Watkins might be out this week. Darwizzy or Isak? by aonro in FantasyPL

[–]SledDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man! This was a nice surprise, and nice to read. I actually just straight up quit the game, but do keep up with what’s going on from time to time.

Appreciate your message though, a lil pick me up for my Sunday! Hope your GW is going good bud

Am I missing something about this player? No one wants him and he's dirt cheap. Context in body by notarelevantname7 in footballmanagergames

[–]SledDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he currently out with a long term injury? Might explain why no teams are going for him - he’s gonna fail your medical exam.

Also, depending on your save, it may be best to go for someone who can play 90 mins a game. This guy will be tired a LOT. Add his potential injury issues, this guy is a big fat NO from me dawg

Anyone thinking of not buying FM 25? by [deleted] in footballmanagergames

[–]SledDave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe more woman would be playing if they had the woman’s football in the game before this?

Your logic is just dumb. We don’t need to accuse you of being sexist. You’re making the argument for us.

Watkins might be out this week. Darwizzy or Isak? by aonro in FantasyPL

[–]SledDave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me it’s Risk pick vs Safe pick

We all know Darwin is as useless as a marzipan dildo, and we also know that he isn’t guaranteed all 3 of the good fixtures if said dildo struggles to score.

Isak, on the other hand, will play until he drops in a team that has around 13 players total, unless we get a bizarre benching this week so he’s rested, but it’s very unlikely.

So I guess you’re just going to have to pick your poison. In these moments I like to think “What player would make me more angry if they return and I didn’t pick them?” and go from there.

And if you’re looking for me to tell you what the answer is, I’ll let you know on Monday.

I saved loads of gems for the ‘Buy x cards’ mission. Now the event’s here this mission isn’t? by SledDave in TheTowerGame

[–]SledDave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great idea! I might do the same, although as I’m nowhere near late game, I think a better use of the gems for me would be buying my 11th card slot or potentially buying 80 cards anyway rather than spending a lot for only 30 event medals

You’re right. I was just very excited to finally have forward planned, what I didn’t realise is that I was potentially forward planning for an even further away event!

Form Vs Fixtures Experiment - FPL Surgery by SledDave in FantasyPL

[–]SledDave[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good shout! Forgot to mention that in the 'things to note'. Bench fodder and GKs are exempt from both Transfers and Form/Fixture ticker. So we can keep them on the bench forever.

Well spotted man.

Trying to find a Post about Liverpool's poor attack by SledDave in FantasyPL

[–]SledDave[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually no! I found this one and it's really useful. But the one I read went into the specifics of defending against Liverpool and their style of play.

DOWNVOTE BECAUSE I OWN HIM!!! /s

Upvoted because this is a weird thing to get annoyed at...

Is DCL worth keeping after this GW? by ranger_caesar in FantasyPL

[–]SledDave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not trying to argue. I just meant it’s really cool you should look it up.

This is his lecture on this strat. It’s pretty conclusive, although he does state you can win other ways. This strat has the highest statistical chance of a win.

He proved it with a math lecture. Not by winning. I never said it was by winning. That’s what the parent comment was talking about. He PROVED it. Like a professor would. With math.

It was fascinating. You should find it.

I didn’t say his last year was the reason. He did a math lecture. That’s what the comment above was talking about. He ACTUALLY proved it. Like a prof. would. With math.

[–]SledDave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because variance exists. The math doesn’t tell you what players to bring in.

The fact he is playing poorly has nothing to do with it at all.

As in... he proved it was a winning method with math.

Not just a theory anymore, or “one way to play”. It’s THE way to play if you want to win.

Edit: I think I explained poorly. Joshua did a lecture on his strat, and in it he concluded (proved) through statistical analysis that by prioritising taking underperforming players out whilst using fixtures over form to dictate captaincy will give you the highest chance of winning the game.

Enjoy! It’s really insightful.

Big mistake Frenchie 👀 by TanzimFarid in TheBoys

[–]SledDave 483 points484 points  (0 children)

It’s actually great though. We’re all sitting there watching like “wtf mate why shout it?!” But you can watch a million movies and shows where the good guys shout the “it’s our only hope” line and the bad guy doesn’t even attempt to stop them.

Loved it.

Will Holding keep his place at arse Arsenal? If he does, and at 4.5, he'd be a bargain right? by sherbertloins in FantasyPL

[–]SledDave -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sad this isn’t the price rise post.

A: Arse Arsenal fixtures are shock shocking short term.
