Well there's definitely a while before JP drops, but Isak is predicted going up today...but I guess that's fine.
CynicalEffect
Sigh...want JP over Isak if he plays, but if he doesn't and I wait I'm going to be hit by at least a 0.2 swing in price changes, and there's something in me that hates that even more than potentially having a worse team for the week.
CynicalEffect
Help. I want to WC basically, but I have no WC. I've set out a 6 step transfer plan from left side of image to the right side.
I have a 0.3mil buffer as it stands so should be fine to achieve it..maybe (assuming no injuries lmao), but not sure what to do for THIS week.
Note, Tzolis stays because partly sunk cost, and partly because I think he's actually going to be good for the value when back soon...
Currently 0.9ITB
The main plan is Palmer out and Neto(?) in which frees up funds to help the rest of the team. King goes for Manzambi, and the rest is just defensive improvements.
Konsa gone in a few weeks because I don't want to worry about minutes, Tarko goes after GW10 and Mendy is too injured to be a reliable backup.
The one that makes most sense would normally be King > Manzambi first, with villa at home to Fulham. But currently have 4 players flagged so ideally I want to replace one of those, which only really leaves Mendy out of the ones I want to replace. But then, there's not enough to afford either of the defenders I want to replace him with, unless I ALSO change Tzolakis to Kinsky. Then I can get Muharemovic in for -4.
And this is all before the midweek games comes and fucks up everything anyway.
So assuming nothing changes midweek...just get in Manzambi and hope one of the flags clears? Or..what...
CynicalEffect
Bro it was an arsenal starting defender for 4.5 lol. Hell he was 4.4. That's almost as low as the promoted sides defenders. Think how insane that is.
The clean sheets were inevitable.
CynicalEffect
Even if konsa never kicks a ball in his life again the moment saliba is back, owning a fucking 4.5 arsenal defender starter for months should have been automatic imo
CynicalEffect
Please Trafford I need this 10 points.
CynicalEffect
I've seen a bunch of posts saying money doesn't matter this year, so I decided to do a lazy test of "How much does it cost to get the most points in each position" with a sensible subs bench. (4.5 secondary keeper/4.0 defender/cheapestfodder mid)
I also went schade over rogers/mbeumo because 1 point difference and like 2mil. Also Kustoulas would go ahead of Isak for same reason, but there were already 3 brighton players.
Anyway, the answer is idk, I didn't do the maths. But this is the team. Borderline affordable as is. Just drop Cherki and you too can build the highest points per position team (Past results do not guarantee future performance).
CynicalEffect
Yeah I captained him.. Which is good because on top of that I had Pickford (2), buendia (0), JP (0)
CynicalEffect
One minute with Thomas sub off the perfect start. Reee
CynicalEffect
I both wouldn't be surprised if Brighton beats Liverpool and Coventry beats Fulham.
Meaning there's no way I'm going triple Fulham zero Brighton here
CynicalEffect
If he had just faked the shot he would have avoided the slide tackle from behind, the he couldn't see or account for, and by faking the shot would have given people more time to get back and maybe defend.
I feel like some people have either never played football or don't realise their view on the TV is a lot better than what players can see..
CynicalEffect
I'm going to ignore these stats because I don't like what it tells me after getting Jackson in
CynicalEffect
Not entirely wrong, but I'd rather follow the basic rule of pick the teams that are winning games. Idk, maybe if they look good against coventry too I can start to consider it. But I still think either way he's a good player on a bad team that won't score that many goals.
CynicalEffect
How much do you think king is going to lose in value over the next gw. Most people seem to have brought him in for 3 games, 2 of them blanks so I'm assuming a mass selloff after the third is guaranteed... But I kinda probably have a bigger priority to fix first
CynicalEffect
59 minutes it is then
CynicalEffect
!thanks for doing the analysis in the first place
Manzambi and Hinshelwood were already my next two planned transfers so good to see it backed up by something
And yeah you can only really do it that method comparing within same position
Edit: if it helps, the way I reframe it is in tokens. Min cost is 0 and then every 0.5 mil above is one. Although that works less well now than it did at season start. But the 100mil starting amount is really misleading as 65ish is accounted for regardless and there's just 70ish tokens to spend
CynicalEffect
Is this using actual price or excess above minimum price because they can lead to different numbers and the first 4.5 mill of the cost is pretty irrelevant
CynicalEffect
Want to make 4 changes to my team over the next four weeks.
Manzambi/hinshelwood/raya in + shitter 4.0 GK and tzolis/king/tzolakis/trafford out.
I have a 0.2 mil buffer to make it work...so I feel like it should be fine but what's the order of priority? Best I have is...
1: Tzolis > Manzambi (tzolis is always a price drop threat and manzambi is the new fotm)
2: king > hinshelwood (fulham's easy fixtures are going to be gone, and price drops are coming...but I have a 0.1 buffer that I hope will be enough, but I'm not confident. Hinshelwood hauling this week and playing 60+ minutes will also be a potential disaster and mean I might need to take a hit to make this work in time)
3: tzolakis > shitter GK (tzolakis is another threat of maybe losing value when casuals realise Hull is not a defensive powerhouse...hopefully won't happen just yet though)
4: trafford > raya (trafford price seems secure, Raya's miiiight rise in future with more uncertainty around arsenal defence with saliba coming back and taking konsa minutes, leading to others to want to get the most stable arsenal spot)
Thank you for coming to my tedtalk. I'm sure nobody will even read it let alone reply to it, but yeah.
CynicalEffect
His 3 pointer put him 4th for my team this week...returns.
CynicalEffect
Not sure who to bench.. On the fence between tarko and Thomas tbh
CynicalEffect
Out King/tzolis/ 4.5fodder/Trafford
In Manzambi/mbeumo/belloumi/Raya
Have 4.2 itb so can afford most orders (just not fodder for mbeumo and then GK switch)
Any thoughts?
CynicalEffect
I have no points and I must scream. Made even worse by the fact that I thought I changed captaincy ban to haaland so was fun to find out I didn't when loading this page
CynicalEffect
Am I overthinking the captaincy (yes)
CynicalEffect
Problem isn't just starting on the bench. If he needs a rest he probably gets taken off when city are 2-0 up. Might well have 0 GI at that time
You play FPL to score points. I play FPL to accrue squad value. We are not the same
