I though it worked like this;

You sell a player who is doing poorly and replace him with one who is doing well, the one who was doing poorly goes on to get many goals / make great saves / keeps clean sheets and the one who was doing well fractures his sock ;doh

MrsGrey

That's the traditional way, suz ;thumbsup

SuzanneClaret

Oh jolly good, I didn't want to be getting it wrong.

MrsGrey

;ok

I've been doing it that way for 3 years now, so I am always happy to help out the newbies. ;biggrin

SuzanneClaret

Thanks hun ;hug

Ironduke

a whooping score of 63pts arrested my slide downwards, mostly hanks to Kane and Kompany......wise move keeping Rooney on te bench..possibly time to transfer him out....

Bazshuayi

LOL! swapping poor form for good form and it reversing is basically the only thing you can rely on in the FF game! ( and no Greavesy, I dont wanna hear that 'its a funny old game'! ) ;hmm

SuzanneClaret

;biggrin

MrsGrey

To tinker, or not to tinker. That is the question. ;fence

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Done a couple......had to, running out of patience with some of my lot

;cool

MrsGrey

I can't decide whether or not to ditch Sakho.

Expat_Hammer

I've got him on the bench today. Nailed on hat trick then.

Ironduke

Its wrong to change a winning team.... ;doh

Expat_Hammer

I won't, once I get one that wins ;weep

SuzanneClaret

Its wrong to change a winning team.... ;doh

I wouldn't know ;lol

MrsGrey

My defenders are doing quite well in the clean sheet dept, and Mahrez scored 2. If only I'd made him captain ;doh

SuzanneClaret

I had a really bad day ;weep

Bazshuayi

Kolarov misses late penalty ( so instead of 8 points I get zero ). having less expensive players means I have 15 decent players instead of a lopsided squad reliant on pricey players. So someone has to go on the bench with some weeks it being a tricky decision. So I look at WBAs defensive record and think maybe Mahrez should be my benched MF (Mane Lamela and De Bruyne all at home and Payet at Watford ). I figured if I benched Payet he'd obviously score! So Mahrez scores more than all of them put together ;angry ;doh

So a bad day at the office for West Ham and the FF ;hmm

MrsGrey

baz - I hear you, re WBA. I benched Mahrez (also because he'd been a sub in the last few games). Fortunately, Sakho didn't play, so M will be subbed in ;phew

Expat_Hammer

Don't know how I done today, the website is just hanging at the mo

MrsGrey

It's been like that since before the early KO, expat. Very frustrating!

Expat_Hammer

Sakho didn't play, so M will be subbed in ;phew

Confused of Surrey ;puzzled
Sakho is a forward so won't your other forward come in in place of him rather than a midfielder ;hmm

MrsGrey

No. Your first in line from the bench comes in (effectively meaning I'll end up playing playing two forwards in a 3-5-2 formation). The only time your 'next in line' won't be subbed in automatically (no matter what their relative positions) is when you play 3 defenders and one doesn't play.

The game is set to require 3 defenders always, so if you start with 3 and one doesn't play, your first-in-line-bench-defender is subbed in ;ok

I always (usually) play 3, 4, 3 - so as to get all higher-scoring (in theory, anyway ;doh ) players on the pitch.

Expat_Hammer

Excellent, I have weaned the secrets of the league leader for my own nefarious means of gaining points ;lol

Thanks for the clarification ;thumbsup

MrsGrey

But can I be trusted?

;biggrin

Expat_Hammer

Austin, how dare you, you cad sir, you bounder ;fishslap

How could one possibly doubt Mrs G ;hmm

MrsGrey

But can I be trusted?

;biggrin

Nope.

;nonono

Calumny!


It's nail files at dawn, sir!

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

51 points not too unhappy with that and glad I left the Leicester midfielder in

MrsGrey

Ooh, suz - I've just realised that you're playing my Hairstyles XI in the H2H.

;sofa

MrsGrey

Ah, I had Kone playing up front.
