South-Cheshire-Toon Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 The issue is, as I see it, you need consistent players - and at present some of these players aren't consistent - so one minute you don't have them - play well - you buy them in - perform shite - then sell - they score 3. You can't win half the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't win half the time. If you plan well you shouldn't really be selling players going into a strong fixture. If someone scores a brace against Liverpool or a tough away game fair enough. My plan is to load on pen takers, set piece takers and talismen vs weaker teams and that does me pretty well. Also don't do anything stupid with your captain, premium players only as captain. For me I would only captain Salah and Haaland, then Palmer if he's at home. Noone else has the ceiling those guys do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Of course Isak reverts to early season dickhead mode soon as I captain him. Fucking sick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Should have guessed Spurs would do the Spursiest thing ever and follow up their home defeat to Ipswich with a hammering of City at the Etihad.

I didn't have Haaland, I was just 0.2 short of swapping Son into Saka, and didn't want to take a hit. Ofcourse Saka has the gw of his life..

Erikse Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 Ait Nouri feels kind of like Lewis. Never clean sheet, doesn't get the attacking returns atm... Are they playing him at CB? Seems odd to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty decent. Who did you cap? My entire GW was destroyed by my decision to just wait 1 more GW to bring in Saka.. Not sure about Ait Nouri yet, they're using him as a CB in the worst defence in the league by far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 Need to be more aggressive. Didn’t take the -8 point hit I was considering. Which would’ve paid off. Will get there mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 Captained Salah. Don't have Saka but need to get him back in. I put Ait Nouri in a few games back at the start of Wolves' better run of games, and he'd scored a few earlier in the season too. Safe to say he's done fuck all since I've had him. But Konate was out and Akanji was behind A-N on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once to get Salah in his mega haul (got him on a FT the next week) and now not going Son > Saka last week has done me out of 16 points . Infuriating, all were planned but I didn't want to risk the 4 points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually earned lots of points the last few weeks by taking hits, but I startet second guessing whether it would really continue, and felt like I had just been a bit lucky with the other hits. I guess you should never change a winning tactic. Edited December 2 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 I’ve had a good idea of what my team should look like for a number of weeks now. Not getting there fast enough has cost me more points than the hits i would’ve taken. And now I see new problems beginning to open up. So I have to take some hits anyway. The. Move from position of strength. Isak is a big issue. If he’s not fit I probably hit him out (for Jackson) and I have a super strong attacking 8 (but can only choose 7). If he’s fit, I keep him, I think he has a good record against Liverpool if memory serves. Swap a good asset in midfield (Mbeumo) for a better one (Saka). Upgrade midfield later for free. Jackson has good fixtures for the long term so don’t mind the hit. I must say - we’ve not been scoring. So maybe Isak out is the common sense move. Isak of last season was a brace magnet but this season he’s only really scoring tap ins with regularity and single goals. But he has a good record against Liverpool and the next 4 are excellent fixtures. What do you lot think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm keeping Hall as we have the odd clean sheet here and there, and were minutes away from another one last game (although to be fair they should've scored earlier). Idk, I just feel like we're going to keep a few clean sheets and he might get an attacking return some day. He's cheap. Other cheap defenders aren't any better anyways.

The College Dropout Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 (edited) 18 hours ago, duo said: I fancy Isak to come good against Liverpool - he'll get more space Folks I can either do: Mbeumo out for Saka. Start Isak. - If he misses out I've got Dalot off the bench which is weak. - we are a bad attack. But historically (as in last 2 seasons) a good attack. - I don't trust our attack against Leicester or Ipswich who will sit back and defend. - Losing Mbeumo ahead of a good fixture +Great fixtures the next 4 +Isak fixtures pretty good well into Feb. + Gives me funds for any defender (likely TAA/VVD/Konate/Gomez) going forward. + Isak to play 70 minutes each game minimum if fit + Isak on penalties + no hit. Can do Isak out for Jackson, Dibling out for Saka (-4). +Gives me 8 strong attackers heading into the busy period + Chelsea a good attack + Good fixtures for a long time to come (March) + good minutes - Benching nightmares - Decent short-term fixtures. - Jackson 1 yellow from a suspension - coming in for a hit - Not on penalties - Can't afford premium Liverpool defender but could get any VVD partner My mantra is choosing good players from good teams. I don't know if we are a good team. I've doubted them but Chelsea seem a good team. Jackson feels a safer bet for as long as I want him. Isak and us as a team could stink it out. What do you think?

The College Dropout Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 (edited) Turns out I have to sell Mbeumo anyway. It was Rogers I could move on but price rises have taken me out. Edited December 3 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 Second one. Isak isn't a great fantasy asset in this team. Saka is a must. Jackson could easily bag 3 tonight even if he gets suspended its fine. Isak - likely 2 pointer, 6 at best Jackson - min 6 pointer, max of 18? I've took a big swing this week, Trent in for Aina, Eze in for Mbeumo. High risk, I'm having a good season but want to secure a top 50k finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
