Re: Which team do you like best and why?
Is that Bennett of Cardiff or Wolves in Team A?
I don't like Moura or Giroud in Team A, and if it's the Cardiff Bennett, I don't like him either.
I quite like Team B. I wouldn't be comfortable doubling up on Fulham ( no preference on Schurlle or Mitro just wouldn't want both) and I would personally prefer Aguero to Kane, but overall like it.
Team B for me.

I think there both pretty poor mate. No Laporte?
I think your whole mindset is wrong. The value is in premium defenders

Re: Which team do you like best and why?
I don’t think you’ve utilised the fact you’ve got a really cheap defence that well.
Premium defenders are racking up the points so if you swerve them then you need to really squeeze the best of the best in. Can’t say double Fulham is really doing that.
Edited mistakenly thought one team didn’t have hazard.
PS team B the best of these 2

Thanks guys. Team A belongs to the first person on the leaderboard without the private option set. Team B is mine.
Just going to read through some comments and reply to them.

I'm not keen on Schurrle and Mitrovic but with Schurlle at almost 6ppm and Mitrovic over 6ppm i'm struggling to let them go. Maybe let Schurlle go for Laporte when Fulham have a difficult run of fixtures. Not keen on Aguero as i'll be squeezing KDB in somehow.

Re: Which team do you like best and why?
Double Fulham have high ppm. I have to admit i don't like having both and i wanted to dump Schurrle but he then went and scored and three out of their 4 next games look like good points scoring games. So they are both held until after the 24th Nov.Buffrey wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 13:32 I don’t think you’ve utilised the fact you’ve got a really cheap defence that well.

Re: Which team do you like best and why?
When i looked through players stats today the only stand out move i saw for my team was Schurrle to Laporte
However, when you look at the fixtures i fancy Schurrle to get more points than Laporte over the next 4 games :-
Schurrle
H Bourn
A Hudd
A Liver
H South
Laporte
A Tott
H South
H Man U
A West H
It's going to sound crazy asI know everyone says my team is crap but i really can't see anything that stands out as a transfer that will improve my team.

Re: Which team do you like best and why?
So if Laporte gets two clean sheets in next four and concededs 1 in other two. Presume passing T2 in all four that’s 30 points in four games. How many points will schurell get? 14 assuming he stats all four and gets one goal. Even two goals would only be 20 points.

Re: Which team do you like best and why?
I'd probably have more of a case if i didn't have Mitrovic and Schurrle had be captain on the 5th Nov. But i'm just of the opinion the difference isn't going to be worth a transfer over the next 4 games.mad dog wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 16:09 So if Laporte gets two clean sheets in next four and concededs 1 in other two.

Re: Which team do you like best and why?
Not worried about it, just wanted to see what peoples thoughts were before they knew who's teams they were. I'm thinking there's some bias into slagging my teams off just for the sake of itYorkshire Exile wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 16:19Can't see that anyone with their team open on leader board is going to be a threat.itslikebrandnew wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 14:00 Thanks guys.

Re: Which team do you like best and why?
You keep posted asking for advice then don't take it or don't like it.....
Differential picks can help you jump quickly but can also hammer you..... With the team you have got I suspect weeks will be either feast or famine...
You are in a good position.... How many transfers?

Re: Which team do you like best and why?
Defenders can obviously be of value as is shown by the best scoring defender having 76 points whilst the best scoring forward has 64 and costs 4 million more. Where it gets complicated for me is captaincy. I always feel as if I should be captaining a forward or midfielder rather than a defender. I suppose mix and balance is the way forward it's just that I haven't got the right mix or balance yet.

Re: Which team do you like best and why?
Some of the advice i dont even understand. I keep getting told the value is in the premium defenders but no one cares to elaberate other than Laporte. The rest aren't better than mine are they?Yorkshire Exile wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 16:38 You keep posted asking for advice then don't take it or don't like it.....

I'm in the top 300 with 30 transfers left.

Re: Which team do you like best and why?
Captaincy for me wherever possible goes on a premium mid or striker. That's where they make their shortfall of points per million up and become more "valuable".Spinynorman wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 17:41 Defenders can obviously be of value as is shown by the best scoring defender having 76 points whilst the best scoring forward has 64 and costs 4 million more.

Re: Which team do you like best and why?
Should be decent, as i took the advice of using around 1 transfer a week.

Re: Which team do you like best and why?
To be honest. If you switched Schurrle for laporte and have a decent ozil/mitro edit plan your team isn’t actually pretty good.
The defenders people are referring to are those that pick up bonus and play for premium clean sheet getting teams, namely Robertson, luiz, even Gomez and VVD.
Basically Liverpool or Chelsea. With no Alisson as well any Liverpool clean sheet will hurt you if you don’t make it up with your other selections.

Re: Which team do you like best and why?
Schurrle for Laporte is in 4 games time. Mitro goes on the 25th Nov, Ozil.....well you can't plan much with him as you never know what you get from one game to the next. Was worth the transfer though as got 36pts off him and he gets another go at being captain for me again this Sunday.Buffrey wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 20:49 To be honest.
