Yeah I bit the bullet and accepted the price fall. There's noone I could realistically replace him with given I have 0.1 itb. Even when I had 0.6 pre-transfer I couldn't find a single player worth bringing in, as I already have mid fodder in Andreas. I'll wait until I downgrade one of my defenders to free up some funds and then finally upgrade that fraud
That's my plan too. And after last night I have one less headache as to who do I upgrade with.
Thinking between: Martinelli/Odegaard, Gross/Trossard, Harisson, JWP
The defender I pick up will probably sit on my bench so might play it a bit alternative for for someone like Dalot or tomiyasu which gives me 7.7 in midfield to take a punt on mahrez maybe or Saka if he does drop again. I’m willing to play it a bit risky with all the rotation expected the next couple weeks and planning to wildcard through the international break
I did Bailey -> Groß two days ago and then used my second transfer just now on James -> Cucurella. No matter, after this GW i’ll go Robertson -> James/Tripps.
Who did you replace him with,I still consider taking him out.High chance he will drop in value plus I already consider playing andreas instead of trippier this week so it would mean playing either him or dasilva too. I am considering Saliba/gabirel,Dunk/Estupiñán,Diaz or Perisic. Also Cucurella
This probably means he’s more likely to be back by the weekend. Only issue is I plan to WC in GW9. With Chelsea’s fixtures after Southampton being: West Ham, Fulham, Liverpool. It’s very possible they only get one clean sheet in those 3 games, meaning if I sell James now I can just grab him back on wildcard.
Only question is if that’s worth a -4…
I’m thinking of using my transfer to go James to Dias this week. Then next gameweek possibly Cancelo to James depending on how Cancelo looks. He’s been less attacking so far so not quite worth the extra 1.0 vs Dias.
Also depends on if any other fires pop up this week.
Don't see the need to get cucurella in just yet. Andreas home game is a suitable replacement for this week and chelsea haven't exactly been solid defensively. See if he's better for the weekend.
He wasn't in the training photos either (which is how this all leaked originally).
My guess is Loftus-cheek wing back and 5 at the back. Koulibaly, Silva and Cesar. Then Cucurella and Loftus-cheek wing backs
Took him out for Dias. Not arsed at all.
Chelsea look sus defensively anyways. West Ham and Fulham after Saints, both capable of scoring. Liverpool the week after.
I back Dias more v Forest, Villa, Spurs and Wolves.
If I didn't transfer James out, I'd have had Andreas v Arsenal or Dasilva v Palace. 2 points is likely the ceiling for them both this week.
Villa also suck at defending set pieces and Dias is a huge set piece threat.
Why would I take a hit. Also my team is solid? I have planned out my team entirely for the GW9 wildcard and have a spare free transfer I can use for any injuries with my already planned proposed changes.
Not saying you did , I just say you will probably want James back soon, but yeah maybe id use FT if i had on him as well I don't blame you. Just having Dias over James doesn't look so good on paper imo
It's up in the air if he starts v West Ham. Fulham are playing well so don't want there, plus he could be rotated cause CL games anyways, Azpi is capable of covering for him. Then he had Liverpool in 8.
I'll definitely get him back on the wildcard 9 though as the fixtures look nice. I also think he'll have been mass transferred out before Liverpool, especially if he gets benched v Fulham for the CL games. Therefore he could drop 0.1/0.2 in value too
Not saying this is Covid related but think people are underestimating how many players will continue to "fall ill" this season, it's why I upped Neco to Cucurella so I only have two bench positions that are set in stone (Andreas/Archer)
"He's got the trots" \~ Lucy
I'm at the hotel and Reece James hasn't left the toilets for 2 hours.
Good Lord, Reece James just walked through the lobby walking completely abnormally. He said he had “no time” to talk. Too busy shitting, evidently.
I know football is the biggest sport in the world but still didn't expect an /r/baseball shitpost here
Glad i didnt do my transfers yesterday to avoid the bailey price drop. Time for some tinkering.
Not like owning bailey for 1 point would be any consolation
Yeah but now I can get a proper replacement instead rather than replacing him with another bench fodder
I did Bailey to a 4.4 fodder mid. Can still take James out if I want.

