Fantasy Allsvenskan GW11 Pre-match Preamble

Yeah same captain. No reason to go rogue

Baby coming

Yeah, glad I didn't captain Lauritsen (so far).

4 clean sheet wiped out in 22 minutes. At least Larsson made up for it with an assist. Still don't understand how winning a penalty is not concidered a "big chance created"???

I've benched him the last 2, for this game I sold him instead of Abraham for Ludwigsson.
In short, I stink

Is it really necessary? In my case, taking -4 would make me drop over 100 places.

A rather drastic conclusion to make, and a big NO is my answer. If it's possible without completely changing formation, perhaps getting one premium striker in could be a good idea, but that's it for me.

Nyman is the top scorer in the league, yet he's still 26p behind Haksabanovic. Todays (unfair) bonus points was his first in 11 games, while Haksabanovic got 21. Kiese Thelin's got 2 bonus points all season - AC picked up 2 today within the 30 minutes. The ones I'd be tempted by is Jesper Karlsson, who should offer more in form of bonus, penalties, set pieces etc. Toivonen also looks good, but 11.1 is a lot to pay for a regular 5-7p. The same could be said about Nyman, who's scored 7+2, yet todays 7p was his second highest tally all season.

My advice on the premium strikers would be:
Nyman and IKT - Don't buy, don't sell.

Toivonen - Try to fit in if on wildcard and it doesn't affect the rest of the team structure.

Karlsson - If you got a midprice striker, try to find funds to upgrade to Karlsson.

Tried to suggest that on last article ahead of todays games but no bites.

Thing is, AC playing deeper now that Toivonen is playing.
Sure AC gets bonus and will still get goals and assists but today just highlighted the problem. 5 goals and no involvement stinks.
Sugita now gets the fixtures and could allow a cheaper forward to instead turning into J Karlsson for example(though wasn't he löpning when subbed).
In any case I Think it's a valid idea to shift a bit to more money up front. While Sugita maybe wont match AC straight up a more expensive forward may lift points total up.

Just used AC as an example as I'm hung up about him playing deeper. Irandust should probably also go in my case and Seb Larsson another option though his fixtures turn now so I'll be keeping for now

It seems like Hammarby are increasing pressure on Tankovic to make up his mind, or simply cutting him loose. His form the last few game weeks has been in sharp decline.

This however potentially removes one premium player from the game, freeing up money to be spent elsewhere.

Wigren coming on from the bench, then. Also makes the decision about transferring Tanko out easy…

3 wins in 11 and 17 goals conceded is not according to AIK standards.

Just ahead of a massive fixture swing.
Gonna be exciting to see what it will mean fantasy wise.
I've got one eye on Goitom and Bahoui going forward and will of course keep Larsson for now. Tihi I want to throw under the buss but with PTB out of the way lets just see what happens for now.

Gonna watch Van den Hurk tonight, dis really well in a few games just before his suspension

Feels like a make or break moment for the Hammarby head coach - fail tonight and Billborn will become the third coach fired this season.

I see this a lot but to me it’s just about picking players on an individual level, regardless of wether or not I have a defender facing that particular attacker. Häcken notoriously bad against the top teams, especially on the road, meanwhile Sirius scores almost every game - PK starts for me.

Moving away from that the ceiling of Irandust seems a lot higher In general than for instance J.larsson. Again if we assume Sirius scores, you’re relying on attacking points and bonus from J.Larsson. If Häcken does score, Irandust is highly likely to be involved. If they don’t, he’s still good for bonus.

That’s my thinking anyway, I try to not pick sides in general and just hope for a bunch of attacking points and bonus 🙂

I'm afraid not, they're currently struggling to avoid relegation from Superettan (the second division).

This is a good place to start! I’d also suggest signing up to the free version of Dplay and watch their highlight recaps 🙂

Could be an option, though to be honest Norrköping defence hasn’t impressed lately. I think I’m holding that chip either until a very nice opportunity arrives or until GW30 to be able to differentiate a bit with most going for Hakšabanović captain.

I don’t think I’d sideways move Kacaniklic to Khalili just yet. It’s a bit of a case of how much you think last week was a fluke or if they’re going to start performing on a more regular level. Fluke - get rid, otherwise hold for this GW and probably next with Falkenberg at home, then get rid if he hasn’t picked up form. I sold this gw as part of a bigger plan to shift around funds but not sure it’s the best timing really. Still have Ludwigson though.

