GW21 Transfers - Deadline: 01 Jan 11:30

[Gambit]

Anyone looking at annoyingly having to replace Rashford, who are we thinking?

Looking like it's between Arnautovic, Wilson and Jiminez for me. Wolves arguably just about shade it fixture wise over the next 6 (GW23 apart), but the other two are more explosive and probably better players generally..

not unless it's confirmed as a medium term injury, just the Newcastle game, that's not too bad, just take it as a rotated game which can happen to any player and then he's back after the FA Cup game. The United fixtures are great until early March and Rashford now looks the standout striking option in that price bracket, OGS loves him and he'll play loads, no way is he being a player from the bench, far too good for that. Think he's been the standout player after Pogba, incredible value with the fixtures and form of United.

ITB 0.5

Fabianski, Losll
Alonso, Robertson, TAA, Doherty, AWB
Salah, Hazard, Pogba, Eriksen, Lingard,
Rashford, Jiminez, Ings.

Is there any players I should consider transferring out? How can I further improve my squad?

[RuudTheDudeVanTheMan]

Hernandez Jimenez. Left with .3 itb to do Ederson Allison next week.

Why the keeper move? costs you a transfer and 0.3 too.

Looking at the underlying stats, even of the most basic xG models, it's very likely there will be a redressing in terms of goals conceded by Liverpool. Also City won't keep getting done by goal of the season/month contenders.

Isn't there a small chance City have a DGW in 25 as a bonus to keeping Ederson?

Ignore me by all means but this looks like a classic mistake transfer.

City can't defend while Pool have the best defence in the league. The mistake transfer was bringing Ederson in in the first place.

How many premium striker spots do you have and are you able to upgrade Rashford to another?

Other two are Kane and Lacazette (game time is an issue, but I feel he may start and do well tomorrow) and I have £1.6m in the bank... none of my mids look downgradable at the minute though, happy with who I have there..

I'm holding, and that's with Balbuena out injured leaving me with a weakened bench. Hoping there won't be too much rotation or resting this week...

Question is, would you want him back in immediately after he's declared fit. If so, I'd hold.

yes, he's currently the best pick in that price bracket, any United fan will tell you he's a class above Lukaku so can't see him losing his place, if that does happen then he'll have to go, but as long as he's fit and playing he will get a lot of points, especially with those fixtures.

In my opinion you’re making the mistake of looking at the goals against and clean sheet columns. Keeper points are especially random. Take a look at the underlying defensive stats of the 2 teams.

[sstaffsw]

I've got 2FTs but I'm struggling to use them. I considered Ings Rashford but there are injury doubts. I might end up burning a transfer and rolling unless anyone can suggest anything?

Well, I'd consider a Chelsea defender. But before burning a FT I'd downgrade Patricio Button and bank 0.5m, assuming you intend to keep Allison. No need to have a 2nd playing GK with him because you will start him every week anyway.

[Pulpy]

After deliberating all day I've gone for Son and Robertson to Hazard and Jonny. I didn't want to lose Son until next week but had to sacrifice somebody to bring in and captain Hazard. As Son had to go soon he was the most obvious candidate.

A return to a Wolves double up at the back, Alonso will become a Liverpool defender in a few weeks.

Alonso becoming a Liverpool defender? Inside transfer knowledge?

May be of interest for those of you asking about Rashford. Hardly conclusive!

Thanks Ruth, however, I intend to start Patricio against Palace. Let's see how that pans out!

Happy New Year all on FISO

[FP1990]

Maybe more for RMT, but brought vardy in last week as a risk.. A stupid one it turns out. Now can afford to change for auba or laca for the Fulham match. Is there a real chance auba gets rested after his performance vs Liverpool that makes lac the safer option?

[Ruth_NZ]

Aubameyang did nothing wrong against Liverpool.

[Oxford NZ]

Apart from getting caught off side Aubameyang got him self into some good positions and worked hard imo. Still a great captain option for this week. Arsenal need to work on the final ball and staying on side more ( as well as working on the defence). But that was watching on a TV screen and not at the match.

[Stena Bib]

Sideways, Robertson > TAA

[Blue Fire]

Salah -> Hazard (C)

[Gambit]

https://twitter.com/BenDinnery/status/1 ... 9519360007

fairly positive that? says tired rather than injured, still think he could be rested but at least not confirmed as having a groin strain, won't get 90 minutes but hopefully fit enough for an hour or so.

[carver]

Rashford -> Jiménez

Can always bring rashford back at a later date

Changed mind . Rolling . Squad can cope

[From4corners]

I did Snodgrass to Gudmundsson. Just a hunch.

[Notned]

Rolled it over in the end, so hopefully Rashford is fit enough to play some part.

Yoshida TAA

Prepping for Son out next gameweek.
