  1. Well since I just brought Dzeko in I'd say keep him. He was sharp in the first game and looks like Kun and him will start with Jovetic off the bench. He just signed a new contract and has a pretty decent scoring record against all opposition.

    As for Nasri he's kinda up and down. Some games he does fuck all and then he explodes and score like 15 points. I'd say hold off on both.

    I was so surprised when I looked at how many points Nasri scored last year, you're right in the fact he's a burst player but I guess he's also a player you sometimes underestimate scoring wise (corners, straight forward assists)

     

    Really need to improve on Bojan.

  2. 69. I'm done, no city or Liverpool this gameweek.

    Took a risk and straight swapped Giroud for Dzeko.

    What about you?

    52, Dzeko and Nasri to go, not sure what to think of Nasri - Put him in for Sterling with about 3 hours before lockout of GW1 and regretting it a little now albeit a week in.

     

    Really not convinced on both my City players, if neither perform might work towards replacing them over the next 2 weeks, maybe Nasri for Larsson and then Dzeko for a 9-9.5, thoughts?

    This is a good thing.

     

    If it were another club who had the backing of the City group, you'd all be crying foul.

     

    Needed to be done for the the integrity of the comp, otherwise the league loses part of its moral principles with the whole salary cap thing.

    It no way it is a good thing, full stop. 

    With each policy there needs to be exemptions, but the whole rule is just stupid, this rule has stopped the league as a whole from growing, once already.

    The rule will also stop, for example, some young Australian players not getting game time overseas to come back and get game time in the A-League because clubs cannot afford the loan regardless if any of their wage is being paid for or not.

     

    Yes, sometimes rules need exemptions, and that example is a great one.

     

    However, I don't think there should be exemptions to allow privileged clubs to bring in up to 5 high-profiled foreign footballers for close to zero salary cap outlay.

     

    I can understand how frustrating it must be to miss out on Lamps, especially for you, but the HAL/FFA needs to man up and set the record straight early on.

     

    Of course I see where you're coming from, BUT is it going to be needed within the near future? I happen to think not, I think it's not as necessary or a priority as others do.

  6. Definitely worth it at a glance/on paper, in my opinion. Regardless whether F1 is or isn't what it used to be, it's still a global circuit event and a massive sport/sport media event, having it here is a massive plus for the city.

     

    Don't really know the economic logistics of how it affects the State economy but doing Sport Media last semester really helped me learn how big the sport is (I always knew it was well followed and a global event, but didn't know how big it was in an economic sense) in terms of it's economic power and audience draw. The subject also made me realize what kind of the level the sport is, as a global circuit it falls only behind events like the Olympics or the World Cup.
