    Have Walters as first sub and I don't think he'll get on unless Silva, Allen or Gutierrez don't play, the pain of Fantasy Football.....

    Saved my gameweek anyway, hope he gets the 3 bonus points and hopefully Yaya will get a point too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,389 ✭✭✭✭Liam O


    my VC for the last 2 gameweeks has been hazard who broke double figures each time and now this week Tevez does it. Really becoming tiresome, RVP better maul Southampton tomorrow.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 68,370 Mod ✭✭✭✭Grid.


    Thank you Tevez!!:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    Toure, Michu, Crouch and captain Tevez!! <3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 774 ✭✭✭stealinhorses


    Not doing too bad so far with 43, got some points on the board from Toure and Larsson (and Tevez captain).

    I might have to contemplate getting rid of Kompany though, City's defensive record has been awful even against the weaker teams. Getting someone like Ivanovic or Evra might pay off in the run-in before the wild card has to be used, and some money in the bank will allow me to shuffle around my midfield.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    49 points. Tevez as captain did the biz.

    Into the top 50 of the Boards league. Been a while since that's happened. Gonna enjoy it before the inevitable decline sets in. :pac:

    Thinking along the same lines with Kompany, not sure if he's worth the £7.5m. I already have Ivanovic and he's given back plenty in return. It's hard to pick another team who have demonstrated a really solid defense so far. May be better to just go with a cheaper defender and spend the extra money elsewhere in midfield. Might even be worth switching to Baines, although I have had a bad experience of owning Baines last season. If Everton can keep up the good form though, he's definitely another option. Going on today's performance though, that's a big 'if' :)

    48 pts today which isn't bad given I had to relegate my star players (Ivan, Hazard and Torres) to the bench along with Federici because of no games. Still have Kagawa and Clyne to play tomorrow. So, either hoping for no goals or Kagawa to rip them open :D Would have taken a lot less this week, thank you Capt. Tevez :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 460 ✭✭Ape X


    Thank you Tevez, Michu and Fletcher.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,907 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Bonus points not in yet right?

    Up to 7th in the boards league without using the wildcard yesterday even though I almost pulled the trigger!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Inspector Coptoor


    De Gea not starting.

    V strange

    Whats considered a good score this game week?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Inspector Coptoor

    I'd say 50


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,389 ✭✭✭✭Liam O

    If at the end of the season you average 50 you're in business. I finished averaging about 56-57 I think last year and finished 1,300 in the world and that was after a shambolic last 2 weeks where I'd forgotten to change my team with 2 FT for the double gameweek towards the end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,076 ✭✭✭Eathrin


    Michu is such a headache for me.
    Surely he can't keep this up?
    Each of Dyer, Hazard, Cazorla, Kagawa have done the business for me.
    Maybe I should sell Nasri for Michu?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,879 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    Have 82 with 7 off thee bench for a total of 89 when they kick in. Current top team is 87!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,772 ✭✭✭✭Paul Tergat


    Has the Reading Sunderland game been rearranged yet? I read Tues 18th September but Reading are only playing 2 days before this on the 16th. I want to bring in Jenkinson - looks good value but dunno whether to take out Harte (who may get a double gameweek in the next gw), Aaron Hughes or Figueroa. Thoughts?

    RVP and Tevez get the 3 bonus points each, nice 9 point bonus for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,449 ✭✭✭basillarkin


    I done two transfers for GW4, if i now decide to wildcard will i still be -4?

    From last year, it'll clear the negative balance if you wildcard.

    oh, my mate did 3 this week, used his wildcard after and said he took an 8 point hit :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭SteelyDanJalapeno


    I did it last week, it will clear the deductions


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,389 ✭✭✭✭Liam O


    just don't do what I did and change your team from one with both Dembele and Yaya in it for a couple of days during the week to Nasri and Dyer (who didn't do bad in fairness). Still wound up with 74 so a good week overall.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,036 ✭✭✭Sanity_Saviour


    If it makes anyone feel better I forgot to change my team this week, so went from 9,000th in the world to 585,683.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    75 points. RVP and Tevez did super for me. Into the top 15,000 of the world. :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Inspector Coptoor


    Dismal 45 with all my Chelsea players on the bench.

    Had Demel, Michu & Tevez but captained Kagawa.

    Played my wildcard.

    New team

    Foster
    Bertrand McCauley Jenkinson
    Michu Hazard Carzola Routledge
    RVP Tevez Torres

    Subs: Ruddy, Mertesacker, Guthrie, Demel

    Quite happy with that.

    Three solid weeks to start the season but I've a few duffers in my team so it could be a good time to play the wildcard. Really want Van Persie and Cazorla in the site but not sure how to afford both with Tevez, Hazard and Yaya already in there.

