The p...I don't know if I would take risks Nik. The problem with this year is that the big points have all been from the obvious sources. It's the same players scoring again and again. If you don't know much about the fantasy game and just pick the "good" players you'll be winning. If you lay off of the players who might not start (i.e. Aguero on opening day or last week) you're out of the money. I wouldn't make changes right now that will set you out of contention for good. I'd bide my time until the double weeks start, which is where the cognoscenti stand to make up the most ground. By then hopefully it won't be "just pick the Manchesters" every week. For now I'd worry most about finding the efficient phantom point machines who will score enough to make up some ground on those who are also holding Rooney, Aguero, Dzeko, Silva, Young, Mertesacker, and DDG, just like everyone else. (seriously, look at the top 10 teams) But I wouldn't buck the train because, honestly, it looks like they have a good thing going. At least for the first few weeks of the season.DavidKBritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485847062129441590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-10080712526316743722011-09-15T05:16:28.303+01:002011-09-15T05:16:28.303+01:00Lol Nik I had the same thing on my mind.

I lost out big time on dropping him for the last week and also Dzeko did not play, so no points there either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04106948179223201469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-11306151788349710172011-09-14T03:17:40.902+01:002011-09-14T03:17:40.902+01:00DeGea

I kept DeGea but not Aguero (but did BD him immediately after). Hernandez saved my week as well but with 97.5 points I may not make the next round of the blog cup. I have 403.5 for the season. I do not blame anyone except myself for the decisions tha I made at the last minute. Had I stayed with what I had then I would have scored 156.5 points this week but "water under the bridge" and "hindsight is 20/20". <br /><br />My team will probably stay like this:<br /><br />DeGea<br />Gibbs,Mertesacker,Richards<br />Silva,Nasri,Benayoun,Osman<br />Dzeko,RVP,Aguero<br /><br />UNLESS there are injuries during the Champions League this week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-25941514954878019022011-09-13T21:34:32.436+01:002011-09-13T21:34:32.436+01:00129.5 despite taking a goose egg for Dzeko.

This blog is called "Your Assistant Manager." My understanding of team management is the team manager makes all the decisions and delegates certain tasks to the Assistant Manager. Feel free to fire your AM at any time you find his or her input unhelpful. But ultimately, there's no one to blame but ourselves.... <br /><br />By the way, I never understand when people are upset that the AM might be performing at the same level as the Manager. I mean...

I dropped Aguero thinking he would get rotated, and kept Dzeko. At least I had Hernandez, who saved my week. <br /><br />There is still hope, since 1200 are going through in this round, but I'll have to do much better if I get through to later rounds.<br /><br />My team currently looks like this:<br />DDG<br />Mertesacker-Riise-Gibbs<br />Silva-Nasri-Cabaye-SWP<br />Dzeko-Aguero-Rooney<br /><br />I BD'd Rooney since I'm not sure what's up with Welbeck and if Hernandez will keep his spot if he returns. Rooney is the sure starter. Not sure what other changes to make at the moment. SWP was a pleasant surprise, doubling his point value, so I'll probably stick with him for a while and see how it goes.kwyjibohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135780701963738055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-21558492586183072442011-09-13T13:06:22.212+01:002011-09-13T13:06:22.212+01:00Received what is hopefully my new average of 104.5...Received what is hopefully my new average of 104.50 for the week and 393.00 for the season. <br /><br />Finding it a little difficult bringing in new players.
