Gameweek 4 transfers

[Notned]

Mane+Benteke Sanchez+Diouf (-4)

or

Mane Pedro for free

Not sure I would want to get rid of Benteke given his upcoming trio of home fixtures, not least with the first of them being against a West Ham side that just conceded four to Bournemouth.

So the latter for me, by elimination.

yeah I'm not sure I want to lose Benteke, but it's necessary to fund Sanchez. The other option is Azpi 4.5, but that leaves my defence a bit weak.

edit: actually I really want to do this:


I know it's madness but that's my ideal team with the current budget. Talk me out of it!

Looks decent to me, barring a couple of minor personnel tweaks here and there. Not sure I could ever justify a 16 point hit though, not least so soon after wildcarding..

[bcfc1903]

Absolutely set on Darmian -> Kolarov as stated yesterday.

However, I am unsure as to whether I should Gomis -> Wilson for -4. Now this is not intended as a short term transfer but an allowance to free funds within my squad.

So what of the idea?

Bournemouth fixtures (LEI, nor, Sun, sto, WAT) IMO are slightly more favourable, than that of Swansea's (MAN U, wat, EVE, sou, TOT) but I am wary that one performance does not define a season nor should I forget the form, though lack of BP's, for Gomis.

The availability of extra funds allow an upgrade for a premium defender, a mid ranged midfielder (£8.5 m area), if needed. I watched Spurs yesterday and they were poor IMO, missing the creativity of Eriksen and if I be honest, Chadli was bloody awful, for the vast majority of the game. It allows me to hop 'on and off' players/teams with form.

Any feedback....

Oh I know the hit is not justified, I just want to keep the momentum going by fielding the ideal starting 11 every week for the next few weeks. Playing it safe and rolling over is boring.

[Razorback]

If Deeney doesn't score then more likely than not I'll be bringing Wilson in as his replacement.

That said, Hazard seems to be getting horribly close to a price drop so may need rethink things after tomorrow's games...

Deeney Wilson done.

Now contemplating taking a hit for Hazard Pedro...

[Aar0n_28]

For what it's worth, i've also considered cashing in on Gomis Wilson to enable Payet Pedro (-4). I'd have to do that tonight as it's looking like Wilson will rise and i'm right on the money.

My reservation is that for a few weeks i'll be stuck with two budget strikers in Grabban & Wilson alongside Aguero but have a killer midfield of Sanchez, Silva, Pedro, Depay, Mahrez. It would only be for Bournemouth's decent run and i'd look to downgrade the least effective premium mid at some stage.

[hartvix]

Well, after three weeks of torture it's wildcard time for me. Activated it yesterday to get rid of Rooney, Kane, Hazard, Depay and Bellerin before any price drops. So far I've drafted in the top NTI players: Mahrez, Pedro, Wilson, Kompany, Agüero, Yaya, Gomis, plus Darmian and Sanchez. Let's see where this ends.

[Pirlo's Beard]

Now contemplating taking a hit for Hazard Pedro...

A sideways move.

Unless you've decided that Pedro is the better long-term option and you need the funds for other moves.

It's Hazard's impending price drop that's making me consider this more than anything else, Silva would be my first choice replacement but as I'm maxed out on City players Pedro represents an interesting alternative.

[TheChairLeg]

I guess Mane has to feature now. I might wildcard after this.

[SFC_Fan]

Gomis -> Wilson.

I've got Ayew for some Swansea coverage and feel Bournemouth could do really well over the next six.

Also frees up funds to upgrade Depay to Pedro.

[swadd1er]

Just wildcarded so quite settled with the squad I have unless Benteke/Sanchez gets injured/suspended tomorrow night (touch wood). Had a little thought of Kompany Kolarov to release some funds but I'm not so sure yet.

[Pirlo's Beard]

Pedro is price-protected until Friday, so a single price rise is unlikely, and a double rise is impossible. If you're chasing a double rise, Redmond would be a better option.

[Terry Henry]

Done Depay Redmond

Is it worth a hit for:

Payet Pedro

or

Kone Wilson

[flare2]

Is Wilson likely to rise? Some websites suggest that he is protected

[Sammy the Crab]

Very, very tempted by Gomis Wilson tonight.

Can't see why he'd be protected?

[Mav3rick]

I'd hope Wilson won't rise tonight. Sadly FPLS seems a bit overwhelmed at the moment! He had a massive surge of transfers on Saturday night, but I'm hoping a large portion of them were wildcards.

[navoie]

Is it worth to sell Sakho -> Wilson for a -4 points hit?

EDIT:
INow I think that waiting next 2 GWs and then buy Diouf is probably better idea.

[MartyBhoy7]

FF fix have him as rising tonight.

[Hogmeister]

I like Wilson (actually had him before the WC last week), so would like to board that particular bandwagon - but don't really want to drop Gomis.

So considering...

Grabban Wilson
Depay Westwood

Moves to 3-4-3, plus leaves £3.3m in the bank for next week. All good... but taking a 4-point hit in the first week after a WC seems pretty knee-jerk

[Hotstepper]

Sorry to ask, what does that mean Pedro is price protected?

why is his price protected

[scarletjim]

Because he is new. There are certain circumstances where players are 'price protected' for a period - being new is one of them.

[The Username]

Pedro was yellow flagged before he started today.

[Pirlo's Beard]

Sorry to ask, what does that mean Pedro is price protected?

It means his price is locked until Friday. When a new player is added to the game, their price is locked for a period of, I think it's 8 days or something? Someone else can correct me on that if I'm wrong. But yeah, generally new players are price-protected for a week or so, which means their price can't change in that period, even if the player is transferred in by hundreds of thousands of people.

[Ricardo81]

Is this worth a 4 point transfer hit?

Huth - Kolorov
Barkley - Redmond

It is bang on the money so would have to do it asap. I've already got Ageuro and Yaya but city look so good I feel I need 3. Plus their fixtures are excellent.

My only worry is previously whenever I've bought in Kolorov or Clichy the random rotation of the two kills me. Kolorov is playing so well and it's only the start of the season that he shouldn't be rotated but you never know. The alternative option is Sagna as Zabaletta has been ruled out for a month.

[Carlos Kickaball]

No, Huth and Barkley both have reasonable fixtures next week and their's a good likelihood with 2FT that you'll have another cunning plan next week that you can execute for free.

Depay pedro

[OIEIAO]

Ki Mahrez
Berahino Wilson

Two differential picks from my original team that I stuck with for three weeks, longer than many would have especially with Ki having been yellow flagged for two weeks... but time for them to move on.
Also have Gomis but I'd rather have him next week (vs Man U) than Berahino (seemingly in limbo until the window closes).
On the plus side their total absence this weekend meant I will get my 12 bench points this week!

Probably only 1 or 2 weeks from a wildcard so a -4 may seem silly but I feel I'd rather have these players at their current prices and not watch the outgoing players miss out or blank again.

[tsubasa_sama]

Already done Ward Kolarov
Depay Sanchez for -4 set up if he looks good tomorrow.
