Fantasy EFC Rebuild

[evertony]

Considering we all want a significant rebuild, all love the transfer thread fumes and all reckon there's a bit of ITK in each of us, how about somebody smarter than me builds a Fantasy EFC Rebuild competition.

Maybe you each pick 6 players you think will leave, or who you want to leave, 6 players you think might join or you hope join, and name the starting 11 for the first game of the new season. Points awarded for each and every transfer in/out you predicted, points deducted if one of your incoming choices goes elsewhere and bonus points based on you picking a 'nailed on' in and out and it coming off (like double Captain points). Points for every one of the starting 11 you get right....and a big points deduction if the Shyte sign any of the players you've chosen.

Wouldn't include those already gone live T-Clevz and Kone etc.

Anyone keen on setting it up or expanding it?

Or file under "nah, Koeman/Barkley/Lukaku out"?

Nah, we've enough fantasy ITK's on here as it is without encouraging any more

Harness the energy.

Harness the energy.

OK I'll give it a go

1) sell the gash players we have
2) buy better than those left after we sold off the gash
3) keep those newly acquired better players and sell the now gash ones.
4) buy more better players. etc. etc.

I dont think we have to be either/or. A first team core of about 18 players is what we need:

Out of the current lot of established players I'd retain: Coleman, Gueye, Schneiderlin, Barkley, Mori and keep Robles as a #2 (Lukaku and Deulofeu will be sold, imo). Add the newer players/barely tried players: Davies, Holgate, Galloway, Kenny, Dowell. Buy 8 this season: #1 GK, two CBs, two out and out attackers, a starting LB, a playmaker.

That's what a major and ambitious reconstruction would look like.

We, of course, will get f.a. like that because the board are doing this ad hoc as per, and on the cheap as per.

That's what gave me the idea Dave.

Maybe "Challenge @davek " would have generated more interest or participation

New front 2 of Bale & Ibrahimovic. No need for any other new players as we will win every match twelvety-nil.

(If they stay fit that is....)

On past form, which as we know is not 'always' a reliable indicator, I fear your version will be nearer the reality of the situation than it is to the 100M+ 8 decent player spunk fest we actually need.

edit; needs video clip of end of The Who song...

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

(must be played loud)
