Nucasol Posted Sunday at 11:09 Share Posted Sunday at 11:09 Porro, Maddison and Jackson proving to be a game changer this week. Bow down to the Liverpool and NUFC players to make the bigger difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he’s being managed full stop. He’d arguably be playing much fewer minutes too if Richarlison, Odobert and Moore were fit…but they’re not, so he’ll still probably see at least 60mins in every Premier League game. You just have to make the decision of whether that’s worth it. It’s long overdue - Korea basically play him in every game and that’s an absolute ton of travel too. He’s still brilliant.

Yeah, input is allways great though. Difficult question, but do you expect Johnson and/or Maddison to match or get more g/a the coming games? Son is a difficult one for me to predict this season.

Some of it will depend upon whether Bentancur’s ban is upheld. I’d expect all three to be rotated somewhat. Maddison has the advantage of probably taking free kicks and pens if he’s on the pitch. Johnson will probably score more. I genuinely think it’s a toss-up between all three over the Xmas period. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted Sunday at 17:34 Share Posted Sunday at 17:34 Bottled doing a minus 8 to get Salah Isak and Joao Pedro. Only did the first 2 which has already paid off but JP would’ve been a fantastic hit already. The Champ is good at this game. Need to trust my gut more. Patience really worked out for me last season but I have to remember I actually liked my team which is why I could be patient. I need JP and Saka to be happy with my team. Then I can make small changes from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joao Pedro was a beyond obvious move this week and you're carrying on like you (nearly) scouted a kid from the U16s. I had him btw It's definitely not a beyond-obvious move this week for an -8 Bournemouth beat City and Arsenal at home and was the better team against us. I think their best games are to come. I wasn't convinced it was worth a further hit, and Isak against Wham is a better fixture than Bournemouth away. Maybe it's the obvious move with 3 FTs but not with 1. Worst rank in the last 3 seasons is 112k. That's enough to win most casual mini-leagues. I expect to do no worse than 250k in a game of 6m active players. I'm good at the game, sorry if that offends you pal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted Sunday at 22:59 Share Posted Sunday at 22:59 Binning Haaland next week to allow me to bring in Palmer and Isak in place of ESR and DCL. Decent run of fixtures for Chelsea coming up and that idiot is bound to do something against City, given he's too stupid to feel pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted Monday at 10:05 Share Posted Monday at 10:05 (edited) 10 hours ago, duo said: the game is 90% luck Like with every game based on a lot of randomness (poker for example), the higher the sample size, the more telling it is. You're supposed to maximize the odds in your favour, and pure luck usually evens out quite a lot over time. Monthly winner is mostly luck. The season winner is way more skill. Ofcourse you're also dependant on a bit of luck if you're competing against other highly skilled players, but luck by itself won't get you that far. The biggest luck factor must be the first few gameweeks, as those are very important. But here the best players does a lot of research before the season.

The College Dropout Posted Monday at 10:06 Share Posted Monday at 10:06 (edited) You lads take my posts too seriously and are easily rattled. While I’m the Champ, I’ll be referring to myself as such. The game has a large component of luck. But like real life, you often have to make your own luck. It’s more luck than random. Luck as in - increasing your own chances by picking players with good fixtures, underlying stats, ability, confidence. The Salah vs Haaland thing has had a big element of luck. Similar underlying statistics - wildly different outcomes. Edited Monday at 10:12 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure saying luck based game was the right term, that seemed like a contradiction, but I think everyone gets the point anyways haha. I really want Pedro myself, but I have Jackson, Isak and Cunha. Wondering if I should've just gone for Pedro over Jackson for the funds, but spending a transfer to get rid of an in form Jackson doesn't seem like a great idea. I suppose I'll just have to hope Pedro doesn't go crazy. If any of my strikers gets injured or I need the funds, I'll do the transfer later. Just sucks that his price will go up very fast.

I think Jackson is a good choice if your budget allows. That front 3 probably means you don’t /wont own all 3 Palmer, Saka and Salah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted Monday at 14:27 Share Posted Monday at 14:27 While people can say there is luck in this, the Haaland pricing has been bang on this year. He is the best player in the game, and is priced so high that if he doesnt perform you take a significant rank hit. He will get 4 in one game at some point and those who stuck with him will catch up again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That front 3 probably means you don’t /wont own all 3 Palmer, Saka and Salah. I do have all of those. Except I have Son instead of Saka. Unfortunately I have 0.0 in the bank, so I can't switch. Saka seems like the better option for sure, but I didn't consider this issue when I spent all my funds before the weekend. I realised it right after, before the gameweek even started. I'll probably roll and see if I still want to make the change after, then I can use 2 free subs for it. My defence is pretty cheap bar Raya and Gabriel, that's how I managed to afford it all.
