    That's my evening scuppered.

    I was gonna watch the match, but with no points at stake, how can I care how a game between City + Stoke plays out. ;doh

    Transferred out, ;wave

    Feel your pain I bought him for this double game round and made him captain...
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    That's what I did, but triple captain. ;doh

    ;thumbsup ;wahoo

    So I need an intellectual joke to cheer up Mrs Grey... ;hmm

    Before I think of one, I am still waiting for the first Libyan footballer to grace the Premier League. Then.... He will be my Tripoli Captain ;biggrin ;whistle ;run

    Partly I was hoping Sterling would net me decent haul of points so that I could afford to buy players for next week. As it is, I shall be putting out fewer than XI players.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Whilst I totally get bringing in Sane, Sterling, Silva, DeBruyne or Aguero for the double GW., I have to say that the first four names mentioned seem to get more assists than goals. So I would've found it tricky to pick one of them and decided on Aguero ( with the knowledge that I'd TF in Andy Carroll the next week, then see if he was still fit before I drafted back in one of the Costa and Kane big hitters the week after ) It's all Jesus's fault for getting injured! He was relatively cheap, scored and did great for 2 weeks before I had to TF for another injured player out ;whistle

    I couldn't afford Aguero. Had to choose between Sane + Sterling.

  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    I binned costa to afford Aguero. My other two TFs that week were with GW28 in mind as a sort of justification. 3 TFs this week (Aguero binned) mean I have a full team for it now ;lol Its nice to be above AVERAGE for the first time this season ;biggrin

    ohh and has anyone been kind enough to show Lanzinis Bikinis the league H2H table yet? ;wink
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    ;lol

    Courtesy of my loss in the H2H.

    I'm hoping to sign Ham up to the #hatePep club, as a result ;thumbsup

    At least City didn't get a win after Pep cost me a double captain...

    Did you forget, after playing your wildcard, to make Aguero captain? Or was it a conscious decision to put Sanchez as captain? (the difference between you beating AVERAGE and not)

    I put Aguero as captain. Trouble is I forgot to confirm it.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    I reckon a lot of us have done the same at least once ;doh
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Yep. Did it with Sanchez. 20 points I think I lost. ;doh
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    So, what are people's views on taking points hits to field a full XI?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    From the tears, I take it it wasn't an unalloyed success?

  • HamstewHamstew
    I took a 4pt hit just to get 8 players playing
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    ;hmm

    It's tricky.

    No point paying 4 points to transfer someone in knowing you will be paying another 4 points to get rid of them next week.
  • VorselaarhammerVorselaarhammer
    Bought a Bournemouth player in MF... ;run
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Won't be getting their clean sheet bonus then.
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    My 3 TFs cost me 8pts but I have a full 11 playing potentially ( 3-5-2 ) - TFs over the last couple of weeks were with that in mind.

    With respect to it costing 4 points to TF out next week ( like I'd care about that ;lol ).I have no need to make any wholesale changes. I plan to keep the 2 GKeepers, Mawson/Alonso/Baines - Mane/Barkley/Sigurdsson,/Snodgrass - Lukaku/Kane which is the majority of the team. I'll check on AC's fitness, most likely bin off Coutinho for Alli and get rid of one of the other 2 Defenders in a couple of weeks (probably for Rose). I have 4.7M spare, so I have plenty of scope for whoever I want to bring in :)

    You planned ahead well ;ok

    The players I really want to bring in for the next few games don't play this week, so I'd be transferring them out again next week. So unless they each got me more than 4 points, I'd be worse off.

    I think I might stick with just making one free transfer and put out less than a full team this week.

    Then rebuild next week. ;hmh

    Made one free (Olssen of Swans in for Chambers)

    Got about 8/11 playing. Bit the bullett and hope I can get up to somewhere around 40 points.

    I'd imagine a lot of people will have Mane, Lukaku and Sigurdsson (and everton defenders)... So the captain and whether the stereotypically brought in players do well will be crucial this week. I may have 11 potentially playing but the difference between that and 8 players could just be 3 or 4 points. So even I havent gone beyond 3 TFs. I need big AC to do well for my team and for our team! coyi

    Brunt + Snodgrass on the bench.

    Best laid plans of mice and men, hey, baz? ;nonono ;doh
