DGW 37 - Transfer Thread

Fitz*

A few doubles in this GW, and also one blank. Worth keeping an eye on the deadline too, as it's a very unusual time.

I was looking at Coutinho myself but he didn't really impress in tonight's game and didn't start Villa's last game. Both Ings & Watkins did impress though.

Chesty08

Free Hit Active

Pickford (Foster)

Robbo Cash Myko ( Castagne, Tsimi)

Son Mane Zaha Coutinho (Lookman)

Vardy Richy Watkins

Might go Buendia over Coutinho or Digne/Maddison for Robbo/Lookman

SkySter

Free Hit Active

Pickford (Steele)

Digne Cash TAA (Tsimikas Anderson)

Zaha Salah Son Gordon (Brownhill)

Kane Richarlison Watkins

Very early doors. Salah form a worry and he might become Diaz or Sane. Not quite sure on double Villa defence either. A lot will depend on the remaining games this week and who is in the FA cup teams.

Fitz*

Yeah at the moment I would go Diaz over Salah. Have to wait and see how the FA Cup final goes too, with potential for another extra time game there.

There is an advantage for the FH with the FA Cup game being before the deadline too. But it's another Saturday-Tuesday schedule and I think Liverpool looked tired last night.

dsmythy

Have the FH saved for this week and I'm underwhelmed.

How Soon Is Now

Depending on the gap between myself and 1st in my mini league im thinking of taking a gamble and going Salah Havertz and Weghorst to Son Zaha and Richarlison for a minus 8. Then I'll have 2.0 mil in bank to go maybe Coutinho to Diaz for final game.

I've had nothing over a minus four all season im not sure especially considering I need to make up points not lose them.

The alternative to double Villa defence is double strikers in Ings & Watkins.

I like Buendia, really lively last night & exceptional the weekend. He’ll feature in both games.

Depending on how Watford v Everton goes tonight there could be a scramble for Leivester players with 2 fixtures

Same here but think its a waste in GW38 as there'll be plenty of unpredictable teams named

Fitz*

Vardy hitting some form l, before he plays Watford.

extra gravy

Watkins might have picked up an injury, something to keep any eye on.

I'll probably do Havertz to Zaha with my ft.

Rikand

I have 15 DGWs in my team on the free hit.

Sure **** it, why not :D

macraignil

Bowen is up against Man City this week so thinking of swapping him out for Harvey Barnes.

Fitz*

Did Vardy go on a big scoring streak when the news of his wife's Instagram escapades hit the news? The course case is on now so there could be another streak coming.

Trimm Trabb

Would you have Maddison over a single game week player like Diaz on a free hit this week?

Is KDB a serious option now ahead of Salah or Kane?

Chesty08

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119051937#Comment_119051937

Yes I would have Maddison. Streaky player, nothing to play for & playing Watford who conceded double digit chances to Everton. Then play Chelsea who should have 3rd wrapped up when Arsenal don’t win tonight & then have the hangover of the Cup final.

Kane plays Burnley & Norwich. He really could get 5 goals in those 2 matches. Norwich are awful.

Bleating Lamb

Is it likely Robertson will be rested again by Pool after the FA Cup Final for this GW?…..Tsmikas is an able replacement and I think if Pool win the Cup Klopp will focus on Champions League final then…..

whitelightrider

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119051937#Comment_119051937

Im thinking the same thing. Its all going to depend on the FA Cup this weekend. If they win, then I think they'll focus on Champions League final, and rest Salah for that.

Chesty08

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119052273#Comment_119052273

Chelsea have 3rd place wrapped up & will do so v Watford at home last day of season

Id go Maddison

Shedite27

Free Hit for me this week

Martinez

TAA - Holgate - Cash

Son - Salah - Zaha - Gordon

Richarlison - Vardy - Watkins

The forwards pick themselves, all in form and have DGW's. Watkins may become Ings if injury confirmed.

For CS's Everton and Villa both play palace at home, Villas other game is V Burnley whereas Everton play Brentford so prefer Villas CS chance, hence double there.

Son/Salah/TAA are SGW players who I won't be moving for DGW'ers (maybe Salah to KDB/Mane).

Zaha always burns me but 2-in-2 and DGW.

Gordon may become Dewsbury-Hall

Father Hernandez

Anyone not on FH this week?

Currently have Weghorst and Dewsbury Hall as my doublers which isn't very inspiring but would like to keep the hits to a minimum as it seems man will be using their FH.

