Block League episode 10 (19/20 season)

[Maldini]

Has that rule always existed?

[murf]

Don't think I need to worry about that rule. All my Sheff Utd players are enablers anyway

[blahblah]

Which does say cheaper ....

Bournemouth seem to have shared GK minutes evenly between 4 of the bstrds

Travers will get the nod (according to FFS who I am trusting re Sheff Utd! - alsoworth reading Grauniad's prediction for each club)

PS Still only 19 in the league

[Maldini]

Spiny missing?

I read Boruc, but had assumed Travers, who also scores goals at the other end

I think it was Boruc, Travers then Beg to be sold and 4th for Loaning out.

Can I tweak this tomorrow?

Team is in\pending and Public....

[blahblah]

Rule 4 has been dumped?

Way back when this was probably Rule 2 after the Def and GK bit.....

[murf]

I assume we can tweak tomorrow. Advantage Liverpool (who to pick) and Norwich (who to drop!)

[nffc]

Eeek!
Only just read this

Am I too late ?

[nffc]

Eeek!
Only just read this

Am I too late ?

Just read the thread again
Answer is yes lol. Have fun everyone

[zipnolan]

Has that rule always existed?

I'm with Maldini - I don't see a good reason for that rule 5E and I respectfully suggest that it gets ditched. If you want to pick players who get guaranteed zero points then I think you should be able to do it. At the end of the season, for example, if you have some transfers in reserve (and this game tends not to burn transfers) then why not put in your lowest priced defenders to enable better cup final players?

[thebillfella]

Can somebody pm Spiny for us as he's still not there?

[Maldini]

I’ve PM’d Spiny.

blah blah needs to make his team public.

[blahblah]

I did click the Public Box.

I'll go on laptop within the hour....

[Spinynorman]

Help!

I can't find the league details.

[Spinynorman]

Help!

I can't find the league details.

Found it.

Really sorry about being late but I thought I was already in. Just had a panic trying to find the log in which was of course very clear to see.

I'm in America at the moment and it's 4:00am!

[blahblah]

It should be Public now - can someone confirm it for me?

[Spinynorman]

Thanks for the heads up Maldini.

[raoul]

Well Norwich was the best pick clearly. If only my GK got save points in this game ...

[Maldini]

So then blah, did you pick the correct keeper?

[blahblah]

Well I did as in mine is on the bench and the one playing isn't in the game

[S_sutton87]

Well my West ham block took a battering today lol

How many keepers do Bournemouth have / need?!

4 who pretty much shared preseason. The 3 you will have heard of plus the one starting today

Am re-asking a point of order.

I have the joys of a Norwich block. Started the season with GK and a back 3 (quell surprise) putting in one of the CB (both were injured) in the expectation he would return soon. He did, and is now injured again and out for a while. Other CB also seems to have reinjured himself.

So it looks like I will only have 2 playing Norwich defenders for quite a while. Am I required under the spirit of the game to put in one of the likely replacements so I have a full cohort playing? Quite happy to do it. I mean, what could possibly go wrong in the next fixture...

In theory you can do whatever you like as long as the selected defenders are all Norwich (playing, injured, dropped, whatever). Can carry an injured bloke for as long as you like if you think it isn't worth a transfer (or two) to replace him.
My theory is that you can only win or challenge in this if your team keeps a lot of CSs. So therefore it pays to maximise your 'playing' defenders so you get maximum benefit from that run of CSs. I had 5 defenders for a time last year (Palace with Schlupp in midfield) so I could maximise all those CSs. Shame they stopped happening when they had 5 playing defenders and I was on board but it was the right 'shit or bust' tactic to employ.

thanks murf. For the record I have put a new boy in who should probably get a game. Norwich do not have many defenders in tff and 3 of them seem to be long term out, so even if I wanted to play 5 of them I doubt it would be feasible!

for most goals conceded after 4 games Norwich are already bottom. After 38 games its probably safe to say they will be in the bottom 6, unless something dramatic changes so good luck

[raoul]

looks like I am protected against MC tomorrow, as every Norwich defender appears to be out, and even Krul has a niggle.

Could be a cricket score...

Football sometimes has a nasty habit of throwing up the odd surprise!
