GW 11 - Transfers

dahat

Auba gone, Vardy in, no foks given for price changes or losses. He just needed to be gone.

Pete_Cavan

Is double Leicester defence a mad idea? Need a Boly replacement and having gone through the full list of defenders, Leicester players have both the form and fixtures and have actually been keeping CSs. Good fixtures for the next seven GWs is hard to pass up, particularly when very few are keeping CSs with any regularity.

I have Pereira and thinking about getting Chilwell too. Have Maddison too so obviously two defenders means no more Leicester mids or Vardy but the full backs provide plenty of attacking points potential plus the CSs.

Are there any other defenders worth owning?

People are aware vardy has a game midweek right ?
Who am I kidding . And it won’t matter anyway
I waited till after press conferences Friday to sign a lad with a broken fuxkin ankle

If he gets injured and misses the game he will still likely get more than Auba next weekend.

But then you have another transfer to spend the week after
My patience has been punished for weeks now on various ways so just ignore me anyway

Green&Red

He also has one goal in the last two GWs

elefant

CWilson and Kelly out, Connolly and Mendy in.

Wilson has been very disappointing. I don't think I've ever owned him at the right times, and fear he's going to punish me for not keeping the faith, but it's hard to justify nearly 8 million on a striker in a team that hasn't scored in 3 games (and Arsenal, Norwich and Watford of all defences).

Am on my worst run ever in FPL. Started brilliantly. At one point after the first day in GW2 I was 300 in the world. Now sitting below 700k. Was top of the work league by 50. Now 50 points off the top. Every decision I’ve made has been the wrong one (Aguero, Wilson, Aurier). Debating mini wildcard at this point.

Current team is
Pope Heaton
TAA Kelly Otamendi Lundstram Dunk
KDB McGinn Maddison Mane Cantwell
Abraham Vardy Wilson

Have already done Aguero to Vardy (glad I held off on that transfer last week). Debating Cantwell to David Silva for a -4. Or Wilson to Connolly and McGinn to Sterling for a -8. Defence is a car crash but no one jumps out as a must have. Going to wait for midweek before making any other changes.

Just wondering what would you do in my shoes. Burn it to the ground? Or slow and steady avoiding hits?

Only way I get martial in is to downgrade Kane to Vardy. Probably worth it but Kane is still the best finisher in the league.

in 85 mins of play yesterday, spurs had 1 attempt on target, and that was Kane's header after 48 seconds. No point being the best finisher, if your in a team that is not making much attempt to score.

Kane isn't even the best finisher in his team. He won't get many from midfield.

My first hit of the season

King ---- Vardy
Aubam ---- Firmino
Mane

KDB

Not sure about Kane to Vardy being a downgrade, also, have a look at Vardy's upcoming fixtures.

Firmino is interesting/strange move given his form, and possibility of Salah being injured.

Probably wilson and Cantwell to Connolly and Martial and a move to 352.

Yeh but I wanted KDB.

It was either Sterling to KDB. Or Mane to KDB.

Given the thrashing Soton got I opted for both KDB and Sterling.

If Sterling blanks against I'll likely be getting rid but wanted the double up for the Soton game.

Cantona's Collars

I think I'll bank barring an injury in the league cup games. Nobody stands out and I feel I'll be making a change just for the sake of it.
Getting rid of Aguero before a home game to saints would leave me terrified of what he might do......if he plays. He can put up a big score to make up for the couple of weeks he didn't start.Moving him to another striker would be counter intuitive. I already have Vardy and Abraham.

Charles Leclerc

Doherty out, Dunk in.
Wilson out, Vardy in.

Will deal with Aguero after Southampton game.

nullObjects

Couple of weeks too late but probably Pukki out.
Although he has Watford after this week so I might just hold if I've a fire to put out

They've gotten a couple of clean sheets in the last 3 I think.

BullBlackNova

Anyone have any defensive tips/hunches/must haves?

I'm dropping Otamendi - should never have signed in the first place - and looking to upgrade a midfielder. So will probably have up to 5.5 for a new defender but can't see many obvious candidates. Already have Pereira, Lundstram, Tomori and Kelly.

Thinking of going from King to Connolly too which I can invest in the middle - Cantwell to Tielemans, maybe?

It's just the defence I'm not sure on!

Shedite27

Considering Mount - Martial. Not particualry unhappy with Mount, think Martial could have some nice scores in him in the next few weeks. Also have 3 Chelsea plaing which seems overkill.

