Doing my nuts on WOL this season. Biggest ever bet by backing them at 42 total points (350 quid per point!) and it's all gone horribly wrong....chances of me winning all but gone right?
Open Controls
what do you mean how does that bet work, sorry dont bet much myself- what do u mean 350 quid per poin t
Open ControlsIt basically means for every point less than 42 they finish with I lose 350 quid. Or, if they finish with more than 42 points I win 350 quid for every point they finish with above 42 points.
Eg, 38 points = 1,400 loss (4 x 350), 44 points = 1,050 win (3 x 350)Open ControlsOuch!
Open ControlsIf they don't get any more points all season I lose 8,725 quid!! Worst bet EVER!
Open ControlsHow do you lose 8725?
Open Controls42-17=25
25*350=8750Open ControlsGood maths, didn't even know their points. Long season ahead.
Open ControlsIt's actually 8,725 cause I did it in a few bets at different prices, but averages around 42 points. Either way it's horrible. Backing ARS at 64 points after their shocking start is a minor consolation. I cheer every Wolves goal like a fan!! 🙂 Just wish they'd stop conceeding late goals!!!!
Open Controls
I should add that i backed them after they had 7 points from the first 3 games... 🙁
Open ControlsBetfair? You can always place another bet. 42 = you come out even?

Wildcard team 0.1 in bank How does it look
Sorensen, Mignolet
Richards, Enrique, Assou Eccoto, Evans, Caulker
Silva, Bale, Nani, Sessegnon, Ireland
Van Persie, Aguero, Yakubu
Taking a punt on Ireland, Hes a headcase, but when in form can change a game. Mcleish has said he was going to give him games
How does the team look. Id prefer stronger keepers but think O neill will keep sunderland tight at the back, and stoke are strong defensively. 0.1 left if westwood retains his place.
Your views are appreciated,
Thanks ladsOpen ControlsThat looks very good. You could even have a cheaper sub than Ireland as I'm guessing you will rarely play him with your other front 7? Moses would give you 0.8m in the bank - perhaps for Yak -> Zamora at some point?
Open Controls
I've finally come to the concusion after getting burned several times over by Vorm that he indeed doesn't need rotation.
My mission is to find the cheapest non playing GK in the game and buy him to free up fundsOpen Controlsconclusion

Best mid for 8.5 or less? Dempsey? Valencia? Sess?

United... poor. Newcastle was way better than United by a mile.

