The worst is when the goal panel retroactively awards your captain a goal (Silva) but you get no points. 7th in All Rocks, but only 4th in VSR. Looks like we know which is the real elite league. And since I'm so good at griping, I used the 'All Out Attack' 2-5-3 this week, only for Mirallas not to play and Mangala to sub in with a solid 5 points #useless
Top of the league. Yes I am big headed and taking full advantage of being top before I take the long fall downnnnn. Also helps when I get lucky using the new (not to my taste but I'll use any extras provided) triple captaincy button!
Score are going to be a little higher this year than in previous years because of those chips. Some unlikely early scoring leaders so far. Sunderland are absolutely awful.
Nope. Legs have gone, and if Chelsea sign Stones from Everton then his starts will diminish further. I'll take my chances in other directions. I'm a risk taker!
In the spirit of whining, griping, random musings, I thought I had done well pairing goalkeepers given the way they swap home games. Thus far, I've rotated so as to play the home keeper each GW, and been wrong every time. Four weeks in, my GK has scored 2, 6, 3, 1, for a whopping total of 12. Had I played the away keeper each week instead, the scores would have been 6, 8, 6, 11, a healthy 31... Yes, 19 points thrown away in four weeks solely with bad selections at the GK position. Shocking, really. Better yet, had I not rotated and just played one, I would have done better, 19 with Mignolet or 24 with Howard. Instead, I've got 12. I need to figure out what I'm doing going forward. #backtothedrawingboard
It's been a flukey year so far. Big guns have been largely silent and it's difficult to predict whose defense is going to do well week-to-week. Players will revert to their norms sooner or later, and the players like Mahrez or Callum Wilson will slow down, unless they become this year's Harry Kane. Leaving points on the bench is the worst.
There's also a factor of teams going defensive on the road, and being early in the season it being more effective.
Why has someone still got Ramsey on their team??? If that was me I'd be getting rid of him right away...
Could get myself to have an extra .4 in the bank with a Crystal Palace goalkeeper.... Sasha Juniors Out: Romero G MUN 5.0 In: Gomes G WAT 4.5 Bank: 2.0
nominees for worst and best managerial moves of the week, both enacted at approximately 11pm Friday night by yours truly... WORST: benching Alderweireld for Otamendi and then adding insult to injury by not even giving him the #1 bench spot. BEST: captaining Sanchez instead of Wilson.
