To ...@Joshtottenham - I'm with you on strategy. To be fair, much of my success this year is due to some lucky multi-game runs with Salgado and Nelsen, getting in on the ground floor with AJo and Bale (thanks AM, Neal and Jeremy), and sticking with guys like Arteta and Drogba who are always capable of a huge game. Typical week? Probably 6 trades. 40 points out of the top 50 right now.Yankeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-60706110333834809842010-05-08T22:29:57.496+01:002010-05-08T22:29:57.496+01:00HC ...you're spot on in that assessment.HC ...you're spot on in that assessment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-7275322119005406722010-05-08T20:17:57.518+01:002010-05-08T20:17:57.518+01:00PPS

Here's ...Pauly's Filler Update - Final day<br /><br />Here's the latest filler info:<br /><br />Neville - Everton MF (4.73) - out<br /><br />Yobo - Everton DF (6.65)**? - still unsure if he will play because there is no surefire report on Heitinga's injury status<br /><br />Babel - Pool MF (5.75)** A likely starter as Maxi R. seems to be out - could have an attacking role, but the fat spanish waiter is always difficult to double-guess on his strategy - he probably draws his team out of a black waistcoat pocket :-)<br /><br />Mancienne - Wolves (3.79)**? I prefer to leave the ? about his starting/full match status, as it's the last game for us, if he's not 100% sure to play 90 mins, then, IMO, he's droppable - but I'm no leading expert on Wolves MF strategy this week - but if D Jones plays, will Mancienne start as Jarvis is back? <br /><br />Bassong - Tott DF (6.71)** Will almost certainly start as King is unlikely to.<br /><br />So top filla** team for the final day:<br /><br />GK: FULOP 3.03<br />DF: HUTTON 5.78; ELOKOBI 5.14; BASSONG 6.71; CAMPBELL 7.14<br />MF: RODWELL 5.36; BABEL 5.75; WEISS 6.08; DE JONG 5.70; <br />FW: ANICHEBE 6.74; ILAN 7.23<br /><br />Hope that helps with any last minute changes or cheap fillers to place in your team<br /><br />Good luck<br />PaulyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-66446131557385757482010-05-08T18:43:39.611+01:002010-05-08T18:43:39.611+01:00For ppl who are talkign about the best strategies:...For ppl who are talkign about the best strategies:<br /><br />Move all 11 guys around unless you have a consistent points getter at VERY CHEAP.<br /><br />If you look at the top 10 teams and see their moves from week-to-week you will see that most of the time they changed 11 players depending on match-ups. <br /><br />What's astonishing is the number of times some of them had 4 DF. They must really know about individual players, team tactics, and managers' tendencies to get good results on defense. Also, a team's FW won't benefit if they win 4-0 unless they score/assist; however, DF will benefit in the 4-0 win even if they didn't do anything individually.<br /><br />By the end though, they were moving 10 players around, with Bale as a constant.<br /><br />Remember that guy Glory Zizo Kuwait or whatever who was number #1 for the longest time? Bale was his downfall. He used Bale once for a good match-up and once again for this double week. He should've had him in constantly no matter what.<br /><br />Bale at 2.5/5/or even 10 is the reason a whole slew of guys broke the top 10 and/or stayed in it.<br /><br />-HCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-44063311143943147142010-05-08T18:19:40.951+01:002010-05-08T18:19:40.951+01:00@ please - 1st one, easily, imo...!!!@ please - 1st one, easily, imo...!!!Fidannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-24079370756147445512010-05-08T18:18:53.424+01:002010-05-08T18:18:53.424+01:00A BIG *Congratulations!* to you, AM !

Means that instead of fillers you have productive players. Obviously there is a time to sell every player, if they are out for a few games/there is a double week and you need the space (I sold drogba). To me most of the trick to this game is picking the consistent players when they are cheap and holding them through a good run of games. Picking the exact best players each week is always going to be better, but its too easy to have terrible weeks IMO. I usually finish in the 900-1500, and around the top 40-75 in the spurs section so I'd like to think its not a terrible strategy!Joshttenhamhttp://yahoofantasyfootballuk.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-88062358731424203952010-05-08T14:50:00.940+01:002010-05-08T14:50:00.940+01:00Some late news for those who are still reading thi...Some late news for those who are still reading this far down;<br />Valencia has been confirmed injured<br />Jarvis is set to return for Wolves and likely take away set pieces from Jones.<br /><br />Thanks for everything AM!L'Orange Noirnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-35372144814891892202010-05-08T13:43:34.648+01:002010-05-08T13:43:34.648+01:00AM, thanks for the advice this season, contributin...AM, thanks for the advice this season, contributing to my being 800+ points ahead in my private league, see you next year!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-3253800039819255962010-05-08T13:14:07.499+01:002010-05-08T13:14:07.499+01:00cheers for all the hard work AM,best yff blog on t...cheers for all the hard work AM,best yff blog on the net now due to the quality of the posts and quality of replies,good luck tomorrowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-91314913508056536782010-05-08T13:10:04.173+01:002010-05-08T13:10:04.173+01:00Just want to add my voice to the choir in saying c...Just want to add my voice to the choir in saying cheers for all the hard work this season AM. yff takes up so much of my time, so i can only imagine how much effort it takes on your part to keep this blog going as well.<br /><br />Kendo.. obviously,keeping players like drogba @10.66 and bale @2.65 makes sense,but the right play is to change the majority of your team based on the weeks matchups and to sell players if they're going to get you zero for the week through injury or suspension. those who kept drogba through the african nations were wrong to do so in my opinion. <br /><br />Freddie M.....congrats on being 4th overall at this stage of the season,that's outragous.<br /><br />And cheers to everyone who posts on here,no disrespect to J&N,as they've been great over the years, but this is easily the best yff blog on the net now. good luck to you all tomorrow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-13942735846808658992010-05-08T12:03:49.960+01:002010-05-08T12:03:49.960+01:00Hi AM, First off ( and this is hard to say as a go...Hi AM, First off ( and this is hard to say as a gooner ) but well done to spurs ,3 london teams in Champ lge, balance of power swinging , anyway great job by harry and co .

It was complete coincidence I came across your blog, and from the moment of "meeting" you in one of your first posts in august of last year to the final day picks which are always a help when I feel undecided, it's been a pleasure bouncing my passionate yet sometimes irrelevant ideas off of you and getting those "oh toffeedave" chuckles back. I do hope you continue writing and posting on this blog over the summer simply to keep in touch. I will be discussing with some colleagues who live near me to join in and make a proper YFF podcast with multiple personalities instead of my failed attempt earlier this season which you could hopefully post on the blog for an even more objective look at picks. <br /><br />Cheers again AM and thanks for the time you spent on this project.<br /><br />Dave "ToffeeDave" KubackiToffeeDavenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-18070517204769716292010-05-08T05:26:59.161+01:002010-05-08T05:26:59.161+01:00Scholes??
