January wildcard

FHFC

If I may be so bold as to start a new thread.

What are peoples plans/strategy for this in Jan?

Is it best to get it done early to try to gain ground and value or wait a while and see if there are any nice new signings about provided your team is on midline shape?

When is generally best for price rises? Do the majority of casual players go on jan 1 and the prices go crazy or is it evenly spread over the month? It's a 10 day GW at the start too, although so is the last week of the month.

Finally, how the hell do we not end up all with the exact same team, or 90% the same at least?

First time playing so interested but I'm sure the discussion would be of interest to all.

chambers to clyne and oviedo to jedinak dont have players in your wildcard team that dont play.

apologies red devil I see chambers started ahead of clyne. I presumed clyne was first choice as he has been the last 18 months when fit.

Can't decide whether to use wildcard this week or next, reckon going plump for this week get more out of it.

Mr.Prodston

I'm looking forward to activating that Wildcard later on tonight. 10 days of running through permutations and combinations in my quietest week or so before college well and truly rears its ugly head again. Absolute bliss

Danger781

Chester after doing his hamstring, and my need for Aguero to be in my team..

I think it's WILDCARD TIMEEE!

G1032

I'm going to activate WC tonight. Is Coleman to Baines a crazy idea? I've Coleman since day 1. Baines a bonus point magnet though and will score goals

KevIRL

Activated.

FHFC

As soon as I get the kids to bed I'll be joining yiz lads.

Any more on Chester , def hamstring again?

Mr.Prodston

Having looked on for a few weeks and observed some of the trends it's now time for Mr.P to enter the fray.

And it feels so good!

I'm sticking with Coleman simply because he is playing for a new contract and Baines isnt.

Well Baines will take more free-kicks and Penalties than Coleman. Coleman will score more from play. Both contribute to an Everton clean sheet. Depending on how much you have to spend on defenders and how much you need a significant boost then the risk and reward option is Baines.

I'll consider it myself and it's far from madness but remember that you ditch Sheamie at your peril.

Don't think Coleman has any worries about getting a new contract already...

Should have spoke clearer. He'll be offered a new contract alright, his performances will decide the value of it and players always up their game around contract time and often taper off when its signed.

Mr.Prodston

Anyone with a free spot in midfield for a day or two on the WC I'd appreciate if ye could bring Sterling in. Probably a bridge too far to rise a day before Cabaye though

Danger781

Any word on why Clyne was dropped today?

G1032

No word on Clyne
Was Lallana injured? Do I bring him in now? If he's injured I can get the rises from Wilshere and Johnson

Fizman

Activated. A week earlier than planned, but a 10 day gap and the increases to prime targets.....need to go now.

G1032

Wildcard active. Brought in Lallana simply because everyone has him and he's going up again tonight. If he's injured I may be able to squeeze a 0.1 rise out of Johnson instead although because he's also going up tonight it'll mean he'll have to rise 0.3 in the GW for me to profit from him.

Players out - Ozil, Moxey, Ridgewell, Jedinak, Daniels and Chester

Mertesacker will be sold after he rises tonight. Kos or Sagna will replace him
Szcz may go depending on funds
Coleman may be sold for Baines. Got 10 days or whatever to think about that one
Adebayor may go too but unsure about who to replace him with.

Anyway, I hope to get a price rise or two over the next few days and go from there. No big deal if I don't get them. Team needed freshening up anyway

Danger781

Juding by the sheer number of transfers in, these seem most likely to rise for the week..

Danger781

Wildcard money making team is in effect..

Johnson, Wilshere, Kolarov, Williamson, Mannone, all possible to rise 0.1 or more this week

Crouch is just there so I can spend the money elsewhere before Sturridge / Someone else rises in price

Williamson has been hanging around over 90% to a rise for weeks. Zero chance he'll make 0.2 this week.

Doubt if any def other than Kolarov will do it. Some of the Arsenal lads might.

I plan on bringing Williamson in anyway so it's all the one!

I could swap him out for Koscielny or Jagielka

Although neither look likely for a 0.2!

Crouch -> Campbell frees up 0.3 to bring in big Mert.. Problem solved

FHFC

Is Johnston or Ki most likely to make 0.2?

Ki is cheaper and might make more wildcard 5th mid spots.....a lot more NTI for Johnston so far...

I'm prob gonna keep Kolarov, although I'd like to keep the double arsenal defs till the Palace game week after next at least.

Doubt very much any other def will do it. I'm gonna stick Jagielka in for now, if he goes and scores tomorrow he could work out, otherwise will stick in somebody at 3.8 to maximise investable cash...

Probably. This'll do for now. Probably only 2 or 3 players I don't wanna keep that I'll be able to make a profit on.

Johnson easily. Although come next Tuesday week I may well be tempted to keep him for a few GWs as he seems to be in form. I laughed this week but he's certainly something different and very much a confidence player of which he must have quite a lot right about now.

Am I right in saying that the increases don't go through til about 3 am?

If I get Adam Johnson etc in now will I benefit from their rises?

1.30 is the threshold this year, hope you have your transfers done
