Gameweek 9 transfers

Just seeing the Lukaku news now, thats really thrown a spanner in the works. Everyone eyeing up the Norwich fixture and now he looks out for sure. Easy shift to Vardy I suppose. He already rose this week and doesnt look like rising again tonight but might before deadline Friday. Will hold off and consider getting Son+cheap forward in instead

I brought Werner in after the weekends action and I felt it was inevitable he would hit the net against Norwich, much more liekly than Lukaku.

Last nights injury has put paid to that so I'm going to have to take a hit. Already Antonio and Jimi up front so may take a punt on Broja

With Lukaku out it looks like McArthur is my best option to replace him so considering taking a hit to replace McArthur with Raphina. Is it worth the -4 or would it be better to just use the hit to replace Lukaku with Wilson or Edouard?

Is anyone feeling Daka? Surely four goals is hard for Rogers to ignore even with Vardy being the top man.

Tempted into going Edouard instead of Vardy. I'm just not entirely convinced by Vardy even though I should be as he has the form. Is Edouard trying to be too smart?

Lukaku dropping and Vardy rising tonight so I pulled the trigger on that. Will decide on the hit tomorrow.

Had already brought in Cancelo and Vardy for Alonso and Ronnie on Sunday. Just brought in Kane for Lukaku leaving me with 2.1M ITB.

Have to admit it is wishful thinking that Lukaku might only miss the one game so taking my second hit of the season to replace him with Kane. I don't think Wilson and Edouard will be consistent enough scoring with some of their fixtures being fairly difficult over the next few weeks. Kane has been a slow starter in some other seasons so hoping now he has got his first premier league goal of this season last week that the floodgates open. Getting a cheaper striker would just have left a stupid amount of money in the bank and still have 2.9mill to make upgrades over the next few weeks.

Heads wrecked - 3 red flags + Saka, coupled with City/Chelsea defensive rotation issues has me trying to figure out the best approach. Vardy has the form, but is it late jumping onto that train? Wary about going for Nacho after Daka scored 4 during the week, last thing I need is another non-starter. Wilson could be option. May suck up the price rises and look at it again tomorrow - if Saka is defo out it's easier to move him on.

Brought him in and made him captain

Any love for Firmino at all at all at all???

Seems to be coming into a bit of form

You know what he could well be but I brought him in last night for Saka (even though I reckon Saka will play). The gambler in me was just too tempted by an out of position midfielder playing as a no.9 when Lukaku and Werner are injured. His numbers havent been great up until now but figure Chelseas goals have to come from somewhere (probably their defenders knowing my luck!) Im ready for the egg on face when it goes pear shaped but happy to take the punt for Norwich and Newcastle.

Also did Lukaku to Vardy but wish Id enough money for Kane, have that sneaking feeling his usual slow start to the season is now finally over and he should start hauling from here on in.

...

Already had Vardy so Lukaku back to Antonio was my transfer. The Son 'fake covid' shout last week is still stinging. I'd have had him on WC over Lukaku. I didn't fancy a -4 this week to rectify.

I’m strongly considering him, 8.8 seems a very fair price considering the way Liverpool are scoring and he looked very sharp the last day.

In a similar position (not liking taking hits). I've done Jota to Son. Son will play. I need 11 guaranteed starters this week.

I've held off on selling Lukaku so missed out on 0.1 and similar by not moving on Vardy. At the moment I have 11 starters but a couple of lads I don't really want in my team (including Benrahama but benching Shaw and Duffy this week).

If I take a -4 for Lukaku, is there anyone that will likely make that back for me this week. Apart from Salah at the moment, there's no one that's a must have in the game. Vardy is doing well but nervous of Brentford away. If I could have sold Lukaku for Havertz I might have done that for a -4 punt but can't obviously.

Still might take that -4 before the deadline though. Because I'm a big hypocrite 😂

Captain Havertz negates the -4, right?!
