lifetimegooner Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Because they need a holding midfielder since they didnt get Vieira, Emerson or Xabi Alonso, so they will play Woodgate and Samuel in central defence and then Helguera will play the holding midfield position.

FaRSightxc2 Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 After today I decided to bite the bullet, sell Wright-Phillips and buy Black cheaply for 4m, and use the remaining cash to swap Cisse with Henry. It cost me 4 points, but it has to be worth it. No more transfers for me for a while! (But now my team is looking particularly good - watch out, league leaders....)

Everton1878 Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Top of the league :) Forgot that Forsell wouldn't play against Chelsea Inspired transfer to get Melberg :) Other annoying thing was that I was going to by Gravesen!!

Powa Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 ^ I don't realy know as I've just traded a load of players who were not doing well, but i just got Henry :happy: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/198472-neowins-official-fantasy-soccer-thread/page/6/#findComment-584415673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredde87 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 it would be nice to have henry but then I have to sacrify two players to afford him :/ Clement was a big suprise, I would not expect any west brom to be at the top... Terry did better than I thought he would do, I thought he was overrated and that with new purchases he wouldnt play from the start this season but he has done well... Okotcha is a bit of a risk and it turned out well for the people who choose him, remember he only scored one league goal last season... Lehmann is disapointing so far but I think that will change, he was unlucky and lost a lot of points this week....

Okotcha is a bit of a risk and it turned out well for the people who choose him, remember he only scored one league goal last season... Lehmann is disapointing so far but I think that will change, he was unlucky and lost a lot of points this week.... We have to remember we have only played two games. Clement will be nowhere near the top in a months time. As for John Terry, he will always do well because of the team he plays for. Chelsea, as a team, will concede very few goals due to their ability as a team, and Mohrinio's defensive tactics, and therefore Terry will score very highly. As for Okotcha, he is still a risk, particularly for those that signed him after his two goals in the first game. I do not think he will keep that form up for the rest of the season, and is therefore a waste of money for those that didn't have him for the first game. Lehmann, as the Arsenal 'keeper, will always score highly in a season due to Arsenal's good defencive record in the premiership. He has just got off to a slow start. As for Henry I have taken the risk to sell two players to afford him and I wish I had him from the start. It has to be worth it as the most consistant striker in the Pemiership. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/198472-neowins-official-fantasy-soccer-thread/page/6/#findComment-584417507 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powa Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I don't know why I change really as my players aren't doing that bad, but then I look at the league table I'm way down there, like wtf I was first after day one :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/198472-neowins-official-fantasy-soccer-thread/page/6/#findComment-584418107 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only week 2!!! Basicly, keep the players who stay the same value or increse in value, also keep those that decrece in value that you think are good, or worthwhile and only consider transferring the ones that have gone down in value that you don't have confidence in after around week 9 or 10. Tactical selling of players up in value that you think have got there by luck is also a good idea. That way you can actually make money on the players you started with! Also, whoever NUFC Rulez and Al K is should remember transfers cost four points!!!!! Eight Transfers in two weeks is incredible! At one free transfer a week and therefore 6 transfers that cost, thats 24 points you have sacrificed!

Fredde87 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Will players cost increase during injury? I have viera and he is injured.. should I replace him and then get him again when he is healthy?

If he is going to be fit soon then keep him. If he is not then maybe you should do some tactical buying of another player untill just before he is fit *you can follow his progress on bbc.co.uk/spot or Sky Sports News* then buy him back. The choice, my friend, is yours. Just be careful that the player you swap him for doesnt go down in price or you wont be able to afford to buy him back :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/198472-neowins-official-fantasy-soccer-thread/page/6/#findComment-584419658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
