Can those that broke Agrero then swapped him for Morata then broke Morata please stay away from Kane and Lookarkoo.
Thank you.
Message ends.
2. Already have Kane and Lulu ;wink
=> 19 points for two players
Or, they do it twice because there were 2 rounds of international games and players got crocked at both stages (which usually means managers transfer them out and trigger a price drop. And vice versa for replacements transferred in. ) ;puzzled

And here's a bonus, there's a price predictor tool if you want to get really geeky http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk
The 2 drivers would probably have been his goal in GW 7,( -> buy buy buy -> price hike) and then Mane's injury a couple of days ago on int. duty (so many would have ditched him and brought in Coutinho)?
Is my theory. (haen't had time to look at the links outcast posted yet...)
Got in Elliot from Newcastle since he is actually playing instead of Speroni with Lloris as first choice, this will enable me to play my bench boost in the future to try and secure maximum points from my bench where all my players at some point could feature.
Lloris
Stones Otamendi Jones Trippier
Kante Coutinho Mikhatryian David Silva
Lukaku Kane
Coquelin / Lowton / Quaner / Elliot - on the bench
Think that is a solid all round squad that will net me a decent haul
The free hit zoomed me up the league from 20th+ to 3rd so a great week for me.
Happy days etc etc....
34 minutes into the game and Morata is injured and I'd already used my one free TF to bring him in.
So I waited and waited for injury news and the international break to be over. Trying to be sensible and not TF anyone else who'd subsequently get injured on international duty wasnt easy for me
But I still waited (and waited)...
I saw Jesus's price go up (the obvious one for one with Morata swap just incurring a 4pt penalty)
But I still waited (and waited)...
I saw the Kolasinac and Atsu injury updates on my team alongside Morata
But I still waited (and waited)...
I wondered whether to now take out Kolasinac and bring in a Man City or Chelsea defender.
I pondered whether to bring in Silva, Sterling or Sane.
I wondered could I do without a Spurs defender after having 2 last week
Should I bring in a newly fit Hazard
But I still waited (and waited)...
I saw Jesus's price go up again and then Sterlings...
And you guessed it, I still waited (and waited)...
My main aim was always to consolidate. I'd recovered from a less than average start to sit 3rd in the league ( a position I took all season but for 2 GWs to achieve last year). So the sensible thing was just to swap out Morata for Jesus and take the 4 point hit. Even Aguero's quick return from injury didnt bother me as I figured he'd just be on the bench rather than risked.
So I had waited and waited until 10pm UK time on a friday sitting there with my sensible, analytical hat on even contemplating leaving Morata in the side. I looked at my midfield which had been weakened by having Lukaku, Kane and Aguero in the team and thought that I had to get in another striker. I even thought that maybe Batshuayi could be a short term solution and, again, just a 4pt penalty.
The need to go and do some work made me realize it was now or never for some decision making after putting it off all week.
Maybe if I just brought a cheaper striker in and maybe another quality midfielder the squad would look more balanced ;hmm
Even a bad week surely wouldnt see me tumble down the league too far, would it? I could always bring Morata back in and regroup the week after?
So... I waited a bit longer. I knew the washing up needed to be done so that was an excuse to ponder more...
So I waited a bit longer...
Ooh... You want the short version?
I did the washing up, sat down at my PC, changed a defender, changed a striker, changed a midfielder, changed another midfielder, changed another defender and clicked the confirm button for a total of 6 transfers this week ;wahoo
But at least I waited and pondered, right ;puzzled
This year, so far, I have constantly played a 433, changing to a 532 when Agüero got injured.
I have made a total of 2 transfers all season so far and it seems to be paying off having a stable team. I know I could have something like 100 points more had I been luckier with my team selection and my captain but sometimes you just have players on the bench who score 10 and then you look at your team and there ia this one player with 1 point or so.
Injuries and suspensions never seem far away. I then lean on the impetuous side of things ;wahoo can't seem to help it
The most obvious statement of the weekend to follow...
I love transfers!!! ;biggrin
Ok, maybe just one ;whistle
#slight grumble tempered by Tammy and Sterling
But once averaged out, all averagely bad ;weep
