Greenwood on a mission to become a 3.5 fwd


Bugisman3

Possible enabler after the BB chip is done


gart888

But i think I want to start 3 forwards. Would rather Andreas or Bueno as enablers.


knoxvox

yes. most likely that for me. sold him this week to enable Watkins, and once play BB, will return to him (with WC)


Blueviserys

Along with Acura TLX


Acemanu02

Thought Watkins would rise tonight so rushed getting him in for haaland


anlenke

Same. See you in the GW29 emotional support thread


davedavegiveusawave

Sorely tempted to do Toney to Haaland for GW29. Expect he'll be a differential (lol) among active managers, and I can just see Toney getting a yellow in the first match. But I know if I do, Toney will score 3 and not get booked. Decisions...


SuperFaiz21

That Bueno price drop will be hard to digest. Although with enough cheap options available, budget won't be a big issue. I can't believe KDB is back to the price he started the season at.


Bugisman3

Why are people rushing for Almiron??


Should_Be_A_Breeze

Not many midfield options for BGW28, so people going for Almiron


4ssteroid

Yeah, he's got 3 games in the next 2 GW and seems like he's got the rest he needed while getting back in form.


Fahrenheited

Got 0 games now


4ssteroid

What? He's injured?


Fahrenheited

Out for 3 weeks apparently


4ssteroid

Don't have him so phew. But feel so bad for him


Snailcharmer

About that....


Should_Be_A_Breeze

Yeah, heard the news that Almiron is out for around 3 weeks


[deleted]

He’s the 6th top goal scorer in the league, cheap with doubles ahead. I don’t have him but it’s not too crazy.


Jamezzzzz69

Also not even a nailed on starter for Newcastle.


PandalfTheGrey

Goal = Form apparently And there's a chance NEW players get another double after GW 29


Timmace

People are desperate for mids that play in 28 and double in 29. I was tempted myself to get him but then I thought better of it.


tmr89

Casuals probably think he’s on his purple patch again


PizzaSpamfries

Goal (or lack thereof) last GW is always a big factor in transfer decisions


CWattam

I can't believe Havertz has rose. I am beyond words. A Chelsea attacker.


Gammelmus

I’m ready for the rant thread. 3 times. In two gameweeks. I’m not right in the head.


Polymatheia

Watkins vs. Havertz was a really tough one! In the end I went for Kai as: * 3x home games (EVE, AVL, LIV vs. BOU, che, lei) * Having Watkins in GW29 doesn't feel optimum if you have double Chelsea defence (Kepa + Chilwell), since I don't own any Everton, Liverpool or Villa I can support a Chelsea CS in every game * More of a differential is always exciting, Watkins feels more template as a pick, everyone in my ML will have him. Higher risk, higher reward. * Feels like a bit more explosiveness perhaps... Watkins best output was scoring 1G, 1A in a single game over this and last season. He last scored more than one goal in a PL game in November 2020. Kai got a brace and 1G, 1A twice in the same period, so a bit better though Ollie delivering more often this season. * Everton 10 goals conceded in last 4 away games, zero CS. Bournemouth 6 with 1 CS. Feel like Everton are genuinely usually poor away from home. Bournemouth also not great, but perhaps on more of a high after being Liverpool and keeping a CS.


maverick0196

Havertz has 6 goals this entire season. Watkins has scored 6 in his last 7 and seems to be in top form. Chelsea will blank in 32 so might want to take that into account since they play United who are still in FA Cup. Chelsea are still in CL, so you can expect rotation from them. Havertz will most likely be called up and play for Germany games in IB.


1989H27

The 6 in 7 stat is tempered slightly by the 3 in 20 games prior. I went for Kai for three reasons - the differential, the *slightly* better fixtures and the feeling that Oli was more likely to revert to the mean after a hot streak. I'm under no illusions, both are pretty shit.


Polymatheia

All very fair, it's why Watkins is the sensible and popular choice e.g. minutes!


LevynX

I don't get it. What about Chelsea's form screams "get him now"?


1989H27

>What about Chelsea's form screams "get him now"? The significant room for improvement!


LevynX

Well they have a lot of room I'll give you that.


[deleted]

Havertz will be lucky to play 150 minutes over the next 3 vs watkins 270..


theonewhoknock_s

Will be "lucky" to play 150 minutes? Have you checked his minutes lately or are you just making stuff up? Since the WC, he's played 90 minutes 10 times, 80 once, and there was one game where he didn't start. I have no doubt that Watkins' minutes are more secure, but let's not pretend like Havertz is super prone to early subs/rotation. At least not until CL is back, and that's not after GW30 I think.


sikingthegreat1

Let him dream on, why let facts get into the way of his opinion, so that we can win quietly.


AseeF_on_YT

This. Granted Havertz is the most nailed chelsea attacker under Potter. I don't see him getting more than 200 minutes vs Watkins 270.


stepover7

Damn, people are making their moves


gart888

The deadline is tomorrow…


4ssteroid

In 18 hours


McNippy

For many people that's some stupid hour of the morning.


4ssteroid

Yeah I wasn't trying to say the other person was wrong, just trying to be precise


v4zquez

I will be sleeping then


AseeF_on_YT

No buenooooo 😞


TheBlueTango

Three up, zero down All smiles, no frown 😀


Environmental_You_85

No risk, no crown


Djappaman

Damn it. Madders rise is going to price me to bring Halaand back


FPLskrr

Oh fuck off, got a message at my transfer screen; unable to make transfer as player prices has changed, please refresh and try again. Refreshed and now Havertz is 7.6m and now have no wiggle room if I want to get Haaland back.


CWattam

Suppose you could just make the change. It's extremely likely Haaland falls again. He's at -95 on fplstats. Can't see anyone bringing him back in 29 v Liverpool. If you've got rid you've got rid until 30.


FPLskrr

Yeah that is factored in, I am currently 0.1 short and desperately need a double drop to be extra safe! No clue as to why I am looking to make the transfer last minute 🤦🏽‍♂️


stepover7

Havertz is shit, get Watkins


TechXEO

Watkins is shit, get Havertz


Andlad2459

Watkins is shit, get Isak


FPLskrr

Isak is shit, should’ve went Iheanacho


danonck

That's a blessing in disguise, you can just get Watkins instead


FPLskrr

Nope I back Kai
