    Have the money for Walters to Pogba,am inclined to give Salah another weeks chance as Liverpool play against a leaky Arsenal defence next.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,656 ✭✭✭Western Pomise


    Thinking Firmino, KDB and Iwobi out for Mane, Chicarito and Jese for -4. Struggling to find a replacement for Iwobi under 6mil

    Will you wait and see how KDB does first?

    Torn between an 8-12 point hit and activating the wildcard tonight.

    Had Speroni, Long, Holding, Alexander Arnold and Salah all not start for me today.

    So I need to make a defensive change, but I also want Pogba and either Eriksen/Alli next week.

    Is a wildcard worth it if you'll still end up with around 8 of the same players most likely, or are those 7 significant enough to be worth it?

    I'd nearly do a rage wildcard
    2nd last draft had Hegazi and Pogba. Watched supercup, thought Pogba was pants, changed him to Willian and upgraded my defence to Kolasinac.

    Going to reverse that tonight I reckon.

    Kolasinac/William out, Hegazi/Pogba in

    Personally think if you can get away with just a -8 then I would save the wildcard. Salah will definitely start v Arsenal imo - that's his rest for a few weeks anyway I imagine. If they don't look like dropping price, you could bench one of the others perhaps and hold the transfer over until the following week?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,345 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    Alli, Mane... Walters, Carroll, Cork
    Aguero, Lukaku, Jesus
    1M itb

    Think I'm going to pull the trigger on
    Jesus Walters to Pogba Chic.
    Both have nice fixtures bringing me up to my WC.
    Would have 2M itb so Aguero to Kane could happen if needed.

    Anyone going to try and stop me?

    You make it sound gloomy. What's your team next week with a -8?

    Dya know what? You and caviardreams are dead right. Gonna do Salah out for Pogba tonight, bring one of the Spurs defenders in for Holding later in the week, and decide after tomorrow and Monday whether De Bruyne to Alli is even worth it.

    Cheers lads.

    reading these posts wondering what the hell everyone is doing with Walters in their team

    KDB out to Pogba is the easy one, but then City are playing Bournemouth next week. That's a really good fixture to not have any City attackers.

    Only other nice way I can bring Pogba in is Firmino out to someone at 6m or less and go Walters to Pogba then. Could also do Firmino to Hernandez and transfer Willian or Ramsey out to Pogba, but I'd like to get rid of Walters if possible.

    I've a very good -8 set of

    Walters to Pogba
    Kolasanic to Jones
    Firmino to Hernandez

    but I'd rather not take a -8


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,711 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater

    Yeah defo but starting to think hes just too expensive


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Wouldn't that make the early transfer to Pogba an even better call? :confused::confused:
    If you transfer Salah out tonight why would you worry about him getting injured midweek?

    It would. Sorry lads, didn't read that properly! :o

    Why not keep Jesus as Kane's placeholder? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Is Hegazi going to be a full time first team player for West brom?

    I originally planned on having Dawson but wasnt sure how good they would be this season but so far so good clean sheets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    Bad idea because it means you can't get United defensive cover (big Phil :))

    Monreal out,The Many Faced God in.:p

    McCauley is also due back soon but it would be hard to drop him at this rate.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,752 ✭✭✭Thepoet85


    Salah to Pogba done, can't take a risk with a £9m player being benched, so changing now to catch the price rise.

    The next two fixtures are a lot more favourable to Pogba too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,256 ✭✭✭✭km79


    McCauley is also due back soon but it would be hard to drop him at this rate.

    And McCauley is 38 years old in fairness !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,299 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    Tekkers out - Chico in. Might chance Mo Salah another week. He only has Arsenal at home next. But no armband :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,672 ✭✭✭ElTel


    Pogba and Chicharito for Gro8 and Firmino with 2FTs?

    It means I'm without a Liverpool attacker and Jones Mkhi and Pogba in my team. :eek: 0.5itb....

    Would be 1M short of that at present. Think in need to go cheaper on my 3rd striker. It's limiting me to just 2 premium Mids, 5 strong attackers.

    Degrading to Chico and bringing in Pogba gives me 6 with the potential of a 7th in the 5.5-7.0M range over the next few weeks.

    Kun and Jesus still in my team.

    What's better?

    A) Mkhi, Firmino

    B) Ramsey, Jesus

    Gabbi got his goal today and resembled a professional footballer which was nice.......but Austin is there in the wings and came on for him when the game was level
    Meanwhile chicharito got 2 goals from nothing .

    I'll probably make that change instead of trippier as dann has a home fixture against a toothless Swansea team
    Will wait till later in week though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,578 ✭✭✭skippy15


    Pogba in like everyon else-
    But for William- looks good but hazard back soon so was not going be long term anyways, may rise tonight -
    Salah looks electric but is a rotation risk,
    KDB looked a must have as city cover and in pre season form,

    At minute I have it William, then Salah and KDB last- anyone agree


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,553 ✭✭✭✭Copper_pipe


    Another one on the Pogba for Salah train here.

    Banked my GW2 transfer.

    That means I'll have Bailly, Pogba and Lukaku.

    Many have Triple united coverage ?

    Q. Solve for X:

    Little Johnny has 7 Apples and he needs another apple so that he can buy some Pogba branded Cider priced at 8. Each Apple is worth 1.

    Little Johnny already has half an Apple in the basket (ITB) so only needs half an apple (X)

    He needs to spend 4 Oranges to release that extra half an apple needed to get the Pogba cider. With 7 Apples tied up in Willian and 5 apples invested in Cedric he could find that half an apple from swapping either of those along with the 4 oranges.

    However part of the orchard isn't open until tomorrow so he doesn't know if those apples have started to rot yet?


    A. Little Johnny has cracked open the cider and is already through his second Aaron Mooy!! :o



    OR



    A 4.5 defender to downgrade Cedric to or 6/6.5 to downgrade Willian to?

    Jese worth a punt or Richarlson?

    Obviously have a Zaha/Pogba issue which means I need to move tonight. I think Jese could be a popular move?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,256 ✭✭✭✭km79


    None of those 3 players are anywhere near a fall
    Panic over


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,943 ✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    Holding out. Need a replacement.

    Budget in 5m

    Current defense is

    DDG

    Bavies
    Yoshida
    Hegazi
    Mee

    .... Any recommendations?

    Mbemba
    4 ml Newcastle defender
    Will play next 2 so you may get a double rise


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,303 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    I'm thinking Pogba & Jesus in for KDB & Firmino for a -4.

    Pogba rising tonight so will have to pull the trigger this evening.

    Yay or Nay?

    Just do the pogba one now. No rush on getting Jesus in. He's not going to rise & firmino not going to drop tonight.

    Went with Walters to Pogba and Firmino to Okazaki. Okazaki basically just to enable getting Pogba in and Walters out. I can't get rid of KDB when they've got Bournemouth next week, he could run riot there

    Ahh it's pure knee jerk. I don't think I'll be doing any transfers this evening, will stick with what I have for the moment.

    Think it was my disappointment at seeing the highest score today was 108 from a fella who only started this week. I have 101 points from 2GW's :o

    Left Salah in for one more week,the way Arsenal were set up earlier could see Liverpool run riot against them next week.

    Even I wouldn't do that and I love an early value chasing transfer. (I did think about it :))

    Won't be doing anything with KDB till after MNF.

    Vardy to Chicarito my early favourite for my FT.
