Worst transfer of the season

Post by Joccki_10 »

With 14 GW's gone I have made a total of 20 transfers (two this GW) this season excluding my wildcard-transfers. I was looking back to see how big an impact they had on my points or how big the disappointment was.
I was wondering about my worst. How did you guys do?

Which transfer has been your worst so far? Could be either a buy or a sell.

Mine is the purchase of Batshuayi in GW3.
The Belgian was very important in the first two games - 2-1 wins against West Ham and Watford - coming off the bench, so I expected Conte to play him from the start the next GW. However...
He has only played 61 minutes in 12 GW's after in which he never scored or assisted. I guess I'm winning already.

I brought Zaza in on my gameweek four wildcard. Is there a prize for winning this? :-P

I've got a horrible feeling it will be this gameweeks. Costa in, a blank and the booking upcoming (I really hope I'm wrong)

18 Nov 23:06 Firmino Mané GW12
18 Nov 23:06 Alonso Smith GW12

Needed 0.1 to finance Alonso.

Could have done Diomande -> Anichebe instead.

Lost over 0.5 in team value and way over 30 point and counting?

I won.

Close thread.

I brought in Mane only for him to be injured in training (quite badly it seemed) about 30 minutes later

I actually did Sanchez :arrow: Firmino in GW12 myself. Perhaps that transfer (38 points vs 8 points) comes into consideration as well. :lol:

Have done OK most weeks, Except last week I took a hit for Pedro, as I planned to do Hazard -> 6.0 and Austin -> Costa. Leaving me Alonso Pedro and Costa, However with Aguero getting banned giving me loads of funds and Pedro going off injured with Willian coming on and looking sharp my plans changed, I have now taken a hit to get Pedro out to accommodate 3 Chelsea players in Hazard Alonso and Costa.

8p hits in Pedro for 49m last week.

27 Aug Vardy :arrow: Aguero to avoid the price rise/fall partially funded by Costa :arrow: Rondon.

Aguero injured on 28 Aug to trigger the wildcard....during which I didn't put Costa back in as he was a card magnet.

Alternatively, Baines, Valencia, Robertson, Shaw all being defensive transfers out in the last 9 weeks all due to injury.

Sanchez to Coutinho during the international break may haunt me forever. One was injured and the other was a points machine....67,747th to 211,309th in two weeks.

I brought in Fuchs 4 weeks ago for Valencia. He's scored 1 point. Valencia, despite being injured for a game, has 5 in the same period.

Also part of the bring fuchs in brigade. Was 0.1 short for alonso at the time, so chose fuchs instead. Fuchs has scored 1 point, alonso 27! Have now downgraded elsewhere to make that change.

Sigurdsson.

I love the guy, I really do. I had him from the start and he gets 1, 2 then 1 in the first three game weeks.

I wildcard on gw4 and he's staring down the barrel of Chelsea, ManC, Liverpool and Arsenal in the next five games so I decide that, as much as I love him I have to let him go (for Barkley lol).

He gets 8, 2, 6, 2, 9.

I decide he is "fixture proof" whatever that means and get him back in.

He gets a 2 at home v Watford.

I knee jerk him to Liverpool guy Firmino.

He then gets 5, 5, 9, 10.

I say what JUST BUY HIM AND HOLD HIM.

Then he gets a 2 v Spurs lol.
