Gameweek 19 Transfer Thread

Hold!!!

Yep, ignore till Sunday morning to let any cancellations play out

Think I'll roll this week but it might mean playing with 10. Will have to start looking at the Chelsea situation for January, they run into tricky fixtures starting with Liverpool, City, Spurs before they then blank for two game weeks in a row due to the Club World Cup. So Im thinking of getting off them before the Liverpool & City fixtures as they dont return to the PL until February 19th.. Also waiting to see what Salahs situation is, he is likely to miss at least two gameweeks.

Yeah I looked at the team I would like around gw25. Everton nice run of fixtures soon. Will be a lot of changes. Tempted by DCL soon as he is fit.

Made an early transfer last week (by early I mean the night before the deadline) and got burnt. Took a hit for Foden also which didn’t work so a bit wary of transfers right now

I don’t have Cancelo so that’s looking like my transfer at the moment, but waiting for news like everyone else

yeah he can be streaky but with a lack of good forward options Im considering getting him straight away for his return.He wont be fully match fit but he does have good aerial threat from corners and set pieces and should be on penalties too. Ive Lacazette in that spot and after watching him v Leeds decided he is very much a sticking plaster until the return of DCL or Bamford. Possibility for Ings too but already have Watkins so not that keen on a double up.

Call me mad, but.

Is there scope for this GW to look into a Salah plan, pre-AFCON.

Currently, he has 3 more GWs before AFCON. Leeds at home being very attractive, but the Leicester & Chelsea away. If they go ahead. That Leicester game may be the midweek round of fixtures that gets postponed across the whole PL. If it does go ahead, there is 2 games in 3 days so there is possibilities for mass rotation there too. He might get 2 starts but they both might be 60 mins games. If the dates for the AFCON move, he will also miss the Chelsea game.

I bought at 12.5 and currently is 13.1 so I can sell at 12.8. He might get sold a lot during AFCON which could see him fall back to 13.0 or 12.9 ish. So I would only 'lose' 0.1 or 0.2 but gain a player.

A window to get KDB/Sterling/Bruno in, and Tsimikas too while he is nailed at 3.7.

It's basically hoping that Salah has an off day against Leeds, or doesn't go too mad at the least and then covering yourself for the other 1 (or 2 if it goes ahead) fixtures.

Those postponements and hits have screwed me and now I'm here, out of frustration!

Maybe I'm just getting sucked in by the Tsimikas 3.7 and needing a Liverpool spot.

Maybe it's better suited to GW20 and beyond. We'll have more clarity on postponements etc later today and this week anyways.

If GW20 is postponed Tsimikas 3 games will be the Carabao Cup, Leeds and Chelsea. Not sure he’s worth freeing up a Liverpool spot for him, and even less sure about using Salah as the ‘make weight’

Can Robbo not play the Carabo Cup game?

I have a feeling the AFCON might be a casualty of Covid. Nothing to back that up other than my own suspicions. They could move it back to June and everyone would be happier

i'll wait till a male journalist says so

Hey Richard Keys

Kane in for Lukaku.

Hoping to have a full starting line-up this week, have plummeted down the rankings the last couple of GWs.

Sanchez (Steer)

James, Dalot, Tsimskas (Duffy, Livramento)

Salah (capt), Silva, Raphina, Martinelli (saved my weekend from total embarassment) (Gilmour)

Ronaldo, Kane, Antonio.

Haha tongue in cheek relax father !!

I see Foden and Grealish are in Peps bad books. I wonder what kind of effect it will have. They both might try and make a good impression and bang in some goals to say sorry.

Or they could both be dropped again for the next game.

It was Foden and Greenwood on England duty. Foden's gf at home with their new born baby at the time

The English lads seem to be the worse, Kyle walker was out parting with a load of prostitutes during the first lock down and get a reprimand from Pep.

How good has Martinelli looked?

I have Smith Rowe and Gallagher - would swapping him in for either be a sideways move or is he a much better pick?

Any thoughts on going for ESR or Martinelli?

Getting rid of Sissoko to have a stronger squad over the festive period.

ESR - not starting recently but still returning. Surely will be back in the team next time out? More expensive at 6.1

Martinelli - bang in form, superb finisher and seemingly more advanced. Cheaper too at 5.3. Surely no risk to rotation?

Want 1 Arsenal attacker for the Norwich game.
