MrsGrey

Right, done. Points spent ;sofa

Expat_Hammer

Can't believe I've waited this long to play my second wildcard

SuzanneClaret

Is it cause you is well hard?

Bazshuayi

respect any decisions youve made Mrs Grey and yes, you are a bit of an anti me However, I'd think that a chance to stay in the cup would be priority ( although if it was last season I'd agree with you as you were battling so high ). After all, before this GW started you were only 5 points better off than me ;nonono

Ironherb... If you stay in the cup this week I'll be more than happy to 'profile' ;lol

MrsGrey

baz ;ok

By anti I don't mean I'm against you ;whome

The season's not over yet! ;biggrin

Bazshuayi

I know exactly what you meant ;biggrin

Bazshuayi

Just had a look at the opponents team and they didnt use the 5M to take out Origi! and move in Ibra or Kane! Now thats a result (as per my expect analysis hehe) as I suspected he'd be benched today.

Expat_Hammer

This is a tight old cup game for me,
currently trailing 24 to 23,
He has one Chelsea player left to play, I have three Chelsea players and Heaton in goal for whoever tomorrow

MrsGrey

;nonono Currently leading 24-23.

;hmm

Expat_Hammer

Mrs G, unless you're also in the Thailand league I can safely assume we're not up against each other, and will not be until the final ;thumbsup

MrsGrey

;ok

My oppo is from Iraq.

It's quite exciting ;biggrin

IronHerb

That could be an Iceland moment

;lol

MrsGrey

;deadhorse

MrsGrey

I seem to have started a tradition of leaving the highest scoring defender on the bench ;doh

SuzanneClaret

;lol that's not good.

Bazshuayi

My joke (beginning with 'M') team ( that I converted with 15 transfers in one GW a fair few weeks back ), my step daughter and my girlfriend are all still in the cup. So I basically have 3 teams to poke my nose into ;biggrin It'll be ;wahoo if Expat and Mrs Grey + us all stay in as the weeks go by wondering if we'll get matched up ;nonono

Expat_Hammer

Managed to scrape through another round ;phew

Sorry Baz, but I've already got a date with Mrs G in the final ;biggrin

Hamstew

Just realised I'm second in the head to head league ;nonono

I think your ideal job would be one of those 'scouts' or advisers on the FF site(s) who takes questions from players on what they should do next.

Looking at the transfers I made, I accumulated a massive 1 extra point by 'buying' a transfer. And it wasn't even a crucial point. So now I only have 1 not 2 freebies for next week. ;doh

Bazshuayi

Id look at it from stance of is my team stronger/better for those 2 transfers Mrs Grey. Costa and Alli both scored for you ( Aguero got 2 and Allen got 1pt in comparison)

Costa's been scoring all season and Alli should've been in your team already ;whistle You have a stronger MF with him in it and Costas scoring more than Aguero is for 2.5M less.

So it could be worse ;biggrin ( another way of saying curb you Northern tight fisted transfer points gripes ;run )

On a completely different matter... That Jesus of Citeh looked tasty when he came on (9M though?) I'm not liking us playing against him and their other forwards next game ;hmm Fonte's baptism on home debut ;wahoo

MrsGrey

baz ;lol

Yes, ;thumbsup that's my thinking (as you know, I'm not keen on tweaking every week - I like to bring in players that think are good for a bit of a run of games, thus leaving me my free transfers to deal with the unexpected) and the added bonus is that Alli's price has just gone up again. Thus saving me a few Northern pennies. ;biggrin

Plus, Aguero would have had to been TF'd out next week anyway. (Can't take points if he scores against us. Makes me too sad.)

I think Hazard is next for the chop. Not enough VFM.

Bazshuayi

When I TF in, I also look at their run of games (then they get suspended, injured, go on strike, go AWOL, go go gadget etc). I also hate putting players in against us ( TFd Benteke out for that reason and because he stopped scoring which made it easier ) and agree Hazards not scoring enough points compared to his 10M+ price ( hence my comment on your team the other day ). I'm trying not to make any transfers as there's a decent gap between now and next GW ( I want rid of Allen and Ake but no funds unless like for like pricing e.g Holgate and Davies at Everton )

SuzanneClaret

I think I tweek too much then I log in here, find Baz's posts and feel a lot better ;lol

MrsGrey

baz ;thumbsup

I too look at the run of games, and when/if they are playing against us.

I'm wondering about GK to. I have Pickford, who is injured. I've been managing with just my other GK and prioritising outfield players. And now Pickford might be back sooner than expected.

But wll he get the jersey back straight away. ;hmm

I played my wildcard yesterday in a last ditch attempt to climb the table. I'm resigned to a poor season though. I'm 20th of 24 in my work league. I've been top 5 for the past 3 years so this is an unwelcome surprise tbh.

;weep

MrsGrey

;nonono

Desperate times, desperate measures!

Check the other people in your work league - have they used their other chips yet?

#toogoodtogodown

alderz

A few have. I've not used any of mine yet.

I'm too cautious when it comes to them!

MrsGrey

I usually find he Bench Boost the hardest - I never seem to have a fully fit squad. ;doh

alderz

I had one week last season where every player in my squad had a home game, so I played bench boost and almost everyone flopped lol
