GW 12 Transfers - Deadline Saturday 18 Nov 11:30

[Billy Bongo]

Abraham can't pass or shoot straight simple as that

[dino1980]

Yet he still has a higher percentage of shots on target this season than Josh King

How many points did his owners get for those?

[Fuzzy]

^^^

More than Josh King.

[From4corners]

King not really doing it this year thus far. At £7m you'd be better off going for Abraham or Murray and using the extra £1.2m elsewhere in the team.

Callum Wilson for 5.9.

[Notned]

Barring any international injuries, I'm now pretty much set on a slightly punty Vardy/Ritchie Rashford/Zaha.

I want Morata in for Jesus too, which will probably be a late decision on whether it's for a hit this week or free in a week or two's time.

[Owsler]

Tempted by the following:

Diouf --> Rashford
Alonso --> Ward

Leaves me 0.0 in the bank and a team of:

Elliot, Foster
Kolasinac, Jones, Mbemba, Zanka, Ward
Hazard, Groß, Richarlison, Salah, Carroll
Aguero, Kane, Rashford

Not blown away by Kolasinac or my goalkeeper situation, but needed to free up more cash and Alonso is the one to do that.

Thoughts?

[Kuchi]

I would say if you kept Alonso this long might as well keep. Although it does free up a lot. I wouldn't bother with ward either might as well just go one of the other three for 0.4 less assuming it is the Burnley one. To be honest you team seems fine maybe better to do Foster to Pope for Burnley? Diouf I guess you could leave too really. Kola/Mbemba/Foster would be the ones I would be looking to shuffle first.

Indeedy - if he can reproduce the pre-injury form. Bournemouth haven't been as good this year though but that could change with the fixtures

[swadd1er]

Thinking of the following:

Vardy Rashford
Atsu Groß

Exact money available. What do people think? From what I’ve read it looks like Jones will be fit.

Edit: Just noticed that Cedric is going to drop tonight so I may shift him today for someone. Southampton have been poor defensively and he’s offered next to nothing attacking wise. Surely someone better for 5.0. I could do a -4 or do Cedric and Vardy out for free. Groß can wait I think.

Second edit: Had a further look at options and i think I’m stuck on Cedric Stones and Vardy Rashford. Exact money so i’m going to pull the trigger before Cedric’s drop tonight.

Any opinions on it all would be appreciated.

[No Way Jose]

Depends on the rest of your team really. Is cedric D3 or D4? Vardy to rashford isn't too urgent but I'm assuming you want to make the most of the 2-3 good fixtures United have coming up. Atsu is out injured so if he's a starter for you he's more urgent. Any money ITB?

[Kuchi]

Cedric has been supposedly about to drop for about 8 days now. I did him to Daniels last Saturday as he was around 101% to drop. I wouldn't worry about that also I would get rid of him if you could. I'm keeping Vardy for now but may go for King if he looks like he has his old form back. Rashford I don't really like myself as he could share gametime with Martial. For 7.6 that is a hard sell for me.

[swadd1er]

Cedric is defender 3 so i’m shipping him out. I wouldn’t be playing Atsu away at United anyway so he’s not an issue and I can genuinely see Rashford getting a couple of goals in the next few matches.

Fixtures-wise removing Alonso is a bit stupid and having him so long would make a haul really painful to bear. Think you're right about keeping him. Just wish he wasn't swallowing up so much cash.

Foster to Pope is the best shout.

[crack_chap]

Thinking of going Eriksen -> Mkhi for United's good run of fixtures with a view of Sterling -> Alli for next week.

There's a chance Mkh won't even start though...

[swadd1er]

Missed the “supposed” Cedric price drop lastnight, however, I woke up to see that he hadn’t which is good news. Still thinking of shifting him and Vardy out for Stones and Rashford.

Although, do I dare go Vardy to Firmino again?

[guerinl]

Thinking of doubling up on Chelsea defence. Getting Courtois and 1 defender. Azpi obviously the safe, if expensive bet. Anyone know if Christensen is likely to get a run in the team?

[Panserjohan]

So... is Luiz out? I`m sitting on D. Luiz since the WC, but it seemes that he is out of favour?
Maybe Christensen (sorry for high jacking your post guerinl), is a cheap way in?

Cedric has been about to drop for more than a month now, but it's quite obvious by now that FPL price change websites aren't reliable anymore especially for drops. Mee had a similar case about a month ago.

So I wouldn't rely on them to make transfer decisions.

[First Sub Podcast]

Jones and RLC have picked up flags. Jesus may be a more certain starter if Aguero misses out.

Still need to wait until Friday, is Jesus Lukaku still a decent move with 1FT considering the next two GW's only?

[swadd1er]

Who’s nailed in the Chelsea defence then?

[eastcentral1]

Who’s nailed in the Chelsea defence then?

Azpi (for Chelsea if not Spain). Alonso to a lesser extent.

[swadd1er]

Cedric dropped lastnight grrrrrr

[Owsler]

Already done Foster --> Pope (price change sites are terrible at the moment - he was due a rise last night)

Tempted to do:

Jones --> Azi (to join Alonso because why not)
Hazard --> Pogba

But waiting on news.

I think long term is it a good move. Will be making it myself as I want to have Lukaku for at least the next 2 then probably do Vardy to Morata.

I'd hold on Pogba. Most news is he's gonna miss this weekend from what I've read anyway

[Highlander12]

Team currently set up as follows:
0.1m ITB
Elliot (Foster)
Alonso Daniels Naughton Wimmer (Rosenoir)
Salah Sterling Gross (Ritchie, Chalobah)
Kane Lukaku Morata

Some options i'm considering are:
1) Ritchie Loftus-Cheek / Rosenoir Jones (-4)
2) Ritchie Loftus-Cheek / Rosenoir Jones / Foster Pope (-8)
3) Ritchie Shaqiri
4) Ritchie Shaqiri / Foster Pope (-4)
5) Foster Speroni / Ritchie Richarlison
6) Alonso Jones / Ritchie Richarlison / Foster Courtois (-8)

Option 1 and then Foster -> Pope next week

So this plan has been foiled. Likely Jones and RLC could both miss out. Now considering option 5 or 4?

Tough as wanted RLC but can just ship Chalobah out for him when he’s fit. 0.1m in the bank so tough to find a Ritchie replacement...Speroni in for Foster funds Richarlison, thoughts?

[Kuchi]

Richarlison a season keeper for me. Speroni a risk but seems a good risk to take. Option 5 I like out of the 2.

[Caf]

Change of plan for me, as the latest Jones news leaves me with only three playing defenders, all 4.5ers!

So Alderweireld -> Daniels looks likely.

I will then have another FT and funds to do Vardy -> Kane with 0.1m spare.

Question is, do I do that transfer this week for a relatively poor fixture, or hold on until GW13?

Or the third option, which is to bring in Lukaku now instead. This was the original plan and he becomes this week’s captain - but it makes getting Kane a lot harder (it would take a hit and some downgrading next week).

Advice welcome
