Gameweek 2 Transfer Thread, all aboard the Mitro express

Perisic out, Zinchenko in. I think Perisic will do well but the Sessegnon goal might mean a week or two of 1-point cameos. I don't have Ramsey in goal so it's not an Arsenal double-up in defence for me.

No transfers for me this week, unless someone gets injured.

Is Emerson at risk of losing his place to Doherty?

Not going to get into it, but your logic doesn't make a pile of sense - your going to sell Watkins, who is an England International who cost 33m, because he didn't start, but you think that White won't be dropped, because he's an England International that cost 50m?🤔

He's beating the same White drum as he did in the matchday thread and getting the same responses, sure look, he's entitled to his opinion I suppose.

In the Premier League the player who cost a fortune gets more chances that the young lad coming through with most managers. Unless White makes mistakes he'll be starting whether it's two or three centre-backs.

I think Tomiyasu is nailed on when fit. White isn't a full back, did a good job playing out of position the other night. I'm confident he'll be starting at CB once Tomiyasu is fit.

I'll repeat once again a rebuttal against your logic, Arsenal recalled a 21 year old French international from loan as they intend to play him, White can play RB or in a 3 as stated above but you seem intent on saying he'll play every game due to his price tag. If that's the case Grealish should be playing every game as he cost 100 million but try telling Pep that.

How much did Saliba cost three seasons ago? Arsenal spent £30m on him as an 18 year old, your talking as if he was a free transfer. The manager will play the best players simple as that, anything elese is silly.

The suggestion that an merican owned, Spanish managed club could give two contiinentals to what nationality a player happens to be is laughable.

No transfers for me cos I might need to make three the week after !

Goodbye Harry

Hello Erling

Just done it there before the price rises, can’t watch Erling against Bournemouth without having him.

Mendy in.

Need a GK as now I don’t trust the budget duo. As poor as Chelsea were CS will be where they do well for me.

Oh ffs lads, cop the **** on.

True.

But not having him today dropped me a million places

Add the face that he took the pen today too, adds an extra few points and value on there too

Hard to ignore him at home to BOU with Kane facing Chelsea. Reckon I'll follow suit.

Maybe reminding you that he scored 3 goals last time they were in PL will help you stay away from him?

It's an obvious transfer.

Those who have Haaland now wił get an early advantage of having extra transfer available.

Haaland is a must have now.

I will be watching Dasilva, very little movement on him, 7k transfers.

One to keep an eye on if you have 0 in the bank and you plan to bring him in.

I will bank for now, but could be an alternative to Pereira from Fulham.

Pulled the trigger on Solanke & KDB to Haaland & Peirera.

Listened to the game today and it seemed to me that everything was geared towards creating chances for Haaland, which means he'll clean up on goals and the mids will share assists, bit like United last season

I planned on getting Dasilva in for Bailey after gw2/3. Hopefully others will be distracted by other issues.

I watched most of it. It was an odd game. City keeping the ball slow tippy tappy. West Ham terrified of being hit on the counter. Haaland hardly touched the ball until he won the penalty. If City go a little bit more direct with quicker ball it could get frightening, There were plenty of times Haaland was making a run and the ball was not played quick to him. Instead it went backwards or sideways. Once City change their mindset slightly Haaland could make the captaincy in FPL irrelevant. Like Ronaldo before he went to Real Madrid.

Haaland being on pens is crucial as well. It was what put me off going for him. Mahrez did not play today, but I assume Haaland has no notion of giving him penalties.

The Haaland score today makes the GW2 captaincy an interesting decision too.

Haaland is the new kid on the block, the main man in a brilliant attacking side coming off a 2 goal performance.

Salah is the 'old' reliable, the main man in a brilliant attacking side and coming off a goal & assist performance. Extra points for scoring as a midfielder.

I think a lot will be leaning towards Haaland, given he is playing Bournemouth. Owning & not captaining Haaland may cost you. A Salah haul could be even detrimental if Haaland blanks.

Going without Haaland now is dangerous IMO.

Kane to Haaland done

Well if he's going up in price tonight, I guess I have to get Haaland in now.

Perisic to Zinchenko. I’m just riding the price rises more than anything else. Spurs have a tough game vs Chelsea next week and Perisic was a gamble that didn’t pay off yesterday.
