One of the highlighted players in Moneyball was Chad Bradford, who looks nothing like what scouts and fans imagine when they think about a pitcher. When he throws, his hand drops down so low on release that his knuckles literally scrape the floor. That unorthodox appearance meant that teams ignored him despite his impressive underlying numbers, until Billy Beane and his statistical staff looked beyond Bradford’s funky delivery, focused on the process and reaped the rewards. Today, the short, skinny thirty-something Leon Osman is Chad Bradford.
My dreams of a Mata stonker in tatters, who do I draft in? Nolan, Gorkss or Saylor?

Is there any way of affording Valencia or Ashley Young - they are going to explode in the next month.

First subscribe to this: http://dictionary.reference.com
Then get Michu or Fellaini, imo.Open Controls
I'd go for Pienaar or Fellaini at that price

Hi aqua
I'm slightly outta touch... Been away on hols for 2 weeks ( got my own team issues )
Do you need all them hits?
Or you got 2 fts ?Open Controls2FTs. Good to go?
And Bale or RVP el capitanOpen ControlsI like your forwards 😉
And mid.
Why aren't you selling Demel if he has hernia?Open ControlsDemel goes next week.. need to get van the man in
And my team look's so much better with rvp in there.. 😉Open ControlsGot to have RVP, later you leave it worse it will become.
Take the hit, and get him in.
I like your bale / hazard combo too.... That's where I need to be, but have bigger defensive issues to resolve first.Open Controls
Very good! 🙂

C) Caz, Hughes -> Bale, Nelsen/Davies

Was set on Cuellar all week, but now that he is listed as doubtfull I might go for Bardsley. Chances of starting?
Open Controlsbardsley very likely to start i would think
Open Controls
Need an advice guys..
Do you think I can settle for Rooney + cash to spend elsewhere, or RVP + a more cheap defender (max 5)Open Controls
RVP & someone like simpson
Open ControlsProblem is we don't know which position Rooney will play. I think for away games, he'll drop deeper. So go RVP if you must have one of them.
Open ControlsCheers guys.
Only problem is I already have coverage from NEW, STO, SUN and EVE in defense.
So the problem is, that I don't know where I could get that last defender...
Thanks anyways, I'll stick to my plan, and have to to a hit this week because of all the injuries....Open Controls
If you can't field 11 players that means someone is certain to get 0 points. So assuming the player you transfer in is likely to get at least 2 points would the -4 hit actually be worth it?
Open Controls8,815 people have transferred Wilson in today according to FISO, cause they have!!
Open Controlshe went down last night which distorts his transfers in stat on fiso. he's still sliding
Open Controls
Afraid it's being misread there. He had a price fall last night. As a result his transfers were reset from -11,000 or whatever back to zero. This appears as an 11,000 "increase". Something like 2,000 people then take him out today and it looks like an 8,815 "increase". They're just reporting what they see.

In the coming weeks I plan to trade out Michu for Pienaar, Lallana or Ramirez, what should I do with 1.2m if i get Ramirez?Open Controls
if you only bought michu recently and wont loose any money on him then the move to pienaar is fine otherwise why would you transfer out a player who has scored 6 goals?
