Wainy316 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 64 for me. Could have been much better with Sanchez in goal and Foster on the bench. Got £4m in the bank for after the international break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 8, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 8, 2021 73pts for me, back up into 7.5k. I've rolled the Spurs dice now. Triple Spurs for a -4. Vardy, Havertz & Rudiger out for Kane, Son & Reguilon. Now to hope for no new injuries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm torn on Vardy. He's done nothing since I picked him up 3 weeks ago and now has Chelsea. But has good fixtures after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt it'll be against someone completely unexpected and when I drop him. Unless you're playing major catch up and need to gamble (to early in the season for that in my opinion) just leaving the armband on Salah seems the best call right now.

Stevo985 Posted November 9, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Yeah not captaining Salah is suicide at the moment to be honest. Even if you're miles behind I don't think that's a gamble worth taking yet. I keep saying it but I was 2million and something in the world after GW12 last season and 8 weeks later I was in the top 200k. I didn't do anything special, just stopped taking silly risks and played sensibly. The ranks are still so compacted that solid play can still give you huge gains. You don't have to be majorly risky yet I think if Spurs significantly improve then it might be worth thinking about Kane or Son as captain. But until then I think you're very very brave if you take the armband off Salah Edited November 9, 2021 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 9, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 9, 2021 My thinking is that Son & Reguilon are not that much a risk and may become template. The risk is Kane but I think if Son starts to return then it's inevitable Kane will be involved. And not many will have the 2, so I'll be in prime position. I made it so that I could get to Kane & Son quite easily. I think more would potentially have done it if they could. The worry is Vardy will go off from Watford onwards. I don't plan on having Kane for long anyway. I'll be on Ronaldo from 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Livramento looking like he's good enough to play every week I think people can afford to downgrade a more premium defender to Reguilon. I've got James, Cancelo, Trent, Rudiger and Livramento. So I'm looking at Rudiger to Reguilon, and if it ends up that Reguilon isn't worth it then Livramento is easy to play instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've a lot of money in your defence going into some tricky fixtures over the next month. Particularly the Chelsea boys. At Leicester and West Ham and home to United in the next 4. I guess Mané is always easy to downgrade if needed. You need Antonio to fire too (in some tricky fixtures) or that front line is a bit mis-firing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need Antonio to fire too (in some tricky fixtures) or that front line is a bit mis-firing. The Rudiger downgrade is on the cards for me regardless, as is Iheanacho. That experiment has well and truly failed. It's not worth having money in strikers at the moment so I'll be downgrading him, probably to Broja, and using the money from him and Rudiger to upgrade someone else, probably Toney. Mane is a placeholder for Ronaldo (it would require 2 FTs). Plan is to hold Mane until GW 15 and then use the FTs to swap out for Ronaldo for his insane run of fixtures. Should hopefully have enough money to do Mane to Jota and one of the strikers up to Ronaldo. But have to use the International break. The Spurs boys have put a bit of a spanner in the works for these plans, as has United and Ronaldo's form. A big part of me thinks it's not worth having Ronaldo even for those amazing fixtures, but not sure I can take the risk of not having him. Statistically he does better against the smaller teams. But anyway, need to find some time to sit down and plan it properly Edited November 9, 2021 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Kane over Salah would be radio rental. But all I'm doing is punting on one currently mis-firing premium over the other mis-firing premiums, and banking on his curve being upwards. So I think it's a calculated risk that doesn't have a massive downside if it doesn't work out, but could have a massive upside if it does with those fixtures.

Wainy316 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Do free transfers carry after a free hit? For instance, I have one transfer for the next GW, if I play my free hit next week will I have two free transfers the following week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have 2FTs, use a token and you'll be back to 1FT the week after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was someone last season who was genuinely in the conversation to win the entire thing with a few weeks to go, and he must have played his wildcard but forgot to activate it because he took like a 50 point hit one week and obviously dropped dramatically as a result 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 18, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) I have no idea what to do this week. I need to get rid of Iheanacho but I'm not sure who for. Broja maybe but he's not nailed. Thinking of rolling it and bringing Ronaldo in early next week or the week after. I have the exact money to do Mane to Jota, Rudiger to Reguilon and Iheanacho to Ronaldo. With Jota being nailed now this seems like a less risky idea.
