4 weeks ago I did Kane > Gayle. Then Kane scored 13, 12, 11 and 4. Kane had bad fixtures and was playing Pulis, Wenger and Rodgers. So yes I've learnt to not be oversmart, not take risks and just play like the sheep...
I hear you, Kane to Oscar and a 3-5-2 here. Shockingly bad result.
Maybe just bringing in Kane and not captaining him to half the risk if he score big. I have both Austin and Kane. Spurs have 6cs all season Austin could easily score in either game
Who would you captain then?
Aguero probably
An intriguing approach, since Aguero is almost as rank neutral as Kane now.
I think going without Kane is madness tbh !if you wanna go different get Kane and maybe chadli over eriksen or vert maybe to get a goal for you !you can play with your captain choice as well !maybe austin over Kane but I'd say have Kan. In your team atleast
It's no use getting differtentials for the sake of it, they have to score more than the 'template' (ie. players that score lots of points) players.
It really depends on your targets. If you want top 10k, you can easily make that up by being sensible. If you want higher, then you'll have to take risks somewhere. That being said, I do think Kane will score well, which would likely leave you well adrift...
I'd personally just plug away with some well informed diffs along the way. Take some hits if necessary to get your team on track. (I took a -16 the week after I wildcarded, and it was the best decision I've ever made)I am halfway through that corrective process having gotten Silva and Bertrand in on a -8 this week. Just trying to figure out how big I want to go this week as I had always planned on more hits as the second part of the restructuring.
I'm sure you're somewhat disheartened, but it's better to try and fail, than to never try at all. 😀
Catchup can be fun as you can afford to take more risks and mix it up a bit.
Kane is the most essential player in the game right now. You will lose more ground if you don't have him. Risk is good if you want a dramatic rise up the ranks but forgoing Kane will be to your detriment I'm afraid. I better move might be to find differentials that might actually be better than the current template. Eg, Ozil over Sanchez, Ivan over Terry, Triple WBA defence, Costa? then mix up your captaincies and don't go with the one at the top of the captains poll.
Cheers for the thoughtful replies. In a way, it is actually making the game more fun to resolve myself to break from the norm and spend the time figuring exactly how much deviation needs to happen at each step.
The responses to my second question below make me think I might want to cap it at four or five of those template attackers.You sound like a drunk gambler chasing their losses with ever more stupid bets.
Get a grip, play the cards right and come home strongThat was two or three gws ago!
Got in eriksen & Kane . Problem is it's so template now zzzzz
Where's the next differential , everyone has kun , kane , Sanchez ,hazard
Green
Kos , Toby , Wollsheid
Eriksen , hazard , sanchez , mane
Aguero , Giroud , Pelle
Foster , Pva , naughton , BoydPelle is now kane
my differential for the last few weeks has been not to own sanchez although that might not be a differential anymore
So I've got a dilemma, Tia Maria or Carzola > Sterling or Silva for -4
Foster (Krul)
Lescott,Ivan,Bertie, (Monreal,Jones)
Tia Maria,Punch,Eriksen,Carzola(Milner)
Aguero,Kane (c), Austin (v)
Or Austin (c) ??
Thanks in advance.What number of hits are you guys taking for the dgw?
1
2
0 hopefully
Which combo would you rather have from GW29 onwards
A) Cazorla and Costa
B) Sanchez and Austin and £1.8m extra in bankA by a mile
Lol reply fail. 0 because I kept 2FT
ZER0
1
2-3.
I might not take any at all, really depends on how much I feel I should do any of the following:
1. Sanchez to Eriksen
2. Giroud to Austin
3. Both
I think this is the key question for the GW for many managers that don't have easy outs.1
0 this DGW isn't worth it.
who are you getting?
Just got Eriksen to add to Kane
O
Repost need advice on this
Is puncheon to ozil/sterling worth a -4?
