Gameweek 5 Transfer Thread.

km79

I'm actually thinking of ruining the gauntlet of my defence of yoshida hegazi naughton and mee who have a mix of terrible fixtures or uncertainty in favour of switching chicharito out for firmino
I've no pool attackers and Burnley have no Heaton
This scares me
I will have to sort that mess out soon but will probably be a wc

Can you play two of the three chips in the same week? Can I wildcard and use bench boost at the same time basically?

Chicharito dropping like a stone

Still a long long way off a drop though. Can't see him being in danger of dropping before Friday.

Also he's 7.1 so not a problem for those of us who bought him at 7.0

High chance Andy Carroll will break soon in which case he returns centrally

Mooy needs to go, dunno why I even signed him considering he plays so deep

Who did you buy him for and when?

I'll hazard a guess you spotted he had scored/assisted that week and was cheaper than the player you sold him for.

You're not considering Chupo-Moting for the exact same reason.

I was impressed with him last night when they started going for it
He played the pass to set up the chances of the one before it
Took all set pieces
For 5.5 I'm happy to hold till I WC
I actually think he is just as good an option as Richie
Probably better as he doesn't get booked every game and is cheaper

I have Richie too so I think it's a waste of a spot owning someone like Mooy, I'm more tempted to Keep Ritchie but I'll probably hold Mooy till I WC, I think Cesc will be dropped/rotated soon and same with Stephens at the back so Mooy won't be a priority

I signed him because he was getting a lot of hype in here and he was cheap and in fairness he did score the game I signed him but with hindisght I think it's a mistake owning both him and Ritchie

Yeah, Chicharito was the one part of my wildcard team I wasn't 100% sold on. It was either Vardy + Davies or Chicharito + Alonso, but I really wanted Marcos...

Can't have everyone, it's a great game when there are so many options available!

Iused2likebusts

My plans have changed I'll be selling chicarito now.

The real mccoy 91

Shooting myself in the foot here but Sanchez and chicarito out for Kane and Antonio

richieffff

2ft, Jesus to Kane and Courtois to 4.5m keeper, considering Foster since I've no WBA defender.

Any better choice than Foster, have exactly 4.5

Gomes might be an option .Watford look decent defensively.

That's a good shout
Just note him down for my WC

Looks like Pogba might be out, after going off with his hamstring

eh i dunno

Glad I'm in my wildcard week.

bantee

I've already taken a -4 and now I need to offload Pogba. If I activate the wildcard now, will that cancel the -4 for the week? Pretty sure it does

If if activated it can't be inactivated?

Benimar

Benteke and Pogba to Kane (c) and a 5.9m midfielder (Richie, Chuopo-Moting) for -4 is on the cards now.

Hogey007

Had already planned tadic and chicarito out for Kane and a 5.5 or less mid. (To fund kane)

Tadic was dropped last week but Southampton lost so he might be recalled.

If I thought he'd play I'd keep him and sell pogba for a 7.0 mid to fund Kane (assuming pog is ruled out as expected)

Ace2007

that injury is going to actually help folk who don't have Kane, as now they have cash, whereas those of us with Kane and Pogba, now are missing Pogba and have to find a replacement.

yorlum11

Any ideas on when to play free hit or wildcard?

2FT.

Cedric or Morgan or Suttner to Bavies.
Lacazette to Kane.
Alli to someone around the £6.8 mark.

Not exactly delighted with it.
Will wait til after CL.

Alli stays then, and instead will need to do something more Pogcentric now - the upside of having waited (Bavies going up .1 being the downside).
All the apples will be in the Spurs Wembley cart I guess.

callaway92

Who are we thinking will fill in for Pogba?

Lingers/Mata/Fellaini/Herrera?

Paully D

I was really hoping to bank this week after playing the wildcard last week, but Pogba -> Mkhitaryan seems like the easiest transfer ever, no?

I don't think it really mattes, as for 3 of them players your not buying for FF, and the other's (Mata) game time is still not guaranteed. Best to look elsewhere imo.

Would it be better to look elsewhere? Especially if you have Lukaku already.

Pedro could be worth a look perhaps?

wanderer100

Have both William and Pogba and don't know what to do now. Not sure if Willian is gonna start but will probably have to use my FT on Pogba

Yeah I'll probably be relying on Tadic now or could start Stephens.
However I now have the option of keeping Kun instead of Jesus!!!
They've got me 44pts but the City pair have given me a few extra grey hairs.

Thinking Alli over Eriksen in the WC, he'll be a differential in some leagues

I was already relying on Stephens starting.
Tadic I'd expect to come back but may have a price drop before then?
I'll watch spurs match and make up my mind then.
I think now I'll be wildcarding Friday.

Kolasinac starting for me.
Tadic is halfway to a rise atm.

Cheers. I was looking at it wrong. Seen the red arrows and thought he was halfway to a drop. Ah he'll be fine price wise until the weekend. Prob not worth an extra -4 to ditch him. Especially when it's palace they play.

Gonna have to get Kane in and will need a -4 to do so.

Once Morata rises I'll have gained 0.1 on him.

It'll be Alli to Chupa Moting

Morata to Kane

I'll be happy to just have Ben Davies and Kane for Spurs

I'm doing the exact same with regard to spurs, but thinking of keeping morata and looking at a front line of Morata Jesus Kane

I'll finally be getting rid of lukaku. Even though he's getting goals, owning him just makes me feel cold and dirty. I don't like lukaku

I'm also going chopo moting in

Or with my 2 FTs I can just do lukaku to Kane and Ramsey to choupo moting... And keep dele for the swans....

Looking like Poggers out! Bollox! I planned on banking my FT this week:rolleyes:
Miki in? Siggy? Hmmm

sword1

Pogba had 80k transfers in this week, a good few of those could be transferring out for a hit, mikytaran will probably be the biggest gainer from Pogba transfers.

Benimar

Current team is:

Foster/Elliott
Davies, Valencia, Stephens, Suttner, Mee
Alli, Pogba, Ramsey, Richarlison, Carroll
Lukaku, Firmino, Benteke (!!)

Given that I will WC after fridays deadline (or GW7 at the latest) what would people think of:

Pogba and Benteke to Kane (c) and a 5.9 midfielder (probably Ritchie or Chuopo-Moting) for -4?

Sky saying he'll "be out for a few weeks". Looking at Mikhitryan as an option myself.

MuddyDog

Coutinho at 8.8. Surely if he starts this weekend and gets some points he'll shoot up fast.

Also, with Pogba, since he's now flagged can he drop in value? I bought him at 8.1 but can get rid at with a 0.1 profit now. However that'd probably mean buying him back at 8.3 if he can't drop meaning I'd be losing out.
