Is it really "the" GW to get Bony in? That'd be for Martial. Manchester derby. I feel I'm already too late to the party... It's bad news that he's going up tonight but with CL midweek can't really chance it now.

I had planned to do this transfer last night but then forgot to. Will wait until later in the week but I think I'll be banking my rises on Martial and shipping him.

Still very annoyed I went Pelle over Costa/Bony this week. Whoever I brought in I was captaining so it's quite a big points loss.

This. Worse than just picking the wrong captain as not having Bony/Costa at all meant up to a 30 point swing.

No point doing anything before CL now really though.

Chesty08

Just done Gomez to Bellerin!

Really should of done it last week!

km79

Either a defensive transfer or none at all
Will see how the week goes injury wise
Be nice to have 2 the following weeks with aguero to come back

It's supposed to be only a minor injury.

He's made out of Lego,the slightest knock and he's broken.

I might bank my transfer as nobody stands out that I must have.

Martial to either Bony or Vardy I'd say. Vardy is killing me each week. I'd love to keep Martial but not sure if my Man Utd supporting heart is telling me to hold rather than my FPL mind.

I'm thinking about Bony too. I missed my chance to transfer yday so I still have Kolorov, Ageuro and Targett

Any advice about whether to take a -8 hit and should I wait until the CL games are over?

Aenaes

I think I need to get rid of Kolarov this week. I already have Evans, Bellerin, Smalling and Zouma.

I'm looking at cheap options, Haangeland looks nice at 4.3. Is he likely to keep his place?

Dubliner28

Lukaku to Vardy
Ayew to Sanchez

Will give me KDB and Alexis until Kun returns.

Not feeling love for another big name strikers so hoping Vardy and Pelle with KDB Sanchez Payet and Marhez will do the trick

GW need to offload Kolorov

2nd Row Donkey

Aguero to Vardy
And
Pedro to Sanchez done.

Kolorov will have to sit on the bench for another week.

I also have Sinclair and Gomis to move on.

Nasty looking GW ahead for my squad but would like to stick re. transfers
I'm hoping you scored more than NZ did today.
I better stop now.
Top 300 in the world has me a bit hyper.

Team is pretty set alright.

Only WC mistake was getting rid of Bellerin (for Azpi). Regret now not having been reactive enough and jumped back on him using Kolarov injury as an excuse for readjustment.

Martial to sort maybe now. I think Pellè deserves I give him more GWs. He had one blank. OK. Costa had countless ones before Villa. Bony was useless for City for 10 months before yesterday.


Oh and think I'm gonna outscore NZ by 1 pt this GW. Bloody losers these kiwis :pac:!

Arbitrary

Hoolahan out, Wijnaldum in. Assuming everything gets through the CL games unscathed I'll transfer Targett out for -4 for another defender.

GW 11, I'm seriously considering Pelle to Vardy, or Martial to Vardy. Both have decent fixtures which makes me hesitant to pull the trigger on it.

dahat

Martial to Vardy done, it will be a Leicester double up but Mahrez remains on the sell watchlist due to the ways of The Tinkerman.

I'd like to Head towards 433 with Bony on board but that's a decision for next gameweek as it will be a -4 transfer move.

FHFC

I may give Wijnaldum a whirl. I was looking at him, Eriksen or possibly Willian last night and he's sent a bit of a come and get me plea today!!

Contemplating him and Costa in for Hazard and Sahko. Kane tempting somewhat too for 2 great fixtures. Looking at either gw11 or 12 for aoa.

Any thoughts on those moves to leave me with..

Myhill
Naughton, Souare, Martin, Gomez, Bellerin
Mahrez, Mané, Sanchez, KdB, Wijnaldum
Costa/Kane, Pelle (never c again), Vardinho

Havent seen most of motd and no live matches this weekend.

Did Chelsea look in anyway convincing as to having turned a corner?

How did Spurs/Kane play?

I'd forget about the price rises falls for the week and see what develops over the week with all the European games and make your decision on friday. Hazard could play Tues and score and be back in contention. Costa could get injured. See what happens with Walcott in midweek he has now stated the last 6 league games. Arsenal are scoring a lot more goals with him in the team and his pace is stretching teams and giving Sanchez more space. Maybe Wenger now sees him as his number 1 striker.

Martial could have had a goal and assist yesterday. I'm thinking of holding him for another week.

