Yes but the little section on MoTD where Danny Murphy highlighted him summed up where I'm still a bit wary. Thinking about upgrading Oscar to Sterling, but Oscar gets one more week probably.bigcliff2 wrote:Is anyone considering Sterling?

Re: GW3 Transfers
Do we know if Mirallas is nailed? He had an assist & goal in first couple of games, but Bolaise & Lukaku are most likely going to start next week. Do not have enough money to purchase Barkley, but do have enough for Mirallas.

Re: GW3 Transfers
Done Mahrez > Redmond and Wickham > Costa for another -4. Last weeks paid off big time and hoping the same again this week with both having excellent home fixtures.
Will also catch Costa's rise tonight too which is a bonus.

Re: GW3 Transfers
Depends how you are playing it. With the exceptions of Valencia, Funes Mori, Amat & Jak my entire squad is worth at least .1 more than I paid for them. It's not profit but it provided a nice buffer. I've got 125 points so the cost of doing so has not been severe and some of them will ultimately be profit in the future.19Yorke wrote:Is doing Jedinak Capoue for a -4 putting too much weight on team value?
Jedinak set to drop tonight (and obviously won't play for Palace this season), and Capoue bandwagon seems to be rolling. Think if I spend those 4 points I feel quite comfortable not wildcarding this week and maybe not next either.
Will wait and see what happens in today's fixtures of course.
Edit: just saw in a post above that some midweek games might stir things up later in the week

Re: GW3 Transfers
Had to take a 4 point hit to get Ibra in, think he's looking pretty essential.
Vardy -> Ibra
Wilson -> Stuani (feels risky but I've got a decent defence so don't mind going 4-4-2)
Feghouli -> Watmore

Re: GW3 Transfers
My squad is ok (Vardy to Ibra last week turned out well, have Foster, McAuley, Capoue) but I'm still thinking I might wildcard after GW3.
If I do that, my one week transfer might be:
Firmino Barkley
or
Firmino Sterling
Not sure about either really, also have Deulofeu which is a problem. Was going to start Capoue GW3 but need to wait and see on injuries.

Sterlings decision making is too poor for me, he's sprightly but to no avail; also got two tough fixtures next. Barkley has has a lot of easy fixtures coming up and with Kak back should score well.

Re: GW3 Transfers
Is it really worth a four point hit to replace your 5th mid? Are you doing it for the price increases? Guess that could make sense, but might Capoue's potential injury not curtail the traffic a bit?Bao wrote:Fletcher to Capoue and Eriksen to Barkley for -4

Mirallas is known to work very hard to impress new managers (and also at the end of the season to promote potential transfers!) and gradually lose interest hence he'll probably have a good season! He looked like he worked really hard in that game, I only saw match of the day but he was fouled chasing down a ball across towards the right hand side of the pitch that he went flat out trying to go and win. He certainly wouldn't normally have been doing that, team orders from the boss or not.
If Mirallas nailed down a place he makes a very good fantasy pick as he certainly knows where the net is and is his finishing is far and above duelofeu.
If he played an equal amount of time as Barkley he'd probably score more goals than him.

Re: GW3 Transfers
Almost 38,000 have already transferred in Stuani for £4.9M. He only needs another 21,500 for a price rise. Not bad 24 hours after the game......

Arsenal getting players back now and the fixture list looks pretty good until the beginning of November.

Re: GW3 Transfers
Reading some stuff from Arsenal fans apparently Sanchez has looked far off the pace so maybe one to avoid for awhile. Ozil is one I will be considering over the next few weeks however. Negredo Stuani bit of a sideways move and one that can be done at any time due to how cheap Stuani is.Weisenwolf wrote:Am I mad to be considering this:

Re: GW3 Transfers
If you have free transfers, you have to go with ditching the out of form players who are dropping in price in favour of the form players rising in price at this stage of the season - regardless of fixtures. Hence I've gone with Vardy to Ibra and Mahrez to Barkley. Lots of £ swings there and form of course. Obviously the last thing you want to see now is double figure hauls for Vardy and Mahrez in their favourable fixture but that's the gamble you have to take if you don't want your TV to take a hiding.

Ozil looked sharp when he came on; pepped everyone up. I suspect Sanchez is suffering from the overall confusion in the team but I doubt this shaky performance will last much longer. Maybe I will wait until the Burnley game week 7.....

Re: GW3 Transfers
I'm tempted by the Stuani 'punt'. If Gray is going to avoid bonuses each game, I might get rid for Stuani (also frees up some cash to help with having Aguero and Ibra now).LamebrainEddy wrote:Reading some stuff from Arsenal fans apparently Sanchez has looked far off the pace so maybe one to avoid for awhile.

Ozil is in my Wildcard plans, but just not sure about the rest of the team around him. He looked very good when he came on against Leicester.

Re: GW3 Transfers
Loads of patience etc on here.
Some bod scores a goal and everyone wants him. That someone being so cheap that he will still be cheap after a 0.5m rise? Why put risk having to use a transfer to get him out?

Re: GW3 Transfers
I expect you are right Blah
I like the Idea of having Aguero, Zlibra, Sanchez & Hazard, could be a good mine but it's probably not so wise. Doesn't leave a lot for the other 11 in the squad I may end up drafting my mother in law in!

Re: GW3 Transfers
This Guardian piece caught my eye on Stuani (as someone who knows very little of Middlesbrough under Karanka), apparently Stuani seems to have sporadic minutes. Adding to that looking at his match record he seems a little inconsistent, score a brace one week and then nothing for a while. I am as tempted as any to put him in for the money saving, but I'd like to see if he's not just a one week wonder first and at 4.9 it definitely wouldnt hurt to wait a few weeks.Owsler wrote:

West Brom away next, a Middlesbrough blank there wouldn't surprise me.
Well I guess you'll know more about it that I would then, that being said Sanchez would have to really start firing for me to make room for him.Weisenwolf wrote:

Think Deulofeu may have to go. Cabaye could be interesting at only 5.9, or go a bit extra for Andros Townsend. Anyone saw much of Townsend this season? How has he been playing?

Re: GW3 Transfers
I have Mandanda and Sigurdsson who are both due to drop tonight. I'm surprised that Mandanda hasn't played for Palace yet and I was convinced he would be No.1 but he's not so he needs to go, probably for the Hull keeper.
With Sigurdsson, I'm conflicted. He hit the bar on Saturday and if that goes in then obviously it's a different story but I have 2.0m in the bank so can upgrade him to a 9.5 if I wanted to. Do you think it would be worth the 4 point hit to get rid of Siggy for an upgrade and a 0.1m saving? Or am I being too rash and should be more patient with Siggy?

Re: RE: Re: GW3 Transfers
If you think Siggy will start scoring soon then you can assume he'll also be back to his original price quickly. I'm in the same boat with Mandanda and will be forced to trade him out tonight.Nozbit wrote:I have Mandanda and Sigurdsson who are both due to drop tonight.
