I suspect they'll tighten up at the back when Matip returns and he isn't far away by all accounts I've certainly considered it but I need to dump Bailey next week first 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love unjustified hype me. Yeah I think I'm rolling one of my transfers tbh. Other one was just straight Bailey out and DaSilva in to save money. 3 hours ago, tomav84 said: and why is everyone (not just you) trying to get rid of robertson? he's trending towards a price drop despite being home to bournemouth next week and favourable fixtures after that As simple as £7m tied up with 0 returns is annoying I think. He's looked good though. Him or Saka have flabby cash on them they aren't justifying currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted August 19, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2022 I've got VVD installed of Robbo and I'm not happy having £14m returning nothing so I'd be tempted. I think it's a bit too soon to react though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2022 Robertson is a player you need to be patient with. He’ll score 200 odd points in the season but he’s unspectacular. Kind of one of those players you have to invest in and just leave there. I can see the temptation to get him out though, especially if you’ve got Trent too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the temptation to get him out though, especially if you’ve got Trent too i really want robertson and i'm genuinely considering him for next week. i think mahrez and perisic will end up scoring points this season but right now i can't be arsed with the weekly headache around whether they're going to start or not. i currently have the below provisional replacements: A. robertson and gross leaving 0.7m in the bank B. walker and luis dias, leaving 0.2m in the bank. leaning towards A given the minutes are more guaranteed and i like the idea of 0.7 in the bank to upgrade the bench for when the CL starts. brighton have some nice fixtures coming up too. option B might be better points wise though as i think it has a higher ceiling with liverpools upcoming games. i have a concern around walker though as pep has said their new LB is straight in the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 19, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 19, 2022 So I think I'm going with Ward playing instead of Sanchez 5 at the back, meaning Mee coming in (my transfer this week) and Williams off the bench (I don't see Forest getting thumped this week) Salah, Saka and Martinelli in midfield with Haaland and Jesus up front Gives me a real headache for captain Jesus / Haaland / Salah. Currently thinking Salah because he really does seem to love getting points against United and this United are even worse than last years United Could all change again by the deadline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salah all day for me and doubt that'll ever change Jesus is well tempting though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Gave Digne one more shot (transferring out next week instead) instead of taking the punt on Perisic this week. If you're a betting man, you already know what to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Rolled my transfer for this week because I didn't want to remove Robbo or Sterling for the fixtures they have but I could really do with something decent from the pair of them. Only 3 gameweeks in so it's pretty irrelevant at this point but a rank of 5.6m isn't nice to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 As things stand I'm top of our league It will not last, but considering I was in the bottom third last season, I'll take it. Hoping for a shitshow from Salah tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted August 21, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 21, 2022 If there was a decision to be made, I made it badly this week.
