GW31 transfer thread

Going to have to pick my poison this week. Will do Maddison to Martinelli and Havertz to either Kane (BOU) or Haaland (LEI). I’m going to FH in 34 so leaning towards Kane, but it’s a long time to the weekend!

Swapped out Mbeumo for Isak. Have a few too many players blanking in GW32 but I'm thinking it is better to focus on players to get more points for the rest of the season rather than concentrating too much on having 11 for GW32. Free transfer next week could bring me up to having 10 and that is probably enough for GW32 I think.

That City result last night was bad for me. I'd hoped the tie would still be tight so Haaland might get rested at the weekend.

Looks like I'll be taking a -4 to bring him in and foregoing Kane.

I think it’s a sell aswell. Even if he’s back for GW34 you’re talking about Sunday-Thursday-Sunday when coming back from a muscle injury.

Chilwell sent off tonight....anyone want to hazard an educated guess as to what this might mean for the weekend....

Dropped as a punishment?

Made to play as a punishment?

Sent out of loan to Fulham? 😉

They won't, but they might want him to get minutes there now too, so I'm still a little scared.

Yeah I’d edge more than 50% he does aswell, but I’m not THAT confident about it either.

Him getting rushed back in 33 would be a negative towards 34 though.

I think the big problem with FHing 34, is that Man City, Brighton, Liverpool and Man United are comprising a lot of the players you’d want to have in the other weeks anyway (and that most others will have), so the chance to make big gains with a FH are reduced with a lack of differentials.

Anyone else not have Haaland.

2ft and & FH as well.

Thinking of doing either

A: Chillwell/ Rashford/ Watkins to Haaland/Patterson/Andreas. -4 and set up for 32, keeping FH for 34, and a front line of

Saka, Martinelli, Salah, Mitoma,

Kane, Haaland, Toney

B:Rashford/Kane to Haaland/March FH32.

C: Saka/Rashford/Watkins to March/Eze/Haaland -4 and FH 32.

I like A

I'm going FH34. I have 11 for GW32.

If you bench 3 City/Utd/Brighton (4 if one is a keeper) in 32 you have transfers in 33,35,36 and 37 to bring in more of their players. As a Liverpool fan, I can't think of a single player (outside Salah) I'd want for the run in. We will have nothing to play for, TAA is to expensive (and flakey) and Darwin might not start every game. FH34 means getting TAA for 2 home games without being stuck with him, maybe a punt on another Liverpool player and the possibility of veering away from Rashford/Shaw if it looks like their minutes might be managed.

I think I might want to get Kepa and Chilwell out myself. The only thing is I also have Zinchenko, Maddison, Shaw & Rashford fires to fight!!

Anyone have any strong opinions on Eze vs. Olise?

Already have Grealish so looking elsewhere for my Rashford replacement

Reports out that kepa might be dropped if that swings it for you

It's those reports that kickstarted my Ederson thoughts. I have Steele, who I'm happy enough with, but we don't for certain that #1 jersey is his. Likewise, it could be a one time thing for Kepa/Mendy but Lampard did sign Mendy. It's worse for Chelsea if they start Mendy IMO, he got overrated while Tuchel played a back 5 and 2 of Kante/Kovacic/Jorginho in front. This did help him in FPL though.

Chelsea haven't scored in 4 games. And Brighton are buzzing in an attacking sense, so you would expect them to score. This would lead to side with Steele as Chelsea are not scoring and Brighton are. But Brighton are conceding too, which leads me down the path of both keepers scoring 2 points. I think Kepa has a better chance of getting save points then as Brighton are so chance-heavy. Which puts Kepa ahead of Steele then. But Kepa has the risk of not playing now, so it's back to Steele. I own both, and I'm going with Steele atm, but that is my thinking out loud there!

I'll raise you Havertz on top of Kepa & Chilwell. The 3 of them could easily be benched......

I haven't a clue what to do with them. I'll bench Rashford anyway and will hold.

My FT as of now is going to be a boring Kepa to Ederson, set me up for some city defence cover in DW34 & potential DGW37.

Havertz could start as Sterling & Felix were poor the other night once the chips were down. Chelsea are just giving me serious ire now, sudocream needed!

What's the rest of your front line - I'd have a bet that you'll be playing someone with less form than Watkins...
