KennyPowers Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) I just had a look at some of the other fantasy games to see if they were worth playing. The Mirror and Mail are just horrific. You can have multiple teams with subs and you can sub players prior to earliest kick off without incurring transfers. So basically, if you plan on trying to win, you have to check and change your team every single day there is a Premier League game. Who has time for that? Even Sky have gone over the top with theirs. If anyone is playing it you can make a captain change within a game week now which is Sat to Fri. So you have to try and aim to have a captain playing on the Saturday which you can then change for the Sunday. However, if you transfer the captain out this doesn't incur the free captain change. So say if you have a captain playing on the Sat, you can transfer him out for someone playing on the Sun and then make another captain change in midweek. Ugh. Edited to say you can make a captain change within a gameweek, that's what I meant Edited August 15, 2013 by KennyPowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hmm can't resist Benteke with all the Arsenal injuries. Clyne in for Baines Mirallas in for Whittingham (meh think Whitts is gonna score well) Tekkers in for Anelka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 16, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2013 don't need them mate!! No United players might be an error though. I did try and shoehorn RVP in in place of Bale but couldn't make it work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 16, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2013 I've just swapped Coutinho in for Michu so there's a bit of red in there now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyPowers Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'm surprised at the lack of love for Jon Walters. I don't expect Stoke to do that well but a £6.5m midfielder who takes penalties and plays upfront a lot is a must have shirley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 We all start with a team worth 100 Million.What happens if after a week or so 1 of your players increase in value, by say 2 million. Do you have to transfer players to bring your teams total value back to 100 million or can you buy more expensive players with the money you just got ?

Do you have to transfer players to bring your teams total value back to 100 million or can you buy more expensive players with the money you just got ? You keep the money. Although it won't increase by that much in a week, fwiw. But yeah, it works the other way too. your players can decrease in value leaving you with less money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 AVB has said Bale won't be playing at all in August (which is code for 'ever again') so if you have him, feel free to take him out. Now I can sort my midfield out properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I did have RvP and Bale, but the rest of my team were shit. Wanted more points from everyone not just two players. Massive risk, but might make it more enjoyable. Think Anelka has score the most out of any player in pre season. Might be a good shot considering how cheap he is.
