Gameweek 13 transfer Fred....

Mike Ehrmantraut

Where to start... Mane, Pelle, injuries possibly keeping Bellerin and Payet out, and after frustrations of today, Sanchez, Kdb and Dier all starting to test my patience.

Rapidly falling further behind in my main leagues, another week or 2 of this and I'll be shipping out half my team.

Aenaes

Wow, lots of early transfers it seems considering it's an international week. We also don't know the extent of Payet's injury, Bellerin might be worse than we've initally heard and Vardy could still be charged.

It could get interesting.

Michael D Not Higgins

I'm definitely waiting for more news, Aguero in particular.

Lemlin

Completed my transfers last night. I'll live with the reprecussions if there's any. Myhill to De Gea and Pelle to Kane done.

Rikand

Held off on my transfers. Will wait till nearer the end of the week if I can

Same here, Lukaku in for Pelle. Really hope that the injuries to Bellerin and Payet have been cleared up before the next GW.

awaits tales of woe after the inevitable international injuries ........

Iused2likebusts

Bony to kane done.

Which striker will you move out for Aguero in 2-3 weeks time ?

irish son

I think Ill get Bellerin in for one of my defenders, haven't decide who yet though. I have a second FT and would like to get Ozil too but then I will struggle to get Aguero in so may carry the second FT to get Aguero in the following week.

dahat

Decided to ride out the injuries to Sako, Payet ,Bony and Bellrin.

High hopes that Payet and Bellrin will be available after the break so if I can field 11 I won't take a hit as my Ft for De Gea is done.

Forming a plan for Aguero is now they key, looking at 3 transfers with Payet the likely loser in my midfield. A real pity but Arsenal and Leicester score more goals than West Ham so my double ups have to stay.

Think Payet will be my route to Aguero. I need to raise about .5m

Or I may shift Sagna to Moreno or the like.

Sako to Simpson
Payet to Wanyama
Bony to Aguero

Team will be arguably weaker but the fear of Aguero is too much to go without.

Shaque attack

what about Kone as the 3rd striker option in order to facilitate the Kun?

Everton have a decent run of fixtures but I suppose he's not guaranteed his spot. Would mean less midfield messing though

Irish Aris

I have an extra FT but unless I get rid of 2 of my more expensive midfielders (Ozil, Yaya, Sanchez) I can't afford Aguero.

I need a bit of tidying up in my back and need to consider what to do with Pelle.

If you're going to captain Aguero virtually every week then Sanchez isn't really necessary especially with Ozil proving such good value right now. A 10m+ player that you are rarely going to captain doesn't give you great value for money. Would be easy enough to downgrade him and upgrade Pelle to Aguero.

Gaillimh1976

Payet to Barkley

Doubling up on Barkley & Lukaku for next few weeks

That game time would definitely be a concern. I think you would want to have a pretty decent 5th mid if you went with that option. I would imagine a popular front three for the next few weeks if Vardy does get banned (and once we know Aguero is good to go) is Ighalo, Lukaku, Aguero.

good point. Thanks a mil!

dr.kenneth noisewater

Looks like Payet could be out for next 3 months!

dahat

If I sell Sako for Simpson this gw I can do my Aguero plan for 2 x -4 rather than a -8 in GW14.

Seems a far better plan to me, spread the risk.

TacT

Lingard in for Redmond. Coutinho in for Payet. To be done by the end of the break barring any other injuries. Might even throw my AOA chip into the mix to lineup as follows:

Hennessey

VVD Kolarov

Mahrez Sanchez Sterling Lingard

Kane Vardy Pelle

Bench of Schwarzer, Richards, Cathcart and Targett with 5.3ITB to draft aguero back in for BUIB.

Rikand

Aguero being available throws a massive spanner in my transfer plans for this week

looking at option there
-4 payet and pelle out
aguero in and was going to go for bench fodder like Darren fletcher to keep a million or so
but 2 interesting names jumped out at me
lanzini 5.3......poor fixtures though
delle ali 4.9.....more of a holding mid but he does get in the box
I already regret buying moreno over Bertrand though so it may be prudent to keep some cash

mectavba

I have exactly the right amount of money to do Mata & Pelle > Lanzini & Aguero.

I'm nervous of the international breaks, but also of Mata/Pelle losing value over the period.

Should I hold off or pull the trigger now?

My front 8 would be Sanchez, Ozil, KDB, Mahrez, Lanzini & Vardy, Ighalo, Aguero.

I kept all my cash from the Aguero sale before and could do

Pelle to Sergio
Payet to wijnaldum

And still have some change left over

the groutch

no need to worry about Pelle dropping this GW, he's still on 31% and they're home to Stoke next.

Rikand

Mata 10% to a rise as well so you should be safe enough for a while

Dempsey

Payet out, but for who....

