GW 33 Transfer Thread

Fitz* · 22-04-2023 7:13pm #1

Quick turnaround to the next GW, do I said I might aswell start this.

I had originally booked in a -4 for this week. Switching Kane for Salah which I still intend on doing. Had planned on Maddison out, which I still probably will do l, but the striker spot I am somewhat wavering on.

I was gonna do Isak, and then Alvarez but now I'm tempted by Jota. 4 goals in 2 games is hard to ignore. But then it is a midweek game so risk of rotation.

Will there be widespread rotations overall this midweek I wonder? Surely the teams in European games the last few weeks are more susceptible?

Ace2007 · 22-04-2023 7:42pm

hmm, Jota is tempting, but only option is for me to sell Watkins - which would be really attacking the GW..

else I gotta sell one of Odergaard or Martinelli which is madness i think.

Cartman78 · 22-04-2023 8:54pm

Was planning to FH in 34 probably 🤔

Tempted by Jesus to Jota but funds are super tight atm

CSF · 22-04-2023 11:00pm

I don’t think Jota starts on Wednesday, in spite of the great form.

They’re playing again on the Sunday and Wednesday that follow, so 5 games in 16 days would likely be a lot for him, particularly with him having had a muscular injury until not that long ago.

gammygils · 22-04-2023 11:08pm

Have the exact funds for Saka to Salah

Mr.Nice Guy · 22-04-2023 11:37pm

Think I also may have to take a -4 to get Salah in for Kane, but I'd have to lose Odegaard or Grealish. Not sure who would come in up front. I'd need someone below 7m.

With Brighton having 3 doubles coming up - one of there mids probably a decent shout

Newbie20 · 23-04-2023 8:41am

This is a question I should know the answer to but just making sure in case, I’m playing my wildcard this Gameweek…Can I activate it today and then mess around with transfers as much as I want in the coming days like with the free hit? Presuming yes but just making sure.

CSF · 23-04-2023 9:28am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120510240#Comment_120510240

Yes, unlimited transfers until deadline. Just make sure you actually do confirm the chip.

Thanks!

Heres my first draft. Can switch Martinelli to Rashford but then will have no Arsenal, not sure what to do. Want to hang onto Brighton lads because they’ve 3 extra games than Arsenal, and United have 2 extra.

Ace2007 · 23-04-2023 12:57pm

When I toyed with the idea of Jota I was having the problem you are, which was leading me to sell Watkins as they is no other player you would really drop. I was then thinking with Foden back, will Grealish be guarantee to start both matches in GW34? Further to that, if Arsenal lose against City, will their players be a must have? If you haven't clicked WC - would it be worth waiting till after these games, to see where the title race is at - if Arsenal managed to get a win - then their players would be worth having

COH · 23-04-2023 3:00pm

Kane > Isak would free up funds for anyone > Salah for a -4. Maybe one of the Arsenal mids, but probably Madisson.

Flaneur OBrien · 23-04-2023 4:13pm

Zinchenko -> Dalot

Reed -> Grealish

Saka -> March

-4, but with the 3 transfers in having a DGW coming up, I'm happy with that. Selling Saka was the only way I could get Grealish into the team.

mindhorn · 23-04-2023 5:28pm

On a WC and toying with this. Leaves me with 1.1m ITB. And using BB in GW34.

extra gravy · 23-04-2023 6:22pm

I was going to buy March this week but not so sure now.

Ace2007 · 23-04-2023 6:32pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120511899#Comment_120511899

I dunno about Grealish - foden is back now so no guarantee he starts both games.

does Dalot start both? AWB have a really good game today

Fitz* · 23-04-2023 7:17pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120512581#Comment_120512581

Dalot has a better chance of starting, if Shaw continues at CB I would guess.

sheroman01 · 23-04-2023 7:58pm

Probably bank this week, but need Salah eventually. GW34 I'll probably do Saka>Salah, and Kane> Isak/Jota.

