Stevo985 Posted January 22, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2021 KDB out for 4-6 weeks. Easy swap to Son for me. Was planning on bringing him back anyway. Now I can afford him and Kane Going to switch to triple City defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a -4 last week for KDB when I almost went Sterling who would have out-scored him and not been forced into a transfer this week. Sux2Bus.

Assuming you'll be Dias, Stones and Cancelo or are you going for Ederson? I'm not keen on triple defence as it's too annoying when they concede and you lose three CS bonuses (as happened this week to me with WBA scoring against West Ham). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 22, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2021 Yeah I'm going to mull it over. KDB to Son can happen now. I have a bit of time to think about the next part. It's a risk but with Pep Roulette going for another of their midfielders is a risk too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely do early transfers, only if I'm desperate for money and the player I plan to transfer in/out is about to change price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a risk but with Pep Roulette going for another of their midfielders is a risk too I'm thinking of swapping KDB for Gundo and using the funds to upgrade my attack, maybe get Kane in as feel like he's the best option for TC this season (especially if he gets a decent DGW and they've got games to catch up). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got Emi (who's on my bench...I would only be -2 if I played him instead of Johnstone) and I've got Ollie. How does VTSkyBet rate my chances? So I've crashed out of the Cup by 3 points after taking a -4, having Emi on my bench instead of Johnstone, and also having Saka and Fabio Silva on my bench, for a total of 24 bench points. And, of course Ollie had to be slightly offside for his "second", otherwise I would have gone through. Typical of his and my seasons...

I used BB, scored over 100 and still dropped down 1 spot in my work league as someone who didn't use it outscored me (mainly due to players I meant to transfer in but didn't like Stones). I've never been that fussed about the cup, have gotten through 4 or 5 rounds (I think) and then lost to some random team ranked like 3m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the worst part...my opponent this week hasn't touched his team in weeks and beat me because of Aubameyang.... I'm still ranked 100k but only playing in leagues for fun, so take the Cup a bit more seriously since it adds a bit more competitiveness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouUnastanFren Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Rollercoaster of a DGW. Salah captain, KDB and Fernandes not pulling their weight and yet still squeaked 100 points thanks to Targett and Antonio. I finished higher OR last season than I currently am this but it's so so much sweeter being able to get points with triple Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 24, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 24, 2021 Compared to my 2 previous rounds I positively sauntered through in the cup by 5 whole points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 4 games in and I'm tempted to just delete my team. Transferred in Maddison and Stones, decided against Gundogan and Cancelo. Benched Soucek 30 minutes before the deadline in place of Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 26, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2021 I took a -4 to get Gundo in for Soucek. Felt pretty shit at 8pm. Now not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 27, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2021 You guessed it. Astonishing really. 8 weeks since my captain last scored a goal. 15 weeks since my captain got double figures. It's not even a surprise anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
