The Homeless SZS fantasy league thread

don't look at that thing

forces you to over think

zehner has it on an Rss feed

[cyrille]

Only one albion player out of their five recommendations is uninjured and has been getting picked for the last month.

And the list was apparently updated a couple of weeks ago.

[ChiangMai noon]

shhhh

wish i had the odd west brom defender for their inevitable clean sheet this weekend

[cyrille]

There couldn't have been a more 'inevitable' clean sheet than the one we were supposed to get last weekend.

Cornelius looks a strange choice for a promoted club to spend 8 mil on.

indeed

mackay said something paraphrased like this after last weekend's debacle

"he's one for the future, you can't expect him to hit the ground running...that's not what 8 million buys you"

the mind boggles

surely the priority was staying up
seems an enormous portion of the transfer budget to spunk on 'one for the future'...especially given that not many managers have any sort of future

[ChiangMai noon]

actual quote

"It's helping to have Andreas back now, but he is a long-term option.

"He's someone we have on a long contract and he's young.

"We've got potential there, we've not got a proven, hit-the-ground-running striker. That's not what £7m gets you, that's what £25m gets you in the Premier League. We have young potential here to add to the squad."

fee now reduced to 7 million

we spent 2 million odd last season on a slovenian striker that is never ever going to play for the first team again...2 appearances all championship season

not convinced malky has an eye for attackers...nor attacking for that matter

[ChiangMai noon]

christian benteke cost villa 7 million

[cyrille]

Yeah, 'potential' is a million quid tops in Cardiff's position last August, surely.

I wonder if corny has any malaysian mates.

[ChiangMai noon]

there were loads of cardiff fans that were so sold on his youtube highlights that they put him straight into their fantasy teams

[ChiangMai noon]

mind you, i toyed with the idea of van wolfswinkel

[NickA]

christian benteke cost villa 7 million

have a look at the everton front line.... they haven't spent 8 million on the lot of them put together.... i think jelavic is the most at 5 million, the rest were either free, on loan or cost less than £1 million

[cyrille]

More hits for joffrey.

Oscar and Lampard out ... Hazard in?

Or has Ivan the terrible finally got the chop?

Everton's front line looks worth no more than they paid for it to me - with the obvious exception of Lukaku.

[ChiangMai noon]

i don't understand that post cy, apart from the everton bit

why would jof need to take hits?

[cyrille]

I'm not saying he needs to - I'm saying he has.

2 transfers this game week.

6 in 3 game weeks now.

[ChiangMai noon]

how can you tell how many transfers he's made before the game week starts?
i tried looking at that myself

[ChiangMai noon]

blimey jof has done 26 transfers up to last week

speaks of a lack of forward thinking and doubt....needs to get off those fantasy scout websites

[cyrille]

I can't do screenshots on this laptop I'm afraid.

It's in the 'transfers and finance' box.

'Total Transfers 26
Gameweek Transfers 2'

[ChiangMai noon]

cheers


i just had a look at his stats and he made 4 transfers in week 10

what was that all about????

[ChiangMai noon]

^^

doesn't that refer to game week transfers last games week?

[cyrille]

blimey jof has done 26 transfers up to last week

26 including this week.

[ChiangMai noon]

re-i has shown the way

just 11 transfers up to now

[cyrille]

^^

doesn't that refer to game week transfers last games week?

No. The gameweek referred to is this gameweek, ie gameweek 16.

[cyrille]

i just had a look at his stats and he made 4 transfers in week 10

what was that all about????

Mignolet out for Boruc, Sturridge out for Suarez, Eriksen out for Silva, Michu out for Oscar.

So three of those four have been injured at some point since he signed them six weeks ago.

A good illustration of how part of my revival, for example, has simply been luck with injuries.

Kiwiling spunked his wad on Gerrard last week. *snigger*

[Jofrey]

I think Fulham are a different proposition now....don't put much faith in Lukaku.

Aguero might be the man.

[ChiangMai noon]

i'm going with billy jones as skipper