Views from a united fan
After watching Newcastle V United tonight, these are my views:
1. The gap is closing on Barcelona
2. Our Midfield are the best in the world
3. Rio still has another 5 years at the top
4. Carrick is better than Xavi
5.Giggs could play for another ten years in midfield
6Park is a great Player
7.Rooney Deserves every penny of the 250K a week he gets.
8. We dont need to buy in the transfer window
9.Glazers are great owners
and finally.............
10.I havn't felt this sarcastic in ages!!!!!!!!Open Controls
Rooney should be bombed out - but who would take him?
Open Controls
Haha great post mate!
As a United fan you've summed it all up perfectly for me.
I share the exact same views, the rest of the league has caught up. We need a world-class signing in midfield.
Man.City excite me as a team.
Tottenham even more so.
United need to be refreshed, i say ship Rio out whilst we can still get some cash for him, and possibly pay 2 players wages per week. Carrick offers no creativity whatsoever, or Gibson, or Cleverly and Anderson is a waste of time. The only MF i like is Fletcher for his hard work more than anything. Park runs around like a headless chicken at times and i will never criticise Giggs, he is legend. Nani, Valencia and Young are fine imo but we need something in CM and quickly, Sjneider would have been perfect...Open ControlsCheers mate, thanks for the response.!!! Glad you liked it.
I completely agree with everything you said, Sjneider is needed desperatly, We need creativity and strenght in midfield!!!Open Controls
It's probably a mind game for SAF to say no new signing needed in Jan to play down greedy agent. Anyway, I'm not united fan. Does he usually mean what he says?
Open Controls
You just know that it's not your Fantasy season when your main rival's Goalkeeper scores!
DGW players for me so far:
Bale: 6
Ade: 2
VDV: 3
Drenthe: 0
Baines: 1
Saha: 2
Rubbish 🙁 !Open ControlsAde 🙁 so double 2 to reach the enormous sum of 4 lol
Open Controls
6, 6 and 2 for me.
I said all along Everton weren't worth it, they have 90 minutes to try and prove me wrong..Open Controlswould prefer a 4-4 draw with Bale and Drenthe hattricks.
Open ControlsI doubt Drenthe starts to be honest
Open ControlsJust checked your team - amazed you are wildcarding this week!! You can only be making about 3-4 changes!!
Open Controls7-8, actually
Open ControlsHey JOA, you sticking to Vorm, or shipping him?
Open ControlsKeeping, of course. I am not willing to change my grav 🙂
Open Controls
Wow. If wildcarding now with your team I would probably be keeping:
Vorm, Walker, Enrique, Simpson, Mata, Nani, Silva, Bale, Moses, Ade, Sturridge and RVP!! And probably JEvans too!!Open ControlsMata, Nani, Enrique not must haves imo.
Open ControlsNobody is a must have.
Open Controls
I have gotten rid of Walker, Simpson, Nani, maybe Moses and Sturridge
Open ControlsWalker is Richards as I fancy a Fletcher goal or something.
Simpson is just Williamson so nothing lost or gained there, except 0.1 🙂
Nani I am sick of, not because he is inconsistent but because I despise United and don't like him in my team haha, he was sacrificed to Dempsey for Aguero.Open Controls*something from Wolves.
Open Controls
Wishful thinking on my part, I know.
Open Controls
is it too much to have valencia and nani on ur team?
if it is.. which is better?
A) Nani + demps
B) valencia + mata
or any other suggestions?
gonna have bale, silva, sess as other mids
RVP, Aguero,
and yak or morrison??Open Controlsits gona be
ruddy, vorm
richards, jones, simpson, mcauley, kelly
demps, nani, bale, silva, sess
rvp, aguero, morrison
but if i want yak id have to change richards to a lower defender. 5.5Open ControlsI know it sounds mental but would you downgrade vorm and upgrade morrison?? Just think Swansea will fall away sooner or later. Hespicked up huge points rom penalty saves. Great Great team they must be worth a fortune very attack minded!!!!
Open Controlswont get much back for downgrading vorm. got him at 4
so worth abt 4.6 now and best gk i can see would be Mignolet for 4.3 so i get .3
not much to upgrade morrison.. he'll be benched mainly...Open Controls

