Sky Sports Analysis – Goalkeeper Bonus Save Points

As mentioned in a previous article, there’s been a handful of new rules introduced to the Sky Sports Fantasy game this season. One of the most welcome additions is the move to reward goalkeepers with bonus points – stoppers will now receive two extra points if they make five or more saves in a match, thus boosting their appeal and forcing us to reassess their worth in the season ahead.

The Sky Sports table for Goalkeepers in the Members Area now includes the bonus points from saves that would have been accrued for the past two seasons. In this evening’s article for Members, we’ve analysed these numbers in full, assessing the impact the new bonus system is likely to have on our Sky Sports selections.

Do a lot of people in here study maths or it or something?

I saw one bloke do the bonus points article and it must have taken him weeks.

What are the important skills when writing those sort of articles?

    Even thought the reply box came up under your comment. It posted a new one. It was not my fault at all. This is a repost
    
    I knew people who did engineering when I was at uni.
    
    They were not smug or arrogant like the medical students who were all posh as well and medical students kept talking about how hard they worked but they were out every night
    
    The engineers had as many lectures as them though they had more to cover in less time probably
    
    But they never spoke to women that was funny one guy even went on a course and bought books to help him.
    
    They were great at fixing things I like them

      We don't fix things, we design things so that they don't break.
      
      "Engineering is the application of scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes."
      
      And women aren't a problem 😉

What do you reckon? Assuming Bale doesn't bail, that is. I know it's ultra risky but there are good rotations

Speroni McGregor (rotation)
Gibbs M Turner Brayford [Clyne Collins] (rotation)
Bale Coutihno Snodgrass [Koren J Thomas] (rotation)

    I think Bale will leave but not ignoring him until he does. Selling Lukaku for Bony after DGW and Walcott/Santi Cazorla for Bale with an upgraded defence if/when he goes. I know Gibbs is riskier than Kos/Mer but he starts seasons well

  The keepers are pretty ugly, and Sturridge/coutinho is too much stock in a potential mid table side, and Sturridge may not be fit. Plus you only have one risky Chelsea player with a nice double.. I like the budget defense and koren/thomas fine. but the sacrifices of this team remind me why I refuse to consider RVP.

    Keepers are shocking, granted, but they rotate the entire season for 9.0 and may benefit under the new BPS due to high volume of saves.
    
    Point taken on Liverpool, just the romantic Pool fan in me, plus they link up well. If Sturridge isn't fit, I'll look to Bony first perhaps, prefer having Coutihno.
    
    Just not sure with Chelsea since blank in 3 and can't quite grasp how Jose is going to field but I know what you mean. Just Lukaku's current form, may be given the chance for the DGW and could outscore the ret if he is.

      You've got a Liverpool/Everton (both nailed?) as opposed to my Arsenal/(West Ham/Sot rotation), not faring too bad considering Clean Sheets are tough to spot early on in the season.
      
      In Midfield, Snodgrass is under priced and I don't mind the Thomas/Koren rotation at all, negates a serious part of their dodgy-ness

Hows this:

RVP, Lukaku, Anelka

0.0 in the bank.

Rotating Anelka and Koren, and Collins and Coleman.
Lukaku goes GW2, maybe to dzeko.

Vorm
Coleman - Riether - O'Shea
Hazard - Coutinho - Mirallas - Walcott - Silva
Bony - Soldado

Bench: Boruc, Anelka, Brayford, Parr

I've set aside 9.5 for Soldado, if he happens to be cheaper I will upgrade a defender.

Thoughts? 🙂

14.0 is waaaaayyyy too much for any player in this game.

So, two weeks on, I'm sure like you, I have considered a MULTITUDE of possible teams!

For me, all those teams are influenced by only 2 factors.

Will Bale stay and is RVP worth the spend. Everything else pivots on this....

Actually, there are 3 factors, as the RVP and Bale questions influence each other.... 🙂

Cardiff City: Marshall, Brayford, John, Kim, Hudson (capt; Caulker 60), Turner, Whittingham, Cowie (Gestede 70), Campbell (Ralls 77), Smith (Taylor 71), Noone. Subs: Richards.

Brayford played full 90 min unless other rb nailed on i think brayford a very good choice i can see cardiff keeping quiet a few cleansheets this year

  Well, we pretty much can have any strikers we want 😉
  
  I personally can't decide who is the stand out candidate for me with all the injuries, poor fixtures and people just not being as nailed on as I'd like them to be.

Giggs boson and other engineers

Giggs boson mate I saw your comment now its gone

What engineering is best to study and what uni

Also why don't engineers get engineer before their names like doctors get dr and even dentists

I hear this happens a lot in other countries where they are respected more. I got in a taxi once and the driver was indian I think maybe pakistan and he said where he was from engineering was the best profession and kids wanted to do it all their life

    Hello gargamel mate every time I type something long it posts in the wrong place
    
    I remember asking about you a long time ago
    
    I remember you because I watched smurfs when I was little. You came on here a lot before.
    
    You are talking about rob. He is married he would never have a girlfriend. We do not speak any more I pushed him in a bar once and we had a few arguments. I confronted him as I think he was making up stories when he was called mr even when he was supposed to be was a doctor. It sounded like he had been kicked out of the job and lost his title and he tried to tell me some stupid story about surgery. I beat him easily last year in the end.

    Psychology is fascinating to study in your own time, but it holds few job prospects because so many take it as a subject. Engineering is a wise path to go down if you have the right type of brain, very lucrative 😉

        Probably more than half of the students on my course (aero engineering) went on to have careers outside of engineering, including myself. Unless you intend to stay in the field, I'd recommend just doing something you find interesting at uni.

        A good engineering degree whether it is Aero or Mechanical is highly lucrative for many sectors like finance and business too. Most of the top companies CEO's are engineering graduates.

  10 years, 10 months ago
  Engineering is an excellent career and there is a growing need for skilled engineers in the UK. However you are right, engineers are far more respected in other countries than over here. The general public's perception in the UK of an engineer is the guy who fixes your boiler or does your MOT test. The pay on average is also better in other countries than over here.

  I dropped out of uni when I did history I was more interested in politics modules
  
  seemed stupid to be paying a grand a year for one or two hours lectures I wasn't getting my moneys worth and I hated it too

  I am studying a Masters in Mechanical Engineering. It is the most broad of the engineerings as we do most things.

  I graduated in Civil Engineering and I'm also a Master of Engineering. No one really cares about Engineers in this country. Ask the average person about Brunel and they wouldn't have a clue who he is. There is always space on the University courses and they'll accept lower grades. It's tough study mind you. 30+ hours of lectures each week.
  
  I ended up leaving the industry because
  a) there was a recession and no one was building. (It's always the same, a recession and the first thing to suffer is construction.)
  b) found a career that I found was more natural for me (computer programming)

Ahh its good to be back!

What with Reading being relegated, my PL interest had wained, so please forgive me if this RMT has some glaring errors.

Mignolet/Boruc
Luiz, Olsson, Coleman, Brayford, Wilson
Hazard, Walcott, Coutinho, Silva, Whittingham
Lukaku, Jrod, Benteke

0.0mill left.

I was thinking of Foster instead of Mignolet to free up 0.5mill. RVP is still tempting if I downgrade the midfield. Is Sissoko still a good bet this season guys ?
