Gw 36 transfer thread

I was thinking of the exact same move yesterday for a -4 as Arsenal are no longer keeping clean sheets and Schimichael has an extra game. But now I dont think its worth it as Im free hitting in 37 so can get Schmichael for his double then anyway. Leicester arent exactly a good defence either so I dont think its worth a -4 switching keepers so late in the season.

After another poor performance from Salah last night Im thinking of switching him to Mane for the rest of the season. Salah looked to be back to form with the United game but its stlll not happening with him, everything he touches ends up in nothing lately, he is running into defenders and even the odd shot is off target. Its a move that could backfire but Mane often finishes the season pretty strong.

yeah I thought about KdB or Foden for Citys double but having been burnt by them before in DGWs I think I'll give it a swerve. KdB looked pretty bushed last night, Id be unsure if he will play twice.

Ive got 1.5m ITB and nowhere pressing to spend it so now thinking of going Ramsdale to Ederson and Broja to Nketiah. Im relucatant to change keeper so late in the season but Arsenal have stopped keeping clean sheets so Ederson should easily outscore Ramsdale over the remaining games (unless City have a total collapse but cant see that happening). It would mean leaving James and Maddison there for the rest of the season but Im free hitting in 37 which mitigates that somewhat.

Was all set on KDB as part of free hit but after last night not so sure now. Going to have to wait see how games go tonight Maddison is still one at the back of my mind. If Leicester go out he could be a real option. Foden I don't trust and now im not sure on Laporte either!

Looking like a FH of

Schmeicheal

Dias - Mina - VVD - Mykolenko

Jota - Salah (C) - KDB - Foden - Maddison

Richi

On Maddison, not sure if I want Leicester to go through or not, if they do go through I think hes more likely to be rested at the weekend and play midweek, go out and probably starts both

Do you have FH left? Do you have Son as cover? Can FH Kane in 37 and then try work something out for 38. Kane usually finishes the season strong and will be playing against relegated Norwich on the last day. The only thing is Son is chasing the golden boot and in better goalscoring form. Will Kane give Son penalties? Probably unlikely on the penalties side.

Kane -> Jesus is doable. Jesus probably has the legs to start the first game of the DGW as he didn't play 90, let alone 120. I think City will start Sterling, Jesus & Grealish up top in the first game (predicting Pep I know...) But Mahrez starts midweeks more than weekends and Foden played 120 so probably misses out. Rodri Gundogan & KDB in midfield. But then will Jesus start the second game when Mahrez & Foden come back in. Maybe, maybe not. But will play some part.

The thing is Kane has a brilliant record against Arsenal and those derbies often have goals. Every NLD has 2+ goals these days. I don't think Kane will score against Liverpool (full disclosure a bit of hope there too!). So you're backing Jesus v Newcastle outscoring Kane v Arsenal IMO.

In short, if you have Son, you can try the transfers. If you don't have Son, keep Kane. And as I type this, I'm rethinking my own transfer plans!

Leicester out of Europe wonder is Maddison an option for the last few games?

Could be a punt with the fixtures they have got but the form hasn't really been there at the same time. There's also a strong chance they might lack motivation with nothing really to play for at this late stage.

I think my 3 upfront are keepers for the run in - Dennis, Kane, Pukki. All have decent games from now on. Im banking on Kane doing something in this DGW to keep me on top of my league.

Mid field Im stuck though - Kulu, Salah, Bernardro, Jorginho Saka. Saka Im happy to keep, but the rest Im unsure of. Jorginho and Bernardo may get moved on, but for who? 2FT's and .3 in the bank.

FH left for 37 then.

Would you take a risk / afford Zinchenko at 5.3?

I would do that, I think Cancelo and Ricky should outscore Kane+5m defender. Would be better again if you have Son as a hedge because lately its him scoring the goals with Kane dropping deep into midfield to flick balls on to his runs in behind. An alternative might be Jesus+Laporte if you have the funds, obviously thats doubling up on Pep roulette but could pay dividends. City only have the PL to play for and Jesus seems to be part of his strongest team and he is on form.

Walker went off on 60 ish the midweek. It could have been fatigue, as he looked fecked, but it could have been a reoccurrence of the injury after being rushed back. I think Zinchenko will start the first game either way. I'm not sure on Ake, he was on the bench the last game. Was there something said?

I looked at him, but I already have Pickford. Double Everton defence is less than appealing! I think I'll wait and hear if there is any update from Pep before deciding.

Wolves manager Bruno Large has COVID (remember that!).

I'm not sure if there is more cases in the squad etc but it could make Chelsea assets more attractive. Wolves already have a few injuries in the squad.

2 FT's this week, I'm chopping and changing a lot with regards to City.

They looked leggy but surely they need to kick on in the PL and win it given the CL disappointment.

Any thoughts on Havertz & Kane to KDB & Jesus?

Just outside the top 100k, chasing in a couple ML's.

My thinking is - Havertz may not play both games and hasn't returned lately anyway. Kane's points are getting taken by Son who I am petrified of.

Double City attacking is risky but I want to break into the top 100k before the season is out and these 2 have great fixtures if both start.

I could do Coady and Saiss to Ruben Dias and Tsimikas for a -4. It’s tempting.

A couple things to consider too is that in the reverse game of Spurs v Liverpool, Liverpool were in the middle of a COVID crisis and Tyler Morton started in midfield with Milner.

Fabinho, Thiago, Henderson & VVD didn't play either which is a big part of the defensive structure. Kane should have been sent off, but wasn't and Son's goal came from the result of a keeper mistake.

Son & Alli did get in behind the defence a few times in that game alright, but the defence has improved since then and have 10 clean sheets in 12 league games now since January.

The Ramsey injury news has thrown a spanner in my BB36 and taking only a -4 along with 2 FT's to set my team and bench up nicely. Even though it would have only maybe been a 4 point haul from Ramsey, still I want to move him on.

Players I need to move anyway are Doherty and Ramsey along with Weghorst.

Players I want are Cash, Gordon, Ricky.... But the money doesn't add up so could downgrade Mount to maybe an Arsenal Mid.

Trying to pick a Man City Mid is a roll of a dice, and I nearly would roll a dice to find the one!
