WHU606 Fantasy Premier League 16/17 (now with added prizes)

Bazshuayi

Since making my 'significant' TFs I've changed my mind several times...

Closely watching Alli and Gabbiadini this week. Needed funds so Alli went + Gabbiadini has been practicing goals scoring with Calleri so he got cut too.

Expecting Gab and Alli to get at least 2 goals each this GW now ;doh

Expat_Hammer

;biggrin that would be nice Baz

TwistandShout

After dealing with the shakes, i just had to make another transfer bazfer ;puzzled

Bazshuayi

You're playing against a team with 4 injured players, Stuani who is not even a starter anymore, Bellerin if Ox is fit will prob be sub + Walker who'll be rotated for one of the double games and a Captain of... wait for it.... Batshuayi! You could make 5 Bazfers easily and still win comfortably.

#I should be so lucky...

Bazshuayi

"and a Captain of... wait for it.... Batshuayi!" ;puzzled ;whistle ;run

Hamstew

Solid start with Alonso às Cap'n

Bazshuayi

Spent 8 points to get Costa in so he needs to pull his finger out against Watford ;hmm

IronHerb

I've got you covered on that one Hammy.

Bazshuayi

GW35 Kompany in 0pts
GW36 Kompany benched 11pts
GW37 Kompany in 0pts

Is someone trying to tell me something ;hmm

SuzanneClaret

Costa ;deadhorse ;deadhorse

Expat_Hammer

It's the poor Kompany that you keep Baz ;yercoat

Bazshuayi

I was tempted by a bad Kompany pun but resisted... Glad you didnt ;lol

SuzanneClaret

Yeah but Costa


;deadhorse ;deadhorse

Bazshuayi

I'll agree if Costa doesnt do something vs Watford

SuzanneClaret

Can I just whack him a bit now? ;fishslap

Bazshuayi

Yep, no problem with that. Do it just enough not to inhibit him from scoring/assisting though ;wink

SuzanneClaret

;biggrin ;ok

Expat_Hammer

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, none of my Soton players are playing ;angry

MrsGrey

2 out of 3 for me. ;doh

Bazshuayi

That's Puel luck ;run

Bazshuayi

Now you've got to hope all 3 dont play the next game or you'll miss out on Kings points

This can be such a frustrating game

Bazshuayi

I Tf'd Gabbiadini out because I thought he might be rested (Puel rotates a lot but I didnt think he'd make that many changes. One of the reasons I picked the GK rather than a Soton defender for 36 and 37) plus he just didnt seem to be getting any chances when I watched their last two games.

I also realized that if I brought Sane in (which I wanted to) myself and Mrs Grey would have 7/8 of the same FWD and MF players. As I needed to counter her bench boost by having a couple more different players to give myself a chance I decided he had to go.

I couldnt risk Koscielny (despite thinking he'd recover) and figured I needed the funds from him to Holding plus Alli to Son to get Costa in (the only other FWD I thought worth taking a chance on was Vardy).

It cost me 8 points but if Son, Holding and Costa do better than Koscielny, Alli and Gabbiadini my 97th, 88th and 89th Bazfers ;wahoo would've been worth it in a calculated risk type of deal. ;lol

Not that I analyse way too much of course.... ;hmm

Can you tell I'm typing for the sake of it whilst waiting for the Arsenal game? ;wink

MrsGrey

;puzzled

Expat_Hammer

Just listening to Handel

Let me lament my Puel fate ;weep ;weep ;weep

MrsGrey

Sanchez off injured.

;weep

Bazshuayi

Davies on bench for me... Hence the assist after 5 minutes ;doh Sometimes having too many good players isnt a good thing (allied to a consistent wrong selection from the squad choice factor of course ;whistle )

Expat_Hammer

Baz, I'd get rid of the manager if I were you ;whistle

Bazshuayi

Problem is, I the board him a vote of confidence very recently ;hmm

OutcastLondoner

Ah but we all know that doesn't mean much.

Bazshuayi

There's always a chance that a Chinese consortium could want a change of manager. I think I've done a reasonable job in trying circumstances, especially early to mid season where I had to use all my skill and experience (luck) to climb both tables ;whistle
