Doc Rikowski 1,356 Posted August 19, 2014 I don't follow the PL very much so some weaker players I have for budget reasons are complete strangers to me even though they looked like they were going to play since they had gathered good points in past season. Anyway, lots of time to catch up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nlwt 732 Posted August 19, 2014 Anybody made their Gameweek 2 free transfer? I got rid of Bojan and shoved Naismith in. I did originally have Naismith in at the start from swapped him for Bojan because it seemed everybody else had him. Hopefully he can carry on with his goal scoring form.

Doc Rikowski 1,356 Posted August 20, 2014 I had to get rid of Shaw cause he's injured. Can't recall who I put though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doc Rikowski 1,356 Posted August 26, 2014 Tell me about it... I might use the wild card. My team has a serious problem of too many guys not playing at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Gardener 163 Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) So this is my third consecutive year to make a team and then completely forget about it after gameweek 1. Hopefully this thread will encourage me to be a bit more active. I'd be lucky to have a look every two game-weeks. Finishing in the top half is my aim. I had two free transfers. Pantillimon out for Mannone (dat spelling) and Sidwell out for Sigurdsson. I actually made 0.2 profit, swapping two players stuck on the bench for two under-rated starters.

cactus. 845 Posted August 26, 2014 Think you may have taken the screenshot a bit early, Nlwt, before they had a chance to do auto-subs and/or bonus points But the standings are more or less the same. I was particularly miffed by Stoke's equalising goal due to an erroneous throw-in since I had Davies and Hull were minutes away from keeping a clean sheet with 10 men. Ugh! the perils of fantasy league.. I'm keeping faith in Eriksen. A mere 6 points in his two opening games, but he's got to come good. I see Mark flirting with the relegation zone down there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nlwt 732 Posted August 26, 2014 I'm going to sub Felipe Luis using the free transfer. He's played about 10 minutes so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nlwt 732 Posted August 26, 2014 How many free transfers do I get? 1 free transfer a week. I just subbed Sanchez and shoved Ramsey on. I'll sub Luis for a decent defender next gameweek. Hopefully Luis makes an appearance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 500 Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Time to be drastic. Giroud (injury), Puncheon and Toure off, Ramsey, Naismith and Sterling on. Lost 4 points for it but it should get me enough back. Gonna get rid of Chambers soon too. Shame really, he usually puts in almost MotM performances, bosses the Arsenal defence yet scores low due to having to pick up tactical yellows and the like.

Max 1,654 Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I'm keeping faith with Bojan. From the highlights of Stoke I've seen so far he looks direct and creative so I think the points will start flowing once Stoke kick into gear. My issue is Sanchez, the little f*cker is sucking up 10.5 mil of my budget and has so far produced f*ck all. However, he's now going to have to be the main guy at Arsenal with Giroud out and, similar to Bojan, Arsenal haven't got firing yet.

Doc Rikowski 1,356 Posted August 27, 2014 Used the wild card and changed 90% of the team I think... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banks. 5,687 Posted August 27, 2014 Took out Sanchez and put Di Maria in. Also, I've taken out Herrera for Lamela. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaidev 44 Posted August 27, 2014 I had only 1 player score in gameweek 2 and that was a defender Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc Rikowski 1,356 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Much better. 37 points today (and 13 in the bench ) but still many players that will play tomorrow. EDIT: And WTF Diego Costa played and scored 2?!??!?!? I sold it cause they said he'd be out for a while.... grrrrr Edited August 30, 2014 by Doc Rikowski Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nlwt 732 Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Eh, I'm on 29 at the moment, with 4 left to play. My captain's pick let me down this week. Edited August 31, 2014 by Nlwt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cactus. 845 Posted August 31, 2014 Captain Sigurdsson is saving me from an otherwise atrocious week. A good Eriksen performance would be a welcomed boost as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banks. 5,687 Posted August 31, 2014 Yeah looks like another sh*t week for me too. Thank God for Diego Costa! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max 1,654 Posted August 31, 2014 Making Sanchez captain basically saved my week. Another week without a clean sheet in the back 5, and by all accounts Bony is playing well, just not scoring. Joy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nlwt 732 Posted August 31, 2014 I got rid of Sanchez and put Ramsey in last week. That was a derp move, well for this week it was anyway. I just chucked Felipe Luis out and put Ivanovic in using the free transfer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
