I think Arteta is a cheat!

I do that everytime there's a chance the ref might get it wrong in my favour 😳

No.

Because if you've played the game, you'll know that you often instinctively do that regardless of whether the ball is yours or not.

It annoys me that players constantly try and deceive the refs (including this way), and then they and the managers go mental after games when decisions have incorrectly gone against them. Not that I expect any of them to see the irony...

Yes

Tim Cahill is the ultimate poacher.

What on earth does analogous mean? Show off.

Annoying isn't it. Like I'm going to have to spend 4 points to downgrade Toure so I can get Elmander in.

True that. Although there are cases where hits for defenders aren't worth it, I personally never look at multiple transfers, when a hit is involved, on a per gameweek basis. A fair reflection on whether the tranfers payed off would be to look at points earned during a couple of weeks at least.

Transfer hits should be dependent ones.

One player to save value for another.

Wrong.
You may have made 100 transfers, but if you eventually have a bad forward, then it still makes sense to switch him for someone better as a 101st transfer. But it doesn't mean your 100 transfers were sensible.

Not worth a hit for a defender is a load of rubbish. It is about return on investment. Points hits are sometimes necessary to improve your team. If you are afraid to take a points hit you will struggle to succeed in this game.

I disagree with the point you're trying to make. I think its wrong to do a defensive switch as part of a 4-point hit, unless you are very consciously playing a long term game.

Unless the defender switch has facilitated the attacking switch, value wise, you're still taking a points hit for a defender. Given how uncertain clean sheets are, you could have not done the transfer, and chances are you score would have been higher, depending on what switch you are making.

If you could do it the next week for free, it is almost always better.

Reply fail. This was in response to DaFoe22's wildcard team ages ago.

Nice!

Not tempted to drop Cahill after todays performance though!

I'd take 2 points for him from this game.

Can see Everton conceding and Coleman getting booked though.

Nooooooo. I have Dann coming on!! If there's a god pls give everton 3 penalties.

I've been asking god not to let Elmo on, so we'll soon see who's the boss.

+1..

Thank god.

Can't see him starting the next game he has been poor today.

😛

Well, he is from my birth country ... 😉

Delightful metaphor, though! 😀

He's been terrible. Shame really, because when he's playing well he's absolutely brilliant.

Hopefully now mummy won't come on.

Sorry 2-1
