Re: If we had an overhaul now
Thank you for the kind invitation to pick holes in your latest offerings, but, quite frankly, I think that it would be easier to try and mend a tea bag.itslikebrandnew wrote: ↑12 Oct 2018, 09:13 GK Ryan 6.5

I also think that it's best to accentuate the positives in these situations:
Boly
Doherty
Hazard
Salah
Overall comedy value

By 'Christ' Yorkie are you advocating the selection of Gabriel Jesus? In fairness, he would probably improve that team.Yorkshire Exile wrote: ↑12 Oct 2018, 09:17Christitslikebrandnew wrote: ↑12 Oct 2018, 09:13 GK Ryan 6.5

Furthermore, is the passing bonus machine that you're referring to Aymeric Laporte that £8.8m defender? You had me frantically logging into Sky trying to find this notional £7.8m bargain that I didn't know about

I don't know which religion he subscribes to but one with multiple deities probably needed if that the team he seeks.....

Flippin' 'eck. First we have a hypothetical situation, assuming a current overhaul, then we see a couple of teams which other posters suggest leave a lot to be desired, and now we are seeking to further build this house of cards.

Re: If we had an overhaul now
so all laugh at me and then hide from a challenge.
just something simple like 5 gameweeks and 5 transfers, then it won't take up too much time.
My team is supposedly that bad that whoever goes up against me would only have to list their captains every week and wouldnt even need to do any transfers.
I've no problem keeping track of the scoring if people don't have alot of spare time.

You're quite correct in that it wouldn't be fair to dish it out without being prepared to take it.itslikebrandnew wrote: ↑12 Oct 2018, 20:09so all laugh at me and then hide from a challenge.

Here's my team:
Alisson 7.3
Laporte 8.8
Boly 6.1
Doherty 6.5
Otto 6.2
Hazard 11.8
Richarlison 8.6
Seri 7.1
Kane 13.0
Salah 12.9
Lacazette 11.4
Captains: Sky round 11
Sat: Salah
Sun: Richarlison
Mon: Lacazette
Open to amendment in the event of injuries during the International Break?
How about we play until the Year End - December 30th being the last set of matches?
That takes in 13 rounds, so on a pro rata basis, 12 transfers would seem about right.

Re: If we had an overhaul now
Nice one Gooner. Sure we'll go to Dec 30th with 12 transfers. Unlimited transfers until the first match kicks off next Saturday just like the usual overhaul rules and we have to post all our changes on this thread before first kick off of the day.

Indeed he is, thank you.
Not troubling me as much as Liverpool's upcoming happy little sequence of fixtures against a backdrop of all sorts of injury uncertainties.

Re: If we had an overhaul now
No worries......don't want any excuses when you lose
There's potentially alot of points at stake with Liverpool and getting it wrong could prove very costly. My 2 teams i had Salah ready to come in and be captain. I really can't risk it if he doesn't play as zero for a captain would be a big spanner in the works.

You've potentially got a very exciting/potent midfield there.
