Gameweek 3 Transfer Thread

d-gal

Kane, Vardy, Benteke

Or

Kane, Lukaku, Calvert-Lewin?

Thinking over the next few fixtures option 1 could be better but can see lukaku and Calvert price rising in the future

I would not be worrying about CL price I'd be worried about his gametime if you still intend to play 3 up top.

The real mccoy 91

Thinking of giving Jesus one more chance will be wildcarding soon I'd say but gone for kdb and Walters out for Antonio and richarlison

extra gravy

DDG Elliot
Kola Bertrand Ake Mee Long
Willian KDB Ramsey Carroll Cork
Kane Lukaku Firmino

Any ideas on what to do with lot this week? Was close to wildcarding but just going to use FT now and wait a week. Maybe Ake to a West Brom defender...Bournemouth look awful so far.

They're gonna be the new Alli/Eriksen or Coutinho/Firmino aren't they. Lottery as to who scores higher on any given week.

Now that Jesus has dropped, I am going to keep him for the weekend and see how he fares.

DDG - Heaton
Willian - Mkhit or Pog ? (Can you afford) Imperative you get on one of these Man U mids.
Ake - Hegazi (Wimmer if he goes to West Brom nice at 4.4)

Names on top (near or above 100%) are likely to rise, if you go to the last page, the names on the bottom (near or below -100%) are likely to drop in price.

The accuracy is not 100%, but it gives you a good indication and helps with transfers that involve players who are about to change their price.

Let's say you have 9.0 in the bank and are planning to buy a player who is 9.0 at the moment. If he is at 90-100% you can make the transfer now otherwise you might be 0.1 short next day.
If, however, he is at 40-50%, you can sit back and wait a day or two without a problem.

Similarly if one of your your players is in red, and you are about to do straight swap for another player with the same value, You might need to hurry up, otherwise you will be 0.1 short when your player's price drops overnight.

Might get rid of KDB and Jesus altogether.....Kane and Pogba in

Already have Carroll and Walters stinking out my midfield so not sure if bringing in another cheapie is the way to go

2nd night of broken, fevered, FPL inspired sleep....;)

Still keen on getting Kane and Pogba in but now looking at maybe getting rid of Alli instead of KDB....is that pure unfettered madness, or am I anyways even half right in wanting to keep some City cover

If FPL hadn't lied about potential price drops I would have used my FT this week to sell KDB for Eriksen or Alli but most likely Eriksen.

markcahill1985

Confirmed KDB & Firmino to Kane and Richarlson. Now just sleepless nights over who to captain, Kane or stay with Lukaku

carnie

I'm considering banking. It will give me two FTs for the return after the International break.

Otherwise it would be something like Ward-Prowse to Doucouré. Yeah he might to well against Brighton but it just seems like a transfer for the sake of transferring

normanoffside

I Need to get a 4th Midfielder in for Walters who will probably drop tonight. I'll wait until after the league cup fixtures have finished in case of injury.

I'll be needing to play him most weeks, budget up to 7m. At the moment I am looking at Richarlson, Jese, maybe Mooy.

Any other thoughts?

Shanotheslayer

Guys I either go:

A)

KDB- Silva
Lacca - Kane

Or



Lacca - Kane
Firmino - Mounie

I like Hudderfields fixtures, but I'll have no Liverpool cover, but if KDB blanks again after the international break could go KDB-Silva or so.

Leaning towards B

Id go with Richarlson or Mooy as Im not fully convinced on Jese tbh. My preference would be Richarlson as he plays further forward and looked impressive in the last game, didnt see much of the Liverpool game.

Worth getting rid of Ake for Bavies/Trippier for -4?

No idea how to get Pogba or Mkhitaryan into my team. I have 2 free transfers and am pretty happy with them all.

Foster Elliott

Stephens Danilo Bailly Mee Haidara

Alli KdB Willian Loftus-Cheek Carroll

Gabbiadini Kane Lukaku

KdB I'd like to hold for this weekend's game. I'm looking at Willian and Bailly as possible ways to it. Any ideas please as it's driving me loopy.

Don't lose the transfer anyway
Danilo to trippier assuming trippier is fit.

Panthro

Ake to hezagi done.
Underwhelmed

Richarilison seems a bit of a baller. Good game in League Cup last night, their fans are raving about him. Mental stats.

I'm definitely having a bit of that pre wildcard.

Worth keeping an eye in Pereyra there. Did he come on to replace him when he was injured first game?

Transfer Bailly to a ~4.5 and upgrade Willian to Pogba...

Going to go Kolasinac to Hegazi I think. Arsenal could get a good hiding at Anfield. Will allow me to do Willian to Pogba/Mkhi then if I want.

