Every time I've picked one of their strikers or midfielders for a favorable match-up, the goals have wound up coming from last-minute substitutes or bouncing in off defenders. Good for real world fans, but very bad for fantasy managers. I'm also considering RvP, who's making me less queasy than Fabregas or Arshavin.Bradleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-60375154879287976662009-10-01T00:31:45.873+01:002009-10-01T00:31:45.873+01:00@ Bradley thanks for commiserating. I want to bel...@ Bradley thanks for commiserating. I want to believe in the Tuncay theory because I truly think it is a solid foundation, but it is difficult to watch others climb ahead who don't have the discount. <br /><br />I understand the quandry but luckily I haven't been suffering quite as much as you have. The last two weeks I have been hovering at just under 100 points a week and I know I can do better (although I feel if I just had selected Torres over Gerrard than I would have topped the 100 point plateau easily.) <br /><br />My problem is my main competitors have Torres and I feel like I have to make hay while the sun shines in these next four weeks while Liverpool faces their tougher schedule stretch since I don't have Torres at a discount. <br /><br />I truthfully don't trust Arsenal all that much but they seem to being playing well again. I could definitely go for a cheaper striker than Van Persie and not have but that front line looks pretty imposing. The nice thing about RVP is that he has been scoring a lot of phantom points this season and he truly hasn't blown up in a game yet. If I go with line up two that is what I would be banking on.<br /><br />I know people must be sick of the whole Tuncay debate but do others have any insight regarding this situation. At this point I would be happier with Moks than Tuncs...Douchebag Unitednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-72311148381440182452009-10-01T00:15:12.510+01:002009-10-01T00:15:12.510+01:00@Douchebag United: Coincidentally, I'm trying ...@Douchebag United: Coincidentally, I'm trying to decide between two line-ups remarkably similar to yours. I'm leaning toward the second one right now. Yep, I just might be leaping off the Tuncay train. Holding Tuncay was based on two premises:<br /><br />1) He would pay off big once he started. Hasn't happened yet. He got a little desperation time<br />action at the end of the ManUtd match but that's it. I'm getting sick of trying to read Pulis' mind.<br /><br />2) The money freed up would help fund higher-priced midfielders. Sadly, for whatever reasons, the premium midfielders aren't returning their value right now.<br /><br />Last week was my worst one so far this season ("beating" Week 3 by 0.5 points). Although Tuncay's 0 points was less of an issue for me than Rooney, Skrtel, and Rodwell all doing likewise, I'm ready to try mixing things up a bit by going for a premium front line. My one concern is that although midfielders can pick up phantom points, strikers tend to be all-or-nothing. Pick the wrong one and you're screwed.<br /><br />Given my current standing (just dropped from 5680 to 12008), take my opinion with a grain of salt.Bradleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-32954607303191368182009-09-30T23:05:17.476+01:002009-09-30T23:05:17.476+01:00@ Bojan - I have 708pts (1182 overall).

Even though he has been "under performing" he is still ranked 3rd overall in points (albeit only 4 ahead of Rooney) but still says something. If I drop Gerrard, I'd also drop my striker I have at the moment who is cheap but a hunch this week and pick up Rooney and some midfielder around 10. I just really don't like the middie choices at the price level. I also feel like my team is not balanced at all. I'll be agonizing over this decision, or lack of, for the rest of the week.<br /><br />Thanks AM for the great posts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-7344208542295006332009-09-30T22:38:47.201+01:002009-09-30T22:38:47.201+01:00Stearman also in line for a spot again for Wolves....Stearman also in line for a spot again for Wolves.mudwalkerznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-31342728990768387922009-09-30T22:35:54.453+01:002009-09-30T22:35:54.453+01:00So Neil playing 90 for reserves at right back for ...So Neil playing 90 for reserves at right back for Everton..could mean.. less certainty for Heiti?<br />And Caldwell back for Burnley means the same for either Carlisle or Bikey?<br />Other thoughts.. when I saw Portsmouth play last weekend I think they are due to win very soon now sometime.
