winning team
Live Mix was a late entry on Sunday 12th August, with only three games the selection was restricted to these teams, because it was a late entry so I forgot to enter it in the FISO league.
The starting 11 was
Alisson, Van Dyke, Robertson, Alexander Trent, Gomez, Mahrez, Sterling, Redmond, Salah, Aguero, So ten players from city and Liverpool.
The team slipped away into oblivion hitting 59,532 position but recovered very nicely and was in the top 1000 in December and ZERO transfers used. I realized that this was a very strong position and took the view that I would only concentrate on the one team.
I made my first transfer on 5th December when Aguero was injured
Aguero out, Aubameyang in, then Gomez injury so swapped for Matip on 8th December who got injured in that game but I kept him in a couple of games until realised he wasn’t coming back.
3RD transfer was on 15th December when I swapped Mahrez for F Anderson
4th 16th December Transfer was to take Matip back out and Alonso in
5th 23rd December Transfer was to take Aubameyang back out after a brace and bring in Kane as I thought I needed him with the run of games.
Christmas Eve my team sat in 929th place 134 points from the top
Boxing day 1047th Place and 139 back
29th December 698 back 136 back
6th Transfer was 30th December - Sane out and Pogba in, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had them playing well and he go a brace straight away.
30th December 468 place and 113 back
3rd January in 600th place and 117 back
7th Transfer 4th January FA Cup, I took Sterling out for Heung m Son because of the easy games Tottenham had. They won 7 nil!
In previous years I have had teams in good positions fall away badly due to FA Cup so I took a view to use some of my transfer advantage to catch up.
On 5th January I was 295 place 98 back
8th – 10th transfers on 6th January FA Cup – So Son lasted one game and sterling was back, Alonso out for Stones, and Pogpa out for De Bryne.
6th January 187 place and 83 back
11th Transfer - Stones lasted one game and was removed the following day (7th January) for Jimenez
7th January 149 place and only 76 behind
12th Transfer - Aguero was coming back from injury and I just can’t play without him so on 14th January Kane out for Aguero.
14th Jan now 141 place 74 back
19th January 112th place and only 70 back
13th to 16th Transfers used on 20th January all due to the run of games and Liverpool out of the cup - Alexander-Arnold, T out Laporte, A in, Van Dijk, V out Walker, K in Redmond, N out Gundogan, I in. Salah, M out Sane, L back in.
20th Jan Jumped to 38th Place and only 57 back
26th January 24th Place only 40 behind
17th 27th January Transfer De Bruyne injury out Alonso back in for FA Cup game ( Bruyne injury in FA cup when City won 5 nil).
27th January 19th Place and 39 back
18th Transfer on 29th January, Gundogan not playing so took him out for Pogpa
16 place 26 back
19th Transfer on 30th January as Liverpool had a series of games and Man City had arsenal so Aguero wouldn’t get too many points with Liverpool’s 3 games surely, so Salah in – Of course Aguero got a hat trick and I missed it!!
30th January 14th Place 27 back
4th February 35th place 57 back
20th transfer on 5th February was Alonso out (he was no longer being allowed to push forwards) Doherty in, so cheap, in FA cup and assists and goals.
5th February 29th place and 57 behind
21st Transfer to rectify my mistake 6th February (so two transfers used to lose points) Salah out Aguero back in (thank goodness I did it even against Chelsea he scores another hat trick). Lesson here for people, never be afraid to admit when you got it wrong and correct the error. However, the next few transfers were all mistakes
6th February 27th place 24 back
10th February 16th Place 38 back
22nd & 23rd on 11th February the Monday night game and FA Cup next Robertson and Anderson out, Jota and Moutinho in so 4 Wolves players.
11th February 16th place 37 back
24th Transfer Aguero injury again so 16th February Jesus in, then they say Aguero will be back for premier game. So
16th February 6th Place and 31 back ENABLE now in the lead.
25th Transfer Jesus out straight away (17th February) and Boly in, now 5 Wolves players!
17th February 5th place 30 back
26th Transfer the next day 18th February (all FA Cup still) Walker out and Rashford in
So Jota not playing after I put him in, total waste of transfer
18th February 3rd Place 15 behind
23rd February 4th place 12 back
27th Transfer Jota out on 24th February and Robertson back in (in hindsight I was luck Jota got rested two games in a ow or I wouldn’t have got Robertson back in play)
24th February 2nd place an 3 behind
26th 2nd place and 1 behind
28th & 29th Transfers on 27th February Laport and Moutinho out and Alexander Arnold and Aguero back in.
27th February In the lead now 2 ahead
30th and 31st transfers 3rd March Boly and Rashford out Van Dyke and Mane back in.
Had a break from transfers but had been wishing I had City keeper as he plays FA Cup games and even getting assists so
3rd March 12 points ahead
32nd Transfer Alisson out and E Moraes in on 30th March
Man Utd now looking poor - so
33rd and 34th Transfer on 3rd April Pogpa out (scored a brace in his next game), Laport back in. I also swapped Aguero for Jesus again as reported injured.
35th and 36th Transfers on 6th April another mistake (both mistakes) taking Van Dyke out for Walker, Mane out for B Silva
37th Transfer Aguero back from injury Jesus out.
I kept hold of Sane since 20th January and he was hardly playing! Very poor move so in the end took him out
38th Transfer 21st April Mane back in as he was scoring for fun (actually tossed a coin for Salah or Mane), Sane out. (as it turned out would have made no difference if I kept Mane in till the end but taking him out with one game to go meant Salah would have been 11 points more)
My plan changed when Man City’s game on penultimate weekend went from the first game to last game of the weekend. Use the last two transfers to take advantage of this. However, I was 21 points ahead with Hazard playing on the Sunday and was talked into dropping Mane for Hazard as my 39th Transfer on 5th May. All the chasing pack had Hazard.
So the Monday night game came and I couldn’t decide between Kompany and Gundogan for Doherty. I was 23 points ahead so - Then I simply decided to wait and see what my opponents did as leaving it alone would allow for De Bryne, Kompany, Gundogan or D Silva (for any of the other players except Doherty). Well as it happened ENABLE bought in Kompany who scored and clean sheet, so only 12 back. This was either a very sensible move or the stupid move that cost me the competition.
LAST Transfer was to cover him off and bought in Kompany for Doherty, they scored the same so opponent will not know I have Kompany and only 7 points in it.
The Final team is
E Moraes
K Walker
V Kompany
A Laport
A Robertson
Trent Alexander Arnold
B Silva
R Sterling
E Hazard
S Aguero
JR imenez
So one player difference to second place and B Silva outscored his Deulofeu by 6 so won by 13
The starting 11 was
Alisson, Van Dyke, Robertson, Alexander Trent, Gomez, Mahrez, Sterling, Redmond, Salah, Aguero, So ten players from city and Liverpool.

