No need for this, no need to bite. I like what you did. You took a chance and then came here to get advice on how extend it and keep it going. Very smart in my opinion. There are people here who have been playing this game for years and know every corner of it. The fact you that have people like Edmondson (who in my opinion is very intelligent) and Zimmerman posting here proves you did the right thing in making the thread. I like the way Zimmerman gives advice, he doesn't try and shove down your throat what he thinks, he explains the potential pitfalls or positives as he sees them and gives you options.

Sure you attracted some negative posting but you handled it canny well, don't get sucked into a pissing contest.

I apologise if this sounds patronising but i think you are a good poster so don't get drawn into bragging. I like that you stick to discussing the game and strategy. The fact that other people are willing to discuss strategy means i can't be the only one that thinks that. Ignore anyone who is winding you up - either intentionally or unintentionally. Remember that you came here for advice and to share your opinion and experiences

Stick to your plan ItsLikeBrandNew and keep going.

It's probably worth noting that the majority of these experts have never won f**k all in all the years of bestowing their sagelike opinions.

Many of the main managers who have won plenty of cash in all different games can't be arsed to come on here for the above reason but some of them do find it very amusing reading their total bs.

Yeah keep it going, you're half way there to getting an okay team 8-) Another couple of months or so and you've cracked it I reckon.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Good news on the Willian side of things today for my team as he starts. Whether than means Hazard runs riot in the cup game rather than Willian remains to be seen.

Looks like i mistimed Zappacosta in a couple of my teams.

This is my top team now :-

Lossl
Zappacosta
Hegazi
Stones
Valencia
Eriksen
Salah
De Bruyne
Firmino
Lukaku
Jesus

and 3.7m in the bank.

But i'll keep the thread alive with the Huddersfield one even if we sink without a trace.

Lol it's only working at half volume. If Jesus gets a hat-trick and Hudderfield get a clean sheet then you'll need some ear protectors :lol:

68 points so far with my Huddersfield players getting 28pts. However when you see Jesus getting a big fat ZERO and Morata gets 28 points on his own it's not that good.

Can't afford a striker to be sitting on the bench. Not sure i can see a direct replacement for him at the moment. Too many question marks over top players still

This weekend Huddersfield are at home to Spurs so it's getting towards the time to get rid of my Huddersfield defenders. However due to some poor management :lol: i'm still left with players in other areas not performing.

So if Huddersfield dont get a thrashing then my defenders stay for another month and the front six will be :-

Salah
Eriksen
Willian = Hazard / Coutinho / Mane
Kane
Lukaku
Jesus = Aguero / Sanchez / Morata

I'm on 468 points so figure my best chance of clawing a few points back is have big hitters in the front 6 rather than waste transfers on swapping bargain basement defenders about.

Team went up another 2m this week so now at 58.7m. Willian down again and is costing me alot in terms of budget and points. Luckily no change for Jesus.

Overall happy with the team value, disappointed now with the points. Could of done with being 50pts closer.

Is that your team value mate or does it also include money in the bank.?

It includes 4.9m in the bank mate. I've tried to keep as much back as possible so when it's time to get in a top quality player it doesnt cost me 2 transfers because of a lack of funds. Once we get the October transfers i'll be bringing in 2 big hitters and then i'll have no cash.

Looking like game over for this team. The only good thing is that my Spurs players got 21pts so that limits the damage of -12 for my Huddersfield players.

Lossl and Lowe are Sunday morning players. They were dreadful

Yep Blockhead, they can't score and the only thing keeping them going was a decent defence (looking at goals conceded before todays match).

In hindsight the clues were there with the low scores from whoscored for players like Lossl.

I'll still continue this thread, to see if i can salvage anything from this team. Also it will come in handy for next season as research as to where i went wrong.

There's plenty more than that to add to the list. But yes i should of probably of had a decent mid and striker to start with.

What you going to do now?

That is only one match and it could hardly have come as a surprise. It sounds like you are throwing in the towel. You said you were going to leave Lossi in anyway because goalkeepers don't score many points anyway. Are you still going to do that? Are you going to keep Schindler? He actually looks decent and played well. So that is two Huddesfield players to stay in for a bit. Also there are three fixtures in the next two months they could still pick up points in October they have Swansea and the start of November they have WBA and Bournemouth. You could keep your Huddersfield defenders until them until mid November or only jettison some of them.

Don't give up yet. I wouldn't. I will be honest you are going to be in for a couple of rough months but you said you looked months in advance anyway and this team might still perform well overall.

No point going on about what you should have done, since you were advised to gradually beef up your midfield and forwards before you got to this point and you didn't do it but what is your current team and do you have any transfers left?

I'm going to use my October transfers as soon as they are available as i'm out of transfers.

It came as a suprise just how poorly they defended. I thought at worst they would lose 2-0

Keeper has to stay, even though i dont rate him at all in the 2 games i've seen him. Schindler will probably have to stay as well.

I'm going to bring in the big guns, Hazard, Coutinho, Sanchez (2 from 3).

Btw i did do what i was advised and bought in Kane and Eriksen, i just didn't have enough transfers left to change things in time.

What is the team as it stands mate?

I would bring in Sanchez and Coutinho even without seeing the team but I am interested in how it currently looks.

That isn't even a bad team with a nice amount in the bank. There are loads of options. I am watching the city vs chelsea match. I will post more when it finishes.

That would be the sensible option, but i'm not sure i can find 2 heavy scoring defenders. So may have to swap out Willian and another player from the front 6 that's underperforming or that has a hard fixture list.

Your weak links look to be the Huddersfield defence and Willian so a consensus of opinion seems be happening in your replies. Replacing to an acceptable defence may even need a 1m to 2m midfielder or something looking at the present prices. So you could replace 2 of them while or later in month perhaps replacing Willian with a cheapie then hope Huddersfield get at least a clean sheet every few games.

Yep but i can't replace my weak links to players everyone else has got or i wont gain points on teams. The way to try to gain points is to create a front 6 not many managers have and just cross my fingers for the back 5 :lol:

There are so many permutations of possibilities just select he strongest players.
