Guest Roger Kint Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 What?!?! Benteke if fit has to start for Villa. That was a mad decision. He is in for next week but with him having Chelsea and Arsenal away this week i stupidly thought Mourinho had watched football before. Turns out he hasnt as he started that fucking Torres yesterday the shithouse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Good first week for me so far. 61 with Silva and Zabaleta tonight and Hazard © on Wednesday (I assume). Shaw with 12 points sitting on the bench though. Damn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'm mystified as to why so many people got Lukaku on the basis he was going to start for Chelsea. Unless I've missed something very direct from Mourinho, there has been no indication he'd be ahead of Torres, at least to start with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I've got to say, I'm mystified as to why so many people have Lukaku and assumed he was a starter for Chelsea. Unless I've missed something very direct from Mourinho, there has been no indication he'd be ahead of Torres, at least to start with. Aye, it was always one to keep the powder dry on. Think he'll be a sub for at least the next month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 He had a really good pre-season, better than Torres and Ba. I was only ever having him for one week anyway, he's being upgraded to Sturridge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Don't get me wrong, he probably should be starting now. He just won't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpet Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 9th now with Hazard, Benteke, and Ivanovic to play again. fingers crossed for a top 4 finish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I've missed something very direct from Mourinho, there has been no indication he'd be ahead of Torres, at least to start with. Agree completely, i'm also of the belief he shouldn't be starting yet. His movement, touch and decision making is still extremely raw( say what you like about Torres shit finishing but he's good at this stuff), you can get away with that for West Brom but not for a side chasing the league.

angrypirate71 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Sitting top on 86 with Ramires©, Ivanovic, Lampard and Weimann to play tomorrow, possibility of a 3 figure gameweek. I'll probably "Pardew" it soon enough though, couldn't even get in the top 100 in last years N-O league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Did canny this week, second in my friends' league. Only players who didn't do well were Coutinho, and Fer and Azpilicueta who were surprise not-players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 80 points with Hazard © to play. If only Shaw was my 1st sub and not 2nd, I'd have very possibly been on for 100. Oh well. I'm fully expecting 30 points next GW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 61 with Hazard ©, Ivanovic & Lukaku left. Hoping to average 60 this season, so good start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 61 with Hazard ©, Ivanovic & Lukaku left. Hoping to average 60 this season, so good start. The way I see it is if you can aim for 2000 over the season, you've a good chance of winning medium-sized leagues. i.e. somewhere between 8-20 people. So going off that, 55-60 is a great average to aim for. Very hard to keep up, mind. I always have too many weekends where nothing happens to keep up such an average. Had some low, low scores last year, despite winning a couple of friends' leagues. I think I got under 20 one weekend. I wish Van Persie was banned from this game. I get it, he's mint, and fair play to those who've thought about the rest of their team. Can't lie though, it annoys me when I see some muppets I know not giving 2 shits about the rest of their team and having RVP bail them out every week.

Jack Flash Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Valuations are starting to change now. Barkley and Coleman both up 0.1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Not just saying this after his first game, but Coleman was always a steal. Starting player for us, going to be involved in plenty of attacks. Defender. 5m. Simple choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you couldn't double his points, you could make it more easily with others players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Such a grim start. Fuck knows why I actually went with Cisse and HBA ahead of Nolan and Bony like. It was so obviously going to be the wrong decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I guess so. Would be funny if he got injured (nothing too violent, just the world's worst cold which kept him out for a while - he doesn't like colds, you see), just to see the panic with some people about what to do. Come to think of it, it's not unlikely that this week will be my best gameweek of the entire season, barring a double gameweek for a number of players.

I tried to average 55 last year, fell a bit short (due to a midseason collapse!), but I think your projections about winning a medium size league are pretty accurate. You hate RVP in FF :lol: The challenge is to beat those RVP©-heavy teams with skill and bargains they won't know about until they're priced out of their range. My big pet peeve is when your "rare" finds/bargains begin to get duplicated in every team around you. That said, I don't really have many "unknowns" in my side atm, there are too many players who are big names who are a bit unmissable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
