Gameweek 13 transfer Fred....

sheroman01

With Payet injured, it looks like some people are taking risks on his replacement which is good! Going with Bolasie myself and thinking of captaining him too!

Yeah. It's not obvious who to get in.

I'd narrowed it down to Willian and Bolasie and have a slight preference for the latter.

It's the first time this season that I've not been sure what to do.

eh i dunno

Pelle and payet out, kane and mane in

Dempsey

I did Payet out for Tadic last night. Not seeing the fuss over Mane this season

spock.

Keeping Payet for this week and benching him. Need another week to find a replacement

Had him at the start of the season and he did nothing. Got him a few weeks ago and all he did was get a goal and sent off in the same match with a few blanks. One to avoid anymore.

skippy15

De gea in for me-

Had Payet on bench anyways this week
Will be moved onto Lucas or someone next week allowing Pelle to Aguero

Any Bony owners going for Kun straight away?

Not a Bony owner, but doubt Aguero will be straight back in.
He will see minutes if needed or game is safe, just for a run out.

If he gets any minutes against Liverpool, I will get him in straight away.

I'll await a reaccurance of his injury within 2 weeks then spend all the money I've been sitting on elsewhere.

reluctant to sell pelle at home to stoke
also think it's too early for aguero really
beginning to look at getting Kane in and building towards a 343 with vardy Kane aguero up front
means selling ighalo though...........

SantryRed

Did Payet -> Ozil a few days ago and still have another FT.

I've many on the chopping block:

Richards, Sinclair, Ruddy, Pelle, Martial.

I want Aguero, Kane, Butland for definite.

Gonna wait until Friday week to make my mind up on the second transfer.

I'd hold Pelle for next week if I had him, following week he's away to City while Kane is home to Chelsea, know more on Aguero by then.

lougal88

Beginning to look at my Kun contingency plan for the next week or 2.

I think KdB will be the one to go as his point-getting potential will probably drop upon Kun's return.

Option 1: Kane/Kdb -> Kun/6.7m mid i.e Cabaye.

Option 2: Vardy/Kdb -> Kun/4.3m mid bench fodder i.e. Watson.

Leaning towards option 2 as it would give me the premium front line of Kane/Kun/Lukaku backed up by a mid of Sanchez/Mahrez/Mane/Barkley.

Don't want to ditch Kane who seems to be back to form and Vardy might start to taper off a bit once the record business is settled and fixtures get tougher.

With the number of people dumping Pelle, I am convinced that BUIB will add to his legend by getting a hat-trick next match.

I can feel their rage already!

PS: not sure of the fantasy football wisdom of holding a player just so I can be smug....
but it will be funny.

Rikand

Gonna hold pelle now I think for a Stoke and then look to ship him for Aguero after

I'm holding him alright
I'm just now debating whether to bring in and captain Kane for ighalo
gives me a problem getting aguero back then .......

On the contrary, I think it'll increase. His returns have been poor with Aguero out.

I hear what you're saying but I think with Kun and Silva out he had a big opportunity to grab decent scores. He even had short spells up front.

But when City have all their attacking players back I think I wont be alone in downgrading KdB as a way of getting Aguero in.
I still think the scores will be shared among Kdb, Silva Sterling et all.


Anyhoo, does anybody have any advice on which option was better?
Too much money in a Forward Holy Trinity of Kun/Kane/Lukaku?

Aenaes

KDB had his best returns when Aguero was in the team.

4 weeks playing with Aguero = 35 points.

4 weeks playing without Aguero = 16 points.

Your point about KDB and Silva makes more sense I think. They've only played in the one match together versus Newcastle. Silva coming back could diminish KDB's assists.

I'd take Vardy over Lukaku any day.

IsMiseMyself

Mother of God. Just logged in to see how my team fared in internationals. 5 yellow flags and a red. Think I might just log back out again and hope for the best!

Wouldn't read much into it, mostly lads with "wink wink" niggles to get out of playing meaningless friendlies.

Ah yeah I reckoned it was all only minor, if not! Granted, the last international break was cruel to me so hopefully this one shapes up better.

Would actually love if Vardy did miss one. Would be an advantage to strong front 8 people if such a highly owned player was out

Not those of us with Payet as well

Even better.

at the moment I have nobody in the Sunday or Monday night game.......payet to bolasie is therefore tempting me !
I'm .1 short of bringing in Kane for ighalo as well! of course if vardy is out injured .............

stiffler123

-4
Pelle to Kane
Payet to Evertonion Messi.

