    Yeah I had gotten it but again up to GW38 this -4 for Huth could still be worth it (over Stoke/Sunderland) considering their respective fixtures. I mean even if it does not work this week (Wolly 6 pts and Huth 3 pts) you may end with a positive balance on GW38.


    This is a super tough one... Spurs do concede goals so Berty attacking potential may be at use. But I guess the bookies favour a Stoke CS more than a Saints one? If it was done to that I'd follow the bookies. I actually can't remember a time when it worked for me but since it is a game of reducing the risks and increasing the probabilities, following the bookies is probably the less worse option :).

    But my advice would still be that the first point is the main one.
    Let's have a look at a nightmare scenario this week. I mean you do fancy Stoke & Saints CS this week and seems to be unsure about Leicester chances, accounting for the -4 & potential returns & BPs you could be down maximum 10-13 pts (Wolly/Berty 9/12 pts vs Huth 3) this week if everything goes wrong.

    Now you're gonna play Terry & Berty every week. GW37 PVA. And for the 3 other GWs you could take advantage of your Leicester def. And seeing him return 14 pts from these 3 games while your Stoke/Sunderland def only manages 4-5 pts is not something crazy and would make you break even. And that's with worst case scenario for this DGW!

    GW | Leicester | Stoke | Sunderland
    35 | NEW | swa | SOU
    36 | SOU | TOT | eve
    38 | QPR | LIV | che

    So, to conclude I'd go for Huth and for Berty/Wolly it's almost a coin toss. Are you gonna play Kane? If so you could bench him and play 4 at the back :p (I'm actually half-serious).

    So effectively what you're saying is I should go for it and you take full responsibility if it all goes arse wise. :D

    Good man. Merci!

    Well I've stupidly logged in before 11:30 and the Kane -> Kramaric notions had faded, had.

    Oh dear. 15 minutes to contain this...

    Took a 50 point hit in ultimate. Thought that might satisfy my dgw hits desires but no, 8 point hit taken in FPL, one more maybe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭tmc86


    Anyone think that Lovren will play?

    He was cheap and getting a game when I got him in. He got me 6 points the only time I played him. I'm quite fond of him because of that.

    Yeh at 3.9 he's a nice enabler had a decent run of games not so long ago alright. If Wasi still has a problem with the leg might be his chance to play his way back in.

    I've taken a -8:

    Forster to Mig
    Eriksen to Henderson
    Remy to Vardy

    The panic last minute question is...Bolasie to Fabregas for another -4? I can't decide!

    All my rivals will probably play Cyne and I'm top of my money league so I think I'll play it safe and leave him on the bench.

    Close over the rest of the season Fab should definitely be worth at least 4 more and may well make it back just this week. Guess it depends where will be weaker in the future if thats where the funds go.

    Done! Bolasie at home vs. Hull made it a difficult decision so I'll be hoping for a quiet game there.

    I also used the justification that my rival took a -4, so in terms of my private league I'm looking at it as a -8. At this stage I don't really care about the global rankings.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,886 ✭✭✭stephenl15


    Done Sanchez, Kosc, Mane and Remy --> Sterling, Skrtel, Coutinho and Vardy -8.....

    Good luck!! Yeh at this stage its so hard to make any headway in the OR may as well just focus on mini leagues.

    Kane out N'Doye In for a -4

    it's a big gamble!!

    Good man. Merci!

    Where are all my due merci ?!? :D :pac: ?!?

    And please make a prayer for my poor cursed soul. It was supposed to be my GW. I made the right choices. It was an almost perfect GW so far (just benching Kane instead of Silva left a little bit of bittterness in my mouth). This Leicester 1-0 with a Vardy goal was the ideal result for me. And then... I saw it. I felt it. The magnitude 10.0 earthquake. And then... There was silence.

    I was £0.1m short for getting Huth and thought the OOP thing could benefit him from Morgan so got Schlupp in. Like Chris Isaak was singing
    Ohh. Feel like crying :mad:, feel like crying :o.
    Ohh, feel like crying :rolleyes:, feel like crying :(...
