GW 4 Transfers

rekluse

Thinking Ricky/Sessegnon out, Fraser/Pererya in, anyone any thoughts? Would leave me with 1.2 ITB.

Is there any chance Pep will give Aguero a rest?

Have a feeling himself and Bernardo Silva may start on the bench this weekend

Personally have a feeling that Bilva will be rested, but not Aguero.

Augero always tears it up against Newcastle , has a five goal haul and a hat trick in recent meetings. Can’t see him being rested and will be my captain this weekend.

Still mulling over taking a hit for Alonso....

My cunning alternative is starting PVA and Wan-B against Southampton and praying to the FPL gods for a double-cleanie

Mr. Guappa

It seems I'm facing the same conundrum as a few others - Do I take a hit for Alonso?

It would be PVA & Richarlison to Alonso & Fraser.
I think Fraser is a very viable final midfielder, and good value at 5.6. Tough fixture this week, but then a nice run up to and including GW10.
I feel like I need Chelsea cover, and Alonso provides that. Transferring out PVA seems unnecessary this week, but I've Wan-Bissaka too, and I can't see myself ever wanting to start both.

I've exact money for those moves, so would need to move tonight.

Yeah not a good sign that he's lining up with the 2nd string tonight either.

It's mad that the most nailed on Man City and Chelsea attacking threats (player that's likely to get goal/assist but not rotated) is their left backs.

I have Alonso. City & Chelsea have nice fixtures , Liverpool dont

i've 1.4 in the bank.

my next brainwave is:

Hoedt ----> Alonso
Richarlison ----> Knockaert

for a -4.

my team is:
Fabianski
Mendy Robertson WanB
Salah Mane Pedro Mkho Ricky
Zaha Aguero

Foster Hoedt Kamara Peltier

i can't decide if it's worth the hit. i'd be doing it as a blocker as much as anything as I don't want to risk an Alonso 15 pointer going against me. but is that me just being needlessly fearful?

Knockaert is an infuriating player to own. He looks dangerous but none of the Brighton play goes through him.

Currently have:
Foster Hammer
Mendy TAA Shaw WB Peltier
Salah Lucas Walcott Fraser Gunnarrson
Kane Aguero Zaha

Already got Theo for Rich.

The best option I see is:
Shaw > Alonso
Lucas > Kante

Not ideal getting rid of Lucas before he even plays. But having him and Kane may have been overkill, and I just can't get rid of King Harry.

Any other better options? Hard to ignore Alonso with two nice home games coming up.

Edit, I've 5.8 to replace Lucas if I do it before he rises tonight.

I've just noticed that I could do:

Shaw > Alonso
Salah > Hazard
-4

Chelsea have Bournemouth (H) & Cardiff (H)
Liverpool have Leicester (A) & Spurs (A)

I don't plan to go Salah-less for long, but short term could be a good option. Very difficult for me to get Alonso in otherwise, reluctant to move Kane on, but maybe I'm heart over head with that.

Am I mad to consider this?

I don't know why but I just can't pull the trigger on ricky to Walcott........i keep coming back to Townsend...........I may be being too smart for my own good .......I just think I'll probably end up moving Pedro on soon anyway and that could be fir Ricky again !

I really don't see the appeal of Walcott either. I think when Huddersfield come and put 10 men behind the ball he will struggle, he's much better on the counter. Having said that, not a huge fan of the alternatives at that price. Eyeing up Fraser, Moura or Pedro currently.

Have Fraser and Pedro
.1 short of Moura but was not sure I’d get him either with son back in one gameweek
Honestly I’ve been half thinking about keeping transfer and benching Ricky
Only thing stopping me is the int break giving so much more time for price drops
I’d love to have 2 FT after the break

What price do we expect Ricky to end up at? I'm keeping him anyway but got him for 6.5 so not too bothered if he goes to 6.4 or 6.3.

The way the drops are going he could end up at 6.0 by next Sunday morning, not this coming Sunday.

No, not mad. A touch crazy but not mad. Liverpools fixtures are tough for the next 5 weeks except gw5 and I'm considering Salah out to fund Kane in.

The good thing about Salah is everyone already has him so he's extremely unlikely to rise beyond 0.1 if at all, unlike last year.

That's also a bad thing
Everyone has him

i understand the appeal of going with no Salah.

from watching every game of his so far, my fear would be that once he clicks, you're fúcked if you don't have him. he's 2 goals and 2 assists in 3 games where, by all accounts, he's been well below par.

now there's always a chance that he exerted a lot last year, and at the World Cup, and he may never hit last year's heights again.

but he's getting the chances for Liverpool (bar the 2nd half against Brighton where the whole team, by Klopp's own admission, was poor). he could've had a couple more against West Ham. he could've had 2 easily, and possibly more against Palace, and he should've had another against Brighton. and these weren't half chances. they were chances he gobbled up last season.

also, Liverpool's structure is designed to get him in one-on-one positions as often as possible - either with the last defender or keeper. Mane, while dangerous too, is used far more as the force that breaks the defence, leaving Salah to shoulder the majority of the finishing.

Fixtures of the next 4 GW's. I think Mendy will outscore him by more than 4 points and no point jumping on in the middle of the run. Still have wildcard there and plan to reshape team with both soon after this

In between minds today on what to do with Ricky, might just take the .1 profit and strengthen my defence.

Hoedt -> Alonso
Ricky -> ??? 4.4 mil mid

Bench fodder TBH for 4.4.

Højbjerg looks to be the only real option at 4.4.

Very limited options alright, has to be him.

Minutes played ranking for the 3 4.4£ MF players who have featured so far this season:

Højbjerg / SOU / 76 mins

Maitland-Niles / ARS / 34 mins

McTominay / MUN / 14 mins

Gunnarson (Car) could be worth considering as well. When he's back from injury he must have a good chance of getting in the team

Yep. He should play after international break. Still think he was one of the best 4.5 options. I'll probably have to keep him on wildcard and hope to get my 0.1 back at some stage before DGW season!

So what you're saying is that he's efficient.
