Fantasy Football 2017/18

Probably end up net worse than a usual GW.

Unless Pogba can score a couple tomorrow and we get a clean sheet :D

I need Jesse to do some stuff tomorrow, and I might, just might, make up one more position. Currently on 70 before bonus points and the guy I'm chasing is on 44 with De Gea. I really want him to get the glove too :lol:
 
A list of teams with something to play for would be useful for the next gw :nervous:

Salah rested surely?

Thanks Kane, that just helps me quite a bit (TC). My mate had Sterling as captain, so thank you Pep! Now just need Valencia to play tomorrow, as well as Smalling...
 
8 points is still absolutely shit for a triple captain. Was expecting around 20 from Kane.

It is indeed, by all means. For me it was kind of great though, with above story in mind. I was 150 points up on this fecker over Christmas, before this round it was tied. Thank god Sterling didn’t play today

I triple captained him in his other DGW midseason. He didn't score at all, only started one of the matches and provided just an assist.
 
Why didn't in think to TC Aubamayang :(
The thought crossed my mind, but realistically I was only ever choosing between Kane and Sterling. Very disappointing use of TC but I expected as much whenever I used it!
 
Until Harry finally pulled his finger out, that was a DGW without a goal, assist or clean sheet from any of the alleged professional footballers I put my trust in this week. A truly stunning performance.

I also considered him for a second but instead dismissed the idea in favour of Kane or Jesus. At least I didn't put it on Jesus thank feck!
 
Used my Bench Boost and decided to captain Hazard, couldn't believe he was benched tonight. 103 points(-4) with Masuaku and Rashers to go, hopefully.
3-2 with a Rashers HT and a Masuaku dbl assist is not too much to ask for, is it?
 
This dgw has cut down my lead by 30-40 points. Still have a healthy 75 point lead in one group and 45 in the other. My gameplan backfired spectacularly. I wanted to make my team as similar as possible to my closest rivals. I ended up going against my instincts on several players. Disappointing end to the season.
 
Who will people be captaining in the final gw38 and why? Thought I'd do Kane, but he was absolutely terrible last night, so more tempted on Salah - Pool still need to not lose.
 
what a shambles of a season. :lol:
Hasn't it been the most ridiculous fantasy season? I think mine went wrong when I backed Kane from the start of the season, only for him not to turn up until September, the lack of returns and constraints on my budget left me 50 odd points adrift of some, which I've never really made up..
 
17 points from Sane was nice. What let down from Jesus and Sterling though.

Must say these odd results are playing into my hands in my main mini league. Now 126 clear with Pogba and De Gea to play and then Sundays matches.

I reckon I might bring in Salah for that week just to cover the main threats.

You'd do well to let that let lead slip.

I really hate this game. I had 10 green arrows in a row, moved up hundreds of thousands of places, and now this week has just pulled me back again even with my bench boost!
 
On 102 -16 with Smalling and Pogba to go.

Dropped to second in my ML as the guy behind me hit 129 with the same two to go tonight and 0 hits. (Auba TC, Alonso, Vertonghen)

I had Moses and Lacazette not play last night.

I guess Leicester suits Kane better. More room and more kamikaze-defending compared to Newcastle and WBA. Liverpool can trash Brighton of course...

Need a differential so no Kane ©️ for me. Can’t afford Salah without -4, so most likely I’ll gamble on Mané or maybe Sané. Need to make up ground in mini league, about 30p, desperately.
Also need United to deliver today, got DDG, Smalling and Lingard.
If only I’d gone with Auba ©️©️©️ Instead of Sterling.. :lol:
 
Yeah toss up between Kane & Salah for GW38 captain. It'll be someone totally out of the blue that smashes it though almost guaranteed.

Don't you think Salah might be rested for the last game?
I took a gamble and transferred Salah out this week, replaced him with Sane, so that's worked out pretty good so far.

Rested for what? Champions league final is nearly a full 2 weeks after the Brighton match.
 
I'm currently 9 points off top in my mini league. Both of us have De Gea but he has Pogba and Smalling tonight and I have Arnautovic (who is a doubt)

Guy in 3rd is only 6 points behind me (though he has no West Ham or United players)

Final weekend will be very tight. Can't remember the exact numbers but it's roughly

1st: £300
2nd: £200
3rd: £100

The guy in 4th is around 40 points away from me and only has Smalling to play tonight so I should win some cash.

Heavy research will be done selecting my team.
 
Damn I'd hate to be in a race that close on the final week as you know it'll probably come down to someone not starting or being left out of the squad entirely that swings it. Scores are historically all over the shop on that final day too. Total lottery.
 
Feeling it could be Auba in for Jesus for the last game of the season..
Difficult one though.
 
Going to put the armband on Zaha, feck it.
I'm doing that also. In my main ML I'm 209 points ahead of number two so that's wrapped up. On another league that I wasn't really focusing on, I'm 45 points behind the top spot but he has a similar team to mine but not Zaha so might as well throw a hail mary!
 
A 0-0 in tonight's game would bank me 3 clean sheets to put me back at the top of my work league, not that it is going to happen of course!
 
I'm second in my works league (£130 for the winner, nothing for 2nd!) and 4 points behind.

Got my triple captain to use, debating on Auba, Jesus or Salah. Thining about subbing Wilian for Zaha as well but not sure.

Who does no 1 have? Already did Willian for Zaha myself. Newcastle is not a place I see Willian getting any points at (10 men behind the ball and destructive)
