    Since Sala never made an appearance, and never made it to training . . .

        Ahh, I see. From a heartless and cold business pov, this is a huge financial loss, since Sala was their record signing. Just wondering what do Cardiff get as compensation.

        Poch doesn't really have a history of rushing him back in, and he looked knackered against Qatar. If the game against Watford is in danger, he can always be subbed on. Besides, I imagine Poch would rather risk Watford and have Son rested for the next three, than have him at sub-optimal levels for longer, co sidering they are lacking so many real threats

          When he's tired, he generally plays more anonymously - imo it's why Poch subs him off early in many games, he tends to fade out in the final minutes even at full strength.

      Im not sure Poch can afford to bench him. Spurs need to get back to form. Even the Fulham win was lucky and they didnt play well. I suppose it depends on how tired he is though.

      When a player has a red flag removed it resets their % to zero and locks it there for 1 week.

      Also true for players that join the league after the start, e.g. Higuain. Not sure why they do it really.

      I’m looking at getting both, have exact funds for both and can lose 0.1 on the two outgoing players before losing value. It’s lovely.

    3. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years

      The trouble will be that if they blank/get injured and there is a mass sell off, the owners have gained nothing, in terms of transfers in, so price drops could happen quite easily.

      For example Higuain:

      Say 200k transfer him in. His % will remain at 0. Then once he gets unlocked, If he gets injured in the first match and his ownership at the start of the GW was 200k then he’ll only require 20k net sales to fall 0.1.

      Not to mention that 100% of those managers that transferred him in are still most likely “active” and you have a player with a price that could easily fluctuate.

        As in those that have used their wildcard already.

        Wildcard is most powerful when there is a bumper DGW or to sort your team out after loading up on BGW players.

        Blanks in GW31 if the above results happen:
        United City
        Everton Chelsea
        Spurs Crystal Palace
        Watford Soton

        Plus one more round for any of those 5 to go out.

          *5 because Everton, Palace and Soton would be out/are out.

    I’ve still got my Kane money. Other than salah, who’s the mid to have?

        I should save ft here right? Tempted by Son and Higuain though......

        Speroni - Fabianski
        TAA - Luiz - Digne - Bennett - Doherty
        Richarlison - Hazard - Salah - Pogba - Camarasa
        Jimenez - Rashford - Firmino

        1ft 0.2itb

        Have exact funds for either Pogba -> Son, or Firmino -> Higuain. Not sure about these moves but they are the options imo. Not taking a hit and Hazard / Salah going nowhere.

        Thoughts?

              Sadly, way off in both. Having a harsh time of it.

              Mini league I'm 122 behind
              OR is around 230k

                Then yes, getting on Hig and Son early could be a good differential for a week or so. Think you need to start taking some risks to make up that sort of difference as a strong core template is forming. Good luck!

                    Thanks man. You make a good point. Mini league rival (we talk fantasy a lot) is trying to find the best way to get Higuain in and will not sell Pogba. No chance. Pogba -> Son then and let him take the risk with Higuain vs my Firmino?

                          Yes Salah every week for both of us. Know for sure he'll go Salah vs WHU so I was already eyeing up Hazard for that gwk.

                          Would take a -8 to get both Higuain and Son this week so may just opt for Son. Rival doesn't have Firmino.

              Perhaps but you might need both differentials to really make any difference as if they do well i'm sure your rival will bring them in soon to block you. Do they perma-captain Salah? Not this GW but maybe when Liverpool play away to West Ham you could captain someone else. Higuain against Hudds for example.

              Who is your longest owned awful player you cannot get rid of?

              For me it's Michael Keane. Got in GW13 (instead of Digne!) and has returned the miserable:

              8, 2, 0, 1, 1, -1, 2, 2, 5, 1

              Looking forward to seeing the back of him, there has always been another fire to put out but hopefully in GW26/27
