Thanks. I wasn't sure if there was a way to do it other than individually click "next" from the page that shows the 1-50 ranked teams through to the ones 8 million entrants later. Thanks for doing that for me, that must have taken ages.
The trick is to write the page name, instead of clicking. So I just found the closest 1k and took it from there :lol:

Just about clinging onto the bottom money position in my league, albeit joint position

But about 5 points go down another 4 places so very nip and tuck and just hope no-one has any last day chips!

138 but I'm having such a bad year it's not enough to put a dent in my work league position. Last minute transfer of Onana to Petrovic for a -4 was a horrible decision in the end. I lost 6 pts with that.
I'll see your Onana to Petrovic for a -4 and raise you Hojlund to Wilson for a -4!

151 all out. I'm currently leading my mini league by 10 points and I'm stumped on what to do. I want to go differential as I'm also chasing the global rankings. Thinking of going Olise and Havertz in for Gordon and Bruno (-4). They're not massive differentials but anything else seems to risky. Maybe Mateta for Isak but I prefer to invest in midfielders. Any thoughts?

Am joint 10th in my league, clinging onto the bottom end prizes.
There's at least one douche below me who still has a triple captain to play.

With 3 Chelsea, 3 City and 3 Arsenal, without any doubt I have to play the below 9.
Then Son has to play v woeful Sheff Utd


PETROVIC
WHITE GABRIEL GVARIDOL
SAKA FODEN PALMER SON
HAALAND (C) JACKSON

That leaves 1 space. Either from these 4 boys, or using 0.6m to transfer someone in?

Garnacho
Isak
Branthwaite
Munoz

Any tips?
Saka to Haaland
Isak to someone?
Or just play Isak/Garnacho?

1 FT and 5 mill itb.
This is my team now :
Neto
Gabriel-Regu-Saliba
Olise-Gordon-Palmer-Saka-Foden
Isak-Haaland(c)

Areola-Solanke-Burn-Doughty

Any tips? Thinking about doing Gordon to Son and maybe take a -4 for Regu to Porro.
4 points behind my rival in the minileague, squeaky bum time.

I'm in the same boat tbh and haven't decided. I don't think there's any decision to be made either until we find out if anyone is injured and then we get early team leaks.

Oh right yeah. Bit sideways that for me and Saka has pens don't forget.
Yeah I am thinking of getting Havertz in (my teams almost the same as the guy leading me in 1st spot) but with a midfield of Foden, Palmer, Son, Saka, Gordon (might be the one i can push out) and a front line of Haaland, Jackson, Isak....I'm not sure how i can squeeze him in.

Alternatively I can bring White in as another Arsenal defender next to Gabriel. Would love Gvardiol but i would need to take a hit.

30 points behind the guy in first and I have my TC chip to play. He has no chips and will most likely captain Haaland. Guy in 3rd is tracking me by 56 points, so there's enough room for me to try and be adventurous with the TC chip, I guess. Thoughts?

I'm looking at Havertz but keep the transfer for leaks and news.

First question, which will determine if I ask the second question.

I'm 24 points behind my rival and the guy below me is 21 points behind me.

Do I show the size of my balls and go super differential and try catch the guy above or do I play it safe and block the guy behind me?

The 3 of us are very competitive. Usually I finish above the guy ahead of me but the guy below me usually beats us both and always ranks in the top 10k...

So I think I'm gonna go for broke... feck it! Need to catch 24 points:

Here is my team currently (£1.2 in the bank):

Onana
Gvardiol, Gabriel, VDV
Saka, Foden, Palmer, Son, Maddison
Jackson, Haaland

Subs: Areola, Isak, Gusto, Reguilon

My rival's team (£1.5 in the bank and 2 transfers):

Ederson
Burn, Gabriel, Porro
Johnson, Foden, Palmer, Son
Jackson, Haaland, Isak

Subs: Onana, Gordon, Disasi, Reguilon

I reckon he will play it safe and do: Ederson and Burn to GK and Gvardiol, then start Onana in goal.

My big hitting differentials versus him are currently:

Saka & Maddison versus his Johnson & Isak.

Who can I bring in and captain to claw back the points and who do I lose?

Option 1:
Foden to Havertz

Option 2:
Foden to Luiz

Option 3:
Jackson to Mateta

Option 4:
Onana to Raya and then captain Saka as my differential

Please help @CassiusClaymore @Sandikan @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson @Rightnr @anyone

I'd want that bum Maddison out tbh. I might do something like Isak to Gakpo depending on injury news and leaks.

Havertz or cap Saka?

Basically the opposite of what I say is a good idea

Those are the two most tempting options.

I would get Havertz in a heartbeat but the only way is to lose Foden, which will backfire as City should smash West Ham.

Can't get rid of Son or more begrudgingly, Maddison as they're playing the whipping boys. Can't get rid of Palmer as I won't have enough funds to get Havertz. Saka needs to stay. That leaves Foden but removing him feels like a big mistake.

The more I think about it the more I'm leaning to captain Saka and bringing in Raya for Onana as I feel the rival will play Onana.

How about going full ballsy and transferring Maddison out for Gross (yes he has been out of form but playing against a leaky us) or Luis Diaz vs Wolves. No one will expect you to go for a pool player

It'd a difficult position as your 11 Is strong.
United aren't good at keeping cleanies so maybe that simple keeper switch is the play.

Maddo doesn't seem to have done much for a while so maybe he could still go.
Are Kulu and Johnson down as mids or attackers? One of those could haul as a one off.
