Andy135 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Well @mike farrants, you had a good GW8. And so did you @JonC, leapfrogging me up the table. My team report reads: "Must try harder". Time for some more transfers I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you've already used up your weekly free transfer. Rules are one free transfer per week. You can roll one over to the next week so max of two free transfers if the previous week's transfer was unused. Any extra transfers above your allowance incur a 4 point penalty per transfer.

It’s like a socially acceptable version of that dungeons and dragons stuff you do with the little models I guess .

You're getting confused Jon. Dungeons & Dragons never used little models. Warhammer is the one with the models. #releaseyourinnergeek!

mike farrants Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 yes good game week for me - captained Salah, and again as i said before my cheap but 'busy' keeper (Krul) had a very good game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you'l do well to get 9 points out of Krul this week, we got Chelsea. I'm in 2 minds whether to keep him in or not. Kane finally came good and he was on the bench!! Doh!!

Doh!! werner and lukaku out, havertz yet to find his form, Champions league game mid week, im keeping Krul..... he is a great keeper and will have shots fired at him - thats where he cracks up the points. that's a risk worth taking for me! i cant see norwich winning - but i dont think chelsea will run riot either!

(dont blame me if it goes wrong though) Yeah, but Chelsea have pace aplenty, the city defence don't..... I hope I'm wrong, but realism kicks in. We've been crap, especially at the back, I think Farke is out of his depth in the prem. The joys of football eh?? 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike farrants Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 i have soft spot for Norwich, i had Pukki for a while i thought he'd relish being back in the prem but i swapped him for Toney - i'm going to keep Krul - simply because after chelsea he has a good run of easy(er) games. that gives me 2x transfers to firm up my defence the following week (Matty Targett aint doing it for me and navarro left watford weeks ago!)

Oddly, this kind of mirrors the last 2 promotion seasons, bad starts then by GW10 they sort themselves out and went on to be division champions!! Not saying they gonna win the prem (although we were very close the 1st ever prem season), but if we at least pick up 40 points I think fans would be happy regardless of whether we stay up or go down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook12 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I have to say, thanks to my teams 7-0 battering, Mr Mason Mount picked up 21 points, Krul still got a point!!! Kane and the scousers play tomorrow....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
