya to Silva is a bit of a sideways move for now so i wouldn't waste a -4 on it

Chesty08

Ayew is definitely the one I would go for.

Start of the previous GW I wildcarded. Kept Gomis as I felt Two players from Swans was overkill for now & Gomis had more price rise potential at that time.

Would go for Ayew If I was in same situation now (kept Payet instead at that time)

Two free transfers made

Payet to Pedro
Mahrez to Sako

bezuaua

Getting really tired of tekkers! I’m from FC Porto and I know josé will come back swinging!
My original plan was getting pedro and cheap striker (Wilson… Sakho…). Currently thinking about Diego Costa + 6.0 midfielder (max)… really thinking about sako from palace (what a show against chealsea!)

Current team:
Romero (McCarthy)
Kolarov | Bellerìn | (Gomez | Targett| Oxford)
Sánchez | YaYa | Depay | Mahrez (Westwood)
Aguero | Benteke | Gomis

Sako + Costa would leave me 0.7 to sort out my defense!

Any thoughts?

alchemist33

Will probably use my triple captain next week.



I could desperately do with those six points!

2FT banked...

I've already done it. Couldn't be bothered waiting - and I'm very aware of the risks.

Can take a nice break away from thinking about the game now.

Have 4.5 mil or something crazy banked. Could afford Costa in the future but don't think it's worth the heartache unless he is playing out of his skin.

I love those breaks from thinking about the game. Always a pleasant 5 mins

I'm always on here but rarely check my own team. It's picked for the next GW now and I won't look at it again until the night before deadline.

FHFC

I think I'll do Diouf to Wilson tonight motivated by the prices. Hopefully Ayew doesn't rise tonight then transfers slow way down.

Torn between him and Pedro in for Depoo.

T-b0n3

Need to decide weather to Wilcard or not.

At the moment I have:



Would probably take a hit if I didnt wildcard. Not sure if this will be the best week for it or not. On the fence.

What's your thoughts?

Very much so. I'm tempted to make mine early for potential 0.4 or 0.5 value but its very much a risk.

FHFC wrote: »

I'm probably going to do Depay to Sinclair before the internationals so as to not absorb that drop. Sinclair won't be playing internationals (although he should be ) so that is some risk lessened, and if he picks up something and I have to bench him, this will not exactly lead me to tears.

I may decide to make a 2nd transfer with all that money I'm freeing up, or I may make another transfer next week with it. I'll weigh up that after the internationals when all is much clearer.

Is Sinclair going to be your 4th mid? He tempting but i don't see where to put him!

I'm looking at a midfield of Sanchez, Yaya, Ayew, Mahrez and Westwood for next week. I'd have 4.6 in the bank if i go for Wilson too so can go for whatever mid or forward i want for gw6.

shineon23

is it too late to jump on the Wilson bandwagon?

only swapped out Gomis for Defoe last week to use funds elsewhere,

would it be mad to get Wilson in for Defoe before the imminent price rise, as I don't want to be having to fork out for Wilson if he rises towards 6.0.

I don't really have any other pressing transfers to do.

I don't have a 4.5 midfieler. I'm going with Sanchez, Ayew, Mahrez, Payet (who I'm considering upgrading to Pedro/Silva/De Bruyne with the proceeds) and now Sinclair.

I have Aguero, Wilson and Sakho (who will eventually become Benteke) so I think I'm well enough covered in attacking areas to play 6 or 7 each week depending on fixtures.

Do you still think Benteke is worth it for gw6&7. I'm considering giving him a miss.

Gonna go with it I think. I see him scoring well and I'm going to let the fact that he hasn't got it going yet slide. I could make a case for Gomis with 4 out of 4 and normally it'd be a very strong case, but I don't want both Ayew and Gomis and regardless of Ayew having outscored Gomis in points so far, I've grown rather emotionally attached to Ayew. Season keeper.
