Fantasy Football - 2011/12

[valenta]

Come January, Paul Robinson is definitely going to be ousted from goalkeeper in my team. 4-0 against Man City
But you can't blame him entirely.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Now Aguero is injured although if Rooney is anything to go by one can cure a hamstring injury in under a week

Not good news for me!

Nor me, I'm going to have to leave him on the bench too.

Wish I'd made Agbonlahor my captain for today

Great news for me! I was going to make vast culls to the rest of my team on Friday in order to accommodate Aguero, but I totally forgot!

You could have just called yourself psychic!

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Ah, Mr Agbonlahor, thanks for your excellent start to the season!

Does anyone know a) what a wildcard is, and b) how I use it?

 

[SS4]

Agreed. Local lad too.

Does anyone know a) what a wildcard is, and b) how I use it?

A) Lets you make unlimited transfers in a gameweek without costing you points

B) You make your transfers and when you confirm your transfers you scroll down instead and it says use wildcard at bottom (I've used mine)

You get two wilcards per season, one of which must be used in January

 

[Donny Dave]

A wildcard is basically a load of free transfers in a single game week.

Just make all the changes you want, and confirm the transfers. You will then get an option to play your wildcard (you get another in the January transfer window) or take a points hit for the excess transfers (you are allowed 1 a week. Any above that means you lose 4 points from your total for each extra transfer).

With regards to the part in bold free transfers are stacked so if you didn't use one last week you would have two for this week

Thanks, I'll use it when I really need it. I've got two free transfers for next week (Week 8), which I've just used, though normally I just get the one.

I take it your Wildcard transfers just last for one week, or are they permanent?

Wildcard transfers act in the same way as normal transfers except you get unlimited transfers for free. Players are not kicked out of your team at the end of the gameweek!

By free I mean without costing transfer points, you still have to stay within budget

 

[blackettstreet]

Nooooooo!!! left Zamora out and he ends up in dream team :cry: at least murphy was in

 

[SS4]

My team sucked so hard this weekend. Time to reconsider Begovic as my captain

 

[Greenback]

Has anyone got Tevez in their team?

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Another relatively good week for me, Adebayor has earned himself Captaincy after two assists. Just waiting for final points and updated league tables - when do they usually show up?

 

[SS4]

Begovic was a good choice for the captaincy with Stoke keeping a clean sheet. Indeed, I have Stoke to thank for earning me 18 points (about half my total) with Larsson getting 6.

Agbonlahor is back to captaincy now though, hoping he'll get a few at home to West Brom

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Because I don't hold out hope for Agbonlahor's future form (sorry SS4!), I have decided to use my wildcard and get rid of him and three others. My team actually looks fairly decent now, and I've been on a bit of a winning streak recently. I love how the Head-to-Head League is much easier to do better in than the Classic League; 5th of 16 in the former but only 13th of 25 in the latter!

He's done well at Villa Park and I can see him scoring against West Brom (our local derby now Small Heath are gone). Having used my wildcard earlier I took a hit of 4 points to shore up my defence and get rid of my Wolves men

 

[Greenback]

I picked Agbonlahor last season, but got rid of him when he didn't live up to my rather high expectations!

 

[blackettstreet]

i've decided to carry out my first ever transfers, and swap reina and tiote for krul and wilshere

I've also made some vast changes to my squad. Must have transfered about half my squad, but it took a bit of tweaking as I had included to many Newcastle players!

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Three you mean?

I'd have used my wildcard in your situation!

19 points from today's games over half coming from my captain Silva

 

[MidnightFlyer]

That'll teach me to play three at the back and have two of them from Chelsea. My defence has cost me two points so far! My five across the midfield have done quite well, especially those involved in yesterday's game at Stamford Bridge. I hope Newcastle do well at Stoke on Monday, I need one or two South Americans to get me a few more points.

[MidnightFlyer]

I can't decide if I prefer the Head-to-Head or Classic League... I'm tempted to say the former as I tend to be quite lucky at it.

 

[SS4]

I prefer the Head-to-Head since I was actually top for a gameweek lol.

 

[Donny Dave]

For next season, I think I'm going to drop the head to head league, unless someone wants to take it over ....

 

[SS4]

What does it entail?

 

[Donny Dave]

Not a lot. Basically renew the league before the start of next season, and keep an eye on the league admin side of things, of which there is very little to do.

I don't mind doing it unless someone else really wants to

Did anyone have Paul Robinson in goal yesterday? Assist points are rare for a gk
