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.

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. 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. 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...

Dr Venkman 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. I had him on the bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly some jealousy from myself that I couldn't find a team I was happy with which included him. So very expensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Anyway, booted out Ivanovic for Vertonghen. Propa' norty defender, loves to come forward. Worth the extra half mil. Also need to phase out Chelskis before they have no GW fixtures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

angrypirate71 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Also need to phase out Chelskis before they have no GW fixtures. Aye, same problem here, need to lose 5 players for GW3. Already swapped Ramires for Barkley, got in before he went up 0.1. Lampard and another out next week and i'll be able to work round the other 2. Don't know how consistent Barkley will be but with WBA at home and Cardiff away I think he might be useful for a few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 60 with Ivanovic, Lukaku & Captain Hazard to play, so hoping for 80. Either Zabaleta for Ivanovic or Sturridge for Lukaku this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Something that killed me last season was transferring players at the wrong time, i.e. dropping a player who hasn't had a goal in 3 weeks for a super hot player, only for them to switch roles. So I'm not making any knee-jerk transfers this week. Think I'll have more success being patient and not springing for the hot hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Colossus Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Going on RTG to find out if Mannone should be playing next week. If not I'm putting Boruc in. This should be a larf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
