Sky Fantasy Football 17/18

[Tim Bisley]

I’ll have 37 left after Lacazette Vardy tonight.

Had a couple of bad weeks though so would’ve been better burning a few.

[RINKY]

Done a few to many trfs recently.

740 pts 556th place 27 trf left...

2nd team had a blinding week 136 pts but still miles behind..

[KingMonkey]

Good going Yorkie
749/32 my best tean, quite happy with that at present.

Lots of people looking to jump all over city at the moment and could this be the year where cheap defenders might not be the best way to go.

Lots of risk with sterling, aggro and jesus. KDB and Silva look the safest at the moment

Is otomendi this years alonso ?

I personally think that plenty will get caught out with transfers as they might be to relient on the overhaul

[Yorkshire Exile]

decent...

hoping some of them transfers might pay off at ca 20 ppt later down the line. either via 2-0 or through cappos...

[RINKY]

Not a big scoring week but at least picked my top scoring player as capt.. was only 8 pts though..

[Yorkshire Exile]

Picked kolasenic as cappo....

In my 2nd team....

Salah in first...

Look forward to it...

I'll settle for the 23k for winning the 20 and 5 pound leagues unless your in them....

[Yorkshire Exile]

Yep entered all cash leagues between my two teams. Sat incognito just off the leader boards. Fraid you'll just have to settle for second

Suppose I'll take 11k then..

897/34 my best here

Sliding away having not capped Salah last two weeks

[RINKY]

I know this forum has had a few winners of tff and a few 2nds, some say chokers, but cannot say that myself as never been in a position to choke..

Has anybody done well in sky before and if so what tactics would you advise, if the game format is still the same.

Thanks

[Yorkshire Exile]

kingmonkey and nuttie i think have done ok i think in previous years.... but format has changed with these two windows

i still think i'm going ok this year - just big swings about dependent on cappo

[KingMonkey]

Have done ok over the last 3 years with 3 top 500 finishes. Was top 20 from November until last few weeks last year (no Kane). Think i finished 170th in the end.

As Yorkie said the 2 overhauls make the transfer situation different this year. Previously i would be happy with 20 left and 100 off the leader going into the new year but because of the new format 15 might be ok ?

Previously 3-4-3 or 3-5-2 would be the way to go with a cheap back 4 but this year more value in defenders (so far), walker, stones, otamendi etc and lots of talk about 4-5-1 or 5-4-1 (think they are valid formations) being the best way forward at the moment.

I'm still going with the 3 up front and hoping that the big hitters all start firing as it will take a fair few transfers to get them back in if you go one up top.

If you dont nail the captain all of the above is pretty irelevant to be fair.

Gary

[Henke7]

How we looking now folks?

1264 - 18t the best I can muster.

Big front 6, made a coont of it at the start and picked a balanced side. Gary was right, need big hitters up top for captains.

Next year will be a budget defence from the start.

[Yorkshire Exile]

1217/27
1195/28

My problem is when I use my transfers they are having little to no effect

[RINKY]

1291 20 trf

[KingMonkey]

1265 24 left. Just seem to be trading water at the moment. Sanchez doing my nut in.
Need to hit some different captains over christmas if i am to get back in the mix

[KingMonkey]

JJ Kenny looks great value at the moment

Trading water? Don't tell pottsy....fanfooty very own Warren buffett will be looking for dealer forecasts

[KingMonkey]

Haha, well spotted Yorkie. Buy low sell high, that's my advice

[RINKY]

Had my first decent week for weeks, see if we move..

[Yorkshire Exile]

me too... 124 in play

[RINKY]

me too... 124 in play

Mines good but not that good....

[Yorkshire Exile]

down to 23 and 24 transfers now-- had some issues to resolve

[Yorkshire Exile]

making progress again.... but still 200 points off top

[KingMonkey]

Great score yorkie. Easy to mess this up in a v short time. My major mistakes probably not keeping kdb after the overhaul (now back), holding eriksen for too long and still not having otamendi.
Also probably the reluctance to move away from 3-4-3
