GW20 - Transfer Thread (double trouble)

Trying to get my head around upcoming doubles. I know about Utd’s this week, and another probable one with Leeds in a couple of weeks. Then there is City v Arsenal in 23.

Is there anything else likely to come up in short term or is everything else looking like later down the line?

I'm 0.1 away from Stones which is annoying as it looks like he's the City defender to bring in.

Who's the next best option - Ake or Akanji? I'm leaning towards Ake as he can play LB or LCB.

Might have to make the move tonight because of price rises which is annoying, when Man City play tomorrow and give us an indication of who might play at the weekend. There's a shirt turnaround between Wednesday & Saturday.

People's feelings on KDB? Currently stinking out my team. Stick with him or sell to get in Kane/Odegaard.

Good thinking, City are using that 3-2 formation when building up possession with Lewis / Cancelo dropping in alongside Rodri.

If they are to start Walker, that would suggest to me that Cancelo will play the LB/CM hybrid with Ake as the LCB cover and Stones.

If Walker doesn't play, you would think that it would be Ake, Akanji, Stones and either Cancelo/Lewis as the RB/CM.

I think they might go with Cancelo, Ake, Stones, Walker.

Of course, I am saying this with confirmation bias of wanting Ake to start so I can justify buying him! My thinking is that Ake offers the natural left sided CB option whereas Akanji is more right sided. And a left sided defender is needed either way.

I think going forward I would be getting in Darwin so I wouldn’t be selling unless it was only way to get Kane.

Somehow Kane has avoided a price rise 3 days in a row!

Nunez to Kane and Cancelo to a 5.3 defender? Maybe Newcastle cover along with Trippier. 2 FT's so looks an obvious move on form. Have Shaw and White. But the fear of losing Nunez and may be DGW soon too. Won't pull trigger until last minute if we do get news tomorrow on DGW's.

Not much exciting me in defence and Man City is a mine field to pick one and now Stones flagged.

Is Salah to KDB almost too obvious and suspiciously sensible?

I also have Darwin fwiw

Getting rid of cancelo - madness to even think that a few weeks back and now he is on a DGW aswell 😲, but just think he has for whatever reason fell out of favour with Pep. Anyway been a bad few weeks, Im one of the Salah & KDB owners and its been grim so going to rejig a bit before i seriously lose interest!. Thinking of a -4 or even a -8 (100pts behind in ML and need to change it up). So looking at bringing in some Spurs defense for the DGW, have funds for either Doherty or Lenglet, any idea which one is more nailed?

I did also spend a while looking myself!

Chelsea:

Arrizabalaga, Thiago Silva, Chalobah, Koulibaly, Kovacic, Hall, Zakaria, Azpilicueta(c), Havertz, João Félix, Mount

Subs: Bettinelli, Jorginho, Badiashile, Aubameyang, Chukwuemeka, Ziyech, Fofana, Gallagher, Cucurella

Fulham :

Leno, Tete, Robinson, Ream(c), Adarabioyo, Willian, Reed, De Cordova-Reid, João Palhinha, Andreas Pereira, Carlos Vinícius

Subs: Diop, Chalobah, Harris, Rodák, Wilson, Cairney, Solomon, Kurzawa, James

Perrera saved my GW anyway tonight thank god. Yellow was a shame though.

It will be Havertz to Kane for a -4. Contemplated getting rid of Salah for maybe a City mid like Mahrez to make way, but there’s nobody really jumping out and who is a long term option, and getting rid of Salah just doesn’t seem optimal. So likely it will be Cucurella out for possibly a Brentford defender such as Mee, or maybe a DGWer such as Doherty. Will make final decision closer to deadline.
