tomav84 Posted October 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2022 not really sure what i want to do for this week. i'm not expecting a high return whatever happens want to sack mitrovic off but not sure who to. solanke/scamacca/wellbeck/edouard are the contenders and none of them are floating my boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also suspect he'll come back from the WC injured as he's rumoured to be playing on pain killers for the foot injury He's also on 4 yellows Good time to get rid. If you've got a spare 0.5 Wilson might be a decent short term punt at least with two games to attempt to get in the England squad and fixtures against Southampton and an out of sorts CHelsea before the break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 1, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 1, 2022 It seems a lot of people rolled going into last week, so there'll be plenty of changes this week. Loads of possibilities too. Not least the fact Pep has confirmed Haaland isn't training with the 1st team and won't make it for Seville, so the obvious question then of will he make Fulham. Not sure what I'll do yet, but I doubt it'll involve removing him, not least because I lose 0.4m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same with him and Martinelli. 0.4 tied up in each of them I've brought in Kane for the banned Toney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted November 1, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2022 Losing 0.4m is normally a concern but I could see quite a lot of people dropping him and taking a short punt on someone to then WC WC and bring him back. Squad values seem to have exploded this year as some people have about 105m or more (I've got 102.5m already and am having an awful season).

Just looked there and the most valuable team up to the last deadline was 107.3. Bloody hell. I'm a measly 103.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People play for different reasons. There will be people who play it solely to be the most valuable squad. That's their game. The person with 107.3 is in around the 7.4m rank so they're not playing for points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 2, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 2, 2022 I've 0.3 spare to do the two moves I'll probably want to do this week, and both of them look like going up tonight. Arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted November 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2022 i think it's going to be mitrovic to edouard for me this week if he's fit. the problem with that is that i'll end up with 1.5m that will be burning a hole in my pocket and i'm going to be tempted to take a hit in order to upgrade andreas to almiron or something i'm not confident at all this week and if it goes badly which it might well do, i could do without a -4 on top of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
