Ah OK.
The thing is Liverpool & Leicester don't rotate well at all. If I had owned Gomez I think I would have played him ahead of all the teams I mentioned (purely fixtures-wise) and out of the 3 you mentioned I'd only have favoured Huth (whom I actually own and played).
Anyway, this doesn't make your point un-valid (not my intention anyway) but I wanted to stress that spending "reasonably" in defense could work well too and save some selection dilemmas
.
Also the cheap defense point was stronger last year wasn't it (though it's only 1 GW so far)?
Leicester/Liverpool would have given this:
SUN, BOU, TOT, WHM, AVL, NOR, AVL, so I would have thought it would have been a popular paiting for the 2/3 format. No point looking much beyond that with the way the wildcards work now.
Having looked at that I wish I had a Leicester defender to rotate with Gomez now lol!0 -

I looked at rotations over the first 8 weeks or so as it's likely I'll have used my wildcard by then. The best rotating pair of teams over that period with Liverpool is Leicester and Stoke (if only one of the three is playing), so the Leicester defender definitely would have been in the team for this week anyway home to Sunderland.What rotation are you looking at! Leiceter Liverpool gives this:
BOU, TOT, WHM, AVL, NOR, AVL, and thats not even taking into account a third team thats dam good rotation!! No point looking much beyond that with the way the wildcards work now.
Just to be more precise.
When I consider my rotating plans, I look at 2 things:
1) The season home/away rotation table => http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=96227741&postcount=578
e.g. unless there is an exceptionally favourable run of fixtures I'm not gonna bother with Pool and Villa with only 4 "rotating" games.
2) The short-terms rotations
e.g. the Liverpool-Leicester you just gave jimmii.

As I said, I was very busy these last weeks and rushed my team, so the only short-terms rotations I considered are the ones from this FFS article.
Obviously I missed the Pool-Leicester one
. And didn't know about Pool-Leicester-Stoke (which actually sounds good). I also don't know about Gomez' starting position.
But in hindsight, I thought a £4.5m 'Pool def needs consideration after their good CS record last year and wondered how I missed it (despite the little time I spent in making my team)

Yeh I missed it too not sure how looking at it now! I did go with Gomez but only as back up unfortunately he'll be playing this week ahead of Azpi though. Took a punt on him and Ibe in UFPL handy having the subs there though for when one of them does get dropped! If Gomez starts the first three his ownership is going to be massive!0 -

Ah here. Putting Aguero in your starting team based on the high liklihood that he'd play some part gw1 is hardly kneejerking.
Id call it considering the changing environment and reacting rather than retaining attachment to a previous but now superseded plan.
I changed my team structure of 4 odd weeks after very careful consideration and I'm mighty happy i did.
^^^^^
The most dangerous of the Kneejerkers, one who rationalises his kneejerking jerks.

I had an ARF (Aguero Replacement Fund) in place to get him in with 2 transfers. The fact I dedicated time come up with an ever so witty name shows my commitment to the Sergio cause
Hope I'll be jerking my knees later as I leap with joy. As far as I'm concerned I saved myself those 2 transfers as the striking placeholders didnt fill me with much confidence.
The most I really expect is 30 minutes but that could be enough to sate my appetite.
Mr.P don't knee jerk, he's just a crazy mofo that don't play by no rules. Yeehaw!! 0 -