    Plenty of big decisions for people over the next fortnight no doubt.

    EDIT: Actually, it could happen with this team -

    Begovic
    Ruddy

    Jenkinson
    Shawcross
    Martin
    Reid
    Cole

    Michu
    Santi
    Yaya
    Taylor
    Hazard

    Van Persie
    Tevez
    Di Santo

    It'll max out my cash but Van Persie and Cole are both sellable if needs be. Thoughts?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    ^ I was in a similar predicament myself, and I just went for the wildcard. RVP and Carzola will be FF essentials. Even when Rooney comes back, RVP will be undroppable if he keeps this up. I initially brought Kagawa in with my wildcard on Saturday, but I think he might end up being a rotation risk so I swapped him for Carzola on the back of yesterday's performance. He will be central to everything Arsenal do.

    My wildcarded team doesn't look too dissimilar to yours, apart from the defence. I have Pienaar rather than Taylor in midfield, and Pogrebnyak instead of Di Santo up top. I sold Pog before he dropped and brought him back in at 4.9, I still believe he'll be one of the best cheap striker options in the game.

    GW1 - 65
    GW2 - 84
    GW3 - 65

    Happy enough with the start. Raging that I sold both Larsson and Podolski before the weekend for players who did nothing, but such is fantasy football.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,866 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Well I just played mine (trying to do well at the start so i dont lose interest as much as it goes on) as after a few weeks being saved by Hazard, Torres and Tevez (though I also got Cazorla in that week) and getting 60ish twice then 71 this week I realised I have a lot of guys who may not keep pulling their weight. Few guys that maybe could have been gotten with the money ive got (99.8m team & 0.7 in the bank after) but its still hard to know who will keep early season form going.

    Now: 3 4 3

    GK: Jaaskelainen

    Def: A. Cole, A. Ekotto, Gibbs

    Mid: Lennon, Cazorla, Hazard, Pienaar

    CF: Tevez, Torres, Crouch

    Subs: Davis (sou), Routledge (Swa), C. Clarke (Ast), G.Demel (WHU)

    im sure ill tinker with it a bit before the big break to the next game is over, any opinions?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,320 ✭✭✭v3ttel


    Green arrows. Excellent.

    I've got a lot of deadwood in my team that just don't seem to be performing as hoped though:
    • Lampard (dropped for one game, playing quite deep, but on pens, corners and some free kicks, probably not worth 8.9 for that)
    • Bale (looked poor so far with favourable fixtures, no goals, no assists)
    • Noble (hoped he would pick up assists from set pieces and goals from pens)
    • Graham (6 goals in pre-season, favourable fixtures, and on pens - only one goal despite Swansea scoring truck loads)

    I green arrowed to the front page, ten pts off top 20, happy enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,879 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    Beast of a week with 103 after BPs.
    Cant remember the last time i scored over the century! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,762 ✭✭✭bmcc10


    Not really educated on the fantasy football but if i was to join a league now do my points carry-over or do i start from scratch, Good score GW3 Chelsea players benched didn,t help doh!!

    Depends on the league (private league) if the points scoring started week 1 they can carry over.


  • Registered Users Posts: 429 ✭✭steveLFC24


    Shocking week and not so great last week. Non starters, poor performers etc. So its wildcard time. Fiddled around with it a bit (and prob will so again) but at the moment I'm happy enough.

    --Foster--

    --Mertesaker--Coloccini--Fabio--

    --Hazard--Michu--Dembele--Cazorla--

    --Torres--Van Persie--Long

    Subs: Reid (west ham), Hughes, Dyer, Al Habsi.

    Thinking of throwing in Tevez for Torres, but knowing my luck Torres will go and bang in a hattrick.

    Any suggestions?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,907 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Wildcard played, now to wait and see if Van Persie plays or else I'll be keeping Torres and Welbeck.

    Team for this week:

    Ruddy

    Jenkinson---Cole---Reid

    Yaya---Cazorla---Michu---Hazard

    Torres---Tevez---Welbeck

    Subs: Begovic, Shawcross, Taylor, Martin.

    If you're that high up why did you use your wildcard? I used mine last GW because my team was a shambles and had 2 average weeks (dropped Tevez for Giroud the last day before GW1 and dropped Rangel and Schwarzer to 4.5m equivalents to get greedy up front :mad:) which had to be fixed, you must have a pretty decent team to be up that high and to use it seems like a bit of a waste?

    exactly, i havent used mine and im topping all private leagues except in 2nd for the paid league, ive no rvp or hazard but im still holding off using it... i think alot of people have wasted theres just to get these players in and 1 or 2 others.. way too early to use it unless youve had a bad start and team is crap
