GW2 Transfer Theead

KdB out. Too early yet to decide on a replacement but Martinelli, Rashford/Bruno, Son, Jota on the watchlist.

Edit: wrong thread.

Gabriel on the chopping board, the injury to timber most probably means Tomyasiu slots in. Might just go to Saliba

Was there any reason given why he didn't start?

From what I've read it was apparently just a tactical decision

Judging by the way City were happy to keep possession I'd be looking at a city D double up. Maybe Newcastle isn't the right game to do it for.

Have Ankanji but don't know who else to bring in, maybe back to Walker for certainty of starts

One I am considering as well but Eze was very unlucky not to have at least an assist in the game against Sheffield with two clear cut chances he created saved by Sheffield's keeper. He was on all the free kicks and looked to be very attack minded when he got the ball. Think I'll bank and have two free transfers for next week.

I don’t think that’s gonna happen again though. City had the league wrapped up and had the CL as their priority. Ederson will play every PL game barring injury suspension or else rested when they’ve won the league.

What are all the Gabriel owners doing? I am pretty set on getting rid as I have only fodder on bench. Thinking the following options (Just 5m to spend): Saliba, Ake, Colwill, Guehi, that’s probably the order of preference at this stage aswell but the 0.5m saving with the last two is very tempting. Any other options I am missing?

I’m going to give him another week at least. If he comes close to dropping in price, I may re think.

Plan is to start him for the moment but might switch to Colwill if we hear more during the week. I don’t understand how he can play so 70+ games in a row, pre season and then just be dropped into the new season. Doesn’t make sense hence why I think it has to be a one off.

Possibly Richarlison for Luis diaz. Rodri might be better value though at 5.5 and leave me with 2 million in the bank.

Not a transfer per se, but for those with Onana and Turner.

Are you playing Turner at home to Sheffield United or Onana away to Spurs.

Spurs looked very attacking so I wouldn't be confident with a United CS.

Forest at home to Sheffield United surely a CS banker...?

Stones owners, what's your plans? Very tempted to bring in Chilwell.

A bit of a conundrum

Put Richarlison on the bench and put in Colwill going four at the beack. Leave transferring Richarlison until next week giving me two FT's.

Or transfer him now and go with either Elanga, Rodri or Pereira. That's leave me with 2.5 million in the bank and allow me 7 million to get a decent third striker in and beef up my bench a bit.

Currently have Archer on the bench as filler.

Wait it out and make 2 in GW3.

He won't drop in price due to low ownership so no need to worry there.

Just a word of caution on Chilwell. I don't see Chelsea keeping many CS's this year and that's where you really want your defenders consistently picking up points. Also prone to injuries so it's a hard one to call. A "poor man's" Chilwell could be Rico Henry @ 4.5 million.

Not saying he's injured, but Chilwell did hold bottom of his leg just prior to being taken off yesterday. I know Poch said that James was just tired but first game of season, in a big game, is tiredness really a thing to take off your two best players?

I'm thinking KdB/Martinez to Martinelli/Chilwell.

Who? Give Richarlison a chance? Did you see him yeserday mate? There are better 5 to 5.5million options than him. No way he is a regular starter come september. In my opinion.

But like why buy him in the first place? Rashford/Bruno hardly lit the world on fire tonight, but doubt too many will be dumping them. You gotta give players 3 games at least. Home game next should tell a different story, albeit against United.

I did Ricky to Maddison, Maddy looked superb whereas Ricky was well of the pace.

He may well score in the next game but I expect Maddy to do a lot better than him.

Chilwell for Mings or Diaz for Rash?

I don't have Salah but have mc allister but at home to Bournemouth I think I need Diaz

I plan on benching shaw and onana, can't see a clean sheet away to spurs based on tonights performance

Bruno played a bit deeper last night and united were pretty bad. Thinking 2x united forwards might be overkill. Thinking Bruno to martenilli/maddison.
