Looks like you need a midfield. Maybe swap out Aguero while he's injured. You won't be surprised if I recommend Silva :lol:

Played my wildcard. Had to be done - I'd been showing FAR too much sentiment towards players I liked but who are cr*p.

Bummer, I forgot about the the international matches (still we got Estonia in the qualifiers, woo, hoo!) this week and transferred Aguero for Van Persie, now he's close to recovering. This fantasy football makes me wish for strange things, like a player staying injured and all the big teams winning and keeping clean sheets 8O

wildcard's made no difference - 1.5 weeks since, still no goals! Though 3 of the players I transferred OUT scored :(

It can be very frustrating waiting for the changes to come good. I hope you didn't take my advice about Silva, he had his worst week of the season last week :?

It can be down to luck as well. I was haunted last week when Dzeko didn't play and my sub came up with 10 points to salvage my week. Or maybe it was skill on my part :roll:

What was really funny was that they were as delighted to get us as we were to get them. We can definitely beat them, but they also reckon that they have a good chance against us. They're right, of course, this current team struggles against weaker teams. Still, better than Turkey :biggrin:

I had Ba in my team at start of season, he wasn't playing then so I sold him. Then he pops up with a couple of hatricks. :roll: I'm convinced I'm jinxed in this game!

Did okay this week. Was blessed with my automatic substitutions, combined score added 21 points, woo hoo! And I got bonuses for five players, I couldn't believe it :biggrin: In saying that, I had Van Persie in when Aguero was injured, swapped him out and then he scores 5 in two games :-x This game would drive you dimension! I'm serial! :crazy:

Did ok?? I think you did pretty damn well - assuming you are Uss's Mush? :D 73 points ain't bad, and you're now 8 point behind me and closing.

Van Persie is having a purple patch, but I can't afford him now! What's the go with the Wildcard transfer? Does that mean you can change your entire team for free?

Not too shabby yourself. 35 from your forwards alone! And it could have been a lot more if you had to have one of the others as your captain.

I think you have two wild cards that allow you unlimited transfers. One that you can use anytime and one either during or after the January transfer window. I used mine when it became obvious that Dzeko and Aguero weren't going to necessarily be playing each week, and Bale wasn't playing well and I needed to change my goalie, and Zamora wasn't scoring etc.

Your team looks good. I'm not sure how using your wildcard would improve it. (But then I would say that wouldn't I, being only 8 points behind and closing fast :twisted: )

[EDIT]Woo hoo! Ireland 4 - 0 Estonia.Finally, we're going to qualify for something :letsparty: :letsparty: :letsparty: :letsparty: :letsparty:

Seems to have been a poor weekend all round. My defenders garnered me the grand total of 1 point :?
