Mr. Incognito

84 points - mainly ronaldo / boswinga / ireland tho

Current team:
cech schwarzer
evra boswinga agger paintsil
ronaldo delap marney lampard ireland
zaki robinho bent

Thinking of
Reina schwarzer
aurelio boswinga agger paintsil
ronaldo delap marney lampard ireland
zaki anelka bent

You're swapping chelsea keeper and man utd defender to have three pool defenders?

I wouldn't. Pool concede you're toast in defence.

KevIRL

3 transfers made

Clichy > Bowsinga
Arteta > Kuyt
Torres > Anelka

Loco

evra hasn't been amazing, and utd have a tough run of away fixtures.

Cech may miss next weekend.

Anelka is grabbing all the goals lately.

Yes i would be exposed to Liverpool a bit much, but could transfer out aurelio in a week or two

nice transfers!

Kev_ps3

Had a good week, 85 points. Only thing that let me down was Cheh, Zaki and Carew didnt play. Anyone know if they will play next week?

Iago

Crap

73 points with 9 players. No Rooney or Zaki have to start checking team info on a Friday night.

My wifes team is over 100 points ahead of my team :eek:

Mr.Nice Guy

I've gotten rid of Zaki and brought in Robbie Keane. Even though he's not exactly shone thus far I really feel Keane will hit top form very soon and start pulling his weight. Liverpool's future fixtures look pretty good. I just hope Rafa the rotator doesn't mess things up for me.

Zaki.

Goals: 8
Minutes played: 1058

No competitor in starting forward role.

Back from injury next week as he's had a flu.

Keane:

Goals: 2
Minutes played: 855

Behind Torres as competitor in starting forward role.

Currently injured (shoulder) and out of Ireland game on Wednesday.

You sir, are mad.

My new sexy team. Shiny.

1: Reina

2: Bosingwa
3: Carragher
4: Vidic
5: Laursen
6: Cole A

7: Ronaldo(C)
8: Ireland
9: Geovanni
10: Lampard

11: Zaki

Mr.Nice Guy

Oh yeah definitely could be madness.

I'm not convinced Zaki can maintain form though whereas I feel Keane will find his form of old soon. Also I wouldn't suspect his injury (wink, wink) is anything too serious. I'm sure he'll be fit for Liverpool's next Premier League game along with a certain Mr Gerrard. I'm sure that's Rafa's doing.

Sherifu

Made a few changes;

1: Turnbull

2: Bosingwa
3: Carragher
4: Zayatte
5: Figueroa

6: Geovanni
7: Ronaldo
8: Delap
9: Lampard

10: Anelka
11: Torres

Team at tyhe moment is

Cech

Agger Turner A Traore (Baird,Figuroa)

Geovanni Ronnie Lamps Delap (Marney)

Zaki Defoe Torres

I was thinking to change Traore to Arbeloa and Torres to Anelka.

My thinking is that Torres is not going to get a full 90 mins for another few gameweeks and Traore is not guaranteed his place while Aleka is on fire and Arbeloa seems to like popping up with assist.

I could bring in Boswinga either but I would have to take out a Chelsea player or get a different forward than Anelka.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll have to try use my subs at the right time. Easier said than done in this game.

doonothing

How's she looking for next week?

No hideously obvious errors I hope! Not like fecking captain Rooney last week *grumbles*

I finally ditched Denilson this week. Has not done anything in weeks and fundamentally is a defensive midfielder. Traded him for Geovanni.

Also have Defoe and think he could be the next to go. I expect Pompey to struggle without Harry and don't think he will get enough chances.

doonothing

Aye, I was thinking the same, but it'll be a further 8 points to swap Defoe for Anelka and Denilson for Delap as I had planned! I dunno, worth it? Already spent 4 points getting Lampard

Loco

took the hit for anelka!

team is now:

reina

arbeloa
agger
boswinga

ronaldo
lampard
ireland
delap

zaki
bent
anelka

BFassassin

Would it be worth taking a 12 point hit for these changes?
* Dunne replaced by Carragher
* Ferdinand replaced by Hangeland
* Hamann replaced by Ashbee
* Defoe replaced by Anelka

Took the plunge early this week.


Jaaskelainen

Turner Agger Boswinga

Delap Lamps Ronnie Geovanni

Defoe Zaki Anelka

Transferred in Jaask for Cech,Anelka for Torres and Boswinga for Traore.

Opinions on the team?

I'd bring in Boswinga instead of Carragher as he is a more attacking player.Possibly keep Defoe,could be in for a big haul(he is due one.)

What is your team by the way?

Boswinga and Anelka will be going up tonight.

roryc

Ive my team just about where I want it now. Might not need any change next week...

Reina

Arbeloa
Bosingwa
Laursen
L.Young

Ronaldo (c)
Lampard
Ireland
Geovanni

Anelka
Zaki


Subs: Zayatte, Sidibe, O'Brien

I would like ideas on this.I transferred Cech for Jaask as he is a doubt but also that Jaask has been doing well in the fantasy game this year.Plus.The most agoalie can get is 10 points max whereas I think Agger and Boswinga are both capable of goals.

Jaask has 2 pretty easy game weeks coming up.(Middlesborough and Sunderland)

Plus.He is 1.6 million cheaper than Cech.:eek:

You guys think this was a bad move?

I currently have James but am thinking of bringing in Jaask this week really to free up some money to possibly bring in Agger, or maybe buy a better striker, currently have Bent and Zaki, brought in Boswinga last weekend hope he will continue to get points.