Pereyra is out for another couple of week. But this lad has been in blistering form and will be hard to drop, as bandwagons go I think he's worth it with a Wildcard in the back pocket.

Still considering banking due to the international break and all that goes with that after !
Kdb to mane was under consideration but pool have the 1230 game straight after int break and he has 2 games the second one away on the Tuesday night
Gabbi to chicharito was and still is under consideration. Also has 2 games . Second one away on the weds night but west ham don't play until the Monday night .....
So it's chicharito or bank

Now Scott Dann went off at HT last night and if he is out then trippier is coming in .......unless he is also injured

Removing Bailly is too risky. Consider a hit or Gabbi to fodder for free and play with 2 up top...

Ward-Prowse for Matt Philips or Matic ?

The reverse of this is that every player on the opposition team against Liverpool has a better than average chance of scoring, especially someone who is good in the air. I wouldn't have an Arsenal defender full stop, but if you already have him there are better times to get rid.

I got rid of him for Hegazi anyway, better chance of a clean sheet and extra money in the bank so I'm happy enough.

Got to get rid of Darmian this week and just cut my loses on not selling sooner. Hegazi or Blind?
Is Blind going to be a rotation risk?
I thought Darmian played well before the season kicked off so I was really caught out by him being dropped from the team.

Whats the latest on Uniteds defence rotation? Has been solid for the first two games, all four defenders playing 180 minutes, but small sample size.

I have £5.5m to spend on a defender and eyeing up Blind! Never considered him before but he has the most shots, crosses and attempted assists of all United players, and he's on corners.

The obvious issue is rotation. Who would take his place, Darmian? All of my other defenders would start, so I wouldn't mind if Blind missed the odd game. The issue would be him coming on for 15 minute cameos, or going off before 60 mins. Looking at last year, there were only 3 times when he was subbed on/off for a 1-point cameo. All other games he either played past 60 minutes or didn't play at all. Worth the risk?

Luke Shaw played a reserve game Monday for an hour, he should be first choice if he can remember not to be a moron

Phil Jones is surely guaranteed for the season at £5m.

Serious? I assumed he was only a guarantee for the first few weeks. Also a rumour he didn't train the other day. He'll never get any goals or assists though, for an additional £0.5m there are better options.

I have Alonso, and will be rotating Hegazi and Lowe for the third defender spot, but want someone in the £5m-$5.5m bracket for that 2nd DF spot that will play every week.

Bertrand is definitely an option, he gets forward and even when he doesn't score or assist, he tops the BPS chart through chances created. Harry Maguire is one I had my eye on pre-season, although his underlying stats would indicate he has over-performed with his goal and assist. Tough fixtures coming up, potentially one for GW7 onwards. Trippier is an option although this article has me concerned!

If Blind was guaranteed to play 3/4 of all games I think he would be worth the gamble.

Phil Jones and guaranteed for the season should never be put together in the same sentence. The lad could break at any moment.

He's cheap and should play every week, Phillips is more expensive but probably has more potential to get points

Phil Jones currently suffering with potential fear of Injury which could cause him to miss the rest of the season :pac:

Much better cheap options imo. Matic will play but his goals/assists are awful from an FPL perspective.


My transfers are done now:

Laccazette - Kane
Firmino - Mounie

Giving me a team this week of:

Foster
Alonso, Baily, Hegazi, Lowe
KDB, Tadic, Willian
Mounie, Lukaku , Kane(C)

Benimar

Currently rethinking my KDB, Firmino to Kane and Richarlison for -4.

Yes, it gives me the Kane (c) option but taking out KDB at a porous Bournemouth and Firmino for a hit just seems wrong. If Arsenal play 3 at the back at the weekend (surely last night showed Wenger he can't) I can see Liverpool doing serious damage (and still probably losing 4-3!). Firmino could have had a hat trick of goals AND assists last night.

My fear with Firminho is that if Sturridge starts like he did after the CL game last week, Firminho is out on the left which doesn't appeal to me, especially considering he'd be up against Bellerin.

Sturridge won't start. Wouldn't be 100% surprised to see the same starting XI as last night.

4 goals and 9 assists in 27 games last season for Phillips. The official fantasy scout is tipping him now , he got and goal and an assist mid week too. Combine that with decent West Brom fixtures, that's me decided.

I was referring to Matic when relating to goal/assist. I had Phillips last year and he was great for me.

Sooo....Willian. Keep for one more week or sell for Pogba/Mkhi for a hit. Tempted to sell, Everton looking fairly solid so far plus he is a rotation risk.

I wouldn't sell for a hit. United play Leicester who won't be rolling over either.
