SI Staff Simon Tipple Posted June 26, 2010 SI Staff Share Posted June 26, 2010 56 points today, not a bad start. Had Forlan, Donovan and Chung Young who all scored. May end up sticking with M.Pereira who got 5pts in defence but the rest will probably end up being subbed out. So probably only going to take 42 points from day 1. Upson, Milner, Ozil and Rooney in tomorrow and then my 4 Netherlands players will probably go in on Monday. Tuesday will be interesting. I've got Villar, Paraguay's keeper on the bench who I'll probably stick in for Muslera who only got 4 points today. Big decision may be David Villa as I've got Forlan on 18 as captain, Donovon on 10, so if Rooney or V.Persie do well may have to leave Villa out :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Hmmm ... Forlan with 9 and Donovan with 10 ... probably not worth bringing in van Persie and Villa now ... depends what Messi does today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vasilli07 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 What's the max or norm points a gk can get if he gets a clean sheet? 12? Thinking whether to sub out Neuer for Stekelenburg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bacon Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 What do i do. Messi got me 16pts as captain. Do i leave him, or do i put either Kaka, Xavi, Elano, Sneijder or Villa as captain instead and risk it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo DiscoBar Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 If a captain gets 12 or more I leave them in I think a captain needs to score at least a 20 to keep it on him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasilli07 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 A midfielder can easily overtake a striker with a clean sheet and an assist. That would give him 7 pts, if he plays 60 mins, another 3 pts. If he is the captain, he would easily get 20 pts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscillate Wildly Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Left Robben on the bench because all the reports said he wouldn't start, and I didn't want to take out Higuain to make room. Bugger's going to score four now, isn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Do I bring in Villa! Higuan © got 20, Robinho 9 and Hernandez 8........ Same issue here, Messi (16, captain) Donovoan (10) and Suarez (14), the obvious choice would be to sub out Messi and bring Villa in as captain. Are we allowed to have more than two players for each country now? If so, then I've really messed this up, haven't I? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venn Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 We can have 4 from each country. I too have Messi in, and Villa on the bench. But Messi's not my captain, Maicon is so it's not that hard, here's hoping David Villa does more than 8 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo DiscoBar Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 I need to make some ground so have to take a gamble tomorrow. Im on 87 at the moment but Forlan will come out and Villa will go in as captain. If he can just bag a goal I will be OK. I could take a gamble on my Parguay defender but my defence has done OK - 10, 5, 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beffrey Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Couldn't be arsed to sod around so I've made my transfers now. Starting XI of 6 Brazilians and 4 Uruguayans with 3 Argies, 3 Paras and 2 Spaniards to replace any casualties. A little light with my Ghana suspensions but I should be just fine. Fingers crossed that Germany and Holland falter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
