Week 2 Captains & Transfers

Post by CptPugwash »

Thought i'd kick this off as ILBN has temporarily gone on strike.

Auba (I think is the better choice, though might swap to Sterling if i lose my nerve.)
Berkley
Martial

Hopefully no more after the Allison :arrow: Ederson move last week.

Think I'll have to roll with Auba after using a transfer to bring him in for Sterling on the Sunday.

I'm forced to go Barkley and Pogba on the other two days. Rashford is the better choice now he's on pens.

Very tempted to do Kane to Sterling in one of my teams. Think City will batter them and Sterling is at least as good a captaincy choice vs Bournemouth the following week as Kane is.

Either way I think I'll probably captain Salah, then Vardy/Maddison (one in each team) and Jota.

I plead with you not to make the Kepa situation worse by giving him the armband. I speak up now so you can't accuse me of being wise after the event :wink:

Andreas Christensen in my T2 is injured, now got to do a transfer with that team. Might do a 2nd transfer if i can free up some cash and bring in a big hitter.

Rolling the dice with T2, instead of transferring out Christensen i'll take a gamble that he plays tomorrow as i can't find a definative answer as to whether he's injured or not and i'll transfer Kane to Aubameyang as i've a gut feeling he'll get 2 goals today.

T1 i'm sticking with Sterling.

Well my gut feeling has picked the worst player on the pitch after 45mins. :(

16pts for Aubameyang, might not have been enough to make that a worthwhile transfer. But at least not a disaster. Plus still have next weeks game against Liverpool who don't look capable of a clean sheet.

Could do with a decent return this weekend from my mids like Siggy who i put in both teams.

I called Liverpool right but unfortunately doesn't help me as i have two Liverpool defenders. Looks like i'm going to regret not going for a block Everton defence.

Ederson letting in a goal is good damage limitation for my Kepa transfer. If i captain him and he gets a clean sheet tomorrow then i'll have more points than going with Ederson.

With Sterling as my T1 captain i'll gain a few points on those that captained Salah.

Garbage midfield yet again apart from KDB in t2.

Down to 8 men this week with no-shows from Gilbert, Stones and Gomez.

Brutal game.

I'm already 100 behind. I've had 3 out of 4 decent captain picks in both my teams and the rest of my team have contributed next to nothing.

Early days, no need to panic yet. No point looking at the leaderboard either - bound to be lots of manager of the month attempts going on up there and you have no idea how many transfers some are burning through.

No panic here but i have got alot of poorly performing players, some of which i don't see performing any better in the next two weeks.

If i see an opportunity to make up 20pts i'll be doing a transfer.

Not a great week so far but hopefully can do OK today and tomorrow plan to not use any transfers before the overhaul is still intact

It will be a low scoring week for most with only Everton having a clean sheet and I can't see many goals from today's games.

Made a transfer today in T1......Barkley to Norwood. Barkley seems to be either a 1 or 2 pointer, Norwood is a guaranteed starter and could possibly get passing/tackling bonuses and is on set pieces so maybe an assist.

It gives me enough spare cash to take out another underperformer later and bring in Kane for a couple of games including against cannon fodder Newcastle.

Captain remains Kepa.

I love people like you in my Leagues. Blowing all their transfers before Easter and even worse pre Overhaul.

Did you follow my advice and join a League to track the top players?

How many transfers will you actually have used by Overhaul?

You not think your sample size is a tad small there? He’s only played one game.

He could do well today.
