GW2 Transfer Theead

Bit of a conundrum at the back in that I have James and Gabriel who it’s hard to know what the story is with regarding their fitness for next GW……and also have Mings.Would have been hoping to bank transfer but Mings -90% to a drop so unlikely he holds his value until after the weekend.

With Timber injured is Gabriel likely to get into the team?

No one really knows with Gabriel until we hear Arteta's press conference.

With Timber out, it's probably more likely Gabriel starts especially seeing as Palace away is a tougher fixture and Arteta will want a solid back 4.

He could start this weekend and then be benched again against Fulham next weekend with the same setup as Forest last weekend. Doesn't look like dropping tonight and will hopefully last until Friday.

I wish Man City were the early game again as it could give some clarity on Foden. I took the risk on him, but he didn't deliver. Big haul potential but he is somewhat streaky too, so maybe I just have him at the wrong time. Early days so he could take off this weekend.

Diaz was not exactly been a G&A guy at Liverpool in his first 6 months. More a progressive ball carrier / width option. Last season was a write off with injury and then in pre-season he seemed to be getting into the box more and finishing off chances. But that was pre-season. Against Chelsea, the goal he scored showed a real determination to get on the end of chances.

Switching Foden -> Diaz is the move I'll make, if any at all. The GW2 fixture is in favour of Diaz, but then Foden does have a longer run of nicer fixtures.

The Liverpool team should be the exact same as the team that faced Chelsea. Anything different would be a surprise.

Well for a start I would hope that Gakpo returns to the central attacking role, if he starts, rather than playing in midfield. Either him or Jota could have been hooked at HT on Sunday IMO, and I think Jota might miss out this week. Early days yet though.

I do think Nunez will start though. Bournemouth played a high defensive line last GW too and Diaz/Nunez/Salah are born to exploit that. Maybe it's more hopeful on my part though.

4 into 3 doesn't go though, and Salah is going to start and I would think that Diaz will start too. Then it's 1 of Nunez or Gakpo for the central spot and then I guess the midfield situation depends on whether Gakpo starts in CF or CM, with Nunez being the fall guy if Gakpo does start in CF.

He's on the bench tonight so must be relatively fit.

Kinda happy to read someone say this and remind me why I didn’t start with him.

I have Gabriel and I was tempted to use my FT before the Estupinan price rise but I resisted.

I hope this isn’t a repeat of me not getting Rashford in January, last season, because I thought he couldn’t keep it up.

Done the following

Richarlison to Diaby leaving me with 1 million in bank. I'll probably get Chilwell in next week or a 3rd striker. Have archer at the moment at 4.5 million but he won't play.

Diaby has a decent run of fixtures and he was a regular scorer at Bayer Leverkusen.

As said in rate my team thread, this injury is 2 weeks too early... 😂

Hopefully his price holds overnight and then have 2FT's so work something if the news is long term. He was getting close to a rise soon too so that will help hold it. Some load of owners moved from Stones to James this GW and now this news.

Could be a terrible move. Time will tell. Diaby has a decent run of fixtures so I'm basing the change on that. The 1 million in the bank will also allow me to make changes next week such as bringing in Chilwell if he starts to click.

My week one was so bad I'm actually debating a wildcard. Seeing lads with double my score already is depressing.

gabriel saliba onana shaw my defence not liking it this week rest is Ederson who I'm starting Estu and Mings

settling on gabriel who'll hopefully start with estu and saliba cannot see a utd clean sheet this week think Arsenal will do very well to get one also

Turner for me as I’ve two attacking players in the Utd game. Turner as home to Sheffield Utd is a good as it gets for a Forest CS.

Too early to kneejerk. United were poor and Rashford/Bruno didn't inspire much confidence attacking wise.

Tomorrow's game should be quite open so would expect there to be goals from both sides. Bruno should be at the heart of it for United and he'll be on pens.

Going to roll and watch weekends action before making a move with James, he's only after moving into the red now so price drop may be a few days out giving his big transfers in this GW. Henry looks like a good option with nice fixtures also. But swap to Chilwell seems obvious (have 0.5 ITB).

With Gusto, it's really about what formation Chelsea play in defence. Don't want to take a risk with Gusto prior to seeing him start and what way Chelsea line up James-less this early in season when I want to use FT's wisely. He's a bargain if starts, plays well and James is out for 4 GW's+.

keeping him for this week

cannot see Shaw keeping a cleanie so I've no choice

I'm sticking with him and starting him this GW as of now. James is the main worry if doing any FT prior to deadline. Latest on James from press conference seems he will be out for weeks, not months. Still with Chelsea nice fixture run obvious just to go to Chilwell now and get it done with.

Pochettino on Reece James's potential return: "It is not a few days, it is a few weeks. The good thing is it is not a big issue."

FT used, James to Chilwell. Gusto could be massive value but long term I don't want another bench fodder to end up needing a transfer on again.

Ha. Yeah. Annoying that I sold James and still refused to get Estupinan.

Real pissed off with how things are going.

Had a good team with the likes of Mbeumo and Mitoma to start the season but just couldn’t go into the season with 3-4 million in the bank so I went with a more expensive team.

Gonna have to stay strong as I won’t be getting any of those 3 in now and just hope they don’t score over the next 3 weeks and my guys do.

Just gonna try and be patient. I’m even gonna keep Richarlison for another 4-5 weeks. I think.