Wondering if it'll be worth a -4 for Chilwell>TAA, or Watkins>Jota/Isak too. Thing is, I have Shaw, Estupinan and Trippier, so prob no need for TAA.

I'm raging I have Shaw now though - United not looking great and he's playing CB. May as well just stick with him now I suppose.

Flaneur OBrien · 23-04-2023 8:14pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120512581#Comment_120512581

Hahaha...

(gulp)

But seriously, no one that plays for City is a guaranteed starter, however Grealish is their most in form player, he should make an appearance in both, and he's always capable of getting points.

As for Dalot, it's a bit of a gamble. But he has low (>5% ownership) so I'm hoping it'll pay off as a differential

Mr.Nice Guy · 23-04-2023 9:45pm

My midfield 5 is Grealish, Mac Allister, Mitoma, Saka and Odegaard. I want to do the Salah/Kane switch and I don't want to lose the DGW players. That leaves Saka or Odegaard for the chop.

Selling Saka leaves me 8.4m for a Kane replacement. Selling Odegaard leaves me 6.6m (0.1m short of Isak alas).

What do people think of Iheanacho? Got a goal, is on pens, and has Leeds, Everton and Fulham to come. Thinking of him or Solanke if I decide to keep Saka.

dr.kenneth noisewater · 24-04-2023 8:55am

Have just the right funds to do Maddison/Kane to Salah/Isak for -4 so think I'll pull the trigger on that

Father Hernandez · 24-04-2023 10:17am

Toying with the idea of Kane & Saka to Salah & Isak/ for a -4.

Not sure it's worth it this week. As bad as Spurs are, Kane could easily return against that United defence. I think I'll be putting Saka 1st sub too - starting Rashford, March, MacAllister, Grealish - Watkins, Haaland (C), Kane.

I have Schar and Ake (rotated the GW I got him in), both who I'm planning to start but both flagged.

Anyone know if it's just a precaution or?

Might swap Ake to Stones but feels like a waste of transfer.

F1ngers · 24-04-2023 10:32am

Dean Smith confirms that Harvey Barnes is available for tomorrow’s game against Leeds, while James Maddison will train today and should also be involved.

Think I'll bank and give him another week.

Will have 2Fts for the DGW then.

Fitz* · 24-04-2023 10:56am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120514391#Comment_120514391

I'm 98% doing similar.

Maddison/Saka & Kane to Salah & Isak. I have the Kane -> Isak move done because of price rises, just want confirmation that Salah is ok before making the move. Although price changes tonight may force me into doing it anyways. I had thought about Alvarez as he may start one of the DGW34 games, and Leeds, but it's too risky. Jota might get rotated this GW.

Is a -8 too risky? with Chilwell -> Trent being the final move. I probably do it for 34 anyways but I'm not confident that Trent outscores Chilwell by 4. I'm ahead of someone by 6 points in a ML.

sheroman01 · 24-04-2023 11:15am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120514391#Comment_120514391

I'm also doing that transfer but gonna wait until GW34 to do it. I fancy Kane to score vs United, and I also have Saka first sub this week.

Shedite27 · 24-04-2023 1:42pm

Gonna stay without Salah for now.

Maddison/March to Rashford/Grealish

CSF · 24-04-2023 1:49pm

Do people think Salah or Trent is more important this week? I’ll likely have both for the double, but figuring out which one is top priority in the here and now.

JIdontknow · 24-04-2023 2:01pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120512230#Comment_120512230

Just regarding this. Consider what formation you'll play when using the 3 Brighton mids... You'll play 3-4-3 or 3-5-2, in which case you will drop one striker / one midfielder. For that reason I would consider perhaps a Brighton defender (or goalkeeper) to offer more flexibility to team formation but I am currently pondering Wildcard and haven't reviewed the fixtures in detail or what formation to play.

Edit: you may need to drop one of the Brighton mids for GW 34, but still use them for the other dgw's.

