Iakona 2,260 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Is this generally a decent time to use your wildcard?Depends if you're happy with your team or not..But generally speaking now that the transfer window is closed it's a good time. It gives you unlimited transfers until next Saturday.. so if you build a new team tonight but then you then decide you don't like it tomorrow you're free to go back in and change it again.You will also get a wildcard in January, however that one can only be played during the January transfer window.

I'm not sure if that warrants playing a wildcard or not though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,789 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 If I play my wildcard I could make the following changesCameron - ShawcrossVlaar - LovrenHenderson - Noble (unsure on this one)Sterling - MataEriksen - RamseyRooney - CostaLukaku - Jelavic And still have 1.2 million in the bank too.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,789 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Can anybody give me some advice on defenders.At the moment I have Shawcross, Ivanovic, Lovren, Janmaat & Caulker, but I think I could make a couple of changes and get better guys who will score more points.I also have 0.5 million in the bank.I think Phil Jones is worth putting in (5.4 million). He's not a good player but with his versatility he will probably play a lot and Man Utd will keep a lot more clean sheets than a mid table club with a better player will so I would expect him to score between 100-125 points over the course of the season.

Chambers is good value especially if Debuchy is out. Blackett is good value providing LVG doesn't drop him and for this weekend Dier of Spurs who are at home to West Bromwich I think could be capable of a clean sheet and/or a cheeky goal.

Blackett is good value providing LVG doesn't drop him and for this weekend Dier of Spurs who are at home to West Bromwich I think could be capable of a clean sheet and/or a cheeky goal.I thought about sticking Dier in this week but i'm keeping my transfer for next weekend so I can do a bit of wheeling/dealing and make a couple of changes.As for Janmaat & Lovren, they are the two who I am mostly concerned about. Newcastle are absolutely awful at the moment and Liverpool are just too weak at that back, partly because of the style of football that they play even if I do think Lovren is a good player.Chambers is a good shout for much the same reason as I think Jones would be, his versatility is going to help him play a lot of games over the season. Those two in for Janmaat & Lovren would be a decent start.To me, defenders are a tricky one because I think they are a lot more interchangeable with each other than midfielders and strikers are. Most teams from 8th-15th will concede a similar number of goals each season and very few centre halves score or assist more than a couple whereas a midfielder can be playing out of his skin and a striker can be on a hot scoring run.

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 5 points for me today Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,789 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Such a poor week so far.Costa better contribute today Everybody seems to have had a stinker this week.I thought my 33 points was shite (with Ivanovic, Costa & Cesc still to play) until I seen that the average is only something like 16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,789 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Picked Shawcross over Caulker in my line up this week. Shawcross got 0 points, Caulker got 9 I can put Chambers & Clyne in for Janmaat & Lovren and up my money in the bank to 1.2 million which I can then use to replace Naismith & Krul over the next couple of weeks.This constant wheeling and dealing is making me feel like Harry Redknapp Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,789 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 If a player is injured but you put him in your starting 11 so they just auto sub him out for your first sub who did play? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if your injured player is a defender, your first sub is a striker or midfielder and you start with 3 at the back your auto sub will be your first defender sub as you can't have 2 at the back, if all that makes sense!

With West Ham being more likely to get a result against QPR than Arsenal are to get one at Chelsea I picked him ahead of Welbeck this week but he's out injured so it looks like Welbeck will be auto subbed in anyway.

aird 3,775 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Finally had a decent weekend!Only had Sigurdsson, Sterling and Henderson playing yesterday and got 28pts.Then today came along and so far i've picked up 50 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,789 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Much better from me this week.I got 60 points this week.My defence is still not doing enough though. Shawcross, Lovern & Caulker are in teams who concede too many goals for them to earn good points so I'm relying Ivanovic in that regard just now.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,789 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I got just over 60. I need to replace Begovic, but unsure who to bring in...I have Begovic & Krul at the moment. There doesn't seem to be many teams who are keeping a lot of clean sheets just now so I'm not sure if changing keepers is going to make too much of a difference. The majority of them are on pretty similar points.I think my transfer this week is going to be Sterling out for DiMaria and then I'll build up a couple so I can bin Lovren & Caulker in one go and bring a couple of better players in.I've also got my eye on Jelavic for either Ulloa or Welbeck too.You wouldn't think I played my wildcard two weeks ago with the amount of changes I'm looking to make Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
