Your January Wildcard regrets 2015.

Bleating Lamb

So in the words of the song....'If I could turn back time'.....
what WC regrets can you see yourself mulling over in the weeks to come?...
I am on WC this week but regret I am about .2 off affording a decent fifth midfielder...don't want to go with likes of Lucas.
I know I have lost value by holding onto likes of Sanchez in last fortnight. He better play this wkd:)

FHFC

Sanchez confirmed out.

Therefore I regret not selling him for Cazorla on wildcard last week.

Would be 15 points better of already, and banking my transfer this week.

Too early to tell. Of course having Cazorla and Bellerin in my early WC and then ditching looks like a mistake but it's only been one GW. Pelle will go down as the biggest if he keeps blanking and Kane punishes me again. I got PvA autosub from Sanchez so am fine with that decision especially given the info we had.

my main regret the week after was buying Walcott instead of Sanchez.........may not end up too bad now.
played it too early though . shud have stuck with the plan of playing it after fa cup weekend

G1032

Played it a week too early. Team not looking great now with Downing, Puncheon and Sanchez in midfield. Plan had been Downing out the week after but Costa injury scuppered that.
It is what it is though and I've just got to deal with it now.

I did it myself at the last minute.
With Sanchez out this week, I think I will keep the free transfer, see if I can do a double next week with Sanchez back in and, at the same time, keeping Cazorla .

Pelle.

Pelle

Pellè (had Kane longtime) +

not replacing Sanchez with Cazorla (only 1GW out I guessed...) +

Played it just before the deadline on Saturday. Regrets:

Replacing Kane with Pelle.

Not replacing Sanchez with Cazorla, in light of the team news ahead of this weekend.

Yeah, individual decisions aside I think I'd be much better off had I waited till this week. My defence was ropey and with Costa and Sanchez out I pulled the trigger a week earlier than planned.

My alternative as posted in the wildcard thread was below. In fairness Ziegler recommended I hold on as below.

The team I was going to tide over with would have scored 64. My wildcard team scored 60 and I'm buggered this week.

My defence is in rag order, I've no United cover v Leicester. Would prefer to keep wildcard to the very last week, but should I pull the trigger now on this?

Green, Hamer,
Terry(MCI), Trippier(sun), Hutton (ars), Duff(dropped),Dummet (inj)
Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Sterling, Downing
Aguero, Kane, Costa

The only way I could see tiding it to over till next week would be Dummet for PVA (BUR) and line up with...

Terry, Trippier, PVA
Sanchez, Haz, Downing/Silva, Sterling
Aguero, Kane, Costa

Lemlin

Pelle.
Not going with Bellerin over Bertrand.

My pre WC team was something like 53 plus whatever transfer I made plus whomever I captained (so if I did Costa to Giroud(c), 73 points). I'm still happy I played it; I had every piece of information I wanted bar deadline day when nothing happened.

Lemlin

I would say it's too early to call moves regrets to be honest. Pelle could score a hat trick this weekend (I live in hope!).

Last season I took out Cabaye and was kicking myself. He scored two and my wildcard team had a poor week. They then proceeded to propel me up to around 300 in the world.

All is not lost yet folks.

Been dreading doing that calculation all week but knew I'd have to do it eventually

In fairness that post and your advice were before Sanchez and Costa being out. Even if I had been set to go with the patched up team it would have taken some determination to go without those 2 starting Hutton and Downing in a 442!

I'll come back to it in another 3 or 4 gameweeks, but Bertrand over Bellerin, Pelle over Kane and Eriksen over Silva look to be heading that way after one week! :pac:

spock.

Debuchy the obvious one, getting injured straight away. ADM to a certain extent-10 points in 3 games since I got him.

extra gravy

ADM...and now I'm stuck with him with more pressing transfers to be made.

patmac

No regrets yet, but then I am only playing my wildcard This weekend so will check back in on Monday after Rooneys hat trick.

For me it was a toss up between Bertrand and Clyne. I regret this but there's no way I could have foreseen what happened.

I also regret choosing Di Maria over Silva at the moment but I have this feeling that ADM will come good yet. However if I didn't have the Bertrand situation to sort out, I'd have brought Silva in this week.

But as Lemlin said, it's probably too early for regrets yet.

I talked myself into putting Drogba upfront instead of Kane. Needless to say I switched that last weekend and have solid team again. I captained ADM over carzola which was a bummer but carzola kept me in cup so cant complain.

Gardos, jones, clichy
ADM, sterling, carzola, oscar

Some (like Bertrand) were unforseeable so I don't mind them. But I chose two players on fixtures over form, Pelle and Rooney (for Costa), transferring out Kane, and I bitterly regret them. However Bellerin, PVA and Cazorla were successes so I can't complain.

A niggling regret is Sanchez. If I knew he was going to miss 2-3 matches (and I now know it may be only 1, and I've taken him out already) I'd have transferred him out for Silva or Sterling, but the word was he was going to have a fitness test, implying a one game injury, and it fooled me.
