Gameweek 16 - Transfer Thread

I'd expect a reaction from Chelsea against Leeds and there could be a lot of space to exploit. Not going to move Alonso on just yet unless there's a strong suggestion his place is under threat.

Alonso to Regullion very likely

Son & White to Bernardo & Dias for no hit.

Too knee jerky?

City have a nice few fixtures coming up and feels like they'll put together a few results.

Have Cancelo already. Son doesn't have a great output for his price atm.

Good moves imo. Cancelo just doesn't feel like enough for cover for their nice fixtures.

From experience of owning Walker earlier this season, only own him if you have Cancelo as well.

Wolves had the lowest amount of shots by any PL team this season (3), with only 1 on target. Combined total of 0.13 XG. That would not give much hope for any of their attackers going forward over their next games.

At the same time, it does open up the question about double Liverpool defence. But that's hard when you already own TAA & Salah.

Not sure what to do.

Toney out would be a good chance to get rid

Would like to upgrade Dias to Cancelo but worried about the 4 yc

Banking it might be a long term option also

Kane to anyone

Omg Harry Kane, get the **** out of my team you useless bastard and it will be a dark day before you ever darken my door again

Kane owners really have had a torrid time, lots of money tied up in blank after blank. At least there are some good options in midfield to spread the money around. Bamford would be an option to replace Kane but he has awful fixtures for the next 4. Going to Lukaku right now would be another punt similar to Kane hoping he comes good soon. If Watkins gets something here he might be a decent option.

Mbeumo did get an assist today - there is always a bright side. At least selling Kane gives you lots of options.

yeah Raph to Bowen seems like a no brainer unless you're willing to play Raph against the four best defences in the league. Im sure he will get something somewhere but his next few fixtures are as hard as it gets. With Bowen Im just hopng his recent form isnt exclusively vs good teams, WH have beaten Liverpool and Chelsea in the last four with Bowen playing great in both games but they also lost to Wolves one nil and drew with Brighton in that time. Hopefully though this run of favourable WH fixtures will see Bowen outscore Raph over the next few weeks, I think its worth the punt.

With Gallagher I read the reason he is playing deeper is becasue McArthur is injured, not sure for how much longer though. Theres also Eze who is still coming back from injury and just got a few minutes today, him returning proper could limit Gallagher arrivng late into the box.

I got rid of Mbeumo for Bernardo and even though Mbeumo got an assist today Im still glad to be done with him. But Im fully expecting some Pep roulette on Bernardo at some stage with Douglas Luiz coming in for a likely 2 pointer. But Bernardo hauled 15 points yesterday so its worth the risk for Citys good fixture run, there has to be a few 3-0's and 4-0's in their upcoming games.

Mbeumo to Fred.

A sentence I'd never thought I'd write but life comes at you fast these days.

Haven't seen Man Utd lately really....are Fred's returns just some sort of freakish anomaly or is has his role/performance level changed somehow?

Kane to Lukaku

Then Alonso to Cancelo for -4 is staring at me. Cant afford any price changes on this and also perma-burned on Pep Roulette

From what Ive read King has better underlying stats in terms of shots on goal but its been Dennis who has bagged actual points lately. iirc King is on penalties so a slight advantage there but not much given how few are being awarded this season compared to last. Also its being speculated that Dennis might get a call up for Nigeria for AFCON. I dont think he has ever played for them before but if his form continues it'll be hard for the national team to ignore him so he could be gone for 3 weeks at the end of December.

One thing that was highlighted on MotD was how high up the pitch Utd were pressing without the ball. Even at one stage when Palace had possession, all Utd's outfield players were still camped in the Palace half trying to win it back. You'd imagine with that style of play that the likes of Fred/McTominay & the defenders would have a much greater goal involvement. Conversely, it also makes them much more vulnerable to the counter-attack.
