Guest idol_wild Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 It's also worth noting that it's not necessarily the goalkeepers who keep the most clean sheets that earn the most points tallies. Goalkeepers get extra points for accumulated saves per match and star performances. Last season Jaaskelainen went through a spell as one of the top points scorers because of all the saves and star performances he put in. Brad Friedal did the same for Blackburn Rovers a couple of seasons back and Robert Green for West Ham last year. He was awesome, I thought.It's also worth keeping an eye on the teams who score frequently from set-pieces; transfer in the players who take said set-pieces as they'll provide crucial assist points from time to time, as well as being in with a shout for a star performance bonus. Penalty takers are an obvious breed to transfer in, too.I'm a bit foolish for sharing such tips (though I'm guessing they're obvious to pretty much all of you, but it took me about three months to learn such strategies, but then I am quite slow)...but I just want to share the wealth and hopefully maintain everyone's interest in the game, because last season people didn't really play after about a month.

Didz Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Shall stick my team in......fook the strikers, i tended to play a 4-5-1 last season.I believe the secret is getting a back 4 with the less expensive defenders that play for teams that don't concede much (Fulham, Everton) then packing your midfield with goal scoring midfielders.Defenders get points for clean sheets then you've the added bonus if they score known again / assists...midfielders get points for clean sheets / assists / goals while strikers only get 4 points for a goal and lets face it a strikers delighted if he gets one a game.My team this season isSchwarzerHibbert Hangeland Woodgate Luke YoungLampard Gerrard © Alonso Delap WalcottOwenI've probably now jinxed myself with everything i've said!!

Dan G Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 the good defenders are fucking expensive this year!I think all those nil - nils last year, meant more clean sheets and more points for defenders.. and it's pushed the price up.

Lemonade Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 The head-to-head league that turns into a cup at the end - I currently have it set so the top 8 go into a playoff cup, but I can alter it so it's the top 4 or even the top 2. 8 might be a bit much since there are only 13 teams in it, so I'm proposing making it the top 4 go into the playoffs.Yay / Nay?

Dan G Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 My team is now looking pretty good.My tip for value players would be sunderland this year. They've bought a couple of decent players, but more importantly Steve Bruce is now their manager and he did a great job with Wigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Poor start for me too. Not one of my players got on the score sheet! Sitting 18th of 21 in the points tally league, and roundly beaten by Bri Fudge in the head to heads. Must do better next week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didz Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 The head to head league kicks ass by the way.It does give it an extra edge! Hoping for 3 points again mid-week, Farcalona should be severely weakened due to European games.Will he peak early and use his wildcard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Robert Green for West Ham last year. He was awesome, I thought.Bob G is the best netminder in all the land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only because I made the ridiculous error of spending extra points swapping rooney + a midfielder for Arshavin + a striker. It cost me 8 points making extra transfers and 22 net points as Rooney was my captain but I changed it to Arshavin.Stupid fucking Arsenal cuntyballs.
