Hey guys. Been pretty absent for about a month. Again. I'm doing pretty shit in fantasy. But yeah, first time, so I didn't really expect much. Somebody, maybe Gelgarin I think, told me to pick a few key people and round out the team with folks that will consistently play 90 minutes every game. Which I did, I thought, but people I thought were gonna pan out - like Snograss - didn't. And RVP was great for like...2 weeks. So I finally decided his 14M was too damn expensive, and swapped him out for Giroud and Ramsey instead.
I decided to use my wildcard this week. Too early, do you think? I have a really good team now, in theory. 7 or 8 people on the overall dream team. I didn't plan it that way, but that's how it ended up. I don't know why, but I really like tracking defenses. It makes the games more exciting when you need your teams to keep up clean sheets. I now have Jose Enrique, Fonte, Lovren and Baines. Pretty solid I think. Ramsey and Yaya to lead the midfield, plus Barkley from Everton for some consistent, cheap points. And I decided to switch to 4-3-3 so now I've got Sturridge, Giroud and Remy from Newcastle.
Any feedback would be great.
Also, because I don't live in the UK, I decided this was going to be my year to actually decide on one or two alliances. I really have no strong feelings towards any particularly parts of England. Sorry. I've never been there. I've just supported good teams as a fair weather fan, because I like good soccer. My friend is a Chelsea fan, so I thought about them. I really like Arsenal. Not just because they're #1 right now, but because they have a great team and I was hoping they'd do really well this season. Tottenham has been fun to watch recently. Any ideas?
