I normally play the percentages and would captain Kane... But Sometimes you have to go a bit left field.

itslikebrandnew wrote: 02 Sep 2018, 18:00 Well that was a disaster of a weekend for T1, at least i didnt captain Pogba or that would have been -2 pts :lol: , Morrison got me 6pts but Shaw could have got me 12. In total 38pts for the week

T2 got me 58pts.

I suppose i can take a positive out of it that i didnt bring in Kane.
I did bring Kane in for Insurance purposes. (Transfer number 1) and Captained him.

My only other player playing was De Gea. So I'm 5 pts down and 1 transfer down on that move.

The way I see it is that Although I'm 5pts down, I protected myself against a Kane big haul and the De Gea CS will hopefully see an upward move tonight.

It was the right move for you, but just didnt work out. Besides only 1 transfer down is pretty good going.


I've got to work a bit more on my teams, it's alright having all these big hitters but i need a few players that will keep me ticking over on bad weeks.

Only Lukaku brought home decent points for me. Abysmal returns from Salah and Kane. :roll:

Top 4000 t1, Top 2000 t2.....only a week or so ago t1 was in the top 800 and t2 was hanging around 38000 so it's a fairly big swing.

The difference with the teams is t1 i went for the big hitters and t2 i have a more balanced side.

This has really given me something to think about with the overhaul.

Those are good positions. I pace myself against some of the top players in a couple of Leagues I am in. I’m around 3700 ish place and Am just behind the winner from two years ago and I am slightly in front of last years winner. I would say there are teams around 400 Pts who have used few transfers. Those near to 500pts will have used a lot of transfers. The Fantasy Football Scout website last week indicated that the top 10 had used 12 transfers on average and the top 100, 8 transfers on average.

I agree. I think the game has changed significantly from 2 seasons ago.
Last year I found it very difficult to move from what I have always felt was the 'template' formation in the sky game (3-4-3) with a cheap defence and 3 big hitters up front.
This year again I have started with Kane, Aggro, and Salah up top. Fairly happy with my start (apart from a pretty awful week this week) however I'm pretty sure 5-3-2 or 4-4-2 has to be the way to go. But who to leave out up top. At the moment I'm edging towards salah :shock:

Think the pricing this year and Salah as a forward makes for a very interesting game

How many have you used?

Dropped from around 500th to 1500th this weekend but I think its a decent start with only 1 transfer used.

Pogba captain today and had a strong urge to bring in Aubameyang and captain him but held off. I dont think it was necessarily a bad decision as I didn't want to use a transfer for the sake of 1 match with the wildcard rd imminent.

Would you mind linking to where you saw that on the site? I noticed Luke isn't doing his weekly articles anymore. Thought FFS had stopped covering Sky.

Thanks, made a few mistakes by not playing it safe and going with guaranteed starters.

I'm missing out not being in a league with top players as positions of the top players is really useful information to have.

4 transfers. I had a similar urge to bring in someone but just couldnt see anyone scoring 20+ pts. Ruled out Lukaku as Man U have been dreadful, ruled out Aubameyang / Lacazette as i thought Cardiff would keep it tight.

I think it depends on what you do with that transfer. If you use it to bring in someone later in the season who scores a hat-trick then it's great.

You can follow Dan's progress (winner season before last) on Fantasy Football Hub. Not sure if those articles are behind a pay wall or not.
