GW35 Transfers. Or, managing to field 11 players.

ThunbergsAreGo

Went a bit mad

KDB Martial and lukaku for Sturridge Kane and Ali

hufpc8w3adnk65

Prob Kane and Long in
Lukaku and Martisl out

SantryRed

Contemplating a -4:

Mahrez -> Alli
Martial -> Defoe

It'd give me 11 players. I'm highly debating the Mahrez to Alli switch. Mahrez looks horribly off form, but with Vardy gone, he has to step up this week. But I'm terrified to go another week without Alli at this stage, especially at home to WBA.

Defoe really interests me for the last 4 weeks.

His games are:

Arsenal (h) (Anything is a bonus)
Stoke (a) (Stoke are completely disinterested and off the boil)
Chelsea (h), Everton (h) (Two more completely disinterested teams)
Watford (a) (Will be completely safe and may be eyeing up a cup final 6 days later)

I'm struggling to find a better alternative for a striker to compliment Kane and Aguero! Unless I bring Alli in for a non starting mid, and go 3-5-2 for the week and then think of a transfer to make for Martial (I really don't want him til the end, not explosive enough).

What do people think? I'm gonna be about 20 points off top from my main money league after this week, I think it's a sensible punt.

I've martial go get rid of
it's Shane long for free (short term good long term bad)
or Defoe for free ( short term not great long term good)
or a -4 for sturridge ,....which is so tempting

greedygoblin

Most likely I'll take a -16 and finish the season off with a starting 11 that I'd actually be happy playing with. Used the wildcard to rip my team apart for the doubles - I would have been better off if I left it as is.

Martial -> Kane
Lukaku -> Defoe
Milner -> Alli
Ward -> Alderweireld
Gabriel -> PvA

At this stage I have little to no hope of making 50k, so I might as well make the above transfers before 35. I'm not worried about overall rank anymore so might as well roll the dice. The one transfer I might change is Long instead of Defoe for 35 and then switch him for Defoe for the remainder of the season.

Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Have enough to do Lukaku to Sturridge, I'm weary of a Sturridge price rise but not knowing the extent of Origi's injury is making me hesitant to buy him.

dahat

Martial to Sturridge done
Coutinho to Ali done

-4 and 10 tp play Saturday but optimistic that Nasri plays to give me 11.

wonski

Lukaku out.

For anyone, really...

I shall never captain him again

Benimar

Was going to do Martial to Kane until Mitrovic didn't start last night. I then figured I'd hold Martial for DGW37 and sell Mitrovic.

Now I'm back to the idea of selling Martial after his magnificent 3 points this week!

The only certainty is that Kane and Alli are coming in for a -4.

paulie21

Vardy to Kane. Have 11 just hoping Kun or KDB don't get rested

I think it's less likely they will be rested after tonight's games. City have no margin of error if they want top 4. Man U, West Ham and even Liverpool have very winnable games left (albeit the 2 Utds play each other)

Likely he'll be out for the rest of the season.. Klopp said in post-match that it's something to do with ligaments

Depends how much Pellegrini actually cares about Top 4 too though....

I think Aguero gets 60 mins on Saturday. If the Stoke that played Spurs turns up, that's enough for a hat trick though...

lougal88

Help me out here.

Want to get Kane and Sturridge in but its tough for cash.

Only way I can do it is Martial + Lukaku + Coutinho to Kane + Sturridge + Loftus-Cheek.

Worth it?

Cartman78

Really want/need to get Kane & Alli in asap……..will mean selling one of KDB or Sanchez and dumping AntonyMartial3PointsinDGWffs.

Had also considered getting rid of Firminio but Origi’s injury has changed his immediate prospects I reckon.

Will see how Arsenal and Sanchez(c) get on tonight – another meh performance will see Alexis getting the bullet

mectavba

Martial (worst captain choice ever) & Wijnaldum > Pelle & Eriksen

About 100 points off the top of my money league after a disastrous WC/DGW combo...swinging like a wild drunk with my remaining transfers. Flogging the dead horse that is Villa is where I hope I might make up some ground. Watford duo in the week after, especially with a DGW after!

caviardreams

Anyone know how bad origi's injury is yet? If he is only going to miss one match I might keep him.

spock.

Martial --> Kane(c)
Otamendi --> PVA

I haven't owned PVA since last season and I'm already excited!

Shedite27

Delaney/Bolassie -> Rose/Iwobi

Just need a midfielder for 1 week so Iwobi fits the bill, will likely be on the bench for the rest of the season.
Rose looks to be a reliable for one of the few teams still playing at 100%

I'd have liked to get in Sturridge but I've 3 Liverpool players already (Mignolet/Clyne/Firmino)

dsmythy

Before WC and chip madness I had only to do 1 FT to make 11 and be happy with my team. But now...

