    I got 84 this week! Got 56 last week I think. Only 15 behind the leader now.

    Just need to get rid of Rooney.

    I'm 17th or something I think, I didn't actually check yet. I need to get rid of Rooney as well.

    I've a tradition of starting badly and getting much better as the season goes on - shocking start last year cost me big time, hope this years start didn't cost me!

    I'm really enjoying this so far, taken me a while to get the hang of it (so far had to sell Song and Aguero) but I'm slowly climbing! :p
    Gone from bottom to 12th. Bit of fun anyway :)

    Great I'm in, hopefully will have a good start this weekend :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 154 ✭✭trinib


    Not a great start to my ladies lounge ff. Only for I had Tevez captain I was rightly screwed. Have 3 expensive enough defenders thinking of downgrading one of them to get Rvp or Torres in. Obviously this will mean a 4 point hit too n getting rid of Cisse Tevez(no way) or Graham.

    Finished this week on 60 points. Had a poor return today though or it could have been a great week. Still sitting on 3rd in the league...

    Ended on 66 points - Swansea leaking 2 goals and Everton losing cost me - I have a feeling that its going to be one of those weird seasons again!

    Went to update my lovely table - and its gone - have to start again, damn!

    66 was a good score considering you only had 9 players scoring.

    God dammit Van Persie.

    68 this week despite not have a full starting XI :D. Delighted with that.

    General tips for people who never played this game/haven't a clue;

    1: Don't buy expensive defenders/keepers. 5.5 is the max I'd spend on either. Use the rest to load up on the leagues best attacking talent.

    2: Don't buy good defenders, buy cheep defenders from good defences; (Arsenal, United, Chelsea, City, Spurs, Newcastle, Stoke, West Ham)

    3: Dont buy defencive midfilders, they're FF poison.

    Tips for this week;

    1: Don't make any transfers yet. Two weeks of internationals will see players get injured. Wait and see who gets injured. Think about playing your wildcard (As many free transfers as you like untill the next game week. Can only use once a season.) this week.

    2: United are playing Wigan, Chelsea are playing QPR, Arsenal are playing Southampton. Put RVP, Hazard, Torres or Carzola as your captian. ;)


    Oh and the person in 25th, you have two players who dont play in the PL anymore! Get the finger out! :p

    Another tip, keep an eye on the number of fixtures in the next several game weeks, sometimes you'll have a team that doesn't play because of other commitments (meaning two teams are out that game week) so keep those players on the bench (eg chelsea this week). Or you'll have the opposite case where a team plays twice (chelsea last week) so buy some of those players, or at least make one of them captain!

    Despite Van Persie's hat trick, Tevez scored the same number of points as him this week but Van Persie is nearly four million dearer. I'd rather spend that extra money on a top midfielder. 13.3 million for one player is just too much for me. He'd have to be scoring a hat trick every week to justify that!


  • Moderators, Regional Abroad Moderators Posts: 26,928 Mod ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Absolute muck week for me, couldn't edit my team on my phone and I was away from Wednesday until last night. Must do better this week...

    I have Tevez too, just can't afford RVP. I need to find that other consistent striker to partner up Tevez. I don't think Adebayor is that player.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,518 ✭✭✭krankykitty


    Good old RVP, I thought it was all going downhill after the penalty miss... My new favourite United player :)

    Had Hazard and Cole too, forgot they weren't playing this week, rookie mistake doing the wild card to get Hazard in this week.

    Have Tevez as well. I'll keep him until his annual "I hate football, want to go back to Argentina" histrionics.

    Ya Adebayor is too inconsistent and Spurs are sh1te right now. Berbatov could be worth a crack now that he should be playing more often but again he's another Adebayor type...you just don't know what you're gonna get with him from one week to the next. I think I might take a punt on Fletcher though, reckon he could bang them in as he should get good quality service from Sunderland's wide players.
