UFPL Transfer Window Discussion

I thought I only had 6 transfers but turns out I have 9!

I'm considering downgrading Hazard to Pedro and getting Walker in somewhere else. Any remaining transfers will be used to sort out my 4.5m defenders. Might try and upgrade some cheap midfelders too.

Anyone going for Costa/Rooney ?

who would have tought i could say this... iwill have the differential that is eden hazard.. at 15th at moment and thinking he could take me higher

I wouldn't. If you do have to keep him though I'd have two very nailed on keepers to go with him. Also I think a goalkeeper from one of the top teams is vital because they'll play a lot of their games on Sunday which enables you to have two goalies in most weeks.

I'm keeping but I'm not overjoyed with it. I just have bigger holes to plug elsewhere (unbelievably!).

i would keep.. this game is about explosiveness and i have seen enough to think he has the potential to do that..

Thanks for the replies everyone

Spurs will be bad all season without a proven striker to support Kane and a leaky defence

I've got Toby and Chadders but selling Kane

you can start by removing borini for wilson.

I think he is one of the best Arsenal options in UFPL, you avoid the gambling on who will play.

As a punt maybe Oxlade-Chamberlain could be a interesting choice, it's great that the format allows you get a couple of players who tend to play but are not necessarily nailed.

I did want him but now I'm not so sure - so expensive! Think there's value elsewhere.

I agree about the low ownership factor, could really help jump up the ranks with a couple of low owned but potenitally large scoring players, especially in the UFPL format that allows you to take a few punts.

In midfield for example, players under 10% ownership include Ramsey, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Ozil, Mata, Bolasie, Mane, Eriksen, Walcott, Shaqiri, Tadic, Lens, Sako........ (Ok maybe not Wally)

Ritchie's on my radar as well. Nailed on, involved, low ownership, getting cheaper although still a tad expensive for my taste.

Many of these players rely on somebody scoring the goals. So, it depends on how Son and N'Jie work how much Eriksen's got appeal, Tadic's appeal is significantly reduced by Pellè.

its a risk but could be excellent differential. whats ur OR?

Thinking about KDB myself, depends how many extra transfers I have really

Never mind, found it!

I'm going with Aguero Sanchez Pedro

gonna stick with haz cos thats who i have but if was piccking team from scratch would take pedro instead. might also choose naughton over williams but again cant do that. ritchie..mah i think ppl are trying to persuade themselves of something thats not there.. maybe im wrong. dont have a sub to get ayew in but that feels like my biggest miss.

KDB potentially

Already have Williams which is nice. Think I need to look at Pedro closely too

got alot of wasted money in my team including him and hazard to name but 2 but so many cheap options overperforming its not hard to keep em there as not short of cash.. the thing i am short of is transfers have 5 left wish i had 7 or 9 would be perfect.

I think to survive until the next transfer window, it's better to go for sure starters. The loan system itself doesn't really work well (you usually end up loosing more points than you gain).

I'd definitely get players like Mahrez/Albrighton, who are nailed and cheap and it's valid to play them.

I had the same last season, with non-playing cheapies and fully agree there are nice options now. I'd still get someone like Wanayama as a budget enabler.

I'm going to play safe I think and just go for Mahrez and 2 x 4.5m starters in that price range

Mahrez and Sinclair are my cheapest mids

I got Sinclair in the beginning and stuck with him. I probably will carry on with him on the off chance he gets another pen 🙂

hmm maybe, but think you need a big hitter up top too, especially as points for goals have no effect on position.

Midfielders generally do relatively better in UFPL as, although they get the same points per goal as forwards, they are much more likely to pick up the extra points for things like recoveries, key passes etc. as a result I think it's a good strategy to not spend too much in attack. However going without Kun for 4 months is very risky in my opinion. I'm going with him then 3 mid range players (7 - 9m) and 2 budget

I'm going Aguero and then probably Benteke/Gomis/Wilson/Sakho or something similar.

Probably the first option, assuming your other 2 keepers are nailed

Hmm...think I'd keep Targett. He has done well and although Bertie is nearing a return Koeman may feel he won't need to rush him back and he may get another chance if there's another full back injury. However there now seems to be a lot of competition in West Hams midfield after their flurry of transfer activity. Although the new midfielders are wide men, it may mean others like Kouyate and Payet being pushed back into the middle where Oxford got his games earlier on

so now its a question of working out what these later mds are actually worth... at first i thought ok they are the equivalent of an extra player but i soon realised its a lot more complicated than that. and no need to stuff myself with spurs after all..

i have no Utd and only one Arsenal and Chelsea!

The only thing that puts me off KDB is we haven't seen him play and don't know how he's going to fit in. I'd probably play it safe myself but I'm boring!

Difficult, i'd say Pedro,as you want some Chelsea cover.
I suppose it would have to be Ramsey if that's your only Arsenal midfielder.
Personally I've decided to keep Mane aftere last GW though and also went for the
slightly cheaper YYT option

Yeah I'm looking at bringing in Kane for that exact reason and I'll probably get a defender too - probably Walker.

how long is courtois out for? not sure begovic is worth it when you can someone like loris or howard in who are both nailed on. other than looks a winner, much better than what i've managed

Looks fairly decent to me - plenty of options, decent keeper line up.

Think i'd squeeze Gomis or Ayew in there

defence is very heavy and mid pretty weak.

looks good up top

Wrong article but go for a) and captain him.

stop asking the same damn question

I have, other ones are Schmeichel and McCarthy, not ideal i know

I think it's fine as long as you've got good cover.
