GW6 - Transfer Thread

Will Rodrigo be out long term? They popped the shoulder back in anyway.

Waiting on Rodrigo news. Don't mind if James drops once - I won't lose any money on him.

Sanchez of Brighton is the most popular choice at 4.6 just now.

Very real chance I wildcard tonight if Haaland, Robertson, Martinelli and Walker all start. Rotation could become the theme of the weekend before CL kicks off.

Doctor comments/speculates here that Rodrigo is looking at 5/6 GW out minimum

My question is if Salah doesn't score tonight is it time to get rid?

I'm very tempted. I could have KDB and Diaz instead of him.

Or Kane up top and Diaz in midfield.

It's Tomiyasu that's lost out. I said White wouldn't get dropped. Did you forget that?

Tomiyasu came on tonight for White

Salah to anyone is tempting right now!

Well, won’t be selling Haaland now, but I was considering wildcarding towards standout players from teams without Europe. I still am considering it, but eh Haaland won’t be going anywhere

whst would opinions on doubling up on Alvarez and Haaland, we see tonight that they can play together.

its an interesting one and he is only 6.2m (did he drop from 6.5m?). Problem is though do you play him in the starting 11 or always have him 1st sub for when Haaland gets rested. If he is 1st sub Haaland could get hooked for him, he scores but you dont get his points. Could be a frustrating own unless you're willing to start him alongside Haaland but risk him getting 20 minute cameos and 1 pointers

Only the one FT this week, so I'll have to replace Rodrigo. No idea with whom yet though.

I was thinking about it myself earlier and I think you'd start him when there is Champions League football midweek and an easy game at the weekend. Pep normally rests some regulars at that time.

Zaha in for Rodrigo. Thought about going back to Diaz but Liverpool still aren’t fully firing and Zaha is on pens and playing well.

Did Rodrigo to Harrison and Robertson to Trippier last night

Gonna blindly keep faith with TAA and Salah I think....still think Liverpool aren't far off clicking in a consistent fashion.

Looking at a hit this week I reckon... Kulusevski out for McAllister/Zaha and/or Archer to Mitrovic/Isak

I think in the short term - next 4/5 weeks, that you start him, all these stories that Haaland is going to be rested at some point means that he'll get those minutes along with others - As we saw last night it was Mahrez that dropped to the bench, it could be Foden and Haaland next week and Alvarez plays. Then Haaland and Alevaz could both player against spurs. Given his price compared to any other city player he's worth starting with - will he get rotated - of course, will there be games where he gets 2/3 goals - probably. City create so many chances and we saw last night that he's capable of taking them.

Like for like changes were made, he didn't take of Saliba and move white into CB.

Takes up a valuable striker spot. Personally I think Haaland, Mitro and one of Darwin/Jesus is the way to go.

Watching last nite confirmed that Liverpool need a target man to give the rest space, otherwise they are just getting bottled up trying to play through.

Think Darwin starts when fit and they go more direct and the others play off the second ball, will leave more space for Salah etc. That would mean shared minutes for Diaz/Jota

Zaha is on some form but Ive been burnt by him before. I shouldnt let that cloud my judgement but Im waiting till the transfer window to close before looking at getting him in. He has a habit of playing well to get a transfer and then if he doesnt get it he gets moody and his numbers drop off. This year though he is in the final year of his contract so Palace might cash in with Chelsea suppposedly interested, if he end ups there Id likely buy him straight away

That's not how it works though,a player can have a breakthrough season or a one off good one.

I play him against weaker teams and all his home fixtures but I won't play him against City, Chelsea, Brighton, Arsenal, Spurs, Wolves on the road if Gross has a nice fixture.

Rodrigo a problem for me as is double Liverpool defence. (Ramsdale & James both flagged but think they'll be okay for the weekend)

Looking at a -4

Rodrigo & Robertson out - Trippier & Diaz in.

Newcastle upcoming fixtures are tasty on paper. Prefer Diaz to Robertson for the 3rd Pool spot. Surely they'll click soon..
