WHU606 Premier League Fantasy Football for 2018-19

Or put money on them to win hoping they lose madness

MrsGrey

He won't score now, Baz. Spurs confirmed he's crocked. Isn't expected back in training until early March.

Bazshuayi

Well he didnt need to go that far! Oh well, I guess I'll have to make another TF ;whistle

Checked my cup opponent and he, like me, has a crocked Kane and TAA which is total justification for me to make more than 1 TF no? ;wink

MrsGrey

Well, I have just done so.

That's 3 weeks in a row ;nonono

MrsGrey

My cheap team was knocked out of the cup though ;weep

I thought it likely, since my opponent had a full price team AND played his wildcard, so had a fully fit and in-form squad.

Bazshuayi

You've done very well recently with your cheap team. So, although perhaps inevitable, you've got to be proud of them ;clap

If you had progressed a few more rounds I would have urged you to abandon the 7.5 restriction and see how far you made it ;lol (as in use your wildcard to get better players in and when you bowed out to make X amount of transfers to revert back with us taking into account what it would cost you to revert and mentally adding those lost points back on at the end of the season. Well you know what I mean, I think ;puzzled )

MrsGrey

;puzzled





;lol

Expat_Hammer

Baz, I shall keep a watchful eye over your team from now on

;lol

Vorselaarhammer

So with the Kane injury I played my Wildcard as I had lots of money to spend....

I've gone for a 5 man MF...

;lol

My cheap team didnt even qualify (I think) or it lost straight away. ;lol

In any case, the last post I made here is full of pitfalls especially in terms of points gained via more expensive players and reverting etc. It was just a momentary thought that it'd be nice for a fellow hammer to go as far as possible in the cup

My own cheap team has been subject to a few bad decisions and a bit of poor fortune recently so I need to get it out of a rut. If I had more players to chose from I'd have played my wildcard already (not just because I enjoy a TF or 2 ;whistle )

MrsGrey

I wonder who else is still in the Cup?

Bazshuayi

My normal team still is

MrsGrey

;bowdown

Bazshuayi

Its all about fighting on those 5 fronts (league, H2H, Cheap, cup and draft) like the big boys do hahaha

The pressure not to be generous/excessive with TFs is enormous. Its totally stunting my normal gung ho style ;wahoo maybe character building ;hmm

I was top in all 4 leagues until recently. Slipped in H2H and cheap to a pathetic 2nd. I'm not sure I can currently deal with the shame of that. I feel like I could do a Spurs and blow 'em all which would be both devastating and hilarious ;weep ;lol and ;wahoo

Not this week for the cup though as I dont want a foreign Man Utd supporter doing me. Already had to sort out Kane situation then try not to TF out Trent AA and waste four points. Now Pogbas other half has just had a baby so he'll probably miss this GW too! Cursing playing my wildcard before the Kane ankle went ;doh

;nonono ;weep

Bazshuayi

Good job I didnt TF him into my cheap team eh Expat ;wink

MrsGrey

;doh And now Arnie's missing. Moura's still injured.

#backtothedrawingboard

Bazshuayi

Anticipated and binned him off the day after the GW finished

Moura has 'Arnie' injury, I mean a knee injury (Lamela probably the beneficiary of Moura and Son being out as he'll play high up I reckon) ;yercoat

Assuming Llorente will get game time now but wonder how rusty he is. At the end of the day its Spurs so you know they'll let you down whoever you pick to play against leaky Fulham ;hmm ;doh

MrsGrey

Team news for the early game. Doherty benched. Maddison benched.

lol


(ie. not lol)

Bazshuayi

bad start for me. Periera -1, Doherty 1 Patricio 2. Everyone else has got fit liverpool defenders and im regretting being cautious TF wise! H2h Buffys Ballstars most likely the only team with hattrick Jota in it ;lol ;doh May go back to bed already ;nonono

MrsGrey

I'm well on track to lose in the H2H.

Against 'Average'. ;lol ;weep

MrsGrey

OMG. ;doh

Luke Shaw felt ill in the warm up and has been subbed before KO.

Baz, I may follow your example.

#hidesunderduvet

Bazshuayi

Average was amazing last year. This season I think its a bit of second season syndrome ;wink

Bazshuayi

LOL I was going to bring him in for Trent AA ;doh

MrsGrey

Dodged a bullet ;ok

See, now you're glad you were cautious!

Bazshuayi

Id have put him in the starting line up for Periera and probably gained more point than the TF fine (not going to ever admit that cautious is right for me hehe)

Theres plenty of room under my duvet ;wink

Bazshuayi

I have a guy from Thailand in the cup next round who's team name is 'spurs' so theres an instant want to dump his behind out next round. Whilst doing a bit of Bielsa spying on his team I noted that he started in GW7 and then made a lot of TFs in GW8 (as in SEVENTEEN TFs at a cost of 64 points - still not enough to like him). So he most likely went to play his wildcard and didnt click it to confirm? ;lol He still hasnt played a wildcard all season so I am assuming its the case. Played triple captain on Salah last week @45pts. Wondering now if a wildcard or another chip will be played against me ;hmm If not, my teams stronger IMO so I am hoping to dispatch my second spud of the campaign...

On the domestic H2H front I have Gina this week who's delighting in catching me up (from being about 9 or 10 pts behind). I've been slapped about recently in the H2H. Some bad choices and some bad luck has seen me have chances to go 6 points clear and now Im 6 points behind! ;weep Last season I made a few TFs purposely in the GW against her ( I figured it was a mini wildcard week and if I lost at least I wouldnt get grief plus I wasnt tht high in the league anyway). This season we're both now challenging... So I am not quite sure what to do.... ;hmm

MrsGrey

Go for domestic harmony ;biggrin

OutcastLondoner

Gone from bottom 3 to 14th since I played my wildcard late November. Coming for you Baz ;wahoo

MrsGrey

If you've got Kamara in your squad, you might want to get rid before his price plummets.

Arrested on Monday, and he's now "banned indefinitely from all club activities".
