GW5 Transfer thread, deadline Tuesday 6pm

I did the same. Thought about Mendy but FFS had an article that most of the top players have Sanchez.

What's your current team?

You don't need to WC that team, imo. What's your OR?

Can't wait to get Mount out of my team 8 points in 4 weeks. Thinking of Groß in and using the profit to boost my front line and do Greenwood to Mitrovic for a hit or maybe Neto to ASM

I wouldn't WC that team, your main problems are Mount and Neto, and then maybe downgrade Zinchenko, but other than that it's a strong team.

Mount to Diaz is the most obvious transfer

Sure you could downgrade TAA/Cancelo and make the midfield stronger but after 17 points for TAA and him being a streaky player that would probably be madness atm.

Cancelo to Walker say allows you to upgrade Archer to a playing 3rd striker, but all that can be done over 2 GW's.

Another strong reason not to play the WC now is the short turn around, you've already missed price rises and will only get 2 days out of them.

Yea I stumbled across a piece on this on reddit, (I can't get used to that site at all), where a poster was explaining that because Brighton only play with 2/3 registered defenders that there are less players to get the CS in the bonus point system and so if Sanchez keeps a CS is likely to get a bonus points

I haven't looked at the prices, but say Zinchenko and Mount to Saliba and Diaz is probably affortable?

I done that 2 GWs ago. Great move.

Suppose you could justify it through Zinchenko being a doubt (if you really want to tinker)?

Went early with my two fts - Ramsdale & Dias to Sanchez & Saliba. Frees up a nice bit of cash. Losing my double City defence but don't think Dias is as nailed as he used to be. Ramsdale isn't going to be picking up save points and bonus as much as last season, he's being protected too well. Saliba is cheaper cover and seems to have eye for an attacking return. Still don't own Diaz, maybe will have to rectify that soon but was willing to hold off another few games now they are coming into a tricky run.

Da Silva to Rodrigo already done, happy enough with rest of team but will have to re-examine my double Chelsea defence sooner rather than later.

Plan on using my WC in GW8 and am seriously considering it, will see how the next few weeks go. It's not just the Bournemouth game, watching him since the season start strictly from a footballing perspective (ignoring FPL somewhat) then he just doesn't look the same player in this new Liverpool set up. Keeping for now but strongly considering switching to Diaz on the WC.

1.3 ITB

Prob do Williams to Cucurella.

Maybe Lavia to Gross

Banking this week I think, I want Robertson out and I also want Mitro but I'll hold off for another week at least

Is zinchenko out for long?

Have brought in KDB for the under-firing Salah. Plan on using the released fees to upgrade Bruno G to ASM, although might do a sideways move to Gross instead. Still have Ward to consider (happy with Sa so far).

So, ASM or Gross with GK upgrade?

How about Ødegaard, good form

Definitely the latter. ASM is horribly inconsistent and always has been, he also came of yesterday holding his hamstring. Gross is in better form and has better fixtures. If you have Sa and Ward however why the need to upgrade, use the money elsewhere.
