I've decided this morning that the only success is either top two or absolute bottom. Mid-table is off-limits. This adds to earlier 'wow draft leagues are still hard!' decisions like: 'If I'm not going to cut loose all the dudes who aren't playing yet, I can maintain a team value greater than 85 only by scrambling for tenths like...pigs for truffles.'
Captain Report Morning Glory - No Aquero so ...... drum roll ..... Rooney is Captain, home against MCI, why not Tangers - Hazard, the people choice on FFS I believe Yellowcake - Sanchez, after 180 minutes of Int'l ball and a long flight, any legs left? Rafalution - Ibrahimovic. Captain ..... AFC Ku - Costa, "Mr. I am picked on" Dynamo - Lukaku, a new pick each week makes things exciting Vegas - Vardy, just because Pork Soda - Giroud, will he finally play?
The boys at the top slowed at bit, and the boys at the bottom picked up the pace, especially Mr. Wilson with his captain getting a nice 34 points. Mr Costa's 24 points has already been noted. One yellow away from my Batsh*t getting some PT will Mr. Costa sits. Can I wait that long? My "Bench Boost" added 3 points. Wow.
Captain Report - week 5 Tangers - Sterling. An inventive pick that really looks good now that you see Hazard with 2 pts Morning Glory - Erikson. Another inventive pick. The mother of invention is who? Dynamo - Lukaku. And why not after last week. Up to third in the standings. Yellowcake - Alli. Wow, this is a very "inventive" group here this week AFC Ku - Walker. No Costa is the news here, but Walker was huge last so wt* Rafalution - Iheanacho. Whoa, that this is getting to be a bit much. No Ibrah ....? Vegas - Vardy. No idea there was a Friday start so he stays by default. Who else you might say! Pork Soda - Giroud. Stays with him, but looks like no payoff AGAIN.
Out:Rooney F 9 MU IN: Rashford F 6.8 MU Painful to admit time is showing...youth it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Just popping into the standings. 4th in Dust, but 14th overall...how the heck is that possible!? Good little league we have here lads.
Not official if it's not in the proper thread. I was about to pick up Rashford, not having seen him taken...
Tough league Total points for all 8 teams in each league: Dust: 1874 Very Small Rocks: 1867 Small Rocks: 1845 Sand: 1836 I look at transfers going on in each league. (Trying to see if someone has a good idea that I have thought of yet!) What I see are player being taken that are already owned by someone in our league. Makes it tough to catch up.
Captain Report (After MUN destroys LEI 4-1) Tangers - Coutinho. Off Hazard on to an LIV middie against Hull. Sure makes sense to me. Dynamo - Lukaku. No change here. A lot of "color" in this roster. Reds and yellows indicating trouble. AFC Ku - Rondon. Whoa, VERY creative here. Rafalution - Mane. Off Ibrah.... on to an LIV middie against Hull. Sure makes sense to me. Yellowcake - Sanchez. Had a chance at an LIV middie against Hull, but stayed with a hot guy. Morning Glory - Aquero. He's back and hopefully the slide from the top ends today. Vegas - Antonio. Off the LEI guys, which looks good after they get 1 point each from the MUN match. Pork Soda - Payet. A lot of "color" on this roster also.
PS; Captain Report (After MUN destroys LEI 4-1) I too had a chance for "an LIV middie against Hull." Almost took Firmino. Looks like Liverpool is doing a "Middie Swarm." No forwards. If any of you play World of Tanks you will know what that feels like. All Middies, no Heavies.
I don't know where to post this, and I'm not posting it because he's my guy (my one remaining quality guy!)... I hope people got to see the Payet goal today. Back when I was tormenting my poor brother with random highlight films, I once sent him the whacky 1993 JayJay Okocha goal: Payet's was better! It started near the halfway line. It was like a combination of the Okocha goal and the Maradona slalom goal against England in '86.
I'll just hold up the bottom end of the All Rocks curve, if nobody minds... My unretirement is looking like Brett Favre on the Jets.
Captain Report Gameweek 8 (After CHE beats LEI 3-0) Dynamo - Chadle. Interesting. Off the battering ram forwards. Yellowcake - Sanchez. Against SWA it should be a field day Tangers FC - Back on Hazard, who promptly scores. Morning Glory - Aquero. And why doesn't he get more credit as a world premier forward Rafalution - Ibrahimovic. Gotta happen soon for the big guy AFC KU - Silva. Not Costa is the news (especially after you know he has scored) but he could do more Vegas - Vardy. There is a certain freedom to knowing that your captain has got NOTHING Pork Soda - Payet. He's the hot guy for sure.
What is more desperate than "desperate times?" Out: Pereyra In: Stanislaus M BOU 5.5 Out: Jenssen In: Baston F SWA 6.9
So there went Payet off to the lovely city of Marseille. Au revoir, nice to have you for a few months, after you came back from the WC needing several weeks of rest. This just ties a bow on the season, woohoo! Piggy Draft Kane - Injured, dropped by nearly all fantasy owners. Snatched by an owner who had a spare slot and spare coin. Payet - Late start, then transferred to Marseille Giroud - Late start, didn't get back to starting lineup until a month ago Barkley - Mostly in the Everton starting lineup, occasionally dropped for poor performance Wilson - Forgot I ever had him Alderweireld - Hurt long term. Came back. Hurt again. Came back. Butland - His ankle injury of a few weeks has now lasted four-plus months. Backup GK, no need to drop. Dann - Transferred out early Antonio - Started as a fullback, dropped because of attitude. Came roaring back...for another owner Henderson Smalling Jakupovic Gudmundsson Jones Dawson Who remains on the team: Giroud Barkley Alderweireld Butland Not to mention the Alonso debacle. Widely reported as injured, I drop him, he shows up to score two the next match. I suuuuuuuuuuck at this in 2016-2017.
