Differential needed

[DarkStyles]

Hi All

need help deciding which differential I should transfer in my team for week 13 and 14
looking to transfer out kane and keep salah and Aguero, so money is no object!
im 3rd in mini league and teams above me have the following strikers:
leader - kane, aguero, laca
2nd place - kane, aguero, salah
narrowed my options to Jesus, Morata, Martial

what do you guys think? or should I consider someone else?
(has to be a striker as I already have 4 midfielders and they are all mid range price wise)

Thank you

Maybe Jamie Vardy if you’re doing just those game weeks.

brighton away
Southampton home
Watford home
Fulham away

vardy is a good shout!
Thanks

As a differential maybe... as someone who’s been massively disappointing so far? Definitely.

How much of a gamble is required this far out?
Not to mention you’ll want to get Kane back in in December. So is it wise to take a punt on a differential not to mention you want to make up points by removing probably the highest scoring player of the last 4 years.

Seems a needless risk to me.

[Zimmerman]

He’s played in 11/14 games
Scored points in 3/11
Zero points in 7/11
-3 in the other.

Definitely wouldn't be going near Vardy. Martial or Morata for me but I think I would be swaying towards keeping Kane and going for a differential somewhere else in midfield or defence.

Even if your 100 points behind you only need make up about 15 points a month or so to swing that. Without Kane I would think you have no chance

[tootie69]

I agree with cclem,you take him out and possibly struggle to get him back in,he is capable of turning his form around.how about richarlison,decent fixtures for next 2 months.

[ronny10]

Kane or vardy

Tough one, I wonder how many times vardy has outscored Kane over a month in the last 2 or 3 seasons!

[DarkStyles]

Ok not Vardy lol
The 2 options winning the poll so far are Martial and Keep Kane
Interesting

[Jules]

You asked for a differential for the next two game weeks, not the next two months. For those game weeks, there’s not many teams you could bank on doing well over that period. Leicester have a decent run, as do City. Most of the league only play 3 games. I’d be making sure your plan is to bring Kane back in for December, so whatever you decide to do ensure you have that plan.

How about switching Kane to a midfielder? Out of the top teams, only City have four games that you’d say are favourable. So maybe Sterling, or David Silva?

[Zimmerman]

He already has 4 midfielders

[Blademan]

Doesn't your opponents differential then become Kane ?

Totally see your point.
My plan is to take Kane out and bring him back for week 17 onwards where the fixtures are kinder.
In the mean time martial and or morata have good fixtures and can provide a short term boost ...

True, cclem and tootie. Kane is capable of getting hattricks every week but at the moment he is playing a deeper role and having less shots. So I am trying to take advantage of this fact.
I could be wrong tho

Yes plan to bring Kane back for week 17
If I could bring a midfielder then d Silva would be my first choice ... but can't have 5 midfielders

[DarkStyles]

True...
But if Kane flops then I'll make up ground
That's a big IF

[ronny10]

What does your team look like and how far are you actually behind

[DarkStyles]

Ederson
Stones
VVD
Laporte
Pedro
Barkley
Mahrez
B Silva
Aguero
Salah
Kane

0.1 in bank
1 transfer left
30 points behind

[ronny10]

30 pts is nothing and still a couple of weeks till the next lot of transfers, hold the transfer in case of injury.

Your team looks ok to me.

If you wanted to get rid of one of the front 3 in order to bring in sterling or hazard and had the transfers to do so then fair enough but you can't, swapping out 1 of them now just to chase a few points that you probably won't make up with that move seems like a tinker.

Decide how you want your team to look going into December and use the last transfer to aid that.

Imagine if you take out Kane for whoever then someone gets injured this weekend!

[Ex-Pro-Gaffer]

That team is fine, maybe a little bit too defence heavy (budget wise) for my liking, I’d be tempted to downgrade the defence a little to allow and upgrade for Mane/Hazard/Sterling, you have neither of them, personally I want 2/3, currently looking at getting all 3

[Ex-Pro-Gaffer]

Looking at something like this , private mini league team and unsure as of yet

Opinions appreciated as I steal DS’s thread

Come December I'd like to have d Silva in my team and get rid of Pedro and Barkley.
My team needs a bit of tinkering and might have to downgrade my defence a little. Stones might be likely option...

Man city have fantastic fixtures but I may end up too man city heavy. Great when they win 5-0 but terrible if they draw or lose.
Sterling is a really good shout!

Those changes look good to me - just like a pro

[Biddles32]

I agree with what Ron says DS - keep that last transfer. Your team is in good shape

[Biddles32]

Aim to get Hazard in For December though. Maybe lay off a transfer in final game week of this month to set yourself up to get him in....

I'm sure lindelof is injured, withdrawn after 45mins in latest friendly for another centre back,so guess it wasn't tactical, may want to have an alternative ready for team news Saturday just in case
