Fantasy Football 09/10

Looking at next weeks fixtures I think this may be the first time in a while that I won't need to make a single transfer!

85 this week, thank god for Tevez as captain and taking Dunne out :p.
 
Without Fab and Rooney the team seriously free up some cash for a much more balanced team in a 3-4-3 formation.

I could get this with cash in the bank. (or use it to get Valencia)

 
Fab is confirmed out for the season, there is NO reason to keep him

Rooney we will know more after tomorrow's update, so personally i have decided to wait until then, but i probably will swap it if he is out more than 3 weeks. There are not that many games left, Torres will get more points even if he only get a goal every other game.
 
I dropped Rooney for Berb. Just not sure on my Captain for this week, might keep Tevez, or change to Lamps or Drogba :confused:

I am not going to keep Fab just wondered will I get hit if I make my changes on Saturday morning instead of now.

Yes you will, the thing about FF transfers is that you have to balance up the merits of delaying your transfers (to get latest fitness/team news etc) with a prediction about what transfers other people will be doing.

Generally my view is that if you have an expensive, popular player who is likely to be out for a long time the best thing to do is transfer them out sooner rather than later. You know a lot of other people will be offloading this week so you want to avoid losing out on the cash. That said if it's a player worth a lot more than you paid originally you don't lose out as much as you might expect since the taxman takes at least 50% of your profit (e.g. say you bought Rooney for £11m and he was worth £12.1m, a drop to £12m wouldn't actually hurt you because you would still get £11.5m for him).

Same goes for any players you think others will be flocking to, such as star players for a team that is playing twice in the next game week. If you delay too long they end up costing more money. In fact this kinda ties in with the above point too - it's likely that if people are selling Rooney and Fabregas, that they will be replacing them with players of a similar value/calibre, such as Torres/Drogba or Lampard/Gerrard (obviously depending on fixtures etc). So chances are those players will go up a bit this week too.


edit: Speaking of the taxman, I'm sure there's a bug in the transfer system whereby if you buy a player, sell him, buy him back, and then sell him again, it is using your original purchase price rather than the second purchase price to work it out. So for example:

Buy player for £10m
Value rises to £10.5m, sell for £10.2m
Buy back for £10.2m
Value rises to £10.6m, sell for £10.3m (should be £10.4m).

Fabregas, Rooney OUT
Torres, Lampard IN

Which is a move most people will be making I think...they better do good!
 
rooney went from 12.0 to 11.9 this morning....I should've got rid of him last night.

Personally i got Arteta in, look at the form he's in since he came back from injury and you'll see why.
 
Maybe not a bad shout when you look at Everton's run in, sort of player I'd like to bring in but simply can't because my transfers are constantly in use for fire-fighting rather than looking to improve my squad (Rooney this week, Ivanovic last week etc).
