TFF chit chat 13th, 14th and 15th August

[Darbyand]

It is showing on his stats page if that's any consolation.

[murf]

TFF really do need to sort out their stats. If they can automatically show goals and some assists then it is only 5 minutes work to tweak it to also correctly show all assists, saves, tackles etc.

[Canaryfan]

It would definitely make more sense to list the number of points earned from tackles and saves rather than the actual number of tackles or saves as it'll make player comparison far easier.

e.g. Make 1 tackle per league match and at the end of the season you'll be listed as 38 tackles, but will have no points to show for it.
Make 2 tackles in 20 matches and you'll have 40 tackles listed and have 20 points.

As it stands it's easy enough to calculate goal and assist points with a quick bit of mental arithmetic, but you won't be able to work out the tackle points without working out the start/sub/goal and assist points and deducting from the total points to leave the total tackle points. What a faff.

I thought 45 from my single entrant team was a reasonable score yesterday but seems a little under par looking on here. No City coverage so relying on Son to bag me some points today.

The 'template' did well thanks to Salah and Fernandes plus maybe some defensive coverage from Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester. Need 49 to be in the top half of the Highlander League but that is the top 12% or so overall so FISO are far better than average thanks to being wise enough to go for the solid (starting) picks rather than gambles or players not yet back and playing.

[LenH]

55 for me on my single entrant yesterday so more than happy with that.

See what today brings and resist any ridiculous urges to get rid of White today!

KdB on the bench.

Where do I fit him in next week...

In the place I had reserved for Kane/Lukaku?

My best team is my egg team (which I didn’t select) …..

So's mine.

The 3 (which are all the same) that I had free range are my worst 3

[murf]

My Eggcup is my worst team but not by anything like the 17pt headstart the other 4 have with BF.

[Spinynorman]

High: 56

Low: 43

Best team: My Eggcup team.

[SPR]

I had Dier in my team at one point but as I started late this year, I wasn't able to establish if he was first choice so took him out. Could be a solid pick going forward?

[buttonphobic]

High:66
Low:38

[ventosus]

Zouma on the bench, wasnt expecting that... are we looking at injury, poor training form or rotation risk?

I would say he's not in the manager's plans, talk they're trying to move him on.

[itslikebrandnew]

High 89

Low 64

[murf]

High: 81

Low: 54 My Eggcup team.

(Intended) Best team: 63

In my 81 team I picked Mane over Salah. Could have been a 92 and in the top 100....

[Jimbo20]

High: 78
Low: 70

Steady start with no transfers used. Will go wrong when I start using transfers though

[Mins]

I was quite happy with my 55pts from my single entry but I guess we all got 30 from Salah and Bruno which means I am in about 15,000th place, lol.

[SamD]

Top points gatherers in Week-1 may both feature in around 30% of teams, rather than all:

Salah is in 45%, Fernandes in 36%.

[happyhoppy]

Looks like they’ve fixed the league position thing so you get your summary at the top but ALSO in the league itself.