United home to City could be high scoring.

Yeah, cheers, I was definitely not doing anything before the CL. And I was thinking that may not be out of the question re Hazard. Last time Jose dropped him 2 years ago he came back strong afterwards.

I'm still not sure how essential Costa is either. Yet to see any of the game or read any independent reports.

I don't plan on holding Costa too long. I just liked his 2 fixtures villa and west ham.Over the likes of Pelle lukaku etc. I could do Costa to mitrovic before Newcastle's next home game. I need to free up money to get in mane that week as well. I'm hoping to hold this week I'll take kolorav price drops and do 2 next week and hopefully kolorav is back for Norwich at home.

Didnt get round to watching motd but I read he played out left with rooney through the middle. Herrera was supposed to have had a good game so he will probably play off the front man again next week.

He did, this was why I've gotten rid. I've no time for reverse OOP players.

I can smell a wildcard a coming.

iroced

I may get Bellerin tonight (for Kolarov). I shouldn't have holden on Kolarov last GW. The -4 sounded pointless but it'd have better set up my team. It was the best week to take it too with everyone taking big hits.

I can't afford Bellerin to rise too much now.

I'm in the same boat, figured I could play Martin and get at least two points from him rather than take the -4 to get rid of Kolarov. Expensive decision that

Kane is still snatching at chances... trying to pile drive shots that he would have placed in the back of the net this time last year and more worryingly he is getting greedy ... at least twice he could have passed to better options (and got assist points) but shot himself.

Colking

Does anyone think Herrera is worth a punt ?

A cheap way into Utd's great upcoming run of games.Or do you think he's still too much of a rotation risk ? LVG for some reason doesn't seem to rate him too highly.

I would have at least half a dozen others ahead of him in that <7m price bracket. If you really feel you must have a United mid he is probably the one to go for given his price.

In my opinion a minimum of 1 attacking Utd player for 11-18 is a must.

I would have said Martial before seeing him get pushed out wide, not so sure about him now.

Ideally I'd go for Mata but he's a little expensive at 8.9

Paully D

I'm actually getting extremely tempted to go Mata -> Payet now presuming nothing pressing comes up during the week as I have a transfer going spare after taking my hits last week.

The reason I made the switch from Pedro -> Mata last week was mainly because of United's fixtures from GW12 onwards but I can admit I've made a big mistake in rarely even considering Payet so far this season for some reason and I inexplicably did the same when making the aforementioned switch.

West Ham's fixtures are hardly poor either - CHE, wat, EVE, tot, WBA, mun, STO, swa, avl, SOT.

The itch will probably go and I'll stick with Mata for a few games of his good run which I made plans for and re-assess, but I suppose it's an easy switch at any stage due to their respective prices.

I think west ham have awful fixtures the next 10 all teams that are fairly solid defensively apart from Villa, stoke(maybe) and chelsea who I think will sort out their issues. Watford and Swansea are very well organised at home.

Those fixtures do look good but so do Arsenals & Citys for me Mata would only be after making sure I have Sanchez then one of Ozil/Theo & one of Yaya/Sterling and even then I would probably prefer to have Mane given Southamptons fixtures around then too. Hopefully Martial can find some form right now looks easier to fit him in the front three than the midfield!

FF Scout rank them right down at the bottom too in terms of attacking potential in that period, while they've got United top 10. I'll hold and re-assess in a few weeks. If Payet hadn't got that 90th minute goal while Palace were all out attack due to being 2-1 down then I probably wouldn't be thinking much of it to be honest.

I wouldn't be mad on West Ham fixtures good few tricky games in the next couple of months but Payet is superb he is well able to pick up points against anyone. I'm pretty sure I am going to WC today and plan on going Sanchez, Ozil, City mid, Mane given their fixtures they should all rack up decent scores between now and New Year and if Chelsea get back to their old selfs then not sure how to fit in one or two of them for their run from 13 to 18 hopefully they keep on playing like they are so it doesn't become an issue!

Ideally (at this point of the season) I'd like KDB, SAN, PAYET, MATA, MANE in a v strong midfield. Problem is that I tend to play 3-4-3 so who do you leave out? The benefits of a strong front 8 have been well documented though.

If I were you Paully I'd hold on Mata but definitely look at squeezing Payet in somehow. I let stubbornness keep him out of my side until 2 games ago and he looks like a serious contender for keeping season long.

