DGW33 Transfer thread

Gonna pop free hit. I have 2 of them still, so might as well blow one now.

Triple United ? Nobody will have them and they could...... okay, i cant finish this thought without laughing

Either Doherty to Cancelo or FH this week

Southampton were woeful against Chelsea, I'd keep FH for week 36

Dropped a place in both my main leagues. Big work to be done.

My plan was to get Schmeichel in for Sa but now I have to move Doherty on as well.

Thinking Schar for few more weeks then maybe Anderson at Palace.

I was tempted by this myself before the weekend but no chance ill be doing it now. I can see Salah doing well against United and wouldn't surprise me if United made hard work of Norwich.

Missed the last deadline so have 2 FTs this week. My intention had been to free hit but that would mean losing the two FTs and looking at the fixtures the double gameweek teams are underwhelming. I have 4 doublers right now so could get to 6 without hits. Even though Weghorst doubles I think he has to be shifted as him getting subbed pre 60 says a lot, Chris Wood a potential replacement as Newcastle are playing alright and he is on pens and they double too.

The other move i have to get done is to somehow get Kulasevski in, I was 0.1m short of buying him 5 weeks ago and had to settle for Raphinha instead. I dont even want to look up how many points that sliding doors moment has cost me, probably about 30+. So I have to get him in at all costs, probably at the expense of selling Robertson, TAA or Rudiger. Though James is also frustrating the hell out of me with his 1 pointers.

I'm unsure as to whether James is a good buy or not anymore this season, unless you are chasing and need a big haul to jump up the ranks. I could be wrong though, but I would downgrade him or move to a Cancelo, Laporte or TAA.

James seems to either haul big, or get a 1 pointer. There is no real steady 'ticking along' points that other defenders get at his price range. 

He has returned in 8 games all season. He has blanked or scored less than 2 in 11. There has only really been one period where he was returning consistently and that was GW9-GW12. He has only returned in back to back GWs once since then. Rudiger & TSilva have 12 & 14 returns

There is a big potential for a haul, but there is just as much potential in a blank too. I think a Rudiger or TSilva are more reliable candidates and while there is a lower ceiling, the consistency is a better pick for me. 

Although I’d like to keep my FH for 37 for potential Semi finals in H2H league , I think i need to pull the trigger on FH33 as I could be absolutely slaughtered on the rank.

Schmeichel (Pickford)

TAA Robbo Tierney (Doherty, Chalobah)

Salah Saka Martinelli Kulu Havertz

Kane Cucho (Hwang)

Tierney is out & Cucho is a doubt so I will need a -4. With 2.7m ITB I can either go Cancelo & Laporte/Targett for Doherty/Tierney or

Cancelo & Wood/ASM for Tierney & Hwang.

Players I don’t have & would FH for would be

Robbo -> Targett

Tierney -> Cancelo

Salah -> KdB

Havertz -> Maddison

Kulu -> Bruno

Hwang -> ASM/Wood

Kane -> Ronaldo

What are peoples views on the -4 v the FH? Is there a 20 point swing there?

Just bench him, I wouldn't go taking a hit for that. With the DGW you'd want to be starting the other 4 defenders anyway so I'd presume you're not badly set up. Maybe sell him next week for Cash as he's about that price and has doubles in 36 & 37.

Doherty is only 16% on his way to a drop (maybe he had one already?) but yeah he might drop when people do transfers near the deadline, I think he is out for the season so most owners will likely get rid.

I was going to say consider Chabolah at Chelsea for 4.7m but for some reason he has not started the last two games. Matip might be a good shout if you're okay with blocking the 3rd Liverpool spot with him and have no plans to get Jota in for the rest of the season. With Cash I wouldnt be expecting clean sheets from that Villa defence any time soon so its only for attacking returns, in fairness he has being doing alright. Cresswell has looked decent lately but he is 5.4m and again WH are not keeping many clean sheets.

Could do with some advice, if anyone is willing to give it. I have TC and one FH left. I had intended on playing the FH in 33 but two things are now putting me off - the poor form of many of the GW33 doublers and the fact that the likes of Doherty and Tierney will still have to be replaced anyway.

My current team is:

Dubravka*

TAA,

Salah, Son, Martinelli* Gordon

Kane, Pukki, Broja*

Pickford, Coady, Saiss, Doherty, Tierney, Raphinha

My thoughts are Tierney and Saiss to White and Justin/Cancelo/Rudiger for -4, with maybe Raphinha to Maddison/Barnes for an extra -4 (Benching Pukki). This would enable me to play FH in 37.

Would you make these changes for a hit or just play the FH and take a -4 in GW34 to fix my defence?

There's a planned protest before the Man Utd match against Norwich. Is there any chance that the game gets called off, like last season if the crowd gets out of control?

I'd take bowen over any double soton player right now

worst team in the league in the past month and when you lose at home to watford that says it all scored 3 conceded 15 last 5 league games

I kept jwp until last week and Livra will get one more week before he's out

Gonna use the first of my 2 free hits this week. Not the most inspiring week for it but I'm fairly out of the running for all mini-leagues this year. Loading up on DGW players for the fun of it Currently looking at...

Triple United (NOR, liv) - DeGea, Bruno, Ronaldo

Triple Newcaslte (LEI, CRY) - Targett, Burn, Schar

Doule Leicester (new, eve) - Barnes, Maddison

Double Arsenal (sou, che) - Saka, Lcazette

De Bruyne

Few doubles on the bench too - Sanchez, Tarkowski, Gabriel

I think I’m set on keeping my FH for 37.

Ill have 3 DGW players in Schmeichel, Saka (c) & Martinelli.

3 Liv players - Salah, Trent, Robbo

2 Spurs players - Kane & Kulu

1 Chelsea - Havertz

Ill be using 2 transfers (-4) to fill the other places. It can be defender and/or forward.

I think I’m pretty set on Cancelo & then the other options are Targett/Schar/ASM/Wood or Adams.

id like to have a Bruno or Maddison/Barnes but difficult to see who to replace.. Kulu or Salah?