Also still have Otamendi so considering Mendy in for him.

km79

Twice in last 6 months I’ve signed martial for shot only for him to get injured straight away
Once without even playing
And yet here I am again
On the brink .........
I’ll prob wait a week though

All of my transfers were from teams with good games in gw12 but I had ignored united
Prob best to see how they do this weekend first
I’ll bank ......

Otamendi to Lascelles of Newcastle for example could free up 1.1mill at current prices. Was considering getting him in last week but have missed his ten pointer for scoring against Wolverhampton by delaying the move.



Taking a hit myself this week and selling van Dijk and McGinn for Chilwell and Pulisic. Could have gone for Martial who also looks likely to rise in price soon. No reason to have money tied up in defenders who are not earning points in my opinion. I think it's better to have more invested in attacking players the way the season is going so far.

Matip is out 6 weeks, could have Lovren at 5.3 for a few weeks

Porthallian

I have gone from 400k down to 1.4m OR in the past 2 weeks. Team in absolute freefall! Scores of 30 and 34 have crippled me.
Current team:

Pope/Stek
Otamendi Tomori Lowton Lundstrom Boly
Sterling Pepe Mount Guendozi D.Luiz
Auba Kun C.Wilson

1ft. 0.6m itb. Wildcard already played.

Any advice before I just give up for the season?

Pighead

Thinking of getting Lovren in to replace Otamendi. Is he nailed on for a place in the team in the absence of Matip or is there a chance Gomez gets some minutes as well?

No Liverpool players? :eek:

You need rid of Auba and Kun, too much money tied up on two guys who aren't getting points. I'm leaving Kun for the Southampton game, then he's gone.

I take it you're an Arsenal fan?

Changed Salah to Pepe as he was injured and wasn't sure about Mane. Would need to rejig to get one of those 2 back in now.

No, I'm a United fan. I just liked the look of Arsenal's fixtures and before GW 8 Auba was in great form.

I saw Guendozi as a decent enabler for 4.5. Had him since GW1. Pepe was a punt this week that went wrong.

Probably downgrade Auba to Vardy this week.

I have the exact money for Auba/Pepe to Vardy/Mane.
But it's a -4 and I fear I'll be punished for getting rid of the 2 Arsenal big guns.

Have other fires to put out also re: Boly and Otamendi

Tusky

Have had a couple of bad weeks so could use some advice. Have 2 free transfers.

Ederson - Button

Soyuncu - Rovertson - Tomori - Lundstram - Simpson

Salah - De Bruyne - Mount - McGinn - Cantwell

Jiminez - Aguero - Abraham

Thinking of doing Augero -> Vardy and Salah -> Mane. And then next game week Ederson -> cheaper keeper (maybe Gazzaniga?) and Mount -> Sterling.

I know Leicester have great fixtures, and I know Vardy has scored loads, but just listening here and 5 of Vardys goals have come in games where the opposition where down to 10 men, and they have lost the last 4 games at Palace.

If it wasnt for the price rises, I dont see the rush to get him in

gammygils

Still have Pukki and Ceballos to offload. Will hold off in case flagged players don't unflag

I bought him Saturday, but can see your point. He got a hattrick starting when the team were 4-0 up and down to 10.

On the flip side, he's the only striker in a team scoring loads with a nice run of fixtures. And they're ruthless too, no letting up when they are a few goals ahead, great sign for a Fantasy Football player.

Oh absolutely, and he could kill Arsenal, but those two games aside where the teams where down to 10, they dont actually score loads.

that said great run of fixtures - and his 2019 record as a whole is great. I just dont think he will score vs Palace (quote me when he gets three )

I don't understand why you think you're more likely to get punished by Arsenal than Liverpool.

Because every time I take a player out he starts performing, regardless of team. Just can't get a single decision right this season.

Notable examples include TAA, Sterling, Kane, Rico, Abraham

I advise everyone else to get Auba/Pepe in this week.
Thank me later.

Auba/Pepe to Vardy/Mane it is.

Boly/Otamendi can go next week

Is there a reason nobody is talking about Cancelo at 5.3, 9 and 6 points in last 2 games.

Is he to be dropped?

Must be worried about Walker. Cancelo might have robbed the number one spot but can't be sure.

If Aguero starts tonight I am doing him to Vardy right away before Vardy rises.

eh i dunno

Aguero starts and so does jesus. Sterling not in squad
