GW17 Transfers

HarryStuby

Strongly thinking of activating my free hit this game week, I take it your transfers still have to be within the 100 mil max value?

Would you at all be interested in going with a cheaper striker and beefing up your midfield? 3-5-2 seems to be in vogue at the moment and would be my choice if I was using a wildy right now

Thanks for that. I agree that the best value for money seems to lie in midfield. My front 8 looks like this atm:

Silva Salah Groß Hazard Richarlison
Vardy Kane Calvert-Lewin

Week to week I'll end up benching one of Groß or DCL (or both if my defenders fixtures are good). It's a strategy that seems to be working ok so far, but inevitably points will be left on the bench some weeks. I have 0.8 in the bank so there's not much for upgrading Vardy to Morata, unless I downgrade one or two defenders. I think Groß has to go too. He's been a bit underwhelming lately.

Would need to see whole midfield though

Salah/Sterling/Hazard/Richie/TPT

Was looking for some Leicester coverage but had been looking at Albrighton as he seems nailed on

Should I sell Ageuro and buy Kane?

Yeah he is a better shout actually
If TPT is to remain as your 5th mid is defo go with Austin instead of DCL
If you can ever spare a transfer maybe “upgrade” him to RLC
Nice fixtures and almost scored again at weekend
He is someone I’ll be starting over Xmas .Probabky the weeks Austin has poor fixtures back to back .
I have zaha at the moment too but I’ll be moving him on for Shaq most Likely although albrighton indeed could also be an option for me . Free up cash go get DDG
Food for thought

I'm considering
Trippier --> Kenny
Ramsey ---> Doucoure
Niasse --> Firminho

For a 4 point hit.
0.7 still in the bank with Doucoure.
Might get Shaq either for 0 in the bank in which case it looks like I'd have to pull the trigger tonight as he's looking like rising overnight.

Leaves me with Kane, Morata and Firmino up front

Change.

Trippier --> Ogbonna

Probably more nailed on that Kenny especially with an extra days rest. Then there's the bonus of a DGW coming up too. Only problem is it's Arsenal this week.

Probably.* You just don't know how much gametime, if any, Kun will get because of Pep's rotation policy. At least Kane will likely play most of the time.



*Watch Kun score 4 against Swansea now.
** Also Kane will have a blank GW21 & a double GW22.

Looking to make an upgrade in the defence,

Have: Duffy, Daniels, Kola, Rosenior, and Naughton.

Have 1.6 ITB

A West Ham defender is tempting at the moment unless I can be persuaded otherwise

I think people are getting carried away tbh
They were utter utter poison until the last 2 weeks and I don’t see Moyes completely changing that
Yes they have a DGW but they also have a blank the week before when assuming you have Kane you are already a player down at the busiest time of the season

manual_man

No transfer made yet. Worried about my defence : Trippier (Aurier prob starts), Jones(he's Jones), Mee (may not start). Sub defs are Mariappa and Dunk

Strong rumours Morata is out now so that’s made my decision a lot easier.

Rikand

Did Daniels to Kenny last night.

Thinking of Lowton to Ogbonna now.

My defense is just getting cheaper and cheaper. PLus I kept keeping Lowton cause I kept feeling like he was gonna come back, but now their fixtures are about to turn, I just feel there is no point anymore. I'll keep my value made on him and buh-bye


Both are free transfers

Mr.Prodston

Daniels -> Kenny
Ramsey -> Coutinho

-4

Momentarily considered just Ramsey -> Siggy without a hit but not being on Penalties like at Swansea put a stop to that.

Still have Speroni/Elliott, have 2 flags on Mee and Femeina and that's before we get to Gomez and the talk of rests for Morata and Richarlison. On and 2 hits the last 2 weeks.

Heading into week 4 of my wildcard team :pac:

Journalists on Twitter saying he is out with a back injury. No reliable sources as yet.

Jaysus.

Would be nice for it to be confirmed before price rises later.

@ColmVHayes: @thestatszone Alvaro Morata (over 34k transfers in) ruled out for #GW17 - 'bit tired and has a back problem' #FPL #HUDCHE http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/12/conte--morata-out-but-drinkwater-returns.html

Already made my transfers and wouldn't have sold him anyway but annoying nonetheless
Now have to decide whether to go with double palace miss or Ricky and mariappa who play palace !!!! Chances are all 4 will play as I also have Bavies
This won't end well !
Really need mee to play now . Benches will be tested severely which will hopefully be in my favour

I was thinking he was very likely to get a rest anyway.

‘a bit tired’ ? See how that one goes when I call in sick tomorrow.

Just came up on SSN there about morata.

Thanks CSF!

Morata out
King out

Crouch in
Hazard in
(-4)

Ace2007

I don't even know who I would want to get in for Morata - 11m to spend on a striker - Austin maybe - but only got rid of him last GW.

Ace2007

getting tempted by bringing in Aguero and downgrading to Pickford - would be -8 though. having not got any minutes on Sunday you'd have to think Aguero will start v Swansea - that that could be city goal fest.

Lost as to what to do with Morata now.

One game out possibly. Depends how the rest of your team is shaping up.

ShaneU

Brought Lukaku in for Morata despite him looking like he's forgot how to kick a ball recently. At least he'll play 90 minutes every game.
