Yeah maybe. But then when you have to free up funds for the players you want that will probably force you to change 2 or 3 players costing you 12 points.

@[deleted], was looking at a few of the teams last time and most of us had very similar lineups up front and in midfield. Think it'll be a very tight league.

What's also weird is that when I try to sell a player I am given a value less than what it says on he players lists on the transfer page. Then once they're gone I look at the player list and if I want to buy him back then I have to pay the higher value. What is this, like the FOREX market with bid/ask pricing?

I put a team together for game week three I think, so I am already fucked regardless.
Dules, I took a penalty this week. Had no choice really since I already had Wilson, Aguero and two other players on long term injuries. All in all, I'm pretty happy with my team, but those two weeks that I'm behind everyone will make it impossible to catch up. Will need to be spot on with the choice of captain most weeks, will have to get lucky when I choose my triple captain and go all out attack. Not very likely.
Having said that, I'd be surprised if I haven't completely lost interest by February. 🙂

Depends on if your challenging or not. Never played before and was in the bottom 3 for the first couple weeks. After playing my wildcard in week 3 or so I shot up to 6th and been in top 4 since, briefly topping it for one week until Aguero happened. I guess when you have a chance then you're more inclined to continue. What's your team called?

Assenal.
My 14 year old son would have been 11th in our league. 🙂

You get half of whatever the increase in the players price, rounded down the the nearest decimal place. So if you bought him at 7m and he goes up to 7.4 (or 7.5), you'll only get 7.2m

Have 4 fucking players not playing this week, so annoying.

What kind of stupid rule is that? They already make it long enough with the restrictions on how many players you can transfer, they also take away half your profit? What if you make a loss on a player compared to what you bought him for? In that case they split the loss with you as well?

Why the fuck is Mahrez not playing again? Is he injured? Because he's not marked injured. Fucking wasted my 'all out attack' because all my defenders are injured. That's 5 players in my squad who are either injured or not playing.

United, City and Southampton have 8 fucking goals between them and I have 1 fucking assist to show for it from my 3 attacking players from those sides.

One of those weeks.

Luckily I dropped Mahrez lol

Yup, same here with me. Two on my bench not playing, 2 of my CBs not playing, mahrez only playing for the first 10 mins, Hazard coming on in the last 8 mins. It's all a bit shit really. Vardy and Myhill are the only two to get me anything more than points for being on the pitch.

Think Dules is going too tonight. He's made about 60 points on Costa and Sterling lol.

Looks like a shit week coming up indeed.

Gained a bit of ground the last 2 rounds. Hadn't touched it probably since I set up my initial team then played the wildcard last round and got 86 points. This week triple captained Sanchez which helped me to 88.

Abysmal week. Unless Butland gets about 20 points tomorrow...

You came from lol 25 points down to clear at the top. Great week for you really. I went from about 20 points at the top for one week two weeks later I'm 6th or 7th and about 40 points off.

14 days later

Have Butland on my bench this week, 11 points, and sold Kone, 17 points and probably 3 more bonus points. I'm really not doing things right here. 🙁

My 14 year old would now have been third in our league too!

I have Ighalo on the bench.

Brought in Payet and Barkley this week too and both were shit, should've gone with my first plan of getting Ozil and Lukaku.

As Theo was injured Ward was in my starting line-up with 4 defenders. Instead I subbed Theo for Sanchez, deducting 4 points for the additional transfer, and Ward, who got 7 points, was relegated to my bench, resulting in a net loss of 8 points.

Think I might still go top though.

Why would you have Kone in your team?

Pretty unlucky past 2 GW, had Dann in the team and Kolarov on the bench last week, Kolarov scored like 6 points and Dann 0. This week I swapped them around and Dann had 6 points, Kolarov 0.

70 points 🙂

If only I chose my captain better.
