    Bought in Sterling for Alli and Jones for Trippear.

    You will now see City lose their first game of the season today....

    #garrenteed...

    If Spurs had their first choice defence playing then I think they'd be the only team who had a chance of standing toe to toe with City. I believe Spurs will score ( despite me not TFing Kane out) with Mangala at the back. But without Sanchez and Alderweireld at the back, whoever plays up top for City will outscore them.

    I like Trippier but he's too expensive for a defender who is rotated. So Jones, IMO, is a good swap. However, Sterling will be rested and Alli will score ;lol ;run

    So, my decision to bring in Okazaki is working out well ;doh
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    as well as my decision to get rid of Zaha from my team and Benteke from my draft squad (nil points since I drafted him gw12) ;hmm ;doh (I swear the football gods hate me)

  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    ;nonono I thought you had kept them, and was just going to come on and say 'See, patience brings it own rewards!' ;lol ;doh ;hug
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    got rid of zaha last week for loftus cheek to pay for Kane

    Benteke had enough chances. I couldve brought in loads of strikers who could get 2pts a week ;wave
  • MunichHammerMunichHammer
    Oh for crying out loud! I tf Silva in and he doesn't play.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Well that shows your anti Bazfer strategy was right? ;whistle
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    So sterling in his first game for me scores 12 points....

    Getting rid of Alli and trippear also the right call.

    Love it when a plan comes together....

    I got rid of Dirty Alli ages ago for Salah ;ok

    oohhhh am on a cup run, took out an overseas scouser this weekend ;ok

    So to stay in the cup I need young Kenny of Everton to keep a clean sheet, score a goal, make an assist and be Man Of The Match.

    Don't think I'll be in the hat somehow. ;weep

    Still in the cup even with a -8 deficit from the start.

    Firmino was an inspired substitution on my part.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Think I might use my free transfer on moving David Silva out for Sterling still have some money in the bank. Was going to trade Elliot out for Adrian but since Elliot is playing again I think I will use the spare cash for Sterling. Then I think I will pitch my bench boost this week as I see a high chance of decent points from the bench.

    Will have to wait till after the League Cup games though. Just in case of any injuries.


    Big games for Newcastle vs West Ham / Swansea vs Crystal Palace / Brighton vs Watford / Burnley vs Spurs. Where my subs all have a reasonable chance to score some points.
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    When using your bonus features, triple captain, bench boost etc, do the extra points count in the cup?

    I bet it probably does although logic tells me it shouldn’t,
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Yes it does.
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Thanks -think I will save mine up for the final ;wink

    Overseas Arsenal fan bites the dust against me (and overseas Man Utd fan for gf). One of those rare weeks where I had no transfer penalty points ;wahoo
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    You have to beat your opponent 20 times I believe to get to the final. That's a lot of cup wins !

    My next opponent is an overseas Man City Fan.....and they scored 72 points in the first cup week and 75 points this week. ;sofa I think it maybe Bench Boost time.
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    I beat a Serbian but he didn't list his PL team.

    I am going to assume he was a Spud....
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Shock news just in.... I've gambled and given my opponent an 8 point start after making 3 TFs
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    My next opponent is a Southampton supporting Irishman - proof that footie fans can be found in all shades and guieses ;ok

    Still going to smash him, Wembley, Wembley scarvab

    Out of the Cup in the third round, second year running. Shed loads of points on my bench are of no use against a Liverpool fan who had Salah, Firmino and Coutinho in a week when they were on fire.
    ;weep
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    out of the cup because i didnt captain Kane and the other guy did. If he hadnt captained Kane and i had Captained anyone else other than Sane i would have beaten this guy, its so sad.
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Think I have scraped through into the next round, my opponent,s captain did not play so his vice captain doubled points and got 28, think I nicked it by a point.

    Felt brave and appointed Arnie as my captain ;phew
  • OutcastLondonerOutcastLondoner
    20 points on my bench.
  • Expat_HammerExpat_Hammer
    Managed to scrape through too,
    can't believe that there are so many worse than me out there ;lol

    I beat a scouser fan from Trinidad. gave him an 8 point lead but I scored 87 to his 41. Bragging over straight away though as I admit with the run of games in proximity starting, I am scared my players like Firmino, Sterling, Salah, Hazard will be rested either next game or the game after. So those next two cup rounds will be crucial and maybe just be a case of who's luckier with the rested contingent. Gf lost out after captaining Sane. She was waiting for 0.1 to sign Sterling (who was my captain) during the week but as soon as she got the extra money Choupo Moting lost 0.1. So she transfered him out for Silva and the 13 points Choupo scored ended up being crucial. That'll teach her for copying my gung ho transfer policies :wink: ;whistle

    Managed a club record 102 points this week! Given the players the day off. They are going to the Sugar Hut for a Christmas party.

    Deanscale, 102 points! ;bowdown

    I managed a thoroughly average 60.

    My careful planning to ensure I had a full squad to cover rotations has come to nought. ;doh
