Gameweek 3 - Transfer Thread

Somebody out

Somebody in

Foden back in maybe….. City have an excellent run.

2 fts and lots of options. Want another look at Jackson today, Chelsea's run looks too good to miss out on. May ditch Rashford for Mbeumo/Mitoma to fund Pedro to Jackson.

Gonna give my United asses (not a typo) another week. I might just bank

Gusto in possibly given James' injury - for shaw

Have 2 x FTs. Need word on this Maddison knock before deciding anything.

2 FT and a few potential fires to manage...

Went with Salah and Gakpo...so one if not both are on the chopping block...Salah more to free up funds than anything else.

Also have Bruno.... didn't feel right at the time and it feels worse now

Kulu...had Spurs FOMO but need to figure out what Kulu is doing first before I make a decision

Gakpo out.

Jackson was always the transfer in but not so sure.

Think I’ll chance it for Luton anyway with a long term look at Isak. Alvarez is tempting though - but does he start…

May bank the other FT.

Rashford, maybe even Fernandes on the chopping block. Regret not starting with Mbeumo.

Tbf I think most of us expected some sort of defensive improvement from Everton but they've picked up where they left off last season.

Will probably take a -4 to get rid of Gakpo & MacAllister, maybe even a -8 to dump Tarkowski as well

Gabriel has raced into the lead in the first transfer out race.

Too expensive to be picking up 0 or 1 points.

Is Gabriel to Saliba almost too obvious a move?

Gakpo out for Alvarez also under consideration.

And I may look at Tarkowski out for Inanimate Carbon Rod also

Done Gakpo to Jackson before price rises/drops.

Have 1 more FT but I think I'll wait as I can bench Gabriel this week starting Chilwell, Colwill & Pervis.

Rather the 2 transfers in GW4 to bring in potentially Foden, Mbeumo or Maddison. Tripper in for Gabriel GW5, hope he doesn't drop too much.

Happy enough to hold again this week, looks a big fixture swing after this week so will give Salah, Rashford etc another week before they go on the trade block.

Probably move one of my fodder this week rather than burning a transfer, Kabore to Gusto the most likely with Chelseas fixtures, or else Muamba to Semenyo

Gabriel close to dropping in point. Might have to move swiftly tonight to avoid pricing myself out of a move.

To dance with Pep's roulette or not.....

Even if he does start, how confident are we of CS's? I'm just gonna put in my predictions here;

GW3: Fulham (h) ✅

GW4: Man Utd (h) ❌

GW5: Everton (a) ✅

CL

GW6: Spurs (h) ❌

GW7: Bournemouth (a) ❌

CL

GW8: Man City (h) ❌

GW9: Chelsea (a) ❌

CL

I could be wrong on the above, especially Bournemouth but they have shown that they are not afraid to throw a punch at the bigger club. Man Utd have not exactly been proficient in front of goal this season yet so that could be a clean sheet too.

In comparison, Man City have a fixture list like this.

GW3: Sheff Utd(a) ✅

GW4: Fulham (h) ✅

GW5: West Ham (a) ❌

CL

GW6: Forest (h) ✅

GW7: wolves (a) ✅

CL

GW8: Arsenal (a) ❌

GW9: Brighton (h) ❌

CL

Again, I could be wrong and there could be less. West Ham would really be set piece threat.

It's double the number of CSs I think, but that is before the threat of rotation.John Stones is injured for a bit and that reduced the number of available options. It's really between Akanji / Ake / Gvardiol / Walker for 2 spots. Dias is probably nailed. Walker can only play RB so he is a bit lower. Do I risk doing Gvardiol or play safer with Akanji?

A Man City DEF will lock me out of Alvarez but I do have Foden already as my Man City differential.

Gabriel and Pedro to Colwill and Jackson, Chelsea fixtures are two difficult to ignore.

Apparently Maddison still hasn't trained, so I may have to use both transfers this week and revamp midfield (want rid of Salah too).

Shaw is owned by nearly 25% of all players. That's a big whack.

I own Maddison alright but gonna hold him for now, til I know more.

2 FT.... Gakpo to Alvarez, Gabriel to Chilwell done.

Not feeling good about those moves I have to say 😕

Have Shaw and Maddison likely out.

Already taken Rashford out for Mbuemo and have a rubbish bench with total fodder so I might take a hit.

I'm holding Maddison on the back of latest update and will start him.

Rashford number 9 again so more than likely. If the fixture wasn't so good, I'd be selling.
