GW3 Transfer thread

Tsimikas at the exit door. He’s only at 22% to the second rise so would probably need some goal involvement to get some knee jerk transfers and be able to bank some money. All eyes on the other 4.0 starters.

Very kneejerky at the moment with the Mahrez news but looking at 2 FT's this week.

Tsimikas & Mahrez out - Jota + 5.5 DF in.

Will pull the trigger depending on price changes.

Any suggestions?

Already have TAA, Shaw, Ayling, Livramento.

No one jumping out at me.

Hopefully anyone thinking of it holds off for a few days, he's well off a rise but rising fast all the same.

Surely the casuals get him a rise to gain 0.1 for us? Fingers crossed it happens anyway.

Think I'll keep him as third sub, any future injuries and he'll be back in. Won't be spending money upgrading that position and don't see the sense in swapping him for another 4m player. Not wasting a transfer on a cheap defender just to gain .1m

I'll wait for Tsimikas to rise which is likely to happen quickly then transfer him out for Brandon Williams who should be joining Norwich before the end of the week.

Initial thoughts are Gundogan and Toney to Mbeumo and DCL, but will await more info on potential quarantine of Salah and Raphinha

Duffy just scored for Brighton, might be a good direct Tsimikas replacement if he can nail his place down, he is 4.0m

Toney to Dennis for me. One looks likely to score, the other looks likely to drop.

In a similar boat but I’m gonna hold Tsimikas & sell Manquillo.

No one really jumping out at me.

Perhaps just do a boring Manquillo -> Duffy and bank a transfer going into the IB

Anyone coming from Egypt to Uk is supposed to quarantine for 10 days. Same with any country on red list.

I'm sure there will be exceptions made or a lot of players will conveniently pick up a minor injury stopping them going away for internationals.

But there are no exceptions at the moment and it’s why some teams were missing players at start of season cause they missed training. Should the rule be different cause it’s Salah?

With many players not vaccinated, the UK government are not going to start handing out exceptions for millionaire footballers. It might change in general, but who knows.

As for picking up “ little niggles”, fairly sure international teams have the right to have their doctor check a player over.

As Liverpool prevented Salah going to the Olympics, they would want to be careful about angering the Egyptian FA anymore.

Toney out but not sure who to bring in.

Was thinking similar myself but saw the MOTD highlights v Palace and he had two headers both of which he should have scored. Obviously he didnt but he was getting in good positions and they are finding him so it should just be a matter of time.

Veltman, White and Tsimikas all problems

Covid...

think it's probably best to wait until the transfer window closes, let's say you bring him in, or play WC to get him in and then Kane ends up at City, or even if Kane stays at Spurs - you'd probably want to be bringing him in. Chances are Lukaku isn't on penalties either - so would you have both Rom and Kane, or be picking one of them?

In a bit of a quandary...

Currently have Tsimkas, White & Target

White Covid19 so likely missing next week

Target dropped this week

Tsimkas, Robertson looks like he'll be back next week...

Was looking at Duffy, but is he going to keep his place? Also looked at Livmento(Southampton) today and he looked very dangerous but his not a some in

So many options. Have 2 FTs. Maybe Son in for Mane. Then bring in Lukaku the week after with my 2FTs.

It would be harsh if Duffy loses his spot after his last two performances and scoring a goal. Ive the opposite problem, have Veltman coming back from Covid but dont think he starts above Duffy, at least not for the next game. Who knows what Potter will decide after that

Cavani will be back after the international break & Sancho will be starting on the right. Both will eat into Greenwood’s playing time for me.

Not sure White is a sell tbh. Once he's back for Norwich in week 4 which is 3 weeks away he's fine to keep?

It's not a one GW decision though, what about the other GW's?

Going to get Duffy for Tsimikas, then surely one of him /Veltman starts

2FT and my 4.0 mil defenders are the only ones causing problems. I think I'll hold onto Tsimikas until GW4/5 and see how things go. I also have Amartey but might ship him out for Duffy.

Won't be bringing in Lukaku just yet. Tricky fixtures upcoming and every one of my strikers has scored in both gameweeks.

AWB was a little gamble of a United defensive double up to start, hasn't worked and he's up for the chop. Shaw mightn't be worth the 5.5 based on his first two games either, he was very poor today. Dier is a good shout, just fancied the attacking threat of Reguilon for the extra 0.5.

Antonio is my only striker, have went with a 5-4-1 so far and it has worked out well.... For now anyway. It's risky and I'll eventually downgrade ESR to allow a cheap playing striker.

Sanchez (Steele)

TAA, Tsimikas, Shaw, Coufal, AWB

Salah, Bruno, Son, Mount (ESR)

Antonio (4.5, 4.5)

It's going to be very hard to fit in all the premiums, getting on the right ones is going to be key this year and it may involve rotating them in/out more than usual imo.
