    Trippier injured ;doh My no1 defender. I'm doomed I tell ye!
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I have him too but I'm holding on until the last minute to decide if I'm keeping him or not.

    Have tinkered with midfield and the strikers though.

    I debated holding on but after reading he left the stadium on crutches I decided to transfer him out today. The problem is with the budget trying to find a player for the same or close money thats as good as him. I've weakened my GKs because of it but I guess I can TF him back in if anything changes or wait until he returns from injury ;hmm

    Had to remove Lallana after being ruled out for 3 months and brought in Fabregas.

    Slightly risky, in the sense he may not play every week, but for £7m and when you consider the assists he racks up (takes all set-plays and penalties too), as well as the odd goal, I think that price is too good to turn down.

    I've got Willian at the mo, but am thinking of swapping him for Pedro....

    I'm wondering where Chelsea's goals are going to come from.

    Yeah got Willian, Fabregas and Cahill, but feel Chelsea will struggle this season. So may have to tweak it. Can't see Morata getting enough goals.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    They've only got a senior squad of 21 (20 if you discount Costa), which won't be enough, imo.

    I've swapped him out for Kolasinac.

    **FPL Draft Reminder**

    Deadline is Friday evening 6.45pm (UK time).

    Anybody else interested?

    So far, it's just me and Munich ;tumbleweed

    What is it ?
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    It's a parallel FF game, expat. You have a squad of players + they score points for your team in the usual way.

    The difference is in how you build your squad and make transfers. You play in a league, and each manager takes it in turns to sign a one player at a time. There is no budgetary limit, but once a player has been 'drafted' into a team, they are unavailable to the other managers.

    My son would like to know if he can join the league, I'm sure I read something about relatives taking part but not sure where. Can anyone help as to whether this is permitted ? Thank you.

    He's allowed unless he's top at Xmas.

    Then he will be expelled.

    You would be very lucky to get a drink of water out of him, takes after his dad.

    Ace, as far as I'm concerned, he is very welcome ;ok

    (I alluded to it somewhere earlier in the thread, I think. My concern that we keep it a 'private' league is to ensure it is for 606 members and family/friends - as long as you haven't been banned from the site.)

    Thank you Mrs Grey.

    Welcome young Ace ;ok

    I did a spreadsheet yesterday looking at the difficulty ratings (on the fantasy site) of each side's first 5 fixtures, and tried to get players from those with "easier" starts where possible.

    Huddersfield apparently have the easiest start (Palace (A), Newcastle (H), Southampton (H), WHU (A), Leicester (H)), and West Brom have a decent one too (Bournemouth (H), Burnley (A), Stoke (H), Brighton (A), WHU (H)).

    ;ok

    I'm at a loss when it comes to the newly promoted teams.

    I need one or two of them (on account of their cheapness) but know nothing about them.

    Early on, I had Yedlin, but he's injured.

    I;m reasonably happy with my first XI now (famous last words ;doh ;lol ) but need to tinker with my subs (and all for £2.50 and a packet of polo mints).
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    Sounds like someone isn't adhering to the fantasy F.F.P. rules if you have that much left to spend. Illegal Polo advertising money? ;wink
