GW17 transfer thread

Have already moved out Raphina but I might actually take a hit to move out James. He's very frustrating now and can't really be benched.

Moved Kane out just after getting this weeks free transfer. He's spent way too much time in my team this season. Watkins has looked much more lively in the games I have seen so hoping he can start turning the work rate into goals and the move leaves me with 5.4mill in the bank to upgrade elsewhere. Guaita, Reece James and Gallager looking like the most likely players to get repaced at the moment but going to wait for the free transfers to become available to replace them.

Sissoko / ASM out

Bowen / Dennis in

Two form players coming in, giving me a strong front 8 for the Christmas rotation

Best Jiminez replacement?

Dennis and King the obvious but is Dennis' form sustainable? Not convinced on King tbh even with the underlying stats.

Watkins might be worth a punt, fixtures are okay but he hasn't done a whole lot. Ings maybe the fact that he's back.

Palace today might bring Benteke or Edouard into the mix.

Yep. Was planning Vardy out for Ronaldo but now.........

Spurs trained today, so you would expect that Spurs Leicester game to go ahead now.

I did Vardy out Ronaldo in to avoid price rise fall even before the Norwich game was played (on Saturday) could come back to bite me now.

Trent also has max bonus in the last 2 games. His creativity always keeps him in the hunt, even if he is not getting attacking returns.

I'd echo the above comments, take his price as a midfielder and you would easily pay it. 3nd highest scorer this season and got his rest the midweek just gone. He will also get a rest in the league cup game. I can't see him being rested in the league. Maybe 10 mins here and there if a game gets wrapped up.

On a cheaper level, I'd look at Dalot as a replacement for James. But be wary of the COVID situation with Man United first. And the AWB injury but from what I can see, the RB position is his to lose.

This might sound stupid but you're less likely for VVD to score a goal when Robbo plays. Robbo is on some of the Liverpool corners, and his delivery from corners has been very poor this season. Tsimikas' delivery is twice as good from corners.

But that is only on one side, and TAA is on the other side, where the threat is still high. VVD could well have scored at the weekend, from a TAA corner. And as you mentioned, he scored a game or two ago, again from a TAA corner, but it looks like maybe another will come sometime soon.

Robbo will never score a goal! He's the worst finisher at the club at the moment. Unless he is passing or crossing in the box, he doesn't know what to do and can't sort his shooting out.

All that said, the idea of double defence to somewhat neutralise the threat of TAA. You're still paying 13.6 for 2 players instead of 8.1 for 1. Double the CS points but also double the non CS if Liverpool do concede.

I'd nearly do TAA only, then VVD only, then VVD + Robbo, in that order if it was down to me. TAA + Cancelo is roughly the same as Robbo + VVD price wise but you're spreading the liability and still have attacking threat.

Dennis looks like he might rise tonight so given the deadline is Tuesday anyway I think I'll go from Wilson to him

James out. He has done nothing since I got him in and see no signs that will change anytime soon. Not sure who to replace him with as with Spurs, ManU and Villa all looking iffy due to Covid issues I suspect I will need to pick carefully to be able to field 11 players so it could be a deadline hour transfer.

Dunno what to do....Wilson out for Jesus maybe.

Or get rid of Mbeumo-Post for Gallagher?

Yeah, sounds like Sky just trying to drum up some drama.

I knew the risk so I still have Son and Regulion after making this week's transfer.

Holding for their quadruple gameweek.

Chelsea have started conceding goals. Steel is Steel. Livramento is now fantasy fodder with lots of better cheaper options. Jota has just had two blanks and missed a few sitters. Smith Rowe is injured. Gelhardt is an impact sub at best for now. Lots of potential switches.

1 point behind in my league - went King over Dennis this week which screwed me.

Any suggestions with 0.2m in the bank? Thinking something with Sissoko and Jesus.

The obvious changes would be Villa Watkins in for Jesus. Or Cash in for Alonso. Ramsey in for Sissoko. But with the Villa Covid question mark it would be best to wait.

Denis going to The AFCON is not a certainty.
