Re: League of 6
I take it whoever is bottom after GW1 is getting Kepa in 1st waiver, even if they don't need him? There's a lot of potential sauce with today's incoming.

The waivers will be competitive no doubt. It's why I intend to sandbag...

Let it never be said that Taivt isn't making full use the trade and waiver facilities, he's putting the rest of us to shame.

So it's now in your own interest to take pity on me as last draftee and trade me Aguero, Salah, Kane and Hazard!

I'll give him Mendy and Robertson if Mav agrees to give him Mahrez and BFM agrees to give him Alonso.
Otherwise I'll just make my peace with only winning a small sum of money.

Re: League of 6
Lovely offer guys, only defence isn't and has never really been the problem here - I was able to pick up a half decent defence picking in last place after the high ticket purchases had already gone!!! Unfortunately my high ticket purchase was De Bruyne Just wait till he stops getting injured and then watch me keep pace rather than catch up!

Re: League of 6
I think having KDB and Jesus is your major squad issue, combined with Alli's recent injury your squad has been a bit thin.
With man utd back in some form and Alli and Son back too I suspect that you'll start climbing anyway.
Would you trade Mahrez for KDB?

Re: League of 6
Jesus is stinking the place out I agree, but I'm sitting on him in the hope Aguero gets injured because the alternatives aren't much cop and probably would just sit on my bench anyway as Jesus does now (I've just brought in Depoitre as the best of a bad bunch to reinforce the point and further reinforce the previous point about no big ticket items being available by the time it got to me).
And to be honest the alternative players in my squad are probably still scoring as well as those that I could bring in for Jesus bar one or two who are currently injured or also rotation risks. But if anyone wants to do a deal with Jesus then I'm all ears!!!
As for KDB, I've held onto him so long now that I'm determined to get something out of him! Don't worry about it - go for the £25 and I'll do my best to catch up with taivt by trading between the two of us so that he and taca can contribute!!!
Suffice to say, my bench order for today is Depoitre, Jesus and KDB so Depoitre covering anyone rested
At least I'll get first option on any new January transfers coming in - hoping for someone to join from outside the prem who can put the ball in the net.

Re: League of 6
Maybe we could work something out where each of the top 3 loan you one player of equivalent potential, for a short while? Kane, Aguero and Sterling something like that, but only until KDB is back or until you catch up within 20 points of 5th, something like that?
That way there's an advantage to you, and to 4th and 5th who can close on the top 3, while none of the top 3 should be disadvantaged against eachother ?

Re: League of 6
That's a good idea, Mav, I'd be up for that. I am loathe to lose Agüero as he's my only premium attacker, but if you and BFM are trading your best premium attackers too then I think it's fair.Mav3rick wrote: ↑03 Nov 2018, 11:36 Maybe we could work something out where each of the top 3 loan you one player of equivalent potential, for a short while?

And Bill, seeing as I'm the leader, I'll make you an additional offer: I'll take De Bruyne off your hands in return for your choice of midfielder from my squad. I will keep De Bruyne in my squad for the duration of his injury and you can have him back when he's fit again, reversing the swap we made. How does that sound?

Re: League of 6
If everyone in the league inc taivt and taca (as they are the ones this has the potential to impact upon) are in agreement then I'll do it, but it sort of doesn't feel right / in keeping with the original intent of the league to be honest if it's a "reluctantly and only until someone else can start paying out then I want them back" trade! And to be honest I'd probably be exactly the same if I'd have been draft number 1 to 4 say and had one of the big 4 or 5.
That probably is the thing that needs adjusting in the rules for next season if this is to continue and retain interest IMO. The money into the pot thing from bottom only was a good idea in theory but in reality has turned out doesn't address the problem it was trying to correct - the one where success is to a certain extent dictated by the luck of your draft position at the start and if you are unlucky you don't get the oppportuntity further down the line to "get your turn" with a top draft. The only way this can be addressed is if you are forced to change in some way and this doesn't force anyone to trade.
It works very well in our TFF Four Full Draft game - every quarter is a brand new draft and the previous snake order is reversed (or shifted on 50%) so those drafting last then get to go first and vice versa giving most the chance to get an Aguero or a Salah at some point. Obviously some drafts will also be down to luck good or bad
Unfortunately in FPL you can't reverse previous draft orders; it is random every time, so I'm not sure what the answer is tbh unless it was something like top must do 1 trade with bottom of bottom's choice each month, 2nd top must do 1 trade with 2nd bottom of 2nd bottom's choice each month and so on...
Anyway, if we have a unanimous decision then I'll make the changes (or you can accept if I set them up ready?).

Re: League of 6
Can we condiser the rule I suggested before: "After each GW, every team have to transfer out 1 (or maybe 2 if we agree) of highest point players of his team in the GW to the market via waivers or free agents (not trades)". These players will miss next GW and only available in next GW waiver window. This will make transfers more interesting (like a mini-draft). The bottom teams will have chances to pick good players and the top team also have the decent ones --> this will be more competitive.

Re: League of 6
It would be impossible to enforce this unfortunately Taivt, though I agree with the principle, it would make for a better competition.
I'm very much against changing the rules half way through a competition, especially as there's money involved.

Re: League of 6
I stand to lose Kane going into the GW15 fixture swings? No thanks. That might benefit PB cementing his 70 point lead but it isn't going to help me catch him? And if I stay 3rd am I going to have to keep losing my best player(s) to get Taivt off the bottom after and Taca bottom after that? It seems to me this idea just enables the existing leader cement his place and increase his pot. And what are you going to do to get me to hit the bottom after that? I dont see this idea having been thought out in anymore than the very short term.
