You are overthinking it a bit imo. Sterling is the obvious choice for a reason. Although personally I would have left it for the autochanges to happen in your situation as you need the manual changes to get a minimum of 36 points for it to be worthwhile.

Remember even having Sterling as (c) is something of a differential as a lot of people will be leaving capt on Aguero and others

you're mistaking me Kev haha. Silva was my captain yesterday. So am always going to change it to one of the Liverpool lads. And again to ADM if needs be tomorrow

Ah sorry, I thought you had it Costa.

Carry on so!

Pi$$ poor today really. 92 overnight but dropped 4 points after subs. Up to 99 now after Caulker, Taylor, Siggy and Sturridge playing. Will sub out Siggy for ADM and lose another 2. Hopefully ADM can get at least 3 so I get the ton up

i presume u mean sterling! i reckon you'll make the tonne. am on 108 - 105 after i sub out Lallana for ADM. happy with that. will more than likely keep the armband on Sterling (7x2)

Sorry, yep Sterling. 7 would be my treshold for keeping the capt as well. Especially this early in the season, its the safer boring approach but the risks can wait till later.

thats it. ADM is still quite low ownership, just having him will be good if he scores well tomorrow

8-10 · 19-10-2014 6:36pm

Forgot to change captain! D'oh!

Will have to be one of the United lads tomorrow then

KevIRL · 19-10-2014 7:15pm

Down to 10th overall

You've a decent chance with the squad you picked. My squad on the other hand is pretty crap, I'm happy/surprised I'm still be just outside the top 1000. Might do some loan moves for the craic to keep things interesting

Still plenty of time for things to change. Regarding my squad, I'm happy enough with it, although the lack of Soton attackers and Baines in defence is worrying. Have to keep on making the correct capt and fringe players decisions (Boyd and Jelavic scoring recently were a big help) and hope for the best till the Jan wildcard.

Will be avoiding loans unless injuries or suspension to a big hitter force my hand

Tadic and Pelle have only ~5% ownership so they shouldn't hurt you too much. Baines has 22% though so he's a danger.

Yea I wouldn't be taking any loans in your position either.

jimmii · 20-10-2014 10:39am

Loans are definitely very expensive can't see myself taking one unless something big happens. I would imagine there will be a good few loans made to bring in Aguero and Southampton players now.

manual_man · 20-10-2014 7:52pm

Totally forgot to sub ADM in just missed the deadline

manual_man · 20-10-2014 10:10pm

got out of jail with that a bit i think! just 2 points conceded by forgetting to sub in ADM. i may start setting alarms from now on!

KevIRL · 20-10-2014 10:11pm

102 in total for my second ton of the season. Wisdom and Berahino points tonight will hit the overall ranking a bit as well as any auto capt change to Aguero but hoping to be top 20 once the dust settles

manual_man · 20-10-2014 10:59pm

262nd for week. 290th overall. i'll take that. 12th for you Kev. flyin the flag

Nice one, things can change pretty quickly on Ultimate though, GW5 was massive for me, had a GW rank of 77. Onwards we go to the next GW....

Ah yeah its a marathon in the real sense, with all the mid-week choppin' n changin'. Be interesting to see how things go when we get our free transfers in January - i've already got a good few in mind i want to change!

KevIRL · 25-10-2014 9:04pm

25 points today and down to 34th overall

manual_man · 26-10-2014 2:23pm

26pts. Ade(C) ADM Fab Costa Ivan Krul to play. Zamora Green tomorrow if needed.

Hackers · 26-10-2014 2:26pm

25 yesterday, back to 19 now after subs. Hazard(c), Cahill, falcao & Naismith today.

Left Costa out altogether as thought he wouldn't feature.

Zamora and Hutton to come tomorrow night

manual_man · 26-10-2014 7:13pm

Ivan red cost me 7 points. ragin'. at least Ade capt worked out. 51pts with Bobby Zamora to go!

Dearg81 · 26-10-2014 8:28pm

Forgot to make my substitutions today 😢

Dearg81 · 27-10-2014 7:04pm

Caulker as captain tonight - the desperate gamble of a forgetful fool :P

Hackers · 27-10-2014 7:11pm

Captain tonight is Zamora, after the fails of aguero and hazard, not expecting much!!

Yea, I wasn't even hungover so no excuse. I was lucky in that it hasn't cost me too many points, I think I only lost out on ~ 10 points. Hazard, Eric "I only score in Europe" Lamela, Falcao and Costa all failed. Only Adebayor did well out of my subs.

same thing last week for me, remembered about subs literally a few mins after the deadline for the WBA-United game - so ADM and Wisdom left on my bench. Luckily didn't cost me too much. You'd nearly want to set yourself alarms :P

8-10 · 27-10-2014 7:48pm

Captain Hutton here!

He's not playing, not sure if you can switch it back now though.

TaytoCrisps · 27-10-2014 9:52pm

I was away for the weekend at a wedding and forgot to make any changes to my team . Aguero Captain with 0 points. Zamora was my only player left so put him in a captain. Hopefully he gets a goal as well as his assist.

140 points behind in the only paid league I'm in . In danger of loosing interest unless I get a good week soon.

TaytoCrisps · 27-10-2014 9:59pm

Last week I lost out on Aguero coming in a captain when I made chances so it it didn't default to my VC after my captain didn't play. This week One of my defenders didn't play and my 1st sub ivanovic wont come in with -1 because I made changes

a small victory

TaytoCrisps · 27-10-2014 10:54pm

Zamora 10 points as captain tonight it sweet considering I only had 21 up till then, shocking week !

manual_man · 27-10-2014 10:56pm

Yeowwwww Rob Green and Bobby Z get in

KevIRL · 28-10-2014 12:19am

47 points in the end. Dropped 9 places to 21st. Could have been a lot worse after saturday

Jumped 130 places to 159th. Delighted with that. Green(9) and Bobby Z(5) were a nice bonus tonight.

I finished on 49 points which was enough for a green arrow. There must have been a few forgetful idiots like me this week :pac:

KevIRL · 01-11-2014 6:15pm

35 points from today, expecting a serious fall in the rankings

jimmii · 01-11-2014 6:23pm

39 for me Foster was the only one who scored well for me today! Hoping all my MD2 players can come in and put in a decent showing!!

manual_man · 01-11-2014 7:00pm

46 points. krul my top points high scorer says it all. adebayor aguero and ADM my only players for tomorrow will sub in for moore(0) sterling(2) and costa(3), will also give one of them the armband (currently on Welbeck), so will be 36pts with 3 to play incl. captain

KevIRL · 01-11-2014 9:24pm

Ouch, down to 90th overall

manual_man · 02-11-2014 1:45pm

Kun or ADM for captain?

manual_man · 02-11-2014 2:07pm

feck it. gone for ADM. have a feeling United could put a few past City today

KevIRL · 02-11-2014 7:20pm

On 59 after today. Roswell the only player left but he will come in for Ade's zero points

KevIRL · 02-11-2014 8:28pm

Up to 39th from 90th

Whats everyone injury situation now? This week i'm carrying Debuchy, Jones, Kompany & Jelavic. I am loathe to use a couple of loans but a couple more injuries and i'll have to I think.

Have people been using the loan market much so far?

I used it once. Didn't pay off! Had Debuchy and Ramsey injured, and Cabella not playing, a lot of dead money so it was worth a shot!

Capt. On ADM today, not logged in but in around 300 position I think
