Re: The Secret Tournament
dino's additional reward looks to be an injury to (first pick?) KDB...

It's alright. *Scans waiver list*. I'll replace him with *keeps scanning*. He can be third sub.

Re: The Secret Tournament
You have to be a bit crafty to get who you want in a 10 man draft even for your waivers. Happy to sneak gundogan in and hope he gets more minutes with Kevin out!
Slim pickings!

I completely forgot the new Chelsea keeper was available. Given I have the Burnley double act, that was dumb.

Yes, you beat me to Gun Dog comfortably, so I'll happily take, er... Mighty Mark Noble instead.
Hoping West Ham get a penalty tomorrow and Noble gets one of his rare 10-pointers.

Gundogan is a gamble but one that draft teams are built on it seems
There was another midfielder I was keen on who no one picked up. Noble may do well though

Deeney 12 points = sub 2.
Mounie 5 points = sub 3.

Re: The Secret Tournament
Indeed, basically just streaming my fifth defender. I managed to pick up KDB via waiver from top of the league in an eight-team league. I've held KDB in this league, I didn't really look deeply into it, but felt holding was the correct move.

The stats are dark and full of errors.
Re: The Secret Tournament
I picked up KDB on waiver in one of my leagues too so definitely agree it's worth holding. It puts pressure on the remaining players in the squad, but he will be worth having as an extra top tier player when he's back and if you do sell him, anyone who can carry him will pick him up and you'll be disadvantaged for the whole season rather than a couple of months.

Re: The Secret Tournament
I concur on KDB. Worth having the deadspot. Just means you have to keep on top of the rest of your squad and cycle defenders as you are doing
Intriguing playing with a 10 man draft with you guys
Get ready for auba to score me a hattrick this week!

Re: The Secret Tournament
An average week sees me lose the lead to Mav3rick, although at least it means I'm not last pick in the waivers anymore. My strikers did quite well but everybody else was pants. I'll be having a word with my midfielders and defenders, standards can't be allowed to slip after such a promising start.
A good week for No Way Jose sees him sneak ahead of Stemania and into 4th, while, lower down, baganboy's Hazard-inspired team records its best score of the season so far and moves up to 7th, and even lower down than that, Mo Bot and Tall Paul appear to have lost interest already.
The season is long, folks. The 76-point gap between 1st and 10th can easily be closed with 33 gameweeks still to go.

Re: The Secret Tournament
It's definitely a long season given the scarcity of options with 10. I do like it though as it widens the pool of players I keep an eye on each week
I do like Mav's team, I have to say. Confident of taking you down in our 6 player divisionals but not confident of catching you in here!
Who has KDB? His return could result in a big surge from whoever has him. Dino?

Re: The Secret Tournament
Yeah I’ve held him. I calculated that he’d miss up to 10 games. That’s ~60 points so probably puts his season output at 150ish. I couldn’t see any 150pts mids as free agents so held on to him.
