Dugout Discussion – Brighton vs Newcastle

Shame you can't do chic to Vardy without taking a hit

Ramsey to Silva
Chic to someone cheaper.

Or Ramsey & salah to Silva & cout

I'd drop Ramsey and Chicharito to LoftusCheek and Morata if the cash works out. Not sure if that'd leave cash but you could get a better defender for a -4. I think Morata could keep pace for the Golden boot.

no

No, why would you want rid of Salah? Season keeper for me bar injury or loss of limbs

No

Coutinho is cheaper and a better player than Salah, and will Salah start with Coutinho and Mane back?

Other option i Mane.. who is the pick of the 3 at pool if you had to choose one?

I think it is. Liverpool have a hectic schedule and they will face rotation. Coutinho is 0.4m cheaper and will hoover up the bonus. Salah will score more goals but I think Coutinho will get more points and 0.4m is a lot on what is basically a coin toss.

No! Salah over Cout

I can see the logic if you're desperate for cash. Coutinho is much better player than Salah and will probably get more PL minutes between now and the end of the season than him. The BPS factor could give him a higher points total too if Cout's output keeps pace with Salah's

Salah is getting things done. I don't think Coutinho will rise too much in value as Coutinho is prone to alot of 2 point gameweeks.

Every game I've watched Liverpool, Salah always has a great goal scoring chance. Salah will get points and we'll worry about rotation risk later on.

Problem for me is Coutinho plays too deep which means the likelihood of goals is lower (unless he scores one of those curling shots from outside the area)

Personally Salah over Coutinho.

Why not have a punt?
Just consider when you trade to maximize any falls and rises.
.1 could be critical for the WC

Assuming you already have Lukaku? If so Kane is as good a shout as any this week.

No. I just watched his goals. 1st was very well taken.

Joselu needs to watch those goals to see how it's done.

Mental - maybe the name badger badger mushroom mush is a hint 🙂

I don't how nailed he is but good fixtures on the way and looked good.

Sometimes you gotta be ballsy and go with your gut as long as the transfer has some merit

The problem is that he's yet another addition to an already big pool of players who might play in attacking positions for Everton: Up top a maximum of 2 out of Rooney, C-L, Sandro, and Niasse, and then Siggy, and Klaasen just behind. Pretty crowded.

Having said that, I bought C-L last week...

Jones

Posted below. Thinking of moving Alonso onto allow for Silva upgrade in mid. Next move looks like Davies > otamendi if Davies isn't guaranteeing starts and city keep blowing teams away. Ota also looks a goal threat every game. Kos also loves to bomb forward at 6m

Otamendi might be the most cost effective option. Azpilicueta may be worth considering too

I can't bring myself to get rid of Alonso up coming fixtures are nice and well he's Alonso
If I did Otamendi looks great value and leaves you 1.4 ITB

I like the cresswell option.

Yeah looks a good move to me as Silva will be near to top MF and the £5m def slot seems solid this year. Cresswell for four weeks is a good option.

Good options imo. Morata could be a real diff as ppl go with Kane kun kaku & he's focal yo Chelsea attack

Sounds like a good plan

Yep easy decision. Morata is one of the best classic no 9s in Europe. A better player than Kane in my opinion.

Good team, Save

Is Aguero in your thoughts?

If Jesus plays 90 against Shaktar while Aguero wears a a suit in the stands, then you're in for another nervous weekend...

And if Jesus then plays 180 in the South American qualifiers while Aguero drinks Mate on the bench, well...

Otamendi

Otamendi

Silva

Silva if no Kaku, Mkhit if no Aguero

Silva

I sold. Preserved value. Rather have Coutinho in time. Vardy more pivotal to Leicester scoring with good fixtures.

last chance saloon against Toon

Stick. Firmino will come good.

Sold for Vardy
Reasons for
1. Vardy is a proven, nailed, regular scorer + great fixture this gw
2. Firmino has been known to go on long runs of blanks
3. Firmino hasn't been known to do well in big matches, 2 of his next 3 are big matches
4. Studge & CL will affect Firmino's minutes

I want to see how Pool perform with Coutinho, Mane & Salah and him.
There's a chance his output may become more consistent and/or rise in that set up.

Sold for Vardy.

I like B

Morata. But i wouldnt use a transfer till after next GW

B

He's not great so wouldn't have thought he will be playing for long.

abd

bad

Nice team. Perhaps a defender change but nothing stands out.

Under 55 mins

I would.

Same here. Will be priced out tonight but can't justify doing Mkhi vs Palace to Silva at Chelsea even though Silva is the one I want long term.

Might be worth it yeah

Considering him after the international break but only because I can't afford Silva.

y

Definitely.

Oh yeah.

no

Maybe yes - not for -8 or -12 though and depend on rest of your team.

Btw how many way can ask the same question a different way should you not be off on service for her majesty or something
Maybe you are and there's a lull in the mission 🙂

No, not for -8, wouldn't be keen to lose Kun at all

Not for me.

Losing Kun on -8 when he has STK, BUR, wba, ARS is kind of nuts.

I say do it.

Gota do what you gota do

Same boat! Problem is the next fixtures! So hard to decide

Yep but I think Mkhitaryan will keep pace with Silva despite upcoming Man Utd fixtures.

Aguero vs Chelsea seems a bit weird.

I have to be honest, I'd be very tempted by that

wait to see CL game in midweek

Not worth a hit this week imo.

If you are going to do it do it tonight before Firminho falls. Looks good to me.

I'm not a Brady or Burnley attack fan but it looks fine.

Nah, looks good for next gw, would have said Jones in but he's already risen

3 big hitters really do compromise the rest of team don't they. Id say your close to a WC for sure. Defence needs tidying a bit

I honestly don't see anything worth doing.

Cheers all.

g2g TM
Lukaku (c) 😀

Not really willing to give someone who's far better at this game than I advice, but I would say if you're going to WC in GW8 then maybe Aguero to Firmino (or Vardy butfor a week. Can tidy defence on WC (Daniels, Suttner, Long, Carrick, etc.)

Dunno if you saw this earlier:
MCI: che -172
LIV: new 118
LEI: bou 234
MUN: CPL 401
ARS: BRI 410
EVE: BUR 452

Hope that helps 🙂

Very weak defence, but thats not really problem as the cheap ones do pretty good compared to the priced ones. But as you got kane, lukaku and aguero there isnt much money for anyone else 🙂

But ritchie looked really really REEEEEEEEEEALLY poor today and the one maybe worth having at newcastle is atsu in my opinion (i highly REGRET taking ritchie over atsu on my wildcard, but mostly due to the fact that i cant get morata for just 2 transfers......).

Btw, I tried to post in the LMS thread to see if im still in it or if im out (is there an own thread for that competition?)

Can you say if i have failed the last gameweeks as i had some weak rounds before this one.

GW3: 57
GW4: 47
GW5: 59
GW6: 69

sorry for the off-topic 🙂

80% you'll be fine.
