Eliteserien 2019

[Oxford NZ]

I have not seen the game yet but what a match for Molde and Eikrem.
I just need K Ohi to do something please.

[Oxford NZ]

Looking for recommendations for a playing keeper in GW10, I may WC GW11 and go back to McD or play on and rotate McD with SandviK
6.1 is a lot for Linde but it is only one week. Larsen Kawarsey at 5.5 could do the job with a bit of cash left over, but Sandvik is looking favorite.

PS Ohi did OK last week. Eikrem gets the band this week though.

[Stormrider]

Hi Oxford. What about Barli? Ranheim seems to have picked up some form. Else, yes, Sandvik looks good.

Wild Card in GW11 also crossed my mind with the re-scheduled games now. Need to create a fixture ticker or so.

Good luck with round 7! Captain also on Eikrem and not changing

[1albert]

I'm aiming to rotate between Barli with McDermott for whoever plays at home.
Eikrem as Captain for me.
I need to do some research on these upcoming blanks and DGW's. At the moment I'm plodding along from week to week with no idea and no plan.

This may help.

I don't do twitter but have you seen Johannes posting on discordapp.com ? There is a link on FFS site.

Thanks, Beerfuelledman. I had no idea Ben Crellin covered Eliteserien. That's very helpful and will go straight into use from today. Regards

Oxford ... I occasionally visit Discord for the MLS fantasy chat. However, I have never come across a thread on Eliteserien. Does one exist?
I'm not the brightest spark on a computer and wouldn't know where to look. I couldn't even find the link that you refer to.

[Oxford NZ]

PM sent with link, I hope.

That ticker is out of date I believe. some blanks not accounted for.

[Oxford NZ]

Congrats to Albert on the round score as well as the FISO H2H league win Blah will be gunning for that title next season.

[Oxford NZ]

Chips
WC13 or 16. depends on the chip I want for GW14
GW14 attack attack if I WC in 13 ( or two captains if I WC in GW16
GW15 is uninspiring with Stabek and S08 getting doubles
GW17 rich uncle looks the best for covering the double. No telling who will score so the two captains and attack attack can be ruled out I think.

Leaves two captains to fit in. Do I look again at GW17 or just pick a good fixture for the Wolff and Veton say GW15?

That slender lead of mine in our Classic League should surely disappear this coming gameweek 10. Only fielding a maximum of eight players and I don't intend taking a points hit to make the numbers up.

That slender lead of mine in our Classic League should surely disappear this coming gameweek 10. Only fielding a maximum of eight players and I don't intend taking a points hit to make the numbers up.

We'll see about that. I'm currently 8 points behind you. Our teams are very similar except for your 3 players from Bodø-Glimt. I stayed away from Bodø Glimt while keeping Odd as planned for BGW11. I expect to field 11 this coming GW. That may have been a wrong decision as it has been costly to live without some of the Bodø-players.

Do we trust Eikrem as captain again? Away to Tromsø, it could be worse. Someone from Vålerenga against Lillestrøm could be an alternative, but note that this is a fierce derby and hard to predict (beyond saying that yellow cards will be in demand).

My current headache is who to get as a keeper. Mjøndalen has some promising games coming up so I may opt for Ranmark. However, his place may not be secure in Mjøndalen so the choice has risk attached.

I'm even contemplating getting Brochman in for Ibrahimaj and going the "full Mjøndalen". Risky indeed, but a Wild Card can be played soon so I can afford a reshuffling if needed. My thinking is also that if there ever is a time for Mjøndalen (and that is an "if") that time is now.

[Oxford NZ]

I went with Ejuke as captain just as a differential. This could be a low scoring game week and a punt that goes wrong will not hurt much ( I hope).
Good luck guys.

[Beerfuelledman]

Im getting 9 out. Not perfect but hopefully will hold its own. I need to start having a think about whether I wildcard GW11 or not and if I did what that team would look like.

