oldtype Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 All of my players had no goals and no assists for week one, but Pog, Guthrie, and Torres all scored last night. Went from something like 20 points to a relatively healthy 58 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 71 points. Meh. Have subbed in Barfa for McAnuff, not sure who my last change will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Lost the head to head with Ketsbaia due to that disgraceful bonus points fuckup last night Think i will transfer out Ramires for a more goalscoring midfielder. Nolan/Michu or something depending on the next few games. try and build some cash to swap out Pogrebnyak too later. Edit: Brought in Michu for AOC seeing as they are home this week. Just need to work on Ramires/De Guzman/Pog to ease out now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 64 points for the week, I was so close to picking Hazard as my captain instead of Torres which would have given me an additional 12 points and if Heitinga didn't come on for a minute Dyer would have come off my bench and given me an additional 15 points All ifs and buts like.

stozo Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Not sure whether to play my wildcard this week or next. I've go three players with no game in week 3 (2 Reading + 1 Chelsea) so will have to change before that. Would rather hang on another week and see how season develops but I've got Aguero (injured), Sinclair (probably won't play) and Lucas (picks up bookings + is up against Man City) all in my team who I'd like to get rid of.

Village Idiot Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm astounded to see so many people playing their WC so early, the other group I play this with a bunch of people used it already too I mean, it's been just one week and it's too early to judge player form, the window isn't even closed so a bunch of interesting players might still come next week...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Using the wildcard before half way is very risky. I mean, you need to have made a serious hash of your initial selections if it's beneficial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quicker you play it the better. You're losing points over the next 4-5 weeks while you rejig the side gradually. No point. With Spurs at home and annoyed at the loss last week 3 Spurs players was a must (Adebayor transfer as well). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 One of my regrets from last season was playing the wildcard too early - think it was early October. Hoping to save it for the second half of the season, maybe another double gameweek. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, exploiting double gameweeks is a good use for a WC, particularly around Jan-Feb when you can stack it up with the Jan wildcard. I just don't believe you can judge your *entire* team selection so early into the season. Or that you have enough information to pick the best replacements for them either.

Jayson Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Yeah its to early, everyone forms can change & stronger players may come to the front. WC's can also be worth loads on Doubles like last night, Haz & Ivan got 45 on their own & thats only 2 players. Doubt many sides are costing anyone that atm let alone 6-12 changes.

BlueStar Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Using the wildcard before half way is very risky. I mean, you need to have made a serious hash of your initial selections if it's beneficial. There are benefits. I mean, look at it this way - use your wildcard in the last week and you only get the benefit of it for one week. Use it two weeks before the end and you get the benefit for two weeks etc. Plus, the players whoa er in form now are going to start getting more expensive. The players who are going to get bored and stop playing after a few months are going to be making their only trasnfers of the game. Players like Michu and Petric are going to have some of the sharpest price increases we'll see all season. If you get these kind of players in now, you're going to end up with more money than your rivals by the midpoitn of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Already used my wildcard. I had 3 Chelsea and 3 Reading players, and got a lot of points because of it this week, but it was always my intention to use it early to get rid of them, and pick up players who looked impressive early on. Hazard, Jaaskelainen and Cisse are the only players I've actually kept from week 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
