Will wait for news on Lei v Tot as have Vardy and Reguilon.

extra gravy · 11-12-2021 6:04pm

May move Wilson on. Had planned to bench him this week but Cancelo suspension put paid to that.

Fitz* · 11-12-2021 6:19pm

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.

dahat · 11-12-2021 6:52pm

Adam Armstrong out.

Looking at Richarlson which scares me really.

macraignil · 11-12-2021 9:36pm

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.

yeah Wilson out is my likely move, his fixtures are awful with Liverpool, City and United in the next three. Will likely go to Dennis as its hard to ignore that kind of form and he has 3 okay fixtures ahead

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118306276#Comment_118306276

That Raphinha haul stung a bit today but Im telling myself that Leeds wont get a penalty every game. Have James myself and the fear of selling him is that he hauls soon. He is a right headache as Chelseas defence has now let in 8 goals in their last 3 games and Ive got Alonso as well. Meanwhile Rudiger got two assists today and is quietly racking up points, he now has more than James.

Have a look at Benteke in the same game tomorrow

He has Southampton with Caballero in nets next. Targeting Southampton while he's in nets could pay off, he was flapping at everything today.

Shedite27 · 12-12-2021 10:49am

Sissoko / ASM out

Bowen / Dennis in

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

Xander10 · 12-12-2021 1:23pm

Hopefully there is some confirmation on the Leicester v Spurs game before Tuesday's deadline.

Father Hernandez · 12-12-2021 1:34pm

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.

dsmythy · 12-12-2021 5:10pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118308849#Comment_118308849

Benteke and Eduoard are sharing time at the moment. Stunts both as they sub for each other.

dr.kenneth noisewater · 12-12-2021 5:19pm

ASM to Watkins and Raphinha to Bowen for -4 was the plan but now tempted to get Ronaldo for -8.

ASM/Alonso/Raphinha to Ronaldo/Williams/McGinn is what I'm thinking

KurtBarlow · 12-12-2021 5:19pm

How could I improve upon this

Mendy

Steel

Cancelo

James

Trent

Alonso

Livemento

Salah

Bernardo

Jota

Bowen

Smith Rowe

Ronaldo

Dennis

Gelhardt

F1ngers · 12-12-2021 5:19pm

Think I have to get rid of Vardy regardless.

Fitz* · 12-12-2021 5:37pm

Man Utd COVID outbreak.

gammygils · 12-12-2021 5:49pm

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

dahat · 12-12-2021 5:58pm

Aston Villa in trouble with Covid now as well.

Fitz* · 12-12-2021 6:44pm

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

sheroman01 · 12-12-2021 7:10pm

Possibly another hit.

Vardy + Gundog to Ronaldo + Gilmour.

I’ll then bring in Reguilon or Coufal the week after, and go 4-3-3.

Will obviously need to assess the United Covid problem

AlmightyCushion · 12-12-2021 7:37pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118310828#Comment_118310828

This has me thinking of keeping Vardy. Spurs might have a pretty poor team out and Vardy has been rested so should start.

caviardreams · 12-12-2021 7:54pm

Thinking of shipping Reece James out - is TAA worth 8.1 now or have I missed the boat? VVD at 6.6 looks appealing and I fear the value has gone from TAA at his current price - struggling to pay over 8 for a defender!

Reguilon after the Liverpool game is also a contender

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.

gormdubhgorm · 12-12-2021 8:06pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118311249#Comment_118311249

Liverpool have been going good defensively so could do worse than VDD. I have Davies lined up from gw19 - gw21

But In your shoes I would go James out Cash in.

F1ngers · 12-12-2021 8:48pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118311342#Comment_118311342

It would have been Vardy to Ronaldo - may hold now.

Muahahaha · 12-12-2021 8:48pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118311249#Comment_118311249

Trent definitely worth the 8.1, he is the leading defender by a fair margin and he has outscored all the forwards in the game and has also outscored every single midfielder except for Salah. If he were a forward or a midfielder 8.1m would look like a bargain for the points he returns. For me anyway he is a season long set and forget barring injury. I wouldnt struggle to pay his price as a defender becasue not owning when so many do is a threat to your rank.

Fitz* · 12-12-2021 9:16pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118311249#Comment_118311249

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.

SteelyDanJalapeno · 12-12-2021 9:39pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118310357#Comment_118310357

Haha what a flex...

