VanillaDuo Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Boro are poor... and wasting 10 million pounds on a striker who could not score often, leading to their relegation is sad As for valencia, finishing 6th out of twenty teams is not bad at all. Even Newcastle had a few world class players... they dint do well See first of all you have mentioned the name of Boro on the same bracket as City Teams like sunderland, mancity, newcastle, boro spent milliopns and still finished in the bottom half of the table ! And you are pointing on a single player again as you have earlier pointed single team Barca. If i want to single outt I can also say City did not finish on the bottom half of the table, but I will not. And as for Valencia finishing 6th with the team they had (Villa, Silva, Jauquin, Vicente, Albelda, Albiol, Morientes (though he has past his prime), Baraja), is not good enough. They should atleast go to UCL with the team they had, how many more world class players do you need to succeed!!! And seriously do you think Newcastle were of same class as Valencia last season? you must be joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemo Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 ^^ neville ?? i gather its the everton captain right ? A word of advice, DONT PICK HIM. I am sure u saw his uber cheap price of 5 and 105 points he made last time around. I too had him for a good part last season, the thing was he nowdays plays in midfield, last season he was classiefied as a defender so got all points for clean sheets, etc due to hardwork of his back 5 but this time he is listed (righfully) as a midfielder and as he plays a DM, he wont get much points, no matter how good he plays on the pitch.. that is the sad part of a DM in FPL The moment i saw him in midfielders list i knew many new comers wud make the mistake of picking him because of past score and chepa price and i was happy at that.. but to a fellow GI member, i think i shud caution.

Thanks for the advice mate It was the Everton captain... Hmm so DMs are a no no then... Guess Cattermole will also not do Will have to get some cheap wingers then... Will atleast score some points out of the assists... EDIT - Subbed him for Gardner... Hopefully he isn't equally bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Picked Zhirkov for the same reason. He's going to score a shitload of points just because he's classified as a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimshady23x7 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Joined the league. Team name is Andrian Michaels FC. Please also create a head to head league. I was the 20th member to join so there's no reason to wait now. @Nemo - we think alike but I have picked Neville because he is a utility man. He will start, can earn points through assists & Everton can keep clean sheets. So he can be useful. It's better than picking Mikel or Masche cause they just assist defenders mostly Here's my team Still might make changes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
