my cheap team is 2pts behind. However, I have an extra player to play in the cheap team ( the other 3 players in each team are the same) plus Zaha as captain. So Id say with near certainty that my cheap team will be ahead when the GW finishes. One of my draft teams has even more points than both with no captain allowed and players to play still!
I haven’t made one change yet, but will have to now, only positive was changing Arnie to captain, ive had Zaha, Cook and Albrighton scoring points on the bench ;doh
Slightly off topic and different fantasy league (telegraph) but you’ll be hard pushed to beat this incredible piece of management ;cool
On Saturday am i remove Leporte and Anderson and brought in Richarlson, so nice goal and assist lost there and gained a red. No problems with the slightly annoying confirmation button on their site which you can sometimes miss on a phone as you have to scroll down, nailed it.
Then in order to try and correct the issue, Sunday morning I bring in 3 CFC players, Alonso, Pedro and Hazard plus Mitrovic of Fulham
You know that annoying confirmation / submit button I mentioned, yep I thought I’d hit it, in fact I’m sure I did, none of the changes took. Cost me around 30 points as 3 goals and 3 assists later..... ;doh
Would’ve gone from 11th to 2nd in the respective league, one I’ve been playing in since the telegraph started their fantasy game and you had to post your entry in (and subs)
I think this is always the stage of the season where I have a meltdown (fantasy self-destruct, which is better?)...
So I dont feel bad making FIVE TFs.
I probably will feel bad when the international break comes (when I always theoretically want to have my wildcard) and my TFs get injured. But for now... BOOM!
A friend of mine put a triple captain down on Aubameyang against us. Condolence messages were sent.
Both my Cheap and Normal team are looking decent. Nothing spectacular but holding their own. Not much I want to change about either of the sides apart from the obvious ones so far De Bruyne out last week and Richarlison out this week.
Need an update on Arnie though if he is out for a while might need to shift him out to.
Decided to throw Pedro in the team looking at Chelsea's fixtures a chance for a few goals.
Also for next season an interesting concept that a friend of a friend told me about.
-Aim to get the lowest points through out the season. (must have an even number of players however to do this)
-Essentially the aim is to get the lowest number of points. However the caveat is everyone is paired with another person where they will each select 4 players at the beginning of the season for the other person (a Goalkeeper / Defender / Midfielder / Striker)
-Now you may think "i'll just pick a bunch of players that never play" however keep in mind that if someone is selecting 4 players for you that are going on the bench, if you put down 4 players that never play then the subs will come in to get the points for them" so tactically you may need to pick some players who do actually play games but generally score low points to keep the big guys from coming in to hoover up points. !
EDIT: -Chips and Subs- (You can only make 1 sub btw, essentially the free transfer and it cannot be one of the 4 players selected for you, those must stay until the end of the season. However you can Wildcard everyone apart from the 4 players selected for you. Everyone's Triple Captain is activated and played on the very last game week for 'drama.' The Free hit Chip is basically the same as the Wildcard.)
So.... Thats my first 11 (conveniently ignoring the four player the other person picks for you). The most injury prone, sick note players in the Prem I can think of. A 'solid' spine of Hammer in the team too
Team Name: Made of Glass, Nurse!
Tom Heaton
Tyrone Mings Vincent Kompany Winston Reid
Jack Wilshere Adam Lallana Victor Wanyama Erik Lamela
Danny Welbeck Daniel Sturridge Andy Carroll
Tricky to chose between Carroll and Sturridge for Captain!
Or you could play a game where each week you have a different first 11 every GW. The only way to do that is to make loads of TFs every week ;wahoo ;barrera ;nolan ;poormf