Great team

12-12-2021 9:44pm

Jota/Chalobah out

Trent/Maddison in

-4

I couldn't afford Chalobah and Cancelo on the bench when my other option is Locadia who has less minutes than me this season. No sign of Chalobah coming back in the near future and Reguilon has a decent set of fixtures and those games in hand so could hardly get rid of him. Trent is the obvious defender and a standout all around and worth the 8 million, especially considering the midfield/forward alternatives.

It was between Mané and Jota, unfortunately. Given how my recent transfers have gone I suspect a Jota hat-trick against Newcastle.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118311249#Comment_118311249

Thinking the same but after their game with toffees. Thinking of VVD and Robbo as differentials against TAA.

Does it make sense to have Salah, VVD and Robo when a lot of teams have (only) Salah and TAA..

Twice the chances of assists and clean sheets. VVD proved this two weeks ago scoring against Southampton and matter of time for Robbo to score.

Defenders giving good value this season.

Going 'Kim K' this year

Fitz* · 12-12-2021 11:04pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118312076#Comment_118312076

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.

Chesty08 · 12-12-2021 11:26pm

I’ve done another -4 and gone for

Gundo -> Foden

Wilson -> Benteke

Muahahaha · 12-12-2021 11:50pm

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

Dubh Geannain · 13-12-2021 12:21am

So many choices of who to get rid of.

Jesus (2 goals this season),

ASM (3 goals this season) or

Benteke (only started 1 in the last 4 games)

So few choices of who to replace them with. Has to be Dennis.

ASM next 2 fixtures are scary so he's getting the boot.

touts · 13-12-2021 2:39am

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.

Father Hernandez · 13-12-2021 10:46am

Jiminez to Dennis

Team is alright for this week before we hear any more news of covid outbreaks, matches off, etc so no hits planned.

Question is who to start from White, Antonio, Raphinha.

Started Raph at the weekend and got lucky at the expense of James. Antonio has done fúck all recently but it'd be typical for me to start White, bench Antonio and then he hauls.

Cartman78 · 13-12-2021 10:49am

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

Or get rid of Mbeumo-Post for Gallagher?

Fitz* · 13-12-2021 10:56am

Sky reporting that no Man Utd players have reported for training this morning.

I wonder have they considered that Man Utd might be training in the evening time, ahead of an evening game?

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

Holding for their quadruple gameweek.

Dempsey · 13-12-2021 11:54am

Wilson -> Dennis

Gundogan to Bernardo/Maddison for -4 to fix a rot?

OwlsZat · 13-12-2021 11:59am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118310357#Comment_118310357

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.

gormdubhgorm · 13-12-2021 12:03pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118313460#Comment_118313460

I can't take SKY seriously at all. They are like a parody station at this stage. If it is not a 'heated' discussion on youtube it is LIVE - EXCLUSIVE. Or interviewers asking leading questions in players interviewers. Even worse if the English of the player is minimal.

Reading between the lines the reporter is speculating with damn all concrete info. Using words like 'strangely'.

I think like you imply it bodes well for the Man United v Bradford game going ahead if at all possible. The PL won't want any more cancellations (if possible) as they will have to end up extending the season.

Plus isn't there a rule that if a club has 14 or so players available they have to play the game?

dazzday · 13-12-2021 12:16pm

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.

gormdubhgorm · 13-12-2021 12:27pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118313755#Comment_118313755

ESR is due back soon. The Jota one is a bit of conundrum because he is capable of getting big fpl scores. But seems very inconsistent.

Things can change very quickly - look at Gallagher for example - the narrative was he was playing a bit deeper and losing out on some set pieces. He had scored in gw12-15 he had scored 5,2,1,2 in those games. Now he gets 15 points and he is suddenly flavour of the month again.

I would agree with you on Livramento. In future gameweeks I am going to try and get Davies in for him. To have that cheap Spurs option ready. I agree with you on Gelhardt the OP might as well get Locadia. As Bielsa is going to use Gelhardt sparingly. James is ahead of him in the pecking order and Bamford/Rodrigo are waiting to get fit.

gormdubhgorm · 13-12-2021 12:29pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118313835#Comment_118313835

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.

dahat · 13-12-2021 1:28pm

Armstrong out

Pukki in

Need to find a way to get Ronaldo asap as his ownership is rising fast.

trigger26 · 13-12-2021 1:29pm

Denis will be heading off for African cup after Xmas, have been meaning to change pukki out for him the last month but feel I've missed boat now

13-12-2021 1:41pm

Really flirting with the idea of playing triple captain with Salah.

I have been royally screwed by it the last 2 seasons when I have waited for double game weeks, I had Mane on that famous DGW where he went off injured after 13 mins in the first game and that was the end of that!

Am I an idiot here?
