Your team looks in better shape there. I'd be nervous to be your opponent.
I think you’ll be okay. Only issue you have with bringing in Bamford is if Leeds have an off day, you’ve got 3 of their players and will probably struggle.
What £0.7m halved and rounded is £0.3m?I'd taken it almost as read that my rival would do Bruno to Mane for free. Now a couple of people have mentioned not being able to afford doing that move for free - I realised I'd been overlooking the whole buying/selling price thing, despite having lost about 0.4m on Bruno as recently as last week.
Looking at the stats, he's had Bruno since Week 9, when he was 10.7m. He's now 11.4m, down from 11.5m on 15th May before his week 37 game, when he benched him.
You get 50% of the gains, so he'd get a selling price of 11m? It'd only go to 11.1m if Bruno was 11.5m - which as above he hadn't been since before week 37.
Now looking at Mane, he's now 11.8m, but was 11.7m.
Cash in bank? 0.6m.
So even if he'd done the transfer a few days back, he couldn't afford it for free right?
I wondered if he'd left that exact money to do Bruno to Mane, but I think it's pure coincidence it's "close" as he did Soucek to Willock -simply based on Willock's form.
@Dirty Schwein @CassiusClaymore @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson , and other lads, does that maths check out?
Ta pal - your last 4 words gave me the key realisation above!
And all the other stuff
I've a similar situation - work league 21 point lead, different league (both cash leagues), hold a 3 point lead for 5th (£50), with only top 5 getting cash. £100 for 4th and works up to £500 for 1st).
Thanks, all! I appreciate your encouraging my gut feeling and going in for Bamford. A good point raised re: Leeds potentially misfiring, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that in front of a home crowd and a West Brom team with nowt to go for, the players will be up for it....
Sounds right to me. If he really wants Mane surely he'll take a hit though? I'd gamble in a tight run league if it meant the difference between 1st and 2nd.I'd taken it almost as read that my rival would do Bruno to Mane for free.

This is the problem with so many leagues.
Wait for leaks tomorrow. You should be fine with lead tbh. He's got Rashford and Greenwood to worry about.
Just realised Bruno went up 10.5m to 10.7m in between weeks 8 and 9 in the 2 week international break.
Our work league has been going 20+ years, even pre-dating me working at the co and hyping it up to ridiculous levels
The maths makes sense but he might have been taking a hit either way. Unless he done the transfer whilst Bruno was 11.5 and Mane 11.7?I'd taken it almost as read that my rival would do Bruno to Mane for free.

Nah Bruno was 11.4 when week 37 started, and must have been 10.6 when he bought him. In fact even if he had been 10.5, it's till be a selling price of 11
Is there a chance he goes for a YOLO move like Aubamayang in and captain him? I considered this move last year and was talked out of it. Had I stuck to my instincts, I would have won my ML. Instead I wasted my TC on Silva
Yes, the straight switch is a danger. A Pepe, Auba, Mount, City etc.
.That's brilliant. I'm just worried about my little team league with like 20 of us which I've won 3 years in a row. We've got one big league too with 265 people in, but it's all casuals with no money or trophies. Think I need to take charge of that like you did.Our work league has been going 20+ years, even pre-dating me working at the co and hyping it up to ridiculous levels
It used to be only current workers and pretty much only our head office, so 20-25 people max.
I took over and I've increased it to 80-90, with ex workers, a few suppliers and about 6-7 different sites involved
I've only won it once, but have lost it twice on the last day, and been top 5 numerous times. Just about stayed in the money (top 8) the last 2 years.
Desperate to see it out after leading since that 143 point bench boost double game week!
I've won all my other leagues comfortably, bar the one I'm 5th in, and this tight battle.
Think I beat my mate in our 1v1 league by 500 points! Ridiculous, but a good return after he won last year for the first time in 10 years
Oh bloody hell mate - trust me, nor do IThat's brilliant. I'm just worried about my little team league with like 20 of us which I've won 3 years in a row.

I don't wanna be in this thread if you throw it away and come second again
Decided this is exactly what I'm going to do, so definitely a chance someone is just as crazy!
If you're chasing more than 20 points, this is a great move, basically getting in differential player plus Captain.
30 pointer you mean! Or 32 points if they also keep a cleany!

I forgot the useless twat was a midfielder this year30 pointer you mean! Or 32 points if they also keep a cleany!
Scary thought, which is why I was pleased Mane can't be that man (pending the working out not being flawed or a -4!) , as he'd be the best chance of such a haul.
At least if he's gone the Bamford angle, that's a point less, no cleany. Plus it's still brave going against Salah, as he could easily be the hauler himself, and lose 15 points on a player he had himself.
Really hope my differentials bag some early points.
But until tomorrow my internet pals...off to sleep, with a 13mile run in the morning planned to forget about it until about 1.30pm and a mad last hour of checks and sniffing round the net for last knockings info
Not for me. Don't know if plays or plays 90 mins so HAS TO score to cover the -4?
Depends. If those two are differentials, then yes maybe.
1st has got Son, 2nd has got DCL. Neither has Mane or Antonio.
Both are good options and Son looked anonymous last game or two.
Evans is still out so Castagne will still be limited at centre back.
