Christmas Transfers (GW 18) Monday 26 December '11 11:30 GMT

Also the start of Fantasy Cup for many :!:

Got 2 free transfers but in a dilemma.

Need to dump Eagles, Sessegnon and Walters out, but want to get Silva back in which isn't possible as I'll only have 8.0 to spend between two other midfielders

I'm liking

Aguero :arrow:

Balotelli
Eagles :arrow:

Adam

If I'm honest with you.

A hell of a lot of potential risers tonight BTW.

Two freebies and need to get ManU coverage in. I don't want to get rid of Sturridge, Suarez and RvP so Nani is the most obvious choice and for that Larsson and L.Enrique need to make way to fund that. Otherwise only Larsson :arrow:

Valencia and leaving me 1.5 in the piggybank and an extra transfer to roll over. Tough decision... or is it. Perhaps Valencia is worth it and not having Nani.

Would still love to get Rooney in, but simply can't make it work. With two free transfers:

Transfer 1
Will definitely bring Sturridge in, either for Ba or Adebayor. Doesn't seem much point dumping Ade out, only to have to get him back in for GW20, though.

Transfer 2a
Might do Dyer :arrow:

?, but there's so much dross out there for £6m and under. Drenthe doesn't appeal now that Swansea's past.

Transfer 2b
Alternatively McAuley :arrow:

Evans would admit complete defeat on Rooney and fill me up on Man U.

Walters is home to Villa and Wigan next - gets most of his points at home.

Hmmm ... only just noticed this too, I was planning to take him out so I could have a MF containing all the top boys, (Nani, Silva, Bale) but I realize it won't work now so will probably just make plans to get rid of Sess and Eagles.

You do know spurs have a DGW and excellent fixtures?

I know - lunacy right?

But their away games are not better than Man Utd's home fixtures. Besides, their double is still two game weeks away, just enough time to accumulate 2 free transfers.

I like it too, good team indeed. Now let's see how fast you'll change your mind

stuboy · **Posted:** 20 Dec 2011, 23:57

Yak > Sturridge

Now if people can buy Yak tonight so I can get one more price rise I'd be very appreciative. He's already at 98%!!

Perhaps if you ask me nicely...

Bale

Allen
Ba

Rooney

2 freebies.

Will probably pull the trigger tonight to avoid a Bale drop / Rooney rise.

Just after the GW20 transfer window closes :wink:

(although I will prob wait until GW22 until I use the WC)

I will prob only change 3 or 4 players.

Very

as well, though I quite fancy Ridley's more though come to think of it (although you have Vermaelen 8-)

)

Crooker · **Joined:** Tue Jun 28 2011 **Posts:** 543

that arsenal block will pay huge dividends in the coming weeks just you wait 8-)

Gareth · **Joined:** Sat Aug 12 2006 **Posts:** 1403

actually maybe walters to drenthe if drenteh performs

Crooker · **Joined:** Tue Jun 28 2011 **Posts:** 543

dont think so gareth, id love a disgusting red soap block for the fixtures theyve got coming up. one of them two should have scored at the weekend as well.

Boring transfers for me.

Replacing bench players with my 2 free

Westwood :arrow:

Sorenson
Brown :arrow:

Shotton

Benching both. This is for next week, my current 11 looks beasty for GW18

dyer and wilkinson :arrow:

surman(bench fodder) and j evans

j evans and jones a bit much?

I've got Smalling and Jones

A Man U block is good if you ask me. Most likely team to keep clean sheets.

Robin Write · **Posted:** 21 Dec 2011, 01:58

Tricky one this.

Has to be a Chelsea defender, probably Terry, but maybe Ivanovic, there must be some clean sheets {and assists/goals} in those fixtures...

Baines, Brown or Hall to make way here...

People bringing in Vermaelen this week is moronic considering the state of their defence.

I'm going to finally drop Rambo unless he rips it up at Villa Park tomorrow night, bring in VDV. If he does earn himself a reprieve, I will do Formica :arrow:

Bale

i agree, people bringing the big V in deserve to be shot on sight.

Charade · **Posted:** 21 Dec 2011, 02:28

Thinking of doing Wilkinson to Shotton but honestly I have no idea.

Want to get rid of Shawcross and Walters too. Meh. Might just end up doing Walters to Drenthe.
