Quite calm by comparison. Bro and Hal are out of money so its up to me to overpay for players. I will do my part. Just put a bid out for Ferdinand thinking someone would trump, but no takers. I think that's what Hal said happened to him. I have a couple others out there. You guys need to bid in order to save me.
my new fflo strategy is to do the opposite of what I think. I think crouch is one of the worst players ever to wear an england shirt , right up there with Carlton Palmer. So he's bound to do good just to spite me. or something
there is some crazy bids out there, Roe Coker would have been nice for 4 or 5 or but 10 for a west ham df? how many clean sheets is he going to get? Someone is off their head
and 9 for a portsmouth df? I know both portsmouth and West ham have bought in some good players, but i dont think they are 10 euro defense teams?
A West Ham 'defender' who scored in the FA Cup semi with a one-inch tap-in (I think it was the semis) and regularly takes cracks from 20 yards.
That was me at "overpay central." I did not want to pay that much. Someone else force it upon me. Counting on him to play midfield, but get defense scores when available. But 10+?
I can no longer keep track, but I think you outbid me on that one. It was the classification as a defender that made him so intriguing. If he plays in the midfield and scores like he did last year or better AND gets a defender bonus on occasion to boot, could be a very nice pick up.
Wow, that was close. Thank you to whoever took Downing. Another of the pot-shot bids. Great player, don't get me wrong. Just more than I want to pay at the moment.
or not, and we'll find west ham's offense has taken it to a whole new level, with benefits for all of them. similar Qs for zamora and harewood who went in round 1 -- who was helped and who was hurt (on an individual fantasy basis) by yesterday's moves?
and thus the use of the word "currently" - but i must confess that i think they're looking decent, abthough certainly aided by their early season schedule
Got carried away last night trying to see what bid it would take to beat the already in place max on a player (not downing or was it) and found I had bid about 75% more than I thought the player was wortth to me
Inflation Continues It's nice to see people continue to inflate prices on 'second-tier' players. Soon you'll all have as little money left, as Hal and myself.
Re: Inflation Continues I guess he's not into bidding wars, so the price-hiking bluffers will be left with players they don't really want and a hole in their budgets.
Re: Inflation Continues Essou-Ettoko went for 5.7? I missed defending my 5.2 bid for him while riding my bike. I loved how that guy manhandled Diouf in the first match, looking like a younger Gabe Heinze. Also missed defending my 2.5 for Owen. What steals!
Re: Inflation Continues The Moral to the story, if you want someone.... put 'Max Bids' on. Owen just takes up space until January..... then he'll play three games and get crooked again. Bad injury history there.
