Welcome! I'm Nik Argiropoulos, a 28 year old Tottenham fan from Woking, Surrey, UK. I've finished in Yahoo Fantasy Football's Top 500 every season since I started playing the game 7 years ago, with a highest finish of 60th, so I'm hoping this blog will offer some useful advice to my fellow managers. **AM CHAT ROOM**
I knew there was a possibility of him not starting but having a player out at this price is not that harmful to my team. Better then someone in the 8-12 range. Would rather have someone in that spot of course..oh well. Still have a nice option at 3.12 on defense and Arsenal have some nice fixtures over the next few weeks.
Good luck..
OH..Also I see that 10/10 of the top teams have Rooney. I am sure that is because of his discount. So......go RVP & Hernandez!
Ken, as with previous seasons, the top 10 at this stage is not made up of the top 10 managers - does that make sense? I imagine they've all held the top scorers so far, more luck than good management at this stage. Once injuries, suspensions, double-gamers, dip in form, African nations kick in the men are sorted from the boys.
Also if Santos takes over permanently from Gibbs I'd re-evaluate your assessment of holding 3.12 Gibbs.
After today I most likely would NOT be looking at Arsenal defenders anyway.
Hopefully, some day my post may help others the way you guys always help me. Until then..that will be me, stumbling over there with my football homework in tow.
Totally screwed. Tried to take a few risks to jump ahead in my league - yeah, that won't be happening. Had Szcezzny and Gibbs - the Ars defense is dead to me. Also decided to risk Klasnic at home against weak opposition - worked out just gorgeous for me.
Most of the rest of my team still to play is shared by my league - just a bad week overall.
Seems like SWP is starting to out-shine Taraabt in YFF value. SWP scored a nice 14.5 through an assortment of SCs, SOTs, SCs, etc, while Taraabt did OK, but taken off after 70 mins.
only regret is keeping Merts.. instead of SANTOS.. But why did santos price jump so high after only 1 game?! in past.. new players prices don't jump till after like 5-6 games or so.. he is still priced ok..
do ya'll think switch merts *@6.21* or swtich to santos..
ps.. i really hope all the people that 4 or 5 MAN City players go down tomorrow!! mostly cuz i i don't have dzeko.. lol

Gibbs @ 3.12

power back on at Wolves
Dropped Gervinho last minute because someone said he wasn't starting and he's scored already. omeone said he wasn't starting and he's scored already.
@HarUtd
Bet you don't hate it any more! :D

Just did what i should have done a long time ago, bring in De Gea at 10+me ago, bring in De Gea at 10+
Gibbs could come in next week if that is all Santos is offeringng
@Ian
Thanks..

Take care & good luck

14 points for Santos - that was a bit unexpected.
