Captains & Transfers

Post by CptPugwash »

Far too quiet in this forum since ILBN gave up the ghost.

Week 9
currently on:
ISO Jimenez/Chilwell/Son/Dallas
Neto & Jimenez on their way out after the Friday game.
Ings definitely on his way in this week - possibly via Salah (in preparation for Next Friday)
KDB almost certainly on the way in. So If i don't forget Chilwell will get upgraded.

NOT-ISO Jimenez/Salah/Son/Justin.
Again Jimenez -> Ings

I really want to put Son in, however, at the moment I have Kane, DCL & Sterling, who are all on good form! Decisions, Decisions

Really hard to squeeze Kane & Son in the same team in this format. With 3 or 4 captains needed every week, mostly one would think from forward slots, it's very difficult tying 2 up from the same team.
There are going to be opportunities to use them both for short bursts. I am certainly considering this Sunday(Brighton) Saturday (West Brom) combination, before a switch of one of them on to probably Salah. Of course that then no doubt leads to picking the wrong one as captain.

Anyone having issues entering both teams in a cash league.
After I've entered 1 team the league does not come up using the search facility. You can enter the league number to search and it comes up but then doesn't pre populate the password.

I've both in my ISO team for a couple or more weeks - fixtures and form were too good to resist. Likely to go Salah to Ings and then bring Salah in for Son after the WBA game. Kane captain I think. Need to find a way to get KDB back in.

My non-ISO team as still a bit of a mess following my failure to confirm my overhaul team (reckon when I factor in lost points and extra transfers that will have cost me 50-100 pts) - but the (current) plan is to have KDB, Fernandes, Salah and Kane as permanent members of the team and to rotate around them (will probably cover most captains that way).

No idea who to bring in with Antonio in my ISO team (Foden was top of list until he was benched), so I'll go with 10 this week and take stock. What did others do?

Not sure whether to be pleased with myself or not after Sunday - I had planned to replace Jimenez with Ings, but totally forgot about the midday KO. So I missed out on the Ings points, but a saved transfer could be beneficial in the long run!

Think I’m in good stead then. Team 1 top 4000 with 29 transfers and team 2 top 9000 with 34. Lots playing today also.

Still don't agree that these should be divulged.....

Even if it is reassuring... Given already top 100 with plenty more than these numbers

It should either be on the site or not at all. You can soon reverse engineer the top 10 in particular to get a decent handle on certain teams transfers remaining

I’ve told them for years. They just don’t do it. They now release the info on their podcast but I’d say 95% of the game won’t listen to that
