Saturday captains and banter

Man City kept 4 cleansheets in those fixtures last season

It's easy in hindsight to find data that validates your way of thinking.

If i'd have got a few points for saves and a man of the match award for Kapa i'd have pointed out that Man U v Chelsea last season finished 1-1.

Instead i have to deal with the fact Chelsea had more shots on target, more shots off target and more possession but got thrashed 4-0 all because Zouma is about as good as Titus Bramble.

It's a game of slim margins and up until the first goal Chelsea were the better team.

You do take overthinking things to another level mate.

Rashford definitely missing 2 points from somewhere. Two goals and a Tier One shots bonus recorded here: https://www.ffstuff.co.uk/playersskyPts201920.php

Rashford has 14 points - 2 goals and a tier one shot bonus.

Indeed he does. They fixed it at about 11am this morning.

101 points for me, rather pathetic after getting decent scores from captaining Salah and Sterling. Could have transferred to Aubameyang for captain but didnt want to blow 2 transfers.

Playing 4 in midfield and they got 10pts between the lot of them......just not good enough.

Too right, it's a diabolical liberty.

I don't think you should leave it that. You should write to them. For example:

Dear Diego

I made you Captain, I believed in you, and you let me down....badly.

You're a useless **** and a ******* knob

They should write to me asking me not to pick them as i turn them to crap.

Not really, i just try to get an advantage by looking for an alternative to what the majority are doing.

[Maldini]

Exactly.

The majority are doing it for a reason.

You’ve been told this before though so you’re stubborn to the point you’d rather fail than accept you’re wrong.

[rodduz]

Is kind of a flawed approach. Got to so what the masses do basically and make marginally better choices here and there, not do the opposite and hope a miracle happens

Because it's the easy option and doesnt take much thought.

How is what i did hoping for a miracle? I explained beforehand what i was thinking of doing and NOBODY said it was a crap move then. After the event and when things didnt pan out for me everyone acts like i made an idiot choice.

Talk about people being wise after the event.

Oh and we've only played 25% of games so it could still work out for me

Chelsea leaked goals left, right and centre pre-season. They conceded 8 in their final 3 pre-season games to mediocre opposition.

This was a simple move - the keeper who kept the most cleansheets last season gets injured so you bring in the keeper who kept just 1 less cleansheet than him last season.

[itslikebrandnew]

As i say you're being wise after the event and finding any stats that stand up to your point of view.

I too can pick and choose stats. Man City only kept a clean sheet in 1 out of 5 of their last preseason games.

[Maldini]

I can’t help feeling that you’re trolling now.

Nobody is THAT obtuse for real.

[itslikebrandnew]

I'm done with posting on here. There's some real twits on here that just want to single people out and try to piss them off. I aint putting up with a load of people getting on my case for making a transfer that hasnt worked out for 1 game.

I bet CBN didnt get any shit like this and he went for a full chelsea block defence.

Kepa already 10 points down on Ederson - there's no way he's clawing that back before the overhaul. In fact, I only see the margin getting bigger and could be a 20-30 points difference by the overhaul.
