UFPL 2015/16

jimmii

Lining up like this:



Cedric & Ibe in the reserves are the only two that could be changed for the MD2 contingent.

I dropped from 166 to 984 shocker of a week and then Shaw. Bit of a week to forget.

One week after deadline and I am up to 3 red flags not good!

Yeah those weeks are a tough pill to take, funny old game, after you nearly tonned up the week before and jumped massively.. Still nice to be in the top 1k at this stage, a bumper week is great, but scoring above the average 9/10 weeks is what you want to be looking for, i'd say if we keep our eye on the ball there's a chance to rise in the rankings... some managers will lose interest and i think the big guns will start firing soon, which would affect some of those who are riding high currently and went with a lot of differentials

Yeh really in the end there are only probably around 1k teams being managed so being patient is enough to get you a decent 3 fig rank. Definitely would have taken a top 1k at this point just sucks to have dropped do far as it normally takes quite a while to make it back! Not missing deadlines is the key really and I am out of action for Mondays for another 4 weeks so going to be tricky!

getting annoyed when a few of your players are one recovery or cbi away from an extra point :pac:

Looks like Kane is going to get the chance to disappoint me yet again. Who do you have?

Kane and Tekkers in team 1. probably captain Tekkers. Coutinho and Chadli in team 2

34 points have dropped from 166 to 1729 in a week and a half. After changes will be 24 with Gomez, Mane, Chadli, Punch, Tekkers (c) and Kane to go. Something better bloody happen!

Trimm Trabb

29 with Cedric, Alderweild, Darmian, Gomez, Sako, Ibe and Benteke (c) still to play - down a couple of places to 1156.

I reckon a fair few of the top 1000 don't have Aguero - he's still going to end up top scorer in the league so once he starts firing should see some upward movement.

jimmii

He's the highest owned player in the game at 58% but hopefully thats all us waiting just outside the 1k waiting to pounce!

Markx

Coughing up 11 points from 53 to bring in Benteke(c), Alderweireld, Mane, Chadli and Clyne.

Seem to be subbing out all my expensive players as a rule each week. The season of weirdness continues.

42 with that to go looks a pretty good position to be in.

Finding the same with the bench very expensive players sitting there at on Sunday evening! 3 big chances missed from Aguero is not something you see very often!

Yeah I just clicked into a few of the top teams yesterday and thought some of them had quite strange picks and a few were Aguero-less.

Yeh a lot at the top have been brave but surely that will count against then in the end! It bloody better!!

Next week looks like a disaster. I've one non-MD1 player and thats Kone. Can't imagine too many would have more than 3 or 4 though. Makes it a nightmare to pick the MD1 team too.

Yeh the odd numbers weeks for a while are horrible fixtures most won't have more than a couple of players. I have Deeney, Punch and McCarthy. Given the fixtures having more than 4 is probably a mistake really.

Forgot to change my team this morning, thankfully only cost me three points but it could have been much worse. Down to 1.1K now.

Bad week for me. 3 of my defenders dropped - Gomez, Soares and Muniesa! It's gonna be tough playing with 5 defenders so hoping at leas Soares gets recalled soon, I think Gomez's run of games is over, not sure about Muniesa.

Similar position to me I have Gomez, Shaw & Cedric. Been a bit of a nightmare week for my defence!

Of course it had to happen just after the transfer window closes!

Unreal alright. After last year I had made sure I was very happy with my defence now I expected Gomez to fall out of favour at some point but Cedric and obviously Shaw have been very unwelcome issues! Still have Kosc, Super Kol and Azpi but going to be running pretty short if anything happens to one of them!

I think Cedric might be in and out of the team, he doesn't look much of a defender but I'm hoping Koeman will still play him against from time to time as a wing back now Betrand is nearly back. The 2 of them would suit a 352 formation.

Yeh think I might get a few minutes out of him hopefully. Easy MD1 pick but don't fancy having him as an MD2/3 option now though.

ive been lucky in that regard tho i may be without Dieeeego for a few games for my 2nd team by the looks

edit: well actually have Silva in both teams so wait and see on that injury front. at least if he's out for a while can loan in KDB like-for-like

Trimm Trabb

Foraying into the loan market this week with Martial in for Benteke for Saturday (c) and Barkley in for Sterling in case I need a Monday captain and just to bulk up my empty looking MD 2/3 bench.

May do so myself with Benteke and Silva possibly out and Costa definitely out
