GW 15 Transfer Thread

Think the thread title needs an update to add 15?

Have real FOMO of Kane and Son this evening. If either of them returns I'll probably try and bring them in.

Looking at:

Sarr to Son, Vardy to Dennis

or

Antonio to Kane, Vardy to Dennis

Think I'll be doing Jimi to Dennis myself but missed the price rise last night. Wolves fixtures are awful from here and if they couldnt score against Burnley they'll struggle against Liverpool, City, Brighton and Chelsea in the next four.

It would mean Mbuemo survives yet another week but after Spurs he does have Leeds and Watford so will probably hold him through that to see can he hit the bar instead of the post or something.

The alternative is to take a -4 and upgrade him now to Gundogan but he didnt even make the squad last night so there could be an injury we dont yet know about. Maddison another on the watchlist as he has clearly hit form and faces Villa, Newcastle, Spurs and Everton in the next four, all teams he could get a return against. He's only 6.7m as well. Will wait to see how Son gets on tonight first though

Id only go Dias if you already have Cancelo, his output is only just below Trents and even at 6.7m he is still undervalued compared to TAA who is now at 8.0m.

Theres not much around for 7.2m in midfield, ESR, Saka, Bowen & Gallagher. Maddison is definitely in form as well, 26 points in his last two games. A Hammer mate told me Bowen had three decent chances last night and fluffed them all. But he is getting in good positions, certainly a lot better than Antonio lately anyway.

yeah I think City conceeding is a blip by their standards and they were keeping a clean sheet v West Ham until that 95th minute Lanzini thunderbolt. You'd hope of their next 6 fixtures they can deliver 3-4 CS which would make the double up worth it as Cancelo is likely to have attacking returns on top and Dias could chip in with another goal from a corner.

Have never owned Maddison myself but he does seem a player who thrives on confidence. Im considering him as a Mbuemo upgrade for the the next 4 GWs but havent looked into his stats or heatmap yet to see if he is just on a lucky streak.

So on Bowen, I saw him being recommended on Reddit as having a high xG figure over the last few gameweeeks.

He seems to be getting chances, but not taking them. Is he just a crap finisher?

Messi/Ronaldo/Son always seem to outperform their xg - this guy is underperforming his in a big way. Going on the MOTD highlights he didn't do a good job with the chances.

Might upgrade one of my keepers

Guaita or Fernandez to Ramsdale

Rage Transfer Gundogan out for Maddison or Bernardo...

He has been a crap finisher lately as he should have scored at least one of his three chances last night, he would normally have done better than that. That said WH are creating a fair few chances and he has been getting into positions Id normally expect Antonio to be in. So once WHs fixtures swing after Chelsea at the weekend he might be an option.

I might do Kane back to Ronaldo, don't even care that he has Norwich next.

There is not many options at the 5.5m mark. Everton are getting players back gradually - Townsend could spark again. But West Ham have great fixtures and I seem to remember Soucek was in flying form this time last Christmas.

Personally I would sell Antonio in your position. He is likely to be rested over the Christmas schedule.

Took my first hit of the season. Vardy and Jimenez out for Ronaldo and King. I wanted the latter even though he has a rotten fixture this week.

Thinking of swapping one frustration to another. Vardy to Auba. Auba's underlying stats aren't actually that bad despite 5 blanks in a row. Fixtures OK too.

But I haven't seen him play. Has he looked any use to the eye? Unlucky or rubbish?

Agreed, value is hard to find especially with the classification of some players. I’ve been looking at Sancho myself but fear he could be assisting the assister.

As a wildcard Fred interesting after his mini haul last night. He will play slightly more advanced than under Ole.

Will either bank or take a hit.

Front line of Hwang, Wilson and Antonio....can go Anto to Jesus and Hwang to Mr.Fodder.

Also have Mbeumo :-(

Actually think there's a good chance he could be dropped. Martinelli was good last night and might get a chance through the middle soon.

Sold Antonio 2 weeks ago. Thankfully no regret yet.

I'm 0.1 short for Benrahma to Foden. But have enough for Jota though. Probably the safer bet of the two at the moment. Or, Bilva?? Argh.

Actually might go Anto to Jesus and Mbeumo to D.Luiz for a hit.....is that worth it??

Banking seems sensible and also seems risky this week 🙈🤡
