The Homeless SZS fantasy league thread

[cyrille]

Interesting dilemma up front isn't it.

Natural goalscorer who needs to rediscover his form in team that's been doing quite crap lately (luke) vs natural goalscorer who needs to rediscover his form in team that's been doing astoundingly crap lately (benny).

Both sides with good fixtures.

Hmm.

[Jofrey]

I reckon Bony could be gold..

[Jimmy McNulty]

value whore

up 700k....got most of the decent players....

700k in week 3 is like 5k in week 20.

[Jofrey]

700k is better than 699k

[cyrille]

[Jimmy McNulty]

Yes, the Gordon Gekko of Fantasy Football. If Joffers could merge and acquire teams before liquidating their assets, he would. He should be playing the financial markets not the transfer markets.

[Jofrey]

you sponked yours out yet G?

[Jimmy McNulty]

No. Gonna hold onto the grim death. May yet take a hit. I've got Ags out and Hazard in already, but this Andre Gray stuff is problematic and got two yellows at the back and one non-starting defender.

Off to watch a lecture shortly about Football Manager and metrics in football. In the lecture theatre next to my office https://www.britishsciencefestival.o...tball-manager/

I'll be sure to spill the beans on any insights I get here.

Etienne Capoue is undervalued (which a few of us guessed, having him from week 1 ).

Watford could potentially have the new Messi.

Alex McLeish's kid told him Messi was going to be the best player in the world when the Argentine was just 13.

Citeh have more scouts than anyone, covering more parts of the world than anyone.

Fleetwood Town have a brilliant youth academy.

Peace (I think he said it was him) told the guy that Berahino was the fifth best player to come out of their youth system that year but all the rest were taken for up to 200k each. It's all a bit of a joke, basically.

[Luigi]

Foking Jimmy.


The next Jorge Mendes.

[Jofrey]

Watford could potentially have the new Messi.

[Jimmy McNulty]

Shame he's on loan at Udinese, is already 19, and doesn't seem to score any goals. Maybe those algorithms of 95% accuracy on whether a player will live up to or down to Football Manager's 1300 global scouts' expectations have got it wrong on this one.

[cyrille]

Jimmy, as it seems you're based in swansea, what are the chances of Amat and that other 4.1 lad being regulars?

[Jimmy McNulty]

I work there but commute in from more appropriate climes. For the time being anyway.

I was at a Q&A yesterday with the Swansea Supporters Trust and about 20 Swansea fans but I stupidly asked about safe standing as opposed to Swansea's Fantasy Football prospects. I'll ask my mate tomorrow though.

[cyrille]

^thanks.
i see rolf has headed straight to the bottom of the league with two boro forwards.
good to see some things don't change.

[Jimmy McNulty]

Amat is apparently a safer bet than Kingsley. But Kingsley is keeping Neil Taylor out of the side and Taylor is fit. They haven't brought anyone in that challenges either of their positions that much apparently. There's this new Mawson guy but he's more likely to challenge others.

[cyrille]

ok thanks.

masterclass from kdb yesterday.270,000 managers had capoue benched . could be a lot of 3-5-2s next gwk but i just know defoe will score v spurs.

[Dillinger]

That cnut Sanchez saying he was at Messi's level in the week.

Did any other nob believe that

Ive got Defoe for one night only. Iheanacho is his replacement and captained already for next week.

[Jimmy McNulty]

I love bench-points.

[cyrille]

a brace from jermaine should sort it.

[blue]

A brutal week for points
even the herd ,all miraculously choosing Hazard as captain etc, got pasted

still i have 3 Everton players today against Sunderland

[Jimmy McNulty]

465k jump yesterday just for having the right captain and hanging on in there with a couple of midfielders.

Erikssen looked interested again and Firmino looks like he's going to remain a Klopp favourite in an advanced position even with Sturridge in.

When to bring Ags back? and whether to wildcard to do it or not? Joffers?
