where the hell is the wildcard link? dont see it anywhere and i need a big shuffle this is not going well lol.

You only get it when you want to confirm some transfers

My inclination is to say it's a bit early for anything that drastic

On the other hand, the sooner you use it the more advantage you get from all your new players. Or disadvantage if you buy a load of Wenger boys.

In theory yes it is early, however Ive clearly made some glaring mistakes and my ranking is going the wrong way, playing about I want to make 8-9 changes to get things lined up better, doing that a week at a time could leave me completely screwed by then.

i'm doing shite.

Is it not better to do it at this stage of the season when you are probably only say, 30 points behnd the leaders, and opposed to hold it until you are 200 points behind and everyone else has slowly changed ther team so that it is the same as the leaders?

I'm 34 points off the lead, so I think its time to adjust the team according to the last three weeks activity on a wholesale basis and not lose any points, but at the same time put myself ahead of those that will change one player a week to get the same team I have now n 6 weeks.

As such - I am hoping that a midfield of Jarvis, Silva, Young and Mata will support Rooney and Aguero and rock up the points. (oddly, I already had 5 of these players, but had to do some serious defensve shuffling to be able to afford Mata).

 

[Puddy_Tat]

dunno really.

the season I did use the wildcard early (before the end of the transfer window) I ended up with about 4 players who promptly got injured, 2 who got transfers out of the English premier league on deadline day, and 1 who fell out with his manager and got shoved into the reserves.

my fantasy football has gone all arsene in a curious coincidence...

mata's a bit of a risk isnt he? not many players box-fresh to the prem adapt quickly (aguero's a rare exception)

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm gonna wait until the window closes at least before I play my wildcard.

So, tomorrow then

 

[gabi]

Rooney seems to have been given another assist in the last few hours. I'm up to 83 points on the week!

 

[starfish]

Pretty good week, 80 points but still got gubbed in the HtoH league .

 

[Me76]

Bugger. I just mindlessly followed the reminder from my calendar and made a transfer before remembering it's not on this week. Nobody better get injured between now and the next game week

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aye, I almost made my transfer this morning before just realising in time. Now you get the true experience of being a club manager on internationals weekend

*not like*

 

[marty21]

me too, 79th place

 

[newme]

Well not a great week, but I went up in all my leagues, 62nd in Urban or something now lol, 20 something in H2H, just used my wildcard and made 9 changes, will see how that works out now lol.

 

[gabi]

you should've prolly waited till friday to use the wildcard... (injuries from international duty etc)

There is that, however based on previous experience of forgetting to choose/change team on fridays Im better off doing it now then completely forgetting.

I think he has the potential to be devastating. He only had 2 training sessions before his 20 minute cameo against Norwich and displayed a fantastic range of short quick passing and movement off the ball. And scored. He's also Spanish, and it looks like AVB has been told/decided to build the team in order to support Torres. The other signing he has made (Oriol Romeu) is Spanish also, and Meireles used to play under AVB at Porto. Add in Modric in January, and thats a very handy midfield, all used to playing short plassing football - Romeu as the holding midfielder and then Mata, Mereiles and Modric.

Still thats the joy of FFL - we can all pontificate for hours about who we think is the best team

 

[gabi]

theres always a key player. a couple of seasons ago it was fabregas, before that drogba. this year it's definitely rooney. he looks unplayable at the moment, and guaranteed selection.

 

[big eejit]

Just played my wildcard. Some major bandwagon jumping going on. My team now contains half the population of Alderley Edge.

 

[rekil]

Feck off Ruiney.

 

[butchersapron]

I played my wildcard, it wasn't recorded and i'm now going to lose my head to head as result. Thieves.

 

[gabi]

totally forgot to change my team this weekend. kept rooney as captain. fuck.

 

[rekil]

Are you Max Holz Mr.B? I brought Rooney in now. He'll probably get both legs broken next week.

That's i. Rooney is the one to sell people to get right now.

 

[rekil]

100% H2h record for me then ta.

 

[butchersapron]

that's you is it? Saved by that penalty save - wait til the boni go in, if i get 3 for rooney, 2 for nani and you get FA for silva and dempsey doesn't play, you're in real trouble. PLus Newcastle clean sheet, 12 more...

 

[rekil]

Bah, I was off taunting your fans at the corner flag and all, I might need Hangeland to score from a Dempsey corner or something then. Silva should get a bonus though.

 

[butchersapron]

Fuck, missed Hangeland, game back on...
