    Will be taking a -4 before deadline for the same 2 players in to get me 11 active players. Not even caring of price rises these times.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,699 ✭✭✭✭Cartman78


    Still pondering this one....only have Bilva for the City game (I suspect KDB and Foden are the ones to have this GW).

    Hopefully Wilson can do something... desperate times lads

    Took a -8 last night to get potentially 9 players. I only had 5 before hand.


    Antonio, ronaldo, gray and livramento out


    Watkins, lacazette, foden and Tierney in.


    Gives me a starting front 9 of


    James, taa, cancelo, Tierney

    Salah, foden, Bilva

    Watkins, lacazette.


    No goalkeeper, not bothered. Missing an attacker but can't see anyone else who's worth another -4.


    And sure if games are called off, well, lol 😆

    Can take a -8 to get me to 11 players with Bilva flagged

    Burn -> Cash

    Loftus Cheek -> Ramsey

    Maupay -> Wood

    I heard Bsilva is a niggle. I put him first on the bench and did the transfers. Seems to be very minor - but knowing Pep he will likely rest him.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Fair play, not easy with so many out. Such a lottery at the moment.

    The only thing with taking hits for players this week is that it's really only a -2 in a sense as the player you're replacing will get no points regardless. So instead of needing 5+ points from your shiny new toy and your 'old' player to stay quiet, you only need the new player to score 3+ points for it to be worth it, knowing your old player will still score 0.

    How I currently am. 1 free transfer. Thinking of Gallagher to foden or salah to Kdb. Is there any chance silva and foden both start a game together



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,097 ✭✭✭JPup


    Remember to think in terms of the next few game weeks. Taking a hit might not be a bad decision but you need to make sure you like the look of your team for at least the next 3 weeks, not just this one.

    Ah balls the Villa game off.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,832 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    This. Its actually the most opportune time ever to take hits when you know holding a player you have is going to deliver 0 points. So long as the new player starts, plays 60 and doesnt get booked the hit is only a -2 to what you would have had with a non playing player.

    Similarly its the worst possible time to play a free hit just to get an extra 3 or 4 players on the pitch. These blanks mean double gameweeks ahead where those with the free hit chip can get 22 chances to score points rather than only 11 by using it this week. There could be a 50-60 point swing between using a free hit this week and holding off for the double gameweek.

    ffs



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,753 ✭✭✭sheroman01


    Brought in Watkins already. Fcuk sake. And I was relying on Lowton and Brownhill. I have 6 players now ...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,885 ✭✭✭✭MEGA BRO WOLF 5000


    **** sakes -8 to fill a team with Watkins and ming's and now it's off. **** hell



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,333 ✭✭✭thefallingman


    Fuk this variant is rampant



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,487 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Deadline I think should be 4pm now for anyone thinking of getting transfers for the Arsenal game.

    Not confirmed but would make sense.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 734 ✭✭✭Newbie20


    Deadline gone to 4pm

    thank god I was holding off bringing in Watkins til the last minute



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,464 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    They'll have to call the whole thing off next week.



  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,351 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    It is. I set an alarm on my phone for 1pm so I would remember to do my transfer before deadline. Just changed it to 15:30 now. This game week is a joke. 6 of 10 games postponed.

    The players who test positive have to isolate for 10 days so most of them wouldn't be available next week anyway meaning the same teams will have the same problem next week. Even if no other teams have outbreaks, is that going to be 5 games postponed next week? That isn't really workable.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 43,023 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Villa game going down on the day is pretty sick. Cost me big time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,699 ✭✭✭✭Cartman78


    So long Watkins, hello Lacazette lol.

    This is farcical now...the games should be cancelled this weekend



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,089 ✭✭✭✭shmeee


    Carnage all around now.

    Didn't make any moves yet thank ****!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,139 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU


    Glad I waited, learned my lesson after bringing in Ronaldo and Dennis last gw.


    Lacazette now likely to come in with Tierney



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    Literally just took a -8.

    I give **** up



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,289 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    Same boat, wondering if. free hit to cancel it might be the way forward?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,165 ✭✭✭markc91


    deadline still saying 13:30?
