Sano Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 51 points. Could have been more. Changed my captain twice (first had Lewandowski, then Srna, both on 12 points) but ended up with Benzema (4 points). Played my wildcard and have this as my team for the next two gamedays: Tyton - Andersen Maggio - Debuchy - Hummels - Maniatis - K. Papadopoulos Dzagoev - Mandzukic - Fabregas - Pirlo - Iniesta Arshavin - Lewandowski - Ibrahimovic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erlando Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Schzeny is just suspended for one game, so you'll be left with just Andersen vs Germany for round 3. (Unless you plan to use your free transfer for a keeper.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sano Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I don't particularly feel confident about any cheap goalkeeper keeping a clean sheet, and the big team goalkeepers are way too expensive, so I'll make do with Andersen for round 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I think if you have a captain on 12 points is it really worth changing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erlando Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 As in 6 points, doubled to 12? It'll only take one goal for the reserve captain(s) to match it, so I'd swap. It's a tight decision though - I kept Shirokov with 8 points for the whole GW. Don't know what I'll do if my captain has 7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baptista_8 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 43 points from first GW.

bluebirds4life Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Can I just ask? If, say Jelavic got 6 points vs Ireland, but then Ibra's on my bench. I want to take off Jelavic and replace him with Ibra for yesterday's game. Will Jelavic then get his points taken away from him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pukey Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yeah, he gets his points taken away from him. No idea why you'd take out Jelavic in that instance though, unless everyone else in your team has 7 or more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ham_aka_stam Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Szczęsny is on your bench but plays before Lindegaard. You should swap them and use substitutions if he fails to perform. Well done Assman you absolute ass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sano Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Quite sure you can. "You can play 1 transfer wildcard during the tournament. All transfers made in the Matchday your wildcard is played will be without points deduction." I think that also applies to transfers already made, during the same gameday. That's the way it works in the Premier League FF as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoroPhil Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 46 points in round one, annoyed I had Akinfeev in there. used my wildcard: Rui Patricio Pereira Pique Ramos © Dzagoev Ozil Van Bommel Rosicky Jelavic Lewandowski Robben Butland, Evra, Henderson and McShane on the bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
el sid Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 That's the way it works in the Premier League FF as well. Is it? I thought it doesn't work that way in PL FF, which is why I assumed this would be similar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pukey Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Only made one change, Srna out for Pilar (saves money, plus Srna is playing as a defender) Cech Alba Piszczek Torossidis Shirokov © Dzagoev Iniesta Ozil Pilar Lewandowski Jelavic Buffon, Ibrahimovic, Cole, Olsson my bench.

Razzler Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Balls. Anyone sure? I might have to leave it until next week. Yes, you will. Once the wildcard is activated then any transfers made are all free even if you 'spent' points already. That's how the Prem works so don't see why this is different You can play 1 transfer wildcard during the tournament. All transfers made in the Matchday your wildcard is played will be without points deduction. It's not any different, it'll cost you nothing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsheffreygreat Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Still really annoyed I didn't go with Mandzukic, knew I'd regret it.

bluebirds4life Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Im going to get rid of Ibra, sticking with Lewandowski and Jelavic, might get rid of Cech too for the Russian GK. Think I might put Iniesta in if I can, such an amazing player! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_ Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 23 points today(subbing out 6 points though) only managed 28 in the first 4 days ffs Dzagoev on 14 points as captain. Tempted to try someone else. Maybe Ronaldo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoopy D Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Dzagoev as captain, Pilar and Arshavin means I've already scored more for this matchday than I did for the last one. Got Iniesta, Nasri and Podolski as potential captains but not sure it's worth the risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_ Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'll be risking the Dzagoev points. He got 14 but Ronaldo or Di Natale might score a couple. And not get a yellow. Worth the risk imo. Need to go big if i want to win. And if they fail Nasri as a back up. So I'll be losing 13 of my 24 points in subs with 2 Greeks and the Polish keeper out for Hart, Alba and Pepe.