Current mid is hazar. Eriksen Silva boyd0:)
How many of
Silva Eriksen Sanchez Hazard Sterling
Giroud Austin Kane Aguero
will you have?6 🙁
It is a weird gw, right? Too many great fixtures among the heavyweights.
6
Atm I have 6/9. Will get Hazard in gw 30 most likely
6 or 7
7
7.

GREEN
ROSE/ CAULKER/ Ivanovic
Silva/ERIKSON/Hazard/carzola
KANE/AUSTIN/aguero
Panti/hadaira/PvA/pucheon
Is my team for this week a little overkill or good to go?Haha... well if you have the players (which seems odd) then that is awesome!
It's a wildcard!
Team at -4 if I sell Cazorla for Eriksen. Good idea??
But who to bench?!
Pantilimon
Terry, Dawson, Clichy
Sánchez, Silva, Hazard, Mané, Eriksen
Austin, Kane, Agüero
(Krul, Bellerín, van Aanholt)Bench mané
Thanks. Done nothing for me at all!
Yes good idea
I just did that. Join me in a land of hits and great "on paper" moves that sometimes actually pan out. But sometimes don't! Just seems like the move that needed to be made, if it's not Sanchez, which seems a move that would give more heartache if Alexis had a big game.
Aah Baines, what a pain you are proving to be.
A. Defoe to Austin FT
B. Baines to Ivan FT
C. Defoe & Baines to JT or Vert & Austin (-4)A
You already made 4?
C
What you done so far?
And who is that in your grav?
C with Vert for me
Yeah, think I'll run some tables on the defender transfer, see if anything jumps out.
Says the man who refuses to sell Keane until he scores one of those effing headed chances.
A
Perfect grey arrow. Get in liverpool!
😯
The FPL Holy Grail!!! Niiiiice! 😀🙂
Well done
Mythical greyImpressive
So are most of you lot bringing in Eriksen and Rose tonight to catch the rise?
That's quite a common move
Did Di Maria to Eriksen literally 2 minutes ago. Waiting on the defender transfer
for -4 then ?
Yes
My midfield is looking grim. Di Maria or Walcott to go first?!
Walcott i think. although you'd gradually get rid of both over the next few weeks
Ta
Silva Ozil Sanchez Hazard...
Would you remove one of these for Erikson chaps?? If so who?
Will lose .5 on Sanchez lose .1 on Hazard. Plus would be for a -4!!
taAnyone? Tough call I know.
Ozil or Sanchez must go............ozil
Esh.. thks bro.
No don't transfer (now do mine!)
Transfers all done.
Foster
Clyne, Berty, Bellerin
Hazard, Silva, Eriksen, Sanchez,
Kane, Aguero, Austin
(McCarthy, Zouma, JWP, PVA)I finally had the balls to ditch Alexis. Did Sanchez > Eriksen. Massive Sanchez haul incoming.
Eeek! good luck brother.
Do you have any other Arsenal mids?
Ozil + Giroud
pondering the same - not so worried about wpr, but I'd more worrying not being able to captain him for WHU next GW
*qpr
Thanks. Will keep him now.
Done the same 😎
How many people going into dgw with just Kane and eriksen, is it enough? Worth doing Giroud to Austin as well?
Kane and Eriksen are enough imo
Which combo would you rather have from GW29 onwards?
A) Cazorla and Costa
B) Sanchez and Austin and £1.8m extra in bankB if it means you could have Ivan maybe.
B
Thx, reasoning?
Double for Austin Suspension tightrope for Costa
You misread the question slightly mate, I'm getting Austin this week for the DGW, just wondering what to do with him the week after and onwards.
🙂 Not sure how I would know that from your post but anyway... Depends how he does over the next 2 re austin. Costa reasoning stands.
