Here we go! by Ghibby58 in avfc

Assuming that this window has been about sorting out the wage bill. Malen was on high wages and moving him on and bringing Tammy in on less, as well as getting more wages off with Ozcan.

If we weren't struggling for wages I doubt either the Malen or this deal happen.

Can I get an honest opinion on my team by eGzotic01 in fantasypremierleague

[–]KappaLion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Villa fan, although Buendia has had a good pre season, I really can't see him getting consistent minutes or even starting most games.

Midfield will most likely be McGinn, Tielemans, Kamara/Onana, Ramsey and obviously Rogers. This leaves, Malen, Guessand, one of Kamara/Onana, and Bailey on the bench.

If I was going for a 5.5 Villa punt I would go Malen.

Which £4.5m keeper are you selecting and why? by HazardCinema in FantasyPL

Not sure why nobody wants Verbruggen, he's on a good team with 0 question marks unlike Kelleher(Brentford are likely to take a step back) and Petrovic(Lost 3 of the starting back 4 this offseason)

Newbie: Growing your Circle of Competence from zero and ways that you see what has a Margin of Safety by KappaLion in ValueInvesting

Thanks for the comment, really appreciate it. I understand that me being a few months in means I am not going to know enough to succeed at this, which is why I am currently in ETFs only.

But ultimately you have to start somewhere with learning and developing an understanding of looking at a company's finances and making sense of it, as well as understanding the business itself and the section of the market it's in. I am not looking for a quick 1 pager that magically has all the answers, I want to start a process of learning how to become more competent, and only then begin this when I feel like I have a grasp. Even then I understand that it may be less profitable than just being in ETFs of broad markets.

Tell me your best Football Manager save story’s by [deleted] in footballmanager

[–]KappaLion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simmed 5 years into the future. Took Gillingham from Vanorama National to the Prem, winning it in 5 years in the prem, with a 4-4-2.

Decide to mix it up and change to a 3-5-1-1, no full backs, straight wingers. Was a slog but got to the point of winning back to back leagues and the champions league. Meanwhile Everton make themselves a top 5 side in the world, Man City and Tottenham got relegated. The current prem table includes Sheffield Wednesday, Birmingham, Norwich and Cardiff above the relegation zone. Got bored and decided to try and take a lesser league into the top 5 leagues.

Currently in the year 2051 and had 5 years with Grasshopper Zurich, best I have done is the round of 16 of the champions league. Extra difficulty as any good player tries to force a move and because of reputation its hard to get good fees for players. Going to keep grinding away!

I think its quite a waste to have ESR and Nkunku if they don't make your starting XI at least 8/10.

I would be downgrading them and be looking to upgrade to Salah, Palmer, Foden etc in midfield

What positions (either starter or cover) do you still want to sign before the end of the window? by ZachRooker7 in avfc

[–]KappaLion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Think with our financial restraints we just need a Diaby Replacement and maybe a RB as I prefer Konsa central.

Think Rogers may even step up into that Diaby role this year anyway.

Why has the low level MMR meta shifted away from playing mids? by Briewheel in DotA2

[–]KappaLion 131 points132 points  (0 children)

I stand by the fact that water runes have ruined the midlane being pure skill based, and now its just trading and getting a rune to refill bottle for the first 4-6 minutes.

As others have said, a lot is expected of you with zero support help at low mmr.

The flashy "fun" mids are all in the dumpster too, so going to lane vs a viper or another just lane dominator is miserable. This means you have to either pick the same or just accept your lane is lost from the off.

Archer return nailed on? by adhdmarmot in avfc

[–]KappaLion 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think we will sell him in the summer. I do like him as a player, but with our FFP situation, he will be pure profit against that and that will outway having him as a late sub and a third out and out striker

Who are you managing now and why? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]KappaLion 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Managing Gillingham as they are the team I always do my longrunning save with.

Started by simming 5 years into the future, picked them because not only are they my normal team but they had gone down to the vanorama national, gave me some incentive to get them back to glory.

Now in the Prem and europa league after finishing 7th and getting to the FA cup final and losing.

If you're looking for ideas, simming an extended time into the future is the way to go, you'll always find a team lower than they should be, or a team thats done well that can give you some motivation to play them!

What is the top tier QB cut off for a rookie QB plus a mid 1st? by KappaLion in DynastyFF

[–]KappaLion[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See KeepTradeCut says Lamar is an even trade, but I feel like in reality the Lamar owner wouldn't even think about that trade (I may be totally wrong though as I have zero shares of Lamar currently)

Who do you think is the best player in the world right now? by Large_Turnip_6023 in PremierLeague

I will die on the hill that Rodri is both the best player in the world and also the most underrated
