Jayson 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. Got it in one. I wasted a lot of points last year 'saving' the joker...Players in form? Get them in asap. We all got a 2nd wildcard last year on week 2 anyway due to the site going down. If you wasted points you cant have been able to judge form to effectively after only the first weekend no? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 new to this fantasy stuff.. What makes a players value change? The players performance or amount of ownership? Transfers in/out. More transfers in>price goes up, more transfers out>price goes down. If you have the player, you can sell for the original price plus/minus half of the change. So if you bought for 10, they went up to 11, you sell for 10.5. This supposedly emulates a 'sell on fee'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Spurs fans: is Adebayor going straight into the starting XI? Dunno if he's match-fit.... I need to fit Kagawa in somehow but dont want to take out Yaya or Cabaye Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Damn, I'm already loaded with Chelsea players and now they're going to buy Moses. So, am I going to be allowed to have 4 Chelsea players or forced to sell? What if they buy another of my players and I go into a week with 5 Chelsea players, would I then be forced to make two transfers and take the 4 point penalty?

Village Idiot Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Sahin for Liverpool... dunno what price they will hit him with (wild guess is around 8m), but do you reckon there's decent FF potential in him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you already have Moses and he goes to Chelsea, you can have four Chelsea players in your squad. But next time you make transfers you won't be able to confirm them unless you've gone back to 3 maximum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it not force you to change it when you go to make a transfer? Think it used to stop you from continuing a few years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Not using wildcard yet but just experimented with a new team and it looks brilliant. Feel guilty for doing this after his haul last week but I might bring in Ricky Lambert for Petric. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
