Pickford/Jaku
Coleman Holebas Evans Lovren Amat
Firmino Sanchez Sterling Antonio Capoue
Aguero Lukaku Benteke

2 FT, 0 ITB.


If it was just 1FT, i would have rolled the transfer. But now i'm thinking of doing Coleman & Capoue -> Vertonghen & Coquelin with 0.6 ITB.
I haven't been playing Capoue anyway (So Coq can warm the bench), it would release 0.8m, which would leave exactly 0.6m for Antonio -> Son/Sterling for next week (I might have to pull this tomorrow itself, as both are gonna rise. Hopefully Son's absense is gonna slow it down). Or i can upgrade Jaku to probbaly Marshall/Foster. Saints' fixtures are tricky, so not fancying a Lovren to Saints def. I would love to get rid of Evans, but there is none in the 5.0 region atm. :?

What do you guys think?

Ridding of Yakubu sounds like a sensible move to me?!?! :):):)

if i wasn't at 2 transfers i might have rolled it over, but probably end up doing Sterling --> Walcott doubling up on Arsenal for the next 3 games.

No idea what to do, especially with all of the potential restings etc, so I think I'm going to roll by default. Zzzzz.

Thanks for replying. I agree Walcott's looked shite for years, but he's also been close to an FPL GOD, periodically(!) -- I'll try to make the case for getting him:

- This season, he's 4th amongst midfielders for attempts (23) (behind Coutinho (29), Antonio (27) and Townsend(24), and 1st for attempts on goal (11)
- He's playing, which has often been the argument against him
- He's cheaper than I (think I) remember him being when he was a template pick
- Arsenal are scoring more than 2 goals a game, with 16 from 7 games. Only L'pool and City have more (18)
- Upcoming fixtures: Swansea (H), M'boro (H), Sunderland (a), Tottenham (H)
As above, not worth taking a hit for imho.

If you can get some Liverlove in too and bulk out your Charlie's with the best fixtures all the better and folk like Costa, Kak & Payer can't be ignored but ultimately it's about the 'in form' teams and their players.

As I would like England managers to get through their thick, media addled skulls, it's all about form :D
So then, keep sterling or bring in Walcott?

Echoing an earlier post, I'm defaulting to rolling over. I don't like any of the choices for this week, especially ones that restrict my options going forward. Unfortunately every transfer restricts those options as I want to have 2 transfers the way the fixtures are shaping up!!

My defence is weak.

I'm pretty settled on using my free transfer on Massauku :arrow: Cameron

Is Valencia/ Williams :arrow: Stones/ Zabaleta/ Mustafi worth a -4?

I have 2 FT, but need to use both if I'm going to get an Arsenal (or Spurs) defender which is probably my main objective this week, apart from possible getting rid of Janssen.

Could do Coleman :arrow: Mustafi funded by Foster :arrow: Grant. Foster has awful fixtures next 4 weeks anyway, and Grant will hopefully work together with Pickford.

Another alternative is obviously to just downgrade Janssen to Defoe or Deeney or even Benteke, but not sure who to pick yet, or if I want to move to 3-5-2 next week and get Son.

Edit: Perhaps just do a boring Kone :arrow: Pieters and bank the 2nd transfer together with 0.1 itb. Makes way for a shift to 3-5-2 next week if I want also.

It's a fine line between sensible and boring, but feels like it's the best call this week!

Thought I'd save mine, but went with Valencia :arrow: Bellerín instead.

Antonio > Arnautovic

(But wishing already that I'd gone for Shaqiri and banked some cash)

Ended up banking it. Pleased as I'm way too trigger happy usually. Saying that fully expect an Arsenal defender pick (Bellerin or Koscielny) to score and get a cleanie this week.

Valencia - Bellerin

Seriously considered Montreal and Mustafa to save the extra 0.5m but think Bellerin probably warrants the extra 0.5

I ended up making the switch to Walcott afterall but after Sterling's drop. I did captain Walcott as a result so i've got that going for me

Thank you for not putting up a good argument :mrgreen: Remains to be seen if I should've kept Capoue instead of Antonio, though. He'll be the next to go.
