I was on 44, but just replaced a 0, 1, and 2 to leave me on 41; with Given, Keane, and Iniesta playing tomorrow. Then Lescott to come in for my worst remainng player on the final day. 2nd in the boards league after today's game. Happy enough.

Would have thought you would take a breather carlcon after the effort you put into the FPL.

Sticking my laptop on my lap while the football is on doesn't count as "effort" in my books, so no harm done.

RB100 · 10-06-2012 1:54am

Had captaincy on Sneider but because evry other Dutch attacker was dyer I'm left with these options.

Dunne
Iniesta
Ribery
Benzema
Ibra

Who would you think is the best player to have the armband?

Kylo Ren · 10-06-2012 2:03am

Mr. Meowingtins - 34 points

Would it not make sense to change captaincy to Shirokov? Or is that against the rules?

You can't captain someone who has already played.

anyone else unable to get into the screen where you change round captaincy and subs?

EDIT

Nevermind, its just my phone acting the ape!

Munster Magic · 10-06-2012 11:59am

Anyone know if I dont use my free transfer this week does that mean I have 2 free transfers for the next gameweek or do I lose that transfer?

I'd imagine the transfer is lost, only one for each of matchdays 2 and 3 in the group phase.

The rules say nothing about transfers carrying over so I'd say that it doesnt happen

RB100 · 10-06-2012 3:32pm

Just thought, would it be worth a try putting Dunne as capt simply for the recovered balls rule? or stick with Iniesta

swoody · 10-06-2012 3:51pm

cant get on the UEFA Fantasy web page

swoody · 10-06-2012 3:57pm

if it fails (which will probably happen) i have Benzema as last resort! :cool:

manual_man · 10-06-2012 4:46pm

Gone with Dunne. This could be (another) fail, or the inspired move of the tournament

Kylo Ren · 10-06-2012 4:48pm

I can't even log in?

Sticking with Lewandowski anyway.

It takes a brave soul to have 2 defensive players from Denmark, who have to compete with the German, Dutch, and Portuguese strike-forces.

You were saying??

KevIRL · 10-06-2012 11:16pm

So when to use the WC? Before the start of Gw2? Or between GW2 and 3? Perhaps save for the semi final?

before gw2 advantages - Spain, France, Czechs, Italy and Portugal have 'on paper' easier fixtures - although after the first round of games, Czechs, Italy and Portugal perhaps arent easier
Between gw 2 and gw 3 advantages - have a better idea of whos qualified/out/have something to play for and be able to pick a team accordingly
Semi Final round advantage - get to pick a full team from only the 4 teams remaining, most likely also have a full team, or nearly full for the final gw

I stand by what I said. It did indeed take a brave soul to have 2 Danish defenders in that group. Bravery, however, paid off this round. Fair play.

Unfortunately for me i followed your advice and transfered them out

manual_man · 11-06-2012 6:56pm

Right Ibrahimovic hattrick Yarmolenkox2 please

Dempsey · 11-06-2012 7:02pm

Should have kept the captaincy on Lewandowski in hindsight

It all rests on Martin Olsson now!

grohlisagod · 11-06-2012 7:12pm

Very nice start. 64 points even with Szczesny.

BKC · 12-06-2012 12:22am

I only have 38 points, but I'm not very good at these type of things.

4th in the league with my friends. I would be top if my genius keeper didn't get sent off.

Dempsey · 12-06-2012 12:51am

My Group C & D choices were all 2 point duds, Group B wasnt great either and my captain choices didnt work. Still though 50 points isnt bad at all

Thinking of using my wildcard now, anyone see must have players?

Arshavin & Dzagoev are probably the best Russian players to have.

BKC · 12-06-2012 12:53am

Surely Pav has earned himself a starting place for tomorrow?

8-10 · 12-06-2012 9:35am

WC played. Pretty happy with my 1st week. 46pts is really good I think considering my captain got 1pt! So that's 45 without the captain bonus (I'd imagine few would have gotten over 50 without captain bonus but it shows the advantage of a good pick) and my keeper scored -2pt!

Shevchenko came good right at the end of the gw! Legend. Transferred him out now though. Ignored Germany and Netherlands players. Hope Russia go all out again tonight.

Newaglish · 12-06-2012 1:35pm

Think I will need to drop Dunne for the rest of the tournament - any ideas on who to replace him with? He's valued at 5.0 and my current back row looks like:

Strinic (4.0)
Evra (6.0)
Dunne (5.0)
Zhirkov (6.0)
K. Papadopolous (4.5)

I can't see him raking in the points against Spain and Italy.

darego · 12-06-2012 4:05pm

anyone see any problems with this team? or people injured/not starting or even some obvious changes i should make

carlcon · 12-06-2012 4:18pm

K. Papadoupoulos didn't start last game. He came on for his injured namesake. Not sure if he's still injured or not, but just throwing that out there - worth looking up.

Then Fabregas' starting position is up in the air. If Spain start without a striker again, you're flying... but if they start one this time, Fab is the one who'll be replaced, almost certainly.

Otherwise, a good balance of bargains and top players. Only big decision to make today is which Russian to captain.

darego · 12-06-2012 4:24pm

cheers

there's no decent replacements for fabregas that i can think off at the min. Papastathopoulos is suspended for greece so he should start fingerscrossed

darego · 12-06-2012 4:30pm

i just seen Maniatis started in midfield for greece and he is down as a 4.. defender. much better than Papa but will he start midfield again?

Shane732 · 12-06-2012 5:07pm

Jesus that some start for Cech and the boys.

swoody · 12-06-2012 5:08pm

my captain has a goal already....:cool:

8-10 · 12-06-2012 5:12pm

2 goals in 2 games for Pilar!! My best bargain at 5.0m

manual_man · 12-06-2012 8:35pm

Gutted i didn't go with Dzagoev now. Had the option to swap Terry and Shirokov for Lescott and Dzagoev and didn't do it

IRA 1916 · 14-06-2012 12:35pm

I just joined the league, will my points that I have already be included or will I start from zero?

whats the name of your team IRA 1916. just want to prove my point, that once you are in a league, all your points are included from when the league started scoring, not from when you entered the league

Two of my friends joined our private league and only their points from this gameweek have counted.

thunderdog · 15-06-2012 1:13pm

Yeah same as BKC a friend of mine joined league this week and is starting from zero. But actually thinking about it I'm not 100% sure he had entered a team before the deadline last week so you might be right beglee

Actually, yeah that's a possibility alright. Never thought of that.
