[Emy Ionescu 145]

Hello guys,

Should i give Merih Demiral + Alexis Mac Allister for Mohammed Ihattaren?

Thanks in advance!

I agree with Kieran. Altho it is close between the 2. I also like Lukaku in the game particularly if u have 1 man upfront and can use him more positively as a CF and Target Man. He will pay off better in these instances

Agree again with Kieran ( I would have to be much better on the draw than I am to beat Kieran to the shot! 😀) All the points he mentions are also mine ... sigh! 🤐

All I can say is Ze Gabriel would not have occurred to me and neither was the Gem Hugo Souza he found. Credit where credit is due, Kieran. 😀

Thank you for the kind words Socca 🙂

Personally I would keep Ihattaren

[topofthebilly 301]

Fulham not doing too good at the moment . So is it worth holding on to Antonee Robinson ? End of august he got a +1 to 83 .
I don't see him getting another transfer soon , and ratingwise not much will change for him ?

[zerocool1 38]

Okay so now I have 2 options

Sule + Moutinho + Kovacic

Or

Lenglet + Moutinho + Grimaldo/Taglafico

 

Which seems better?

Well he played in Fulham's last game and being in Premiership u don't have to wait as long for a review that u would when he was playing in the Championship.

He played a full 90 mins in Fulham's last game. If he played regularly he would go +2 to 85?? So who else would u get instead is the question or is "cash king" in your G/w Toppo???

Tricky.

Sule, Moutinho and Kovacic if you are basing this off your last question about who has the most chance of rising.

I would of chose Tagliafico instead of Kovacic if he sealed a move away from Ajax.

Played in the league cup as well as one Premier League game, looks a good player no surprise that Milan were interested 6 months ago.

Keep, could rise regardless of Fulham’s position/form.

[topofthebilly 301]

Trying to raise cash and occasionally sell some of the less talented players , so I can keep my financial balance positive and also get some ammunition ready in case a good player becomes available

So I guess cash is king for now . Although most higher rated players are taken in the GW .

But maybe I better keep him around for now (at least until next PL review) and look to sell other players . I heard valid points to not sell him yet . Thanks !

Or Sule?

Lenglet has better chance of a rise. Having said that his +1 will only equal to Alaba's current rating, who has a decent chance of a rise as well. 

Sule isn't getting picked for BM and Germany. He simply hasn't developed into a player BM thought he would which is affecting Germany as well as they are tosh in defending. 

Out of the three I would easily go for Alaba even if he doesn't rise.

Second one with Lenglet+Moutinho+Tagliafico

Moutinho and Kovacic will not rise anymore and I personally do not see Sule rising any time soon unless he does a Jerome Boateng. 

Tagliafico has a very decent buyout clause and hence can see him moving to a more popular club soon.

Probably Sule because he’s lower rated.

Alaba has deserved 94 long before now and thought he may have risen when Bayern won the UCL.

Lenglet depends on how Barcelona get on this season as well as him performing.

Ze Gabriel (Internacional) too, your two options are at a much better value though 😂

Lukaku

Under the radar like Hugo Souza  (My first and last name is Hugo Sousa by the way hehehe)

What do you expect of Hwang at Leipzig ?

I think he will be a success, he fits Nagelsmann’s style of play I suppose the easy answer to your previous question is Hwang considering he’s already made the move to a top team.

BUT I’m a sucker for a traditional striker who scores 20+ goals a season.

So yeah Daka for me, if you have Saka and Doku as well you could have the best sounding front 3 ever in Daka, Saka, Doku 😄

Gametime will be enough to see him rise - should get up to 85 min

The second trio. Lenglet is more reliable as a CB than Sule in terms of injuries. And quality LBs are rare. This gives you strength in three diff positions.

Tell me Pickford isn't an "April Fools in October" and I won't believe U. He's a good keeper but Banks, Bonetti et al probably plenty others too.... 

Mount as well as much as I like him...

Want to get your views on SM etiquette. If a player becomes available at an un-managed club, and someone bids for him. Do you think its fair game to bid also? Or bad etiquette as someone else got the first bid in?

Didn't know that he would field weak CBs.

I got Adrian as an free agent. Definitely gonna replace him with another GK after his transfer ban is over. The league is very competitive and players are expensive. So getting a good GK for reasonable price would be really tough.

Btw, I rarely play fast tempo and whenever I play it I don't get enough possession, so I prefer the slow tempo. Any other advantage for playing fast tempo over slow tempo?

Professor 🔬⚽ Socca's answer to your question was a thought 💭 provoker for me.

🤔 First, I would definitely try to replace Adrian, that's if someone decent is available out there. 

I must change my previous response and say that you should use a (more balanced) normal tempo instead of a fast one because your team lacks any talented passers of the ball, which, in a fast tempo game would lead to sloppy passes to the opposion. 😀

Any thoughts on Mikel Merino? 

He's a late bloomer that's for sure - I'm happy for him. 🙂 

He's now finnaly reached the height of his game. https://onefootball.com/en/news/scouting-sessions-real-sociedad-midfielder-posting-insane-numbers-31391400

I remember back when he was likened to Xabi Alonso - earlier on in his career.

Eddie Nketiah (21) is very underrated in my opinion. The young gunner broke Alan Shearer and Francis Jeffers u21 goalscoring record last night by scoring his 14th goal in 12 appearances.

I agree.

However, he doesn't strike me as a recognisable/marketable striker (not much hype around him/he's a quiet individual) unlike the likes of Alan Shearer, Harry Kane, and Wayne Rooney before him.

Nketiah is a pure finisher and a very good dribbler, yet I wouldn't expect him to come up with a wonder goal from outside the box, like the strikers mentioned above, who were/are good finishers as well.

Any 88-89 rated players who could get 90 by the end of season? I’m guessing Pau Torres, Coady, Reguilon, Neuhaus, Olmo, Calvert-Lewin, anyone else??

D. Calabria (a bit optimistic, I know).  I. Bennacer, T. Castagne, J. Kounde (90-91), N. Ake, F. Torres, Hermoso and M. Roca and M. Merino.

I'm sure United fans would agree with me. 

However if you need a lone (target-man) striker for the tactics you use - then unlesh the 🐯 beast: buy Romelu Lukaku.

Patson Daka is certainly making alot of noise up at RBS: https://tbrfootball.com/arsenal-fans-react-as-club-linked-to-salzburg-ace-patson-daka/amp/

Whereas, for H.C.H (T. Werner's replacement), it's too soon in his Leipzig career to make a proper judgement about him. But, no doubt he is quite talented though. 

Jackie Chan (no offence) has E. Forsberg, D. Olmo, N. Kunku, Y. Poulsen and D. Sorloth to (probably) contend with for a place in the RB Leipzig eleven. Chan does have the talent to kick some ass, but as of now Daka is the better/best option.