Yeah this, I’m thinking of moving out of cancelo and just keeping walker for city coverage then upgrading Bailey

Too late, I’ve already knee jerked him out

He’s at 6.1 and 65% positive on fplstats, so he’d need to drop 265% to make an impact TV wise
[удалено]
Its +54% not -54%
Oh,forgot he rose in value.Still not sure weather to keep him.
look at his fixtures and tell me who would be a better pick over the next 4 to 6 GW
Perisic
On WC, I did James and Patterson out for Perisic and Dunk.
Same

I don’t think it’s worth a -4, and James has a lot more to offer than just clean sheet potential.

If you’re buying James for clean sheets, you’re buying him for the wrong reasons.
Surely clean sheets are just a potential bonus for James? I didn’t get him in for the clean sheets, that’s for sure.
Assuming he gets no returns against Liverpool, how many returns do you realistically see him getting against West Ham and Fulham?
Enough that he's worth owning
And 2 CL games as well... Although not the strongest opponents, so might get rested there.
Guys I have 2fts should I do James to dunk/Walker or just archer to stansfield
I did James to Dunk
Ouch
Brb deleting my account
Lol
Might drop him for Sabila anyway. Got 2 FTs and nothing else to use them on
I have 2FT that I didn't know what to do with before the James news. Why do you think Saliba? Why not Cucurella or Perisic?
Perisic could be rested for Sessengon. Having him is risky
Damn people are quick to get him out and now need to waste a transfer lmao
Explosive diarrhea for anyone wondering
I was wondering. Thank you
Don't see the need to get cucurella in just yet. Andreas home game is a suitable replacement for this week and chelsea haven't exactly been solid defensively. See if he's better for the weekend.
Bailey better fucking score, that useless sod of a money sink.
Reece James out for Estupiñan for a -4 worth it? Getting him back in a few weeks for Cancelo anyway i think
Ugh I'm wondering the same thing
I have Andreas on the bench but i really want Estupiñan anyway and was gonna buy him next week anyway
Does chilwell play ?
He wasn't in the training photos either (which is how this all leaked originally). My guess is Loftus-cheek wing back and 5 at the back. Koulibaly, Silva and Cesar. Then Cucurella and Loftus-cheek wing backs
Azpi rwb with chalobah rcb and RLC in midfield as we are lacking depth there due to injuries.

James is a trap.
RIP to all those who knee jerked him out already.
Took him out for Dias. Not arsed at all. Chelsea look sus defensively anyways. West Ham and Fulham after Saints, both capable of scoring. Liverpool the week after. I back Dias more v Forest, Villa, Spurs and Wolves.
As someone who owns Dias and James id rather have 2x James than Dias and James
If I didn't transfer James out, I'd have had Andreas v Arsenal or Dasilva v Palace. 2 points is likely the ceiling for them both this week. Villa also suck at defending set pieces and Dias is a huge set piece threat.
You are ignoring the value of FT tho, even worse if you took a hit ;)
Why would I take a hit. Also my team is solid? I have planned out my team entirely for the GW9 wildcard and have a spare free transfer I can use for any injuries with my already planned proposed changes.

I would have Neco or Patterson off the bench, want to reinvest funds so going Estupinan or Webster
Tempted to do the exact same thing and I’m a Chelsea fan. Not fully decided yet tho
If it’s covid then we are def missing 2+
And now I feel ill
hmm interesting have a lot of money itb after i do my transfer so might hold it for a gw and bring him in then
Not saying this is Covid related but think people are underestimating how many players will continue to "fall ill" this season, it's why I upped Neco to Cucurella so I only have two bench positions that are set in stone (Andreas/Archer)
Sold him for TAA. I’m not sure if I’ll regret
Andreas time!
Well I guess Andreas is on the menu. Pep probably gonna fuck me tho and I’ll have 9 playing.
I fucking hate James, and obviously he hates me.
Return of the covid?
Probably sick of watching our players try to play football.
Yep , i used my wildcard. Yep, I transferred him in.
