I'll probably captain Aguero this week but Mendy is tempting, he was practically playing as a left winger v Arsenal and very likely to get clean sheet points this week, but it wouldn't surprise me if Aguero got 2-3 goals against Huddersfield and it's still early in the season, playing it safe and going for the higher percentage option is probably the best way to go. Mendy may play further back if Sane comes into the team so it might be worth waiting to see where they play when both on the pitch at the same time. Was a toss up between Aguerro and Kane, went with latter. Taken Mendy... Some great choices by others last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerry mccauley Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Kane gets off the mark at last for Spurs. Some teams like Liverpool , Man city and Man city seem to play the majority of their games on Sunday. Makes a season ticket fairly pointless.

If they are not received the team will be removed from the league and the remaining participants will be those who have sent over their fee for the prize pot.

Thanks to everyone who entered and paid, without checking I think prize pot is around £290...again I will confirm this.

Would be good to get a discussion on how the prize pot should be divvied up, if we want small monthly prizes etc too. Please let me know and we will try sort it before the start of October. thanks everyone and good luck! If it's £290, we could go; 1st £150 2nd £75 3rd £35 4th £20 5th £10 If we're doing a manager of the month prize, if it's from October onwards, if you have 8x £5 prizes, you could do; 1st £135 2nd £70 3rd £30 4th £15 or if you have a £10 prize for each manager of the month, you could pay; 1st £120 2nd £60 3rd £30. My opinion is a manager of the month prize is a good idea to keep people interested for longer, it means people that forget after the first few weeks can rejoin in January, fix their team and still have a chance of winning a prize. One thing that would have to be decided if there is a MotM, do the August and September top managers get a prize as well, some people could say they would have set their team up a bit differently, more short-term orientated if they knew there was a prize for the highest scoring monthly team and they were near the top. Also, I'm not sure how I would feel if I had been the top manager last month and a prize was brought in after I had won it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Rebus MF Djoum Marooned in Maywick Rudi's Left Peg HKFC Reddlemen AC Yerbaws Now i didn't remove you guys from the league and i know you have paid, so don't worry! Can you just check and see if you seem to be a member of the league? For some reason when i go into league admin it is only showing 44 teams, and you guys aren't there. What i can confirm is that with you guys above, along with everyone else brings our prize pot total to £306, which is fantastic. So thank you all!!

Statto Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Best start I've made to a season, top 25k rank. I know I should try and get Matt Doherty in, £4.7m, good attacking potential, Wolves solid at the back, but when I look at him, I can only see that guy that still has nightmares about Andy Driver tearing him apart on the 19th of May. I just can't do it. I'm looking at bringing in Kenedy for Newcastle, they've had a very difficult start but they have very good fixtures in the next 10, no top-6 side and 6 home games. £4.9m so a decent 5th midfielder option, a low risk gamble.

Statto Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 What are your thoughts on Kane replacements? The two obvious players at the same price points are Aubameyang and Aguero. One of these allows you to keep the same squad structure. Aubameyang has the highest expected goals over the past 6 matches but faces Chelsea and Man City in the next 3. Aguero will share minutes with Jesus who is in good form just now, 7 goals in his last 3 games, albeit 2 games against lower league opposition. If you could guarantee Aguero getting 140+ minutes in his next 2 games against Huddersfield and Newcastle, he'd be a good option, but I doubt he will. There are a few forwards around the £7m-£10m mark. Firmino (£9.3m), Vardy (£8.9m) and Rashford (£7.5m). I've not included Jesus because he's £10.1m and not guaranteed to start games. Firmino has 4 goals in his last 6 in the league, only Kane and Son have more, Liverpool play 3 home games in their next 4 and will have no blank gameweeks. Vardy is in there because Leicester face Liverpool, Man U and Spurs in the next 4, those are Vardy fixtures. He's scored 16 goals in 24 games against those 3 sides, he's scored 3 in his last 2 v Spurs, 2 in his last 2 against Man United and 7 in his last 5 against Liverpool. A lot depends on what Leicester turns up, the one that has lost to Southampton, Newport and Cardiff in the last 3 weeks or the one that beat Chelsea and Man City over Christmas. Rashford is probably the best option of them all. I already have him so have to look elsewhere. Man United have hit form under Solskjaer, Rashford seems to be his first choice ahead of Lukaku but even if Lukaku starts, Rashford could start alongside him or on the wing, I can't see him losing his place in the team any time soon. Another option is to change your squad structure completely, downgrading Kane to a budget option and upgrading your 5th midfielder to a premium option and playing a 3-5-2. Llorente is Spurs only fit striker but they've been without Kane before and went with someone else. He's only £5.6m so would be incredible value if he starts games, my own opinion is they go with Moura, he's only £6.8m. Moura for a £4.5m midfielder would give you around £10m for a forward, If I was doing this, it would be Moura and Firmino in. Jimenez has offered the 2nd best value for money this season, 15 points per million, behind only Wilson. Bringing in Jimenez leaves you enough for someone like Alli, he's scored 10 goals in 14 games that Kane was injured previously. If you do go with Llorente, Sterling could become an option depending on your selling prices. Sterling is more assured of a starting place over Aguero or Jesus and Man City may have a double gameweek in GW25 if either Man City or Everton make the FA Cup 5th round and neither goes to a replay. I have 2 free transfers but I'm looking to only use 1 to leave 2 for GW24. I'm thinking of going Firmino at home to Palace this weekend and then making a move to bring in a 5th premium midfielder for GW24. By then we'll know which 2 games will be blank for GW27 for the LC Final, Spurs play 3 times between now and the GW24 deadline so we'll have a much better idea of how they will line-up and lastly, there could be big transfers announced during that time, Higuain is close to signing for Chelsea, depending on his price, he could be a good option.
