The Knee Jerk – Wednesday

Reply fail!

joe cole probably has better security.. but i liked barkleys game on the weekend and ive actually gone him.. he played an awesome game and the goal topped it off. he is only going to stay on my bench though.

Great idea. I'mn not there yet, but I might be come GW5 haha

Link?

Yeah my one regret was not owning Benteke. Missed that boat now as there is little point getting him with a blank coming up.

So what is the one transfer you have made???

I missed getting Bony, and had to settle for Dzeko instead. By like 2 minutes too. It sucks...

What time did they rise?

Bony!

B, because you should not want Lukaku.

B

B, but I did Lakaku to Lambert, because I think MP would want to give all his strikers some playing time and try different formations.
But go with ur gut on that one, cause it's a tough one.

Q2 : There's the Club Captain and if he's not playing on game-day you have a Team Captain.

I believe that he is great on the bench of my fantasy team.

I hope not.

Michu is doing perfectly fine where he is. I don't need Arsenal to screw that up.

Looks unlikely.

I'm captaining Dzeko personally, he dominated play last game and was unlucky not to get one.
I'm playing ivan over chester as well just because he always has a chance of scoring
Don't do it, You'd be surprised at the end of the season how many more points you can have by not taking a hit. Just give yourself some time. its only gw1

I'd do Soldado over Aguero for assured gametime.

Ivan is the better choice, as Hull will not keep a clean sheet.

Take a hit if you want, but that equates to you earning 1 point more than had you just gone with Zab the whole time.

Dzeko for me even thou I have RvP
Chester and I have both
I did that too 😉

I've done my Chelsea defender to Zabaleta already. Everyone seems to suggest captaining Soldado. But I really do think others will score more points. I'd go for Aguero.

1. Aguero
2. Chester (yes really)
3. Do it. He's worth it and you'll always pine for him as he rises

1. Soldado
2. Chester
3. Don't take a hit for a defender

Thanks for the replies guys. Have a day or two to mull it over at least.

1. Soldado
2. Ivan - goal threat
3. No

I can't see Suarez going anywhere now

Suarez is staying at liverpool, they aren't going to give up their star this year. I think that Arsenal will buy michu personally as well. I doubt Bale will go anywhere this year as well. now christmas transfer is another story

Evening Snake. Hard time to be a Gunner lately, but today's result was refreshing. Why do I feel like this has all happened before....

- RM would have an epic front line with Bale, Suarez and Ronaldo.

- Arsenal desperately need a new midfielder and striker so those signings would be great for them

- I'd love to see Ozil at United, precisely the type of player we need.

I only take point hits when the result of such a hit is almost guaranteed to benefit me.

For example, if there was a future DGW player that I really wanted, a 4 point hit is a small price to pay for a player that will get double game time.

I would never consider an 8 point hit. That is when the wildcard comes out.

only when you are going to not have enough players to have a full team and even then I would want to be at least 2 players short to justify it. Most people save the wild card for a huge change of motion like a dgw or until injuries are high

I'd need 5 transfers to wc I think. I'd never take more than -8 points though, I just wouldn't make the transfers.

I think I've taken an 8 point hit twice ever including this week.

Hits are for investment in DGW's. or a few players terribly out of form for players with excellent fixtures.

Save your WC man (unless you are decimated with injuries)....dont listen to those who are playing it now!

Sexy frontline sir.

Not sure if the Ivan to Zaba hit is worth it THIS WEEK. I think Ivan can still do well against United.

Don't double up with Liverpool defence against Benteke. I've already took a hit to swap my Chelsea defender out for Zabaleta

reply fail below

I think Ivan will still be nailed on

Interesting logic, albeit a tad flawed.

I got 88 with only Hazard and Benteke as my "DGW cover".

Decent score with no transfer headaches. Just how I like it.

yea but even with 3 dgw players ppl here have a score of 85-90,and only takes a -4 to offload 1 extra player

99 with only Hazard and Benteke(c) - which thankfully was my last decision before the deadline.

he played ok, but he's still not fully healthy since that knock he got. Its only gw1 I would give it a couple weeks

Thanks guys

I reckon it won't be long before Lukaku is Mou's main man if Roonpig does not arrive

Maybe start, but might flop and lose more value heading into blank and then International break. I would like to drop Giroud for Tekkers/Dzeko but I don't have the testicular fortitude to deal with rotation and price rises/drops so early in the season.

Torres will start at United, think about how Jose will approach the game. Keep it tight, look to counter, its set up perfectly for Torres. The fact that he didn't play minute last night only increases his chances to play at Man U imo

Why would'nt you reckon Lambert is under the same pressure with Osvaldo now in the squad?

Lambo is nailed on, on pens and free kicks...Dzeko will always be a rotation risk

I've come to realize that this transfer really doesn't matter, nor is it productive.

The -4 hit will likely come back to you in the form of a City CS versus a Chelsea non-CS.

However, you're better off just sticking with Ivan to ensure those 4 points, rather than gamble with them.

Ivan has just as much, if not more attacking threat than Zab, so that is no advantage to transfer Zab in, either.

Only 74, not terrible. Ivan came to the rescue. And then there was the Belgian 🙂

96. Satisfied!
Did Lukaku to Lambert myself.

Came out sprinting in a marathon.

Do it for a junkie hit

It would be nice but I won't hold my breath.

Agree with most of this. I don't think they will but its fun to dream.

Arsene, pull it out for f$%ks sakes.

Wenger signing so many "prominent names"? Would be doomsday by then amiga.

Fellaini or Rooney would be kickass, I can't see any of the Madrid lads wanting to come to arsenal. Williams and Cesar would be simple but useful additions too.

I love how people diss "The Donkey" just because it's fashionable. He's been scoring goals since preseason and his confidence is sky high.

Giroud is arguably a bigger threat than Benz in the box - his aerial presence allows Theo, Santi, and Gibbs to whip in crosses all game long. Benzema gets marked out of games too often and also tends to drift wide left. Class player though and I would love to see him at Arsenal.

Theo is the only natural winger in the squad and Chambo is out for 3 months. di Maria would be a massive acquisition. Poldi's workrate down the left is remarkable but he isn't suited to be a wide player.

Can't see Fellaini moving to the Emirates; I think he's headed to OT. I think we may have a shot at Kondogbia or Pogba.
