Fantasy Premier League 2016/17 - The Bear and Badger

I transferred in Pedro. No doubt William will be picked over him to start the next match.

cockbeard

But gutted they doubled his minus one, that's rather harsh

[Deleted User]

Poor week for fixtures but I still managed grab 55 points. That'll do.

[Deleted User]

Not only did I get Pedro in I shipped out Son who got a goal and an assist I think.

[Deleted User]

I figured Tottenham would do well today and brought Eriksen in. Usually when I transfer I look at the fixture list for the best week and which team I fancy to get tonked.

[Deleted User]

I wasn't going to change anything because Spurs had a good fixture and Chelsea wasn't so sure. Then woke up this morning and panicked.

[Deleted User]

Poor you.

mistercrayon

Good old sanchez!

[Deleted User]

Number 90 in China now.

77 points and building a lead. Cocko up to third and elf being elf.

cockbeard

I've got two transfers in the bank and that should tide me through until January

Still feeling confident, tinkerer I might be but it's actually at least kept me interested this year

I am on the verge of giving up.

Not even halfway through the season, plus in a couple of weeks you have free reign to tear it up and start again. You could have your name mentioned in the same breath as Allardyce, Warnock, Redknapp, Curbishley, and the daddy of them all Dave 'Harry' Bassett the original Houdini

You get one free transfer each week, and can store up to two of them. Unused Ines disappear into the ether.

cockbeard

Exactly, but given that a main player is out until the window opens and I already have strong points in that position, I'm glad I have two in the bank as I need to use two this week. Aguero out, weak-ish striker in, weak-ish midfielder out strong in with Aguero monies

hylian_elf

I'll soldier on. Gonna have to reshape. Wild card in Jan?

Eric

Yep

cockbeard

Don't waste it, you get full rebuild with the transfer window, if you've still a wildcard you might want it Ayer the African nations cup when those players come back

Sorry, guys, I was coming to apologise for being late this week, and I realised I never provided an update at all last week. Poor show.

First up, deadline for changes is 11.30am on Saturday.

So, how did last week go? Abysmally for me. I ended up spending four points to make an extra transfer. How did it go for the players, though? Well, it was a high scoring week for some...

1 Sánchez ARS MID 23

A hatrick, an assist, 90 minutes played and 3 point man of the match bonus. Ker-ching.

2 Eriksen TOT MID 18

Much the same as Sanchez, the clean sheet point made up for only getting a 2 point bonus, and he scored one less goal.

3 Fraser BOU MID 15

He maybe only played 36 minutes, but in that time he got a goal and two assists, and took the 3 point bonus.

4 Muniesa STK DEF 14
4 Brunt WBA DEF 14

This week's top scoring defenders both bagged a goal, played the majority of the match, and got 3 bonus points. Brunt also got an assist, while Muniesa kept a clean sheet, but picked up a yellow.

6 Tomkins CRY DEF 13
6 Kane TOT FWD 13

Kane was the best forward this week, the horse-face flukey cunt that he is.

8 Chamberlain ARS MID 12
8 Costa CHE FWD 12
8 Christian Benteke CRY FWD 12

If Costa wasn't such a dirty, cheating cunt, he'd deserve his place amongst the best.

Team of the week:
Grant (Burnley) (8.)
Muniesa, Brunt, Tomkins
Sanchez, Erickson, Fraser, Chamberlain
Kane, Benteke, Costa

The Bear & Badger League

1 Saint Cintters 77 762

The Saints have a fairly commanding (but by no means unassailable) lead. With three players out until after Christmas, does the squad have enough depth to keep the wolves at bay until the next wildcard becomes available?

2 Wet Dream Team 70 717

Wet Dream have not dissimilar squad issues, and relied heavily on Sanchez as captain for their score this week. Let's hope their pleasant spell doesn't give way to cold, sticky discomfort in their pyjama bottoms.

3 Dean Court Dream 66 704

Never far in the table from their phantasmagoric rivals, they didn't have Sanchez as captain, but the squad generally performed better.

4 Spatac Blutac 80 697

Team of the week. Sanchez as captain. Costa up front. Nuff said.

5 Inter Milambo 43 694
6 Le Saux Solid Crew 74 694
7 Inglorious Back Pass 30 691
8 Lips XI 77 666
9 SHOUTYKENNETHS 57 665
10 11 Desperate Men 60 660
11 Quantum_Elephants 72 652
12 Secret layer o Pesto 35 640
13 Coch periscope FC 56 624
14 West End Mafia 61 613
15 Danchester United 52 607
16 SqueakyBumTim 37 600
17 Kokiri Rangers 34 596
18 Drewnited 28 592

Defoe as captain got 18 of the 28 points. Utter pish.

19 Fuchs of Hazard 26 585

The only team to do worse than me this week. Chambers in defence and Hazard in midfield secured 16 of the 26 points between them.

20 Eat my goal! 39 582

Not a terrible week by any means, keeping it tight in the relegation spots.

[Deleted User]

Squad is ready. Had to make 2 switches - Aguero and Austin out due to suspension and injury. Didn't want the points penalty but I feared I'd lose too many points over the next few weeks if I didn't. Let's hope it holds together until they both come back.

[Deleted User]

All downhill for u now m8

Dinostar77

Anyone got vardy in for this weekend? Thus years FF is so unpredictable.

cockbeard

Changes seemed to suck for me

Aguero and Phillips out, Kane and Eriksen in

Surprise sur-bastard-prise, whilst Holebas finally repaid my faith in him, I left Capoue in to the detriment of the five points that Joe Allen brought to my bench. For the first time in a long time however I have quite a few players left to play tomorrow

[Deleted User]

Remember that it's a quick turnaround, folks; deadline is 6.45pm GMT on Tuesday.

hylian_elf

So I got the second highest number of points this week... and I go down a position??

[Deleted User]

Bad week for me, and Charlie Austin will be out for months. Ffs.

Did you look at the league before everything was confirmed/settled?

I'm a bit pissed off that the automatic substitution subbed in a defender who scored six points, rather than the defender who scored ten.

You didn't end up losing too much ground though, don't think anyone had a great week.

I had to make a number of changes due to injury too so sacrificed four points but still managed to jump a place into the Europa League spot despite my new signings contributing very little.

Still got one long term injury to replace before tomorrow too but funds are tight.

That is frustrating but it does them in the udder you have them on the bench, and it will change your formation to respect the order, so it's also in our own hands, which doesn't help ease the frustration really. I want to blame the software

Howdy, Stranger!