Re: winning team
Hi Frosty - congratulations on your win.
Do you have a weekly breakdown of your score throughout the season? I can work out a rough guide from what you have posted above but if you do have it I could use it for next years 'Graph' thread as a guide.

Well done Frosty. Remarkable achievement.
At the start of every season, we all dream that the cards will fall our way and we’ll get a chance to challenge for the big one. You’ve won it twice!

Re: winning team
Well played Frosty. For a while in April you me and the 'Enable' Chap were battling it out for top 3 place before you hit the top and never looked back. I basically didn't bank on Man City keeping so many clean sheets in their run in. Finished in 9th and £39900 less than you!!!!!! Well done again mate.

Re: winning team
Congratulations and thanks for sharing. I ended up 113pts back in 64th.
With you mentioning targeting the cup, do you know where did you finish in the 'EPL' only league?

Re: winning team
Congratulations on your second victory.
Interesting spacing of transfer use with 31 being used in a 3 month period.

Re: winning team
It’s interesting that you considered the Aguero hat trick “miss” a mistake that needed correcting when his next game was Chelsea. I had done exactly the same move taking LFCs easy fixtures against Aguero’s tougher ones and missed both. I considered this just unlucky as when he then came in afterwards, he hardly set the world alight. It’s these timings that consistently give me FF headaches/nightmares. Not got his stats to hand to back up this post hat trick lack of big points feeling.
I’m not sure I’ll be going with Aguero next season as I think he’s another year older and Jesus will take more game time. I’m thinking there could be better value in the mid range.

Re: winning team
a wager on Deulofeu to score, as a little hedge?
Very well done, don't spend it all on TFF teams next season

Re: winning team
where do I find EPL only info? I didn't know about it.
Had a small wager on Watford scoring two goals but not a lot.

I make that 1,964 in total which would have put you in the top 30 of the Starting XI league.Frosty Casino wrote: ↑19 May 2019, 15:12 this is the starting 11 and the scores but as it was entered after the first game of the season, it did not qualify for Starting XI.

Re: winning team
It really is dumb that the Starting XI league doesn't cover late entries, especially when there is an odd Friday night game (was it Leicester v someone? Easily get 11 not involved).
My only teams entered on time were due to superleague rules or the need for me to set up a league. No excuse (except server fears) for entering on time otherwise.

Re: winning team
Ditto. I had manoeuvred myself into the top 300 by having a 4-5-1 with 'alternative' strikers Aubameyang or Jimenez and them missed all six Aguero goals in weeks 26 and 27 which, basically kruppered my season.

Out of interest, was the winning score a record for TFF?

Re: winning team
Isn't the point that all starting XI are constructed with exactly the same information before the first game. Starting late means you want more info so can see why they do it that way.
