thanks ;biggrin I sneaked it really. Both of us didn't get anything serious so it was pretty much touch n go. So, like West Hams position, i'll enjoy it whilst it lasts ( hoping West Hams lasts til the end of the season! That'd be freaky!! ;wahoo coyi )
It seemed quite a low-scoring week. (Except for those who kept the faith with Kane!)
I'm going to get rid of Walcott ... and if ever I look like bringing him back, please feel free to ;fishslap and remind me that it NEVER works out. ;doh
I often look at the 'official' scout on the FF site.
This week, in the Surgery, he had 2 players seeking advice.
If they did what he suggested, they would have - got rid of Ighalo, Mata, Hazard (11 points), brought in Mitrovic, Mane and Sanchez (c) (6 points and a 1 match ban) and - got rid of Cahill and Siggurdsson (15 points) to bring in De Bruyne and Moreno (4 points).
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
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....
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
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
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

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

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