    Not all about luck, just some. Just like poker.

    Skill will get you into top 10,000 but think a fair bit of luck is needed to get you into the top 100.

    Thinking of making my team look like this in the coming weeks (no point hits just wildcards)

    http://gyazo.com/8b377af582f5df05b6b2adcf305329a5

    Thinking of getting rid of Rafael for Garrido & Tevez for Fletcher.

    Opinions?

    I think I'd go for Suarez over Tevez, you would have 2.0 in the bank right?

    At the moment I have 2.8 without those transfers and I can afford an upgrade to Suarez but I wouldn't touch him as he is suspended until 15th of December. Also I can't trust Suarez.

    EDIT: If I made the Suarez wildcard it be 0.9 left in the bank.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭Alfred Borden


    RVP, Tevez and Nathan Dyer or Suarez, Hernandez and Bale?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,458 ✭✭✭chops018


    Thinking of having this as my starting team next week:

    Begovic,

    Enrique, Shawcross, Cameron,

    Michu (VC), Fellaini (C), Sterling, Walcott,

    Ba, RVP, Defoe.

    Bench: Ruddy, Rafael, Nelsen, Bale.

    Thoughts?

    was thinking of taking Bale out for 2 gameweeks for Sessengon and then bring him back in, I have 0.4 in the bank and bought Bale for 9.6, he is now 9.9 so I should be able to afford him again when he is back, or would ye just stick him on the bench for the next two weeks and keep my money in the bank?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Really tempted to start playing 352 most weeks building up to this team for gw 17 what do people make of this team. begovic (jaas) baines enrique nastasic (shorey nelsen)
    bale walcott michu fellani sterling
    rvp aguero carlton cole.
    The odd week playing carlton cole over sterling and changing to a 343.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭SpaceCowb0y


    Can somebody who is actually doing well this season tell me where i am going wrong! Really need to start getting a few decent scores soon or i can kiss my cash leagues goodbye already! The Christmas season will ultimately make or break most players so any advice is welcome!

    Im thinking of benching Suarez and using my free transfer to swap Bale for Michu ahead of the Norwich game?

    looking at your present team, it looks good. sometimes you can just get unlucky for various reasons. obviously ruddy needs to go (cash in while you can), apart from that your only main worries are very short term (injury/suspension). don't panic. you can consider a 4 pt hit to cover for this gw, or just ride out the storm, so to speak. honestly i think you've got a very good overall team though

    I would like to think i have a good team too but in the last 4 weeks i have been below the average twice (once 20 below:eek:) and have just about hit the average twice too! Clearly something is up as i still see people posting scores of 60+ each week while i have gone from second in all of my private leagues to nowhere near contention for top spot! I know there is a long way to go but if i keep up like this ill never catch up! Michu in for Bale i reckon and then maybe Suarez out for Defoe next week, those two have racked up almost the same points with Defoe working out a lot cheaper!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,748 ✭✭✭Swiper the fox


    Bear in mind that with Adebayor back Defoe will be sharing duties with him, many feel that Adebayor will be AVB's preferred long term man, Defoe hasn't had the competition for most of this season.

    Greetings!

    Opinions needed!

    Current squad for GW16:

    Begovic (jussi)

    Ben Davies Clyne Enrique (williamson/rafael)

    Michu Silva Fellaini Hazard (kacaliknic)

    Fletcher (c) VP Berbatov

    Thinking on changing nothing and keep 2 FT for next GW! (1M at the bank))
    Any suggestions on the replacements of fletcher and williamson or rafael (depending on how mad SAF is with him...)

    Thanks in advance!

    help needed lads! started off great and was in top 10k for a few weeks but after a while of slacking my team has gone to the dogs!

    d3306438c9308658964692835fb64019.png?1354588888

    Looks like a good team to me. Might just need a little tweak. There's no way I'd take a points hit to bring in a bench player. Also, you have a few players injured, and getting rid of Simpson is one of your players that is playing?

    How about switching Bale for Dempsey? That will bank you some money, and will mean you will an extra player available.

    Alternatively, if you want to keep Bale, how about getting Robson-Kanu in for Kac? He's cheaper and plays twice next week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,727 ✭✭✭darego


    wasn't looking at robson-kanu. cheers for the tip buddy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 378 ✭✭John83


    I need help AGAIN.

    Took a -4 hit last week to get Bale & Enrique in for Mata and Baines. DISASTER.

    In the past I've been quite restrained with points deductions but am I looking at another -4 this week? Rafael & Fletcher situations are worrying. Or do I just go along with the hope that Fletcher makes at least the second game.

    I really wanted to save my FT this week and use it next week to get Fellaini in for Sess and replace Kacaniklic. So should I stick with that plan?

    My plan for this week was to ship out Ashley Cole and get Gibbs in. Any reason why I shouldn't go ahead with it? Any better options?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 215 ✭✭jolim24601


    Help. I think I really need to put in Fellaini for Sessegnon and my backline is just not performing the way I need it to, probably because I was too busy switching out high-priced defenders for other high-priced defenders and forgot to pick up Shawcross/Huth. I've got 0 ft this week (put in Rooney for Suarez) but I'm looking for some long-term help here, particularly for my def + gk. I've got .2 in the bank which unfortunately is .1 short to switch Sessegnon out for Fellaini, unless Sessegnon goes up another .1 in price by next week.

    chelsea are more likely to get CS than arsenal i'd say + cole will offer more chance for assists/goals than gibbs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,644 ✭✭✭basillarkin

    Maybe Gorkss -> Clyne next GW? Not many good options at 4.0, but he's at home to Reading next week so has CS and attacking potential.

    Looking for advice guys for who to transfer out of my team?

    Begovic/ Jaskelainen
    Clyne/Rangel/Rafael/Jose Enrique/McCartney

    Bale/Silva/Sessengon/Kacaniklic/Michu

    RVP/Tevez/Berba

    Not sure if I want to bring in any DGW players as both teams fail to impress me. Not exactly happy with Sessengon but he can go next week. Would any one recommend a transfer or should I leave it?

    I have 0.6 in the bank

    Kacaniklic for gardner if you wanna little excitement during the dgw, otherwise McCartney to Cuellar?

    It's funny that you mention Gardner because I was actually considering him. I was also considering Shorey for Rafael. I'm gonna hang on to McCartney because when fit he could start for west ham.

    I'm thinking now of just using the one FT to get a Reading player lie Robson-Kanu in for Kacaniklic. That way I'll have 11 players and if Fletcher doesn't play I'll have Rafael on the bench. At least I'm "guaranteed" 4 points" with Robson-Kanu having the DGW.

    Or has anyone any other suggestions for a cheapish midfielder?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,365 ✭✭✭Crash Bang Wall


    Played the Wildcard and looking for opinions:(subs in brackets)

    Mignolet (Jaaskelainen)

    Morrison
    Enrique
    Shawcross (Whittaker & Nelson)

    Fellaini
    Michu
    Lallana
    Santi Cazorla
    Adam Johnson

    Van Persie
    Le Fondre (Suarez) .5m in Bank

    I see Lallana Le Fondre and Johnson as weak links. Lallana home to Norwich and the other 2 playing twice though, hence i bought them

    Omitted Bale (injured) and Silva (doubtful)

    Cheers in advance

    Jobi McAnuff has a few assists for Reading, not sure of his price though

    Sterling perhaps, although I reckon he will get some sort of a rest over the next few week.....Joe Allen may be another, playing further forward with Lucas back......not sure of their prices though
