I swapped Gordon, Schar & Isak in for Nunez, Diaz and Estupinan, costing myself eight points.

Had hoped for a clean sheet but two goals and an assist from the other two has helped. And they're in place for the double GW coming soon.
That is a great start. thumbup

I've took a -12 hit for the next gameweek, so you'll definitely be back in front of me again I reckon. beer

72 for me and lots of green arrows, thanks mainly to the gamble to Captain Isak for the single game (26 points) when loads of people captained Palmer for the DGW to get 16.
Still haven't managed to break back in to the top 1M but hopefully I can manage to rescue my poor season over the remaining 3 game weeks. I'll be free hitting in 37 when lots of others will be on a bench boost so that will probably be the decider.

A disappointing 61 for me, and I was hoping that Palmer would've done a bit more really.

72 for me too... but a minus 12 to come of off that.

However there was a net gain of 9 over where I would have been without the hit.


Still JUST outside the top 1m which is my target for this abysmal year - but i have no chips left so 37 will be tricky.

This season is, by many magnitudes, my worst season ever in FPL. It’s actually depressing me a little. My current OR is almost exactly in the middle, way, way below my usual standards.

Terrible captain choices, picking up players who have a sudden loss of form when in my team and then get that form back when I take them out. Awful.

I've only ever finished outside of 1 million once, but this season I'm currently sat at 2.5 million overall though. It has definitely been a season to forget I think, although I do still enjoy tinkering with my team from week to week though.

Another one who has performed far better in recent seasons than this one. Think it is easy to get low about it but remember that a lot of others are in the same boat, kicking themselves over decisions that were taken at the time in good faith but with hindsight, look awful.

I currently sit around the 2.5 million mark, far worse than I've ever been before.

100+ points this week, into the top 100k now bounce
Hopefully the bench boost next week will reap more rewards!

That’s a bloody good effort. Impressed by that.

Mini league season over for me - went for Foden instead of Haaland as captain which I thought to be differential. No way Im catching 40 points in 2 weeks now it was a good chase after being 100 points behind and closing it to just 6 points 2 weeks ago.

94 points this week albeit eight of them come off for the extra transfers I made. The switches didn't really help much however captaining Haaland was a big help as was seven players scoring betwen 5-8 points. Sometimes it's not just two or three big scorers that help you, it's having consistently decent points across your team.

This week, will be looking at possibly costing myself at least 8 points again but ensuring that I have as many DGW's as possible while playing bench boost chip.

There are close to 11 million players in the game now. Less than 1 million got a lower score than me. Thousands of Inactive teams scored better than me.

Doesn't help that all those dead teams will likely still have Haaland set as captain from when they were active.

He comes along and bangs and everyone else who was trying to be smart falls behind.

Frustrating!

I managed 91 points and I didn't captain Haaland, so I'm happy with that to be fair. I did take a -12 though, plus I've took another -12 going into the DG as well.

83 points this week. I'm second in my work league and was catching up on 1st but I captained Isak and not Haaland so now further adrift! Think my mate got 113 points.

A former work colleague of mine finished seventh in his company mini-league a couple of seasons ago and one of the players that beat him had died in the October beforehand. Team was full of the likes of Salah, de Bruyne, Silva etc and his team motored on regardless.... hehe