I would save the chip. There will be other interesting games further on, where the players will be more rested, and the opposition worse than Mjällby (like Falkenberg). Still think Lauritsen and Haksabanovic is the best choice for that chip though!

I would keep Kacaniklic for the next two games, then ship him. That will give you two weeks to watch how AIK play under theire new management. If it looks like they can turn things around, I'd concider Bahoui. 9.0 for Larsson is an awful lot of money for a couple of bonus points and an odd goal or assist from set pieces. At that price, I want a threat from open play as well.

Both great options IMO, especially with the fixtures coming up. If you can live with the managed minutes and rotation risk, I'd go for Vecchia. He's the more attacking player and the more long term pick, with Sugita leaving after August. That said, I got them both 🙂

I like Vecchia a lot, got him in this week. He shoots an insane amount, costs a million less and he won’t be leaving at the end of August like Sugita when the loan expires. Minutes will continue to be managed but I still have faith in him delivering while in the pitch.

Last I checked think Vecchia had more shots, shots on target and key passes. From fewer minutes. And he's cheaper

Boring answer, but just leave it as it is, because it looks fine. I know it might sound stupid to waste a FT, but it's not! People tend to forget that when two team's are on the same amount of points, the one with the fewest transfers made will be ranked higher. I'm currently ranked around 400, and 23 other players got the exact same amount of point as I do. 6 of them are ranked above me because I've done one or two luxury subs/short term punts, but 16 teams are behind me because they've made more transfers while I've been rolling mine.

Ekpolo's got 3 great games coming up after Norrköping, so I wouldn't get rid of him at this stage. Kacaniklic and Hammarby looked slightly improved against Helsingborg, so I would defenitly keep him for Falkenberg at home. Berget is a big no for me. If I pay 8.5 for a player, I want it to be a key player, or at least a guaranteed starter, not a constant rotation threat competing for spots with Toivonen, Rieks, Traustasson, AC and Nalic.

Might be risky going without Björnström and a Djurgården defender, but on the other hand, your team looks fine. For the future, I'd look for another keeper, and maybe ship Kacaniklic next week for someone like Sugita. That would free up cash to upgrade Väisinen/Kahl to Björnström/Augustinsson. Also keep an eye on Vecchia. Although his injury didn't look serious, he could still be out for a few weeks.

Good luck!

I think the proposed Berget and Witry transfers looks like a great idea to be honest. Yes Falkenberg at home is a plum fixture but neither Hammarby nor in particular Kacaniklic has looked that great. Fixtures after that aren’t great either with Djurgården and Norrköping away coming after.

Kaca could indeed deliver this week but Malmö and Berget should do better in the coming weeks, also Witry is pure fantasy gold in my very humble opinion 🙂

Bench order is really tough there! I would actually concider Okumu first sub. Elfsborg are usually solid, and AIK lacks edge this season. I can't see Elfsborg conceding more than 1goal, and with Okumu almost guaranteed 2 defensive bonus points that would give him at least 4p.

I have Abraham 2nd after Bjornstrom (playing Witry, Lauritsen, Augustinsson, Ahmedhodiz), but coin flip really

IKT (or Nyman?) the better option but I probably wouldn't overhaul things for one player in a sgw unless they're moves you want regardless. Having said that I wouldn't be keen on playing a chip for an AIK player.

I think the attack chip is just going to have to be played whenever the moment seems right, preferably when AC/Haksa either have worse fixtures, seem off form or even are suspended. I’m not going to plan for that this season but if I were to, I’d probably want to target games like Falkenberg at home - planning 3-4 transfers ahead though seems like asking for trouble with this congested schedule. If going Abraham, perhaps target a fixture that AIK will be first out so you can be sure he starts. Good luck regardless of when you deploy it! 🙂

I'd definitely prefer IKT out of that lot. I'm looking to potentially use the Attack! Chip next gw and he's definitely one I'm looking at.

Consider playing them all and parking the bus?

Lauritsen or Bjornstrom

I wouldn't park the bus, but I would defenitly play all 5 this week. Can't advice you to bench eighter of them, I'm afraid. Surely there must be a midfielder or attacker you could bench instead?

I'm looking at Ludwigsson atm. Hacken have been very dominant at home in most games this season. I also don't fancy Christiansen when he's playing deeper.

Kaca, Widgren, Witry on the bench too. Will be many with issues

I wasn't sure if it was true so switched captain with Haksa, but left AC in.
Why leave captain on him if you read it as not in squad? Quite risky if vc doesn't turn up

A sign of things to come during this busy month...