Team is

Ramsdale (Foster)

Robertson, Alonso, Cancelo (White, Schar)

Salah, Saka, Kulu, Havertz, Dewsbury Hall

Kane, Weghorst (Toney)

Thinking Schar & Havertz to Cash & Zaha for a -4.

Problem this GW is the SGW players are decent so benching someone will be tricky.

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119054987#Comment_119054987

I think the Man City game on Sunday might have an influence on the Liverpool line up on Tuesday. It's another Saturday-Tuesday schedule so it's a quick turnaround again. If Man City win or draw against West Ham, the title is basically done so I think Klopp will concentrate on the CL and rest players. But if West Ham win, then the league is still open and Klopp will have to go strong again. The thing is, this all happens after the deadline!

Nice pick, Vardy captain?

Fitz*

It's gonna be hard to leave out Kane & Son on FH after last night.

Fitz*

Actually, is it possible to benefit from price rises on FH? for example if you bring a player in at 7.5 and he rises to 7.7 in a couple of days, can you then move him on at 7.6?

machiavellianme

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119055700#Comment_119055700

Yes. But they are very rare occasions. Plus, if the player is rising that quickly, you probably want to keep them as it usually suggests form.

Schmeichel - (pope)

Mykolenko - cash - Anderson- (taylor) (roberts)

Maddison - coutinho - zaha - Gordon- (gallagher)

Watkins - vardy - richarlison(c)

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119055897#Comment_119055897

Do you need to keep so much funds in Pope when Schmeichel (Or Pope) will play twice? You could save over 1.0 by downgrading GK to fodder and upgrade someone else like Andersen to a 6.0

Miley Byrne

8 ahead in my main ML after being 40 ahead this time last week. I have already moved on Salah for Son. Was thinking of being aggressive and moving Laporte and Foden to D Sanchez and De Bruyne for a -8. Good idea or madness.

As it stands

Schmeichel (Sa)

Cash Alonso Robertson Matip (Laporte)

Mount Gallagher Foden Son Gordon

Kane (Pukki Dennis)

With a -8.

Schmeichel (Sa)

Cash Alonso Robertson Sanchez (Matip)

Mount Gallagher De Bruyne Son Gordon

Kane (Pukki Dennis)

Newbie20

Still tinkering around with the free hit. Latest draft is

Pickford (Foster)

Cancelo Matip Ait Nouri (Clyne Tsimikas)

KDB Son Maddison Zaha (Gordon)

Kane Richarlison Ings

I like the front 3 but possibly need to get rid of Ings, play Gordon and get Cash in in defence?

sheroman01

Do I play my bench boost now or next week? Kilman and Wilock are injured with Ramsey and Watkins flagged.

Guess I could take a -8 and take out Kilman Wilock and Ramsey. If I get DGW players I should gain.

Shedite27

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119056225#Comment_119056225

I had same dilemma, I'd love to have a dream-team from next week (all the big teams have nice fixtures) but you won't be able to afford all of them to max benefit. This week's ideal team is affordable, and can get you a lot of DGW's

Chesty08

FH hasnt changed since before Wednesday

Pickford

Cash Digne Mylokenko

Son Maddison Zaha KdB (placeholder)

Vardy Watkins (c) Richarlison

subs: Luis Diaz , Castsgne

Looks like money isn’t really an option.

Anything I should consider?

Rikand

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119056065#Comment_119056065

I've got 10m in the bank as it is. From the 5 teams that have doubles, there isn't really anyone more expensive and at this stage, I'm so far behind in all my leagues, I'm just having a bit of fun with it to finish the season off 😀

How Soon Is Now

Lads im just under 30 points behind 1st and 22 ahead of 3rd in my mini league would it be mental to take a -8 hit to bring in Zaha Son and Richy for Havartz Salah and Pukki???

dr.kenneth noisewater

Initial FH draft, like the midfield and attack but not sure on defence. Cant see many clean sheets for remainder of the season so focus on attacking FB's and avoid double defences

Schmeichel (Foster)

Holgate Cash Cancelo (Amartey, Hoever)

KDB Son Zaha Maddison (Gordon)

Kane Watkins Ricky

Chesty08

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119057398#Comment_119057398

Similar to my attack with the exception of Vardy over Kane.

*Watkins may become Ings now with the news today.

Can you not squeeze Mykolenko in over Holgate? Would you not try double Everton or Villa defence?

