WC played, my last minute switch to Vardy on the first day of the season has been a disaster

I've done you twice already.

All in the eyes,

i just bought Bentekie for 7.4 mil could be a really good move
or maybe not all my players are playing at home bar one so
could be a great week for me

Yeah that could work out nicely. V difficult to bring in if you have the standard Aguero / Ibra line-up, so should be a nice differential to begin with. Expected to start on Saturday?

 

[AverageJoe]

He'll come off the bench

 

[passenger]

he played at home to Blackpool looked in good condition and played well
if he comes and gets a couple or even stats i got ibra as captain palace are
well over due a good win

Do free transfers get added each week? I want to switch a player but he's 0.1m more than my current player, so I'll need to switch two out to get him.

It'll cost me 4pts to do the switch with only 1 free transfer, but I don't think he would be worth +4pts this week so if you get them every week I'll wait.

You can carry one free transfer over, so if you wait a week you'd have two. Can only ever have two max though.

 

[butchersapron]

+yes, you are given a free one each week.

Of course his price might have gone up if you wait and the price of the player you want to sell might have gone down. Such is the fiendishness of this game.

Yup; if I'd done my transfers before last Friday's match started I would have been able to do a straight swap, Vardy for Ibra. Left it, Ibra's price went up £0.1m, everything fell apart

 

[starfish]

Coutinho in Alli out. My first transfer of the season.

 

[Fez909]

Coutinho in Alli out. My first transfer of the season.

He's injured isn't he?

 

[starfish]

He's injured isn't he?

Im bloody sure he wasnt last night when i did it. 75% chance of playing though which means he should play. Bloody better

 

[big eejit]

Couthino starts

So does Alli though - so it'll be interesting to see who scores more!

 

[butchersapron]

I did a last minute cpt switch to hazard from aguero on the basis that my opponent has only the latter and everyone will probably be captaining him. Hazard offering a bit of differential. Not sure about that now

 

[Fez909]

Fuck. I switched him out because I was sure they weren't going to risk him.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Already changed two players this season - Wijnaldum in for Ayew who got injured. And De Gea in for Cech, at least for now. And finally made Ibra captain

 

[Lord Camomile]

Guess who brought Walker in for Alderweireld

 

[butchersapron]

Hitler?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Exactly.

As he did it he could be heard saying "watch this, he'll be off by the end of the first half, and that's a Nazi Guarantee". Evil bastard.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Apparently the ball going in off the 'keeper's head still counts as a missed penalty.

Cheers, Baines

edit: although it does count as an assist!

 

[butchersapron]

An assist to yourself? Weirdos.

Anyway, reasonably happy.

 

[Fez909]

Surely it's an assist to an own goal if the pentalty is 'missed' but it goes in anyway off the keeper?

Amazing. An own goal, a penalty miss and an assist in one shot

(I know it's not really counted as an own goal)

I've had a bad Saturday and could lose another head to head I've got 5 players playing today though and my opponent only has two, and they're attacker and defender on opposite sides. I only have to make up two points so there's a chance!

 

[marty21]

Both my goalies were injured so I had to shift one and buy another . Goalies shouldn't get injured ffs

I think you've missed the fact I've got Aguero as well, and he is my captain.

Damn, I did.

[butchersapron]

Schoolboy errors.

Hey its not over yet, you can still beat me easily.

 

[Fez909]

Not the way boro are playing currently. Need a Negredo goal and it's a proper shit match. Zero shots so far from boro...