Darmian, Bolasie, Mitrovic ---> Rose, Alli, Defoe. (-4) Bring on more madness.

FHFC

I see people here and on twitter going for Rose. Has something changed regarding the perpetual Poch rotation of full backs? Owned Toby for so long stopped paying any attention to the other Spurs defenders.

I'm probably gonna get a Spurs def back in and he'd be ideal if secure.

spock.

Rose has started every game since Spurs got knocked out of FA cup and EL (ie only focusing on the league)
I'd be shocked if he was dropped at this stage if the season.

siblers

He doesn't seem to rotate anymore, Spurs are pretty much like Leicester these days, same starting XI for everygame.

Would think Rose and Walker are secure until Spurs have nothing to play for and then Trippier/Davies will get a match

Spurs team picks itself these days, can't see us rotating any players till the league is gone.

FHFC

Thanks Lads. I think double Arsenal defence is no longer warranted and Spurs clean sheets damage me greatly at present.

May even do it for a hit this week as they've a great chance of a clean sheet.

Mr.Prodston

If I did get Rose I can almost guarantee my good friend and part-time legend Ben Davies would start

Loftus Cheek isn't a bad shout if he is guaranteed to start, not much else in that price range apart from the 3 Leicester midfielder boys, M'Villa or Hoolahan

LightsStillOn

In a stroke of madness last night I got rid of KDB, Funes Mori, Rashford & Lanzini and brought in Alli, Morgan, Kane & King. Not sure how I feel about it in the light of day :pac: I'm liking the front line of Aguero, Kane, Sturridge a lot though!

Its pretty cool alright!



I'm a sucker for a super heavy front 3, often to my cost as I often overlook cheaper forwards (Ighalo this year, Kane and Austin last year) so this week has been very satisfying on that front too!

Smalling to PVA
Or Payet to Milner
To allow martial to Sturridge ????

Smalling to PVA.

Payet is just too good to drop. Smalling is overpriced.

With Iwobi in your team I'd remove Payet. Guess you have to factor in a dearer re-buy or go with Noble for GW37 on.

or lanzini .......I dunno I'm only thinking out loud
I could always just go martial to Defoe and leave it at that
I'll be looking at moving mahrez out in advance of 37 too I think so he could become a West ham midfielder

Iwobi + Martial to Defore and Millner?

He's started the last 3 and scored against Villa. Will do as bench player in 36.

Really just an enabler for Kane and Sturridge.

That front 3 of Aguero Kane Sturridge is too enticing. Also with Coutinho being rested against Bournemouth I'm happy enough to get Sturridge in instead.

I think I want Sturridge !
Will see how Iwobi goes tonight
I'm thinking more about this and it could be a very smart move actually thanks

Martial to Pelle done, not sure whether to do Mahrez to Alli. Both teams fixtures aren't great gw36 onwards.

Ace2007

Thoughts on this:

Ward, Ozil and Origi to
Dave, Stanislas and Sturridge

Will give me 10 players and no keeper - don't think makes sense to take a hit for a keeper.
Mainly want Sturridge and this is the only way that really works - Ozil has gone off the boil lately

I feel weirdly assured now that you've joined me in the Pelle owners club.

Pelle is my boy, I had him in the earlier part of the season and he did wonders for me :cool:

You should also note that my season has absolutley fallen apart and I fully expect Pelle to return 2 points :pac:

are people not worried about sturridge starting. He is liverpools only fit striker. I read origi is to be out for minimum 2 weeks. If true that means sturridge starts next thursday. I think there is a 50/50 chance he starts. I also think there is a bigger chance he doesnt start gw36 against swansea.

Xaniaj

Have both Milner and Firmino, will move one on for Alli for a hit. Presume Firmino will get more game time?

Could Benteke start instead of him in the league? I haven't been following 'Pool that closely lately.

Worried about it all right. Will be watching Klopp's comments closely and monitor what happens v Newcastle. He's in the best form and fitness of the last 2 years and will want to play though. Tough call if you don't have him and considering buying though as he could easily score big vs Newcastle.

Yea unfortunately I think you're right. I think Benteke will get some games in the league when he's back from his injury and Sturridge will be the main man in the Europa league. It's annoying as I was gonna bring Sturridge in but I'll have to wait for the team news.

Benteke has been injured and only "nearing a return to full training" according to Dinnery.

Here's his opinion re Studge starting vs Newcastle from earlier today...

"Benteke is close but Sturridge starts."

I'm only after decimating my team to get him!! :eek:

extra gravy

Even if he doesn't start, I'd rather than an in form Sturridge for half an hour over most other strikers for 90.
