So didnt realise you have to save your team after changing captains etc. Stuck with Firmino captain instead of Kane  :(

If it makes you feel any better, Firmino was excellent in the UCL mid-week.

This game's such a dog, I'm having the worst start.

Don't know whether to activate the WC or not

[elephants]

Forgot to touch my team, luckily didn't cost me... In fact my rage Capt of Salah C last Monday paid off! ;D

[Nige]

Had to get rid of Klaassen and RLC, so KdB gets one more week unless I take the free hit.

Ok im happy now  ;D

[Koop]

Happy with the 56 I got this week, even if watching Kane continually pepper the goal with no reward is getting really irritating.  :'(

Long to Mbemba is transfer 1, will probably save the second one for next week. Hart not doing too flash however, neither is Gross.

Popped 68 last week, cannot complain there!

However I am considering playing my wildcard, and in turn using this two week break to play with the market a bit. Kane for example is set to drop 0.2 over the two weeks, while someone like Firmino is certainly going to rise.

Or am I missing this completely? :P

If I trade Kane to Firmino now for 4.0 profit, and Kane drops to 12.3 and Firmino rises to 8.7 by the weekend, will I be able to reverse that trade using the wildcard and take the 'profit'?

Yep, if your wildcarding, get rid of Kane now, and buy him back in at a cheaper price.

Ugh, Firmino and Morata went up this morning. Reckon that alone ruins the value in playing the market for this two week block

[Menzel Washington]

Used my wild card already. Forward line looking very strong with Morata, Firmino and Lukaku :)

[PowerBug]

This wildcard is doing my head in. My position breakdown is below, but the start has been so bad I'm thinking of rolling with the Fantasy AFL strategy or Guns and rookies,. So I'll have as many of the big hitters I can fit in, and then roll with 4.5 backs and mids (I'll go 3 heavy up top) for the remaining spots.

GK: Foster, Elliot
Never considered changing this

Def: Alonso
That's the only player I've locked in at this point. So after this point I need to decide whether to go with another quality defender (or 2?), or just roll with 4.5 from then on. Top line backs would be Bertrand, Man U back or Everton back.

Mids: Mane, Pogba
These two aren't locked in but I have the price rises on them already so I'm likely to hold them, I'm deciding whether to roll with a 3rd one or go with THREE 4.5 guys (Carroll, Cork and maybe I'll go slightly more expensive if $$ allow for the other) and field one of them every week (means I get more in defence). If I get a 3rd heavy hitter it'll have to be Eriksen.

Fwds: Lukaku, Firmino, Morata
Morata is there right now, but I will be switching him to Kane as he's had the price drop now. Just hoping Morata can go up another 0.1 so I get to make 0.1 on the sale.


So yeah, any thoughts guys? What are you all doing?

[Nige]

I already made my two transfers for this week but I still have KdB so I think I might just take the hit and get rid of him. Not sure who to bring in. Thinking like Eriksen or Alli.

[Mongoose528]

KDB out for Alli and Kompany out for Jones this week for a -4.

I'll use my wilcard later on, still a lot of the year to come.

[Koop]

PASCAL!!!!! :-*

[Nige]

Of course KdB outscored Eriksen. :P