I’m tempted to start Castsgne, Leivester fullbacks is a minefield at the minute

sheroman01

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119056225#Comment_119056225

Ramsey seems fit.

I have 10.1m for a DEF + MID for Bench Boost.

Any thoughts?

Holgate + Trossard?

Ait-Nouri + Gallagher?

Chesty08

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119057947#Comment_119057947

My first thought & it’s 0.1 short. Mykolenko & Olise.

So Ramsey instead

mailburner

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119057073#Comment_119057073

Absolutely not, you'd be a brave man to hold onto them especially with doubles for zaha and richy

Havertz has been getting literally no game time, Salah will get very little game time this week with bigger games ahead and he's been

in terrible form anyway, norwich have two tough fixtures to finish

have richy and son, bringing in zaha this week

dsmythy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119057947#Comment_119057947

Trossard could strangle Leeds. I'd be tempted by him if I hadn't have squeezed my midfield with others.

dsmythy

Threw the first and who knows maybe only FH draft together. 1.1m in bank. No Liverpool

SCHMEICHEL*

Coleman* Anderson* Cancelo

Zaha* Maddison* KDB Sterling Son

Watkins* Ricky*

Sub: Foster Mateta* Sessegnon Jansson

Fitz*

First draft is

Pickford

TAA Mykolenko Cash Digne

Salah Son KDB Zaha

Ings Richarlison

Fodder

Which should see 18 players in theory

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119058800#Comment_119058800

Trossard a nice left field pick. He is in form.

bantee

Think I'm nearly set on this FH with a 3-5-2, only dilemma is to downgrade Salah for Zaha maybe and go 3-4-3 with a better 3rd striker:

Pickford

Amarty Cash Mykolenko

Salah Son KDB Maddison Luiz

Kane Richy

Steele Tsimikas Sanchez Richardson

Chesty08

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119059094#Comment_119059094

If your set on double Spurs & double LIV attack then I’d recommend Ings over Richy. I’m going Ings Captain. 2 home games!

Chesty08

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119056533#Comment_119056533

KdB is Salah & Watkins is now Ings.

Don’t think I’ll change any of it.

Bleating Lamb

Have already taken a - 8 hit to have this squad for BB

Allison Foster

Robertson Cancelo Coady Andersen Collins

Zaha (c) Trossard Son Kulu Saka

Toney Kane Werner

Took out

Salah for Son

Fraser for Trossard

Havertz for Zaha

*Imo City will at least draw v West Ham on Sunday so Klopp will then have to rest lads on Tuesday*

Realistically can’t see Robbo start Pool league game on Tuesday as Klopp will be concentrating on Champions League and think that likes of Richi or Nketiah will outscore Werner or Toney this GW anyway.

Am only 10 pts ahead of second in ML….but he has all chips used and got a monster score on BB last week.I’m confident of getting a decent BB score this week.

My extra -8 hit would probably be

Robertson to Mykolenko or Cash

Werner to Richarlison.

Appreciate thoughts on it…..I reckon both moves will see players make decent gains on the -4 hit for them .

Chesty08

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119059287#Comment_119059287

If City draw then it brings the league right back into it for Liverpool. City will need to win last day of the season or will lose the league

Liverpool won’t give up as long as 1 result can effect the outcome

Benimar

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119059610#Comment_119059610

Yeah, that’s what makes things so tricky. I fully expect City to beat West Ham by a few goals and then there will be rotation by Liverpool. But if City don’t win, then Liverpool will have to go full strength.

imagine City lose and Liverpool go into the Southampton game looking to make up (at least some of) a 6 goal difference, and not having Liverpool assets?! I suppose it’s not like Southampton have ever lost 9-0 :)

Chesty08

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119059654#Comment_119059654

Imagine not owning a Liverpool asset & them really going after the Southampton.

Its too risky &I think Klopp will play his 4-2-4 from the off (Firmino will play :) )

Trimm Trabb

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119059160#Comment_119059160

Vardy and Maddison are the two I’d query. Confident both start at Watford?

Theres enough time for recovery for Chelsea on Thursday but maybe they get benched so they are fit for final home game?

Maddison v Diaz/Jota v Coutinho is one I’m still mulling. If City win against West Ham the only way Liverpool can win league is for Villa to beat City and Liverpool to improve their goal difference by 10 v Southampton and Wolves. Is that minute possibility something Klopp will take seriously enough for them to go all out v Sou?
