sbnufc Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Out of all the players in the tournament to take out you picked Neymar? Bold... Benzema v Nigeria Muller v Algeria Messi v Switzerland Neymar v Chile For me, Neymar is least likely to score considering the opponents. But hey, what do I know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I notice the pressure is getting to you Rich. You know what happens when you play it safe whilst you're ahead, don't you Pards..? I mean Huggs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I found myself in this situation towards the final 8 weeks of the PL season in a mini-league I had going with friends, a massive lead turned into me winning by 2 points courtesy of Paul Dummett's -2 for a red card in the final game after coming of the bench for the lad in second. With a 6 point gap I expect to be off the first page by the time this is done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I wasn't being completely serious anyway. There's going to be plenty of swings and roundabouts, especially in the later stages of the competition, even if everybody will pick more or less the same usual suspects at this stage. Simply who you captain for the final could make up a 30 point gap, let alone which team you back to win/keep a clean sheet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Pretty much changed my entire squad. I think five in total survived the cull. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Went back and tried to sort my team. Definitely not impressed I'll be happy if I'm still in the top 15 come the end of this round Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I don't know what strategy to take with my strikers. Origi (4.5), Musa (4.5) and Depay (4) are cracking options but they're too expensive for a 5th choice, yet not good enough for 4th. But will we even need 4? Hmmm, decision time.

Ketsbaia Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Ok, it's currently looking like this: GK: Julio Cesar, M'Bolhi DEF: Rojo, Howedes, Blind, Debuchy, Manolas, Halliche MID: Hazard, Kroos, Cabaye, Cuadrado, Bentaleb FOR: Messi, Neymar, Muller, Depay, Slimani 5.5m for a midfielder - Aranguiz, J Jones, De Bruyne, Gago or Herrera?

sbnufc Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I wouldnt bet on Debuchy starting btw. I really wanted a French defender, but none of them are nailed on, we'll only know on the night Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Difficult to predict which Germans bar Müller would garner good points, Ozil has been utterly abysmal for me despite his role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 With this scoring system the German keeper 3 defenders and lahm could get 50 points a game easy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'd back Algeria to score against them to be honest, but we'll see. Could be an inspired choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Will Neuer get that many points? How many shots is he going to face? 2 or 3? What else other than clean sheet will he get points for? I'm so tempted to stick Enyeama in He's only the highest scoring GK so far because he's had about 72 shots a game to deal with. Should be the same against France Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Saved another million by bringing in Djabou for Slimani. Algeria are on the last day so, if there's 1 striker spot up for grabs, Muller will obviously get it. No point having Slimani around, in that case.

Kaizero Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Am I right in thinking that the Pards photo has been bought and that if it's not selected as the booby price TayTay will have to keep it all to himself? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I could genuinely finish bottom here. Been an absolute disaster from the start. Admittedly just spiralled out of control after not checking after a couple of days, no excuses though when a signed photo of Alan Pardew could be my fate.

Guest TruToon94 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The Algerian players I chose to be bench warmers would have earned me far more points that the likes of players from Spain FFS. This is a weird but great World Cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
