Some very good teams in this league of which mine is not one. Jimenez is a problem.

Not liking your team much Murf either

Jimenez is a problem.

Not liking your team much Murf either

Nor am I!

Made 2 transfers yesterday. Would have been more if KdB had started. Would have bought Tammy Abraham for a 4th but thought it foolish with him being away to Jiminez who he was due to replace and has first game next week. Sometimes you should say 'sod it' and bite bullet... but I never do.

Jimenez to Abraham next week is one I have planned and save some cash toboot.

Have Abraham pencilled in for other teams too - for your bloody Adams. Again put off because of better timing next weekend One team has Pukki so a little better (although means I can't/won't justify free scoring Tammy - 0.1 short of ditching Jota for him).

Adams unlucky not to get 2 yesterday

[murf]

KWP to Cantwell.

Was holding but I am worried that either the injury is worse than feared/reported or he won't get his place back (regularly enough). Cantwell will do for now. Good VFM.

Digne L 3.6
Cantwell T 2.4
Sterling R 6.5
Salah M 7.0
Abraham T 4.3
Pukki T 4.6
Aguero S 7.0







Transfers Left:- 31
Value of Team:- 49.8

Reasons for Transfers :-
Free Transfer 1 Jimenez Maguire Potential injury and a new Wolves striker in the equation to season long Maguire.
Free Transfer 2 Aguero Salah Concerned about initial fitness and possible reduced minutes with Jesus.

Haller Kane. Had a look at Haller and West Ham and not that fussed so in comes Harry Kane with good fixtures.
Heaton Pope. Thinking long term Pope will keep more clean sheets and Burnley should be better this year, good value.
Grealish Martial. Playing through the middle in form and good upcoming fixtures, good value at his price point, got to be better than Grealish.
Jota Pukki. Bit of a gamble but one player bang in form and the other isn't, could Pukki be this years Jimenez? Hopefully Norwich do like to attack.
Deulofeu Kyle Walker Peters. Great price for a Spurs defender, it looks like he has the shirt hopefully he can keep it? If not Burns or Soyuncu or Cantwell.
Martial Cantwell. Injury to enabler to free up funds for future move,
Kane Aguero. Fixtures and in form plus most people own him.
KWP Abraham. Injured/lost his place? to inform Chelsea striker. Done early transfer as wont be around tomorrow to make the change.
Maguire Otamendi. Man Utd look dire and Man City don't plus the extra attacking threat also with the defensive injury to Laporte Otamendi looks safe.

[Mystery]

Current teams with scores from last night

[happyhoppy]

So who to ditch Jimenez for, 1 transfer Abraham and cash. 2 transfers gets me Aubameyang or wait for Kane v Saints - hat trick incoming there. Decisions.

Happy Eggs

Ederson 4.5

Alexander-Arnold 4.5
Digne 3.6
Zinchenko 3.2

Salah 7.0
Sterling 6.5
James 3.0
Lanzini 2.8
Cantwell 2.4

Aguero 7.0
Jimenez 5.4 to Abraham 4.3

Transfers Left:- 31
Value of Team:- 48.9

Reasons for Transfers :-
Wolves struggling, Chelsea scoring goals which means a swop to Abraham who is much cheaper is a bit of a no brainer. Plus after today Chelsea have great fixtures.

Was really tempted burning another and bringing in Aubameyang but that will have to wait another day. 9 transfers burned and still near the bottom,

P1 - Aguero to Salah
P2 - Deulofeu to Adams
T1 - Haller to Lanzini - injury/cash raiser
T2 - Heaton to Ederson - upgrade
T3 - Grealish to Emerson - cash raiser, better team/fixtures
T4 - Digne to KWP - cash raiser
T5 - Adams to Aguero - upgrade and fixtures
T6 - Jota to Digne - Ditching bench warmer/rotation risk
T7 - Emerson injured to James in form
T8 - KWP injured to Cantwell in form
T9 - Jimenez to Abraham - form/cheaper

Ederson 4.5

Zinchenko 3.2
Stones 3.8 Guilbert 2.0
Söyüncü 2.3

Salah 7.0
Lanzini 2.8 Abraham 4.3
Aguero 7.0
Pukki 4.6

433

Transfers Left:- 32
Value of Team:- 49.1

Reasons for transfers:- Stones injured so in comes the very cheap Guilbert who may not do well today. Lanzini also injured so in comes Abraham who may not do well today. Dinghy is also cast adrift for Mount who may not do well today. It's radical, it's a change of formation and it's not a team for today but for the future which may or may not be bright.

S Aguero MCY £7.0m M Salah LIV 7.0m
H Kane £6.6m


Transfers Left - 32
Value of Team - £50M

Reasons for Transfers :
Free - Jimenez Gomez - injury doubt, more Liverpool coverage for nice early fixtures.
Free - Haller Salah - CK doubt, more Liverpool coverage for nice early fixtures.
T1 - S Aguero M Rashford - Just a hunch that Jesus starts against Bournemouth so possible 3-0. Can always switch back if not.
T2 - J Gomez KWP - fundraiser
T3 - J Grealish T Pukki - jumping on the Teemu express. he becomes this seasons Jimenez.
T4 - M Salah S Aguero - could’ve just reversed the Rashford transfer but going to do a little daisy chain with the big hitters over the next few games instead.
T5 - M Rashford M Salah - United look poor so daisy chain ended early.
T6 - M Salah H Kane - initial 2-0 but nice run of fixtures for Spurs too.
T7 - G Deulofeu T Abraham - Watford are pants, Chelsea have nice run of games.
T8 - S Aguero M Salah - 2-0 and Aguero due a game without a goal.

[murf]

Abraham in here too. Easy next game so may as well buy today despite the tough fixture.

[Mystery]

Abraham is a popular fella in here. Five transfers in. How's that going so far?

[Maldini]

We tend to plan ahead in this division. Better managers you see.

That's fair in my case. Not sure how I was leading for a time

Comfortably safe....

[Stemania]

Just for the purposes of transparency, Maldini has requested that his account (or accounts!) on FISO are deleted. Presumably this means he will not be participating in this game for the remainder of the season, so I'd suggest that's the assumption upon which you should all proceed. Hopefully it does not cause too much inconvenience.

I've removed a few posts to that effect (and a change of heart on not returning is, of course, possible).

[murf]

Up to 10th....

[happyhoppy]

I’m going to leave things as they are for a while and let the dust settle, Maldini does like to change his mind!

Agreed. Not in breach of rules until he does any more transfers without reporting and even then he should get a little leeway while the dust settles.

Asking for his accounts to actually be deleted does sound like he is seriously peed off with FISO.