Will try and resist the urge to get Kun until the Stoke game.

lukaku is miles out in front on FFS captain poll
combined with his high ownership he is becoming a problem

We all know what happens when Lukaku tops a captain poll

extra gravy

Villa looked a lot more organised against City. If Tim was still in charge, I'd go for Lukaku but not now I don't think.

Chesty08

Might bank this week and reassess as i'm none the wiser on what to do with my defence

Vertonghen (WHU)
Kolarov (LIV)
Bellerin (wba)

Subs:
Simpson (new)
Prodl (MANU)

Long term I want Man U and Soton defensive coverage and with that I want Prodl & Vertonghen moved on. Utd away to Watford and Soton at home to Stoke - not good options for clean sheet to what I have.

Perhaps bank and then reassess Utd cover later.

Or move Payet on for Stanilas allowing for Aguero next week

patmac

Thinking Smalling, Bellerin,Payet, Mahrez, Ayoze and Pelle out for Coleman,O'Shea, Houlihan, Brady, Whelan and Walters for -24.

better be quick, a Walters triple rise is imminent.

thank God I sold begovic

Joking aside Walters isnt a bad option. Has been playing upfront for Stoke and if I recall has signed a new contract.

That's only a -20 unless you've already used up a FT or two. I'm guessing you used your FT before Friday with a Begovic -> Randolph.

Gary Gurny

Someone help me please I have about 4/5 that needs transferring out at this stage now but in spite of that I am loathe to take a hit.and I think I should have 11 this coming week to field so I am nearly sure I will bank .

DE gea. (McCarthy)

Bertrand. Bellerin. Dier. (Simpson) (Staylor)

KDB. Sanchez. Mahrez. Mane. (Westwood)

Vardy. Lukaku. Costa.


I know my defence needs a lot of work, with possibly Dier, and Taylor leaving. Depending of course whether bellerin is fit this weekend, any news of him being fit actually?


I am considering transferring out Sanchez for ozil to be honest..not only cos of funds but he seems to be a better option the last few weeks.
Mane to Bolasie is a transfer I may make this week due to palaces nice run of games but I could see mane doing well against Stoke so that can wait a week more .
Westwood obviously has to go for someone who plays .

Don't know if Vardy will be fit this week? Lukaku can stay. Costa has been absolutely rubbish since I got him in 3 weeks ago, but Chelsea's fixtures are just unreal so I am willing to give him probably another 2/3 weeks, especially since kun is not back yet..thoughts?

spock.

Did Payet --> Ozil last night before Payet's drop.
On -8 for the week now.

I dunno if you are serious or taking the p1ss. There's not a lot wrong with your team. Your defense has a good mix of players from the teams with the best defensive records in the epl so far - united, arsens, Spurs and Southampton.

Sure you could move Dier and Saylor but unless you've got budget to play with then any transfer is likely to be a sideways move.

lol no i am not taking the piss at all. perhaps i am just panicking a bit because currently i have 5 players as doubtful. Probably bank it this week tho and make 2/3 transfers next week.

DarraghF197

Should I get Lukaku in for Berahino for another (-4) with Sanchez being out, or should I chance Sanchez playing and then have Berahino as my player to come on if he doesn't play? Probably my hardest transfer week yet, so many players suddenly off form/ have bad fixtures/ injured.

I think the big headache people are going to have in the coming weeks is who to choose from between Lukaku and Kane

Currently have Lukaku Kane Vardy, but will have to move one of them for return of Kun

Thinking Lukaku at the moment (in about 2 weeks)

That will be hard to do especially if he maintains his form, I'm comtemplating not getting in Arguero at all and going with Kabe Lukaku and Vardy, apart from that explosion against newcastle Aguero did very little in the first 7 gameweeks, it was only 19 points

If the prices don't move too much, can downgrade Kompany and go with Kun/Kane/Lukaku

Tempted !!!

I'm tempted by dumping Lukaku and bringing in Delofeu for Payet in the coming weeks.

So you'd reckon the young spaniard is the "best" Payet replacement (considering Ozil/Mata should be too expensive options for my team)?

I still think Bolasie or Willian are the better value Payet replacements.

IsMiseMyself

Oh! More yellow flags! Let's hope this clears up over the next two days so I can figure out who I actually need to transfer.
