Mito’s Rant :rant:
I hate this season and most of all I hate you mangers who benefit from bad decisions. :finger:
You all sit there waving your hands :red-flag: in happiness about Rooney getting 11 points and in some cases pretending you knew he start all along. If this game made any sense it would punish all those who brought in Rooney early in this GW by having him come in for a 1 pointer yesterday, not 11. If there is any justice in this game, it should at the very least punish those owners with a Red Card next game. Sorry to all those who already had him before this GW or who will buy him before GW 18 starts as that ill wish is not really for you, but you should be punished by association. 😉
Special mention to any person who has brought in a player for a hit this season and sat him on the bench that same GW. Not for fund raising purposes, but as a player they plan to use at some point and could have waited a week to make the transfer for free. You’re an idiot. :shake:
If you have brought in these players at some point this season take a bow, you make me sick! :sick:
Campbell ( Cardiff ) > went up 4 times from GW3-6
Navas > Was bought by 30000 mangers after the Spurs game
Henderson > 70000 managers benefitted by this knee jerk ( plays City & Chelsea next )
But those are somewhat acceptable because of price in Campbell’s case, Navas is a good player but not a good fpl player so he might confuse some and Henderson is cheap and plays on a prolific goal scoring team. Those while still bad moves are nothing compared to these.
Moses > If you ever bought him, you should feel ashamed. 80000 managers did after his goal ( his one and only goal this season )
Fernandinho > Was brought in by 20000 managers for 7.3 he has scored 3 points or less in 12 of 15 games. If he scores another goal this season and you still have him, I hope you choke on it. :stupid:
Toesend > yeah, I meant to spell it that way! Because that must be what uses to kick a ball most times. Completely wasteful EPL player and a complete waste of space FPL wise. 138000 managers brought him in after his goal. Only reason he scored was because he was centering the ball and it went in by mistake. Based on that, over 100k managers felt he was a must. :whacky:
Moses > Yeah, I know he was already mentioned but I feel he needs a second mention as he really is absolute shite.
If you have taken a hit for defender and had enough playing defenders already, I hope he got you negative points because that is what you deserve. Only hit for a defender/Keeper that could be made a case for, is if you will not have enough players to field 11 or said defender/Keeper faces City at the Ethiad.
On a last note if you captained Benteke 3 out of 4 weeks or refused to buy Suarez for a while than you are also in the category of unfit to run an FPL team.
Have a good day!!
Please feel free to comment, in particular if you made one of these cardinal sins. Love you all xxxx
Moto…
I have not made one of them buys you mention
Never bought a player then benched him.
Don’t jump on bandwagons.
But most importantly…
When I take a hit (only 3 this season which Pottys proud of) I make him my Captain whoever he is.
So in Pottys World I make that….
No1 on your Xmas card list.
Potty
Pooty you deserve a special mention as you have been reluctant with Suarez in buying him and making him captain. He is not just the best EPL player, he is simply the best FPL player. When people made a case for RVP last season about being an absolute must ( he wasn’t ) that was nothing compared to not owning Suarez.
Personally, I think those shipping out Rooney prematurely are worse than those picking him earlier this week. Also, could’ve been much worse. Some people actually took a punt Negredo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Negredo I tell you. How silly are those people? :cuckoo:
4 goals and 2 assists in his last 7 games. A striker on the most prolific team for that price is not a bad investment and after Dzeko’s performance yesterday I would hope Negredo becomes the only striker on the pitch for them. But if the price were equal I rather have Rooney! Anyways my rant is not vs owning Rooney is the the timeframe he was bought in by owners this week.
TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like the kid however don’t think he’s a poacher like Dzeko is. More a team player, Rooney is a team player but he tends to get more assists/goals. Getting 4 goals and 2 assists in 7 games.
Anyway, City scored 23 goals in the last 6 games. So him getting 4… that’s more of a must for a central striker. Shite, I would’ve bagged 2. 😉
I think Negredo is more of a team player. However, I do actually think they need Dzeko sooner or later. Dzeko’s faith is gone since Pellegrini obviously favored Negredo and Kun over him and Jovetic.
I bought Moses :cuckoo:
I shall delete my FPL account now :p
Could be worse, you could’ve been a victim of the Townsend/Eriksen hypetrain.
I replaced Moses with Townsend!
Hear hear Mito! I also have avoided your list of season stupidity. Doesn’t mean my team is any better! But a great read nonetheless and it takes the sting out of Turner coming in for Shaw…just a bit.
@Colriles not so fast my friend. I have done some quick research on your team!! You were amzingly patient with Soldado and displayed some SLOW type qualities in ridding him from your squad and you have an infactuation with Mark Noble as you love his 2 pointers ( Week after Week )
I think you love his comb over. 😉 hard to get rid of him once he is on the squad, I guess.
Not guilty of any of the above but with a transfer figure of 31 and counting I am no example to follow!
