It’s transfer deadline-day and one of the most exciting days of the year in the football calendar and possibly one of the most important in terms of fantasy football, as come the end of play today many PL teams will have a different outlook depending on their business on this one day. With FPL taking a mini-break due to international fixtures this is the perfect time for many to reflect on today’s happenings and decide whether any new signings are worth a punt or will impact positively on the players they already have. We kick this article off early doors and look forward to seeing it through until the deadline tonight with all of your rumours, hopes and probably lies (!) along the way. Keep us up to date on anything you hear and most importantly how you think it will affect your fantasy football team…
Transfer Deadline Day
here is my team!! Any changes suggested??
Hi JA, personally I would switch Mata for Sterling. Not sure how Mata now fits into the Utd line-up and he’s not really pulling up any trees even if he does whereas Sterling has looked brilliant and I think the slight change in formation with 2 up top actually benefits him as the opposing CB’s now have their hands full with Sturridge and Balo which probably just means even more space for Sterling to drift into. I assume you know El Ahmadi has left also now but that’s a problem for another day / transfer.
@inittowinit
Cheers mate! Actually I was thinking of replacing Ahmadi with Quinn and Mata with Di Maria/Sterling!
Di maria can pull up those trees which Mata could’t so far but that’s a risk for sure!
What say? maria or sterling?
Right now I’d say Sterling. Liverpool looked good and in form yesterday and look like they may do what they did last season in regards to being free scoring again. I didn’t see the Utd game so I can’t really comment on ADM but Utd may take a while to gel yet with all the new players and the new system etc. I’d sit and watch him for a few weeks yet.
thanks for the insight! Now I think I am ready to lose 4 points for two transfers this week 😛
JA you don’t need to do both this week do you? Or do you?
Actually I am going for sterling and will get rid of Ahmadi next time!
It seems United are signing Falcao after all. The loan deal is only for 1 season, but after the season United will sign for £55m. That’s what’s doing the rounds, maybe FP rules or?.
OMG…
FALCAO TOP 20 GOALS…
didn’t realise how good he was….
You gotta watch this…..especially his last goal..!
Once you’ve seen this it will be impossible for you not to have him in your side…

He’s a much better player than for instance Costa or Dzeko. As pure striker I only rate Ibrahimovic higher.
Raz..
High praise indeed..
R u getting him in ur side..?
Hopefully he’ll be around 10m.
Wot u think..?
Fear he will cost more than that. If he’s set at 10m it will be Rooney > Falcao even for a hit. 😉
Costa came in at 10.5, and Balotelli at 10.0 so surely Falcao is at least 10.5, if not 11.0 or 11.5. If he’s the same price as Rooney or cheaper (gift from the gods!) then after he’s had a match for a fitness test he’ll be straight in there at Rooney’s expense.
I’d be surprised if Falcao is any less that £11.0m
We are hearing Marseille and former West Brom man Morgan Amalfitano is travelling for a medical at West Ham.
Should I get sterling in place of mata or lamela?
I’ve 2 FT and 0 in the bank. Thinking of getting rid of dzeko too. Could you guys take a look at my team and suggest me some transfers for this week?
Thank you!
Kp …
Solid looking side you got there chap..
Sterlings on the rise….so hurry & make the move…whoever you use to fund it is upto you..
Dzeko & Jov are going to frustrate & rotate, so maybe do some business upfront..!
I’m falling in luv with Falcao….xxx
I’ve even left a space in my team for him ….with the Number 9 Shirt of course ..ironed & hanging on his very own diamond encrusted Pegg…
*assuming he’s 10.1m or cheaper…
Aguero / Costa / Falcao / = ff heaven
I don’t think you will have enough. This will be the one this season, ime thinking 12m.
Ant..
Don’t worry I’ll find the money….somehow..!
