GW17 transfer thread

Another WC here - would appreciate any feedback

Looks very good on paper but it might be a bit of a selection headache. You have 5 what could be considered "premium" midfielders, and in form strikers so you'll probably play 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 so dropping one premium midfielder & one striker. Personally I would downgrade one defender to a cheapie, it'll make selection slightly easier and perhaps upgrade one of the premium defenders by another 0.5m and dip into the 2.2 in the bank. First choice defenders are probably Pedro Porro TAA and Gabriel, but Villa are in form and Chelsea have decent fixtures so you can see how the selection headaches may be.

Fixtures for the defenders:

ARS vs AVL BHA liv WHU ful CRY

AVL vs ARS bre SHU mun BUR eve

CHE vs eve SHU wol CRY lut FUL

Just realised I have 3 Bournemouth players, and no Gunners. If you told me that at the start of the season I wouldn't have believed you.

Looks like Haaland is now back according to that same guy on Twitter.

Where'd you see that? Had a look through FPL Toni's tweets and didn't see it

Not sure id read that into the comments. Pep is a lying **** at the best of times. Back could mean back from the shops with Pep

Dec 12: 'He'll be back, I think, Thursday. We'll see how he feels. I don't know [if he will play on Saturday] right now. Next press conference, I could be more precise about his conditions.'

I seen it on Toni’s but it was as a reply.

Does that mean it was faked ?

sorry if that’s the case.

I’ll find it again now and link.

In fairness, Haaland did post this himself. Certainly doesn't look like Manchester!

Have a lot of injuries and suspensions,is Anthony Gordon likely to be fit for this GW?……..need him, Mikolenko and Martinelli fit to have 11.All down at 75% chance of playing.Used my transfer to move Haaland out.

Any thoughts on them appreciated.

Either way I think he'll be going for Darwin for me

Do you have any subs? if so, you need Solanke to score c6 points this GW to breakeven - just a thought if worth taking the hit

Gordon is first on my bench

If Haaland is indeed out which seems quite likely, I'm looking at Watkins or Solanke this week.

Currently have Darwin, Haaland and Archer and don't fancy starting Archer away to Chelsea. He may even come in for Gordon should he not start.

GW17 plan - Haaland out for either Watkins/Solanke.

GW18 plan - Nunez out - Watkins/Solanke in.

Currently leaning on Solanke in this week, Watkins next week due to Villa's away form not as strong as their home form.

Done Halaand to Solanke for starters. Mulling over getting rid of Douglas Luiz or Trippier for a -4.

I might be down to 9 if Gordon is out. Haaland to Watkins for definite and maybe Taylor to Porro for a hit. Could sell Trippier but fancy keeping him now after they got knocked out of Europe.

I don't think Gordon will be out, I definitely don't see the point of benching him, if he doesn't start with a hamstring injury hes almost certainly not going to come on

I have to pick between Raya / Dubvranka and then Gabriel / Livramento.

I was on the Raya / Livramento combo until today. Spread the players, spread the pain / gain. Brighton have scored in every game this year iirc so that was leading me away from the double up of Arsenal defence, but the tiredness & injury issues at Newcastle has led me away from starting 1 of them, let alone both. Arsenal seem to be playing well defensively, but are conceding, whereas Newcastle don't seem to be doing either, especially late on in games.

Am I right to go double Arsenal (again!)?

Went Lamptey to porro for -4.
