For the person that asked about the wildcard points

My team before the wildcard

Boruc
Koscielny lescott Toure
Hazard nolan silva mata
Benteke Soldado lukaka

This week they'd have scored:

3 for the chelsea players though Mata and Lukaku didnt play
[-S]5[/S] for Silva and 1 for lescott points for the city players though silva probably would have got the armband so 11
Boruc - 2
Toure - 8
Nolan - 3
Benteke - 2
Soldado - 7

Kos didnt play, Colback, Gabbidon and chester were my subs in that order.
Chester 7 and gabbidon 1 would come in for (mata and lukaku) best case scenario

I put Dawson in when I played my wildcard for Kos so maybe use Dawsons points? 6

= So 42 points

This week I scored 58 points with my wildcard team.

I didnt pick the right chelsea players and had Kos so I had to wildcard.

Random question.. if someone joins a league at this stage - can they join it from Week 1? (They did have a team set up from the start of the season.. just didn't join the league)

dahat · 27-08-2013 11:57am

They can once League admin allows entry

Would it be crazy to consider benching Van Persie next week?

Benching Van Persie is never acceptable. That includes when he has a broken leg. One of your subs will likely come in automatically, but you give RVP every chance to play.

Completely crazy.

He is fixture-proof.

FutureGuy · 27-08-2013 4:36pm

If you have Van Persie, you never ever bench him. Ever. I mean never. I actually mean never ever.

One minute, I dont think I am being clear. Let me restate things.

Never ever put him outside of your 11 starting players. Ever. Don't do it. He can score against anyone. If he can score against anyone, then he shouldn't be dropped.

See this guy?

Don't put him on the bench against any of the other 19 teams in the Premier League.

Never do this....

He won't like that. When he scores a hattrick, you won't like that.

So to summerize, don't bench Van Persie.

Why?

What he said. ^^^

Mr.Prodston · 27-08-2013 5:14pm

I'm just not 100% clear on what point FutureGuy was trying to get across? :pac:

PARlance · 27-08-2013 6:08pm

Moyes will rest RVP for the upcoming home games against Palace and WBA...

I wouldn't have to give up smoking if that was true, I reckon Moyes resting him for those two games would add at least 14 years onto my life.

Just used my wild card to make a load of changes, and a thought just occured to me. 3 of them players are due to go up in value to night, and 2 or 3 are close to a rise.

If I wanted to, could I capitalise on those value changes before the GW deadline, or would I have to wait until the next GW now to sell and make any profits?

You can profit, and that's what lots of people try and do. So you can buy someone at the start of the week that you have no intention of keeping, wait for him to rise by 0.2m and then sell him again before the deadline.

Even if you transfer in after a GW starts and transfer out before the next one starts?

How do you know if a player is going to increase in price?

Is Sturridge nearly in danger of being a must-have?

Another good goal for him tonight.

Currently on 95.7%. If he could hold off until atleast tomorrow.

qwabercd · 27-08-2013 10:45pm

Had planned on using wc after gw3. Team is in ok shape so may hold off (will re-assess after the gameweek is over). When is the second international break? After gw6 is it?

I honestly think a mod should ban you for even thinking about doing it.

Might be a bit long to hold off so. With toure's injury now I might just fire ahead next week.

Yeah I was thinking about it but with the BPS crisis with defenders it's better to react quickly rather than sit it out and patch things up. Time to get ahead I reckon.

When Luiz is back, will he play at CB? Opinions.

I don't think so. I think he'll play defensive mid. He's not a good enough defender for Mourinho.

He generally seems to make at least one bad mistake a game. As a defensive mid there's cover there to cut any danger off but as a defender it will nearly always result in a goal.

joxers25 · 28-08-2013 3:37pm

wildcard already used

FT used last night, but am hoping for another to get toure out for terry.

Will another one generate for the beginning of gw3?
When do they expire? sept 2nd?

cheers,

Joxer

You'll get to your next FT on Saturday at 11:31am(ish).
In time for gw4.

You can get rid of Toure then.

Wait, did you use your wildcard THIS week? If so, you can make as many free transfers as you want.
