GW 14 Transfer Thread

Cash out for me too. Angry now that I accepted the recent price drop.

I’ll be looking for a defender with a good fixture in 18.

I think it's a great year for going with 8 attackers. No clean sheets and lots of cheap mids

Have the same front 3 but kinda going off Alvarez now. Not getting many returns in last 7 weeks or so

Just read today that KDB not due back until the new year so I’ll keep Alvarez for these very tasty fixtures.

When KDB is back I’ll sell Alvarez and go 352.

I could work towards 352 and sell -

Cash, Tsimikas, Gordon and Alvarez

and buy -

Trippier, James, Mbeumo and Archer

Not sure whether to do it or not.

I wouldn't be selling Gordon, looks kinda fixture proof, I'd nearly say Mbuemo is a downgrade

Alisson could be out for a while. Kelleher starting GK at 3.9 against Fulham Palace & Sheffield Utd?

On pens too 😉

Does Kelliher outscore Johnstone between now and 18?

Diaby to Mbeumo, can't be having players that get subbed at half time.

I read an article recently that Van dijk last played in goal when he was 4 🤔

I won’t need to. I’ll go into it with 2 FT’s and sell Mbeumo and Alvarez.

That will give me 11 outfield players to choose from.

edit - I just looked at the fixtures and looks a poor choice for free hit. It’s an easy decision to save it.

Well I don’t know what happening in the ‘community’ as I’m not listening to podcasts.

I’ve been kicking myself for not starting with Mbeumo in gameweek 1 as I wanted him all preseason. In the end I just had too much money in the bank so I regretfully ’upgraded’ him. So maybe I’m eventually correcting that mistake and especially for his upcoming fixtures

My second free transfer this week will be Gordon to Doku if the latter comes through his European game in good health.

My gameweek 18 FT’s will be Mbeumo and Alvarez out for Son and Archer (or the like).

I was going to wait until the Luton game to bring in Haaland, and I also had the option of delaying that if we got word that he would be rested there after playing Spurs & Villa in a few days.

But that Spurs high line, and injury crisis, is making me re-think that and luckily have 2 FTs to use.

I can do either of these and just trying to figure out if it is worth having 8 attackers and benching 1 each week, and then if I do go down that route, which route to go with. Watkins is the man in better form but has tougher fixtures and Alvarez has the better fixtures coming up, with no PL form.

1) Son & Watkins -> Haaland & Gordon/Palmer

2) Son & Alvarez -> Haaland & 4.9 bench MID

Gordon actually has a better fixture than Palmer in BGW18 too, so that's another reason to side with him.

I've two options

Turner -> Kelleher

I'm wild carding in 19 so a short term punt. Next three are great for Liverpool

Neto -> MGW

Would be on the bench this week, so really just covering Watkins possibly being out.

FPL Focal reckons he may have news pre deadline on Watkins. That could make the decision for me.

Any thoughts?

I just moved Darwin out last week, chose Watkins over him

I know Martinelli isn't going well but they're playing Wolves and Luton in the next two.

The plan is Sterling and Son in for 16, Isak and Trippier for 18.

Can you not see Liverpool getting two CS out of the next three?

MGW could be up front if they rest Wood, I think he has double digit potential

With your planned transfers you’ll struggle to use a wildcard in 19. Those are all great planned buys.

Whenever I watch Liverpool I just always think they are very capable of conceding and Alisson definitely saved them on many occasions but of course they could get 3 clean sheets in a row.

I just like explosive options when I’m dead ending. I want a guy that will be starting (and in my team too but it sound like you’d be benching MGW) and capable of a big score.

I never mind giving you options because I know you always do your own thing anyway.

I just don’t think there are 3 better attacking fixtures than what Liverpool have now. Even Diaz is an option albeit not likely an explosive one. That’s why I keep coming back to Darwin for Watkins.

I’m thinking of doing Watkins, Martinelli and Cash to Jesus, Palmer and Trent for a -4. Martinelli scored during the week so doesn’t really make sense selling him but his form in PL hasn’t been great and I need to downgrade someone to get Trent. Palmer certainly not a downgrade in terms of quality though. Some decent fixtures coming up as well. Might be a knee-jerky to get Trent, but the sight if him scoring last week, shushing the crowd in the new Predators has blinded me a bit. Playing in the more advanced position, I think there are surely more attacking returns to come from him but he is too pricey to keep if he’s not returning them, so a slight risk to get in. Same with Jesus. I could get Isak either, but I feel Arsenal are full of confidence after their performance during the week and a goal and an assist will have done Jesus the world of good.

Is 18 not putting people off getting rid of Watkins? He's the best captaincy option that week by some distance

Without any news on Watkins I think I'll roll and get James in next week, chase the upside that way

I did two free transfers in the end this week: Cash out for Pinnock and Watkins out for Darwin. Basically since both are doubts went for the safer options who are expected to start