I said from GW29 onwards. The DGW is GW28, 29 is the one after 🙂
I kinda can't do that in terms of keeping an eye on Austin, because I'm considering doing Sanchez>Eriksen leaving £4-5m in the bank for Austin>Costa before GW29. So I'd do that barring any injuries, but I need to decide before Tuesday
just back from day in pub. what a day of sport, enjoyed that no end. had a meal after the game in a very modest restaurant, and Bono was at the table next to us. he even wars stupid glasses when out with his family 🙂
Southpark
I think he has to because of his Glaucoma
Is being able to play Vertonghen over Bellerin (qpr) worth using a FT?
Not sure on that.. Marginal. Means keeping Vert for a while, happy to do that if so then may as well have a crack for the double I guess.
I'd want Bertrand rather than Vert after next gw, so not sure if it's worth it or not
8 points max I reckon for spuds defense if that helps.
Might just get Bertrand, almost everyone will be playing a Saints defender
I have 1FT - any suggestions?
Pants
Bellerin, Rose, Bruce
Silva, Sanchez, Sterling, Hazard,
Kane, Aguero, RooneyAnyone 🙁
subs?
Hamer, PVA, Puncheon, McShane
If you dont want erikson.. Hold.
No Brom defender?
Sanchez to Eriksen?
Real 1-1 with Villareal
That's it. After watching an exciting real Madrid vs. Villarreal, and reading 15 or so pages of forums, I've made my moves. One ft and one minus four hit:
Defoe to Austin
Cazorla to Eriksen
GW28:
Panti (Heaton)
Bertrand, Bellerin, Baines*, Dawson, Baird
Sanchez, Silva, Eriksen, Hazard, (Boyd)
Kane (c), Kun, Austin
0.9 itb
Got more work to do in gw29 regarding Baines, but for now I'll play him, and if he is out, Dawson will come off bench.Very similar situation, and thinking about making the same moves.
Play 3 for next week
A) Terry
B) Koscielny
C) Fonte
D) Wollscheid
E) Pva
Currently A,B and C playingAgreed
Anyone thought about getting Eriksen in this week?
I don't think it has been mentioned
Problem is it's still been more entertaining on here than the Monaco vs PSG game...
Which team does he play for?
Everyone doing their transfers for next week tonight then?
tempted to do no transfers
Or sell Kane. That is the ultimate differential this week
Yes because of price changes.

Is Dier pretty much nailed on for the two games? Seems to have been playing lately.
I would think so, but Fazio could easily end up playing one of them.
Thanks

Any ideas?
ThanksAnother day, another Monaco clean sheet. 0-0 with PSG, who fail to capitalise on Lyon slipping up.
Sorry

French league sucks.Robbie Savage agrees with this
You don't sound bitter at all 😉
😉
Best to get rid of Caz over Sanchez yes?
Yes imo, but maybe both. Thoughts on my plans below please?
Yep
id keep sanchez
Yes, unless you can do a lot with the extra cash....
Slightly hijacking BAPS and doing a cheeky re-post, but....
So I was planning Cazorla > Eriksen for the DGW, as well as the obvious Defoe > Austin, but after today I'm thinking of changing Sanchez instead of Caz.
It would also give me the money to do Austin > Costa for GW29. Make sense or stick with original plan to ship Cazorla?I think it could go either way so go with your gut.
I'm leaning that way though Sanchez may go as well in a couple of weeks
Giroud + Mane > Austin + Eriksen for a hit?
or just Giroud > Austin?I wouldn't do either tbh.
9 years, 3 months ago
Here goes. So I destroyed my team last month on the WCS with the foolish notion that I should go for broke and not be content to methodically move up from 6k to 2-3k if I shored up my fairly template squad. As most would have predicted, I have freefallen to just inside 40k.
Don't even know what my goals are anymore, but I am now thinking that my plan all along to bring Kane in and captain him makes no sense if I want a dramatic rise up the ranks. I would imagine that at least 25-30k of the people ahead of me will captain him, so I might skip him completely and captain Austin while bringing in three other nonKane Spurs.
It's like I have enough chips left to play the blinds but nothing more, and I might as well make some all in moves to see if I can build up some cash.
For many of you this will be upsetting, but any thoughts on risk would be appreciated.
