Fantasy Premier League 23/24 is GO!! ** SPOILERS**

[Shaoxter]

Fairly successful bench boost I would say, glad Bruno played the second match and got some points and some nice clean sheets for my Arsenal defenders.

Any decent punts for the last week of the season? I'm 40 points behind first place and 40 points ahead of third in my minileague so it's tempting to go for some real left field choices

[fiatpower]

116 points for me. Annoyingly I forgot you can't play wildcard and bench boost together so wildcarded my team to bring lots of double gameweek players in to find I couldn't play bench boost! Ended up with 27 points on the bench too. At least I will be able to play it in the final gameweek.

I think i've comfortably won my main league as i'm 97 points ahead of 2nd place.

[cerb4.5lee]

91 for me with 24 on my bench!

Very well played to all you 100 plus lot.

[48k]

121 points on the free hit for me. Ordinarily I'd be pleased with that but the average was really high this week due to lots of people saving a chip for this round so I'm still hovering just outside the top 1M although managed to climb 140k places.

Back to reality with a bump for the final week now the free hit is over. I'd need two transfers to get Haaland in and I'm starting to feel like I can't not have him in the team with the title still to play for.

142 points with the help of Bench Boost. Would have been 152 but for Danny Wellbeck’s 90+7 consolation goal. Git.

Terrific score!

[5pen]

You’d think so, wouldn’t you? I’m in a mini-league of 7 with my pub quiz pals and 142 was only the 3rd best score this week!

[jgrewal]

139 with the bench boost and like the fella above that Wellbeck 97 min took another 6 points off me!! Really sticky situation going into GW38 but I finally managed to clawback 100+ point lead at the top and lead the mini league by 4 points on the last game day with 2 others guys joint 2nd. How on earth do you play this? I only have 1 transfer do simply I try to match the the 2 guys below me? For sure I have to take out Wilson (didn't play at all silly punt from me last week) and Bruno F (think he could be rested for the cup final?). This minus 4 will leave me level on points with both the rivals and I will bring in Havertz and Watkins/Mateta. Squeaky bumtime for sure with basically a final day shoot out! Or do I just make one transfer save the minus 4 and hope Bruno or sub is the differential?

My mahoosive gamble ended with a total of 93 points (121 total - my 28 points for 8 transfers). Didn't really work out but in my position, worth the risk.

Richarlison didn't play at all, Veltman only played once, Dunk came off at HT in the second game. So I never did get the full 15 players playing twice but hey ho. I've got a decent looking team for the final week anyway.

Did notice something odd tonight. In the last six weeks, I've got 5 red arrows and a green arrow. However I am now higher than I was six weeks ago as each time I go down, it's only by 20k places or so. Just the silly few weeks in the middle of the season when I went from 584k overall to 2.6million overall in the space of nine weeks that has cost me.

Still be back for next year though.

109 without a chip.

Not bad, but still not in the top 1m.

Rubbish season.

You're 8 points ahead of me bud, so at least we can battle it out between us to see who finishes the highest.

Like you I'll be back again next year, and even though this hasn't been the greatest season ever(maybe an understatement), however I've still enjoyed it though.

Brought in Mateta for the last week just had last minute gut feeling! Finished on 87 today and won all my mini leagues with that final day masterstroke. Roll on next season!

Nice!

Still waiting on bonus points being added but on 73 and hoping to top 80 once they're added. One of my best non DGW, non Chip weeks. A shame it's months too late and can't even catch anyone in a mini league!

Nice one.

I left him on my bench...

[2HFL]

94 points here, which was a decent way to end by playing my bench boost.

Captained Palmer rather than Foden, Mateta or Isak, so that didn’t work.

Glad it’s all over…..!

Finished on 83. Comfortably my biggest non chip/DGW score. A shame I couldn't give performances like this before Christmas.

[North West Tom]

I ended on a stinker, dropped from 80k to 128k

However I won my mini-leagues so that's the important thing!

Sparing a thought for PH league winner - 35 points benched! Could maybe have got into the top 1k with those points.

[WarmSince74]

Just highlights the unpredictability and frustration of playing this game. I swear I’ve aged 10 years this season. 😂

I’m super pleased to be at the top of the league, highly unexpected against some tough competition in this league.

Glad it’s over …. for now. See you next season.

[48k]

79 points in the final week, my gamble on captaining Gvardiol didn't backfire as Haaland blanked.
2317 points / 891K final position is my 2nd best ever so happy with that.
Also won cups in the final rounds in two of my mini leagues.

Well done everyone else. Bring on next year!
