South-Cheshire-Toon

Need Gunners not to concede, Timber to score a shed full, and Gabriel and Jesus not to play/score - that way I'll be in the next round of the cup.

Pity they got someone else in so soon - Amorin should have asked for a 'probation' period - he'd have been back there by now or is he waiting for the summer - send Manure down and then leave an already well sinking ship. You know what - I'd do it just to piss Sir Jim Ratcliffe off big time - fucking loser - football is a business - but not like any other - you can't come in - cut costs, raise prices and expect everything to be rosy. That other bidder, the arab one - bet they are laughing on the other side of their faces after seeing this debacle carrying on.

Sky Sports News - the best place for him - fat bastard.

I don't normally follow these threads, but it seems to be me that since there was a crappy story in the Daily Shite, sorry, Mail, about team unrest and the Saudis not having the ability to spend money and their dreams being blown away in the drifting sand, there seems to have been a lot more of a team dynamic and 'togetherness' - Yeah shit on the mail any time of day for me. Right wing bull shit factory.

Aggrieved that Woods starts to perform as soon as I drop him - but got TAA in - so happy on that front. Now need to look at doing some dealings in order to get Haaland back by MW28. It might mean the end of Palmer - doesn't seem to be firing on all cylinders at present.

Ah damn, took hall out as certain manure will score - and murillo was dropped.

When do auto transfers take place after each game day or after all games have been played in that game week ?

I always kept making a transfer so couldn't use it.

@Decky I was just looking at this - and i think the next game will decide his fate - as they are away at Oxford (who are sinking like a stone as well from what I can see) - so if they don't win (Argyle) then I think he'll be shown the door. What a lovely new year present that would be.

Am I reading this right - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cgm9evp4177o Surely the board must be backing him in the long term - or are there factions - each trying to get the better of the other - as if he thinks he's up for the chop - then that's another 30m gone down the pan. 15m for paying him off and 15m for the next idiot. If it were me - i'd have someone at that press conf - and draw a line under those types of questions - as it does him or the team no good. It's not like I'm wanting them to succeed - oh no - far from it - but it just the timing as he hasn't been given that long. For me - I'd put the whole squad up for sale and get rid of the overpaid wasters - then start again from scratch - like City did when they went down.

Gameweek 19 - deadline Sunday 29th December 2024 @ 14.30 Leicester 1 v 4 Man City Palace 2 v 0 Southampton Everton 2 v 2 Forest Fulham 2 v 1 Bournemouth Spurs 2 v 2 Wolves West Ham 0 v 3 Liverpool Villa 2 v 1 Brighton Ipswich 0 v 3 Chelsea Man United 0 v 3 Newcastle Brentford 1 v 2 Arsenal Gameweek 20 - deadline Saturday 4th January 2025 @ 12.30 Spurs 1 v 2 Newcastle Villa 3 v 0 Leicester Bournemouth 2 v 1 Everton Palace 2 v 2 Chelsea Man City 3 v 0 West Ham Southampton 2 v 1 Brentford Brighton 1 v 2 Arsenal Fulham 2 v 0 Ipswich Liverpool 5 v 0 Man United Wolves 1 v 2 Forest

79 points so far - highest in the league yet drop one place to still be bottom as I think someone with more points has joined in.

I think it might be a case of watching and waiting (but to move quickly) as with all new manager changes - the players want to seem to be 'impressive' so want to play - as otherwise in 8 or 9 days time they may be out of the club whether they like it or not. I mean just look at the Wolves performance and also So'ton's - lose the manager and the temp gets the team playing better.

My front line hasn't been great - so took the opportunity to have a shake up - brought isak and cunha in, dropped Saka - and got Sarr - also dropped Wissa. and have money in the bank for GW24 if needed.

And the bottom -

The Top 10 -

I've never really been into this FPL stuff - only used it for the other footy comp to see who was playing who - so apols for all of the daft questions - so here's the next one - With regard to the rating of the teams - I'm taking it that this is a variable number - so going on either / both a teams position in the league and there performance then their rating will change - as it's interesting to see that only Liverpool and Arsenal are currently 5, with Man Shitty dropping to 4, and even with their high placings - Bournemouth, Fulham, Forest etc are only 3's. Made a bold approach - dropped Saka - think he's going to be out for a few weeks - but with no decision being made until the last minute - and I don't have access that way over the next few days - dropped him, got Isak and Murphy in place, and still have some money left over for the manager buying thing later. Fast approaching not being bottom of the league, it's now only a matter of time as I can see several people aren't playing (ie not doing it regularly - if at all) - so the only way is up. Here's are next 10 fixtures FWIW.

Man City 3-0 Everton Bournemouth 2-1 Palace Chelsea 2-1 Fulham Newcastle 2-1 Villa Forest 2-1 Spurs Southampton 2-1 West Ham Wolves 2-2 Man United Liverpool 4-0 Leicester Brighton 2-2 Brentford Arsenal 3-0 Ipswich

Thx, just planning on when to do it - there's a window coming up soon where all the 'good' teams are playing at home against all of the 'shite' teams - but i need Haaaaarrrrrrland to get his shooting boots on before I commit.

I take it that using the 'free hit' card you have to keep to the same rules - no more than 3 players etc, no more than 100m total ?

Gameweek 17 Villa 2-2 Man City Brentford 3-2 Forest Ipswich 1-3 Newcastle West Ham 1-1 Brighton Palace 1-2 Arsenal Everton 0-3 Chelsea Fulham 3-1 Southampton Leicester 2-2 Wolves Man United 3-1 Bournemouth Spurs 1-3 Liverpool

I think most people will be in this boat - I think I am. Just checked - 16 14 (can't count) so far - I think with tonights game to come.

So the most a mgr will be is 1.5m, and with a bit of wheeler dealing over the next few weeks I'll be able to get that - plus as going for Slot - only have two pool players.

Was just about to post as to how you get someone on to your watchlist - but then found it - what a stupid place to put it - you'd think it's would be where you get the option to add the player and see their info.
