Arya's List scores solo bonus points for Peter Bonetti, moving her into triple digits. She also has Greaves as a solo- daily double perchance? Ahhh, I would have had Moss, but I'd mostly sacked him from pools where age affects scores because of turning 90. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny kiltrunner 553 Posted April 12, 2020 Just now, Toast said: Ahhh, I would have had Moss, but I'd mostly sacked him from pools where age affects scores because of turning 90. That's a common refrain. Lots of the obvious choices just don't seem worth wasting a pick on, but those solo points become worthy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted April 17, 2020 So I dropped Vialli after the in remission news in all of the pools I’m in and replaced him with Christophe in all the pools. Look like I made the right call there cause even if he does die this year, Christophe is still worth more points than Vialli at death. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'll see if that works out. Nice choice there mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny kiltrunner 553 Posted April 23, 2020 Anyone make some trades? I dropped Peter Duchin, who seems to be recovering, and added Bullet Bob Armstrong. Couldn't seem to find any suitable Covid candidates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny kiltrunner 553 Posted May 2, 2020 Most of us were paying attention to the news and were going by his stable status at the time. Immunotherapy works wonders until it doesn't. We'll move back up I think. On a happier note, i was able to trade for Rishi Kapoor and was rewarded the next day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny kiltrunner 553 Posted May 16, 2020 Anyone make any trades yesterday? I was surprised to see I was the only one to take a flyer on Kenny Sansom in this pool; he was a popular swap in other pools. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainChorizo 1,977 Posted May 17, 2020 Was gonna add Kenny Sansom but I think I spelled his name wrong or they added jum just before the trade deadline. Good pickup for those that got him,and even if recovers can be traded next trade round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
