Think i'm gonna go a bit nuts with Liverpool players - i can bring in VVD Henderson and Firmino to add to TAA Robertson and Mané. Will then have 13 transfers for the rest of the season

I'm gonna have 6 too. Only difference is Alisson and Salah vs your Mané and Robertson.

Dead level atop the boards league. Pereira(C) worked out well for me today. Now to see how Liverpool players fare.

manual_man · 24-01-2020 2:09am

Another good showing today with Firmino(C) and Henderson bringing home the bacon. Into the top 1k for the 1st time. Though not quite as good as team Sky Virgins(is that you Dearg?)who had an even better showing.

Yea I can't lose at this game at the moment, I wish I had the same luck in FPL!

Up now to 45th Overall with 15 transfers left. How are the rest of you getting on and thoughts with overhaul ?

You probably could win it with 15 transfers left, I'd imagine most people ahead of you don't have that many. I've 13 and I'm up to 609th after a ridiculous score this week of 176 points. I haven't thought about the overhaul week yet.

I know starting to get nervous now. I seen this on twitter before the Liverpool game of transfers remaining and probably much less now. that’s a brilliant score you have many transfers left ?

I've 13, I used 5 this week wisely on some of the high scoring Liverpool players, I've 7 for next week.

For the overhaul could I lose value on players if I take them out and decide to put them back in? I don't understand the price changes in the game, I can't see anything in the rules section.

Prices don’t changes on players they stay the same. makes things interesting. Think overhaul will be interesting regards Liverpool. with league pretty much wrapped up they might rest players before big champions leagues games so going to have to pick wisely

Yea I guess we just try and pick players who are guaranteed to play like Grealish and Jiminez. It will be tricky though as you need to have a couple of big players in there.

manual_man · 25-01-2020 1:23pm

Quality stuff lads. Yup the Boardsies

manual_man · 29-01-2020 1:21pm

Worth doing Sarr and Manè to Cantwell and Salah do ye think? I'd probably captain Salah tonight. Mané won't play tonight and probably won't start at the weekend. Sarr is a big doubt for the weekend too. Important decision. Reluctant to use two more transfers. Other 'Pool players are Bobby, TAA, VVD, Robbo and Hendo

After tonight’s their game is their is a overhaul aka a wildcard which lets you make unlimited changes. So wait until then

I had 8, I brought in Van Dijk today. I even had the Ox and ignored Mané last week. Everything went my way last 2 weeks.

I'm raging I forgot to pick a couple of captains earlier in the season now! I might have given up a run for your money.

You might as well aim high and go for 1st. It's a pity they don't spread the cash out a bit more though. You deserve something if you get10th.

If I get into top 10 will aim for first , yea it’s pretty crap but I’m near the top of a few leagues so hopefully might win a few things. You still in the cup ?

Up to 565th myself. Out of around 400k or so teams that started the season - not bad! Props to you 2 lads up even higher! I've only 11 transfers left now... So will have to be very prudent and try to set things up solidly with the overhaul. How many transfers do each of ye have?

I've 12 transfers. I thought the overhaul was this week until I saw your post so I'm a bit screwed this this week as i don't fancy Liverpool to score many against Southampton and I think Ings might nick one.

I have 14 transfers left , looking forward to overhaul

extra gravy · 30-01-2020 10:36am

I haven't been paying this a huge amount of attention but still at 9k so am going all in now to get a decent finish. That's if I don't makes a balls of the overhaul!

manual_man · 31-01-2020 12:39am

Bruno Fernandes added at £10.1m

Interesting price. Not sure i'll overhaul him in, but when their fixtures improve later on he'll be tempting.

manual_man · 01-02-2020 5:31pm

Looking forward to seeing where you are in the rankings after this, Dearg! Great going! Especially if the Liverpool CS holds!

You’ll probably use a transfer to have a captain tomorrow I guess? Aguero or KDB perhaps?

Yea I messed up with the overhaul like I said. I'll probably bring in Sergio as captain tomorrow as I have nobody playing.

Especially with his form he could Easliy get 1/2 goals which could hurt us both. Hopefully plenty of green arrow tonight for use both.

You don't have any Sunday players. Unless you get one in. Your overhaul team only starts scoring from Feb 8th

How are you lads doing in FPL? I've started moving up the rankings in that too now which isn't surprising as I pick similar teams in both.

Donegal1234 · 01-02-2020 10:30pm

Up to 24th overall , think I’m not going to make a transfer will keep them for future dgw. So praying for a 1nil spurs win with plenty of yellow cards and augero being rested lol

This season has been a disaster in that for me. Can't seem to get a run going at all. Just trudging along the 500k mark for what seems eternity

manual_man · 02-02-2020 8:46pm

City assets a letdown today. Though there easily could have been some mega hauls!
