WHU606 Premier League Fantasy Football for 2017-18

MrsGrey

Well, I'm bottom, so I get 1st pick.

Wonder what MF you have your eye on? ;hmm

Bazshuayi

I put Ritchie on the out transactions for Shaquiri (he gets injured a lot so I thought I'd bring him in just before the inevitable happens and then I can TF him out again ;wahoo ) I wasnt fussed whether it happened or not and it may have been purely done on a reaction basis because I dont like a MF in my team that cant score or assist vs Brighton!

MunichHammer

Blast it! Aguero has been ruled out of the next two months after a car crash. Now do I sell him or not,

Bazshuayi

I heard Carlton Cole was free Adam? ;wink

Strikers aren't easy to get your hands on in draft. However, there are a few decent defenders that are free (you just got rid of one of them)

OutcastLondoner

I remembered to do my team this week ;woohoo (not the draft transactions though)

Tripled Captained Lukaku so wonder if his streak will end now.

Bazshuayi

Wonders if anyone would ever ask me 'do I sell him or not' ;hmm

Ironically, I cant sell Aguero (who I believe I only brought in last week!) until next GW as I cant access him because of a chip I've played

OutcastLondoner

Aguero might not be out that long. Could be back after international break

Bazshuayi

yes, sky say potentially 2-4 weeks... 1 week is too much for me to wait when there are so many other Bazfer opportunities ;wahoo

MrsGrey

2-4 weeks for a broken rib? ;nonono

When grey fractured his ribs it took that long for him to be able to get out of bed without help!

Bazshuayi

My friend Jen cracked a rib several weeks ago (number 8 I think). The last time I spoke to her she said she wouldnt be fit to play for Man City for a little bit longer ;whistle

IronHerb

My only advice for broken or damaged ribs is DO NOT SNEEZE.
It don't half hurt ;weep

MrsGrey

Morata ;doh Only brought him in last week.

Meanwhile I gave the armband to Bailly in my cheap team.

It's a gift I have.
;yercoat

Bazshuayi

I transferred Morata in as soon as the GW started ( my free hit chip prohibited access before that) so he hasnt even played for me before being injured. So I am thinking its my fault ;hmm Hopefully, as it was caught before being serious, the international break will see him recover or just miss one game.

MunichHammer

Fe Bruyne ruined my draft team and Sakho's goal cost me 4 points in both my teams. Regardless, I am fairly happy, my strikers scored another 3 goals, I only wish Lukaku had scored one or two more, as I have him captained.

Onwards and upwards, waiting for the bubble to burst

MrsGrey

I've just binned Morata - can't take the risk on him not recovering, plus I'm sure his price will drop and I need to keep my squad value up.

#earlytransfers


Edit: baz, I've just re-read your post, and understood it. ;nonono My #earlytransfer looks decidedly tardy now ;lol

Munich: Where do I get one of these bubbles?

SuzanneClaret

I've had Morata for ages and he's scored me a nice amount of points.

Can those that broke Agrero then swapped him for Morata then broke Morata please stay away from Kane and Lookarkoo.

Thank you.

MrsGrey

Lacazette ;weep

SuzanneClaret

Oh no, what's happened to him?

MrsGrey

Failed to score ;angry

Expat_Hammer

This FF voodoo doll set from eBay is proving priceless ;lol

1. Guilty in terms of Aguero and Morata
2. Already have Kane and Lulu ;wink

I've just bought Aguero - start selling off now ;lol

Well done Burnley. Two defenders, clean sheets, one assist. 4 bonus points

=> 19 points for two players

MrsGrey

The wildcard moment can't be put off for much longer.

Yeoldhammer

aye i'm wildcarding after internationals. did a bit of playing around and found a nice mix of top 6 players only, that i can get into a 4-4-2 that have a nice set of points between them already so hoping for the same going forward.

MrsGrey

Morata 4-6 weeks, according to reports. Spain did a scan that revealed a grade 2 hamstring injury.

Yeoldhammer

Should have probably took the plunge and wildcarded earlier, for some reason (despite no PL games being played) the value of the team I had beforehand that I was going to wildcard on has increased by 0.6m combined which means I have to facilitate changes elsewhere...) seems a bit weird the PL fantasy would update the prices on some players TWICE since the last round of PL games.

MrsGrey

I've been puzzling over how they do the price changes ... I think there's just an algorithm that gets triggered and then does it automatically. ;hmm

Or, they do it twice because there were 2 rounds of international games and players got crocked at both stages (which usually means managers transfer them out and trigger a price drop. And vice versa for replacements transferred in. ) ;puzzled

OutcastLondoner

This suggests it happens at a fixed time, so you're probably right Mrs Grey.

And here's a bonus, there's a price predictor tool if you want to get really geeky http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk

MrsGrey Coutinho was 8.8m I think before game week 7 ? after he went up to 8.9 and now he is at 9.0m ?
