Using the same picture from the week 3 discussion thread for convenience...

Any matches you will be targeting? Haven't really gone through it myself.

With Colorado going against Minnesota, I'm grabbing Howard, Sjoberg, and Watts.

My initial setup is similar. But Minnesota has not been shut out yet and their defense is their biggest liability. I would rather stock up on offense against them. The problem is Colorado has multiple guys who are kind of OK at scoring, instead of 1-2 clear choices.

its a trap game. minn does not want to get blown out 3x. they'll pull back some on offense and 'try' to sure up defense. my bet they get shut out, and concede less. To many scrubs to guess who might score limited goals. but hey if i knew anything id be making money in vegas, so take my analysis with a grain of salt.

I don't think very highly of San Jose. Can anyone tell me if I'm making a mistake by loading up on Melia, Besler, and Opara from SKC at home?

Looking much better to start the week.
Captained Villa which is my only mistake so far.

Apparently, I've already lost interest. Played the same lineup and didn't log in since last Sunday until tonight.

Apparently a player, whose team has clean sheet, who is subbed off and the team loses the clean sheet, gets to keep the 5 clean sheet points.

Yes!

Yes!

That is ridiculous.

that's standard, he earned the clean sheet for the 60 min, if he is subbed off and they lose the shutout is it his fault, no, so he gets to keep it.

the reverse of that, if a guy gets a red card and the team gets blown out 6-0 he gets charged with every goal if he's a defender (-3 for 6 goals), but not if he is a forward. Tell me how that's fair?! If a forward gets a red, they will likely continue their formation without the forward; if a defender gets a red, they will sub a forward off and put a defender on thus playing the same set up as if a forward got the red. Sooooo if they get blown out 6-0 cause they are a man down its equally devastating in reality, but in fantasy a defender gets punished worse then a forward.