I have Barkley in fpl and 2 x Sky sports FF teams, he's doing little of note in the last 3 weeks. Have you seem anything to suggest he's going to get returns soon as I'm thinking of ditching him...

He ain't no holding MF. Dier is doing that job.

He was motm in his last 2 games (both were on sky who have a tendency to give it to English born players).
He has 3 goals so far this season. Couple of assists too but they might if been in EL or cup games. He's found of a yellow card though.

spock.

Agreed. Deulofeu looks the better pick.

I'm thinking either Delofeu or Lanzini. Leaning more towards the latter to accommodate Kun. Plus he'll be more focal in the Hammer attack now with Payet out.

Lukaku or Kane. Probably Lukaku.

very good player and nice fixtures .......but prob better use of money can be found

Cartman78

Have 2 FTs this week and 2.6m in the bank....is Payet to Ozil a wise move at this stage??

Might hold off on Aguero for another couple of rounds

Thats the move I made yesterday evening, time will tell if it's wise or not.

ShaneU

Might just replace Payet with a cheapie like Lingaard. Also tempted to treble up on everton with Deulofeu.

Rest of MF is Mahrez, Barkley, Sanchez, De Bruyne

Would get Ozil but I'd have to take a hit

km79

those are some tasty fixtures Everton have...... ..maybe kun can wait........

menoscemo

Payet is currently dropping at almost 10%/hour according to FFfix. Looks like he might make the first drop tonight. 1 drop wont affect my resale value but I don't want him to drop again and lose value. At the same stage I want to get Cabaye in to replace him but he is in the French squad for their 2 friendlies and I won't know if he gets through injury free until next Wednesday. Ugghhhh.

Kane is also due to rise tonight and that's not helping (I was planning to get him in as my second FT for Martial).

The sensible thing to do is to wait and see how the injuries / potential injuries pan out.

The risky option is to throw the dice on price rises and hope you don't get hurt.

Personally speaking I threw the dice yesterday and took a -4. Hopefully it doesn't come back to haunt me.

FHFC

Having not hugely thought it through I've done KDB to Ozil (last night before he went up) and Pellè to Kane with my 2 fts.

With mostly friendly internationals I'm hoping for the best. Plus I have a strong front 8 and a selection headache, as well as 4 good defence fixtures and another selection headache there so can stomach a couple of injuries.

I've been cautious about transfers lately and taken some damage to my team value as a result, but more importantly playing against my grain has seen me slump in points returns too. Decided against an early value saving Ozil transfer 2 weeks ago and went for sensible "on form with great fixtures" Pellè over Kane before that.

Getting rid of KdB majorly risky but I'm not gonna want him and Aguero i think and I'm now 2 transfers from lukaku/Kane to Aguero, or interestingly, 3 from a Lukaku, Kane, Aguero front line which is definitely more my style!!

DarraghF197

Yeah I don't think KDB will be having as much an impact anymore. That's my main gut feeling which is why I transferred him out last night. I wanted to get rid of both Mane and Pelle, but I might have to keep them with all the other concerns. I looked up a few stats and 30% of Stoke's conceded goals last year were from headers, which is a little more promising for Pelle.

Payet will have to go obviously, and I might consider a cheap, short term replacement that's in form. I'll probably get Butland in which means I'll be cheering for Pelle and Mane, while cheering for a Stoke clean sheet! Both sides covered anyways (wait till Tadic goal!). Berahino was meant to be gone already, and I don't think I could plough through several weeks of hard WB fixtures with him, plus Rondon is stepping up. Basically, I've no idea what to do lol.

Went Payet to Ozil and Bony to Kone....now have 5.5m in the bank for the inevitable Pelle to Aguero switch in the coming weeks

iroced

Gave in to Bony -> Kane.

Wanted to wait for internationals to be played but money's quickly becoming a huge problem for me and any saved £0.1m is gonna be vital now to avoid a massive hit for Agüero if the fecker is back firing sooner than (I) expected...

Wouldn't you have ditched Sanchez or Sterling instead?

I'll be doing kdb to Ozil in the next gw or 2. Ozil getting a nice rest over the international break is good. With silva nasri Aguero on the way back I think kdb may see some rotation in the coming weeks.

That would be a very nice frontline.

fucked up already! I was too eager to get my transfers in to beat price rises and was supposed to keep Vardy out of my 3 strikers, low and behold i only went and shipped Vardy and Bony out and left myself with Pellé:rolleyes -4 just to correct my mistake straight away (had 2 free transfers) my head has not been in the game this year at all lingering back down around 1.4mil again.

tell me about it. Although in fairness its just another case of me not paying attention this season. After my highest finish ever last year i've lost interest this season and im struggling in all my money leagues. :rolleyes: even if im trailing by this pint in the past my team value has been quite high to milk the Jan WC but that's not even the case this season.

Ah well... maybe i'll write this season off and plan for next yr! Like Chelsea and Liverpool ha
