Gameweek 6 - Transfer Thread

Rashford out, anybody in

He’s out for someone who gives me enough money to bring Alveraz home in.

2 FT....will be Bruno and/or Sterling out and maybe some surgery in defence as well

Ha depending on how Chelsea get on tomorrow, I was thinking of doing Rashford to Sterling, Don't really know who else is worth having - maybe Saka, will see what he does tomorrow.

Last couple of games I don’t think he showed much - United were attacking and he was heart of it in first half - seemed to die off a little in second.

At 8.9m he’s not showing the form that he should be imo. But not many players have shown form worth getting really -

At least Jackson owners have a very easy transfer to make in Alvarez coming in for him.

Watkins owners have a more difficult decision to make. He is returning and the good fixture run is on the horizon.

Absolutely wouldn’t be selling Watkins. Actually don’t think Jackson is a must sell either although he is struggling to get goals but he’s getting the chances. The yellows are frustrating though.

1 FT, will prob take a hit though

Jackson to Alvarez, Chilwell to Botman.

Resisting the urge to WC after a dreadful start - 2.3mOR.

My issue is that I've done a WC team out and there isn't a huge amount of changes I want right now or obvious candidates. I can make mini WC's for points hit over next 2/3 GW's and keep the WC for GW9 when I originally wanted to.

I want to change:

• Onana & Turner to a GK (not sure who to go to?, is anyone consistent this year?)
• Chilwell to Botman - will do this week
• Gabriel - double up Newcastle? can rotate for the moment. Wish I went Saliba to begin with.
• Estupinan - will keep
• Colwill & Beyer - could move on but could equally hold as fodder
• Fernandes & Rashford - will become Salah & Diaby, can do this next week for -4
• Son - happy with
• Mbeumo - happy with
• Foden - happy for the moment but could move on
• Jackson - to Alvarez this week for a hit
• Haaland - season keeper
• Archer - will keep as grand 4.5 fodder.

There's a few I want but not a major overhaul. I think with a WC, you'd want to be making 8 transfers minimum to make it worth it. Some I'm looking at are sideways. As bad as Bruno/Rashford have been, not sure I want to sell before Burnley. Form over fixtures though...

Sanchez at Chelsea is the 5th highest scoring GK but I wouldn't touch him, Neto, Leno, Vicario and Areola above him. Maybe I'd go Areola.

Team feels decent on paper but important to remember it seems everyone had a bad week and points totals are prob still very tight. Feel the WC will be more valuable later on. 1/2 good GW's for the above team could see folks flying up the rankings.

The Henry news (out for rest of season) has me here doing a WC team and with the Chilwell benching another pain. My defence is now backed up by Udogie, Estupinan & Beyer. Have Pedro up front who is always 50/50. And Osula on bench injured and price to drop soon.

I'd be changing both keepers too, Turner/Johnstone to Flekken/Areola. At moment I'll be moving on 8/9 players so could be the time to just do it for my team. Have 8 players I can say I'd be confident of starting this GW and 3 are Spurs away to Arsenal. 2 million OR.

Alvarez with 2 goals tonight, his touch & finish for the 1st was top drawer. Hard to ignore him, unreal form. We thinking Pep just gonna not start him soon? 4 X 90 mins + 1 X 89 mins games in PL so far with Forest & Wolves to come in next 2. Early team news would be epic if they were the 12.30 KO, sadly not.

Already done Jackson to Alvarez, unsure if my second will be Chilwell to Botman to Rashford for anyone

Is there an argument to be made for keeping Chilwell?

He's well rested for sure, and up against Villa's insane high line...himself and Sterling (who I also own 😬) could have a field day.

Or should I just get rid and make the pain stop 😂

According to fplstats, he is close to a drop but he isn't past the threshold yet. If you are on him since the start, you can absorb this one price fall anyways and decide later.

Chilwell does have a couple nice fixtures coming up in Fulham & Burnley but the Newcastle guys have a longer run of fixtures. Chelsea have a big fixture swing then, so he will be mass sold IMO. Those comments from Poch alluding to Chilwell / Mudryk sharing that LW role and Mudryk being the more attacking one so suiting certain fixtures worry me as he may be picked in those easier games against Fulham & Burnley.

Villa play Thursday so this might help Chelsea and also we don't know how Newcastle will react to midweek games yet.

I'm looking to move him out myself, but might just hold out this GW and kick it down the road as I want (need!) Alvarez so going to try do that.

I can do dead 4.4 FWD -> Alvarez & Foden -> Diaby for 2 FTs.

But I have to do it before price rises. Is it worth doing it tonight to catch these? I guess I could do a -4 on Saturday if I do get some Man City news but if there is no news, it will be a waste of a hit. Tuesday to Saturday is a decent rest time, and he is the form forward now.

Yeah I'd have a very strong first sub option. Maddison / Son / Mbueno.

Had 2FT.

Brought in Alvarez for my 4.5 striker

Thinking of Chilwell to Botman for my other

They popped into my head, but was thinking then of future transfers to remove Luton & Burnley assets the more I get in, as trying to plan future moves. Gusto is a shout and cheap and James is made of glass sure! Saka or Rashford? Saka is obvious but Rashford is due to haul with them few fixtures.

The unexpected Botman rise (he was only at like 80%) has meant my plans have had to change, as I had exact money for my moves.

Not sure whether to go for Burn as the direct replacement or go for Reguilon (I guess the idea is that he’s nailed with both Shaw and Wan Bissaka out longterm and with nobody keeping clean sheets it might just be better to go with a very attacking 4.4 option for a team whose clean sheet potential isn’t that much worse than the rest).

Chilwell & Baldock out for Botman and Cash....I almost went for Digne in a moment of weakness but came to my senses

Dinnery reckons Shaw will be back in 3 GW’s.

Rashford or Saka or some else around that price point (i have Son/Salah/JWP/Darwin/Haaland/Alverez) - feel like Saka and Arsenal are in better form. But I don't like watching games after i sell a player, so conflicted selling Rashford - could just give him this GW and bank the transfer. Obv early in season, one rival has both Rashford and Saka, and other chap just has Saka, so in a way getting Saka covers that basis.

Yeah I considered all that but have a bad history with Digne... couldn't face into owning him again especially in a move that involved dumping Chilwell.

Cash got a rest on Thursday too and has been very advanced from what I've seen of Villa this season

Long term I think both will be solid picks, both are also a bit streaky when they hit form. Saka is there now and showing form, Rash showing the stats and potential but not the hauls, I think it's a case of staying on the hot streak and switching when rash shows form as opposed to going for Rash a week or two early id rather be a week or two late

Did Chilwell to Botman earlier this week. 1FT left and still contemplating Watkins to Alvarez but can't make my mind up whether to do it or save the FT. I already have Haaland and Walker. Going triple City has backfired for me in the past which is why Im hesitant
