In a season of disappointing scores, this week has capped the lot. When others are scoring a century of points and some have gone over 150 even, my 56 points is puny in comparison.

Were it not for Andersen, Gabriel, Eze & Watkins, the week would have been carnage. Still have Foden left to go but just been a really REALLY poor season overall. My usual finish is around 300-500k (apart from one season where I fluked 18.5k) but this season, will be lucky to finish inside the top 3 million.

Sheesh.
I've had a terrible season too. I'm never amazing but usually happy enough with my finishing position. I've been as high as the 200,000's and usually end up within the million every season. Except last season and this one. Currently languishing in the 5 million OR. It's been a disaster. Terrible captain choices and the massive lack of differential meant I'm hundreds of points behind in ly leagues too after saving my chips until the end of the season until it's too late to make up any ground.

I haven't a clue how I've done it, but I've managed to catch and overtake you now Martin(and I've done 86 transfers over the season as well costing me loads of points). In gameweek 15 you were at 584k overall, and I was at 6.2 million overall in comparison.

Apologies and I know that won't make you feel any better, but I just wanted to highlight how unpredictable and odd this game can be that is all. I've took loads of risks/minus hits, but I've still managed to climb the rankings a bit regardless though.

This will still be my worst ever season since I started doing it back in 2011 overall points wise though anyway.

This has been an awful season - i've spent 90% of it outside the top 1m, nothign seems to have gone right.

Other than my very first season in 2017 I've never finished outside the top 300k, including a glorious 100th in 18/19.

On the back of last night i've crept into 924k but all my chips are gone now, so i'm not confident about staying inside the 1m barrier with everyone setting up for the next few game weeks.

143 points for me. I don't have any City or Brighton players so that's my final score. Pleased with that. Plenty of green arrows although that might change if Foden gets a brace tonight.
Only took him 34 mins ffs.

Millions transfer Foden in, Pep benches him next game.

Finished on 124. I did have Branthwaite and Foden on my bench but as I left Haaland and Palmer in and they didn't play, it automatically switched them over which I didn't realise it did. I've been lucky there!

145 for me, and that is 6 points higher than my previous all time high of 139. So I'm chuffed with that, but I still won't be winning any of my leagues though regardless.

It was finally time to ditch Salah this week after having him all season (and probably all of the previous seasons too!) so I'm quite pleased to see he's been benched today

TC activated (feels like the last opportunity!) although I strongly suspect I should have taken a -4 or even -8 to bring some Newcastle assets in…

Who have you gone for? I would have thought gw37 would have been a better opportunity as the double fixtures aren't that great this week?

Palmer although it’s awful obvious.

You’re right that GW37 probably had better fixtures but I still have a bench boost to play so planning to use that then instead with more double ups.

Good thing I transferred Bowen out though…

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.