Father Hernandez · 24-04-2023 2:10pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120514563#Comment_120514563

-8 is risky IMO. Liverpool defensively are shaky to try and reclaim the -4. Only have to look at Tripper to see the difference 1 meaningless goal makes and if TAA isn't involved in any goals.

Might be best to wait and do it for free.

Fitz* · 24-04-2023 2:26pm

This will be West Ham's 3rd game in 7 days, if not 6, and they have largely been playing the same team the last few games. They have got a few important wins under their belt and have a 6 point cushion now to the relegation zone. They play in the early kick off Saturday morning. Maybe this is the game that West Ham rotate in, as they want to keep important players somewhat fresher for their EC run.

Creswell seems to only be playing every second game, so Emerson probably starts this one. Coufal has started 5 games since April 8th, can he start a 6th? Pacqueta has started 5 of the 7 games in April so far, Soucek 6 and Rice 7/7. I would guess Ings starts ahead of Antonio. Does Fornals start this one instead of Bowen who is due a break or Benrahama possibly?

Salah has scored in 6 of his last 7 starts. 10 returns in those games. With the new system, he is effectively holding the width on the RHS, as Trent is more central. Now, to add to this, he was very wide on Saturday and only had 1 shot on target in the whole game, which he scored. On penalties, even if he hasn't scored any this season. Capable of a goal from nothing etc.

Trent has returned in his last 3 games but he hasn't been part of a Liverpool CS in 6 games. The period before that he had 5 CS in 6 games, so it is possible, but I think Salah has more 'control' over his own outcome. For example the Leeds go that Liverpool conceded came from a Konate mistake that wiped out 5 players CS points. Liverpool were very poor defending long throws at the weekend, and second balls at set pieces in general. I think Moyes will target this. A lot of Trent's creativity against Forest came from set pieces and I can't see West Ham being that weak defensively at set pieces. The new system has him more central and not really pinging in crosses as much but as we saw against Leeds, he can create centrally too.

Overall, factoring all of that in Salah, IMO. I think (maybe hope?!) that the West Ham rotation factor is high and that is the swaying factor for me.

Fitz* · 24-04-2023 2:27pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120515496#Comment_120515496

Yeah I was swaying towards that side too, this is the clarification I needed!

rekluse · 24-04-2023 2:38pm

Kane / Saka to Salah / Isak I think is the move this week.

Father Hernandez · 24-04-2023 2:59pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120515570#Comment_120515570

This is swaying me towards a -4 for Salah 🤣

sheroman01 · 24-04-2023 4:40pm

Posted this on the BGW/DGW thread but will just put it here too:

I created this very basic spreadsheet if anyone wants to use it. It's quite manual - you need to enter your player names and then copy+paste their fixtures from the Fixtures tab into the Team tab, but it does give you a nice overview of your remaining fixtures from GW33 to GW38.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120515616#Comment_120515616

Agreed, I went Kane & Odegaard to Salah & Isak for a -4. I don't have Watkins but can't justify another -4 to offload that useless F Havertz

mindhorn · 24-04-2023 8:09pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120515464#Comment_120515464

Thanks. Playing BB in GW34 so the plan is to use all three Brighton midfielders then.

Fitz* · 24-04-2023 8:38pm

Im debating about who to sell for Salah.

Saka, as he has the toughest fixture now this week, away to Newcastle soon and no doubles.

Maddison, although he does play Leeds this week and will be raring to go. Semi decent fixtures coming up in 34 and 35 so could be either player 11 or 12.

March. Nobody really talking about selling Brighton MIDs but the wind might be taken out of their sails now, especially March after his penalty miss and he might have a niggle injury. They have a lot of games to play, but some of their doubles are now great. They might get burned out.

The only thing is it I sell March, I can't afford Trent in 34 and will have to Konate or someone in that price range instead. Possibly Akanji or Ake if he is fit again. I wouldn't have any wiggle room then going forwards though.

munster87 · 24-04-2023 8:41pm

Or March could feel like he has something extra to prove now

Fitz* · 24-04-2023 9:31pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120517042#Comment_120517042

Interesting.