No more than 3 from Haugesund & Viking (BGW14)
3 Odd? (DGW 14)
3 Stabaek (DGW14 / DGW 15)
Sarpsborg?? (DGW15)(Not really on form...)
No more than 3 from Kristiansund & Valerenga (BGW15)

Hmm

[Oxford NZ]

My WC date is not set but if it is in GW11 then
3 - Valerenga and bench 2 in GW15
3- Odd
2 - Stabaek
2 - Molde
2- Brann
one each from Bodo, Mjondalen, Viking, rbk
That is sixteen , but really with FT that can be spiced up using those teams and fixtures.

[Niemi]

Eikrem last 6 GWs
15 shots, 4 in the box, 1 big chance, 19 chances created, 6 big chances created, 24 touches in the box

Ohi last 6 GWs
25 shots, 21 in the box, 6 big chances, 9 chances created, 1 big chance created, 45 touches in the box

Ohi captain

[Oxford NZ]

@ Niemi, Shala or Ejuke for me. Low scoring week anyway, a different captain could make a bit of difference.

Maybe, but Vålerenga are 14th for xG last 6 (one less game than most, but still). Molde are 1st with three times higher xG. Tromsø defence the only defence with worse xGC than Lillestrøm.

Neither of the Vålerenga players are explosive either IMO, Ejuke inconsistent and only shooting every 62nd minute. Shala likely to play deep again in a 4231. Still has some set pieces though. Finne is the only explosive midfielder they have IMO, but game time is a worry there.

Good luck.

[Beerfuelledman]

This is me guys, good luck!

[Oxford NZ]

The GW started well with vc Shala benched, C Ejuke yellow card
WC gw11 looks good.

[1albert]

Can't believe my Stokie Bloke team survived Gameweek 10 intact. Very slender lead, but still clinging onto pole position.

[Oxford NZ]

Interesting week indead Albert. On ward and upward as they say. GW11 WC activated, not sure if it will bring any gains as the league is so volatile this season and the template is so close.
I could have made it to GW17 with FT's but a freshen up and budget relocation was needed. The mids and forward spending needs to be increased this season and savings made on prime defenders to pay for it. A game of two halves and a season of fluctuating results could change all that but atm the Wormgoor, Reginiussens and Mellings are over priced and last seasons game plan.

[1albert]

You've got plenty of time to decide on your choices ONZ. Nice long break until gameweek 11 kicks off on 15th of June.

[Oxford NZ]

Not much price and transfer movement so far during the Eliteserien break. WC team almost set but I hoped to make 0.3 before the next round commences and no double price rises so far. I am 0.6 short of an optimal squad. The Brann and RBK players with their higher price tags are downgraded atm. I still may ruin my team to bring in Berisha over Strand and try to fit in a Rosenborg mid.

[Oxford NZ]

Picked Berisha as captain over Eikrem. Three assists and potential bonus points for the Wolf
Ohi rested and playing a cameo 9 mins hurt a bit as well.
Looking forward to the Brann match though, should be an entertaining watch if i can find stream. Thinking of investing in a VPN as I miss a lot of games by living in New Zealand.

[Oxford NZ]

Half way through DGW14 and some interesting results. Psyche with a couple of goals coming off my bench gives me 91 with Borven K, Sandberg K , Hagen, Rashani and Boli to play.
If Boli scores 5 or more than Sandberg I would have been better playing attack attack this week and using 2K next but it is done now.

Looking for another double game week player with my FT for DGW15 and playing my attack attack chip.
presently contemplating dropping one of Borven, Hagen or Rashani for an S08 player. Keeping an eye on Wormgoor's injury. It did not look too bad but even he needs a rest every now and again. The artificial turf in Norway is hard on the joints.

Sandberg
Wormgoor, Hagen, Salquist
Eikrem, Jensen, Evjen, Rashani
Boli , Borven, Ohi

Bench Thorstvedt, Pereira, Psyche
