DGW 23 Transfer Thread

I think that's very simplistic there is a long way to go. If City win every game until rest of the season they are champions, so Pep will be pushing that. I would have more confidence in city doing that, than Arsenal going on a major run - losing to Everton today was poor and some of their players are looking as if they are running out of steam. Martinelli hasn't scored in the last 4 games, Saka only has 1 goal and likewise Odegaard. Needing a goal Aretha took two of them off today, something he wouldn't have done 5/6 GW's ago.

I think 3 City players are a must, and only because most have 3 Arsenal they will have them this GW, but going forward I think better options will emerge - the likes of Maddison back and scoring.

By time GW25 rocks around, City could be top.

Anyone thinking of bench boost this week? I’m thinking of a -4 that will leave me with a bench of Kepa, Shaw, Botman, Mirtovic. I’d nearly be glad to have it played and not be working my team too much around it in future.

Finding it very hard to bench either Mitoma or Mitro home to Forest if I don’t play it

if they didn’t gave DGW, would their form warrant getting them?

Versus Almiron? Probably.

No other alternatives really, Have 3 City, and United, don't want Liverpool or Chelsea. Arsenal lads are better than Bowen or JWP IMO

Well we have to play 11. I'll be getting one of the Arsenal boys

Saka 26, Odegard 31 and Nketiah 26 over the last 5 GWs, they are decent returns. Martinelli is lagging behind

I'm not sure how they're in bad form? They've been pretty consistent lately.

Don't use the form guide on FF but just looked there at Arsenal's results so far this season and it is only two games now that they have not scored in. They just scored three against Man.Utd. who are third in the league in the game before meeting an Everton with the new manager bounce and the only other blank was against Newcastle who have the best defensive record in the league. I'm not saying they are must haves but taking a chance myself on getting some returns from Odegaard, Saka and Nketiah over the next few weeks.

I'm thinking of using my final WC this week. Three of my fifteen won't play, and others have upcoming blanks. More to the point, I've been a bit too passive since the World Cup and my overall rank has dropped accordingly. It might be time to have a go.

Any advice here? Just the one transfer, just feeling brain dead.

Happy with the back.

Would swap Martinelli out, but for the DGW,

Happy enough at the front.

What's happening with GW25? There's still 10 games listed...

Appreciate the helps from both of you. Been super busy with work, so missed this

Went with a -4 this week for

March - Saka

Sanchez - Sa

Why would you go near Salah? He's atrocious this season.

Think its the team rather than him that's the issue, unless they start playing better he wont score big imo. At least we have a couple of GW to see if they can improve

I like Salah as a differential at this stage, if you're chasing a lead he's a nice punt. Definitely on my radar

I'm not being funny, but he's owned by 22%. Surely that's a bit high for a differential?

I am probably discounting that he was probably in a lot of abandoned teams from week 1.

Bruno -> Saka is a bit of a no brainer assuming nothing crops up in the pressers? Have Martinelli and Zinchenko already. Odegaard is cheaper and if I had extra transfers I'd do Martinelli to Odegaard, but Saka is the most explosive option?

I'd need a -4 and some other transfer with +1.0 to get Gnonto to Nketiah otherwise.

Kepa (Ward)

Trippier - Burn - Shaw - Zinchenko (Bueno)

KDB - Rashford - Marti - Bruno - (Andreas)

Kane - Haaland - (Gnonto)

Anyone think its worth a -4 to do Martinelli to Odegard?

I can do a safe transfer of Bruno to KDB.

There is also another fun option of March to Mahrez and Martinelli to Saka/Odegaard for a -4.

I think I'll opt for the safe option sadly, as it looks like KDB will most likely play both games in the double. Can still do a -4 for Saka/Odegaard too.

1 FT this week and think I'll bank.

My Arsenal doublers are White (wary of gametime) and Nketiah.

City doublers are Haaland (C), KDB & Mahrez. The latter two have high ceilings but not confident.

Could look at Mahrez to Odegaard/Saka but it's very sideways.

Think I'd rather 2 FT's the following week.

Team is

Kepa

Shaw, Trippier, White

Almiron (been meaning to take out but Bournemouth away looks great on paper), KDB, Mahrez, Rashford

Nketiah, Haaland, Kane

Subs: Ward, Martinez, Bueno, Andreas.

Honestly don't think anything stands out too much to make any transfers.
