2018/19 Budget midfielders 4.5-5.5

[Gambit]

Who is looking the best budget midfielder at the moment, quite a few standing out:

Paterson
J Murphy
Kenedy
Snodgrass
Deulofeu

Deulofeu is the best player I think but West Ham have some outstanding fixtures and with the injuries they have Snodgrass looks sure to play. Proven track record of pushing 150 points when he gets the minutes, is 5.3m a potential bargain? Think he might be worth it.

If you have Arnie already would you still take a punt on Snoddy over Deulofeu?

edging towards Deulofeu now, I'd missed that Snodgrass was on four yellows as Joccki kindly pointed out, it's off putting to think he could miss an easy fixture, wouldn't be too bad if he got a yellow that ruled him out of the GW13 City game but my luck is not that good

Diangana very bright for West Ham today - 4.5 mid

[carver]

Who do we like in this bracket for the Xmas run? Must start a high % of games

Brooks/Paterson look the safe bets

Some punty options Snodgrass etc

[Pulpy]

Snodgrass and Armstrong could do well in the next few weeks if anyone is looking for a midfielder in that price range.

To add to Pulpy’s comment, this is a look at how Saints tactics will differ under the new boss (from their official website). Good news for Armstrong owners and also, perhaps, for Redmond. https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-12- ... eague-1819

Is Camarasa still best cheap option and did he go off injured at the weekend again?

[hancockjr]

I think Hjojberg is, assuming he stops getting sent off.

[FranckKessie]

Arh, so thats the reason for him not playing the last two. I may opt for him as he is cheaper. Thanks.

[From4corners]

I know he doesn't fit the price bracket, but Puncheon is my choice.

[MoSe]

you hope he'll be Puncheon above his price

[FranckKessie]

I bought Hojbjerg yesterday. Hopefully he renaissance nailed. Huddersfield changing coach meant I wasnt sure on Puncheon but for those who can wait a bit he may be the man for S3 spot.

[Fuzz]

I think Herrera is worth a look.

[Mike1989]

At 5.5 Nasri could be a bargain. He looks be set to be used in the number ten role behind the striker. Ok he might be a rotation risk as he builds fitness and might not play a full 90, but if he can replicate last weekends performance then he’s a solid option to go with in that price range.

[Notned]

I've had Hojbjerg a while now. Thought about getting rid of him when he got suspended so I had an extra player to come on if needed, but I think he's probably about the best bet for a fifth midfielder for your bench. He seems to be playing a slightly more advanced role under the new manager, has a small share in set pieces, and decent fixtures.
