I got my fourth haul over 100 for the season with 103. Still a red arrow though and I've dropped to 731k overall.

Strange week for numbers, methinks. I went down 1800 places this week (to 5.8k) with 118 points, a total that saw me about 600k overall for this gameweek. Think more than 200k people triple captained Bruno.

Good on everyone who got over 100 points, I am still trying to hit that target.

So the new week is about to start but I am baffled. I've punted Watkins (again!) because I thought he would be suspended but he still hasn't come up as red for not playing

What gives? confused

Was just a one match ban so he missed the Everton game.

That's harsh, he told you the reason, no need to be rude. hehe

Ended up swapping Kane & Mahrez in for Vardy & Rashford. That has gone well, Mahrez was a victim of Pep roulette so having started the game week with nine players playing, I now have eight.

Hey ho.

I did the same with Mahrez, so annoying!

62 points this week for my best Gameweek rank of the season of 241,435th. Lots of green arrows in my leagues but sadly too late for any major change or chase.


It's just not been a good season at all for me. TC failed disastrously with Vardy drawing a blank on both games of a double game week and far too many gameweeks with a GW rank starting with a 4 and six digits or worse. Poor bench choices too.

This could actually end up being my worst overall season ever since I started playing. GW4 I had 22 points on the bench despite getting 60 points, GW6 14 on the bench, GW15 14 OTB and only got 48 points GW22 25 OTB and 62 points. GW31 I had 29 OTB and got 56 points. Oh how things could have been!

48.

Meh.

Did well with Bale who was a bit of a panic pick and made the right choice with Salah as Captain but not great elsewhere. Will be pleased to see Leicester back this week.

56 this week and sat at around 35k OR which is good, but crucial mistakes likely to lose me my mini league(s)

Not getting Greenwood for Moura for TGW
After the spell of crazy Dallas and Stones goals/points keeping Stones when Pep roulette started
Jumping on Nacho train about 5 weeks late (kept Bamford again far too long)

37 points this week - 4 for a transfer that saw me bring in a player that didn't play this week. hehe

33 points at the worst time possible threatens all the good work from the previous weeks. Only seven players played (they scored 2, 6, 6, 4, 6, 5 and 8) but now outside the top 10k and a lot of hard work to get back in. Already have two players with red beside their name, Dunk and Jota, and Jonny Evans has a yellow so have a choice as to whether to gamble and use another 4 points to bring in Salah or Vardy again.

I'd have taken being in this position at the start but now, it seems like a let down to be honest.

Nota definitely won’t play, Evans is also unlikely too. At this stage you’ve got to take a punt and drop one of them at least and go for Salah?

Having had a look, I'll probably leave the defence as it is. I can play Trent, Reguilon and Wan-Bissaka (Burnley, Villa and Fulham respectively) with Dunk/Evans on the bench. I have four active mids (Bruno, Lingard, Ward-Prowse and Mahrez) and three strikers (Kane, Iheanacho and Watkins). Have little budget so will need a tweak somewhere to be able to bring in Salah.

Reckon Villa are already on the beach although Watkins may want a good game to stand a possible chance of a Euros call up. Can’t see it if Ings is fit though. Bruno might be rested for the Europa Final, especially as he played twice last week as well as a sub appearance. Lings seems to have gone off the boil, or defenders are now keeping him on a tighter leash, I’m not sure. It’s all up in the air!

All valid points, MissChief, I have active players but not many are n good form. Trouble is, costing yourself 4 points for a transfer means that player HAS to contribute something otherwise you're on a net loss. Costing 8 points for two transfer is obviously double the risk. Will have a few moments tomorrow to work out what to do but I am errng towards 2 changes and saying "What the heck!"... hehe

I had to go full differential too so took a massive risk on Shaw.

Has not paid off so that’s that.

My captain choices and chip playing have been my undoing all year.

I ended up bottling it and just making one free change, Greenwood in for Jota.

Ummed and aahhed about dropping Mahrez but didn't and got something back. So much riding on Kane tomorrow night though....

I went down the Greenwood path instead of bring back Mount. frown

13 points after day one with three players on the pitch. Not a great start when everyone around me has scored into the 20's.

Ho hum.

42 points with 4 left to play.

Gundogan, Ilheanacho, Bamford all scoring, Bamford and Bruno getting assists, and a Clean sheet for Dallas.

Greenwood was a disappointment though, I swapped him out for Lingard.