He missed a penalty in the league cup this season as Brighton got knocked out to Charlton. He scored & assisted in the next league game. Food for thought

CSF · 25-04-2023 7:58am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120517227#Comment_120517227

I think whether he plays from the start is even questionable. He got a knock, played 120 minutes with it, and now only has 2 days off before a Wednesday away game.

How Soon Is Now · 25-04-2023 1:53pm

Heads wrecked trying to decide what to do before tonight. Already brought Haaland back in for Kane but I'm thinking of finally getting rid of Maddison to bring Rashford back for Spurs.

My issue is Maddison is obviously out of form but he has Leeds and surely there will be goals there. Rashford has Spurs who are a mess atm but he just played 120 minutes and penos the weekend. I want him back for the double the following week one way or another though.

If I take a -4 this week I'm also looking at possibly another -4 for the following week because I'm thinking of Trent in for Gabriel and Isak in for Watkins.

I'm chasing someone who's 50 odd points ahead of me and 3rd place is less then ten points behind me so I need to do something!

Ace2007 · 25-04-2023 1:58pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120519457#Comment_120519457

I posted in the other thread, but Bruno's missus put a pic on insta of him with crutches and leg brace, now that minor be precautionary - but if Bruno is out - is that good or bad for Rashford, Good because he'll have to play and he'll probably be on penalties, but bad cause United play better with Bruno. Just something to think about.

Any team playing Leeds is likely to score a couple of goals, It could easily be Barnes or Maddison or Nancho. I'm always form over fixtures so for that reason Maddison is a sell, but I guess it's tough if you've held him this long

How Soon Is Now · 25-04-2023 2:01pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120519484#Comment_120519484

I've kept him the last few games because there was always someone else to get rid of us. He has still been involved he's just not getting returns and it would be just typical that he could return in possibly an open game with Leeds. Its either two minus 4s in a row or a minus 8 next week.....

To be totally honest Rashford hasn't looked great himself she he returned from injury but he's there main threat in front of goal so feel like need to have him.

munster87 · 25-04-2023 2:09pm

Buonanatte news is interesting.

nice bit of green · 25-04-2023 3:08pm

Kane & Saka out for Isak & Salah. -4 pts.

will FH this weeekend.

shmeee · 25-04-2023 3:25pm

Last weekend FH pure deflated my FPL buzz for last few days.

Just checked in there now and did Toney to Isak and set team up as follows.

Kepa

Trippier, Chilwell, Estupiñán

Grealish, Salah, Mac10, Mitoma, Rashford

Haaland (c), Isak

Raya, Jesus, Zinc, Mee

Quick look online, Mac10 may be playing DM so returns could be limited. Isak some say will be rested also. So could be another hard week!

sheroman01 · 25-04-2023 3:59pm

I can no longer do Saka+Kane to Salah+Jota, I'm 0.2m thanks to prices changes last night. I could bring in Salah+Isak this week, and do Watkins>Jota next week. Is a -4 worth it this week though I wonder. It would mean benching one of March or Isak (if I bring him in). If I'm doing it this GW, my options are: remain with March+Kane vs Salah+Isak (-4). It's quite a toss up really. Leaning towards just banking and hoping Salah stays quiet.

Ace2007 · 25-04-2023 4:44pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120519967#Comment_120519967

If your in any LMS or H2H, is two -4 better than maybe a -8 next week. Next week you would assume there will be a lot of -4, so many a -8 isn't the worse thing.

sheroman01 · 25-04-2023 5:16pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120520132#Comment_120520132

I'm 22pts ahead in my main money league. 2nd somehow has all the big chips left - TC, BB and WC. So I can't play it too safe in a way but the odd hit is okay this week or next. I ended up banking. I'll take a -4 next GW to do Saka, Kane, Watkins>Salah, Jota, Isak.
