4 top players is gonna cost you 50 mil

same most years though isn't it?

i think they have made it more interesting with the relatively low pricing of said arse players....along with mata and yaya....cabaye in at 6.5 too...

[cyrille]

None of those seem underpriced.

Cabaye is pushing 30 at palace

And Yaya?

You're pushing Yaya now?

I think they should've pushed the budget up to 110.

And yes, I'm getting my excuses in early.

[Jofrey]

You're pushing Yaya now?

will be on penos if Agureo is out...

[Jofrey]

a 3 -5 -2 seems very appealing....

[cyrille]

One of your power midfields involving Colin Hangeron?

[Jofrey]

perchaps....

thinking Ritchie and Deeney will be very popular picks.

[Jimmy McNulty]

Have you noticed this season's little innovations?

Appear to be additional options, maybe for one week plays.

All out attack - 2-5-3 formation for the next gameweek
Triple captain - captain's points are tripled as opposed to doubled
Bench boost - bench scores included in your total

Also:

Wildcard changes. The January wildcard no longer exists but there are still 2.

The Wildcard chip can be used twice a season, once in the first half of the season (before 28 Dec 14:00) and once in the second half of the season.

[Jofrey]

this season's little innovations?

ya....think the tokens will add a bit of spice to the mix. can only use a single one per gameweek and not in conjuction with a wildcard.

best use will be for the big double gameweeks later in the season.

[Bruce Bayliss]

Enter one team this season or get booted again, Bruce.

One team entered Cy...thank you for allowing me to use my favourite emoticom

[cyrille]

What's this 'tokens' thing then, chaps?

I like the idea of triple captain's points.

Sometimes that's about the only difference between teams...

Are you gonna go for 'ultimate' this season, Jimmy?

[cyrille]

OK so 'tokens' is jof's personal word for 'chips'.
Got it.

[Bruce Bayliss]

Is the AJF comp running by itself? It just seems to keep on going.

[Jofrey]

triple captain points sound good....will be tears aplenty if it's on the wrong one

[Jofrey]

you must be happy with the Manure purchases Bruce..

got a seriously tough midfield now with Bastian and Morgan in there to shore things up.

front four will be interesting......possible to leave ADM and Young out?

Depay - Herrara - Mata
Rooney

[cyrille]

Yeah pig boy is a good buy at 15 million and shipping out rvp makes sense too. I think di Maria will go to psg.

[Bruce Bayliss]

you must be happy with the Manure purchases Bruce..

Yes...so is Cy...amazing what a decent manager will do

[Jofrey]

I think di Maria will go to psg.

so soon?

[cyrille]

LvG fancies Cavani. PSG wanted ADM when he was leaving Real Madrid. Both ADM and Mata in the side leaves a distinct absence of tracking back...

[Jimmy McNulty]

Are you gonna go for 'ultimate' this season, Jimmy?

Nah. Still feel the same as last season. There're only so many hours in the day.

[cyrille]

I tried to log on to it today from Chiang Mai and I was barred because I was in a country that bars Internet gambling.

No problem last season in Abu Dhabi...or with buying a beer at 3pm.

So I s'pose I'll have to quit as a winner.

[Jofrey]

Not got an engurlish credit card ciz?

[cyrille]

I haven't, but that's not the issue. Entry from Thailand is barred. Nothing to do with where your credit card is based. I can't be bothered with vpn palaver.

[cyrille]

Looking at my team I think it'll be week 4 max for the wildcard.

[cyrille]

So, I read that they've been fiddling around with the bonus points system to keep everyone adequately confused.
Fewer points for pass completion from midfielders. So guys like Cazorla become less attractive than goal scorers like Ramsey, right?

[Jofrey]

i think its more for defenders....they've allocated more bonus now for CBI than completed passes. so dominant central defenders like Kos and Terry will cream even more bonus points.

not so sure it will have a huge points impact on the mids.
