GW33 Transfers - Deadline 18.30, FRIDAY 23rd April

[Oxford NZ]

Best week to use wildcard? Need to redo my defence ASAP so thinking this week just not sure how to navigate the rest of the game weeks then...

Also got BB available. Here’s my current team with 1 FT and 1.5m ITB:

Martínez
Coufal, Dallas,Cancelo, Azpilicueta, Stones
Detway, Gündogan, Lingard, Salah, Son
Kane

McCarthy, Bamford, Watkins, Raphinha

Any help would be great!

McCarthy to Patricio would be a good move with the BB
In the defensive line up I would look at TAA, Fofana, Coady, Rudiger, Shaw.
I am sure you have an idea who you want in the mid and forward line ups . good luck and let us know how the WC pans out

[gray821]

I have the same post-wildcard Mendy and Forster dilemma, having changed from Martinez and Johnstone. Looks a silly move right now doesn’t it?!

Already have Coady, so looking towards Patricio for a Wolves double up.

[Bixer]

Leaning towards rolling. Playing a slightly unusual 5-4-1 this week if I have to bench Kane and Son, but those 5 defenders are TAA (NEW), Coady (BUR), Rudiger (wha), Fofana (CRY), Shaw (lee), so I'm actually relatively happy to play them all.

Lots suggesting Kepa only played against Brighton as a reward for his performance against City in the FA Cup and expect Mendy to regain his place so I'm happy to wait for now. If he's dropped again I'll worry about it next week.

Rumours also coming out this morning that Jota's injured. Worst case scenario I'm happy to take the punt on the fact a few Villa fans want Davis to start alongside Watkins this weekend, so he might come on against West Brom. If I had the exact money I'd be tempted to swap him for Greenwood, but I'm frustratingly £0.1m short so another problem I'd rather wait on.

[TheBigLewandowski]

Wood > Watkins
Phillips > Dunk

2 FT's

Yup, he hasn't trained yesterday.
Klopp's presser at 1:30pm today, hopefully he'll address it

I have enough ITB to do Jota -> Greenwood for -4 after doing Kane -> Vardy so will probably do that if Jota is confirmed out.
Then it'll be another -4 next week to bring Kane back (if he's fit) by downgrading either Bruno or Castagne

Thanks mate. Worth using the wildcard now then you think to get the defenders in?

A lot of pressure on Vardy to make up for this, in just one game

why not wait for news on DGW 35 and use then

he was my free transfer this week so not really, the pressure will be on Greenwood this week if I decide to bring him in and on Kane next week if he makes it back to my team

Greenwood this week is not a must have, but if Jota doesn't play then I have Vydra and Mitchell on the bench meaning I might end up with only 10 players

[Aldershot Rejects]

Kane to Vardy done and pondering Son to Bruno (-4).

[TheBigLewandowski]

Deliberating over taking Jota out for Greenwood for a -4 or not. I would have Bissouma subbing in for 2 points more than likely regardless. Hmmmm

[tarkens]

Jota is fine and available for tomorrow according to Klopp

Any word on Philips?

I wouldn't take a hit for that.

It sounds like you planned to use two transfers to hop on Vardy for one week (whether or not you do the Greenwood move).

Cheers. May shift him for Veltman and take a punt on Son to Troussard

[jacksosi]

Probably Laca -> Watkins

[Gambit]

With jota being confirmed fit and mendy back in, its either:

Wood to Vardy
Kane to vardy
Son to Bruno

The doubts around the fitness of kane are pushing me to sacrifice him, can always do wood to kane in 34 if hes fit

I too would like two Vardys this GW

Edit: missed the either in your post so now I have pie in my face

I'm in a similar boat. Considering either:

Son->Salah

Or

Kane->Vardy
Maddison->Salah(-4)

Leaning towards the former, which was the original plan. Kane was back in 10 days when he twisted both(!) his ankles in January. Difficult to tell how serious it is this time, but he left the field walking. As long as he doesn't go full-tilt in the cup final (which he might), he should be okay for SHU imo.

Vardy though, is very tempting, esp 33-35, after which can always go back to Kane.

[flare2]

A lot of issues with my team.

Mendy/Azpi: hoping both will be back
Forster: seems dropped
Phillips (Liv): doesn't sound too serious so happy to hold
Kane/Gundo: not playing

Got 2FT but zero money in the bank. One week punt on Forster -> Peacock-Farrell maybe?

Feeling a bit demoralised by FPL, dropped from OR of 6k to over 100k. Ruing choosing Vardy/Phillips over TAA/Iheanacho.

[DeanoMK]

2 free transfers done.

Mendy > Schmeichel
Son > Trossard

Will reverse the Son transfer next week, just fancied Leandro as a one week punt.

[Sammy the Crab]

With Mendy back in and Jota fit I have brought in Vardy for Kane. I can't reverse the transfer in one move but will have two free transfers next week so shouldn't be a major problem.

[Spreadsheet]

Gone a bit rogue/end-season differential territory... and predictably now half-regretting it:

(-4)

Cancelo >> Ait Nouri
Gundogan >> Salah
Kane >> Maupay

Kept some cash to turn DCL or Vardy back to Kane if he’s fit again after the League Cup final in time for SHU (along with Son who I’m benching this week), but also possibly WC in GW34 for a (BB) DGW35 subject to how schedules fall (ie whether it is indeed 35 or later) and when things get announced (ie if it’s kind enough for me to plan a BB the week before on WC).

[thekitkatshuffler]

Son Jota

Which funds...

Phillips Trent


Planning to get Son straight back next week for Fernandes.

Son Jota which funds Phillips Trent.