As Jimmi says Payet is good for points against anyone.

Until tinkerman started messing with Mahrez I was v happy with him (had him since GW2) I'm now looking at Wijnaldum, Herrera, Barkley as possible replacements for him.

Some of the Leicester fans think he's nailed on from here on out after the experiment didn't work so well but I just have awful memories of Ranieri and his rotation policy

Decisions Decisions.

Wombatman

Hazard -> Willian.
Money fight!!!

Calvin

Thinking Martial > Berahino? Anyone else thinking of him? Decent points scorer so far, fixtures aren't bad either. Don't think I'll jump on the Newcastle bandwagon yet. Also, depending on tonight, Ayew>Payet?

Will leave me with:
Myhill/McCarthy
Bellerin/Bertrand/Martin/Souare/STaylor
KDB/Sanchez/Mahrez/Payet/Wanyama
Pelle/Berahino/Vardy

The amount of midfield options right now is ridiculous its impossible to fit them all in alright! That midfield 5 would be super sick to have and given the value options we have upfront you could probably do it until Aguero comes back at least. A front 3 of Vardy, Ighalo, Lukaku and a budget defence and you could well stretch to that 5 and then have Ighalo as your go to bench option. Like pretty much everyone I tended to use 3-4-3 as well but definitely don't let formation dictate your squad selection let your squad selection dictate your formation.

Ziegler1988

I'm not a ManU fan, but it doesn't seem like LVG appreciates Mata as much as he should. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mata get a rest or two during the good run of fixtures. I'm very happy to have picked Payet up on my WC three GWs ago. He gets limited chances, but makes the most of them and West Ham are the second highest scoring team in the league

Lemlin

My team for next weekend:

Myhill
Bertrand Souare Bellerin
Payet Mahrez Sanchez De Bruyne
Martial Vardy Pelle

Hennessy, Kolarov, Wanyama, Nyom

5.1 million banked.

Martial out is my potential transfer but then Bony has United away and Costa has West Ham away followed by Liverpool home. Those were my two replacements. Bony does have Norwich home on 31st October though and that could be a bloodbath.

As I said in the GW thread, Martial may have played out wide but he could have had a goal and assist. I am therefore thinking about holding him and banking.

Opinions?

think I'll bring bony in for ighalo that week as well as pelle has Bournemouth at home
of course if aguero is back on the horizon I may not bother
I'm going to bank it this week

Martial -> Bony
Mata -> Sanchez

Job done! Should really have gotten rid of Sagna though. Even if he gets his game again this weekend City's defence has gone downhill massively without Kompany and Kolorov

It's a very solid side and there's no "need" to transfer anyone.

I take it you're taking a punt on Kolarov and will be happy to take his points when he plays and be happy enough to autosub in if Clichy rotates with him ?

Martial was unlucky the last 2 game weeks not to score and has looked dangerous. Utd. have that great run from 11- 18 and Martial will surely pick up something from that ? You are potentially losing points on him next weekend though as I don't see Utd. getting much change from City.

I have Costa,Vardy, Pelle. It's hard to know which is the best 3rd striker to go with as many of us are keeping 2 places for Vardy and Pelle and are dubious about the third one.

The reason I didn't go with Bony in the end was because of CL and the risk that Bony would have reduced time in the PL as the only registered striker for CL. That theory was blown out of the water by Pellegrini last w/e though.

It's a very tough choice. This weeks games/potential injuries might make your mind up for you either though.

I can see United getting a goal or two against City. City have looked porous at the back and are adopting a bit of a Kevin Keegan style cavalier attitude.

I think I'll bank and check the lie of the land. Could make 3 transfers next week then for -8.

Re Kolarov, I had planned on taking him out to free up funds but that's not really an issue as I have 5.1 million banked now!

I'd have expected him to get the European game but this makes it almost certain. Down to how he responds. Does he bust his gut or has he already been on the phone to PSG!

ElTel

Muniesa will use up my FT this week for Bavies or Toby probably.

My next decision might be Moses to Wijnaldum or Alli for a hit.
Regarding the discussion so far imo Martial, even with the risk of playing out wide is a hold for owners and Payet is a player I would not buy now.

FHFC

My other slight reservation on Wijnaldum this week is Newcastles awful record in the derby.
