Team Coverage

Post by RickyRosa »

Just interested in people's team coverage, particularly defences and wondering if peops commited to mainly one team or if coverage was spread across many

Also, did any one leave registering any teams for the city game? I gave left one but after seeing the Mane show think that may have been an error....was thinking Mahrez might not start....

My defensive coverage a follows....

2 x Man U
2 x Spurs
2 x Chelsea
1 x Liverpool
2 x Burley
1 x Man City or Arsenal

If you were me would you register a city or arsenal defence?

10 Liverpool blocks here :mrgreen:

You've nothing to lose by throwing a full city team in at this point. Include an enabler that impressed you over the weekend.

One Liverpool block and one City block not yet entered (so no Mane or Salah points)? You've got to be trolling again Ricky.

My strategy:

1 x Liv/City mix
3 x City
3 x Liverpool
1 x Chelsea
1 x Tottenham
1 x United

All full blocks.

Made sense to me to focus heavily on the two teams expected to dominate.

No trolling.

Just a potential error.

I have gone arsenal to either compound my mistake or take advantage of everyone else going City!

Fine line between genius and insanity...think this one could leave me with egg on my face again!!!

Interesting minimal Burnley coverage from you guys....extra game and all that, potentially two.

C’mon Arsenal!!!

Super Rambo the Welsh differential FTW!!!!!

Someone posted somewhere that the first Burnley Europa League game doesn't count i.e. the 2nd leg against Istanbul? He rotated full-backs for the 1st leg anyway so a full Burnley block won't be that advantageous even if it does count.

Only the qualifiers count, Blockhead. The play-offs dont count which is what Burnley will be playing when they play the second game against Istanbul team this thursday.

Got Lucky, Changed from 10 x Burnley back 3 to 1.

2.5m Shaw looked too tempting so 10 x Shaw

4 x Part Man City blocks (Guessed right) with Ederson, Stones, Laporte and Mendy.

4 x Part Liverpool blocks with Allison, VVD, TAA and Robertson.

2 x Mixed.

Only defensive player to let me down was DDG in 1 mixed team.

55 to 83pt spread not bad for the 1st week. 8-)

defo think the Thursday game counts guys....

Rules states all CL and EL Games count, means nothing I appreciate, though, unless I have missed a twitter feed or something I take it as the Thursday game Defo counts...

Good news is even if they don't they are a good defensive side....plus I can always switch them to Liverpool or City as very happy with my outfielders at the mo...

3 points have been awarded in the H2H leagues, which signals the end of the game week, just in case anybody needed anymore confirmation that the Burnley game doesn’t count 👍
