GW11 Transfer thread

Just on the comment on away games - just cause it’s red doesn’t mean he won’t be scoring / Liverpool and United are struggling for CS lately so wouldn’t let that sway you - sure West Ham mightn’t win but he could easily score.

Which players have you a lot of money tied up in?

For example, if you bought KDB at 12.2 and he is 12.4 now, sell for 12.3 for one week, bring in a Salah/Sterling/Son etc, before switching back to KDB again. You shouldn't lose out too much there.

I'd move on Emerson this week to prepare anyways. Doesn't play, and even if he did, the game in 12 is not really a CS game for West Ham. At least Neco Williams & Andreas actually play.

Maybe Neco a little less certain to start

Same. I'd rather play 10 that week than lose value or points on transfer hits.

Surprised to see so much talk of selling Toney. He is the third highest points scoring forward this season at just 7.3mill. Used my free transfer to bring in Trossard for Sterling as I think 9.9mill is too much to have invested in a player that may be benched more easily now they played so well without him.

Thinking that having double Newcastle is just not working. Been a few occasions where they where both on for clean sheets and lost it late in the game really would of stung only for Tripper getting some kind of attacking returns.

What goal keeper would you bring in for Pope though!? I had Sanchez earlier in the season but there fixtures are not great for the moment. Also don't trust Wolves even though Sa is high up the rankings.

Is Nunez an option now?

Especially with Salah being transferred out en masse, and TAA & Diaz are injured now for the short/long term. He could be the Liverpool cover to have.

Diaz is out for the foreseeable future, which means Jota will have to play LW now. Maybe Carvalho will play the odd game, but it's less likely he will start IMO after the failed trial v Brighton in GW9. There is now 4 senior forwards for 3/4 positions. I don't think Liverpool will continue to play the 4 forwards together as there are only 4 fit now, and they all can't play every game.

Liverpool might not be in form, but they have scored 5 goals in the last 2 games. They have scored in every game this season bar one, and Darwin does look dangerous when he plays. Shoots regularly and is averaging 1 return every 90 mins in the league.

Zero in the bank so if I sell I cant get them back as all have gone up on value as I've had them from the start unfortunately.

I've already got James don't want another double that's not getting clean sheets lol.

Trying to stay away from doubles because theres no obvious team in the league this year that is constantly keeping clean sheets.

Speaking of clean sheets, I was shocked to see that Arsenal have conceded in their last 10 league games at home.

Good point regarding Jesus.

I guess I'm being scared off by the blank, when we shouldn't be as the City & Arsenal assets are all returning consistently.

I do still own Martinelli and that is a contributing factor by not wanting to over commit, while at the same time not wanting to under commit to Liverpool when they are still scoring goals. Maybe there is still some club allegiances at play there too!

Maybe I can hold off til 13 to bring in Nunez / Jesus instead.

I wonder now that Diaz is out, would Salah become an option again, Diaz was very involved in games and did a lot of work, but was he a bit too selfish - i.e. did he look to play in Salah, like other did last season? I think Bobby is great value if you knew he would start, but when you spent £85m on a player it's hard for Klopp not to play Nunez. The balance has changed so much from last season it's hard to know really which option is the best.

So, eh, I may be looking at the lesser spotted GW11 WC!

Don't sell just yet....although he is a very frustrating own, so maybe just sell anyways!

Chelsea have Villa at the weekend, Brentford midweek with Man United the following Saturday.

Even if it's just a knock, I'd guess James will be rested for Villa with a view to keep him fresh for the United game.

He could be very frustrating to keep for 3 gameweeks. Problem is, there's no one really standing out to replace him.

Other Chelsea picks are too risky, Cucurella cheap and prob starts the PL games now - risky though.

Arsenal have the blank, City have the blank and some will own 3 already. Liverpool out of form and expensive, Spurs defensively no one stands out bar Perisic but a rotation risk. Trippier is solid but already highly owned.

Tough one.

Why Dier over Peresic?

I got kepa in too swaine, have james aswell so trippier will probably play off my bench. Really not enjoying this season everyone has the same players. The captains thread might be interesting this week though

While true, this year everyone has the same captain, picking anyone that's not Haaland has proved fairly costly for the large majority of people.

Starting to think I should have moved out Mitrovic earlier. Have lost 0.2 on him now, and he probably won't play this week.

Also think this might be a good week to move out Dias, with the upcoming blank. Can buy him back in 13 as I will already own 3 Arsenal & City attackers combined and won't be scrambling there.

I've Mitrovic on the bench, granted there's the injury worry but he's got a great run if he's somehow able to play - Bournemouth, Villa, Everton home and Leeds away in the next 4.
