    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.

    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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,364 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    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!

    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


  • Registered Users Posts: 343 ✭✭RB100


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,818 ✭✭✭swoody

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,364 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    I can't even log in? :(

    Sticking with Lewandowski anyway.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,578 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    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.

    Right Ibrahimovic hattrick Yarmolenkox2 please


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Should have kept the captaincy on Lewandowski in hindsight

    It all rests on Martin Olsson now!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,998 ✭✭✭grohlisagod


    Very nice start. 64 points even with Szczesny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,191 ✭✭✭BKC


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    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.

    Surely Pav has earned himself a starting place for tomorrow?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,366 ✭✭✭✭8-10


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,734 ✭✭✭Newaglish


    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,727 ✭✭✭darego


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

    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. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,727 ✭✭✭darego


    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


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,727 ✭✭✭darego


    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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,991 ✭✭✭Shane732


    Jesus that some start for Cech and the boys.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,818 ✭✭✭swoody


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,366 ✭✭✭✭8-10


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

    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

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    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