Alreet lads
Still buzzing from last night. Well worth getting up at 4am for!! We absolutely dominated the champions.
I'm looking for a non biased perspective. In my opinion, we have 7 top draw players who would get into the 1st team squads of most, if not all of the top 6. They are: Krul, Colo, Saylor, Santon, Tiote, Cabeye, Ba. Add to that other quality players in Jonas, Arfa, Marveaux, and decent squad men in simpson, williamson, guthrie, raylor, obertan, best, ameobi, and a load of promising youngsters coming through. With a couple more first team signings and a few more decent squad players I think that we could definitely be challenging for the top 6 next season. We could even this season if we survive the african nations cup and avoid any more major injuries. What do you reckon? I ask this, because i've noticed several people on here expecting us to drop down the league, and even more expecting sunderland to finish above us. Has last nights result changed peoples thinking?
CheersOpen ControlsAll about Ba. Face it.
Open ControlsI was very impressed with the result - had expected a similar score the other way to be honest!!
I think you will really miss Ba when he goes, but you definitely have a shout at top 6, although I think you will fall short this year.
Of the 7 top draw players, I don't think you can include Santon or Cabaye in there (not seen enough yet), however I think it's more of a team effort you are where you are, rather than individual players. Hats off to Pardew - he's done a great job.Open ControlsI agree with you on Santon. But I put him in there based on his pedigree, potential and how good he has looked in the few games he has played. I think that the Cabeye/ Tiote centre midfield partnership is the 3rd best in the league. Silva/ Toure, and Parker/ Modric probably a shade better. Cabeye would walk into Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool midfield. Thoughts?
Open Controls
Very good game yesterday. Newcastle are impressive. I was utterly stunned when Pardew was appointed manager (I rated him in the same bracket as Souness), but I see he has learned many new tricks.
To be honest though, and probably sounding arrogant, the only player I can see breaking into the Spurs first eleven is Steven Taylor. He, along with Cabaye, Tiote and Ba are your 4 key players in my opinion. Then again, this is arguably the best first eleven in the clubs history.
For me though I rate you as the 6th best team currently, and Europa League is well within reach.
The tiers this season seem to be something like:
1st: City, United, and dare I say Spurs
2nd: Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle
3rd: Sunderland, Stoke, Swansea
4th: Villa, Everton, Fulham, WBA, Norwich
5th: Blackburn, Bolton, QPR, Wigan, WolvesOpen ControlsSaylor is good. But Colo is incredible. Up there with Vidic and Kompany as the best defenders in the league IMO. If I was to pick the nest of the two defences I would probably go Colo / Dawson
I would personally take Krul over Friedel and Ba over Adebayor. Parker v Tiote is just about equal (he was an absolute beast last night). Santon is potentially better than BAE. You can have the rest.
I agree with you though, your team is incredible at the minute. I was talking to a Man Utd supporter and saying that man for man, spurs are clearly superior. He agreed, but suggested the ferguson factor would keep them on top. Thoughts?Open ControlsI see that our evaluation of certain players are different. Might have something to do with club our biases 😉
When you went down, I remember thinking Coloccini was one to blame directly, as your defence was appalling. But obviously something has happened since then. I will take a look at him.
Best defender in the league though - surely Ledley King. He sleeps in a cotton cocoon, takes his meals in a cryogenic chamber, and the only training he is allowed is walks in the pool and speed chess.
Seriously though, Krul is a find, but Friedel is very reliable and inspires confidence.
Do not know much of Santon, but BAE has learned from his many mistakes and is growing on me game by game. If you say the potential is higher, then I wont argue to much though.o
As for United. The SAF factor is important of course. From United I would have Vidic, Evra, Valencia, Rooney. But the one thing I would like the most from United, is habit of winning, and winning trophies. This is a very important factor when things start going badly (which they must soon for us).Open Controls
Coloccini (who is better than S.Taylor) and S.Taylor would make Spurs team.
I think if Santon keeps playing regularly he would be ahead of BAE.
Ba would make any team at the momentOpen Controls
Think I'm just gonna go Vorm/Ruddy for the WC.. Benching Vorm == Suffering
Open Controls
Tim Krul had an assist?
What a week for keepersOpen ControlsUnited at the moment:
GK- Equals a mess, both inexperienced and making errors.
Defence- At the moment we have Evra, Jones is doing ok, the rest are either injured or not good enough.
Mf- Nani, Valencia and Young are fine on the wings. We have Fletcher in the middle, the rest are cack.
FW- Plenty of quality upfront, no need to do anything but they just need to get their posteria's in gear.
City:
GK- Hart, an awesome keeper
DF- Spoilt for choice, Kompany world-class, Richards offers something, rest do ok
MF- Again spoilt for choice. Y.Troure as powerhouse, Silva creative masterclass, Barry and Milner do the job, Johnson comes in and scores regularly, De Jong protects the defence.
FW- i can't say one or the other's team is better, though City are getting the goals....Open ControlsMan U;
GK - Nothing wrong with Lindegaard, he couldn't do much for the goals conceded.
Defence - fair enough, they're injured..
MF - I don't see how you can say Young is fine on the wing, but not mention Carrick/Cleverley (when fit) in the middle. Carrick has been good the last however many weeks, Cleverley is a big difference for United and Young is shit.
FW - Agreed, but they are inconsistent
All in all, City are better in every aspect.Open ControlsI like Valencia and Nani on the wings, but Young is good to have in the squad though i can see where you are coming from.
We're the only team rotating GK's at the moment, even though they aren't injured?
Cleverly isn't a Sjneider, or a Xavi, or a Fabregas, Gerrard/Lampard, i mean we need somebody of that caliber.
I'd like a De Jong, a Tiote, Modric or Parker figure in there tbh also.Open ControlsCleverley is good.
Just because De Gea and Lindegaard are being rotated doesn't mean they are shit.Open Controls
Ya its hard to except but City excel in most part of the team. United need to buy!!!
We have a group of core players who can be class on their day:
evra, jones, nani, valencia, young, even flethcher whos a great worker. Rooney, Hernandez and Berbatov when he feels like it.
The problem is that or decent midfielers are wingers, our strikers are not in form.
Defence seriously misses Vidic , Can evans fill the spot??
God knows whats going on with the keepers!!!!Open ControlsI'm just getting at the fact that it is a squad that need freshening up, that is all.
I think Fergie is being too stubborn, though he is hard to question lol
It's the feeling from most United fans, a similar frustration being experienced by Arsenal fans dare i say?
I really like what Tottenham and City have done, can see progression there and a bit more drive.
United seem stale at the moment.Open Controls