What do you plan on doing with the extra money?

Here is my current team.

and the team with changes although anelka has gone up in price like you said so I would need to make another change to afford him.

Looks like it's gonna be very hard to move up any league in the next while. Everybody seems to have the same team. Mainly Ronaldo, Anelka, Lampard, Geovani, Boswinga, Zaki.

But on the other side of the coin, if you don't have those players you'll more than likely move down the table.

It's taken a bit longer than normal for the teams to settle.

Loco

yeah everyone has te same base of players in their teams. makes it a bit boring! wish defensive midfielders were rewarded in this game

the only skill now is going to be picking captains!

Simple - Ronaldo practically every time apart from when Man U are playing a fellow big-four
They should price Ronaldo at minimum €20m next year - would make it a bit more interesting

Ah not really, there's still skill (and a heap of luck) involved with picking a team.

Henry used to cost 14m too. Only difference between the two players is that with Ronaldo being a midfielder you get so much more points with him scoring a goal. Maybe he should cost around the 15 or 16 mark. You could still pick a decent enough team around that but it'd level it off a bit.

thewools

Brought in Boltons - Gardner this week for the injured Alex, he is down as a defender but has been playing left wing lately. Looked lively when he came on Vs Liverpool.

He should regain a spot in the starting 11 Vs boro this weekend too hopefully..

Have almost 2mill to spare now - planning to bring back Adebayor the week after they play Chelsea... thats the plan!

Not many will bring him back I reckon so might help me somewhat :cool:

FutureGuy

Made 2 quick changes yesterday. Brought in Geovanni (when in Rome...) and Arbeloa. My team is now...

============= VDS ==============

Honestly, I'd give players bonues for choosing different captains each week. Either that, or I'd class Ronaldo as a striker.

Earthhorse

I still think the solution to the Ronaldo problem (or the Henry problem a few year's ago) is to give a multiple of only 1.5 to the captain. This essentially rewards team performance over an individual's performance, whereas currently too much bias is given toward the individual.

And yes, they need to find a way to reward defensive minded midfielders; maybe introduce a tackles stat similar to saves for goalies

I like the 1.5 idea

6: Ireland
7: Arteta
8: Geovanni
9: Anelka
10: Zaki
11: Bent

Had to take a 4-point hit to bring Anelka in but I reckon he'll score against Newcastle.

Warper

My team will look like this in 2 weeks:

Cech
Agger Boswinga Belhadj (Figueroa,Donk)
Ronaldo Ireland Delap Geovanni (Davies)
Anelka Torres Van Persie

Thinking of upgrading Turner to Laursen after the United game.

I'd get rid of Van Der Sar.You don't need a goalie at 6m who is going to be rotated.

Whats your team value? Not sure i wanna take some cash out of midfield/defence to upgrade a striker!

My team is

Reina
Agger Arbeloa Boswinga (McShane, Paintsil)
Ronaldo Ireland Delap Lampard (Marney)
Bent Zaki Anelka

Warper

Team value with the above team is 105.7m and im gonna keep .5m as cash for weekly rotations

I would got rid of Zaki and Lampard - Lampard is after an unbelievable start thus his price is now over-inflated and Deco is back in the team.
Plus how is someone supposed to gain ground when everyone has Lampard in midfield with everyone scoring the same weekly points - i hope everyone keeps him and i can watch my strikers bang in the goals.

NabyLadistheman

Im Stuck - Can't really see any changes. Want to get Valencia/Zaki out but don't know who to get in
Reina

Bosingwa Agger Steinsson

Delap Ronaldo Lampard Valencia Geovani

Defoe Zaki

Cunning on the Lampard thing - might use this especially given all of Chelsea's midfielders are nearly fit again. Also I cant see Chelsea continuing to score such big wins i.e I think they might be due a couple of one-nil wins as opposed to the five-nil ones which will cut down on Lampard's points.

Keep valencia/zaki in, everton @ home. Why have them in your team if you are gonna bin them for fixtures like that.

Frisbee

Here's how my team is looking this week:



Only just put Geovanni in for this weekend as Fab is injured (I know he's not getting the points like last season but I'm sure he's gonna come good... isnt he? )

Next week SWP will be out for Fab, then probably Deco out the week after as he's done sweet f*** all since coming back for injury.

i see that lamps and berbs are doubtful for the weekend

can someone give me a site that has up to date info as regards injured players and thats reliable?

thewools

noooo... If I were to believe that site then 3 of my players are doubts..

Lamps, Berbatov and Defoe :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Anyone got any updates regarding this trio?? :eek:

Could be in trouble this week

Not sure about Lampard but Defoe is set to start as Adams has said today he is only suffering from cramp. Berbatov's agent says he will miss the Villa game so it looks like he'll be out. Some reports have suggested he'll miss up to 3 games as it's some sort of thigh strain.

Heisenberg.

Mr. Incognito

Hmm,

Ronaldo had internationals in Brazil,

Lamps is injured- kinda hard to pick a captain this week.

I'm going to punt with Ronaldo just because it's a late kick off at 5.30. I'm tempted for Bosingwa though.

Loco

Could be a low score week with all these injuries / internationals / long haul flights during the week!

My bench sucks too!

Team for the weekend:

Reina
Boswina Agger Arbeloa
Ronaldo Lampard Ireland Delap
Anelka Zaki Bent

Schwarzer Marney McShane Paintsil

Will decide captain later!
