Gameweek 19 Transfer Thread

yeah thinking the same as was likely going to sell him before the Chelsea game anyway. It would mean not having him for Leicester who are really poor at the back but Son has some good fixtures. Its really annoying the Leeds game got cancelled, the Liverpool trio would have feasted on that fixture.

I will get rid of Watkins cos they have Chelsea and prob game off v Leeds. No idea who I bring in tho. Antonio would be the obvious choice but unsure he plays on 26

Ye actually thinking of broja myself, other strikers out will get the few games in and allow upgrade to son etc moving forward,

The Watkins situation is annoying as apart from the Chelsea fixture which I likely would have benched him in he is not a bad hold due to a fair few good fixtures coming up. Id prefer hold him through these two but I can see why some will sell for Broja or Antonio. Have got a Foden shaped heachache too with not knowing if Pep is still freezing him out or not.

With only two games off currently I may still have 11 to play although that includes Antonio and Tomiyasu flagged as doubtful. A playing sub seems worth using my free transfer on. Was hoping to bank to start to work towards exiting Chelsea defense with their tough run of fixtures and blanks incoming but still have Salah and Dennis probably going to AFCON that since they now blank this weeks could be worth moving on. Already over 76,000 have sold Salah this week and Dennis has his ownership trending down as well. If all the games remaining go ahead I think a free hit might not help a whole lot so that leaves replacing Salah or Dennis with the free transfer. Decision for close to deadline but maybe Salah to Son or De Bruyne, or Dennis to Wilson.

So many people on twitter seem to be looking to FH I think that will gather momentum as a major strategy. But I've been looking at it and if there are no more cancelled games I can field 11 with a minus 4. One of those is ESR who is a risk but hell he has done well off the subs bench. That allows me to save both free hits for double game weeks when I think the points benefit will outweigh any points loss this week. I will probably go out of the cup but I don't really care about that anyway.

But it is finely balanced another cancelled game before the deadline and I will probably have to FH.

I kept it simple no -4’s had enough money for Son in for Jota. I have no Ronaldo- would of had to get rid of Salah for that. But I know I would want him back for the Leicester game.

Kdb in for salah.

probably captain him this week too

Dennis & Salah out (feels weird getting rid of Salah)

Ronaldo & Martinelli in

-4 will be taken, waiting until the last minute to do it.

Will only have 10 players but it is what it is, can't imagine many will have 11.

yeah Twitter is alive with free hit teams but unless you are down to only being able to field 8 or less players Im not really seeing the value in using it compared to a DGW. The value of the free hit in a DGW is minimum 22 points and up to 60+. Its also got value in the event of a blank GW for the big teams when the CL semis are on.

At the moment I can field 10 and 11 by using the FT. So will just do that but not until the deadline. Would hope the PL is on the ball this time and if there are more cancellations we hear about them before the deadline. It was bad enough what happened last week with fans travelling to a cancelled game, would be even worse if that happened them on Stephens Day.

Not many will have Burnley Everton players so not much change

Down to a max of 10 players with Brownhill out but he was perhaps only going to give me a point anyway. Leaning towards holding the FH chip unless another one bites the dust.

They all just want extra Turkey at Christmas!

8 players left, which includes Foden and Antonio.

If I use transfers I might try Salah to Son and Allan to Martinelli- not mad on losing Salah just yet and the games the replacements have are also in doubt.

The alternative is to use FH on the 26th and just pick from what’s left. It doesn’t seem to be a great use of the chip but it means I will have a rested Salah for his last two games

'A couple of cases' to match getting postponed is a bit of a stretch surely?

Rumour of a covid outbreak at City now. Tomorrow morning will be interesting

Free hit time if rumors of both games being off is true but find it strange that the twitter posts of the Villa game being off only mentions Gerrard testing positive and the other one just mentions 2 back room staff testing positive which on their own would not be enough to cause the games to be postponed.

edit: Merry Christmas!
