I need to take this game seriously

Post by itslikebrandnew »

Normally spend 99% of my time with Sky and 1% on dreamteam but find myself inside the top 1700.

My team is

Ederson
Mendy
Stevens
Baldock
Sterling
KDB
Rodri
Fernandinho
Aguero
Salah
Kane

1 transfer left and no money in the bank. Anything i can do to improve my team or is this going to be another team to slip into the abyss in a few weeks time.

Awful side, with zero chance.

Stick to Sky would be my advice.

Such great advice as we now typically expect from this forum.
Can we not just give advice in a nice way without be so eff sarcastic?
I'm sure what they meant to say was you probably need to address boldock, Stevens, rodri, fern and Mendy is probably very risky.

Sure they also meant to congratulate you on a great start but probably forgot in their haste to post a sarky response :D

Tbf if like most you enter the full 10 teams- 1,700th place is nothing of note.
Surely with the obvious need of quick and indeed many transfers; any form of plaudits would be a little far fetched.

Sometimes honesty is the best policy.

Here we go, love the way you all stick together on here, nobody dare question one of their own, don't infiltrate the secret circle.

1,700 is a decent start, don't matter if you've got 1 team or 10.

You can be honest in a polite way without taking the piss.

Wonder if this will get me another ban, we can't have people speaking the truth or dare to question one of the regulars on here, heaven forbid

I have no idea what Toffeeman is reading into this.

Not sarky, it was advice that was 100% accurate, don’t think it was particularly rude.

To start a new thread with a side, suggesting it’s in with a shout, but with 5 really bad picks to sort out, is there really any need to unpick it politely, suggesting x, y and z maybe not the best pick because they are a holding midfielder etc.

It needed nipping in the bud. That team has no chance. Nobody of sane mind would disagree with that.

eff sake Toffee, 1st reply was brutal (as I posted) but a reality check.

Anyway I’m just getting my coat on to meet Edmo and the gang down the horse and feathers 🙄

Maybe just maybe when people (or a larger percentage of people) don’t agree with you it’s not because they’re in a gang but they just see the point more often than not.

Hey ho.

Post them up Backlash and we can offer up some advice.

We used to have some decent threads with the forum taking over the management of a members high flying side.

Keep all the City until end of October. Start work on a plan to bin the Blades defenders (horrendous fixtures coming) - may need to involve diluting Salah.

Your right Edmo, must just be me that is taking your reply as pisstaking and sarcastic that in my view has become synonymous with this forum over the years.

I think your missing the point, why didn't you just tell him which players he needed to look at in a nicer way.

We all know that your analysis is correct maybe I'm just a nicer person than you, maybe it's just your sense of humour.

Thanks so much for pointing that out backlash.

Slightly patronising and again very sarcastic. At least it's in keeping with the original post that I referred to

Fair point, genuinely I didn’t offer a player by player advice (as CBN has tried to do), because I read the opening post as almost saying “is this any good or shall I just write it off” and my simple advice was the latter. If he’s more into Sky, then don’t get distracted thinking you can polish up that side. Secondly I genuinely wouldn’t know where to start. CBN is saying keep city players due to fixtures but 2 holding mids, with one at centre back...?!? But I can’t think of anything better.

I think the position in 1,700th is decent, but the line up is the most relevant, that position is unsustainable IMHO over the next few weeks and months, there will be some decent sides swarming around and below.

Don't beat yourself up about 1700th, it's not great but you can still recover.

I would ditch Fernandinho.... for Godfrey. Then going into next month you'll have spare cash to make your team less shit.

I don't mind no congratulations as a a decent start means nothing if i can't follow it up. It does get annoying that certain people just want to be obnoxious if you don't play the game exactly how they do.

Yep it is. That season i couldn't swap from Huddersfield to players in Europe in time. This season i've mostly players in Europe.

Thanks CBN......at least someone who may think my team is crap but will at least offer advice on how to improve it.

You'd think all these other experts who think my team is so crap could easily improve it.

When i looked at my team today i thought Stevens out first as at least he gives me enough cash to give me a choice. Then next month Baldock and a striker out.

I didn't think i had 5 bad picks especially with Man City having some really decent fixtures.
