Stevo985 Posted April 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 8, 2022 I almost sold Kane this week. I need to sell him soon to get my planned transfers for GW36 and I need the money from him to do the other moves. Plus I’m free hitting next week so would lose a transfer if I rolled it. But decided last minute it was worth losing a transfer to keep Kane this week. And I’ve captained him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free hit next GW, then WC is the current plan. Can potentially WC and then save a free hit for 37, will evaluate in the week which might be the better option. Don't really love Raph move but couldn't find many options for this GW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've 2 FTs but I also own Kulu and Doherty, so it would be at the expense of Kulu. I don't think I can justify the ~5m difference and he would eat into my future budget for upgrading a non-playing striker for BB36. And yet, he might do so much damage in the next few weeks to justify it. This game eh? Yeah ... I probably should have done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2022 62 points with 3 to play. Should be a green arrow. Son was a rank killer though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doherty going off injured before the CS is a frustration. This who had Son, Kane and Kulu would be laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted April 11, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 11, 2022 So with the news that it looks like Doherty might miss the rest of the season, and with Son tearing it up, I guess my choice now is do I stop trying to be clever with my transfers over the coming weeks, trying to bring in the Chelseas (Mount or Havertz), Citys (Foden, Mahrez) and Uniteds (Sancho) who have good fixtures or doubles, and just bring in Son and be done with it. That means restricting myself to a very cheap defender and either abandoning the plan to upgrade my striker, or restricting to a just-about-playing donkey, in the hope that Son keeps getting double figures and makes up for the thinner squad.

Look at that fixture list for Spurs. There are a couple of difficult fixtures which happen to be in a double week, which might make up for itself, but other than that, I'd expect Son to be piling up the points.

I don't think fixture difficulty particularly affects Son, by which I mean the likes of Havertz may or may not outscore him in the doubles, but I certainly have Son as capable of scoring against literally anyone. He's an insanely effective finisher. We beat Spurs comfortably in Xg the other day. Something like 1.68 to 0.82 and yet they won 4-0. I think I'm erring towards doing it, even though it'll mean much less fun in the transfer market for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted April 11, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 11, 2022 I'm now even contemplating selling Salah and covering him with Jota to get KDB in, which gives me City attacking cover and the 1.2m helps. Means I could get Son & Mount in midfield and downgrade Doherty to a playing but muck defender for 36. Hmmm. But no Salah. Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
