Yeah, the problem is I've had to use my cheap third striker as the 2nd striker so far instead of putting him on the bench. Hopefully, Odemwingie will be back full-time now and I can put Graham on the bench (look for a breakout week from Graham soon ).

When Ashley Young, as a midfielder, goes nuts, it's really nice for me b/c, like you said, strong midfielders can get you more points.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea.

That was a major problem for me last season. I decided to try to avoid players from the big clubs because the big clubs seem to interchange starters more often. It seems to have helped thus far.

I don't bench my strikers. I like to play a 3-4-3 formation. That's worked best for me over the years.

Maybe I just need another cheap striker. Graham has been without a goal thus far.

I try to be patient, though. I thought Swansea would put up a little more goals early on.

I like Odemwingie and I just picked up Aguero myself.

I dropped Nani for Ashley Young and what do you know Nani finally has a decent game. fml.

Kevin Davies is my cheap striker. He always plays and and I don't think Bolton will be this bad the whole season.

ditto. Although I worry about Klasnic stealing his thunder.

Agreed. I realized this in week 2.

I also realized that I want to make a ton of changes to my squad, so I am using my wildcard next week. Unfortunately, I already used my free transfer, and I do not see the option to use it.

If anyone needs to make serious changes to their roster (I am making at least five), then I would recommend using your wild card soon. It may be early on, but now is the time to acquire the studs before their prices rise even more. Prepare to get fricked by Rooney, Aguero, and Silva (who I already own).

You own players who decreased in value. Happened to me. My team is only worth like 99.4 or 99.6 including by 2.8 in the bank.

I can't really understand some of how the value works.

I'm damn near in last place, but I made a ton of transfers after the deadline. Bale, RvP wasn't delivering so I had to get rid of them, along with a couple other people.

Didn't turn out too bad, I hope, I have Rooney, Dzeko, and Suarez up front.

Somehow, my team value went back up.

I'm hoping Wilshere coming back possibly, next month, pays off for having him ride the pine right now.

The more a player is bought...the more his value goes up. So if you have a player on your team and his value goes up...your team value goes up.

Player gets sold enough...vice versa. Value goes down. You own him...team value goes down.

It's still funny to me that Torres is at 10.6. There can't be more than a handful of people who own him at that price, so why hasn't he dropped down to 8 or 7?

that makes no sense

you should realize that loss only when you sell the player

and my team, as best i can tell, has only gone up. i don't see a net negative of 0.5