Drexl/Blanche/Pirate I have looked over your squad and you are correct I do not see any of these so called mistakes, I do however see that you thought you were still running your team from last season!! Because Michu and RVP seem to stick around your squad for way too long! 😉
My only Mito sin was Moses lol. Brought him in after Coutinho got hurt, seemed logical at the time, but he only lasted 2 GW, could see he was a donkey right off the bat
Ripsaw you are not fooling anyone!! :cuss: I know you brought in Rooney ahead of time also!! :p
Haha Mito, the funny thing is most of us Rooney owners wouldn’t have put him in if we had waited for Friday 😉 Finally, some luck for me 😛
Let’s add some more sins to the list.. Who the hell would captain Benteke 3 times when he keeps failing ? :cuckoo: :p
And who would transfer in Darren Bent ??!!! Loool :hippo: :big-lol:
LS, I did not exclude myself from this list, you lucky swine.
Lol, I just noticed you did mention the Benteke part, fair enough.
I just remembered … is there anything you want to mention about Ramsey and Yaya? 😉
Ramsey, feck him And Yaya is great EPL wise, I have never denied that, but seriously who could have seen this many goals from dead ball play. What is that like 5 free kicks and 2 pens? I don’t really remember him being a specialist at either before this season.
Definitely not you 😉
Haha, his freekicks have been amazing – surely he can’t continue this throughout the season?!
i am not guilty…
except for navas!
but i think he’s a great player and followed him quite a bit before his 14 pointer.
i needed city coberage and couln’t afford toure or aguero and silva was injured. I like navas more than nasri and he’s got me an assist and a goal since.
i also have silva now.
so yeah
Nice rant Mito !! Slightly cheered me up a bit but you missed out people who bring Rooney in at the beginning of a week with one free transfer then use their other free transfer to take him back out again on the friday night when he drops to 50%.I actualy felt phsically sick when i saw his name on the teamsheet saturday.Still fuming with myself !! :cuss:
@Brooky well Raz covered that. I am not sure what I told you on that matter, but I am thinking I said I could understand you doing it, considering it was free. But most people who asked me about taking a hit and getting him out, I said I just sit him on the bench. In hindsight it was a mistake, but if Rooney doesn’t play like many expected then the double transfer, while still not the most inspired use of two free transfers ever, could have been justified.
If i hadn’t had a free transfer left i would have just left him in.If he hadn’t dropped to 50% on Fpl i would have left him in also and its ballsed up my plans to bring walcott in this week just to rub salt in.Just have to put it down to experience and move on
No Campbell, Navas, Henderson or Fernandinho but I’m guilty as charged over everything else. I even bought Moses and Townsend over Ramsey at the start of the season as clearly Ramsey’s the luckiest player in the whole of the EPL.
Looking over my transfers I took a four point hit on bringing in a keeper and a defender whilst benching the keeper (GW9) but that monstrosity paid off somehow.
Never mind chin up, I’ve brought in both Adebayor and O’shea this gameweek, I can’t imagine anyone else having my powers of foresight for this GW. Swings in roundabouts.
Andy by bringing in Adebayor this week you deserve to be simultaneously congratulated and slapped.
O’shea’s a Sunderland defender as well so you could add a kick in their somewhere Mito.
@Andy no problem, but keep your O’Shea kick for later as the adding of Adebayor alone merits a kick in the Potty ( nuts )
i got in townsend. but at that time he was pretty cheap, has also scored a goal for england and i didn’t have any tottenham coverage during their ‘in form’ phase.
so i feel that was partially justifiable.
what is not is my irresistible urge to take hits over and over again.
it’s like i don’t want to but i can’t stop my hands, and the very next second after clicking ‘confirm changes’ i provide myself with heavy slaps.
Ripsaw…
Simply answer pal..
The Saints Boss prefers…
Hooiveld,him and Lovren at the back offer strong cover and also in height, plus the Dutchman can play football too.
Today’s team selection was made late.
As once Adey and Solds was on the Spurs team sheet Hooiveld was a starter.
Potty
Cheers Potty. May take a punt on Kolarov
Let’s make a punt on Kolarov being destroyed by Wally next week.
Pottys says…
Walcott is the future….
Of Powerful Potty Fc.
Potty
Raziel – That will take some doing since Wally plays for Arsenal and Kolvarov face Liverpool :whatever:
Wally is just that good
Loving this game already. Clyne still out so 6 pts off my bench before I’ve started. Liking it…
I think he’s on the bench mate, he’ll get 10 minutes. 😉
lol…thanks for that Raz…and after i supported your sterling move!!
Mwahaha. I have Clyne and as you get 6 points from the bench this is my second defender not playing. My two subs will give me 2 points. FFS. So a bit annoyed and was hoping Clyne would make a late appaerance. Sort of check it all out for you and he’s not even on the teamsheet (bench). So you’ll be getting those 6 points, mate. 😉
We good now? 😛
Always good Raz. Always good…..
Lallana !
Ade 1-1…
No clean sheets today…
sweet… :/
Ade again ! 2-3 now…
My defense is a shipwreck !!!
:/
Adebayor is looking a new man when he starts.
I see Adebayor is playining.. Hows he looking?
Seriously? Did you not read the two comments above this post? lol
I can see that he scored but hows his overall play? Does he look like he can improve Spurs’ goal tally?
Not great slow poison, not great. For instance, he definitely hasn’t scored or anything.
