Above average and still going down?

I reckon though that a lot of teams at this stage are no longer bothering any more. So the global average becomes more and more meaningless. If you took the average of the top 1m players it would be a lot higher I'd guess.

Also, you have two types of people this week, those who captained Suarez and got 34 points who will be well above average if they have a decent return from the rest of their team, and those of us who didn't. I got 62 points and climbed overall 75k to 260k overall but stayed the same place in my pay league passing out some people while the Suarez captainers sail past me.

If I'd captained Suarez would have been up another 100k overall.

Taking off after 59 mins was struggling to get into the game osman came on got a goal and assist. I wouldnt be surprised if barkley got a rest next week as martinez has hinted he will be giving him at some stage.

Already on his way to a drop, and no money made on him.

Exactly - the league we have with the guys I work with is not a strong one. We are not the top, or even good players, but still managed to get an average of 49 points. All of us make changes once a week and keep an eye on the opponents and the players performance. Active players we are.
The overall average is affected by the accounts of the people who have lost interest in the game. Some of them, however, may have players like Suarez, RVP and they did captained them a month ago when they were still interested in the game. Tomorrow few more teams play, and there are lot of players (especially in Chelsea/City/Tottenham/Newcastle teams) that can raise the average easily.
Remy is the one that worries me, and I do consider getting him in for Giroud, and "downgrading" Ben Arfa to Ramsey. Looks like the right thing to do since the Welsh keeps scoring points.

How are you set? Think I'm against you in cl match. On 50 with michu, dawson, morrison and terry to go.. Or is it imuse?

I'm against you alright,55 -4 to come off.
I have Oscar, Townsend, Chico to play. It is 50/50 i'd say,i could do with Brady coming in for a 1pt for you as Vidic didn't play

edit,just realised Coleman does come in for you given the 3 defender rule

Swiper the fox · 27-10-2013 12:17PM

Sturridge should really have given him a shout for the third goal:o

carraig2 · 27-10-2013 12:22PM

Like him or loathe him the man is a class act!

BNMC · 27-10-2013 12:24PM

70 with Zab, Ivanovic and Yaya to play. Delighted.

Question is,how long before he does something reckless this season?

This is not the Liverpool thread...

78 (-12) with Dawson and Townsend to play, it was a massive risk taking the hit but it looks like it was worth it

Liamalone · 27-10-2013 12:41PM

No gifs of Mr Loyalty and his diving antics?

12 is a serious hit alright, i'm sure you posted it already somewhere but what were the transfers? 66(likely at least 8 more to come) is a decent score no doubt.

Rooney out Suarez in,
zaba out lovren in
Barfa out ramsey in
Barkley out Townsend in.
Will see if taking barfa and zaba out was a good call later.

Good moves on reading, Barkley is to get a rest pretty soon and Barfa is a bout as useful as glass hammer at the best of times. I would have left Zab though

Barfa could certainly bite you but fair play for having the balls to go with it, Suarez was your captain?

Yeah zaba was a tough call, but to be honest he hasn't gained me a lot of points either and city aren't that defensively sound.

Yeah Suarez captain, couldn't see him not scoring. He's on fire at the moment.

Maybe not long and then I will give out.
But yesterday I loved him like he was my own son:D

Sunderland: Westwood, Bardsley, Dossena, O'Shea, Cuellar, Cattermole, Colback, Larsson, Johnson, Altidore, Fletcher

Newcastle: Krul, Debuchy, Williamson, Dummett, Santon, Sissoko, Tiote , Cabaye, Gouffran, Ben Arfa, Remy

Swiper the fox · 27-10-2013 01:43PM

Ben Arfa still owned by 14%, Remy 9.5%, nobody at Sunderland to worry about pushing up the average. Fletcher only on .1% of teams.

Swapped Lukaku out for Remy. He needs to get a goal to even out the transfer.
Hopefully he will get more than that
