HanoiVillan Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Yeah, he's a high-risk high-reward choice. On the other hand, he can't be any worse than Berahino, who I've been holding on to all along in the belief the Olbiyun would surely sell him in January.

I know they need a striker but i'm not sure how fit he is going to be. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/emmanuel-adebayor-bids-to-prove-fitness-to-suitors-as-he-trains-in-his-old-tottenham-shirt-a3150836.html I think he looks in better shape than Gabby at the minute.

Match sharpness though. Either way I don't have space for him. My forward line is Firminio, Costa, Aguero, Long & Austin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted February 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2016 That's an decent forward line, what formation do you normally play? All of our guys stack the midfield with 5 players and nobody has more then 4 forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 SBS has by far the best forward line of anyone. I change formation every week, have done 5-4-1, 3-4-3 and everything in between. Most weeks I correctly work out who to bench (although I missed a haul from Van Dijk yesterday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rds1983 Posted February 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm 3-5-2 and very midfield heavy. I have Sanchez, Afobe, Firmino and Arnautovic up front and thinking of dropping one to pick up another midfielder. It's interesting seeing different people's take on tactics.

sexbelowsound Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Just on forward lines. Anyone who wants Shane Long in exchange for a midfielder or defender, I am open for that trade. He is a solid 3rd choice striker. I liken him to Capoue who I also have. I know that 9/10 if I play them both I can pretty much guarantee 10-12 points each. Perfect for when you think your higher scoring players might struggle to impact a game. I rarely use him because I prefer to go with the higher risk/higher reward players like Firmino, Aguero and Costa. They either score big or do **** all.

sexbelowsound Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Just now, HanoiVillan said: Got tired of Howard that quickly? Nah, The bitch might be injured and out for tonight. I've been playing a dicey game with only one keeper for ages anyway. Was just going to take the hit. Either accept i'm missing a player or pick up Robles but then i'd have to drop someone. Think I have a big enough points lead to get through this game week. @StefanAVFC has the best keeper selection for this game I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 You lot better be back for this next year. I know the points are erratic but now that we all know what scores and what doesn't I think the league will be much tighter and far more trading going on.

Rds1983 Posted February 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2016 I have at least three people who are up for next year, potentially more depending how the rest of this season goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Does it have to be 12 teams? Its a good number but hard to maintain interest for all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you pick a formation and then build the players around it? I'm the exact opposite really, change constantly depending on fixtures. I looked back on what I said earlier to you. I misremembered doing a 5-4-1, I must have played around with it but not actually used it. I have used: 4-4-2 x5 4-5-1 x4 3-4-3 x3 3-5-2 x1 4-3-3 x1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always played the full midfield as I have a lot of strength there and it's usually what wins me the fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
